Girl Talk

“America is not the Church.”

That statement might feel surprising at first — but it’s an important one.

In this episode, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about what it really means to see the Church the way Jesus does: global, diverse, and not confined to one nation or culture. It’...

“The only thing worse than waiting on God is wishing that you had.”

Have you ever felt like God went quiet?

You’re praying. You’re reading your Bible. You’re doing “all the right things.” And still… nothing. No clear direction. No breakthrough. Just silence.

“Jesus unlocked the prison door. We don’t have to keep living inside the cell.”

Freedom in Christ sounds beautiful… but what does it actually mean? In this episode, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia unpack what we’re truly free from - and why so many of us still live like we’re stuck in a prison cell with the door ...

AI is everywhere - from our phones to our searches to the voices answering our questions - and today the Girl Talk crew leans into the conversation so many of us are already having: Is artificial intelligence helpful… or harmful? Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk honestly about what AI is, how people are using it, and where it starts...

“God’s Word heals; it was never meant to be used as a hammer.”

Have you ever heard a verse used in a way that just didn’t sit right? In this conversation, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about how easy it is to twist Scripture—sometimes unintentionally, sometimes to prove a point—and why that can be so damaging. From cherry-picking verses to u...

“Detours don’t mean you missed God. Sometimes they mean He’s doing deeper work.”

We all love a good plan — but what happens when life doesn’t follow the route we mapped out? In this episode of Girl Talk, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about creating a spiritual roadmap — not one that guarantees ease or clarity, but one that keeps us grounded when the detours come. Becaus...

“God won’t bless an idol, but He will lovingly invite you to lay it down.”

This is a LIVE recording of Girl Talk Podcast from Girl Talk LIVE in Franklin, NC at the Smoky Mountain Center for Performing Arts.

Let’s be honest—most of us don’t love the word surrender. It sounds like giving up, failing, or losi...

Discerning God’s will can feel overwhelming — especially at the start of a new year. Is it about big decisions? Small ones? And how do you actually hear from God? In this episode, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk honestly about listening for God’s voice, learning to slow down, and discovering that God’s will is often revealed one faithful step at a time.

From seasons of stopping and resting...

“Loving your neighbor doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to be intentional.”

Sometimes revival looks a less like a packed church and a lot more like knowing your neighbor’s name. In this episode of Girl Talk, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about the people God has already placed right around us - the ones ...

“Reflection isn’t about reliving failures—it’s about recognizing where God was faithful.”

As the calendar flips from December to January, the girls talk honestly about something many of us feel but don’t always say out loud: the January blues. The holidays are over, the lights are down, the weather is gray, and...

Christmas isn’t all twinkle lights and matching pajamas — and honestly, neither is the original Christmas story. In this week’s episode, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia unwrap the mess of that first Christmas: a teenage girl with a world-shaking calling, a confused fiancé, a grueling journey under Roman oppression, no room ...

“Perfection is grabbing tight. Surrender is letting go.”

Perfection steals joy faster than a toddler steals snacks. And this time of year? Whew. It creeps into our celebrations, our families, our expectations, and even our walk with Jesus.

In this episode, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia get super hones...

Christmas comes fast, doesn’t it? One minute it’s fall leaves and football… the next it’s gift bags, school parties, and the constant feeling that you should be doing more. This week, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk honestly about something we all feel: how hard it can be to slow down long enough to actually prepare our hearts for Jesus at Christmas.

“Most of us want God’s will… as long as it looks like our will.”

Some questions sound simple… until you try to live them out.
This week, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia dive into the big one: Is God really all we need… or do our lives quietly say otherwise?

The ladies get honest abou...

“You’re never too old, too busy, or too late for God to use your gifts.”

Do you know what your spiritual gift is?
This week, Carol, Kelly, and Tricia talk about the gifts God gives each of us — not the kind you wrap up with a bow, but the kind that build up the body of Christ. The girls break down what spiritual gifts are (and aren’t), how to discover yours, and why using them b...

“Freedom is found when you stop gripping and start trusting.”

Are you living with abandon or with abandonment? That’s the question we’re asking this week on Girl Talk.
