BSAG GCC Ladies Podcast
Welcome to Be Still and Grow, the GCC Ladies Podcast.
We love Jesus, the Word, and friendship. Join hosts Katherine, Heather and Nicole, for a good time and biblically sound discussion as they talk through real-life issues and theological topics. Come, sit at the table with us.
In this episode of Be Still and Grow, we’re talking about what it means to mentor children with love, patience, and purpose.
Whether you're a parent, teacher, big sibling, or simply someone who cares, your presence can shape a child’s future in powerful ways. We’ll share simple truths, encouragement, and Godly wisdom on how to show up for the next generation — planting seeds of faith, confidence, and kindness.
You don’t have to be perfect to make a difference. You just have to be present.

On this episode of Be Still and Grow, we dive into the heart of stewardship—not just about finances, but about faithfully managing everything God has entrusted to us. From our time and talents to our relationships and resources, we’re called to reflect His character through how we care, give, and serve. When we surrender control and steward well, we partner with God in something greater than ourselves. Let’s pause, reflect, and grow deeper in trust and purpose.
In this episode of Be Still and Grow, we dive into the inevitable — change. Whether you're moving to a new city, shifting careers, or navigating a personal transformation, life’s seasons of change can feel overwhelming. Join us as we explore how to stay grounded, embrace uncertainty, and find growth in the midst of transition. With practical insights and heartfelt reflection, this episode offers encouragement and tools to help you not just survive, but thrive wherever life takes you.
