Sometimes God uses a sermon. Sometimes He uses a Scripture you’ve read a hundred times.

And apparently, sometimes He uses Mister Rogers.

A random song on Mae Mae’s playlist turned into a reminder Joyce didn’t know she needed: there is a song for every fear.

That little song about being too big to go down the bathtub drain led straight to the Psalms—and to the realization that David was writing songs for scared people long before Mister Rogers ever did.

The Psalms don’t pretend the valley isn’t real. They don’t skip the questions, the fear, the overwhelm or even the moments when God seems quiet. They remind us who is walking through it with us.

Maybe peace doesn’t always come because the scary thing disappears. Maybe sometimes it comes because we remember who our Shepherd is.

Whatever feels too big today, you are not walking through it alone. And no, friend. You are not going down the drain.

We love asking God to rescue us.

We’re just not always crazy about the route He chooses.

What if deliverance looks like walking between two walls of water? What if rescue takes you straight through the furnace? What if the answer to “Help me” is a road you never would have chosen for yourself?

In this episode, Joyce, Judy, and Amie talk about trusting God when His rescue doesn’t look—or feel—anything like the one we had in mind.

Joyce admits she’d like to keep one hand on the steering wheel and she and Judy take us through some of Scripture’s most terrifying rescues. Amie reminds us that sometimes God hands us a shovel when we ask Him to move a mountain. And the conversation gets deeply personal when Joyce shares how God met her in one of the darkest moments of her life.

Maybe faith isn’t trusting the route. Maybe it’s trusting the Rescuer.

Episode 09 | Pigs & Pearls

Sometimes the problem isn’t that you don’t know what to do. It's that you’re trying to do all of it.

Joyce, Judy, and Amie started this episode with Matthew 7 and absolutely no idea where the conversation was headed.

Ask. Seek. Knock.

But before Jesus said those words, He talked about judging others, getting the plank out of your own eye, not throwing your pearls before swine—and something women everywhere could probably stand to hear again: Do not worry.

Before long, the girls are talking about planks and specks, worry and boundaries, Mary and Martha, serving versus sitting still, and the pressure women put on themselves to be everything for everybody.

And somewhere in the middle, one little word changes the conversation: Wait.

Maybe the answer isn’t to try harder, serve everybody, fix everything, or worry yourself into a solution. Maybe it’s learning where to give your pearls—and trusting God with the pigs.

Where are you giving away pearls God never asked you to give?

Maybe you’re trying to fix everybody, carrying responsibilities that aren’t yours, worrying about tomorrow, or comparing the way you serve God with somebody else.

What would change if you asked, sought, knocked—and then trusted Him enough to wait? Tell the girls what stood out to you, and share this episode with a girlfriend who may need permission to put down somebody else’s plank.
