Description

Hey Sis! 🎙️


Today’s episode is a reminder that God created us for fellowship, accountability, and encouragement in the body of Christ. We’re continuing our scripture study in Hebrews 10:23-25, reflecting on why gathering with other believers strengthens our faith and how God calls us to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” We also step into Day 4 of Find Your People by Jennie Allen, exploring what it means to belong in a world where independence is often valued over community.


Together we’ll talk about the reality that people will disappoint us, but God never will—and how shifting our expectations back to Him allows us to see our friendships with new eyes. You’ll hear personal stories about the different roles friends play in our lives, the freedom that comes when we release unhealthy expectations, and the courage it takes to step into fellowship again after hurt.


If you’ve ever felt alone in your spiritual walk, longed for true mentorship, or questioned where you belong, this conversation will encourage your heart to keep showing up for the relationships God has placed in your life. Let’s remember together: He who promised is faithful, and He has designed us to grow best in community.
