Description

Welcome to the Giving Your Best Life Podcast with host Stephanie L. Jones aka Giving Gal — where faith meets purpose in your everyday life.


Born from honest conversations with college women and rooted in the 4G Method (Good Morning, Giving, Gratitude, and Go on Mission (or One Good Goal)), this podcast is your weekly dose of encouragement to stop striving for the world’s definition of success and carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders and start pursuing a life anchored in Jesus. Through stories, Biblical truth, and practical steps, you’ll be inspired to grow in faith, find rest, and boldly live out your calling—one day at a time.
