She Lives Purposefully
As Christian women, sometimes we can feel lonely in our walk with Christ. Do you feel that way? Spoiler alert: it’s not true and this is the podcast to prove it. I’m Megan Edmonds, your new Christian friend who cheers you on in your walk with Christ because I believe God has given you this one life to know Him, love Him, and live for Him purposefully. Each week, we will chat about all different areas of life from a Jesus loving perspective - relationships, faith doubts, emotions, parenthood, health and hormones, anxiety, and more! I share my own experiences and practical ways to grow in our relationship with God. Join me every Thursday as we take this walk with Christ together!

What should Christians be known for? Not success. Not blessings. Not perfection. Not gifts.
Jesus makes it clear: we are to be known by the love we have one for another.
In this episode, we’re diving into why love is the true marker of a Christian life, what loving others actually looks like—beyond clichés, comfort, and convenience, asking ourselves the hard (and heart) questions, and what holds us back from loving well.

Kara shares:

This episode is not about self-condemnation, but about loving reflection, truth, and encouragement.

Anxiety and fear can feel overwhelming — and for many Christians, they can even feel like a failure of faith. In this episode, we talk about how to rest in God instead of anxiety, take fear’s authority away from our thoughts and decisions (through Scripture), and trust God with our future.
I’m joined by Maddie Joy Fischer, Live Original Ambassador, author, and Christian influencer and content creator, for an honest conversation ab...

“God, what do you have for me?”
In today’s conversation, we’re reframing the idea of “calling” through Scripture and real life.
We’ll look at biblical examples like Joseph and David, who weren’t chasing titles or platforms — they were simply doing the next right thing, trusting God, and stewarding what He had already given them.
In this episode, we talk about:
What the Bible actually teaches about calling and purpose

More intimacy. More obedience. More surrender. More purpose.

In this episode of She Lives Purposefully, I’m opening up about a season that’s very real for me right now — a season of waiting, uncertainty, and trusting God when I don’t know what’s next.
As we welcome a new baby and care for our little one, I’ve found myself returning to these unshakable truths:
Seek God first. Before the blessing, before the next step — seek Him. (Matthew 6:33)
Stay in His Word. God’s Word lights the p...

In this episode, we tackle not just the “can I?” questions many Christians wrestle with but the “should I?” — Halloween, yoga, drinking, and more.
Scripture tells us we’re free in Christ (1 Corinthians 6, Romans 14, Galatians 5)… but Scripture also tells us that freedom doesn’t mean everything is beneficial or glorifies God.
We cover questions to ask yourself when it comes to “SHOULD I?”:
Asking if this will stumble someone...

The Bible tells us that the enemy prowls like a roaring lion — but many of his attacks and temptations to sin sneak in.
A flicker of envy at a friend’s house, a small moment of discouragement while cooking dinner, a quiet thought that says, “Why not me, God?”
In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to be on guard against Satan’s work — envy, ungratefulness, bitterness, laziness, gossip — and how to pivot, with the power of ...
