Making decisions is inevitable in life. Whether big or small, decision-making can be stressful, exhausting, and scary. But what if the decision itself isn't the point? We have been reading a book called “The Next Right Thing” by Emily P Freeman, and today we're gonna dive into some of the topics covered in the first few chapters. This book has been very eye-opening and helpful in the midst of craziness and new seasons. In the midst of a big change or a decision that needs to be made, it's important to acknowledge our fears, make space for God to speak, and remember that we don't need to worry about every detail of the future, but rather where God has us right now. It's all about trusting that God is with you as you walk in obedience and take the next right step.

Body image is something almost everyone struggles with — especially young women — but it’s rarely talked about honestly in the church. In this episode, Abigail sits down with returning guest Emily Gulliford to talk about body image, food, comparison, stewardship, and how faith reshapes the way we see ourselves.

Together they explore:

Why body image is such a universal struggle

How social media fuels unrealistic expectations

The difference between stewarding your body and obsessing over it

How shame around food and appearance is not from God

How the Holy Spirit can guide personal health decisions

Abigail sits down with friends she grew up with in church for a conversation full of honesty, humor, and the kind of stories only lifelong church kids can tell. Together they unpack the pros and cons of growing up in the "pews", the pressure of feeling like you “don’t have a real testimony,” and the moment each of them realized their faith had to become personal — not inherited, not expected, but chosen. The episode ends with a fun “Would You Rather” game that brings out the best kind of chaos. It’s nostalgic, relatable, and full of encouragement for anyone learning to own their faith journey.

In this episode, Abigail and Matt dig into a truth we all need to hear again and again: God doesn’t wait for us to be perfect before He calls us — He meets us even with our rough edges and still chooses to work through us.

- We’re called to reflect Jesus, even when our humanity shows

- God’s love and forgiveness remain steady when we fall short

- The Holy Spirit empowers us to live out our calling

- God delights in using imperfect people to share His perfect love

It’s an encouraging reminder that grace isn’t just something God gives — it’s something He uses to shape us, send us, and strengthen us. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, inconsistent, or too messy to be used by God, this conversation will breathe fresh hope into your heart.
