New Girl Culture

In this episode of New Girl Culture, Molly and Emily talk about the virtue of love - and how being formed by God’s love can literally rewire the way we think, respond, and live. They unpack why fear is often the root of so many of love’s opposites, how culture can subtly shape us through anxiety and performance, and what it looks like to choose love as our formation.Reading 1 Corinthians 13, they share personal stories of fear and healing, and explore practical ways to “weed” unhealthy thought patterns, renew the mind, and live with more patience, gentleness, and courage.

In today’s episode, we’re pressing pause on our Virtue Series to talk about something we’ve both been processing: how to understand the times we’re living in without getting swept into fear, noise, or constant commentary. We talk about staying anchored in Jesus, resisting the pressure to react, and learning the difference between discernment and a critical spirit. We also walk through the Fruit of the Spirit, why daily fruit requires daily bread, and how formation + discipleship build stability in unstable times.

Welcome back to New Girl Culture - and yes, we’re saying Happy New Year a little late. After a much-needed reset, Molly and Emily kick off 2026 with a foundational conversation: identity.Together, they unpack the difference between an outside-in identity shaped by culture (curation, reinvention, performance, branding) and an inside-out identity formed in Christ. They talk honestly about how achievement-based validation, insecurity, and comparison hijack the heart - and how freedom begins when identity is received, not constructed.This episode also weaves in their “word of the year” themes - Rejoice and Eternity - and what it looks like to store up what matters, stay rooted as daughters of the King, and let God form lasting character. You’ll leave encouraged to make space for Holy Spirit, listen for what God speaks over you, and begin building from the only foundation that won’t shake.
