Phylicia Masonheimer: Every Woman A Theologian | Episode 171 Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This episode, we are chatting about an upcoming book to help equip women to speak more plainly about the Gospel: Everyone Woman a Theologian. Jess and special guest, Phylicia Masonheimer, break down theology before the book hits the shelves. Phylicia Masonheimer is multi-missional: the founder of the ministry Everyone Woman A Theologian, a traditional writer, podcast host, coffee brand guru, foster care sponsor and leader of the annual women’s theology conference, Verity.

Her new book Everyone Woman a Theologianhelps make what she learned in college and seminary available for all women to equip them to be confident in talking about the Gospel to others in their communities.

We hope this episode encourages you in wanting to know God more intimately because if we truly love Him, we want to know what He says about things in the Bible - not just knowing His character. Preorder Phylicia’s new book and pick up a copy to dive into theology more for yourself!

He is mighty in you. Let’s get in the boat today, friends.

How do I start over? | Episode 167 Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. In this week’s episode, we are encouraging you with extra grace if you’re feeling the Spirit tugging at your heart: How do I start over? Our gal and GATG team member, Henslee, is providing wisdom and grace in seasons of pivoting and change.

We are always going to mess up and sin - that’s the truth of humanity, yet we cannot forget the grace that lives here too. Starting over doesn’t mean starting from scratch. There’s so much to learn about where we’ve been, so we can take empowered steps forward again.

No matter your season, we pray we can find joy and gladness in every single day that the Lord has made and remember that His mercies are new every single morning to start over.

He is mighty in you.

How do I balance work and rest? | Episode 166 Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. In this week’s episode, we are tackling a necessary question as we march on mission: How do I balance work and rest? Jess and GATG team member, Anna, sit down and strategize on how we can hold work and rest in balance with one another.

This is a struggle for most women and changes each season of our lives. If we are living with a kingdom perspective, we can see that we work out of a place of rest and not the other way around; and that’s good news, friends!

We are women who get to work and get to rest in the name of Jesus. Rest is not lazy and is so productive for our souls. May we prayerfully be in tune with the Holy Spirit inside of us to pay attention to our own places of fatigue, to figure out what kind of exhausted we are and to try to rest at those places to move the kingdom forward. Amen?

He is mighty in you.

Ten Mistakes Women Make in the New Year | Episode 165 Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to join in on conversations you’re already having. In this week’s episode, we are pausing at the beginning of the year to chat about: Ten Mistakes Women Make in the New Year. Jess and GATG team member, Caroline, sit down and highlight common mistakes Christian women tackle during this goal-setting season.

While this may seem critical, we are shame off you girls. And because your year matters, we do want to highlight ten mistakes Christian women make in the new year. The glorious thing? Each day brings new mercies and we can start over right now.

We do not want to live under the oppression of the lie that everything is our responsibility and that all our growth, goodness, abundance, healing, freedom and fruit in our lives is up to us. We grow when we abide on the vine. So let’s take a look at these common errors, find a trusted sister or friend, and let’s encourage each other to keep going!

He is mighty in you.

New Year, New Me: Really? | Episode 164 Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. 2023 is here, and we are wrestling with this common question: New Year, New Me: Really? Jess and GATG team member, Emily, sit down and challenge the idea of becoming new people during the new year, when our true newness comes from the blood of Jesus.

We often listen to the lie from the enemy of our souls that we need to be reinvented and become more like the people around us, and friends, that’s just not true. The calendar page has turned, and we can still live into the agreements God has already spoken over our lives yesterday, today and forever.

For our friends who feel they are too emotional or are not enough, who feel they don’t have their life under control or want to be able to let go more, who feel behind or going too fast - in the name of Jesus, who He made you to be is intentional and beautiful. Let’s not “New Year, New You” ourselves out of who God made us to be, the weaknesses that His power is going to be made perfect in.

He is mighty in you.

How can I prepare for what’s next? | Episode 163 Dec 15, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. We are inviting you to dream of 2023 (after we’ve processed the past year) in this week’s episode: How do I prepare for what’s next? Jess and GATG team member, Caroline, sit down and provide compelling invitations for the new year through thinking about:

Vision - where do I want to be a year from now? What do you want the world to look like 100 years after you’re gone?
Agreement - what parts of your God-given identity do you really want to step into and live out in the year to come?
Rhythms - what are the daily/weekly/monthly rhythms that you want to engage in that help you agree with the God-given vision for your life?
Follow Up - when are you going to ask these questions again? What are you going to do when everything doesn’t go well?

We are taking a different approach to goal setting this year, and are focusing on grounding our goals in what really matters, agreeing with who God has made you to be and choosing daily/weekly/monthly rhythms that help you agree with the God-given vision for your life. If your goals fall short or you fall out of rhythm, remember that grace lies in abundance there too.

While January 1 is a time to dream big, it’s not the only fresh start we get as women on mission - the Lord’s mercy is new every morning. This is good news. We’re free to follow up, keep going and try again.

Come along on this new journey with us by downloading the Four Invitations in PDF to help guide your preparation before January gets here. Let’s get to writing, goal setting and dreaming of all God is going to do in 2023.

He is mighty in you.

How do I process this past year? | Episode 162 Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to the Go + Tell Gals Podcast! This season on the podcast, we want to answer the questions you’re already asking. In this episode, before we start dreaming and writing goals for the upcoming new year, we are taking a step back to reflect on 2022: How do I process this past year? Jess and GATG team member, Anna, sit down and unpack the hills and valleys of the past year using the prompts:

Count the fruit - thanking God for what He did this year
What didn’t work this year? What didn’t go as you hoped or planned?
What did work and why?
What can you change? What can’t you change?

Whether it's in conversation with a loved one or through prayerfully writing it all down in a journal, we encourage you to take time to reflect on everything God orchestrated this past year. Some of these questions are more lighthearted than others, but we believe it’s important to look back and see where we’ve been before goal setting for the year to come.

Let’s look back and see the ways God moved over the last months. Let’s ask the hard questions and share in the struggles, the triumphs and the victories from this past year. Let’s celebrate where we’ve been so we can pray and dream about where we’re going.

He is mighty in you.
