“Loving your neighbor doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be intentional.”

Sometimes revival looks a less like a packed church and a lot more like knowing your neighbor’s name. In this episode of Girl Talk, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about the people God has already placed right around us - the ones across the street, next door, or a few houses down. It’s a simple but powerful reminder: loving our neighbors isn’t extra credit for Christians, it’s the assignment.

From neighborhood potlucks and hurricane cookouts to prayer walks, small gifts, and even Ring-camera dance routines, the girls share practical, doable ways to build real relationships where we live. This conversation will encourage you to slow down, step outside, and see your neighborhood as holy ground — because Jesus is already at work there.

“Reflection isn’t about reliving failures—it’s about recognizing where God was faithful.”

As the calendar flips from December to January, the girls talk honestly about something many of us feel but don’t always say out loud: the January blues. The holidays are over, the lights are down, the weather is gray, and suddenly the excitement is gone. Carol, Kelly, and Tricia unpack why this season can feel heavy—even when you love Jesus—and why that doesn’t mean you’re doing faith “wrong.”

This conversation is full of practical wisdom and grace: reflecting instead of replaying failures, setting intentions instead of resolutions, learning when to say no, and finding joy right where you are. It’s a reminder that God is just as present in the quiet, darker seasons as He is in the celebratory ones—and that sometimes the most meaningful growth happens there.

REMEMBER

• Reflection builds faith, not shame. Looking back with gratitude helps us see what God has already done instead of only focusing on what went wrong.

• Habits matter more than hype. Small, faithful choices shape who we’re becoming far more than big January goals ever will.

• The quiet seasons aren’t wasted. God often speaks most clearly when life slows down, the calendar clears, and we stop running.

Christmas isn’t all twinkle lights and matching pajamas — and honestly, neither is the original Christmas story. In this week’s episode, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia unwrap the mess of that first Christmas: a teenage girl with a world-shaking calling, a confused fiancé, a grueling journey under Roman oppression, no room at the inn, a stable full of animals, and a Savior who chose to arrive in the lowest, humblest place possible.

This conversation will remind you that God moves in the unexpected, He works through “no’s,” He meets us in the middle of our chaos, and He loves every single person more than we can imagine. If your Christmas feels far from picture-perfect, you are right in the kind of story God loves to step into.

1. God isn’t afraid of your mess.
   The Christmas story proves that He steps right into the unexpected, uncomfortable, and imperfect.

2. Every detail reveals His heart.
   From shepherds to stables, God intentionally chose what the world overlooks to show that everyone matters to Him.

3. His plans may look upside-down, but they’re always better.
   He defies expectations so He can display His goodness, creativity, and grace in ways we never could imagine.
