“God’s not done with you yet!”

Have you ever felt like God’s forgotten you? Or as if everything you felt called to do amounted to little or nothing? Perhaps you’ve felt under-appreciated, ignored, or dismissed for how you’ve tried to serve the Lord, and help others. If so, you’re not alone. But take heart because the Bible has something to say about that. The work you’re doing is not your work, it’s God’s work. You were called by H...

In this episode we’re talking about having faith and leaning on God come what may…having an “it is well with my soul” attitude even in the midst of pain, frustration, and difficult times. Do you lean into your faith come what may? Or do you only lean in after you’ve tried everything else the world has to offer?

In this episode, we’ll discuss having faith throug...

Do you believe that Jesus is the Way Maker? I do. I love the lyrics from the song Way Maker.

"You are Way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper

Light in the darkness

My God, that is who You are"

(If you know that song you’re singing it now, aren’t you? J)

Today’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast is titled “Do something kind today”. But how do you go about doing that? True kindness isn’t just a thought, nor is it just an action. It extends from the inside out. What does kindness look like and what does the Bible say about true kindness? In this episode, we’ll discuss the true meaning of kindness.

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free, and then to find out the prisoner was you.” This quote by Lewis B. Smedes is far truer than some people can imagine. For those who have held on to unforgiveness for many years, the side-effects of it are toxic. Releasing unforgiveness and learning to embrace forgiveness of others and ourselves takes work but it’s a labor of love when you realize that you’re setting yourself free from the priso...

C.S. Lewis said, “To be Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." Choosing Christ-like forgiveness doesn’t mean we have to die on a cross. In fact, we don’t have to do that to forgive others. Jesus did that for us. We were called to “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Are you prepared for the storms in life? It’s sometimes easier and more satisfying to grab extra candles, stock up on shelf stable foods and fuel up the generator than it is to be spiritually, mentally, and emotionally prepared. Putting our hands on tangible things makes us feel prepared. But are you truly prepared for whatever might come your way if you’re not well rooted and grounded in faith?

What does it mean to be Christ-like? I researched this question and let me tell you, the answers I got were completely circular. “Christ-like means to mimic Christ”, “Christ-like means exemplifying Christ.” “It means having a Christ-like attitude.” “It means sharing Christ with others.” And those are only a few of the answers. I had to roll my eyes at some of the answers, laugh at others and just sigh in the end because very few ti...

Have you ever been duped? Tricked? Scammed? Led astray by someone you thought was good but turned out to be evil? The book of Matthew warns us about wolves in sheep clothing. That scripture is important for our journey with Jesus but also in our daily lives.

Like never before, we have a world that is crawling with hungry wolves. We also live in a world that believes the lie that “If it quacks like a duck, swims like a duck and walk...

In sharing the Word of God, do worry you might offend someone else? Or are you bold enough to just put THE truth out there with love and compassion and let it stand for itself? Do you hear people water it down or try to shove parts of it in other people’s faces, with good intentions but twisted meanings?

Matthew 24:10, 12 tells us that…”many shall be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another… And because evil...

I recently read a poem called, “Church is hard”. You may have seen it circulating online. The poem was written by Jacob Waldron. Excellent writing and SO on point. His writing sparked me to talk about why church is so hard and what the Bible says about church.

We have a road map to developing a healthy church in the book of Acts. In this episode we’re talking about how to make church NOT so hard and specifically about Acts 2:46-47,...

“The devil knows your name but calls you by your sin. God knows your sin but calls you by your name…” (Ricardo Sanchez)  You have a name and YOU ARE NOT YOUR SIN. That’s what we’re discussing in this week’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast. We’re also talking about the danger of name-calling; labels, twisting the Word of God AND making sure you know that you are not your sin. (And other people are not their sin either.)
