The second of a two-part series on 'The Woman with the Issue of Blood,' Dr. Ghandi and returning guest Sandena Neely weigh in on this nameless woman with such a powerful story.
They highlight several vital characteristics of the woman, including perseverance and persistence. Through these attributes, she rose from anonymity to prominence. In the same vein, the story illustrates how aware Jesus was, regardless of the crowd.
The important point to emphasize is that regardless of your circumstances, Jesus cares about every aspect of your life. Tune in and be blessed.
In this 2-part series Dr. Ghandi and special guest Sandena O. Neely discuss the familiar story of the Woman with the Issue of Blood. They unpack how this unnamed Woman of endurance, faith, resilience and intentionality encourages us to push past our issues.
Even in the face of adversity, this Woman displays how self-care and self-talk made it possible for her to be healed. Her one declaration, "If I can only touch the hem of His garment, I will be made whole." caused her to have an immediate breakthrough.

In the third installment of the Ruth & Naomi story, Dr. Ghandi and returning guest Charise Johnson discuss how 'favor' changed these women's lives.
In addition to this, they discuss how strategic positioning and submission are crucial for receiving favor not just from men but also from the Lord. The lives of Ruth and Naomi serve as a perfect example of the older women teaching the younger women, just as the Apostle Paul instructs.
In this episode, Dr. Ghandi and returning guest Charis Johnson continue the conversation of Ruth and Naomi.
In their discussion, they suggest that these women's misfortune may have been a result of a wrong interpretation of the season.
With this in mind, when we read the book of Ruth today, we better understand how viewpoints can be skewed by what we perceive versus what is.
In this episode, Dr. Ghandi and guest Charis Johnson explore the book of Ruth.
Their discussion examines different kinds of interactions between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, covering topics such as mentoring, relationship, and kinship.
In the final part of Hannah's story, Dr. Ghandi and Pastor Audra discuss how our knowledge of God is reflected in our prayer and can often be interpreted as a song of worship. It is in those moments that our 'knowing' God becomes personal and not merely something we read about.
This week, Dr. Ghandi and her guest Pastor Audra continue to dissect the story of Hannah. The discussion delves into the power of agreement, following instructions and what it means to change your outlook.
We may all be familiar with the story of Hannah, a barren woman, who sat on the sidelines as Peninnah, the other wife of Elkanah, bore him two children. Imagine Hannah's dismay, or as we would phase it today, how she must have been all in her feelings.
Tune in with Dr. Ghandi and her guest, Pastor Audra Bain, as they discuss what Hannah did and how her actions can be applicable to today's marriages and women waiting to conceive.
