Unshakable Moxie is a 6-episode video series that will take you across the United States to meet and be encouraged by women who have learned to rejoice despite their sufferings. There's also an amazing Bible study to do alongside the video series with some of your friends!

We had the opportunity to sit down with two of the hosts and ask them some interview questions based on the series. We'll be posting some of their answers as reels this week, and would love for you to check them out 🫶

Here's the link to learn more!

Most of us grew up with mixed messages about money. Some of us were taught it’s evil. Others were told it’s a sign of God’s favor. Others didn’t hear much about it at all, and now are drowning in stress, shame, or spending.

But here’s the deal: Jesus talked about money more than almost anything else. And not to shame people, but to free them.

When you dig into Scripture, you see a God who cares deeply about your financial reality—not just your bank account, but what it says about your heart.

1. Money isn’t evil, but the love of it is.
“For the love of money is the root of all evil…” (1 Tim 6:10).
Scripture never demonizes money itself. It’s a tool. But when money becomes our deepest desire, it starts to take over our lives and distort our view of God, others, and ourselves. Paul’s warning is not to fear the object of money, but to examine what we love most.

2. God cares how you earn and how you spend.
“Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God” (Mc 6:8).
Whether it’s shady side hustles, exploitative labor, or stingy spending, Scripture calls us to integrity in both earning and giving. Financial faithfulness isn’t just about tithing. It’s about justice, honesty, and generosity in every part of our lives.

3. Jesus talked about money...a lot.
At least 11 of Jesus's over 30 parables mention wealth, debt, or possessions. Jesus knew money touches everything—our anxieties, our decisions, our relationships. That’s why he taught about it so often. Money reveals what we value and where we place our trust.

4. Giving isn’t about guilt—it’s about trust.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Cor 9:7).
God doesn’t want us to give out of fear or guilt. He wants us to give out of trust that he’ll provide for us, and that he can use even small gifts in big ways.

5. Wealth doesn’t equal blessing.
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God” (Lk 6:20).
In God’s kingdom, material success isn’t the ultimate goal. The “blessed life” is one shaped by faith, generosity, and closeness to Jesus, not your bank balance.

When you were little, you got excited for the first day of school. You’d pull on your favorite t-shirt, grab your epic new backpack, and hope your teacher had a class hamster.

Now, though, you’re older. School might still be exciting… but it’s also stressful.

What happens after graduation?

Will you survive that class that everyone fails?

Is this the year you “meet someone”?

And, of course…who’ll you sit with at lunch 😬? And dinner? (‘cause let’s be real, we weren’t up in time for breakfast).

A new school year brings hope, worry, anticipation, uncertainty—or all of the above.

You might not know what these months hold for you. But you can know that, through all the highs and lows, God will be guiding your steps.

So as you pick up books and pick out an outfit, trust God with your fears and dreams for this school year. Here’s a prayer to help you get started.

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).

𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫
Inventor of creation, God of all truth, thank you for the chance to study this world you’ve made. Use this new school year to teach me new things—in my classes, in my relationships, and in my walk with you. From hardcore study sessions to late-night adventures, help me recognize your abundant grace in all circumstances. And when worries about the future overwhelm me, give me courage to abide with you in the present, trusting you with whatever might come. Amen.

“Every time I see a post on sexual sin, my stomach drops. It’s like every bone in my body is triggered, knowing something I read could make me feel guilty again.

I’ll tell you about my experience, why I don’t feel guilty anymore, and why I know you shouldn’t either.” -Margaret Groll

The Lord has been so kind and merciful in placing this message into my heart the last two months.

Oftentimes, we get caught up in our affairs. We worry. We get troubled. We fear the future. As sheep in the flock of the Good Shepherd, we must recognize Him as the only provider, the only protector, and the only comforter.

In His pastures, there is fullness. There is growth. There is purpose.

Budgeting can stir up a lot of feelings—stress, anxiety, guilt, or maybe just overwhelm. Whether you're trying to make ends meet or you're re-evaluating how to spend what you’ve been given, money is never just about math. It's tied to our values, our hopes, our fears, and our ability to trust.

