In this episode, we sit down with author and speaker Tracy Harper to talk about identity, validation, and learning to live from God’s voice rather than the noise around us. Tracy shares the heart behind her book From Him, Not Them and offers wisdom for women—especially young Christian women—who are navigating faith, pressure, and purpose in a world full of competing voices.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What inspired Tracy to write From Him, Not Them and the personal journey behind the message
• The meaning of the title—and who “them” represents in our everyday lives
• Why so many young Christian women struggle with validation, even when they’ve grown up in church
• How Tracy vulnerably shares about her past struggle with an eating disorder that stemmed from a desire for control during a season of feeling unworthy.
• Subtle signs that we may be looking to people instead of God for identity, approval, or direction
• What Tracy calls “counterfeit guides” and how they quietly shape our decisions and self-worth
• How to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit amid emotions, fears, and outside influence
• Encouragement for the woman who feels like she has to earn her worth or prove her value

This episode is an invitation to pause, listen, and realign—learning to receive identity and direction from Him, not from the expectations or opinions of others.

A new year brings fresh possibilities, but before rushing forward, it invites us to pause.

In this episode of Sisters on Purpose, we kick off the new year by creating space to reflect on the season behind us, reset what feels misaligned, and renew our hearts, minds, and intentions for what’s ahead. This is not about resolutions driven by pressure or perfection, but about choosing purpose, peace, and presence as we step into a new chapter.

Together, we talk about letting go of what no longer serves us, honoring the lessons we’ve learned, and embracing the hope that comes with intentional renewal. Whether you’re feeling excited, weary, or somewhere in between, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

If you’re longing to begin the year grounded instead of rushed, aligned instead of overwhelmed, and hopeful instead of heavy, this episode is for you.

Listen in and start the year on purpose.

Every life has its seasons—times of planting, waiting, pruning, and harvest. In this episode, we explore how God uses every season, even the quiet and hidden ones, to cultivate something beautiful in us.

So often, we long to see fruit before it’s time, forgetting that growth happens beneath the surface. Winter, though barren on the outside, is never wasted. It’s where roots deepen, character forms, and unseen transformation takes place. In this season of Thanksgiving, and soon Advent, we are invited to slow down, celebrate the harvest, and make space for that unseen work of God.

Through candid conversation, and personal stories, we’ll talk about:

• The importance of seasons
• The beauty of the harvest
• Sowing seeds today to reap tomorrow
• Trusting through the waiting
• Unseen growth in winter
• The gift of Advent

Whether you’re in a season of abundance or barrenness, this episode is an invitation to trust the One who ordains both. Your season has purpose.

Listen in and be reminded: God is faithfully working in every season of your life.

Family is one of the greatest gifts God gives us — but it also requires intentional effort, grace, and courage to protect it. In this episode, we explore what it means to fight for your family through a biblical lens, the necessity to create healthy boundaries while still pursuing relationships, and when it’s necessary to disrupt comfort to preserve what matters most.

We talk about:

• God’s intention for family
• The choice to fight for not with family
• How to become unoffendable
• The power of prayer over family
• The importance of truth and confrontation in healing brokenness
• Realigning priorities to protect unity and purpose

Family is worth fighting for — not through control or fear, but through love, truth, and commitment. Sometimes fighting for family means setting boundaries, seeking reconciliation, and trusting God’s plan through the discomfort.

In this heartfelt episode, we share Jeannette’s powerful story of walking through the unexpected challenge of a brain tumor. Through the ups and downs of diagnosis, surgery, and recovery, Jeannette leaned into the strength of her faith, the love of her family, and the support of her community.

She also opens up about her current project, writing a book that not only chronicles her journey but also weaves in original reflections, comments, and quotes from those who walked alongside her. In addition, Jeannette shares how songwriting became a lifeline, with songs written before, during, and after her experience that continue to speak hope and healing.

This is more than a medical story, it’s a testimony of perseverance, creativity, and the kind of faith that carries us through life’s hardest battles.

Join us as our oldest and youngest sisters join the conversation at the close of our 2025 sister weekend. We dive into the details, lessons, and special moments we shared. The recording was done at our Airbnb, so it’s a bit raw and unpolished, but it was such a treat having all six of us together, even if our quieter eldest sister mostly just listened. We also did a fun activity at “The House of Colour,” where we learned which season best suits our undertones for clothing and makeup. You’ll have to listen to find out which season we all are!
