What's a name? (Loving the names of God)
What's in a name? Do you know what your name means? Was it given to you by your parents with purpose and meaning? Or was it given to you as a reminder of someone else dear to them, and in honor of another person? Most people are named after other family members, friends, movie characters, or famous people. Sometimes they are named after people in the Bible. But what about God? How is God named? What IS His name? And what’s in a name? Is your name, my name and the names of God that important? I’d...

Women in the Bible with bold faith
When you are weary, needing rest and feel as if no one could possibly understand, take heart because there have been many who have come before you who understand. They made it. They were brave. They were bold. They embraced their faith. And you can too. In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re discussing more women in the Bible who had brave, bold faith. “The heart of Christ is not only the heart of a man but has in it also the tenderness and gentleness of a woman.

Choosing God in the face of fear
Choosing God in the face of fear This episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast is about the midwives from the Old Testament who dared to deceive the Pharaoh in order to stop the killing of Israelite babies. (Exodus 1) Through their example we get a clear picture of what a holy fear and awe of God is and how much more powerful it is than the fear of a bigoted, cruel, King. Through these midwives, it’s clear that when God establishes our steps, a mindset of bravery is available to us. Without these midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, th...

What a strong woman of God looks like
What does a strong woman of God look like? Defined muscles? Able to wrangle 7 kids, a job, and yard work all at the same time? Sometimes we think so. If you believe the pictures and posts of some influencers on social media, you’d believe that all women of God are readily filtered, photo-shopped, and exaggerated. You’d come to believe that a strong Godly woman is someone whose hair is perfect, and never turns gray. You’d think she was a woman who defied stretch marks, miraculously can’t gain a pound, and who never misses an opportunity to serve...

Small seeds, big faith
One of my favorite quotes is, “I have a mustard seed, and I’m not afraid to use it,”…by John Ratzinger Until recently, I didn’t think much about the actual mustard seed, except for the fact that it’s an itty, bitty little seed. Sometimes my faith has definitely been that small, and truthfully, even smaller than that. What I’ve discovered over the years is that the more I use my faith, the more it grows. Mustard seeds are amazing little things, and it’s no accident that they’re referenced in the Bible more than once....

Are you taking captive what you need to take captive? As everyone is making resolutions and goals for 2025, perhaps most of us need to set a goal of taking our thoughts captive.

For a long time I felt as if so much of the world had lost the ability to have compassion.

Losing your cool means losing composure and letting anger get the best of you. We all do it. None of us can escape it but we can learn to control it.

What's a miracle to you? Is it things you can see but can’t understand, like the fact that some animals can regenerate limbs? Or that we can talk into these little boxes called phones and hear someone’s voice who is thousands of miles away? Or maybe that something with feathers and a tiny body is able to fly? Or that somehow ALL the trees know just when to shed their leaves as one season changes into the next without someone telling them to?
