113. The Pain of Pornography

 We all have moments that seem to break us a little. Sooner or later, we each face seasons where the pain of those moments feels unbearable, and the effects of what we’ve done or experienced paint a picture that looks like the end of our purpose. But guess what? It’s not over yet. Because in the words of today’s guest, broken crayons still color. Join Ginger, Jai, Erin and special guest Toni Collier for a conversation with grit, candor and humor that will remind you that even in your brokenness, your life is still beautifully filled with purpose.

112. Broken Crayons Still Color

 There’s an unspoken pain that comes with struggling to conceive. The deep desire in your very core to be a mom just isn’t happening. Or maybe you’re watching friends or family members struggle with infertility, and your heart is breaking for them. Maybe you or someone around you is silently grieving the loss of a precious baby. Because infertility is much more common than we often realize, there’s a good chance it’s affected you or someone you love in a deep way. Whatever your story has been, please join us for this very important episode. Join Ginger, Jai, Erin and their good friends Jami and Kim for a conversation that will encourage and remind you that right here, right now, you are anything but alone.

111. A Desperate Prayer for a Baby

 There’s no way God still loves me…He knows how broken I am. I’ve lost too much and messed up too much to help anybody else. Grace? Yeah, that’s for them, not me. My bad decisions got me here—I deserve this pain. Any of these thoughts sound familiar? When we’re going through deep pain and loss, it’s easy to think that we’re past hope and beyond God’s love, but nothing could be further from the truth. Join Ginger, Jai, Erin and the stunning Taylor Madu (co-pastor of Social Dallas and wife of Robert Madu) to find out why and how He will never leave your side, no matter how deep the pain.  

110. Grace to Start Over with Taylor Madu

 Faith is great. It even seems unshakable at times…until. Until the layoff. Until that friendship unravels. Until the loved one you’ve been praying for passes away. Until your vision for the future is totally upended by a loss you never saw coming. What do we do when we get to “until”? Join Joyce, Ginger, Jai and Erin for a conversation where they share keys to help you hold on to your faith, stay close to Jesus and have hope, even in the middle of circumstances that feel too heavy to handle. He’s got you.

109. When Faith Gets Crazy Hard

 Life as a girl can be both an incredibly beautiful experience and an extremely challenging one, no matter what your background. Satan fights HARD to keep us from living in freedom and boldness, because he knows a God-empowered woman is a massive threat to his plans. But guess what? He loses every time we genuinely discover our value and start fighting back. Join us for a conversation where Joyce, Ginger, Jai and Erin talk through some of the joys + challenges they’ve overcome in life and in ministry, look at ways we can make life better for each other, and equip you to start taking back what the enemy has stolen.

108. Being a Girl is No Joke

 Anxious but not sure what to do about it? We have BEEN there.

How can I calm myself down when I wake up shaking in the middle of the night?  …this episode is for you. Listen in for tools and reminders from God’s Word that will equip you to live your best life with real peace.

107. The Answer to Anxiety

Valentine’s Day. You either love it or you hate it, for a variety of reasons. For some of us, we love the ooey gooey hearts and flowers of it all… others of us are still reeling from a messy breakup, loneliness in a marriage or the aching disappointment of being single for too many years. Wherever you are on the relational spectrum, this episode will build + lift your heart. Listen in as Ginger, Jai and Erin unpack Psalm 139—one of the sweetest love notes in Scripture—and how it relates to you. Get a glimpse of the beauty your Creator sees in you, the unconditional, never-goes-away-or-runs-out kind of love He’s always had for you, and hear a few of the stunning thoughts He’s thinking about you.

106. Psalm 139: A Love Story

105. Say It Like You Mean It - w/ Chelsea Perry

 Is there a part of you that feels like your past has already ruined your future? We all have something—whether it’s trauma that’s wrecked our self-image, a lack of opportunity in childhood, or even a seemingly fatal mistake—that looks like a sentence to a life of less-than.   But guess what? It isn’t. And today’s episode can help you find your new beginning. Join in as Ginger, Jai and Erin connect with their amazing friend, Meredith Brock (CEO of Proverbs 31 Ministries) and share the incredible power of surrendering the pain of your past and letting God transform your story…because He’s the best Author.  

104. Does Your Past Define Your Future? With Meredith Brock

Has the idea of studying the Bible ever felt intimidating?

Tune in as Joyce joins Ginger, Jai and Erin for a conversation where each one of them shares scriptures and tips that will make your time in God’s Word feel like anything but a chore.

100. Why You Need to Celebrate Your Progress

Have you ever found yourself believing a lie? Maybe one of these will ring a bell… I can’t understand the Bible—it’s too confusing. Because ______ said I’m not good enough, it must be true. It’s hopeless—this problem will never go away. NO one understands how I’m hurting…I really am alone. Satan loves to use our circumstances, other people, the culture around us, and even our own thoughts to wedge and cement lies just like these in our thinking... but God’s Word has the power to set us free from all of them.
