For The Girl

In this episode of our Daughters Series, we unpack the powerful story of Mary and Martha and discover why this familiar Bible story still has so much to teach us. We talk about the tension between doing things for Jesus and simply being with Him, the danger of burnout and performance-based faith, and the beautiful invitation Jesus gives every daughter to sit at His feet. We also explore one of the most moving moments in Scripture—Jesus weeping with Mary after the death of Lazarus—and what it reveals about His heart toward our pain, disappointment, and grief. Finally, we look at Mary's extravagant act of worship and uncover a powerful pattern throughout her life: every time we see Mary, she's found at the feet of Jesus. Whether you're feeling busy, burned out, heartbroken, or simply longing for more of God's presence, we hope this conversation reminds you that the posture of a daughter is always found at the feet of Jesus.

In this episode, we dive into the story of Mary and unpack what it really looked like for her to say a wholehearted “yes” to God. We talk about how Mary responded with trust instead of fear when the angel Gabriel told her she would carry Jesus, and how her curiosity and surrender opened the door for God to move in miraculous ways. From the stable in Bethlehem to the foot of the cross, Mary’s life reminds us what it means to faithfully follow Jesus through the beautiful, confusing, ordinary, and heartbreaking moments. We also get super honest about the tension of trusting God when life feels unclear. From navigating relationships and fear to letting go of control and choosing faith over anxiety, we reflect on how Mary continually brought her heart to God instead of running from Him. If you’re in a season where you’re asking God for clarity, courage, or deeper trust, we hope this conversation leaves you feeling encouraged to lean in closer and say yes to wherever He’s leading you.

We’re diving into the story of Ruth in session three of our Daughters study—and wow, her story is so much more than just a love story with Boaz. We talk about what it looks like to leave behind comfort and familiarity in order to follow where God is leading, even when it feels scary, uncertain, or lonely. Ruth’s brave “yes” reminds us that some of the most beautiful moves of God in our lives happen on the other side of obedience. We also get honest about friendships and relationships that get hard. Through Ruth and Naomi’s story, we unpack the power of staying faithful in unexpected relationships instead of walking away when things feel messy. Mac and Kenz even share a vulnerable story from their own friendship and how God used a difficult season to create deeper unity and trust. And finally, we talk about redemption. Ruth’s life began with heartbreak and loss, but God slowly and faithfully transformed her story through everyday obedience, humility, and trust. If you’re walking through disappointment, confusion, grief, or a season where God feels distant, this episode is a reminder that He is still writing your story—and He loves to turn broken pieces into something beautiful.

We're continuing our Daughters Series with the story of Deborah — a fearless judge, prophetess, and leader who heard God’s voice clearly and walked in radical obedience. We talk about what it actually looks like to hear from God in everyday life, why obedience isn’t about getting recognition, and how God often uses the unseen and overlooked moments to shape us most deeply. Through Deborah’s story, we’re reminded that when God is on our side, we truly have nothing to fear — even when the odds feel impossible.

In this first episode of our Daughters series, we’re diving into the powerful and unexpected story of Rahab—a woman whose life reminds us that no one is too far gone for God’s redemption. We unpack how her bold faith in the middle of a broken story reveals the heart of God toward His daughters. As we explore her story in the city of Jericho, we’re reminded that God sees, pursues, and deeply loves each of us—no matter our past. We also share personal stories of how God has pursued us in our own lives, showing us that His love crosses every boundary and reaches into every season. This episode is an invitation to see yourself in scripture, to believe that God is after your heart, and to trust that He’s still writing redemption stories today—including yours.

In today’s episode, we’re sharing a real-time update on what God is currently teaching us in our marriages. We’re definitely not experts—we’re just a couple girls in the first decade of marriage learning as we go. From navigating exhaustion and learning how to love our husbands in the small ways, to honoring their voices, creating space for each other to recharge, and keeping fun alive in the middle of busy family life—this conversation is honest, funny, and full of the little lessons shaping our relationships right now. We also talk about serving together, learning deeper dependence on our spouses in new seasons, and why prayer for your husband might be one of the most powerful things you can do in marriage. If you’re married, dating, or dreaming about marriage someday, we hope this episode encourages you that growth in marriage often comes through the everyday moments. And truly—God is using it all.

Comparison is sneaky, and if we’re honest, it’s something none of us ever fully graduate from. In today’s episode, we’re having a real conversation about how comparison shows up in our lives—even in adulthood, friendships, motherhood, and ministry. We share some vulnerable stories from our own friendship and from building Delight together, including moments when comparison tried to creep in and steal our joy. But here’s the good news: we truly believe freedom from comparison is possible. We walk through seven practical ways to combat comparison—from calling it out and checking your lane to celebrating others and committing to gratitude. These aren’t just theories; they’re lessons we’ve had to learn (and relearn) over the years. If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling after scrolling social media, questioning your gifts, or feeling like someone else is doing life “better,” this episode is for you. Our prayer is that you walk away feeling lighter, freer, and more confident in the unique way God designed you. 💛 In This Episode [02:30] Comparison in Close Friendships [05:30] Call It Out [07:00] Where Comparison Shows Up Today [10:00] The Hidden Lies Behind Comparison [14:00] Check Your Lane [20:00] Catch It Early [24:00] When Our Minds Start Spiraling [28:00] Cut the Feed [33:00] Celebrate Others [38:00] Connect With Yourself [42:00] Commit to Gratitude [44:30] Finding Freedom from Comparison Delight Ministries Looking for a Delight Chapter near you?

In today’s episode, we’re getting real about what it actually looks like to live on mission with your spouse — not just talk about it, but truly build a marriage centered on the Kingdom of God. But before we dive deep, we’re starting with some hilarious (and slightly dramatic) marriage fight stories — because let’s be honest… marriage isn't always easy. 😅 What if marriage isn’t just about comfort, date nights, vacations, and building a cozy life… but about building the Kingdom together?

