Say It Ain't So
May 10, 2023 04:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MBJoin us as we talk on insecurities as women! It's so easy to get a thought in our minds and not let it go. We instead allow it to fester up and cause us more problems. Sometimes we even allow it to consume us and control us. What God says about you is the only thing that matters! You are made in the image of God and you are beautiful. Stop doubting your beauty, stop doubting your calling, stop doubting your parenting, stop doubting being a wife. You are capable, called and chosen!
Ride or Die
May 03, 2023 04:00 - 26 minutes - 18.1 MBWhen looking up "ride or die" in Urban Dictionary it says: when you are willing to do anything for someone you love or someone you really appreciate in your life. The person who you stand by in any problem and vice versa. The term "ride till the end or die trying" Friendships should be thick and thin. In all seasons, the good and the bad, the highs and the lows. We often are scared to let anyone too close because we worry our problems will scare them off or we worry that they'll hurt us...
Prepare and Let God Lead
April 19, 2023 04:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBHow often do you prepare for things? Rather it be meal prepping for the week, preparing for a test, preparing for a job, preparing for your calling. You must prepare in order for it to be successful. For me personally, if I don't meal prep for the week, I fail miserably at not having healthy foods to eat and I'm more likely to run out and get fast food for lunch. Preparation takes prayer, preparation isn't always easy. It takes discipline and obedience. But God prepares every detail ...
Walk It Out
April 12, 2023 04:00 - 25 minutes - 17.6 MBWe are back after a much needed spring break off! It's hard to believe this is episode 10 in season 5. I'm sure you've all heard of walk the talk before. We are good at talking the walk but are we actually walking the talk? We know the right things to say to other people in their trials and difficulties but we don't always use those in our own lives when walking through the very things. In this episode we talk on walking it out in your relationship with Christ, your trauma and your pu...
Deal to Heal
March 29, 2023 04:00 - 23 minutes - 16.2 MBToday we are talking forgiveness. Forgiveness is hard and quite frankly we are all guilty of holding grudges and not wanting to forgive. How often have you said, I'll forgive you but I'll never forget? We both have! But in those situations, do we truly even forgive them? In this episode we get honest about situations in our own lives that have caused us to store up bitterness and un-forgiveness. We talk about realizing the need to forgive and the freedom that comes with doing so. Je...
The Refiner
March 22, 2023 04:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MBToday we talk about how God refines us through the fire. When we look up the definition of it, it says: To remove impurities or unwanted elements from Spiritually: To become pure or perfected The refining process is painful! It's uncomfortable and generally it's something no one wants to go through. Many times in scripture, those who were in the midst of the refining process praised God in the affliction and fire. When is the last time you praised God in the middle of your pain? It's i...
Prepare For Battle
March 15, 2023 04:00 - 24 minutes - 17.1 MBWe've all fought battles in our lives. We all have battles we will face in the future. You may be in the middle of a battle right now. Whichever option youre looking at right now, know that there are ways to prepare to walk through the battle and know that you aren't walking through it alone. When we are equipped for battle just as soldiers are for war, we are able to fight with wisdom. Today we discuss the mental work that comes with preparing for the battle. God has blessed us with t...
Blended Families
March 08, 2023 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MBOver the years we've had a few request for us to talk on blended families. The day has finally come and we're gathering around the table to discuss it! We are by no means experts on this topic but we do have our own stories and situations we've faced over the years in our own blended families. Tune in as we share our hearts, how we've had difficult situations arise and how we worked through it to make good change in our homes. We know that blended families aren't easy but we can rest ...
Let's Talk Marriage
March 01, 2023 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MBWe know marriage can be a touchy subject, especially if today is one of those days you and your husband got in an argument over who was supposed to do the laundry, clean the house, put gas in the car, pay the bills, etc! We do not have it all together, we have fights with our husbands, we experience miscommunication and we will certainly never get it all right. We are no marriage experts but we are two women who've been married, divorced and remarried. We've learned from our own experien...
Hope In The Unknown
February 22, 2023 05:00 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBWe are so excited for today's episode with our first Guest of the season! Tune in as we sit down at the table with Frankie Gene and discuss finding hope in the unknown. Frankie is a wife, mom, entrepreneur, CrossFit fanatic and Panthers fan. There are so many uncertainties surrounding us every single day and we all have a story to tell. Frankie has her own story of uncertainty, struggles and diagnosis and remained faithful in her relationship with God. She went through some very gut wre...
Celebrate You
February 15, 2023 05:00 - 22 minutes - 15.7 MBCelebrations are fun, right? When we think of celebrations, we think of confetti, streamers and cake or at least I do! But when it comes to celebrating in our own lives the achievements, accomplishments and victories, we have a hard time. In this episode we talk on the importance of celebrating yourself no matter how big or small. No victory is too small to celebrate. If you have breath in your lungs, it's worth celebrating!
