Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today’s episode is a midweek soul check and a much-needed reminder that your spiritual walk matters more than you know. We’re diving into 1 Corinthians 9:24–27 and reflecting on how our faith journey is more than a passive stroll—it’s a purposeful race toward an eternal crown. With a nod to 1 Timothy 4:8-9, we’re reminded that while physical training has value, spiritual discipline brings life now and forever.

You’ll also hear the final day of the devotional from Gregg Matte’s Friendship, offering four powerful traits modeled by Jesus that can reshape the way we love and serve our friends. If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling spiritually “off,” or wondered how to reconnect with God without guilt or overwhelm, this episode offers both affirmation and a clear next step.
