Going There in Conversations with Christian Women

Join us as we explore the tension between fear and security, and how misunderstandings about God’s love often lead us toward a skewed version of this belief. In this conversation we unpack the good news of the gospel—that God’s love is both unconditional and transformative. We talk honestly about digging up past wounds and working through them so we can begin to experience His love in a deeper, healthier, truer way.

You've accept Jesus as your Savior and now what? How are you growing and how are you changing? Maybe you feel like God already did all of the work so there's no need for you to change, or maybe you feel like you must check the items off of a list to "be a good Christian". Whatever way you think about it, we are here to discuss how the gospel truth takes our comfort and transforms it into becoming more like Christ.

In a world that tells us partial obedience is “good enough,” we’re digging in to what Scripture says and why obedience isn’t about rules—it’s about relationship.

Why is it so hard to say no, set boundaries, or disappoint people—even when we know what God is calling us to do? In this episode we’re diving into the struggle of people pleasing and the tension between seeking approval from others and honoring God. We unpack the heart behind approval-seeking, how it quietly shapes our decisions, and what Scripture says about living a life that pleases God.

Life rarely comes together the way we expect. Having hope in that confusion can feel messy, fragile, and unfinished—and that’s exactly where it becomes real. In this conversation, Kirby Kelly shares the unfolding of her life and what impacted her learning to have confident hope. A hope that is not wishful, but proven and secure. We get honest about faith in hard seasons, healing that takes time, and what it looks like to keep showing up when hope feels thin. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!