Better Not Bitter
February 08, 2023 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MBHave you ever anticipated biting into your favorite fruit for the sweet juicy taste only to be disappointed by the extremely bitter taste? We have too and it's not good! In this episode we discuss roots of bitterness that have planted in our own lives and what it looks like to walk through those, begin to heal and do better for ourselves. Bitterness robs us of walking in our calling and purpose. It keeps us chained down and shackled. It puts us in a place the enemy enjoys watching us ...
Roll Call
February 01, 2023 05:00 - 24 minutes - 16.9 MBWelcome to Season Five! The time has finally come that we are reunited once again and goodness are we excited. We have been taking a much needed break while we've been going through changes in our own lives and working through things. We've truly just been seeking God in our absence. Do you ever feel absent, like you only have so much to give to others? We have been there too friends! We often get so busy we deplete ourselves quickly. Good news! You can rest in God's promises and b...

Paid In Full
November 10, 2021 05:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBWeek 6: It's All Under Control. We cannot believe we are at the end of this book. We have enjoyed it so much and learned a lot along the way. We hope you have as well. This week we are talking about plans, pinings and a promise. Jesus already paid every single one of our debts in full when He died on the cross. Too often, we forget that! God plants us in a place we never even wanted to be yet find it's what we really need. When Jennifer said that, we were both like, wow how true ...
Rest First
November 07, 2021 18:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBIt's All Under Control Week 5: Do you know that familiar feeling of being placed in the waiting room? Where you sit and play the waiting game. Every time the door opens, your eyes quickly shift to see if it’s your doctor coming out to give you the report on your loved one. It’s not a fun or pleasant feeling. What if we told you that God often places us in the waiting room? The waiting room is a place where we are only told to trust Him to work it all out. There are no hints shared about w...
Quiet My Soul
October 13, 2021 04:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBIt's All Under Control Week 4. Well y'all, this week has been such a good reading. The Lord is working on us and our hearts, teaching us so many things through this study and we hope and pray He is doing the same for you. This week we talk about the importance of quieting our souls so that we can better hear from God. Jennifer writes about Do, Delegate, Dismiss. We've got to allow our schedules to line up with God's plans for us, not ours. Getting caught up in every yes, takes away f...
Unconditional Obedience

We All Have Superpowers
September 29, 2021 04:00 - 45 minutes - 31.5 MBWelcome to Week 2 of It's All Under Control! We hope you are enjoying it and getting as much from it as we are. This week we are talking about superpowers. God designed each of us with a superpower that only we have. I know that's hard to believe but it's true. We compared it to Superwoman, she is the only one who can complete specific tasks, that's why she's relied on. God created you with purpose, He designed you uniquely and specifically for your calling. There is no one else on ...
Free or Frazzled
September 22, 2021 04:00 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBOn today's episode we start week one of It's All Under Control by Jennifer Dukes Lee.

Join us as we dive in deep and start learning more about ourselves and why we feel the need to control e...

Pull The Plug
August 25, 2021 04:00 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MBAre there things in your life that you need to literally pull the plug on? Maybe it's over committing yourself to way too many things, a toxic relationship, a negative situation, thoughts in your mind and so forth. We all can take some time to think of a few things that need to be removed from our lives. Some of our plugs are distractions, keeping us from hearing directly from God. They get in the way and it clouds our way of thinking, talking and even acting at times. Join us on this...
Plug It In
August 18, 2021 13:00 - 21 minutes - 15 MBPlug it in, plug it in. We are so deeply in need of Jesus juice every single day. We need the restoration that He offers us. All we have to do is plug into Him. We don't even have to chase Him down, He is waiting for you and for me. Have you ever been stranded out in the middle of nowhere and your phone dies? Your GPS goes out, you have no idea of how to get to where you're going. You're in a panic and in desperate need of help. In life, we often die because we haven't been plugging o...

He Doesn't Wait For Perfection
May 19, 2021 04:00 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBSeason Finale! Join us for our final episode of season 3 as we speak truth into how and when God uses us. Too often we believe we have to be perfect for God to use us. We get lost in our past and think God could never use someone like us with such a dark and dirty past. God knows what you've been through and God's timing is perfect so if it's now that He wants to use you, then now is the time. Despite everything you've been through, He can and will use you, you just have to be willing....
Contagious Courage
May 12, 2021 04:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MBDo you have a contagious courage? What we mean is during difficult trials we often face in life, do you find yourself courageous in the midst of them? Despite what they look like, do you look to God for help and trust Him to pull you through it? We share something personal to us about a time we had courageous faith. We know that without a relationship with God, courageous faith is nearly impossible to have. Tune in as we share our hearts and some things that help us to be women with a c...
