    186. Combatting Human Trafficking (with Jenny Barber)
    Apr 28 2025
    Guest Bio: For 15 years, Jenny has been a formidable force in the fight against sex-trafficking. With a deep commitment to supporting victims and providing advocacy, she has dedicated her career to training and empowering survivors, advocates, and communities to combat trafficking. Overcoming her own exploitation, she launched into the antitrafficking movement with a vision to create sustainable, collaborative, and holistic approaches to abolish modern-day slavery. She has successfully established herself as an expert in counter-trafficking efforts and survivor empowerment and continues to contribute to the advancement of the global anti-trafficking movement. Show Summary: Have you ever thought about where you’re buying things from? Human trafficking is one of the most evil and secretive business models in the world. Unknowingly, you could be buying items made by people trapped in modern- day slavery. Jenny Barber is passionate about raising awareness of human exploitation because she was a victim of it for most of her childhood. Her and her husband, Robert, started Talitha Coffee Roasters to give human trafficking survivors a path for healing and restoration. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn more about Jenny’s story and the founding of her business during this God Hears Her conversation. Notes and Quotes: “The inspiration for the name [Talitha Coffee Roasters] is because we want to see people coming from the darkest places and situations, rising from a place of desperation and hopelessness into abundance and life.” —Jenny Barber “Before I had heard anybody talk about God, I had an awareness that there was a God. Because in those moments where it was desperate and hopeless, I would feel the presence of God and know that I was not alone.” —Jenny Barber “I only am where I am today because there were people who were willing to find me in my most desperate of situations and reach out and tell me that I had value on my life.” —Jenny Barber “Because I came from such brokenness, I knew I needed help. I knew I needed a lifeline . . . even when I look back and see the darkest of situations, I see God’s hand on my life.” —Jenny Barber “There is this relentless pursuit throughout [Scripture] with God pursuing His people. It was the same thing on my life—God was relentlessly pursuing me and reaching out to me.” —Jenny Barber Verses: Luke 18:25 Links: Talitha Coffee Website: https://talitha.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqjVOH9xXwHD1PLLiOyCbZZnwOIs5piJxXREwVRSGw3PvCnIU5j Talitha Coffee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/talithacoffeeroasters/ Human Trafficking Hotline: 888-373-7888 Human Trafficking Awareness Website: https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en God Hears Her website: https://godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Elisa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://www.odbm.org/

    185. More Than a Label
    Apr 21 2025
    Show Summary: What labels do you put on yourself? What labels have been put on you? We tend to define ourselves through both good and bad labels that shift over time. They may hype us up or tear us down as we get older, but God doesn’t want us to live trapped in these labels. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins, Elisa Morgan, and Vivian Mabuni as they look to Scripture to see how God sees us. Open your Bibles and get ready for this powerful God Hears Her conversation. Notes and Quotes: “Words can have a lot of weight in our life when we’re talking about labels. But we tend to forget how strong they can be [in a positive way.]” —Eryn Eddy Adkins “We are hard-wired to be in relationship with one another, and we become isolated from one another we can spiral out really quickly.” —Vivian Mabuni “God so desperately wants us to bring all of ourselves to Him, any labels that we’re carrying, any circumstances that we feel shame about, that we are quietly suffering with.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins “Community reflects back who we really are.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins “You are loved. You are chosen. You are forgiven. You are made new. You are whole. You are restored.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins Verses: Matthew 9:20-22 Mark 5:25-34 Romans 8:38-39 1 Peter 2:9 Ephesians 1:7 2 Corinthians 5:17 Colossians 2:10 1 Peter 5:10 Philippians 4:8 Links: So Worth Loving: https://soworthloving.com/ God Hears Her website: https://godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Elisa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://www.odbm.org/ MB01AFKMFPXFT0A

  • 184. Waiting for Easter (with Jessica Herberger)

