Girls Anthem Unplugged

Hey Queens of Purpose, Episode 2: How to Develop the Fruit of the Spirit (Part 1) | Girls Anthem Unplugged We love to talk about the gifts of the Spirit—prophecy, healing, tongues—but what about the fruit? In this two-part series, host Mya Kay challenges us to shift our focus from chasing spiritual power to cultivating spiritual character. Rooted in Galatians 5:22-23, this episode dives into the first four fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, and patience. With a powerful mix of biblical insight and personal storytelling, Mya unpacks what it really looks like to develop the fruit of the Spirit in your everyday life. You’ll also learn: * Why the fruit and gifts of the Spirit were never meant to be separated * The Greek meaning behind the word “fruit” (and why it matters) * What happens when we try to walk in gifting without godly character This is spiritual growth for the woman who’s tired of surface-level Christianity and wants to become more like Jesus, one fruit at a time. Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-23 Colossians 1:9-14; 2:12-17 John 15:1-8 Romans 12:18 Philippians 4:6-8 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 P.S. The prayer at the end cuts off (tech got in its feelings 😅), but trust, nothing is missing from the power of this episode. Life happens. Grace abounds.

Girls Anthem Unplugged

Hey Queens of Purpose, Episode 1: Bad Decision Making | Girls Anthem Unplugged Why do we, as Christian women, keep making bad decisions—even when we know better? In this powerful first episode of Girls Anthem Unplugged, host Mya Kay opens up about the real (and often overlooked) reasons why so many of us struggle with decision-making as believers. Using Genesis 3:1-7 as a foundation, she explores how doubt, disobedience, and spiritual laziness can lead us down paths God never intended. This isn’t just a surface-level chat. Mya shares personal stories and hard-learned lessons to show how a lack of trust in God, prayerlessness, and ignoring the Holy Spirit often play a bigger role in our choices than we’d like to admit. But it’s not all conviction—there’s clarity too. The episode ends with 3 practical, biblical tips to help you make godly decisions moving forward. If you’ve ever wrestled with regret, wondered if God can use your poor choices, or simply want to grow in spiritual maturity—this episode is for you.

Dear Daughter

Hey Family, I pray this blesses you — for real. I’ve been sitting with something heavy, and it started after watching the clip of Summer from Baddies saying something reckless about Emmett Till. That comment? Wildly disrespectful. And my heart breaks for his family. But you know what hit me even deeper? It shouldn’t take a moment like that for us to open our eyes. People were up in arms (as they should be), but why did it take this for us to finally say out loud what so many of us already knew — that Zeus Network and shows like Baddies have been feeding us toxic content for way too long? We deserve better.Our girls deserve better.Our legacy deserves better. I could rant about how media is failing us. I could go off about how we need to protect our culture and call our community higher. But instead of just venting, I’m doing what I was called to do — be a solution. So I created something. A resource rooted in real talk and biblical truth. It’s based on my article “The Beauty of Being Set Apart” from the March/April 2025 issue — and it’s something I pray every woman and girl who feels overlooked, forgotten, or called to stand out will sit with. 👉🏽 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RS513ow-WrXEiy-bTKk0JSiJ5FdgauIT/view?usp=sharingDownload the free [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RS513ow-WrXEiy-bTKk0JSiJ5FdgauIT/view?usp=sharing]Set Apart Devo [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RS513ow-WrXEiy-bTKk0JSiJ5FdgauIT/view?usp=sharing] packet here [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RS513ow-WrXEiy-bTKk0JSiJ5FdgauIT/view?usp=sharing] https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RS513ow-WrXEiy-bTKk0JSiJ5FdgauIT/view?usp=sharing This ain’t no fluff. It’s full of scriptures, journal prompts, affirmations, and questions to help you wrestle with what it really means to be chosen in a world that pushes conformity. If it speaks to you, pass it on to another sis. Let's flood timelines, inboxes, and hearts with truth. Because the culture may be loud, but purpose whispers — and it’s still speaking. If you haven’t read the article yet, here it is. Be sure to share this with your people — your friends, your family, your girls.Let’s stop just talking about the problem and start spreading content that actually helps us grow. Because if we start healing now, maybe our daughters won’t have to find their worth in shows that profit off their pain. We deserve better. And it starts with us.
