The holiday season is beautiful… but let’s be honest—it’s busy.Between shopping, cooking, planning gatherings, wrapping gifts, managing the kids’ schedules, and trying to hold everything together, many of us feel overwhelmed long before Christmas arrives.But Jesus offers us something we often forget to receive…REST.Not just a nap (though we love those ).But soul-deep rest that steadies our hearts even in the middle of the rush.In today’s episode we dig into Matthew 11:28–30, where Jesus invites:“Come unto me… and I will give you rest.”Who was He talking to?Everyday people. Tired people. Discouraged people. People just trying to hold it all together.…sounds a lot like us in December.Join us today as we break down what real rest looks like using the acronym R.E.S.T. and be reminded that this season isn’t about rushing…It’s about resting in the One who renews our souls.God Bless from Our Hearts to Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.

Last week we talked about what true worship really means. But before we can worship God in the way He desires, we must first grasp how wonderful and awe-inspiring He truly is. This week, we’re diving deep into the wonder of God — the God of miracles, the God who parts seas, the God whose power, presence, and wisdom stretch farther than our minds can grasp. The God who is holy, sovereign, faithful, merciful, unchanging, and good… always good. We walk through 10 wonder-filled attributes of God that help us see why He is worthy of all honor, praise, and worship — not just at Christmas, but every single day. When we slow down long enough to remember who God is, it changes how we worship Him through the holiday season — and through every season of life.If we can grasp even a glimpse of His wonder, we’ll find rest in His goodness. Listen to Episode 2 now and join us as we make this Christmas a season of worship — not rushing.God Bless From Our Hearts to Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.

This week we’re continuing our Christmas series by slowing down and shifting our eyes back to what this season is truly about—worshipping our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. When you hear the word worship, what comes to mind? Music? Lifting our hands? While worship through song is beautiful, today we’re diving deeper into what true, wholehearted worship really means.In this episode we talk about:  What it means to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:23–24)  How our worship should be like frankincense—sweet, sincere, and able to withstand the fire  Why worship is more than a moment... it’s a lifestyle  And yes—how music becomes meaningful worship when our hearts are right before HimChristmas gets busy, loud, and rushed. But if we’re not careful, we’ll miss the One we’re meant to celebrate. Let’s make this a season of adoration, not acceleration. A season of worship, not weariness.Listen now & let’s make Christmas a season of true worship.God Bless From Our Hearts to Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.

This week, we’re continuing our 4-part series, The 4 G’s to Staying Focused on Christ! In the first two episodes, we talked about how we should Grow in our walk with the Lord and Guard our hearts from the things that pull us away from Him.But today, we’re shifting our focus to what we should Guide our hearts toward — the good, the holy, and the life-giving things that reflect the heart of Jesus. Just like good parenting isn’t only about saying “no,” our faith isn’t just about avoiding sin — it’s about choosing what’s better. Paul reminds us in Colossians 3:10–16 to put on the new man — to clothe ourselves in compassion, kindness, forgiveness, love, peace, and gratitude. When we do this, our lives begin to look more like Jesus — full of purpose, peace, and joy.Tune in now to hear the full message and be encouraged to “put on the new man” this week!God Bless from Our Hearts to Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.

This week we’re diving deeper into Colossians 3 and learning how to grow by putting to death the habits and attitudes that pull our hearts away from Jesus. Growth isn’t perfection — it’s daily surrender. One choice, one moment, one scripture at a time.Let’s fix our minds on things above and guard our hearts as we grow in Him. Join us today as we dive into verses 5-9 of Colossians 3.God Bless From Our Hearts To Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.

In this new series, The 4 G’s to Staying Focused on Christ — Grow, Guard, Guide, and Give Thanks — we’re diving into Colossians 3 and learning what it truly means to set our hearts on things above.Paul reminds us that when we are risen with Christ, our focus should shift from the temporary things of this world to the eternal truth of Jesus. As we continue our journey of being planted, rooted, and grounded in Him, we’re reminded that spiritual growth begins when we fix our eyes on Christ — not our phones, our work, or our schedules.This episode challenges us to examine where our attention really is. Are social media, busyness, or worldly goals stealing our focus? We’ll explore how distractions lead to spiritual drift and how returning our gaze to Jesus restores peace, purpose, and power.Through Paul’s encouragement, real-life statistics, and timeless truth, we’ll discover that when Jesus becomes our life — not just a part of it — everything else finds its rightful place around Him.Let this episode inspire you to realign your focus, grow in your walk with the Lord, and live each day with eternity in mind.

