  • What's a name? (Loving the names of God)
    May 23 2025

    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 say yes. And that’s what we’re talking about in this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast.

    May 10 2025

  • Women in the Bible with bold faith
    Apr 18 2025

    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. Jesus was not a man in the rigid sense of manhood as distinct from womanhood, but, as the Son of Man, the complete Head of Humanity.” - A.B. Simpson

  • Choosing God in the face of fear
    Apr 4 2025

    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, the events that unfolded later as the baby who came to be known as Moses was saved, would never have happened. Without Moses, the future for the Israelites, Egypt, and our present day would likely look vastly different than it does.

  • What a strong woman of God looks like
    Mar 21 2025

    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 all the men at church, while never saying no to watching all the kids, and does all this with a smile on her face. But does that actually make a woman a strong woman of God?

    In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about just one of the many real examples from the Bible of what a truly strong woman of God looks like…Miriam.

  • Before, during, and after - A time-line for praise
    Mar 7 2025

    “When you fully submit to the Lord, your entire life becomes an act of praise.” – Vanessa Lynn

    In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re talking about “Before, during, and after – a time-line for praise.”
