Tragedy, trauma, even unexpected blessings can cause a sudden shift in your well-thought-out plan. Most of us, at the very least, have an idea of what our today, tomorrow, and many tomorrows might look like. What happens when the unexpected forces us to take a detour?

The American Bible Society says, “The Bible provides comfort and clarity when the things we love feel like they’re slipping through our fingers. Inevitably, God will call us to let go of the past and follow his lead into new seasons of life, and that’s not an easy task.” Don’t we know it! Right? In one way or another, most of us know what a sudden detour looks like. But how we handle it, avoid it, escape from it or embrace it, makes all the difference in the world.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about unexpected detours in life. Are we determined to let them derail us? Or just cause us to pause for a time, until the smoke clears and we see where God is calling us next?

I sincerely think there should be a helmet law! Specifically, a helmet of salvation law. That would be great in my opinion, and yet I know that God gives us free will. We can armor ourselves up, or we can choose not to.

1 Thessalonians 5:8 encourages believers to put on "the hope of salvation as a helmet." This hope acts as a protective barrier, keeping our minds focused on God's promises and on the truth. Let’s face it between movies, social media, videos, podcasts, and even some sermons, we are assaulted with arrows of deception. We need to armor up.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re grabbing a sword, slapping on a helmet and talking about lies that come after us in small whispers, slithering toward us, and trying to separate us from our faith, and how we can protect ourselves from them.

From the time I was little, at home and in school, I was taught to respect our country, be thankful for freedom, honor the flag, and proudly sing “God Bless the USA”. I still do that today. In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we talk about the importance of having internal freedom to follow the Lord’s call, and the responsibilities that come with that as well as the blessings and responsibilities that come from living in the USA.

I hope you’ll tune as we talk about Freedom and Free Will. 1 Peter 2:16 says, “Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.” That's my hope and prayer for all of us today. I pray we will choose to live as God calls us to live, and not as an ally of evil.

Family fallout is defined as estrangement from family members. Some of it is justified, some of it is not. But we shouldn’t be surprised or shocked by it, even if we’re hurt by it. In today’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re talking about the cultural epidemic of family fallout; why it’s happening, when it was predicted, and what, if anything, you can do about it or if you should even attempt to do anything about it. With Biblical insights, experience, truth, and a tad bit of humor, this episode will resonate with just about everyone.

Did you know you were created to be a warrior?

Ladies, if you’ve ever questioned your strength, worth, or ability to take up your armor and battle, then please tune in to this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast. We’re discussing the truth that the Bible tells us we were created to be warriors. No matter if your battle is career related, family, relationships, financial, physical or mental health, or some other battle, you are not alone!

Whatever it is you battle right now – you are not the sole warrior – married or not, single or divorced, widowed or care-giving; career woman, mother, aunt, daughter, you don’t have to battle alone. For encouragement, Biblical emphasis, humor, and truth, this week’s episode is a firm reminder of who we are in the Lord, what we’re called to do, and that, as women made for a purpose, we are not alone.

Are you just where God meant you to be? Unfortunately, many of us are so discontent with the season, the space, and the place we’re presently in, we stay distracted with thoughts of how to get out of where we are, instead of embracing where He’s put us.

“Bloom where you’re planted” is an often-used saying when it comes to purpose, contentment, and staying encouraged on this journey. In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re talking about blooming, sustaining, growing, and all the crap it takes to make the ground fertile enough to do so! If you’re tired of feeling like where you are has no purpose, and you aren’t blooming like you should, I hope this brief episode will encourage you to hold pn, not to shrink back, give up, or turn your back on where God has you in this season.

Have you ever been able to look at a time in your life and say, "Yep, that was God!" or does it come out more like, "Um, that was God?"

"God appointments" or "divine appointments" are those unexpected, divinely, Godly-orchestrated encounters, situations, experiences, and moments in life that happen for a higher purpose and a heavenly reason.

When life gets difficult, and the challenges seem TOO challenging, we tend to forget that God's way is always better. Isaiah 55:9 says: “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Trying to remember that God has time for each of us and cares deeply for all his children is difficult when we hurt, or become fearful. I recently found a quote that I share in this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast that helps remind me that His way is far better than my own and that He has not forgotten me, you, or any of us!

“He who counts the stars and calls them by their names is in no danger of forgetting his own children.” - unknown

I'm discussing that quote and my most recent "Yep, that was God!" moment in this episode.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast I'm talking about cleaning out the old files. You know what I mean? The old junk we let pile up in the back of our minds. The stuff that starts to decay and infect our thinking and our very lives. That's the season I'm in right now - understanding the necessity of processing things at the spiritual and emotional level so they don't start to pile up mentally. Realizing that cleaning out the old junk won't be comfortable, but it's a necessity.

