Created For The Season: The Coaches’ Wives Ministry Podcast

57 | The Covergirl Project: Philippians & Colossians with Farrah Sinclair

Dear Friend,
Today we are covering Philippians and Colossians, two of Paul’s prison letters, and I’m excited to have Farrah Sinclair with us again! Her husband Scott is the Director of strength and conditioning for the University of Georgia football team, and Farrah has been leading local covergirl groups here in Athens, GA and serving on gospel collective gathering team - among other things!
And about the gathering... It was an amazing time together and the Lord truly impacted all of our hearts with gospel truth and perspective for this coaching life. It is such a gift to keep the gospel conversation going through the podcast today, as many of these truths we talked about are found in the letters of Paul! I pray you will be encouraged by this episode!
“...and the peace of God, which transcends all uderstanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:7
Love to you all,
Candace

56 | The Covergirl Project: Galatians & Ephesians with Erin Rosene

Dear Friend,
We have the blessing of having Erin Rosene back with us for this episode! Her husband TJ is the men's head basketball coach at Emmanuel University in Franklin Springs, Georgia. Our conversation today is all about freedom, putting on the new self, spiritual warfare and a few other topics Paul covers in these two letters! Please read them for yourself!
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." -Galatians 6:9
Much love,
Candace

55 | The Covergirl Project: 2nd Corinthians with Jill Freeze

Hey Friends!
In this episode, we are taking a look at 2nd Corinthians, Paul’s second letter to the church in Corinth. I’m excited to have Jill Freeze with us again today as we focus specifically on 2 Corinthians 4, and talk about keeping eternal perspective through the highs and lows of the coaching journey.
At the end of this episode, Jill is also going to lead us in a special time of “listening prayer”, and you will most likely want to have something to write with, and take a moment even afterwards to reflect on what the Lord does through this exercise. I know you will be encouraged!
“And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.”- 2 Corinthians 1:21-22
Love to you all,
Candace

54 | The Covergirl Project: 1st Corinthians with Jill Freeze

Dear Friends,
For the two weeks we have the privilege of hearing from Jill Freeze as we cover 1st and 2nd Corinthians together. Jill has been a coach’s wife for 34 years. Her husband, Hugh, has coached football throughout all 34 years of marriage at both the high school and college levels. They have three daughters, three grandchildren and a foster grandson, and they currently reside in Alabama.
I invited Jill to join me today because she is a prayer warrior who loves God’s Word, she loves pouring into coaches’ wives and she has been intentional to do so in each and every location they have been called to as a coaching family. What I love about our conversations through these next two episodes is how Jill applies the many issues of the church in Corinth to the issues we face today.
I hope you will be encouraged to read these letters of Paul for yourself even if you are not doing The Covergirl Project! The Lord has so much to say to us through His Word!
“ ...no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— 1 Corinthians 2:9
Love to you all,
Candace

53 | The Covergirl Project: Romans (Personal & Practical!)

Dear Friends,
I just wanted to share a few words about what the Lord is teaching me personally and practically in Romans! I hope you will be encouraged in your walk with Jesus, resting in His grace and working for His glory!
“...Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.”   -Romans 12:11-13 (The Message)
Love to you all,
Candace

52 | The Covergirl Project: Romans with Darlene Johnson

Dear Friends,
As we transition from the life of Jesus and the early church in Matthew-Acts, I am excited to see the gospel connections throughout Romans and the other letters in the New Testament! My prayer is that we will continue to be humbled and amazed by the good news and understand in a deeper way how the gospel transforms everything in our lives!
We have Darlene Johnson with us again today, and we are so grateful for her and how the Lord has used her to pour into this ministry over the years. Her husband Craig recently retired after 40 years coaching football at both the college and pro levels, and they both continue to bless and pour into coaches, coaches’ wives and athletes through various ministry opportunities.
I pray that you will be encouraged by this episode today!
“...If God is for us, who can be against us?”- Romans 8:31
Love to you all,
Candace

They have been such a blessing in my life- Mandy Robinson, Cheryl Lilly and Morgan Ericson, and I know you will be encouraged by what they share!

