What happens when the hard thing doesn't go away? In Part 1 of our study through Job, Amy explores how devastation can turn into discouragement when suffering lingers—and how exhaustion, unanswered questions, and the voices around us can make the weight even heavier. Job's story reminds us that faith doesn't mean pretending we aren't hurting: discouragement is an emotion to walk through, not a destination to live in.

What does biblical modesty actually mean? Is modesty simply about what you wear, or is there something deeper happening in the heart?In this special LIVE Girl Talk, Sarah and Amy Edwards sit down with their Life Groups for an honest conversation about biblical modesty, clothing, body image, insecurity, social media, identity, and honoring Christ with the way we present ourselves.For some women, the word modesty brings memories of strict rules, dress policies, and questions about what is or isn't appropriate to wear. For others, modesty may seem outdated or unnecessary. But biblical modesty isn't about simply finding a list of rules or figuring out how close we can get to the line. It begins with the heart.In this conversation, Sarah and Amy walk through 1 Timothy 2:9–10 and discuss what Scripture teaches about godliness, the value God has placed on our bodies, and the difference between looking beautiful and seeking attention.You'll also hear practical conversations about:• How our motives affect the way we dress• What people notice first• Social media and the desire for attention• Why our bodies are valuable to God• How Christian maturity affects our clothing choices• Listening to the Holy Spirit instead of simply looking for the line• How parents can teach their daughters about modestyWhether you're a teenage girl, young adult, mom, grandmother, or simply a woman trying to navigate the messages our culture sends about beauty and appearance, we hope this conversation points you back to something deeper.Your worth isn't found in how you look, what you wear, or how much attention you receive. Your identity is found in Christ.

In Part 2 of our conversation on modesty, we’re getting into the why behind what you wear. Because sometimes the bigger question isn’t just, “Is this modest?” but, “Why do I want to wear this in the first place?” We’re talking about the motivations behind our clothing choices, the messages we may be sending through what we wear, the influences that shape our style, and how our intentions matter just as much as the outfit itself. This is a conversation about looking beyond the clothes and being honest about what’s influencing the way we dress.

What does it really mean to be a godly woman? And what does biblical womanhood look like in the season of life you’re in right now? In the first episode of our Biblical Womanhood series, we’re talking about the journey of becoming the woman God has called you to be. Every woman is in a different season, and growth won’t look exactly the same for everyone. So how do you recognize the areas where God wants you to grow? What should you be working on right now? And how can you intentionally pursue godliness in your everyday life? No matter your age or season, there is always room to grow closer to God and become more like Him. Join us for an encouraging and practical conversation about biblical womanhood, spiritual growth, and becoming a godly woman right where God has placed you.

What is ministry life really like behind the scenes? In this episode of Girl Talk, we’re having an honest conversation about the joys, challenges, expectations, and realities that come with serving in ministry.

Whether you’re a pastor’s wife, ministry leader, volunteer, staff member, or simply curious about what life in ministry looks like, this conversation is for you. Join us as we share personal experiences, lessons we’ve learned, and encouragement for staying faithful to what God has called you to do. We hope this conversation encourages you, makes you laugh, and reminds you that there’s a lot more to ministry life than what you see on Sunday mornings.
