We just showed up and started talking.” Fran “The consistent thing in every episode is we will always talk about the Lord and also the fun and ridiculous things in our lives. We have stayed true to who we are. There is a zero percent chance we will ever be too serious.” Fran “Whatever hard thing you are doing, take time to celebrate the wins, no matter how big or small.” Angela “Maybe you’ve said ‘no’ to something and you need to rethink it. Be brave enough to see what the Lord can do when you step outside your comfort zone.” Angela October memory verse: 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].” Prior episodes we referenced: Lydia Brown & Atlas - 9/29/20 Audra Teague - Episode #71 Being Prepared with Rayna Bomar - Episode #117 Each episode is recorded on the campus of !

#197 Susannah B. Lewis: Rooted and Rising! 10/06/2025

#197 Susannah B. Lewis: Rooted and Rising! This week, we are joined by our dear friend and best-selling author, Susannah B. Lewis. You will love Susannah's humor and authenticity as we discuss our faith and the challenge she placed before us at the Rooted and Rising Women's Event last month. We talk about the four types of soil and the condition of our hearts, and Susannah shares what prompted her to grow deeper in her relationship with the Lord. We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus in our everyday lives while also learning, being challenged, and growing together, while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all. Favorite quotes from this episode: In praying for wisdom, the Lord gave me the desire for His Word. We have to be rooted in God's Word, or there is no fruit. God wants to transform our hearts! Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." There is a difference between being saved and being surrendered. The fruit doesn't come from dipping the plant in the soil. It has to be rooted there. As I am growing spiritually, my thoughts have changed. My interests have changed. I am so on fire for the Lord that He has taken priority in my life, and my social media reflects that. I have come to know just how much I need the blood of Jesus, which in turn makes me bolder to speak that. We are called to be bold! That's what he wants from us! The older we get, the more hungry we become for the scriptures! We better understand what Jesus did for us, and we do not take that lightly! If we are struggling to fast from something, it has become an idol. We should be grieved by what grieves God. Our whole lives are a war between the flesh and the spirit. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23 Just because someone is older, that doesn't mean they are wise. Look for the fruit. Don't take spiritual advice from someone who is not in God's Word. We can be aware of what is going on in the world without being consumed by it. We will drift if we aren't actively drawing closer to the Lord. Ecclesiastes 1:18 "The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief. To increase knowledge only increases sorrow." Our memory verse for October: 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." Follow Susannah on social media!

#196 Fear is a Liar 09/29/2025

#196 Fear is a Liar This week, we share what we learned from our September memory verses in Colossians 1, and Fran shares our new memory verse for October, plus her takeaways from a powerful ministry event with Jaco Booyens on Union's campus last week. We talk about the power of confessing our sin and praying protection over one another, plus the prayer Jesus prayed over us in John 17. We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all. Did you memorize Colossians with us in September? What is the Lord teaching you through these verses? "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father,who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." Colossians 1:9-12 "It's time for us to be done with shallow, surface level faith. There is so much to learn, and the Lord wants to be engaged with us through his Word." Fran We have a new scripture memory verse for October: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment." 2 Timothy 1:7 CSB Learn more about Listen to a sermon by Jaco Booyens John 17:11-19 "I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."

#192 Fun Hot Takes, Jesus, and Just Life In this week's conversation, we are full of opinions about pumpkin spice, greeting cards and Facebook Marketplace. We share life updates including Fran going back to school and what she is already learning in the process. We also discuss Colossians 1:9-11 and our memory verse for the month of September.

We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus in our everyday lives while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all. "The fruit of the spirit often comes from pain and discomfort and suffering. It can take a long time to prepare the soil and water the seed. The Lord grows the fruit. It doesn't come from our effort or work." "I want to sit at the feet of Jesus and let him grow what he wants to grow in my life. What do you need to do that requires some discomfort? Don't be afraid of doing hard things!" "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all poweraccording to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience."
