Building on Episode #15s "Who Do You Think You Are?" This week we dive into what happens when insecurity comes knocking? We take a step back and examine what is insecurity (literally what the dictionary defines it as). We reveal our most vulnerable areas where insecurity creeps in, and finally discuss how we deal with insecurity (a.k.a kick it out of our mind!)
If your struggling with areas of insecurity in any aspect of your life and want to tips on how we have leanred to work through it then this episode is for you!
Just know you are not alone, and we are praying for you to find your God -given purpose and identity! Insecurity is a joy thief and the more we recognize it the better we get at kicking it out!
Love you all !
Join us this week as we walk through a Sweet 'N Spicy Chicks highlight review of the controversial film adaptation of Where the Crawdads Sing!
The story is set in the 1960s Marshlands of North Carolina and introduces us to Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood isolated from her community for being "white trash." Kya ultimately falls in love with two young men from her town, but when one of them is found murdered, she is immediately cast as the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what actually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the secrets that lay within the marsh!
This story is insane we had so much fun talking through the good, the bad, and funny!
We love you all, and don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on Apple/Spotify podcasts!

From pretending, to masking, to people-pleasing your way through your search for identity .. you name it and we GET REAL with it this week! Finally we close with how and who (the one and only O.G. Jesus) we draw our identity from, and the road we took to get there. Spoiler Alert .. we are still on the journey, but we close with feeling authentic and comfortable knowing who you are!