    184. Waiting for Easter (with Jessica Herberger)
    Apr 14 2025
    Guest Bio: Jessica Herberger is a writer and Bible teacher who delights in connecting faith, history, and human flourishing. She is the author of Peace in the Dark, Life Surrendered, and Break Bread Together. Through her writing and speaking, Jessica encourages others to pursue a deeply formed spiritual life, grow in community, and love others well. Jessica and her husband, Josh, live in upstate New York with their three kids, where she can be found surrounded by books and music with her pup Winston always at her feet. Show Summary: When you read the gospels, how often do you stop to think about the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday? Holy Saturday, that often-overlooked day in between, was a day of silence as the disciples and followers of Jesus mourned His death. It was a day of deep grief and painful lament. Jessica Herberger has been in her own Holy Saturdays ever since the death of her mother. Her grief led her to honor Holy Saturday, and she is passionate about teaching people ways that they too can mark the day in between. Join hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins, as they learn about Holy Saturday and the ways we can honor it with guest, Jessica Herberger, during this God Hears Her conversation. Notes and Quotes: “Holy Saturday is that time chronologically between the end of Good Friday and the beginning of Easter Sunday.” —Jessica Herberger “I believe that there is not one single thing that happened between those days was accidental. I believe that every single thing that happened was God’s kindness and showing His church how to live, and that has to include this 24-hour period of where it feels like nothing is happening.” —Jessica Herberger “[Holy Saturday] makes [the hope of Easter] Sunday all the more richer when we realize that there was this dark, unknown period too. We’re called to hold both.” —Jessica Herberger “At its core, lament is relational. It is a means of demonstrating your personal relationship with a God who hears you, who wants to hear you cry about because you know where to go to cry out.” —Jessica Herberger “As we know who Jesus is, we can then remember His character. Knowing God’s character is really one of the most essential things someone can do to maintain a spiritually healthy life, because it is the filter that we must put everything.” —Jessica Herberger Verses: Luke 23:55-56 Links: Jessica’s Website: https://www.jessicaherberger.com/ Jessica’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessherberger/ God Hears Her website: https://godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Elisa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://www.odbm.org/ MB01O2BAHS0OF3W

    Feb 24 2025
    Guest Bio: Nicole Unice is a pastor and leadership coach who facilitates safe environments of vulnerability so leaders and teams can courageously identify obstacles keeping them from their maximum potential.

She holds degrees from the College of William and Mary and from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Nicole and her husband, Dave, live in Richmond, Virginia, with their three children and two pups. Show Summary: When was the last time you read the story of Joseph in Genesis? Have you ever connected to the way things don’t work out for Joseph? Nicole Unice found comfort studying Joseph’s story while she was going through an unexpected season in her own life. Nicole shares with hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins, how we can observe and learn new things about God through Joseph’s life story. Join this God Hears Her conversation for a deep dive about how God works through our hardest seasons. To prepare for this episode, it may be helpful to read the story of Joseph in Genesis 37-50! Notes and Quotes: “Knowing God’s Word isn’t about knowledge, isn’t about facts, isn’t about being the person who always has the right answer—it’s a conduit to experience the love of Christ. It’s what God has given us to experience Him through.” —Nicole Unice “So much of the reward from our life with Christ is the faithful ‘hanging’ with Him.” —Nicole Unice “We know that people go through hard seasons. But yet our hard season is completely unexpected to us. We know it’s a part of life until it happens to us.” —Nicole Unice “In any room that you enter, do you make it better by your presence? Because if Christ is in you, then that love and presence is coming. And God calls that blessed. He says that’s what blessing is. It’s coming to you and through you, and it’s experienced by others. “—Nicole Unice “Testing is not so that God knows what’s in us. Testing is so we know what’s in us because God already knows.” —Nicole Unice Verses: Genesis 37-50 Luke 15:17-20 Romans 8:37-39 Jeremiah 9:23-24 John 6:68-69 Jeremiah 29:1-14 Genesis 50:20 Hebrews 11:22 Links: Nicole’s Website: https://nicoleunice.com/ Nicole’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicoleunice/ God Hears Her website: https://godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Elisa’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://www.odbm.org/ MB01ZJMA8YBFYPB
