Together, they reflect on the journey of saying "Yes, Lord" through seasons of uncertainty, sacrifice, healing, growth, and faith.

What if the hardest person to love… sounds a little like you? This week on Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis continue the series inspired by A New Way to Love Your Neighbor with Episode 2: The Complainer. Let's be honest—complaining is easy. But what happens when it becomes a mindset… a habit… or even a way we relate to others? In this episode, we unpack: - The difference between grumbling against God and lamenting to God - How complaining impacts our relationships, leadership, and faith -What the Israelites teach us about perspective in the wilderness -How to love someone who constantly complains—without losing yourself -And the hard truth… sometimes we are the complainer With real conversation, a powerful skit, and practical wisdom, this episode will challenge you to shift from frustration to gratitude—and learn a new way to love your neighbor.  Question for you: Are you bringing your complaints to people… or to God?

Choosing Better Instead of Best: The Love God Is Actually Asking For" What if the love you've been giving… isn't the love God is asking for? Sisterfriend, this conversation is going to meet you in a real place. In this episode of Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis sit down at the table and unpack Chapter 2 of A New Way to Love Your Neighbor—and it quickly turns into a heart check we didn't know we needed. What if you're loving… but not loving like God? The truth is: Sometimes what we call love… is really comfort, habit, or preference. And God is calling us higher. We're talking about the difference between "better" and "best" love— the kind that stretches you, costs you, and transforms you. This one will meet you right where you are… and gently push you forward. Go listen. Then come back and tell me— what part stretched you the most? Continue the conversation: Join us in the daily love challenges and reflect with us throughout the week. Don't just listen—lean in.

Episode: The Taker Some people don't just need love… they pull on it. And if we're honest— sometimes that person is us. This week, Theresa and Candis sit down and get real about "the taker"—the relationships that stretch us, drain us, and invite us to love differently. Not surface love. Not convenient love. But Christ-like love. As we walk through A New Way to Love Your Neighbor by Jada Edwards, this conversation will challenge your heart, your boundaries, and your understanding of what it really means to give… without losing yourself. And this is just the beginning. We're inviting you into our 60-Day Love Challenge—because we're not just talking about love… we're learning how to live it. ☕ Come sit with us.

Cup of Soul Podcast — Season 10, Episode 178 Settling for the Wrong Definitions What if the reason we struggle to love well… is because we've been living from the wrong definition of love? In this episode, Theresa and Candis open an honest and needed conversation about how culture, experiences, and comparison have shaped the way we understand love—often without us realizing it. From friendships to family to our relationship with God, we can find ourselves calling things "love" that were never meant to define it. Together, we unpack: • How comparison quietly distorts the way we love • Why we often define love based on what we've experienced • The difference between natural love and Spirit-led love • What it looks like to accept, encourage, and love without competing or trying to change people Because the truth is— You cannot love people well while measuring yourself against them. This episode creates space to pause and reflect: Who or what has been shaping your definition of love? And where might God be inviting you to see it differently? Love isn't something we perform. It's something we receive… and then release. ✨ Next week: We go deeper into how to love in your hardest relationships—starting with The Taker.

We're back… and this one is different. Pastor Theresa & Candis are stepping into a deeper conversation with a bold question:          👉🏽 Do you really love people well? This season, we're walking through A New Way to Love Your Neighbor — and it's not about surface love… it's about transformation. Because the truth is… We don't have a people problem— we have a love problem. 📌This isn't just a podcast. It's a journey. A challenge. A new way of living. 👉🏽 12 Episodes 👉🏽 60 Day Love Challenge 👉🏽 Real conversations that will stretch you Pull up a chair… Your cup is waiting.

We're closing the book—but not the work. In this final conversation on The Garden Within, we lean into Chapter 15: Tending Your Embodied Garden with Theresa and Candis- the real question is —what does it actually look like to care for your heart, your emotions, and your body as part of your walk with God? We talk about emotional honesty, spiritual bypassing, the connection between faith and physical well-being, and how true growth happens when we stop ignoring what's inside. Your heart is soil. What you tend will grow. This episode is your invitation to slow down, pay attention, and let God meet you in the middle of your healing.

Welcome back to Cup of Soul, Sisterfriend. Last week we sat in grief. And this week "Freeing the Angry Heart" … Candis and Theresa discuss what is sitting in what often hides underneath it — anger. "I'm angry at my husband." "I'm angry at my parents." "I'm angry at God." Let's tell the truth. Anger is not a sin. But when wounds aren't dealt with God's way, they smolder. And smoldering pain becomes bitterness. In this episode, we talk about righteous anger, wounded pride, the nervous system, and what Jesus shows us about love that is not easily angered. Sisterfriend, anger does not disqualify you. It reveals where healing is needed. Pull up a chair. Let's free the angry heart.

