Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode invites you into the peace, freedom, and rest that only Jesus can give. We’re talking about the power of praise, the beauty of thanksgiving, and what it truly means to “come to Him” when we’re weary.

We begin with Philippians 4:4 and the reminder that rejoicing in the Lord is more than a command—it’s a pathway into His presence. Through the story of Paul and Silas, we see how gratitude can open prison doors, shift atmospheres, and literally change the trajectory of a life.

Then we continue our study of Colossians 3, exploring what it means for the word of Christ to dwell in us richly and how thankfulness is meant to flow naturally out of a heart shaped by Scripture.

Finally, we dive into Matthew 11:28–30 and Pastor Charles Stanley’s devotional “Freedom in Christ,” unpacking the true meaning of Jesus’ invitation: to walk beside Him, to rest in Him, and to stop carrying burdens we were never meant to hold alone.

If you’re craving spiritual rest, clarity, freedom, or a reset in your walk with God—this one is for you.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode begins with an invitation to sit with the fullness of God’s blessings — the parts we prayed for and the parts we never expected. As we wrap up our study of John 8, we’re reflecting on what it truly means to walk in the freedom Jesus offers, not just in theory but in our daily decisions, attitudes, and spiritual identity.

We also close out this week’s devotional, “Freedom in Christ” by Pastor Charles Stanley, with a powerful reminder that transformation begins in the mind. Sometimes the very things God answers come with responsibilities, challenges, or growth moments attached — but even in that, His faithfulness holds steady. If you’ve been navigating blessings that feel a little heavier than you anticipated, this episode will meet you with truth, comfort, and encouragement. Jesus didn’t just set you free — He invites you to walk in that freedom with confidence, clarity, and a renewed mind anchored in Him.

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a grounding reminder that freedom in Christ isn’t about doing whatever we want — it’s about living as daughters who are fully known, fully loved, and fully protected by a God who calls us His own. As we continue our study of John 8, Jesus makes it clear that true freedom isn’t found in self-reliance, striving, or independence, but in remaining faithful to His teachings and allowing His truth to shape every part of our lives. We also walk through Day 3 of this week’s “Freedom in Christ” devotional by Pastor Charles Stanley, where we explore how trust, surrender, and obedience lead us into the maximum freedom God always intended for us.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by old habits, overwhelmed by your own decisions, or weighed down by the false version of freedom the world offers, this episode will gently redirect you back to the truth. You belong to the family of God. You are His daughter. And the freedom Jesus purchased for you is deeper, safer, and more life-giving than anything the world promises.
