We see Mary display penetrating intuition as she visits Elizabeth shortly after finding out she is expecting in her old age. Given that Elizabeth's husband had lost his ability to speak, Mary's supportive and encouraging words were probably nee...

What does it look like to show limitless fidelity and tireless devotion to our work?  Mary was a mother of one son who spent her days caring for her family and keeping their home in Nazareth. We can assume her days would have been filled w...

We continue to reflect on Mary as she "mirrors the loftiest sentiments of which the human heart is capable." This episode we unpack "the strength that is capable of bearing the greatest sorrows." During Lent, we are all invited to visit places ...

As we enter the season of Lent, we are given a time to reflect on our spiritual lives and the ways we want to prepare our hearts for the Easter season. What better way to prepare our hearts than with the help of Mary. She plays a maternal role ...

We thought we would do a little Advent special because we both missed doing a podcast! During this episode, we reflect on how Christ has prepared our hearts for the celebration of His birth at Christmas. We both realized in typical fashion that...

This week we reflect on one of Andrea's favorite psalms- Psalm 1. This psalm is a simple psalm about life with God vs. a life without God. We share our insights from personal mediation while continuing to add to our scripture tool box and discu...

Oftentimes we can exhaust ourselves trying to figure out what the Lord is trying to tell us in prayer. Spending time in scripture can give space for God to penetrate our hearts and speak to us clearly."The word of God is alive and active" (Hebr...

As we find ourselves entering into a new season, we would like to take a moment and ask, "What has Jesus done in my heart?" Let us never forget that Jesus is constantly pursuing our hearts and meets us where we are at to usher us into new depth...

As we wrap up our fourth season and our study of women in the geneology of Christ, it seems only fitting that we study Mary's life and what she teaches us about being a woman.  We often overlook the humanness of Mary. Just think how awesom...

The next woman's story we dive into in the geneology of Christ is Ruth.  Ruth is connected to Rahab because she ends up marrying Rahab's son, Boaz. Ruth is a Moabite woman who leaves everything behind to follow her mother-in-law Naomi back...

So, which women should we model our lives after? 5 women are named specifically in the genealogy of Jesus: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Uriah's wife (Bathsheba), and Mary. Each showcase qualities of womanhood that we are called to model our lives after....

"It's literally impossible to be a woman." This is how Gloria starts her monologue in the Barbie movie about how difficult it is to be a woman by the culture's standards. We have all been hit with the impossible feat of trying to keep up with t...

We are excited to continue our conversation about womanhood while diving into a specific charism of women: receptivity. Everyone wants to be received by a woman and we also want to be received as women, but we can quickly find ourselves in plac...

Where are all the  places and who are all the people that have taught you about womanhood? Our moms, the culture, social media, and people in our lives tell us things about what it mean to be a woman.  We are continuously being expose...

Being in seasons of suffering or hardships can really test our faith and makes it easy to forget the truths about who God is and what He wants to do for us.  In this episode, Andrea and Lizz walk through hardships they have been experienci...

We all have strong memories that are connected to scent and find ourselves drawn to or repelled by certain scents. This idea can serve as a metaphor for us in the spiritual life. 2 Corinthians  chapter 2 speaks of us being the "aroma of Ch...

Andrea and Lizz came into their relationship with Jesus from very different backgrounds and with different sets of preconceived notions. This episode explores the difference between what they thought being in relationship with Jesus was going t...

Every Christian from their baptism has been called to be a missionary but it can be easy to convince ourselves to leave the missional work to the "professionals." We hope that this conversation shows the humanity of missional work and that God ...

Preconceived notions feel inevitable when walking into marriage and the role of being a wife.  In this episode, we talk about preconceived notions we had and how the reality of being a wife differed from our expectations. Andrea brings 30 ...

God shows up in the big and small events of our life. He showed up big for Andrea on the day of her father's funeral and for Lizz on her wedding day. This episode dives into the unexpected abundance of Jesus' love in pivotal days of our life. W...

In this episode, we reflect on the journey of our podcast thinking about where we are and where we have been.  We began this journey during COVID and we promised to create a space that encouraged you and made you constantly aware of how Go...

Season 5 Finale! We could tell stories for days that recount all the ways we have encountered the faithfulness of God. For the sake of the episode, we just pick a few! St. Paul tells us in Corinthians, "I am confident of this, that the one who ...

Upon reflecting on the state of one's heart in relationship to Jesus, the image of clay continued to be present. Like in Jeremiah 18:1-6, we must go to the Potter's house and allow him to fix any part of us that has been spoiled and remain plia...

This episode continues to explore the story of the hemorrhaging woman but goes a little further to include the story of Jairus and his little girl being raised from the dead. In order for us to be able to encounter others, we must first allow o...

This week, while Lizz is in Peru on a mission trip, we have the special treat of having Rachael White (Lizz's Mom) join us on the podcast!  Together we discuss how Jesus models for us how to encounter others by meandering through the story...