In today’s episode we are diving deep into one of life’s biggest questions: “How can we experience the goodness of God when life itself isn’t always good?”We’ve all faced seasons of hardship—moments when trials feel bigger than our faith, when the waiting is long, when pain feels unbearable, or when we’ve fallen short ourselves. But through the life of David, we’re reminded that God’s goodness is constant, even when circumstances aren’t.David faced giants, wilderness seasons, deep personal loss, and even the consequences of his own sin—yet through it all, he remained a man after God’s heart. His story gives us a practical roadmap for walking in the goodness of God, no matter what life looks like.We hope you enjoy this episode and don’t forget to share with your family and friends!

Today is the final episode of our Planted, Rooted, and Grounded series. The main lesson today is that being grounded in Christ goes beyond salvation, it’s growth that helps us become immovable in our faith. Just as deep roots anchor a tree through storms, our strength comes not from circumstances but from Christ, whose power is made perfect in weakness. Grounding happens as we stay in God’s Word, cultivate a receptive heart, and mature in faith until we bear fruit and plant seeds in others. When we are planted, rooted, and grounded in Jesus, we can endure trials, resist deception, and live fruitful lives that honor God and impact the world.We hope this lesson encourages you to become grounded in your faith!God Bless From Our Hearts to Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.

In today’s episode we will be covering the entirety of James chapter 3 discussing the influence of our words. Our words have the power to build up or tear down and ultimately what’s in our hearts will be reflected in our words.If our hearts are full of envy, bitterness or strife we’ll be talking about people or engaging in conversations that do not edify the Lord or our churches but if our hearts are full of love and if we are seeking biblical wisdom our conversations will be pure and honest and uplifting to one another. Think about how you’re using your words and the conversations you are engaging in - Remember Paul likens our tongues to a raging fire just one word or one wrong conversation and you can cause damage that is unrepairable. In the same sense one word or conversation can spark a revival, a word of encouragement can pull a friend out of the pit and an honest conversation could save a persons soul. Are you choosing to speak life with your words or are you causing destruction? After all God has called us to build bridges not walls!Listen now for the full teaching!God Bless From Our Hearts to Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.

Happy Tuesday PWG Fam! We are excited to be wrapping up chapter 2 of James today specifically looking at verses 14-26. In this chapter James is conveying the importance of works in your life if you are a saved Christian.So many people take verses within this chapter out of context to back up their need for a “works based” salvation but it’s important to note the context of the entire book of James. We mentioned this in the first episode in this series but James is writing this entire book to the church, in other words to saved Christians. This entire book is about Christian practices so he’s not trying to convert people to Christianity he’s trying to teach saved Christians what should be evident in their life if they have truly trusted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.In writing to the saved Christian James is saying if you have true faith, true saving faith, works will be evident in your life. In other words you will be serving the Lord and there will be fruits of your labor.Listen now for the full teaching you don’t want to miss this one!

Have you known people that just hang around certain people for the status or notoriety it gives them? What about at church, have certain members been treated differently than others because of their societal status? Showing favoritism to some while neglecting others has been an issue since the beginning of time and it’s what James will be addressing in the lesson we are teaching today.We will be diving into chapter 2 today looking at verses 1-12. We have all been guilty of showing favoritism from time to time but we hope by the end of this lesson that you’ll realize we are all just sinners saved by grace. Nobody is above anybody else and while we may differ in our economic status, race, social position etc. we all have common ground when it comes to the gospel!Let’s all start living out the 2 greatest commandments that have been given to us:  Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.We hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for supporting us and the podcast!

We are so excited to be wrapping up James chapter 1 today. Last week we discussed temptations and what happens when we give into temptation. Today we are going to be looking at 5 different lessons James gives us in verses 19-27 of chapter 1 that will help us fight off temptations.We know if you can grasp all 5 of these lessons and commit them to memory when temptations strike, you’ll be able to say not today satan!Listen now for the full teaching!God Bless from Our Hearts to Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.

Today we’re going to be looking at what temptations are, where they come from and how we’re tempted. Just as trials have no respect of persons temptations will also come to everyone which is why it’s so important to be spiritually prepared at all times.The most important thing to remember in this lesson is that God will never tempt you with sin. While temptation is the devil’s playground how we respond to temptation is a personal choice that we make on our own. It’s easy to blame others for the sin in our life but we must remember we have our own free will and we are ultimately responsible for every decision we make.We hope this lesson is an encouragement to you to stay close to the Lord at all times so when the devil comes seeking to devour, you’re able to withstand his temptations.God Bless from Our Hearts to Yours,Ashlee & Tabitha_________Make sure to follow along with us using the links below…InstagramFacebookWebsiteYouTubeAffiliate Links:Jules & James (10% off with code Purposeful)Elly and Grace - (10% off with code purposefulwomenofgod)Kingfolk Co.
