What does it look like to follow Jesus in the everyday tension of motherhood, marriage, leadership, and personal healing? In episode four of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by author, Bible teacher, and podcaster Jackie Hill Perry for a raw and wisdom filled conversation about humility, trust, and the hidden work of sanctification. Jackie shares candidly about parenting four children while staying rooted in her calling, building a marriage grounded in friendship with her husband Preston, and learning to trust God in places of deep personal hurt and uncertainty. Together, they unpack what it means to live as disciples who choose obedience over ego, faith over fear, and gratitude over envy. This episode will encourage you to see God differently in your suffering, to embrace the narrow road of discipleship, and to trust that He is faithful in every step of your story.

What does it look like to live fully surrendered to God — not just once, but day after day, season after season? In this conversation, Shelley Giglio sits down with Priscilla Shirer – wife, mother, author, and speaker – to reflect on the powerful move of God they’re seeing in this generation, especially through gatherings like Passion, where tens of thousands of young adults are showing up hungry for the Word of God, not just motivation. Priscilla shares how she has spoken identity-shaping declarations over her sons for years and how that same truth now calls a wider generation to live like who God says they are. They talk honestly about surrender: laying down comfort, preferences, and even good opportunities when God says “go” or “stay.” Priscilla tells the story of filming War Room and being willing to lay acting down to honor her marriage and family, and together she and Shelley unpack the danger of confusing ministry with platform in a social-media age. From five unseen years discipling a handful of college girls, to the story behind The Jesus Bible, to a powerful reminder that maybe we don’t need more clarity but more courage, this episode invites us to see every ordinary moment as ministry and to trust that God is forming us — even when no one is watching.

In this episode, Shelley Giglio sits down with international speaker, best-selling author, and spoken-word artist Hosanna Wong for an honest conversation about faith that doesn’t feel like a spiritual show. Hosanna shares stories from her upbringing in San Francisco, her dad’s faithful street ministry, and the surprising ways God produces fruit across generations. Together, they explore why so many of us feel stuck — confusing our “God life” with a perfect quiet-time ideal while our real life is full of deadlines, laundry, and responsibility. Together they explore a powerful picture of flourishing through the lens of vineyard growers, and how to nurture your life with God in whatever season you’re in. We pray that this conversation will help you release comparison, repent of pace and pressures God never asked you to carry, and take one simple step toward a real relationship with Him — today.

In this rich and encouraging conversation, Shelley Giglio is joined by Christine Caine to talk about flourishing in a world that often feels heavy, chaotic, and hard. Inspired by Christine’s new book, The Faith to Flourish, Shelley and Christine explore the biblical imagery of the olive tree and what it teaches us about being rooted in Christ, bearing lasting fruit, and thriving even in difficult places. Christine shares why this message feels so urgent for women right now, especially after years of disappointment, distraction, and spiritual fatigue. Together, she and Shelley talk about abiding in Jesus, resisting the false definitions of flourishing that culture offers, and building a life that can withstand suffering when it comes. They also have an honest and thoughtful conversation about healing, therapy, prayer, the role of the local church, and why deep roots in Jesus and His people matter more than ever. Christine reflects on her own story of trauma, healing, cancer, friendship, and faith, reminding listeners that flourishing doesn’t mean life is easy — it means Jesus is enough in every season. This episode is a hopeful invitation to stop languishing, put down deeper roots in Christ, and become women who produce fruit, freedom, and shade for the people around us.

In this episode of The Grove Podcast, Shelley Giglio sits down with her dear friend and a long-time Grove girl, Courtney Pray Duke, to celebrate the release of Courtney’s book And She Got Up : Shattered by Loss, Restored by Jesus and to trace the journey that shaped it. Courtney shares how everything changed in her life the day Andrew died in a bicycle accident — an instant that turned a bright day into “the darkest night of the soul.” With honesty and tenderness, Courtney recounts the disorienting fog of grief, the fight to keep going for her three young children, and the unexpected ways God met her in the lowest moments. From a pivotal encounter with God at Passion 2013 to the daily practice of anchoring her life in scripture, Courtney unpacks how faith can be tested in the fire — and how God’s presence can become most real in the valley. Shelley and Courtney also talk about the power of community, learning to speak truth out loud, and the long obedience of writing the story down.

In this episode, we’re joined by the wise and wonderful Lisa Harper — author, Bible teacher, and one of the most joy-filled voices in the Church today. With her trademark humor and heartfelt honesty, Lisa shares a powerful conversation with Shelley Giglio about theology, friendship, and the beauty of living in a deep community connection.  Lisa opens up about her early struggles with inadequacy and how, for a time, theology became a mask she wore rather than a lens through which she could truly see Jesus. But as God gently reshaped her heart, Lisa began to understand that real theology is deeply relational, all about knowing Christ and letting that knowledge transform our lives.  In this conversation, Lisa lets us into how that revelation has impacted her view on community, and challenges us to do the same. She also gives us a glimpse into what God is doing through her Kerygma Conference and her new book, “A Jesus Shaped Life.” In true Lisa Harper fashion, this episode is filled with both deep belly laughs and powerful theological truths, serving as a reminder to us that theology isn’t just for classrooms or scholars, but for every woman longing to know Jesus and walk with Him more closely.
