  Control or Trust? 18.08.2026 30мин

  If I could control every circumstance in my life, I would. We would. The truth is we can’t. We don’t. But that doesn’t mean that life is out of control. Jody and Shawna open up about times that they wanted, even tried to control circumstances - from scrubbing toilets to retail therapy. All the while the God who is in control extends his hand to us and asks, “Do you trust me?” Join us for an honest look at what it means to take His hand when life feels out of control.

  From Retail to Renewal 11.08.2026 31мин

  Shawna was treated poorly yesterday and about 15 minutes later she had the random thought to buy a pair of pants she was looking at online. But before she did, she got curious about why this thought showed up now. God showed her that she was bringing her need to be valued to the retail world instead of to Him. Jody and Shawna process that experience and explore the many places we take our hunger and what it really costs us. The book Shawna references is Soul Care by Dr. Rob Reimer. WEBS...

  Rethinking Normal 28.07.2026 26мин

  Before YouTube, We Called Mom 14.07.2026 22мин

  Where do you turn when you need help? The mighty internet, of course! There are solutions for everything from “how to change a tire” to “the purest way to make sourdough bread.” (Why do I always want bread after listening to this podcast?) Before the internet, we called our mom, or a friend. Are we missing out on personal connection by turning to YouTube? WEBSITE: www.jodyandshawna.com INSTAGRAM: @realsistersrealtalk

  When Obedience Doesn't Make Sense 07.07.2026 32мин

  Do you need to understand in order to obey God? We all want to—but is it necessary?

  Information Isn't Transformation 30.06.2026 20мин

  The Slow Work of Spiritual Maturity 23.06.2026 22мин

  If there is a 6 week course on becoming like Jesus, sign me up. But there isn’t. Having our character shaped by God takes a life time.

  A Prescription for Anxiety 16.06.2026 22мин

  Don’t you wish there was a prescription for your anxiety? Not from the pharmacy but from the Lord?

  Did I Hear God Wrong? 09.06.2026 29мин

  When things don’t go the way you want them to, does that mean you didn’t hear from the Lord? Jody and Shawna process moments in their own lives when they asked that same question.

  Living From Approval, Not For It 02.06.2026 23мин

  After a full, productive day of work, Shawna went back to her hotel room and ruminated over one moment she wished she could do over. Til the Holy Spirit intervened and took her thoughts in a brand new direction.

  Walking On Water 26.05.2026 25мин

  You can judge Peter for taking his eyes off of Jesus but he’s the only disciple who stepped out of the boat and actually walked on water! Jody and Shawna process how “walking on water” is how we are meant to live every day - eyes on Jesus - not the waves - trusting - believing!

  Forgiveness, Grace, Growth 19.05.2026 23мин

  On Shawna’s flight to Cali to film the podcast a guy she met on the plane said he was heading home and didn’t know how he would be received. Jody and Shawna talk about how forgiveness can lead to being curious about how others might respond to us, rather than keeping them stuck in who they’ve always been. You’re different. They are too. And also a bit about what healthy boundaries look like with people we’ve forgiven. WEBSITE: www.jodyandshawna.com INSTAGRAM: @realsistersrealtalk
