So Good Sisterhood

In this week’s episode, Pastor Julie is joined by her favorite guest, Pastor Todd! This is a powerful and personal conversation about how God uses every season of life to shape and strengthen us. We also get a little peek into this season of their lives as grandparents! If you’ve ever felt stuck in a season, distant from God, or tempted to just “get through” what you’re facing, this conversation will shift your perspective and remind you: God isn’t wasting this season—and neither should you. 💛Subscribe to Shownotes Plus for Discussion Questions, Extra Resources, and More!Learn More About Sisterhood© 2022 Be Essential Songs (BMI) / Jord A Lil Music (BMI) / Doejones20 (BMI) (admin at EssentialMusicPublishing.com).

In this week’s episode, Pastor Julie sits down with pastor, author, leader, and friend of the podcast Charlotte Gambill for a powerful and perspective-shifting conversation about stepping into the “more” that God has for your life. Together, they unpack what it really means to live fully surrendered; not just asking God to fill our “cup,” but becoming vessels He can pour through. This conversation dives into the tension between control and surrender, comfort and courage, and why the very thing we’re holding onto might be the thing limiting what God wants to do. It’s the kind of episode that will stretch your thinking, deepen your faith, and leave you asking bigger, bolder prayers. 💛Subscribe to Shownotes Plus for Discussion Questions, Extra Resources, and More!Learn More About Sisterhood© 2022 Be Essential Songs (BMI) / Jord A Lil Music (BMI) / Doejones20 (BMI) (admin at EssentialMusicPublishing.com).

Julie and Holly swap stories—from awkward early church planting days to Holly’s journey into an unexpected hobby…karate! Along the way, Holly shares honestly what it looks like to keep showing up when life gets hard. It’s the kind of conversation that will make you laugh, nod your head in agreement, and walk away feeling both encouraged and challenged to stay the course. 💛Subscribe to Shownotes Plus for Discussion Questions, Extra Resources, and More!Learn More About Sisterhood© 2022 Be Essential Songs (BMI) / Jord A Lil Music (BMI) / Doejones20 (BMI) (admin at EssentialMusicPublishing.com).

We’re back for season 15! We’re kicking things off with a conversation about the more God has for us- not more to do, but more to become. Through the picture of acorns and oak trees, this episode invites us to see spiritual growth as a process shaped by identity, intentional practices, and biblical community. It’s an encouraging reminder that maturity takes time, growth happens best when we’re planted, and God is always inviting us to grow into who He created us to be.Subscribe to Shownotes Plus for Discussion Questions, Extra Resources, and More!Learn More About Sisterhood© 2022 Be Essential Songs (BMI) / Jord A Lil Music (BMI) / Doejones20 (BMI) (admin at EssentialMusicPublishing.com).
