Well Water | Episode 10
You know why the story of the woman at the well in John 4 is so good? It’s because Jesus knew exactly who this woman was before he ever met her. He knew all the things she had done. All the husbands (and not husbands) this wom...

Do You Believe? | Episode 9
John 11 tells about Jesus raising a man, Lazarus, from the dead. He was dead, dead. Been in the tomb for four days. Definitely a miracle. Definitely a great story. However, it’s not my favorite part of the story.Lazarus had two sisters, ...

Martha Martha | Episode 8
It’s exhausting to have people over. There is so much work to be done. It’s like once you get started the list just grows and grows. Kind of like “if you give a mouse a cookie, he’s going to ask for a glass a milk” and so fort...

Small Town Girl | Episode 7
Mary was so young and so wise. She was chosen by God to be….his own mother. The rest of us do not get to choose that. (If I was given the choice, I would stick with the mama I have if you are wondering.) Man does this sa...

Noble Women | Episode 5
Perhaps this passage is where the insane standard for a woman having it all comes from. Seriously, this woman in these verses is phenomenal…but really daunting to try to live up to. It even starts out by saying, “A wife of noble cha...

This Time | Esther: Episode 4
Esther is one of only two books in the Bible titled by the female main character. (Ruth is the other one.) It also does not really reference God. So why do I think it is important? First of all, a verse that you have probably ...

What is a woman? This question has come up more than probably necessary. Or at least been answered in ways…that make you scratch your head. While I have many opinions on the subject of what makes a biological woman, this isn’t...

Hurts So Good | Matthew 27
The crucifixion is terrible to read. The whole thing actually, from beginning to end. All the events that took place…unsettling. I don’t want Jesus to have suffered. The anger I feel when I think of those priests and teachers and elders. The li...

How Will We Eat? Jesus Feeds The 5000 | Matthew 14:13-21
It’s a Bible story we know so well. We’ve all heard it numerous times. Jesus feeds 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fish. This miracle is in all four gospels. Honestly, you can’t help but be amazed by it. It’s pretty dramatic. Jesus takes a loaf, holds...
