Ep. 067 - I thought I was going to marry this guy. How could I move on? How could I imagine a future without him? Worst of all... how could I ever date again? Breakups can be one of the most devastating moments in a woman's life. Breakups can leave one lonely, grieving and anxious about the future. I know, because I've been there many times.

Ep. 070 - Let's jump back to the year 2014. This was the year that Girl Defined Ministries came into existence. Talk about a step of faith. We didn't know what in the world we were doing. We just knew that we needed to TRUST God and follow His leading. Is there something in your own life that you know you need to trust God with? Maybe it's taking a step of faith towards something. Or, maybe it's ending a bad relationship that should have ended a year ago. JOIN US ON PATREON | |||
| 04 Apr 2022 | My Unexpected Path Toward Marriage | 00:26:34 | |
Ep. 071 - Imagine walking into a church and standing a few feet away from your future husband WITHOUT realizing it. This is Bethany's story.

| 11 Apr 2022 | Bethany's Story of Miscarriage and Loss over the Past Year | 00:48:03 | |
Ep. 072 - It’s been a long year. I (Bethany) never imagined I’d be sharing a story like this one. I knew miscarriages could be a possibility, but I never imagined I would have three back-to-back-to-back. My faith has been challenged in new ways. My relationship with my sweet husband has grown and deepened because of these losses. I know God is good. I know He has a plan. I trust Him. Learn how to TRUST God with me. Learn how to believe that He is GOOD even in the midst of the hard. Let's unpack what it looks like to find joy in the Lord in the midst of loss. JOIN US ON PATREON | |||
| 18 Apr 2022 | When Guy DRAMA Gets Out of Control | 00:30:10 | |
Ep. 073 - Guy drama is a HUGE issue for many women. It can quite literally tear good friendships apart. Women who were once the best of friends end up going their separate ways... over a guy!

Ep. 074 - It was a terrifying day for everyone in the country of Ukraine. The people of Ukraine woke up very early to radio stations and TV channels announcing that Russia had invaded their beloved homeland. Our sister woke up to sounds of bombing not far from her house. It was (and is) a literal nightmare. JOIN US ON PATREON | |||
| 02 May 2022 | Dear Single Sister, don't SETTLE for a guy who doesn't truly LOVE God | 00:42:58 | |
Ep. 075 - Don’t settle for a guy who isn’t interested in honoring God with his life. No matter how cute or funny he is, it’s not worth it in the end. Settling is never worth it. Don’t lower the bar for a guy who’s cute and charming, but lacks godly character and a genuine love for God. Don’t allow yourself to fall for a guy who makes you laugh, but cares only for himself. Don’t stay with a guy who says he loves you, but constantly pressures you to compromise. As satisfying as it might feel in the moment to be in a romantic relationship, the infatuation won’t last forever. Wait for a man who will push you closer to Christ, rather than away. JOIN US ON PATREON | |||

Ep. 076 - Sadly, divorce seems to be the go-to option for many couples in our modern day. That's why we are passionate about equipping couples with the wisdom and tools needed to make it the distance. What if we told you that pre-marital counseling has the ability reduce your chances of divorce by about thirty percent. It's true! Simply by working through issues and preparing before marriage can set you up for success. JOIN US ON PATREON | |||
| 16 May 2022 | How Do I Know If He's The One? | 00:36:33 | |
Ep. 077 - Have you ever wondered anything like this: “How will I know when I meet my future husband?” Or, “How will I know if he’s the one I should marry?” Or, “What signs should I look for to figure out who the one is?!” These are popular questions. Chances are, you’ve probably asked some of them yourself. Trying to “figure out the ONE” is something we’ve asked ourselves over the years too. However, instead of looking for a magic sign or an overwhelming feeling, we’ve discovered a better way to go about this. We’ve come up with several practical and helpful questions for discerning “the one.” JOIN US ON PATREON | |||

| 13 Jun 2022 | “Freeze Your Eggs. Free Your Career.” The Alarming Trend of Putting Babies on Hold | 00:30:22 | |
Ep. 081 - The whole idea of freezing your eggs is becoming more appealing to women each year. Instead of being bound by her (God-designed) biological clock, women can delay having children until their 40s, without the worry of having to produce healthy eggs. The basic idea is that you freeze your strong eggs when you’re in your 20s, and then use them when you’re in your 40s. Women, young and old, are loving this new freezing technology because it frees them up from having to “settle down” too early. They can pursue their career, delay marriage, be independent, and still have a chance to be a mom – on their own timeframe.

