Hey Sis Podcast21: More Than A Body - What It Means To Be The Temple Of The Holy SpiritIn episode 21, we are chatting all about what it means to be the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." What does this mean? How can we live our lives as Temples of the Holy Spirit in a practical sense? What does that mean as women of God? We will b...2025-07-231h 07
Hey Sis Podcast20: What Our Quiet Time with Jesus Looks Like Right NowWe made it to 20 episodes, friends! Thanks for coming along for the ride with us! We wanted to share what our 'quiet' time with Jesus looks like right now and what it looked like pre-kids. We use the term 'quiet' very loosely, because if you're a parent, there's rarely a time when it's quiet!! We talk about some practical ways we try to get our quiet time in, what we do when quiet time doesn't look like the way we want and how we practice a rhythm of abiding in Christ every single day. 2025-07-151h 05
Hey Sis Podcast19: God's Standard of Beauty in a Filtered WorldThis week we are exploring what God's standard of beauty is versus the world's version of beauty. How can we view beauty the way God does? What is the difference between what God calls beautiful compared to what the world calls beautiful? How can we embrace our beauty without making it an idol in our lives? And how can we as Christians stop giving in to all the beauty trends, that fade, and start being the beauty trend-setters? We chat about all of this and more in episode 19! 2025-07-081h 13
Hey Sis Podcast18: Why Gentle Parenting is Fundamentally UnbiblicalIn episode 18, we are exploring how we as Christians should approach the gentle parenting philosophy from a biblical standpoint. We want to make it clear that we are not against the entire philosophy of gentle parenting, there are some great aspects to it. However, the Bible has a lot to say about parenting, and many aspects of gentle parenting do not align. We explore four ways gentle parenting does not align with God's Word and how we as Christian parents should discern from the Holy Spirit how to parent biblically in today's culture. ...2025-07-0158 min

Hey Sis Podcast15: A Guide to Finding a Church and the Red Flags To Look For This week, we are turning up the heat (again) and sharing about red flags (and green!) to look for in a church. We should be in a church. We should be a part of a church. We ARE the church. But what does a biblical church look like? There is no such thing as a perfect church: we are ALL sinners. But, there are churches that do not reflect what a good, Christ-centred, Bible-focused church should have. If you are a new Christian, you may find this episode to be a helpful guide. And if you're a seasoned Christian and a pa...2025-06-121h 19
