Going There in Conversations with Christian Women

The Art of Conversation and Why It Matters

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:30:00 -0000

Today, we are exploring the art of intentional conversation and why it matters as Christians. We talk about moving beyond surface-level small talk and learning how to ask meaningful questions, listen well, and create space for real connection. Intentional conversations can deepen relationships, strengthen community, and reflect Christ in the way we engage with others. We hope this conversation leaves you with vision and excitement for interactions with others.

Does It Really Matter if I Understand Grace?

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:30:00 -0000

In this episode we’re diving into the struggle of people pleasing and the tension between seeking approval from others and honoring God.

Rhythms of Rest, Silence and Sabbath

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:30:00 -0000

Mama Said, Be Mindful: In Our Relationships with Christina Richardson

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 09:30:00 -0000

Maybe one of the hardest areas to be mindful is in our relationships. People are dynamic creatures- with different personalities, wants, desires and needs- all created by God for good and with purpose. And then God said not to make man alone, so He built us for community with others who are also sinful and dynamic. That said, we have a lot to talk about! Join us and our friend, Christina Richardson, as we discuss how the Bible talks about mindfulness in our relationships and how we navigate them with love, grace and wisdom.

All throughout the Bible we hear the importance of our minds. We are told to "take every through captive", to "set our minds on things above", and to be "transformed by the renewing of our minds". But how do we do that? What does that mindfulness in practice actually look like? Introducing a 4-week mini-series about Mindfulness- focusing in our Words, Decision Making, Relationships and Parenting.

You Can, Because God with Laura Smith

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 09:30:00 -0000

If you are like us, often you can feel defeated, overwhelmed and overcome.

We are all juggling many things- relationships, healthy living, friendships, marriages, raising kids, succeeding at a job, taking care of a home and abounding other responsibilities.

Join Christian and Samantha as they discuss just that and how we stay focused on the goal in a world and culture that would love nothing more than to distract us.

When You're Overbooked and Overwhelmed with Tara Sun

Wed, 20 Aug 2025 09:30:00 -0000

In a world and culture that preaches and sells the lie of busyness=importance, it takes intentionality to function differently.

That our lives actually were an outpouring of God within us.

Can We See the Warning Signs?

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 09:30:00 -0000

All throughout the Bible we are given guidelines as to how to live our lives in line with the gospel. These guidelines are meant for our flourishing, abundance, joy and security. But often times in our human nature and the realities of living in a broken world, we see warning signs and simply blow past them. Join us as we talk about growing in wisdom of how to recognize these warning signs and pivot our actions, words or thoughts to be aligned with how Christ calls us to live.

How Do We Grieve Well?

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 09:30:00 -0000

Grief is hard, dynamic, emotional, and often unexpected. Our culture and world promote a narrative that you can act however in your grief, even if it means functioning in an unhealthy way or in sin. We believe the Bible actually preaches a hopeful alternative. One that, even in grief, calls us into the bigger story God has for our life and into deeper relationship with Christ. Join us as we talk about our personal experiences with grief and how we can support and care for one another well in these sad seasons.

Join us in conversation today with our new friend and psychiatrist, Dr. Alison Mitchell.

Whatever you feel, we have felt it too. Join us as we talk with our friend and author, Maggie Combs, about how to instead, live in the freedom and grace that the gospel offers us in mothering.

Fruit of the Spirit- Self-Control

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 10:30:00 -0000

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.

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!

Fruit of the Spirit- Kindness

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 09:30:00 -0000

"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.

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?

Do I Really Need to Go to Church on Sunday’s?

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 08:00:00 -0000

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.

How do we have fun with these traditions, but not confuse the real meaning of the holiday?

What is discipleship? Jesus had 12 disciples and his life was dedicated to training up followers of him. And even in his everyday life he discipled people every opportunity he had. But he was Jesus!

What I Wish I Would Have Known in my 20s: Getting Control of Your Life

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 09:00:00 -0000

We all, in some sense, crave control. Control over our circumstances, our jobs, our children, our spouses, our possessions, or our futures.

What I Wish I Would Have Known in my 20s: Resting Where God Places You

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 09:00:00 -0000

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!

We can all relate to feel trapped or bogged down by our limitations. Thinking and believing we aren’t good enough, that we don’t have enough, that we need more, that we deserve better. But what if instead of focusing on what we don’t have, we focused on what we do have? Or we focus on the purpose of our limitations.