He Is Who He Says He Is
May 05, 2021 04:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBDo you know who God is? Like Who He truly is? On this episode we share only a handful of Who and What God is. When we don't understand Who God is, it's hard to understand what we mean to Him and Who He is to us. We get to know who people are by spending time with them. That's exactly how we get to know God; By spending time with God and reading about Him in scripture. We will be talking about a few attributes of God, as well as sharing scriptures to go along with them. Get your ...
Proverbs 31 Woman
April 28, 2021 04:00 - 24 minutes - 17 MBJoin us on this episode as we dive into what the Proverbs 31 woman means to us and what stands out the most! We discuss how it applies to women in the day and time that we live in and the main focus of what it's all about. It's so easy to get wrapped up in what we feel are rules when reading through Proverbs 31 and if we aren't careful we can miss some pretty amazing things! Tune in if you'd like to hear more about the importance of being a woman living her life for God and what God e...
Look Up
April 21, 2021 04:00 - 22 minutes - 15.3 MBHave you ever pulled in your driveway only to forget how you made it home? Like you don't remember the stop lights you went through or the turns made. Or maybe you missed the beautiful sunflower field on the side of the road or the beautiful tunnel of trees towering over the road. We tend to miss a lot of things in life when we don't look up. We can't keep our heads down, we must keep our eyes fixed on God. He is the Author and Creator of our lives and we need Him just as much as we nee...
It's Always Something
April 14, 2021 04:00 - 21 minutes - 15.1 MBDo you ever feel like when it rains, it pours? You aren't alone! We constantly feel like IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING. One thing after another. Just when things seem to be going great, it's too good to be true and out of nowhere something else comes. Scripture tell us that we are going to go through trials in life. It's just part of living. Until we get to Heaven, we will continuously face things. We also believe that's where our growth comes in at as well. Sometimes we need a good cry a...
No Judgement Zone
April 07, 2021 04:00 - 21 minutes - 14.8 MBHave you ever judged someone? We all can go ahead and raise our hands on this one. There have been times we have judged others when we shouldn’t have and ended up in a similar place regretting that judgement. Maybe you know what it’s like to be judged. It’s not a good feeling and often leaves us feeling inadequate. Remember that feeling the next time you start feeling judgement creep in. It’s so much easier to judge than love. Love takes work. This is a no judgement zone! We shouldn’...
Chain Breaker
March 31, 2021 04:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MBHave you been bound with chains to the things of your past? What we mean is, is there something you're still holding onto and having a hard time getting past? It could be bitterness, resentment, anger, unforgiveness and so on. Whatever it may be, we want you to know that God has the power to break those chains. You do not have to live in bondage to anything from your past. In order to do this, this requires you to surrender it over to God! That won't be easy but you can do it. Tune in...
Compassion Showers Love
March 24, 2021 04:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MBDo you show compassion to others? Have you ever been in a place that you needed others to show it to you? On this episode we talk about the importance of showing compassion and how it starts with a heart shift. God shows compassion to us each and every day and we are expected to do the same for others. In fact, Jesus showed compassion to us all when He died on the cross for our sins. He went through all of that so we didn't have to. It won't be easy and there will be days we don't fe...
There Goes That Dreamer
March 17, 2021 04:00 - 22 minutes - 15.8 MBAre you a dreamer? We are both HUGE dreamers and pursue our dreams with full force! We also both have physical dreams where God often speaks to us. We have learned in life that so many talk down to you when you share your dreams with them and they'll tell you all of the reasons on why it won't work out. You know what though? No one can ever argue with the dream God has placed on your heart. That’s a gift directly from Him. Don't let the naysayers persuade you to give up on your drea...
Sting Of Betrayel
March 10, 2021 05:00 - 20 minutes - 14 MBI think we can all think of a time that we have been betrayed. Betrayal stings and it really messes with our minds. It makes it hard for us to trust again once it's taken place. We talk about how Judas betrayed Jesus and how He continued walking in His calling despite how much that betrayal may have stung Him. In life people hurt us and we hurt them but we have to forgive like Jesus and move forward, not allowing it to paralyze us from doing what we are called to do. Is there someone...
Walking In Your Calling w/Guest Kaitlin Neal
March 03, 2021 05:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBWe have with us our first guest in Season 3! Kaitlin Neal, Founder of The Refuge Retreat joins us as she talks about the calling's God has placed on our lives and what it looks like to walk in them. It takes a lot of patience, trust and hope but God opens those doors and makes a way. God trusted her and her husband with a big calling and they followed His direction in complete obedience. She shares with us how her and her husband moved to the NC Mountains to pursue a calling God had on...