Grief comes as a natural part of life. But when you lose someone you love, navigating grief can feel heavy, confusing, and isolating. This week's episode of Cup of Soul, Candis and Theresa step into Chapter 12: Healing the Broken Heart from The Garden Within. This is a tender, honest conversation about grieving well— holding faith and feelings together, making room for sadness, and finding healing through connection and presence. If grief is close to your heart right now, this episode is for you. 🎧 Listen, breathe, and know—you're not alone.

The Garden Within: Caring for the Temple God Intentionally Designed God was intentional when He designed you. Your body. Your emotions. Your nervous system. Your inner world. Nothing about you was assembled casually. In this episode of Cup of Soul- Theresa and Candis are back into the book - The Garden Within, "Chapter 11  we explore what it means to tend the inner garden God intentionally designed — not occasionally, but faithfully. Together, we reflect on: • Why ongoing care is part of God's original design • How boundaries protect what is sacred • Why pruning is preparation, not punishment • How emotions function as signals, not enemies • The patience of growth through the image of the walnut tree • The body as both garden and temple Drawing from Scripture, embodiment theology, and insights inspired by The Garden Within, this conversation invites you to slow down and examine how you are caring for what God entrusted to you. If you've been feeling overgrown, depleted, disconnected, or overly critical of yourself — this episode is a gentle call back to design. "What feels overgrown is still owned by God."

 The Wisdom of Trees: When God Is Ahead and You're Still Waiting What if the waiting isn't a setback — but a strategy? In this episode of Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis slow down and sit with a powerful truth from Chapter 10: The Wisdom of Trees — God knows the end before the beginning, and the Creator is way ahead of you. If you've been feeling rushed, weary, or unsure why things haven't moved yet, this conversation is for you. Together, we reflect on how trees grow without panic, how seasons shape strength, and why God often deepens roots before producing fruit. We also weave in insights from God Isn't in a Hurry by Warren Wiersbe (Chapters 1–3), reminding us that God's pace is intentional, never careless. Winter seasons don't cancel growth — they concentrate it. This episode invites you to pause, listen, and reflect as we ask: Where are you rushing an outcome God is still growing underground? Pull up a chair, take a deep breath, and let this conversation anchor your soul in trust, patience, and hope.    

The wilderness is familiar territory for many of us. It's not always loud suffering. Sometimes it's quiet waiting. Sometimes it's confusion, fatigue, or the feeling that life moved forward—without you. In this week's episode of A Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis continue their journey through The Garden Within with an honest, hope-filled conversation about the wilderness seasons of life—what they are, why we get stuck there, and how God meets us in the middle of them. The wilderness is not a punishment. And it's not meant to be home. We talk about: • Why women get stuck in survival mode • How God uses waiting to form us • Why faith and mental health support belong together • How to trust God's timing when it feels painfully slow If you're in a wilderness right now, this conversation is for you. Pull up a chair, Sisterfriend—hope still grows here.

What do you do when life feels unstable—but you're still expected to keep going? In this week's episode of A Cup of Soul, Candis and Theresa step into Shaky Ground—a tender, hope-filled conversation about trauma, healing, and the wisdom of the body. Flowing directly from last week's episode, Dust of the Ground, this discussion invites you to slow down, breathe, and acknowledge what your soul may still be carrying. Together, we explore why trauma is real, why your pain makes sense, and how healing begins with safety, rest, and honest connection—with God and with others. Shaky ground doesn't mean weak faith. It means something disrupted what once felt stable. There's no pressure to fix everything. No rush to move on. Just an invitation to tilt the soil—one breath, one prayer, one gentle step at a time. You're not behind. You're not broken. God is already at work beneath the surface. Pull up a chair. Take a sip. Meet us here—at A Cup of Soul. ☕🌱

Dust of the Ground: Where Emotions, Faith, and the Body Meet A Cup of Soul with Theresa & Candis . What if your emotions aren't a spiritual problem to fix—but a sacred message to tend? . In this week's episode of A Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis invite you into a grace-filled, Scripture-anchored conversation about how God designed us as embodied beings—formed from the dust of the ground and filled with His breath. . Drawing from Genesis 2:7, this episode explores the powerful connection between body, soul, and spirit, and why emotions don't live in the mind alone—they are experienced in the body. Together, we talk about fear, grief, anxiety, numbness, exhaustion, and why these responses are not signs of weak faith, but signals that God cares about. . You'll hear: • Why emotions often show up physically • How the body "keeps score" during stress, trauma, and prolonged pressure • Why bypassing the body can hinder healing in faith spaces • How Jesus modeled embodied emotion—and deep trust • Why listening to your body can be an act of worship, not self-centeredness • How Scripture, community, rest, and support work together in healing . This episode is especially for the woman who has been powering through, serving faithfully, and smiling on the outside while carrying unspoken tension on the inside. It's an invitation to come to Jesus whole, not edited. . If you've ever wondered whether your emotions are spiritual—or if your body responses matter to God—this conversation is for you. . Sisterfriend, you need to pull up a chair for this one. 

