I was sitting on the couch with my mom, three episodes deep into The Testaments on Hulu, when something came out of me before I knew I was going to say it.

That is not the God I know.

And I have not been able to stop thinking about it since.

In this episode, I am getting into all of it. Margaret Atwood and why her storytelling stopped me cold in The Handmaid's Tale and pulled me straight into The Testaments.

I watched The Handmaid's Tale the first time as a woman who knew of God. I am watching The Testaments as a woman who has actually met Him.

And the difference between those two watches is the difference between recognizing a counterfeit and not knowing what was missing.

If you believe in God but are still figuring out what He is actually like, this one is for you. If you have watched The Testaments and felt something you could not name, this one is for you.

If you have ever been in a room where someone used the Bible to keep a woman in her place, and something in you said that is not right, this one is especially for you.

Have you ever been in a hard week and needed to know things were going to be okay?

This Holy Week, I found myself in a hospital waiting room. I had been avoiding going to the doctor for weeks because I was too busy, too scared of what sitting still might force me to face.

Everything was going to be okay. Even if it was not, everything was going to be okay.

But the peace came before the results. And that is what this episode is about.

This Holy Week Selah is for the woman who is in a hard week right now.

• Who is waiting for results she cannot control.
• Who is being asked to trust God in a season that does not look the way she hoped.
• Who needs to know that the One who rode into Jerusalem knowing what was coming is riding into her week with her, too.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What Holy Week really means for the woman in the middle of a hard chapter

• Why trusting God does not mean pretending the hard thing is not hard

• What Holy Saturday is and why most of us are living in it right now

• The peace that comes before the results

• Why Sunday is coming even when Friday feels permanent

Have you ever felt like healing was for everyone else but somehow not quite available to you?

Like you were doing everything right and still felt like you were behind where you were supposed to be?

This Selah episode is for the woman who is raw and hurting, the woman in the long, quiet middle, and the woman who is almost through, but not yet whole.

Not a lecture. Not a formula. Just five things God actually says about you right now in the middle of the chapter.

Before it is finished. Before you arrive. Before you are healed.
