Sisters on Purpose

Family is one of the greatest gifts God gives us — but it also requires intentional effort, grace, and courage to protect it. In this episode, we explore what it means to fight for your family through a biblical lens, the necessity to create healthy boundaries while still pursuing relationships, and when it’s necessary to disrupt comfort to preserve what matters most. We talk about: God’s intention for family The choice to fight for not with family How to become unoffendable The power of prayer over family The importance of truth and confrontation in healing brokenness Realigning priorities to protect unity and purpose Family is worth fighting for — not through control or fear, but through love, truth, and commitment. Sometimes fighting for family means setting boundaries, seeking reconciliation, and trusting God’s plan through the discomfort.  Join us on this journey as we navigate life together, embracing every moment with faith and determination.

Grief is not a season we schedule, and it doesn’t always look like tears. Sometimes it shows up in silence, fatigue, or unexpected anger. Other times, it weaves itself into moments of joy, laughter, and memory. In this honest and tender episode, we open up about what it really means to walk through grief, how it lingers, surprises, reshapes us, and lives alongside joy. We talk about the grief that comes with death, but also the subtler griefs we don’t always name, like the loss of relationships, unexpected diagnoses, or letting go of what once was. You’ll hear how we’ve learned (and are still learning) to hold space for both sorrow and joy, how our faith anchors us in the middle of it, and why sisterhood makes all the difference. We also share what to do, and what not to do, when someone you love is grieving. Sometimes the best gift is not the perfect words, but your quiet presence, steady love, and the willingness to simply sit beside their pain. Listen now and be reminded: You don’t have to choose between grief and joy. God can hold both, and so can we.

Let’s talk about the beauty, boundaries, and real purpose of Sister Weekend. In this episode, we’re sharing what Sister Weekend truly is, and what it’s not. It’s more than a getaway. It’s more than matching shirts and shared stories. It’s an intentional pause in our year where we reconnect, refocus, and remind each other that we don’t have to navigate life alone.

Whether you’ve been doing sister weekends for years or are thinking about planning your first one, this conversation will inspire you to gather the women in your life with purpose, presence, and grace. Tune in as we reflect on how sacred this time is, why we fiercely protect it, and how it continues to shape our journey of faith, family, and intentional sisterhood. 🎧 Listen now and get inspired to create your own version of Sister Weekend—biological sisters or not.

In this episode, we talk to Theresa about her newly released Bible study, “The Posture of Victory: Finding True Peace Amidst Our Everyday Battles.” As Christians, we are anointed with power to walk in victory in our everyday lives, relationships, and callings. While we understand this, in theory, the challenge lies in how we walk in victory through the valleys where we often feel defeated by overwhelm, anxiety, depression, or betrayal. Based on Psalm 63, this six-week study addresses how we can achieve peace through Christ’s victory in our everyday battles and come out on the winning side. Six spiritual postures provide the framework for adhering to the One who upholds us through the wilderness and leads us to an abundant life in Christ. Experience Psalm 63 like never before, and learn how David positioned himself for victory in the face of heartbreaking opposition. This study will equip you to confidently proclaim your victory and thrive in your God-given anointing.
