Ep. 079 - We're sharing our journey of facing intense hate for our belief in Christ and unwavering stance on God's Word. It's been a CRAZY journey over the past eight years. We never could have anticipated the immense pushback we'd receive as a result for standing on biblical truth.

How Do I Know If He's The One? May 16, 2022

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 077 - Have you ever wondered anything like this: “How will I know when I meet my future husband?” Or, “How will I know if he’s the one I should marry?” Or, “What signs should I look for to figure out who the one is?!”

These are popular questions. Chances are, you’ve probably asked some of them yourself. Trying to “figure out the ONE” is something we’ve asked ourselves over the years too.

However, instead of looking for a magic sign or an overwhelming feeling, we’ve discovered a better way to go about this. We’ve come up with several practical and helpful questions for discerning “the one.”

Dear Single Sister, don't SETTLE for a guy who doesn't truly LOVE God May 02, 2022

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 075 - Don’t settle for a guy who isn’t interested in honoring God with his life. No matter how cute or funny he is, it’s not worth it in the end. Settling is never worth it.

Don’t lower the bar for a guy who’s cute and charming, but lacks godly character and a genuine love for God.⁣

⁣Don’t allow yourself to fall for a guy who makes you laugh, but cares only for himself. Don’t stay with a guy who says he loves you, but constantly pressures you to compromise. ⁣As satisfying as it might feel in the moment to be in a romantic relationship, the infatuation won’t last forever. ⁣

Wait for a man who will push you closer to Christ, rather than away.

Our Sister's Terrifying Escape From Ukraine and the Birth Of Her Baby with Ellissa Petrenko Apr 25, 2022

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 074 - It was a terrifying day for everyone in the country of Ukraine. The people of Ukraine woke up very early to radio stations and TV channels announcing that Russia had invaded their beloved homeland. Our sister woke up to sounds of bombing not far from her house. It was (and is) a literal nightmare.
We have the honor of hearing from our sister, Ellissa Petrenko, for her very first interview about that terrifying day (and the days that followed). Listen as she shares the five day journey of trying to escape the country, all while being nine months pregnant.
This is also a great reminder to continue praying for all the people of Ukraine. Pray first and foremost that they would come to know Jesus in a personal way.

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 073 - Guy drama is a HUGE issue for many women. It can quite literally tear good friendships apart. Women who were once the best of friends end up going their separate ways... over a guy! Kristen and Bethany are no strangers to the drama of who-likes-who and the comparison that plagues many friendships.
In today's episode, they are going to unpack how to focus on and live for what truly matters. You don't have to let the good (or bad) going on in other peoples lives to ruin yours. You can thrive EVEN if your life isn't going the way that you wanted it to.
Let's dig into God's Word and figure out how to live fully for Christ, even when it's hard.

Bethany's Story of Miscarriage and Loss over the Past Year Apr 11, 2022

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 072 - It’s been a long year. I (Bethany) never imagined I’d be sharing a story like this one. I knew miscarriages could be a possibility, but I never imagined I would have three back-to-back-to-back.

My faith has been challenged in new ways. My relationship with my sweet husband has grown and deepened because of these losses.

I know God is good. I know He has a plan. I trust Him.
I don’t know what the future holds. I don’t know why I’m having these miscarriages. I don’t know the answer. But, I'm researching. I'm seeing a great Dr. I'm taking all the steps forward to try and figure this out.

Learn how to TRUST God with me. Learn how to believe that He is GOOD even in the midst of the hard. Let's unpack what it looks like to find joy in the Lord in the midst of loss.

My Unexpected Path Toward Marriage Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

Send a text

Ep. 071 - Imagine walking into a church and standing a few feet away from your future husband WITHOUT realizing it. This is Bethany's story. In 2010 she walked into a small church having NO idea she was about to meet her future husband. It would be years before God would bring them together.
During those years of her knowing David, but having no idea he was her future husband, Bethany struggled with her singleness. She struggled to trust God.
If you're in a season of waiting, this episode is for you. Join us as we uncover the purpose of each of our lives and unpack what it takes to truly thrive right where God has you.