With encouragement, a bit of humor, and an urgency to share, that's what this latest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast is about. Hope you'll tune in.

“If you’re going to rob a convenience store, don’t forget the candy bar.” That’s the quirky title of the latest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast.

Matthew 26:41 reminds us to pray so that we don’t enter into temptation. In this episode, I share about an incident I once witnessed where a man decided to rob a convenience store, but a last-minute temptation became his downfall.

Filled with insight on the cautions of partaking in what is merely convenient, this quirky episode is a reminder that reaching for what is quick and easy doesn’t usually lead us down the road to happiness.

Wisdom is defined as the ability to discern, good sense, and accumulated philosophical learning. When I think of wisdom, I can’t help but turn to the Bible, as well as think of people whose wisdom I miss - like my Dad, my grandma, and others. Some who are still here on this earth, and some are already in heaven.

As I was studying about wisdom this week, I remembered that when my grandma passed away at the age of 99, I wrote some things about her dealing with wisdom and knowledge. In this week’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, which I titled “Things my grandma taught me”, I share some bits of wisdom, common sense, and cautions straight from my grandma and some Biblical perspectives about the world of social media life.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re discussing black sheep. I recently read a quote I love. It says: “Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior, was the black sheep in his own family, his community, and the church. So don’t fret if you feel the same way, just work to be more like Jesus and see the world through the eyes of a black sheep who now sits in white, at the right hand of the Father. (unknown)

Today, we’re talking about black sheep, the dangers of accepting the world’s view on what one is, and the truth that it doesn’t matter what kind of sheep you are. What matters is if you let Jesus be your Shepherd. He IS the Good Shepherd.

With humor, truth, testimony, and Biblical insight, The Woman Inspired Podcast is here to help you think, discern, encourage you, and sometimes even entertain you.

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.

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

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 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.

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

Do you believe that? Do you believe that you can praise God through anything – before, during, and after the difficult times? I didn’t used to believe that but I know it to be true now.

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

One of my favorite quotes is, “I have a mustard seed, and I’m not afraid to use it,”…by John Ratzinger

Until recently, I didn’t think much about the actual mustard seed, except for the fact that it’s an itty, bitty little seed. Sometimes my faith has definitely been that small, and truthfully, even smaller than that. What I’ve discovered over the years is that the more I use my faith, the more it grows. Mustard seeds are amazing little things, and it’s no accident that they’re referenced in the Bible more than once.

In today’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, “Small seeds, big faith”, we’re talking about the mustard seed parable, and what happens when your faith grows.

Are you taking captive what you need to take captive? As everyone is making resolutions and goals for 2025, perhaps most of us need to set a goal of taking our thoughts captive. The great thing about learning to truly take our thoughts captive is that along with the thoughts come the fears, feelings, anxieties, and worries. When you learn to wrangle those thoughts, you have a better chance of wrangling the fears, feelings, and worries that come with them.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking all about “Taking it captive”.

You CAN get in the true holiday spirit by embracing Noel.

“We make a living by what we make; we make a life by what we give.” (Winston Churchill) Have you been making a life Jesus would be proud of? Have you given to “the least of these”? Perhaps you feel as if you have nothing to give. We’re all called to give and told in Matthew 25 just what Jesus expects of us, and in this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about how we treat “the least of these”, who they are, what the Bible says, and doing it all with a bit of laughter.

For a long time I felt as if so much of the world had lost the ability to have compassion. I mean, look around and we constantly see jaded, evil-minded, self-centered people who don’t seem to have a care in the world except for caring for themselves, and gaining whatever amount of money, thing, or popularity could be had here on earth. But in the wake of hurricanes, tornadoes, people being hungry and cold, I’ve seen, and felt a renewed hope in mankind’s ability to tap into compassion. While I don’t know if it’s possible, my hope and prayer is that a true passion for compassion will sweep across the globe.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about compassion. What is it? How did Jesus show compassion? And why is it so important for us to show compassion for others? This and more are discussed in this week’s episode titled, “Having a passion for compassion.”

DL Moody said, “Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me. “ Reading this quote was like having cold water splashed in my face. What are people reading when they see me, speak to me, hear me talk? The reality that others can see, and know the Word of God through someone else, and come to know Him through seeing us live as a witness to Him and the truth of the Word of God, ignites in me a greater desire to read, and understand the Bible. If I’m to be a living testimony of His Word then I need to know it. The only way to do that is to study it.

