Start a Girls Talking Life Group
Girls Talking Life is all about cultivating community and creating meaningful connections. In pursuit of that mission, I’m launching Girls Talking Life Groups. It’s like a book club but for the podcast.
You listen to an episode then get together with friends to discuss, reflect, and apply it to your life.
I’ve created Reflection Guides for some of the series and stand-alone episodes, so the work has been done for you. Just listen and discuss!
The Girls Talking Life podcast and Reflection Guides were recently approved by my local church to be used as small group curriculum and now you can use them for your small group too! Don’t have a small group? Start one!
Grab the Girls Talking Life Group Quick Start Guide. I outline a couple of simple steps, answer a few questions you may have, and tell you exactly how I’d start, if I were starting a group. Because I am! I’m hosting a group this summer at my house and I encourage you to do the same!
