Do you feel stuck in your thought life — circling fear, doubt, and striving even though you love Jesus? You’re not alone, sister. In this Spirit Filled Girl Talk episode, we get real about renewing your mind in Christ so you can surrender, trust God, and walk in your Kingdom purpose with faith and confidence. Together we unpack how to take every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), live by biblical truth instead of cultural noise (Romans 12:2), and step into a rhythm of daily obedience, peace, and Spirit-led transformation.

You’ll hear practical, grace-filled ways to move from reaction to rest — to pause, pray, and choose truth when anxiety, comparison, or a critical inner voice tries to steal your peace. With honest stories, Scripture, and Spirit-filled sisterhood, this conversation will help you renew your mind, strengthen your identity in Christ, and grow in spiritual maturity.

In this episode, we cover:

• The battle of the mind and why worship is warfare

• Seven daily practices to renew your mind in Christ

• How to trade “What if?” fear for “Trust God” faith

• Practical steps for walking in obedience and purpose even when emotions pull you elsewhere

Key Scriptures: Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Philippians 4:6–7; 2 Timothy 1:7

Reflection prompts:

• Which lie have I been believing about God or myself?

• What Scripture truth can I declare today?

• Where do I need to surrender control and walk boldly in obedience?

Have you ever felt excluded, unseen, or misunderstood — even by other women of faith? Maybe you’ve faced gossip, judgment, or silent competition in friendships and wondered, “How do I handle this with grace and still protect my heart?”

In this empowering and faith-filled episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, hosts Sarah Phillipe and Satin Pelfrey sit down with author and speaker Caroline Shankle to talk about courage, comparison, and identity in Christ when friendships get hard.

Caroline shares her own story of rejection and bullying as a teen, how God met her in heartbreak, and how those experiences inspired her devotional, The Lion and the Bear. Drawing from 1 Samuel 17, she reminds us that before David faced Goliath, he first fought “the lion and the bear” — and just like David, every trial we face is preparing us for something greater.

You’ll hear biblical truth and practical wisdom for both teen girls and moms navigating today’s social-media-driven culture, where comparison, competition, and insecurity run rampant. From learning how to create safe spaces for honest conversation to recognizing the God who sees (El Roi), this conversation is filled with encouragement, laughter, and reminders that your identity, worth, and purpose come from Jesus alone.

💬 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How to navigate rejection, gossip, and comparison with grace and spiritual maturity

• Why identity in Christ is the foundation for confidence and courage

• How to discern when to create healthy boundaries or lean into reconciliation

• What it means to surrender emotional wounds to God and walk in His peace

• How faith growth often happens through relational challenges and spiritual refinement

✨ Key Takeaways:

• You’re not defined by who left you out — you’re chosen, seen, and loved by God.

• Surrender to God transforms insecurity into strength and comparison into calling.

• Faith flourishes when you trust God to defend your heart and direct your relationships.

🕊️ Who This Is For: Christian women — from teen girls to moms — If you or someone you love has ever felt unseen, excluded, or uninvited — this episode will remind you that God is using your battles to build your bravery.

This isn’t small talk. It’s Spirit Filled Girl Talk.