Heart Of Worship
February 24, 2021 05:00 - 24 minutes - 16.6 MBHave you ever been standing in church on Sunday morning during the praise and worship and felt out of it? You had a fight with your spouse on the way to church, your kids weren't getting ready quick enough or misplaced one of their shoes. We've all been there, right? Because of your circumstances you just weren't in the mood to worship God. On this episode we discuss how worship isn't based off our circumstances. We worship because Jesus died on the cross for us, it's as simple as that...
Dancing In The Rain
February 17, 2021 05:00 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBHave you ever gone outside when it was raining and embraced the rain by dancing in it? There is something so freeing and carefree about being out in the rain, of course when you intend on getting wet. Obviously you aren't going to go out there after you've curled your hair. Here in North Carolina, it seems like it has been raining for months. One thing is for sure, we aren't in a drought. While that may be true physically, mentally it seems like we are in a drought because we all know t...
Choose Your Happy
February 10, 2021 05:00 - 20 minutes - 14.3 MBWe all face times in our lives where we are unhappy. Things happen and we are upset, sad, disappointed and frustrated. What we choose to do with that unhappiness is up to us but is also extremely important! In this episode we share personal stories of things that have caused us to be unhappy or worried about things and how we had to make a choice to be happy or let it rule our lives. Happiness is a choice and we want you to know that you should wake up every day and clothe yourself i...
Clean Your Space
February 03, 2021 05:00 - 25 minutes - 17.7 MBWelcome to Season 3 on the podcast, we are so happy to be back! We are diving in and talking about cleaning up your space. Mentally, physically and spiritually we clutter our spaces with unnecessary things. We are sharing how clutter effects us in our personal lives and how breaking from social media and distractions is good for us on all levels. If you are in need of a clean up in your home, in your friendships, in your mind, in your walk with God, in your distractions then this episo...
Season 3 Trailer
January 16, 2021 15:00 - 3 minutes - 2.54 MBWhat's up y'all? We are back after a much needed break away.

Behind The Scenes
December 09, 2020 05:00 - 43 minutes - 29.7 MBWelcome to our last episode of Season 2! We have enjoyed every moment throughout this Season and can not wait until Season 3 in 2021. We are taking a few weeks off to prepare for some pretty amazing things coming up. In this time, we hope that you are able to catch up on any episodes that you may be behind on. This episode is a little different as we went live via Facebook while recording and answered listeners/viewers questions that they had for us! We hope that you'll get to know us...
Unrealistic Expectations
December 02, 2020 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MBHave you ever expected someone to know what you need without asking them? We walk around assuming that others just know our needs and wants and when they don't meet those things for us, we become disappointed in them. WHY? We are so guilty of this ourselves and learning that we can't be mad about those expectations when we aren't expressing them to others to begin with. They can't meet what they don't know. But also we should only expect things from God because God is always good and wo...
Don't Make Assumptions
November 25, 2020 05:00 - 23 minutes - 16.2 MBRaise your hand if you're a gal who often assumes the worst in people or in a situation? Someone gives you a side eye and you're already assuming they don't like you, they have a problem with you or you must of done something for them to of made that face at you. Me, I am that girl! In life we assume so many things. What we should be doing instead of jumping to conclusions is, asking for clarification so our minds don't have space to wander. My brain fuels negative and ugly thoughts tha...
Failure Doesn't Define You
November 18, 2020 05:00 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MBWe often define ourselves of our past mistakes, regrets and choices. Others often do the same for us. We run into that person we went to high school with and try to run the other way because we know exactly what they think of us based off something that happened or the person you were 15+ years ago. It is so easy to get caught up in who we once were or what we once did. We fail at things in life and that's okay. When we are failing, it shows that we are trying new things. I like to tr...
5 Stars
November 11, 2020 05:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBRatings is something that we keep up with regularly. The hotel we are staying at needs 5 stars or better yet, 6 if we're being honest. Restaurants need good ratings in order for us to go there and eat. We often judge a book by it's cover without getting to read the inside ourselves. In life, we often judge other based off what we see. We choose who someone is based off what we think by appearance. We often times base who we are off of our situations in life when really we are who God s...
Rejection Hurts
November 04, 2020 05:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MBHave you ever been rejected? Maybe from a sports team, group of friends, spouse, job, family member or even church? Wherever it may of come from, truth is, rejection hurts! Rejection leaves us with a sting that lingers on and on. It makes us question our self worth and question ourselves with why it happened. We talk about how Jesus' time here on earth came with a lot of rejection for Him. What did He do? He turned the other cheek. He didn't let it stop Him from His mission. He cont...