And in a culture that pushes more, newer, faster, it’s easy to feel like what we have isn’t enough. But Scripture reminds us that our security doesn’t come from numbers in a spreadsheet—it comes from the God who promises to provide.

Jesus multiplied loaves and fish. He sent manna to a wilderness people. And today, he still invites us to rely on him, not just in spiritual matters, but in the very practical ones, too.

If you’re budgeting this week, staring at receipts, spreadsheets, or bank apps, here’s a prayer to help you breathe deep, seek wisdom, and remember that every dollar is part of a story God is writing with you.

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you’” (Hebrews 13:5).

𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
Faithful Provider, you multiplied loaves and fish and taught your people to gather just what they need. As I look at my finances, calm my anxieties, align my priorities, and teach me wisdom and discernment. Help me trust you in times of plenty and times of need. And may I remember that all I have is yours, meant to be stewarded with gratitude and generosity. Amen.

What’s a Bible verse that’s been meaningful to you lately?

GENEROSITY IS GRATITUDE IN ACTION

Live a thankful life. Give openhandedly.

"God can pour on the blessings in astonishing ways so that you’re ready for anything and everything, more than just ready to do what needs to be done. As one psalmist puts it,

He throws caution to the winds,
giving to the needy in reckless abandon.
His right-living, right-giving ways
never run out, never wear out.

This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God" (2 Corinthians 9:8-11, MSG).

You don’t have to do this alone.
When Moses felt weak, God sent Aaron.

God might be placing someone in your life right now for the same reason.

There’s something about live performances—whether it’s a play, a concert, or a dance—that makes the world feel more alive. The way art can move you, awaken wonder, or make you feel seen is no small thing. And, you’re not just witnessing creativity, but sharing in it. You sit shoulder to shoulder with friends, neighbors, or strangers, united in an experience of something bigger than yourself. And in that moment, we get a glimpse of something deeper.

God, the original Creator, created us to be creative (yes, that’s lots of create words together!)—crafted to express, move, speak, and stir one another through beauty. When we step into a space filled with aesthetics, storytelling, and sound, we’re catching a glimpse of his design in motion. And when we gather to experience human creativity, we’re participating in a shadow of the sacred: shared ceremony, community, and delight in what’s good. It’s often more than entertainment—it’s evidence of his image in us.

Whether it’s a sold-out arena or a small recital, here’s a prayer to ground you in gratitude for the gifts of artistry, imagination, and togetherness. An opportunity to give thanks for the gift of art, the power of performance, and the God who delights in it all.

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer” (1 Timothy 4:4–5).

𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
God of creativity, you made a world bursting with beauty and skill. As I watch this performance unfold, fill me with wonder at human artistry—reflections of your own creativity. Let this moment lift my spirit, awaken my imagination, and remind me of the joy you have in your creation. May I leave inspired, grateful, and more aware of the unique ways you’ve made us to express your light. Amen.

What are some of your favorite memories? Chances are, most of them include other people.

God designed us for friendship because it’s part of who he is. As Father, Son, and Spirit, God exists in eternal, loving relationship. And we were created in his image for deep, meaningful connections, too.

But let’s be honest—real friendships are hard to find, harder to grow, and sometimes even harder to keep. They take time, courage, and trust. And yet, when we walk closely with others, our faith often deepens.

This is why we created a free resource: 7 Bible Stories to Deepen Your Friendships.

It’s a short, physical Bible study to help you pursue the kind of relationships your soul craves.

Inside, you’ll discover stories like:
Philip and Nathanael — friends who learn what it means to truly see one another
Job’s friends — who showed up in grief (even if they got it wrong later)
David and Jonathan — who stood up for each other no matter the cost

All of these Bible studies exist alongside practical ways to help you grow in friendship with God and with one another.

Want the rest? We’ll send it to you for free (you’ll only cover shipping).
Just drop a “FRIEND” in the comments, and we’ll message you the link to get your copy.

Because you were made for that kind of community.