What if the place you've been trying to fix is the very place God is healing? In this 40-minute conversation, Theresa & Candis invite you back to the table for a gentle, honest discussion about wholeness, emotional healing, and the quiet work God does beneath the surface. Drawing from The Garden Within (Chapter 7), the Heart of David, and Scripture, we explore how God tends the soil of our hearts—how emotions live in the body, why pruning is care (not punishment), and how healing doesn't erase emotion, it redeems it. 🌱 We also reflect on One Word for the Year—not as something to perform, but as a seed God is growing, often first underground. If you're tired of fixing and ready for wholeness, this episode is for you. ☕ Pull up a chair, Sisterfriend. What God heals, He reveals. 🎧 Listen now.

This week's episode of the Cup of Soul .... What if the reason you're exhausted isn't because you're doing too little—but because you're being watered incorrectly?  In Deeply Rooted – Water, Water Everywhere, Theresa and Candis continue their journey through The Garden Within by Dr. Anita Phillips, exploring what it truly means to be sustained, not just surrounded, by spiritual truth. This episode unpacks the danger of internal war, the myth of compartmentalized living, and why God designed us as integrated beings—mind, body, heart, spirit, and relationships. Through Scripture, therapy wisdom, and powerful imagery, this conversation invites you to examine your watering systems, your belief patterns, and the kind of "water" you've been drinking. If you've ever felt dry while still doing all the right spiritual things, this episode is for you. . 💧 Are you actually drinking what gives life—or just standing near it?

Where Is Your Face Showing Up? | Reflection Over Performance In this episode of The Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis slow the pace and invite you into a sacred pause. Sitting with Chapter 6 of The Garden Within by Anita Phillips, we explore the difference between reflection and performance—not how life looks on the outside, but what it's quietly revealing on the inside. Rooted in Proverbs 27:19, "As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart," this conversation gently asks: What is your life reflecting right now? Together, we talk about emotions as messengers, not enemies; awareness without shame; and why constant performance eventually drains the soul while presence restores it. We name the places where we may be showing up out of pressure instead of peace—and where God is inviting us to live from grace, not striving. This episode is for the woman who feels tired of holding it all together, for the leader who loves deeply but feels stretched thin, and for anyone longing to tend their inner garden with honesty and care. In this episode, we explore: Reflection vs. performance—and why it matters What your reactions and rhythms are revealing about your heart The cost of being "everywhere" without being fully present Grace as a gift that is received, not earned Why Girl Talk Ministries exists as a space for wholeness, not perfection We close with a reflective question and a prayer, inviting you to show up with presence instead of pressure—and to let God tend what He's already healing. Pull up a chair. Take a breath. You're welcome at the table. ☕️

In this week's Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis continue the conversation from Chapter 5, "How Does Your Garden Grow," exploring what it really means to tend the inner garden of our hearts. Your heart is the soil of your life—and growth doesn't happen by accident. Together, we talk about setting up a spiritual "watering system" through faith-based self-care like prayer, Scripture, worship, and community. We also unpack the beauty and challenge of pruning—how God lovingly removes what hinders growth so that more fruit can flourish. This episode invites you to reflect on the condition of your heart, examine your soil, and consider what God may be growing, trimming, or restoring in this season. True beauty, real healing, and lasting fruit always begin from the inside out. Take a moment to pause, listen, and ask yourself: How is my garden growing? or Do I want to grow? 

Cup of Soul with Theresa & Candis Episode: Prepare the Soil: What Are You Growing This Year?     Are you ready for a fresh start this year? On this episode of Cup of Soul, Theresa and Candis explore how to prepare your heart for growth, inspired by Chapter 5 of The Garden Within by Dr. Anita Phillips. Using the joyful imagery of Tabitha Brown's Tab Time, they show how growth can be simple, childlike, and deeply joyful—like a tiny seed becoming a flourishing tree with just good soil and water.     They discuss the "garden within," your emotional and spiritual space, and the first step to cultivating it: deciding what you want to grow. Choosing your "one word" for the year is a powerful way to plant intentional seeds, but growth also requires tending your soil—what you watch, read, listen to, and who influences your heart.   Theresa and Candis share practical ways to clear emotional clutter, journal, and prepare your inner garden so God can bring the increase. Tune in and start growing what God has planted in your heart this year.

This week's Second Helping is a good one, Theresa and Candis dive into "Ground Zero," a powerful chapter from The Garden Within by Dr. Anita Phillips. If you're trying to grow, heal, or move forward but something keeps pulling you back, this conversation will meet you right where your heart has been stirring. Together, we explore the deeper "soil" of the soul — the beliefs, wounds, memories, and emotions beneath the surface — and what happens when God begins to turn that soil. Through Scripture, Jonah's story, and honest heart work, we unpack this truth: "Sift our Soil: You Can't Grow What You Won't Disturb." Ground Zero isn't destruction — it's reconstruction. It's the holy place where God meets the real you and begins the rebuilding. Get ready for healing, honesty, and a fresh invitation to tend the soil of your heart. Pull up a seat, sisterfriend — wisdom is dropped, truth is shared, and there's enough love for a second helping.
