Send us Fan MailHappy Grad Party Season!

Plus, we get personal — reflecting on what we'd tell our own senior-year selves about trusting God when you can't see where He's leading.Whether you're the senior, the mom, or just someone who needed this reminder — this one's for you.Follow us @lifewaygirls to keep up with all the upcoming fun!Check out our brand new Bible study for college girls: Daughters

Send us Fan MailHealthy ministry is built on intentional, trust-filled relationships—not efficient, well-run programs.When people are the priority, everything shifts. You measure success by life change instead of attendance. You slow down enough to notice needs. You invest deeply instead of spreading yourself thin. Students feel known, leaders feel cared for, and parents feel partnered with—not sidelined.That kind of ministry doesn’t require a certain personality type either. Whether you’re outgoing or introverted, what matters most is consistency, presence, and genuine care. Relationships grow through small, repeated moments of showing up, listening well, and following through.And over time, you realize this: the most meaningful impact rarely comes from what you planned—it comes from how you showed up for people along the way.Need a resource?

Send us Fan MailIt was such an honor to sit down with Kyla Gillespie as she shared her story of gender dysphoria, transitioning, de-transitioning, and how the church played a role in her salvation and transformation. Her testimony of God at work in her life should compel us to love our students wrestling with gender confusion and shape the way we minister and disciple them.Check our her newest book: TransFormedNow an international speaker and founder of Renewed & Transformed ministries, Kyla Gillespie's highest hope is that God might use her story to reveal He is big enough, good enough, and smart enough to guide any struggler—and that life in Christ is worth every moment of the struggle. “May others who find themselves in my shoes earnestly consider Christ who is worth it no matter the cost,” she declares, “and may the Church be there to love and disciple them like it did me. If anyone wonders if transformation and freedom is possible, here is my account of God’s redemptive and glorious work through his Word and his people.”For questions, reach out to us at [email protected].

I'm a relentlessly curious problem solver who's at his best beside a whiteboard, with a unique knack for bringing order from chaos.I've worn a lot of hats throughout my journey: leading strategy for a large non-profit, coordinating complex building projects, and developing digital tools with millions of users. I've found that no one discipline exists in a vacuum, and the best solutions often come from thinking outside the box (and sometimes even outside the norm). Those are the projects that excite me.As a lifelong native of the Nashville area, the one thing I've failed at is learning guitar (though I'm still trying). Otherwise, I'm a big nerd who loves Nintendo, novels, and sci-fi movies. My wife (Lauren) is an incredible graphic designer, and our kids are creative forces of their own. On the weekends, you can find us active in our church, discovering new adventures, and probably trying to get our cat out of a tree.

Send us Fan MailMinistry doesn’t make us immune to struggle or weakness. In this episode, we talk honestly about what it feels like to lead, teach, and disciple others while still wrestling with anxiety ourselves. When the world treats weakness like failure, it’s easy for ministry leaders to feel hypocritical, exposed, or alone. But Scripture reminds us that God does not abandon us in our weakness—He meets us there.Together we talk about where leaders can find help for themselves, how churches can walk faithfully with those struggling with anxiety, and practical ways to care for someone else in the battle against anxiety. Made to Tremble is AVAILABLE NOW! Make sure to follow us @lifewaygirls

Send us Fan MailIf you've ever had a leader or friend break your trust or let you down, you're not alone. Unfortunately, even in ministry, we are not immune to the pain of broken relationships and imperfect leaders. The question we must ask ourselves is, "How do we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus?"In a world that pushes us to run or hide from our Shepherd every moment of church hurt and broken trust, our invitation in this episode is to run to Him.  We are so grateful for Courtney Reissig sharing her own church experiences in this episode. Resource Highlight: Someone to Believe InCourtney Reissig is a writer and bible teacher living in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever sat across from a friend or co-worker, knowing you needed to say something—but instead, you stayed silent?

And what’s the cost when we don’t allow others to speak into our lives?In this episode of His Glory, Her Good, we explore how to navigate those awkward or tense conversations with grace and truth.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it look like to hold both joy and sorrow at the same time? In this episode, we sit down with author and therapist, Nicole Zasowski, to talk about the tensions of hope and heartbreak, grief and goodness, and the power of celebration in the life of a leader.Nicole shares encouragement for women in  ministry who feel the weight of the world or the fear of the unknown, reminding us that joy is not a denial of reality but a choice rooted in truth. We explore how to lead when negativity surrounds us, why celebration carries deep theological significance (and isn’t just “elementary”), and what practical rhythms can help us cultivate joy in our everyday lives.Whether you need fresh hope for your ministry, courage to face change, or simply a reminder that joy is available here and now, this conversation with Nicole will leave you encouraged and equipped.Check out Nicole's Bible Study for women, Daring Joy! For questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

Send us Fan MailJohn 10:10 reminds us that there is an enemy "steal and kill and destroy," yet the Lord has offered us a different way - an abundant way.
