What if you gave God one intentional hour a week? Not another hour of scrolling. Not another hour trying to keep up with everything and everyone. Just intentional time in Scripture, prayer, and community with women who want to know Jesus more. More than 2,000 women have said yes to Bible Study in Gather the Gals Ministry, and this episode is the heart behind why I keep building it. Gather the Gals was never supposed to be about having the perfect Bible study routine or knowing all the right answers. I wanted to create the kind of community I desperately needed myself: real women, real life, real conversations, and Jesus at the center of it all. In this episode, we're talking about why biblical community matters, what happens when we stop comparing our walk with Jesus to everyone else's, and how obedience often begins with one really small yes. You don't have to have hours every day. You don't have to know your Bible cover to cover. You don't have to have your life together. You just have to be willing to show up. Because success isn't looking like the woman beside you. It isn't followers, money, accomplishments, or having a picture perfect life. Success is knowing Jesus, following Him, making disciples, and faithfully using what He's placed in your hands. And sometimes that starts with something as simple as setting aside one hour and saying: “Jesus, I'm here. Teach me.” 🤎 A question to sit with this week: What small yes is God putting in front of me right now? 💕 Ready to find your people and grow deeper in Jesus?

We make the plans, carry the mental load, anticipate everyone's needs, and try to make sure everything, and everyone is okay. But what happens when we can't figure it out? In this episode, we're talking about returning to childlike faith and learning to trust our Heavenly Father the way our children trust us. I'm sharing a simple moment from a rainy Texas drive with my kids that completely changed the way I thought about trust. While I was watching the road, thinking ahead, and figuring out how to get us home safely, my kids weren't worried about any of it. They trusted the person driving. And maybe that's exactly what some of us need to remember right now. Jesus isn't asking us to know every turn in the road. He isn't asking us to figure out exactly how the story ends before we trust Him. He's asking us to trust the Father who already sees the entire road. We're talking about what Jesus meant when He told us to become like little children, why surrender feels so difficult when we're used to being in control, and how to trust God's “no,” “not yet,” and “I have something different” answers. Because childlike faith isn't ignorance. It's confident dependence on a Father you know is good. You don't have to figure everything out. You don't have to know what happens next. And you don't have to carry tomorrow today. You just get to trust the One who already knows. Scripture: Matthew 18:2–4, Proverbs 3:5–6 & Romans 8:28 🤎 A question to sit with this week: What area of my life am I saying I trust God with while still trying to control the outcome? And one more: If I truly believed my Father could see what I can't see, what would I finally be willing to release? 🙏 Prayer: Father, restore our childlike faith. Teach us to trust You before we understand You. Help us loosen our grip on the things we've been trying to control and remind us that we don't have to know everything to know that You are good. Amen. 💕 Looking for Bible study and Christian community?

You thought the prayer would have been answered. The door would have opened. The dream would have grown. The situation would have changed. But instead… you're still waiting. In this episode, I’m sharing the story of a flower I planted that took two years to finally bloom and the reminder God gave me through it: Just because you can't see growth doesn't mean nothing is growing. Some seasons feel like the wilderness. They're quiet. Uncomfortable. Lonely. And when nothing seems to be changing, it can be easy to assume God isn't moving. But what if He's doing some of His deepest work under the surface? We're talking about how to keep trusting God when life isn't unfolding the way you planned, how to recognize the distractions that try to steal your confidence and joy, and why your weakness does not disqualify you from being used by God. Maybe you don't need to dig up what God planted just because it hasn't bloomed yet. Maybe you need to keep watering it. Keep praying. Keep showing up. Keep obeying. Keep believing that God is working—even here. Because the wilderness isn't proof that God has forgotten you. And a season that looks unproductive to you may be producing something you'll need for where He's taking you next. Scripture: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 🌸 A question to sit with this week: What have I been tempted to give up on simply because I haven't seen it bloom yet? And ask yourself: What might God be growing beneath the surface of this waiting season? 💕 Looking for women to grow in Jesus with?