Ep. 086 - Lust isn't a guy problem. It's a human problem. That means that Christian women struggle with sexual sin as well. Yes, Christian women struggle with addiction to porn.

Ep. 087 - You read that right. A man has been nominated for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. This is a huge honor and one any biological woman would be honored to receive. But... no. There isn't room for real women any more. Men have entered the scene and they are taking over. They are literally erasing women before our eyes.

| 01 Aug 2022 | Is Modesty Still Relevant for Christian Women? | 00:36:43 | |
Ep. 088 - Modesty is one of those topics that most Christians won't touch with a 10ft pole. It's controversial. It's divisive. It's confusing. It's just hard to talk about. We get it. That's why we haven't talked about it much over the past few years either. That all changes today though. We're jumping back in the deep and going there. We're having the hard conversation.

Ep. 091 - What is the deal with Drag Queens? It's like they've tripled in numbers over the past few years and have taken front and center on the stage. Even parents are taking their young children to hear drag queens read children's books.... and watch them twerk. This is NOT okay.

Ep. 093 - This wildly popular episode is back for a much needed replay. Dr. Rosaria Butterfield was an English professor at Syracuse University, specializing in queer theory, lobbying for LGBTQ+ groups, was in a committed lesbian relationship and living the life she thought would bring her true happiness. Until the day she was confronted with the true gospel of Jesus Christ. In an effort to prove Christianity wrong, Dr. Rosaria read through the Bible seven times looking for flaws and issues with the Word. The opposite happened though. Through the love of other believers and the power of the Holy Spirit, Rosaria’s heart was changed. In today’s episode, you’ll hear Rosaria’s testimony and the truth of the gospel that set her free and changed her life forever. JOIN US ON PATREON | |||

I then took you on my dating and engagement journey with my now husband Dav. Motherhood followed shortly after marriage and you were right there with me. Sadly, three miscarriages came after that.

| 13 Sep 2022 | How Motherhood has Changed our Priorities in Ministry | 00:48:52 | |
Ep 094 - The two of us found ourselves without children for all of our thirties. That gave us plenty of time to focus on Girl Defined Ministries and all that running a non-profit entails. The past two years changed all of that though. We both became mothers and our lives suddenly looked very different. We wondered, "How can we balance both motherhood and running a ministry?"

| 26 Sep 2022 | 8 Reasons I'm Not a Feminist | 00:30:51 | |
Ep. 096 - If you are familiar with our ministry you know that, we created GirlDefined Ministries to help girls “get BACK to God’s design.” As a whole, Christian girls are really struggling to understand what God’s design is for their lives and how to practically live that out. In short, we don’t believe feminism is the answer to our womanhood questions. Yes, feminism has done some good over the years, but by and large it has left women more confused and unfulfilled than ever before. Why? Because whenever you try to define the creature apart from the Creator, you end up with problems. Feminism is an entire belief system and worldview built by women in an attempt to redefine womanhood.

Most women simply listen to their Dr. (without question) when they're told to get on the pill for one reason or other.

Ep. 104 - Christian women often feel extremely uncomfortable talking about sex. It seems there is an unspoken rule to keep everything super "hush-hush." This is ridiculous. Most women have big questions about sex and we (as Christians) should be the first to talk about this area of life. God designed sex.

Ep. 109 - As Christian women of this modern generation, we breathe the air and ideology of feminism without even realizing it. What's normal today (sexual autonomy, gender fluidity, cohabitating) wasn't normal a few decades ago.

Ep. 127 - Enjoy this replay. Finding purpose, worth, identity, and true joy are core desires of every woman. Sadly though, many of us are finding ourselves in a place that is void of the very things we long for. This is because we’re looking to ourselves and the world for answers about our purpose, worth, and identity as women rather than God’s Word. We need to remind ourselves that God is our loving creator and has an amazing plan for our lives as females. Our deepest desires will only be realized when we fully surrender our lives to God and get back to His timeless design for our womanhood.

Ep. 129 - Target stores nationwide have fully embraced the gender confusion mania with their new "Take Pride" apparel line. I walked into a store this week to check things out for myself. I saw female-style swimsuits which offered a "tuck option" along with an extra wide crotch for biological males. I saw graphic tees geared toward teen girls featuring large print that said, "Busy thinking about girls." But the worst products by far were the rainbow colored BABY bibs and onesies with text like "I am PROUD of you always." How should we respond to this? How should we navigate this Biblically? As shocking as Target's bold displays are...what if this is simply the natural next step for a society that has rejected God as the Creator? Let's unpack this together.
