Guarding your heart is not about becoming harder - it is about becoming wiser. If you have ever confused boundaries with bitterness, or thought protection meant shutting everyone out, this devotional will hit differently.

Grace opens a new season of Sistah's on a Journey with a raw, practical conversation about **Before We** - and why every healthy “we” starts with an honest look at “me.”

Using Proverbs 4:23, we unpack what it really means to guard your heart, why discernment matters more than denial, and how the wrong people, patterns, and permissions can quietly shape our lives.

This episode is for anyone who is tired of repeating painful patterns, struggling to set boundaries, or wondering why peace keeps slipping away. If you need a reminder that wisdom is not coldness and discernment is not distrust, this one will help you reset.

In this episode, we’re sharing our unforgettable (and slightly sweaty!) adventure hiking a mountain—and trust us, it was more than just a workout. As we climbed, we couldn’t help but reflect on how the journey mirrored real life: the struggles, the victories, the moments you want to quit, and the joy of making it to the top.

We talk about how perseverance, community, and a whole lot of faith can carry you through even the toughest climbs—literal and spiritual. Along the way, we draw wisdom from history, our personal stories, and the beauty of simply being present in the process.

So whether you're facing a mountain of your own or just need a little boost to keep going, we’re here to remind you: the journey is worth it—and you’re not climbing alone.

In this episode, join Grace and Favor as we dive into some real talk about faith, purpose, and the beautiful messiness of the spiritual journey. We chat about why understanding scripture matters (like, really matters), how to tell the difference between living righteously and just trying to be “good” for the wrong reasons, and why discernment in prayer is such a game-changer.

We also get honest about those tough seasons when you’re just trying to hold on, and remind ourselves (and you!) of the powerful promise in Philippians 1:6—that God isn’t done with us yet.

So grab your coffee, tea, or whatever you’re sipping, and come hang out with us. Our hope is that you leave encouraged, inspired, and maybe even smiling as you continue walking out your purpose—one step at a time, with grace and favor.
