Our world is obsessed with everything self...Self-care, self-discovery, self-talk and becoming your "best-self".

Join us as we dive into how to bring Jesus into exactly who He created us to be.

If we're being honest, at times it can be tempting to think that the practice of self-control would lead to a boring, mundane life that is no fun at all. But we believe the Bible story offers a totally different idea of self-control and the importance of putting it into action. Join us as we talk to our friend, Morgan Mueller, about how self-control actually breeds freedom and health in our lives and relationships- mentally and emotionally.

If you think of someone who lacks gentleness they are often prideful, easily angered, talk without thinking or feel the need for their love or care of someone to be deserved. I don’t know about you, but those are defiantly not things I want to be known for. I want to be gentle, but sometimes it seems so hard! Come chat with us about how Jesus himself emulated gentleness and how we can practice to do the same in our words and actions.

"Be kind" easier said than done sometimes, right? I often feel sorry for myself, easily get frustrated with others, or grumble about my circumstances or people's intentions in something, and sadly, I don't think I'm alone in that. Instead, imagine a world where we thought more of others than ourselves, where we were willing to be inconvenienced for the benefit of others, and where we weren't treating others well for a pat on the back, but instead from the genuine love and care we have for what God calls good. Join us as we look into what true kindness lived-out looks like. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!

Maybe, even as you see this title, it's already feeling a bit tense. It is for us! Why is patience so hard? If it is having patience with our spouses, our children, co-workers, friends, or even with God, waiting is hard. In a world full of immediate gratification, this one feels hard to fight against in small and big ways. We often want to act quickly, respond harshly, or just make a move, but what if all the Lord wants us to do is slow down, wait and listen? Craving more from Going There the Podcast?

We've talked about eating habits and body image before, and though a tough one, we want to dig a bit deeper. Today we are doing that with Hannah Holzum, registered dietician and retired personal trainer. The struggles of diet culture and holding ourselves to a certain(impossible) physical standard is exhausting and doesn't promote healthy relationships with ourselves; with this conversation, we hope to open up on how we can have healthy relationships with our bodies and food, plus how to talk to children about food, and not putting unhealthy standards and practices onto them.

That battle is on! Working moms vs. stay-at-home moms - who's the best at.... just kidding. Let's stop the competition! Motherhood is a beautiful journey, but it's also challenging; we don't need to pit ourselves against each other. Some moms choose to stay at home, and some choose to work full time; plus, there are many in-between options, all of which we can still serve God and do what's best for our family. Today we challenge you to think about the opposite perspective and find those people, connect and learn from them.

This may be a challenging one! Join us as we deep dive into conversation about deciding to go back to, or find, a church home. There are many reasons you could be looking for a [new]church or trying to go back to a church in this post-COVID era. As moms, it's hard to rally the kids and get everyone ready, but it's also hard to virtually attend church while taking care of the children mid-sermon. You might have gotten hurt by your church or maybe don't know where to start and need a push in the right direction.
Today we look at and challenge why you or some we know might not be attending church. As Christian women, we have a personal relationship with Christ, but we hope to encourage community worship and grow our faith together.

We hate to admit it, but at times mercy doesn't feel like the easiest thing to extend to someone who we don't want to show compassion or forgiveness to. But the reality is, that in Christ, we receive mercy from Him everyday, and this mercy not only changes our future with Him, but it changes our reality today. Join us as we talk with the wise Courtney Doctor to hear more from her about her new book “In View of God’s Mercies” studying the book of Romans.

Whether it’s for financial reasons, moving logistics, or in hopes to “try it before you buy it” more and more couples are living together prior to the commitment of marriage. What does the Bible have to say about this? Is it a sin? In a conversation with Patrick Miller, we unpack the complexities of this issue and challenge one’s thinking in how and why God designed marriage how He did.

Are you someone who thinks the Bible is irrelevant and outdated? If so, we are excited for you to dive into the story of Esther with us. A book of the Bible is filled with broken people, making some dumb decisions, floundering in their emotions, all while trying to do the right things of God. In this conversation with Staci Pastor-King, we begin talking through a few of these themes that we believe we can apply and learn from Esther for our lives today.

We all, in some sense, crave control. Control over our circumstances, our jobs, our children, our spouses, our possessions, or our futures. And it’s so easy to slip into actually believing we have these things or people under control. In this episode, Kay Fitzpatrick shares with us her personal and heart wrenching story of what learning to lose this sense of control has looked like in her life. Time and time again she has truly had to surrender everything to God- opening up her clenched fists to move forward in faith open-handed. Craving more from Going There the Podcast?

Maybe you are a stay-at-home mom, a working mom, a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, an engineer, a social worker, a wife, a stepmom, a friend, or a sister. We all carry many titles, and most likely you’ve worked hard for this title. But how are we supposed to maintain balance between all the titles we may carry at one time? Which one do we pursue and what steps do we take next? Instead of answering that question, maybe the solution is just to sit in the both-and that God calls us into? Maybe it isn’t to have a perfect plan but instead to hold our hands out loosely to led the Lord lead where He may. Pauline Bridgeman shares this wisdom and more in what it has looked like for her to rest in where God has taken her. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!
