Hey Sis Podcast

In today's episode, Jess chats with Ella Nevada, owner of Holy Homes Australia, an Australian boutique Christ-centred wrapping paper business. Ella has an amazing story and shares about: Her experience being the eldest of eight children. How she called off her pending marriage to a man who went on to study at a Benedictine Monastery, and long story short, they got married in the end. How she was fired as a Nurse two weeks after she rejected the C*VID vaccine. How after dabbling in some creative endeavours, she began to design and print her own Christian wrapping paper, that has now blown up into a thriving business that has sustained her family financially in uncertain times.  Ella's obedience to God when life has thrown her hurdles is proof of her unwavering faith and God's constant faithfulness.

In episode 45, we have an honest conversation about seasons of returning to work after having kids and if we believe returning to work for mothers to be biblical. The conversation takes a bit of turn, and we also chat about the reason why mothers go back to work: To cover essentials To pay off debt To be comfortable We talk about the last point especially and how if we are choosing comfort, does that mean we are not trusting God to provide? Let's explore what the Bible says and our opinion about it.

Welcome to episode 43, friends! This week we are chatting all about if Christians should partake in yoga and our thoughts about it. In today's culture, far too many Christian people are nonchalant about things that are acceptable in the world, but not in the Bible. The Bible is very clear about spiritual forces that are at play when we partake in other spiritual practices, like yoga. We also chat about our thoughts on Christian yoga - to do or not to do? Find out by listening to our episode! Our prayer is that as you listen to this episode, you would realise the Father's heart to protect His children from demonic powers, especially found in other cultural practices.

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that should be spoken more about in the church and that is the fear of the Lord. We talk about: What is the fear of the Lord? How the church has taught an unhealthy doctrine of a casual fear of the Lord The consequences of lacking fear of the Lord The difference between the fear of the wrath of the Lord and fear of the Lord for those who love Him How to live with the fear of the Lord daily It's a juicy topic, but a needed one.

In episode 35, we chat all about Christians and anxiety.  The Bible commands us not to fear for everyday of the year (literally 365 times), and yet, Christians still struggle with anxiety, possibly more than ever. Why is this so? Is anxiety a sin? We are going to explore this question, while considering our own struggles with anxiety. We know how debilitating anxiety can be, but Christ came to save us from its stronghold.  We share practical tips to deal with anxiety and talk about our own breakthroughs from it. We pray that those who deal with anxiety find comfort and encouragement from our conversation. And those who don't know what it's like, we encourage to listen also, to get a glimpse into what people with anxiety deal with and how to support them.

In episode 34, we chat with the lovely Jenni Richards, Bella's MIL.  Jenni has been married for over 30 years, has two children and one grandchild (so far) and has been a Paramedic for over 15 years.

Have you ever wondered that if Jesus were sitting across from you drinking coffee (or herbal tea), what He would want you to know? In this solo episode, Jess shares what she thinks Jesus might say to women today.  She narrows down three messages she speculates Jesus would say to us, as women living in western society. Jess explores Jesus' interaction with women in three stories in the Gospels that point out critical messages that He would want us women to know today. When reading the Bible, it is hard to imagine yourself in these stories, but God wants us to see ourselves in those sacred pages. That we would know these truths and apply them to our lives with authenticity and by God's grace. It is my (Jess) hope that you would know that the Bible is timeless and true. That Jesus has wonderful, reassuring truths for women, to remind them of their worth and value.

In this episode, we chat about why Christians should reconsider celebrating Halloween. It is becoming a growing celebration in Australia and already a significant event in the UK and US. So much so that it is engrained into our western culture. Many Christians still partake in Halloween, even if it is just dressing up for fun. But what if we suggest you put aside your cultural reasons and discuss what it says in the Bible about parterning with darkness? Despite what reasons Christians have for celebrating Halloween or dabbling in it at least, we must look to the Bible for the way we conduct ourselves. And while the Bible does not talk about Halloween specifically, there is a lot to say about partnering with dark spiritual forces, that are a play on Halloween. We also talk about our thoughts on Santa and the Easter Bunny and whether or not we should acknowledge them as Christians. We understand that these kind of conversations can be polarising, but our aim is always to point you to Jesus and challenge you to live against the cultural norm, as Jesus so often teaches.

In light of Bella's daughter, Hazel's first birthday next week, we thought it would be fun to share our favourite moments of motherhood this year. It's a special, light-hearted episode as Bella shares about the ups and downs, the expected and unexpected moments of her first year of motherhood.  While Jess shares about her adjustments, joys and lows of the first year of having four children.

We made it to 30 episodes guys! Are you proud of us? Ha! This week, we are talking about theological differences between Christians, particularly between friends. As Christians, there are core beliefs that make up the foundation of our faith, like the resurrection of Jesus, Jesus atoning for our sins, the Trinity, God the all-powerful Creator and so on. However, how about the smaller beliefs that are rooted in tradition or in different denominations of the faith, like baptisms, church leadership, communion/sacraments, interpretation of Scripture and more? How do we address these differences whether in person or online, with grace and humility? How do we have healthy debates about theological topics without acting prideful or bitter? We explore what the Bible has to say about these matters and share our own raw experiences. As sinful humans, we will never 'know it all' and our hope is that listeners will ask God to search their hearts for any wayward thinking that has led to pride or bitterness. Let's be Christians who fight for unity regardless of some theological differences! Let's work together to have healthy discussions and wrestlings about our faith.  We need to set the example as Christians to strive for unity, 'for our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world' (Ephesians 6:12).

Are we overcomplicating sharing the Gospel? Do we live too comfortably to share our testimonies to non-believers? How do we share the Gospel with confidence and conviction without shouting 'repent' on the street corner? In episode 29, we chat about how to simplify evangelism and find organic ways to share the Gospel in every season you find yourself in. Jesus calls us to 'make disciples of all nations' (Matthew 28:19), but what does that look like on a practical level? We encourage mothers, single women, women who work, women who stay at home, to make sharing the Gospel part of your every day life and how to do it in a way that's not cringey or complicated.

In episode 28, Bella and Jess chat about an unpopular topic among women; lust. Yes, we women struggle with lust too, whether we want to believe it or not. But for women, it can be much deeper than just a physical attraction to men. Jess and Bella talk about their own struggles with lust, what the Bible says about lust and how we can manage it so that it doesn't lead to sin. We as women need to speak more about these conversations because they are something we all struggle with at one point or another. It's important to bring sin to light so that it doesn't stay lurking in the dark and something to live in shame by.
