Let’s be honest: devotionals for "Christian Girls" are painful. This week, we're talking about a book from our youth, which isn’t just outdated—it’s a masterclass in teaching girls to feel small, ashamed, and silent. We’re unpacking the purity culture, body shaming, and impossible standards it peddles. This is just the first in a series, and trust us, we’re not holding back. Women, if you're ready to see yourselves as worth more to God than you ever thought possible, hit play—this one’s for you.

Ever prayed as a kid for a miraculous snowstorm—just to skip church? Been there. In this episode, we're talking about growing up in ultra-conservative churches, complete with boring devotionals and the same sermons over and over. Alyssa dishes on her “perfect Christian girl” phase—spoiler alert: it didn’t age well—and Bri shares how being single in the church sometimes feels like wearing a neon “unworthy” sign. If you’ve ever wondered how to unlearn the toxic churchy stuff while keeping the faith, this episode is for you. Press play and let’s dive into the mess together.

Today, we’re talking about Mary at the wedding in Cana and the audacious faith it takes to ask Jesus for a miracle—even when he seems to brush her off. The wine’s running out, the party’s about to flop, and Mary’s like, “Hey Jesus, do your thing.” His response? Basically, “Not my problem.” But Mary doesn’t even flinch—she just tells the servants, “Do whatever he says,” and boom, miracle time. Join us as we dive into this how her belief sparked Jesus’s first miracle and what it teaches women about strength, leadership, and maybe even a little holy side-eye.

When you picture Mary, the mother of Jesus, is she draped in blue, head bowed, the epitome of quiet submission? That’s the image art and tradition have sold us—but Mary was so much more. She was fierce. She was resilient. She was a leader—one whose husband submitted to her. This week, we’re taking a sledgehammer to the demure Mary trope and uncovering the incredible woman behind the blue veil. Want to know what strength really looks like? Hit play.

Alright, gather 'round, because we're talking Mary, the OG mother of Jesus (or MMOJ as the cool kids call her). Most Christmas services say, "Let's start at Luke 2, no need to go any further back." But not us, we're going all the way back to Luke 1 to see Mary make her big debut. And let us tell you, this teenager was way more than just some demure figure in a painting. Mary was the real deal - relatable and struggling with that whole "Hey, you're pregnant" news from the angel Gabriel. So let's ditch the caricatures and get to know the actual Mary. Grab your iced coffee or glass of wine, and let's dive into the story of one of the most iconic women in the Bible.

The holiday season: a time for joy… so we're told. Between gift lists, family gatherings, and endless to-dos, how do you hold onto that deep, lasting joy we’ve been told we're supposed to feel? In this episode, we’re talking about finding joy in the chaos and stress of the holidays. With a little help from Scripture (and maybe a laugh or two), we’re unpacking what it means to protect your peace and find some joy—because if Jesus talked about it, it’s probably worth a shot.

Picture this: the turkey’s still frozen, your aunts are already arguing about the mashed potatoes, and someone just brought up politics at the table. Sound familiar? We’re diving into all the chaos that comes with Thanksgiving – from setting boundaries that actually stick to finding real gratitude (even when it’s hard). Grab a slice of pumpkin pie and join us, because this year, we’re all about thankfulness and maybe even a little peace... in theory.

Thanksgiving is here, and so is the family drama buffet. But what if setting boundaries wasn’t just a self-care trend but something Jesus himself modeled? In this episode, we talk about why saying "no" to the guilt trip and the extra helping of stress might actually be Biblical. Whether it’s dodging awkward questions at the table or stepping away from toxic traditions, we’re here to remind you: even Jesus didn’t cater to everyone’s expectations. Let’s carve up some boundaries—just like the turkey!