In this week’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast I’m sharing “Easy, applicable Bible study tips”. If you have difficulty setting time aside for Bible study or even comprehending why in the world it’s so important, then please tune in. This episode includes practical, easy to follow tips to setting yourself up for successful, consistent and realistic Bible study goals.

Today’s episode is titled, “Thriving in the midst of the storms”. Yes, thriving - not just surviving. In order to thrive, you must first survive but beyond survival mode, beyond the gut instinct to hold on for dear life, hunker down or protect yourself, a spiritual longing to pray the storm doesn’t take you out usually kicks in. Somewhere in there is a place where we can thrive amid the storms, not just survive. That’s what this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast is about. With Biblical insights, testimony, and humor, this reminds us that we’re given the opportunity to thrive, not just survive.

Have you ever had a difficult time making a decision? I used to worry myself over every little decision I had to make…everything from what to order on a menu to where to go shopping for groceries. I was a worry-wart of the worst kind. (Say that ten times fast.)

Over the years, through great counsel, Biblical principles, and much trial and error, I’ve learned that making decisions, big or small, doesn’t have to be something excruciating or worrisome. God tells us not to worry but to seek Him instead.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about Making Big Decisions. Humor, Biblical principles, stories and testimony all in one place.

Have you ever tried to do the right thing, only to realize later that you probably went about it the wrong way? Sometimes it takes us learning the same lesson over and over again before it sticks; especially when it comes to trying to help others. In our care, concern, and passion, sometimes we go about giving that help in the wrong way, making the situation worse.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re paving the podcast with talk of good intentions gone wrong. How do you deal with your zeal to help someone living a life that’s not good for them? How do you keep from pushing them further away from the right path? And just as important, is it your job to try to even try to put them in the right place? With Biblical examples of Jesus’ love and zeal for His sheep, real-life examples and understanding, this episode digs into it “the wrong way to do the right thing.”

I heard a quote not long ago that resonated with me. “You know wisdom has settled into your soul when you can be confronted with just about anything and never lose your cool.” – anonymous

In today’s culture, losing your cool isn’t just the norm; in some ways, it’s even glorified. Losing your cool means losing composure and letting anger get the best of you. We all do it. None of us can escape it but we can learn to control it. James 1:19-20 says, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.”

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about being Christ-like in our anger; what to do when we feel like we’re going to lose our cool, AND what to do if we’ve already lost our cool. With encouragement, personal testimony, a bit of humor and Biblical truths, this episode is all about rushing to anger, and learning how not to lose our cool.

“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 Him and He’s not done with you yet. If you’re still breathing, He has a reason. If you’ve got a pulse, you have a purpose. Those aren’t just nice quotes and tag lines to put on a magnet on your fridge, they’re the truth.

In the latest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about purpose, passion, and God continuing the good work in you that He started.

In the latest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about how unforgiveness affects your health. Science has caught up with what the Bible already told us, we should forgive!

Karen Swartz, MD. Director of the Mood Disorders Adult Consultation Clinic at The Johns Hopkins hospital is quoted on the Johns Hopkins website as saying, “Research determined that there is an enormous physical burden to hanging on to anger. Unforgiveness can make you sick. Chronic anger and unforgiveness puts you in constant fight or flight mode which results in numerous changes in heart rate, blood pressure and immune response. Those changes then increase the risk of depression, heart disease, and diabetes among other conditions. Forgiveness however calms stress levels which leads to improved health.”

The Word of God gives us gems like Ephesians 4:32 for a reason. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” If it’s in the Word of God, it’s there for a reason. Is it easy to apply? No. Impossible to do? No. If God has asked us to do it, He will help us make a way.

In this episode, titled “Forgiveness is healthier than unforgiveness” we’re talking about spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health and how unforgiveness affects us.

The Woman Inspired Podcast is back after a brief summer vacation break. 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 through the good and the bad, come what may. With scripture, testimony and real life examples you can relate to, this episode gets straight to the heart of having a bad faith day and learning to turn in around into an attitude of letting it be well with your soul, come what may.

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)

In this week’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about the Way Maker. “Are you getting in the way of the Way Maker?” leads us into a discussion about letting God have His way in our lives and not getting in His way when He’s trying to make a way for us.

“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 prison of resentment and anger.

“Forgiving in the midst of pain” is the topic of the latest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast. In this episode we talk about the difficulty in forgiving wrong-doing on a major scale. Sharing true-life stories of amazing forgiveness, we discuss what the Bible says about it and why we need to pay attention to the effects that holding on to unforgiveness has on our lives.

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)

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about forgiving like Jesus did and what a Christ-like, truth-driven, compassionate forgiveness looks like.

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?

