There's a reason that He has you in that room, so you can be so confident in that.

Write out 3 things about yourself that you know God put in you. Put it somewhere that you'll see and remember it, and when you have questions, take them to Him- He has the answers you need!

Scriptures: Psalm 3:3 – Psalm 46:5 – Proverbs 31:10

Today’s episode is different. This isn’t just a topic of conversation. This is our lives. We want to share with you a very real and emotional discussion we had about the pain of pornography.

Whether you are right in the thick of discovering your loved ones addiction, or you are years out, please listen in. We want to remind you that you are good enough, you are beautiful just the way you are, and you are not alone.

We all have moments that seem to break us a little. Sooner or later, we each face seasons where the pain of those moments feels unbearable, and the effects of what we’ve done or experienced paint a picture that looks like the end of our purpose.

But guess what? It’s not over yet. Because in the words of today’s guest, broken crayons still color.

Join Ginger, Jai, Erin and special guest Toni Collier for a conversation with grit, candor and humor that will remind you that even in your brokenness, your life is still beautifully filled with purpose.

Because infertility is much more common than we often realize, there’s a good chance it’s affected you or someone you love in a deep way. Whatever your story has been, please join us for this very important episode. Join Ginger, Jai, Erin and their good friends Jami and Kim for a conversation that will encourage and remind you that right here, right now, you are anything but alone.

There’s no way God still loves me…He knows how broken I am.

I’ve lost too much and messed up too much to help anybody else.

Grace? Yeah, that’s for them, not me.

My bad decisions got me here—I deserve this pain.

Any of these thoughts sound familiar? When we’re going through deep pain and loss, it’s easy to think that we’re past hope and beyond God’s love, but nothing could be further from the truth. Join Ginger, Jai, Erin and the stunning Taylor Madu (co-pastor of Social Dallas and wife of Robert Madu) to find out why and how He will never leave your side, no matter how deep the pain.

Faith is great. It even seems unshakable at times…until.

Because ______ said I’m not good enough, it must be true.

It’s hopeless—this problem will never go away.

NO one understands how I’m hurting…I really am alone.

PSALMS.

We love this book so much, we had to do a whole episode about it!

With more verses than any other book in the Bible, Psalms is jam-packed with beauty, gut-wrenching honesty, words of wisdom, and comforting reassurance for us, even in the middle of pain. Listen in today as Joyce, Ginger, Jai and Erin talk through just a few of the most practical treasures we can find in the psalmists’ most authentic conversations with God.

P.S. Snag your copy of Joyce’s newest devotional on the book of Psalms at joycemeyer.org/store!

The devo you need this fall.

Every day God wants us to share the good, the bad and the ugly with Him, openly and honestly. That’s the beauty of Psalms. Each chapter reveals how the psalmists poured out their heart to God when they were joyful, content, peaceful and hopeful as well as when they were fearful, discouraged, angry and lonely. These daily devotions will help you do the same...bringing you closer to Jesus as you worship Him in times of rejoicing and times of difficulty.

Mom.

The name can bring up a sea of emotions—everything from fear to desire, to grief to frustration. We all have different challenges associated with momming, whether we dream of becoming one, are in the throes of raising several kids, or aren’t sure how we feel about having any at all.

Whatever your situation is, there’s gold for you in this episode. Listen in as we look back at a couple of our conversations (including one with the lovely Lisa Harper!) where we share how you can navigate the teen years, embrace God’s unique plan for you, trust Him to take care of your kids, and let Jesus in to heal your heart where you’ve been broken.

Hey Girlfriends!

Choosing a fabulous outfit for the day? Don’t forget your full armor of God! That is what we are talking about today on a new episode and it has been a life-changer for us—protecting and preparing us for whatever we may face. Jai and I have been doing this for years and Erin just jumped in. She is already seeing great things!

So, how do I put on God’s armor?

This armor may be spiritual, but it is real too. And, friend, you will be decked out! During the podcast, Joyce said that we “pray, say and do.” That’s a great way to think about putting on your armor! Pray, ask God to clothe you in His armor, and thank him for it, out loud.

When I pray through this, I like to start at my head and make my way down. “God, thank you for the gift of your helmet of salvation. Let me think, see, hear and speak the way you want me to.” (Here, I like to throw in an added prayer for great hair too – it can’t hurt, right!

I ask for the breastplate of His righteousness, the belt of truth, and those fabulous shoes making me ready to share the Gospel of peace.

Then I move to the weapons. “Please arm me the shield of faith and the sword of your Word.” This is where the “do” comes in. Study the Bible so that your life is full to overflowing with God’s Word. Build up your faith by trusting God and remembering how He answers prayer. Now you are fierce!

If it helps you to remember, do it while you are putting on your actual clothes. Afterall, women are great multi-taskers. Now, you’re fully dressed; looking good and ready for whatever may lie ahead!