Okayyyy this one was FUN. 💌 In the spirit of our Valentine’s series, we brought in the real experts — our husbands — to answer your dating questions. And let’s just say… they did not hold back. From slow texters and “is he into me?” confusion, to crushes that might be idols (yikes 😅), to dating your ex’s best friend (double yikes??), we covered it all. We talked about insecurity, confidence, communication, rejection, equal yoking, and what healthy pursuit actually looks like. The boys shared honestly about what it means to pursue with clarity, why you should never have to guess how a guy feels about you, and how important community and character really are. If you’re dating, thinking about dating, healing from dating, or just trying to not overthink dating — this episode is for you. We laughed a lot and hopefully left you feeling a little more confident, a little more grounded, and a lot more at peace.

In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Christian Bevere to talk all about what it looks like to pray for your future husband — before you even know his name. We dive deep into faith, singleness, and what it really means to contend in prayer for the love story God is writing. Christian shares her whirlwind love story, but more importantly, she walks us through how praying for her husband transformed her heart long before she walked down the aisle. We talk about awkward prayers, husband Bibles, singleness as a gift, and how to navigate dating in today’s world without losing your peace or your standards. If you’re single and waiting, dating and discerning, or even married and reflecting on how God moved in your story — this conversation will remind you that God hears every prayer, sees every tear, and is wildly intentional with your timeline.

We’ve made it to the final week of our Bible study through The Wild Invitation, and wow — what a ride through the book of Acts! This week, we’re reflecting on how the early church’s boldness and reliance on the Holy Spirit weren’t just for then — they’re for us today, too. We talk about living as modern-day witnesses of Jesus, navigating seasons of quiet obedience, and how to follow the Spirit’s lead in our everyday lives (even if that means striking up a convo at a pizza shop). We also open up about feeling inspired and overwhelmed — how sometimes the mission feels big when we’re weary or in a harder season. But Acts reminds us: God uses the ordinary. The story’s not over. We’re invited in. It’s not just their story — it’s ours too. Let’s say yes to this wild, bold, Spirit-led life.

We’re talking about what it looks like to trust God’s timing, keep showing up in the waiting, and believe that even the hidden seasons are holy.

In this week’s episode, we dive deep into Acts 10 and talk all about what it looks like to love people who are different from us. We’re talking about real, Spirit-led community—the kind that crosses lines of comfort, culture, and even conviction. From Jewish-Gentile divides in the early church to our own hidden biases today, this story of Peter and Cornelius challenges us to open our homes and hearts wider. We laugh a lot, but we're also honest about how the Spirit gently convicts us to live differently. Whether it’s choosing curiosity over judgment, or inviting someone new to your dinner table, this episode will inspire you to take your next step toward radical love.

Hey FTG Fam! We're tackling Acts 2 this week and the beautiful, radical way the early church lived in community with the Holy Spirit at the center. As we go through Week 2 of The Wild Invitation Bible study, we reflect on what it truly looks like to care for one another, share life sacrificially, and be on mission together. From funny church traditions we’d ditch to the hard-but-holy call to open our hearts and homes, we get real about what a Spirit-filled community looks like in modern life. We for sure don't have all this figured out, but we'd love you to be on the journey with us!

Okay, friends—today is a super special episode because I have my husband Josh on the podcast with me! We’re telling the full story of how baby Chip came into the world…and let me tell you, it was not what we expected. From thinking I’d just walk into the hospital and get the epidural (lol) to watching a Bin Laden documentary while laboring (double lol), things escalated fast and got real intense. We talk about everything—the painful wait for the epidural, my back labor, Josh going full Enneagram 8 on the nurses, and the sweetest moment when we paused to pray and God showed up big. This episode is raw, funny, and deeply personal. So grateful to share this one with you! In This Episode [06:00] Labor Begins... During a War Documentary?We realize I’m in early labor, and yes—we’re watching an Osama Bin Laden documentary instead of listening to Oceans. [09:00] The Hospital Experience: Confusion, Back Labor & No EpiduralThey didn’t believe I was in labor (spoiler: I was). Then we waited over two hours for an epidural while I was in major pain. [14:00] Josh Goes Full Enneagram 8 & I Hit My LimitJosh has a throwdown with the nurses while I contemplate accepting fentanyl (!!!). We stop to pray—and God really met us. [18:00] Redemption in the Chaos + Chip is Here The anesthesiologist finally shows up. I go from 7cm to pushing, but the wireless monitor throws us off. Once I trust my gut, Chip is born in five minutes. [26:00] Processing the Birth + What We’d Do Differently We reflect on how hospital staff impacted our experience and what we’d change if there’s a baby #3.[30:30] Meet Chip: How We Picked His Name Chip James Durham, y’all! We unpack the story behind the name—including the spicy alternatives like Chip Danger and Chip Legend. [33:30] Life With Two Kids: The Beautiful Chaos What it’s been like going from one to two, how we’re adjusting, and why we’re soaking in every smile from baby Chip.

We’re talking to the girl who feels like she has to be the perfect Christian. We’ve been there too—trying to say the right thing, pray the perfect prayer, and never mess up. But that pressure? It’s exhausting. We open up about the ways we’ve struggled with perfectionism in our own faith and how God has gently reminded us that His grace isn’t something we can earn. Together, we’re breaking down lies, uncovering truth, and choosing freedom over performance. If you’ve ever felt like you had to have it all together, this one’s for you.

We’re talking straight to the girl in transition—whether you just moved to a new place, started a new job, became a mama, or are figuring out what’s next.