#2 We are in the middle of our annual giving campaign- Giving December, and we are specifically trusting the Lord for new monthly partners. I know that sometimes it might be easy to feel like whatever amount you have to give isn’t enough to make a difference, but that is so not true! and so we wanted to create a giving campaign that emphasizes giving what the Lord puts on your heart to do throughout the year. It can be $5 dollars a month, $25 a month, $250 a month - whatever! Monthly giving provides a consistent foundation of support for this podcast among other things, and we would love for you to join in some way!

#3 Final reminder is that The Covergirl Project is on a break from the New Testament until we resume with with Romans on Feb. 1st, but we are going through Isaiah during this time. Some of my favorite verses this week are so encouraging during this season of uncertainty for many coaching families:Isaiah 26:3-4 “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself is the Rock eternal.”
I hope you are encouraged by the testimonies, and the steadfast peace we have in the Lord!Love to you all,💕Candace

49 | Covergirl Testimonies & Giving Tuesday

Dear Friends,
In the podcast today, you will get to hear from two of the coaches' wives who have been part of The Covergirl Project this fall. The Lord continues to amaze us with stories of connection, growth and family renewal, and I am so grateful!Today is also Giving Tuesday, and I wanted to say THANK YOU! As a 501c3 non-profit organization, things like this podcast and our annual gathering happen because of the gifts of generous supporters, many of you are part of that group! We thank the Lord for your partnership in the gospel! In light of that generosity, we have been able to provide an amazing resource for coaches. The link to share with your husband is below!So as we kick off this season of giving, moving towards Christmas, let's remember to praise the One who is the Giver of all things- the real reason for this ministry, and without whom we wouldn’t have anything to talk about on the podcast or even breathe in our lungs! I am thankful for Jesus, for all of you and I hope you are encouraged by the episode today!
"For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
Love to you all,💕Candace

48 | The Covergirl Project (holiday plan!) & The Gathering 2026

Dear Friend,
In the episode today, I have some special things to share about The Covergirl Project and our upcoming coaches' wives event!For The Covergirl Project, we just finished going through the first half of the New Testament and I'm so thankful for all of our special guests this season, but I do know that everyone is at a different place in their covergirl journey! Maybe you started with us through the New Testament this Fall and got behind, or maybe you've been waiting for a good time to start! You can start today, or catch-up on your reading of Matthew through Acts, use the podcast episodes (#37-47) for encouragement and keep going! We will be back to cover Romans through Revelation on February 1st, 2026!However, if you have finished Acts and are wondering what to do these next 10 weeks over the holidays- don't worry! The Covergirl Project schedule is going to spend time in Isaiah. Why? Because Isaiah is the most quoted prophet in the New Testament, and we just spent time seeing prophecies fulfilled in the life of Jesus. We get to have this next season as a time to be reminded of God's faithfulness in keeping His promises, and Isaiah contains some beautiful passages for Christmas time as well! Remember, wherever you are in the Word, it's all about Jesus and spending time with Him, not the reading plan with boxes to check off your list! Enjoy time with the Lord and the gift of His Word!
And finally, registration for our upcoming in-person coaches’ wives event opens TODAY! We have had a CWM Gathering almost every year since the ministry started, but never at a resort-type location. However, at the end of FEB 2026, right after we kick-off the book of Romans, we are hosting a conference in Buford, GA at the Lake Lanier Island Lodge- ALL the details are on our website! HOWEVER the most important thing about the conference is that our focus is going to be on the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Because the gospel is not just for unbelievers. The truth of the gospel changes our lives as Christians too, so this gathering is called The Gospel Collective because the gospel is going to be the center of it all. Because if you need hope, if you need peace, if you need grace, if you need to experience forgiveness in your heart towards someone, if you are struggling with anxiety, or in your marriage or parenting- the gospel is the answer. That’s why Paul continued to preach the gospel to the Christians, to the churches and even to himself as he traveled along on his missionary journeys. If you are in need of some good news for any area of your life, register and come be a part of THE GOSPEL COLLECTIVE GATHERING 2026!"But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. (ESV)  Acts 20:24
Love to you all,
💕Candace
