What if your “word of the year” became more than just inspiration…what if it became a process for transformation?

In this solo episode of A Woman’s Heart, I’m sharing the story behind my 2026 word: SOAR. What started as a simple, inspiring word turned into something much deeper—an acronym that reflects a daily, intentional walk with God: Surrender. Obedience. Action. Results.

This wasn’t a flashy, instant decision. It was a slow burn—filled with overthinking, prayer, and God patiently nudging me toward clarity. And in a moment (yes, even in the shower!), God revealed that SOAR wasn’t just about rising higher… it was about how to get there.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What it really means to surrender (and why it’s not as scary as it sounds)
• The difference between obedience and just “doing the right thing”
• Why action is where faith becomes real
• How to trust God with the results, even when they don’t look like what you expected

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re going in circles, this episode will encourage you to take the next step—no matter how small—and trust God with the process.

Reflection Questions:

• What is God asking you to surrender?
• Where might He be calling you to greater obedience?
• What action have you been putting off?
• Are you trusting Him with the results?

What does it really mean to live a life that matters?

In this episode of A Woman’s Heart I sit down with Bible teacher and author Crickett Keeth to talk about her latest Bible study, Living Out a Life That Matters: A Study of 2 Timothy. Together, we explore how the apostle Paul’s final words challenge us to live with purpose, faithfulness, and eternal perspective.

Crickett shares her heart for writing Bible studies that help women go deeper into God’s Word and why she is so passionate about encouraging others to live intentionally for what truly lasts. This conversation is both practical and inspiring as we talk about the power of our words, the call to remain vigilant and diligent in our faith, and how everyday faithfulness can leave a lasting legacy.

If you’ve ever wondered how to make a difference that goes beyond this life, this episode will encourage you to step into your God-given purpose.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Her passion for helping women engage deeply with Scripture
• The importance of faithfulness, vigilance, and diligence
• Being intentional with our words and influence
