Jody and Shawna unpack the difference between simply gathering information and actually being transformed by it. From “fruit salad” faith to real spiritual growth, they explore the gap between knowledge and wisdom, and why God’s goal isn’t just to inform your mind - but change your life! They talk about the process of renewing your mind, learning to discern God’s will, and trusting Him as you apply what you’ve learned. WEBSITE: www.jodyandshawna.com INSTAGRAM: @realsistersrealtalk

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. Jody and Shawna talk about their own impatience on the journey of spiritual maturity and find encouragement from looking at the lives of Joseph and Moses. As you wait on His timing, remember, God isn’t punishing you, he’s preparing you. WEBSITE: www.jodyandshawna.com INSTAGRAM: @realsistersrealtalk

Don’t you wish there was a prescription for your anxiety? Not from the pharmacy but from the Lord? Jody and Shawna talk about: how our bodies often know we’re anxious before we realize it, how much of our thinking is about the past and the future, and real, practical ways to come back to the present, including a Biblical prescription.

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. It's a gentle reminder that our job is obedience and the outcomes are up to Him. WEBSITE: www.jodyandshawna.com INSTAGRAM: @realsistersrealtalk

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. Jody and Shawna process how easy it is to get caught up in trying to be perfect, people-pleasers instead of resting in the truth that God knows us completely so we can live from approval, not for it.

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!

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

No matter what is going on around you, you can set your internal temperature on joy. As you do, you can be someone who brings the peace of Christ into the chaos of life.

Through simple breath prayers and holy habits you can rest in the One who holds all of life together, including YOU! WEBSITE: www.jodyandshawna.com INSTAGRAM: @realsistersrealtalk

In this episode of Real Sisters Real Talk, Jody shares a real-life moment of being on the receiving end of a snarky comment, and together with Shawna, they unpack what’s happening beneath the surface when offense rises up.

We understand the role of Father and of Son but it’s a little harder to grasp the role of the Holy Spirit. Jody and Shawna talk about - not only the role of the Spirit - but also share stories from scripture and their own lives of ways that He is actively involved in our lives.