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re talking about Becoming a Prepper…a spiritual prepper. How can you do your best to be prepared for the storms that may come? Where do you turn in times of trouble and from where does your strength come? With Biblical insights, scripture, a bit of humor and real-life thrown in, this episode gets right in to it.

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 times did the answer truly give a solid answer to the question.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re answering the question, “what does it mean to be Christ-like?” and all with Biblical examples, scripture, personal experiences and authentic examples. Yep, we’re breaking it down to real-life, true words and The Word.

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 walks like a duck, then it must be a duck.” With technology today, fake this, altered that and artificially generated everything, it’s easier than ever to disguise a raven as a duck.

So how do you garner wisdom and discernment to distinguish the fake from the phony, the wolf from the sheep and the ducks from the ravens…especially when you’ve been duped before and you’re feeling like a fool? James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”

We’re discussing ALL this and more in today’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, “If it quacks like a duck.” Go to womaninspired.com https://womaninspired.org/podcasts to tune in OR search for The Woman Inspired Podcast on your favorite Podcast platform.

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 shall abound the love of many shall wax cold.”

This IS the world we live in now. But that doesn’t mean we should walk around worried that we may offend others by the way we live out our faith journey and grow our relationship with Jesus…and walk in truth.

In today’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about the Word of God, how it’s shared in today’s culture – the good, the bad, the ugly, the evil and the truth of it. AND how to stand with Jesus in a world that will stand for anything and everything just for likes, follows, and attention.

Have you ever received a package marked “special delivery”? Was it flowers? Fruit? Jewelry? Or maybe a rooster? (Yes, you can mail a rooster!)

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about gifts and a special delivery.

Aubrey Vaughn may have said it best: “Jesus is a special delivery from heaven, a parcel of love being delivered to your home with your name upon it for salvation and nothing in the world could stop the arrival of His of love - not the world - not Satan - not death - not hell because it was signed, sealed and delivered at Calvary But one thing we have to do with a special delivery when it arrives on our door step is to sign for it and agree to receive it.”

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, which says: Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

“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.)

Paul said in Romans 7:20 - “Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells in me.” Sin can dwell in you but that does not mean that you are your sin.

Are you feeling peaceful during the holiday hustle and bustle, shopping, cleaning, preparing, and cooking? Or do you feel chaos and craziness as your To Do list seems to get longer?

Peace is an internal thing that can be had even when there is no peace in the external world around you. Nations and countries, religions and families, shoppers and employers may not be focused on peace but that doesn't mean you can't be.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we talk about the peace Jesus offers us. Sheila Walsh said, “Peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ." Do you believe it? Tune in to this episode where I share about the struggle to hold on to peace, where our true peace comes from and I share a personal story of my own struggle to hold on to peace in the middle of a NOT so peaceful shopping experience I had.

The Bible says that if you resist the devil, he will flee. Do you believe that? Do you live your life like it’s true? Do you even believe in the devil and his evil ways?

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about resisting evil and what that looks like. What IS resistance? What does James 4:7 mean when it says “So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”?

Resistance, discernment, and letting the joy of the Lord be your strength is what we’re talking about in this episode titled “Resistance is NOT futile”.

“She wasn’t afraid of doing good OR of resisting evil. She was merely afraid she might not be able to tell the difference.” Gregory Maguire

What's a miracle to you? Is it things you can see but can’t understand, like the fact that some animals can regenerate limbs? Or that we can talk into these little boxes called phones and hear someone’s voice who is thousands of miles away? Or maybe that something with feathers and a tiny body is able to fly? Or that somehow ALL the trees know just when to shed their leaves as one season changes into the next without someone telling them to? Maybe it feels like a miracle to you when your husband doesn’t leave his clothes lying on the floor or when your teenager does the dishes without being asked. Maybe to someone else it feels like a miraculous and extraordinary occurrence of divine intervention when they get to the dmv to renew their drivers license and there is no line!

What do you consider a miracle?

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about what a miracle actually is and how important it is to acknowledge them, embrace them and thank God for them!

Do you ever feel like life is spinning out of control? Crime is rising, protests abound, war is increasing, people are hungry, peace seems far away…and to top that off you have 100 things on your To Do list that you haven’t tackled yet; you have relationships that need attention, health issues to tend to, promises to keep and your energy is waning because your mind is dizzy with all that spinning going on! It’s no wonder so many of us feel like things are spinning out of control, but rest assured, “Anything under God’s control, is not out of control!” (C. Swindoll)

When we try to make all our own plans without consulting God, that’s when we fail but Proverbs 19:21 says, “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we talk about those challenges, how things feel like they’re spinning out of control, how to keep your plans in line with what God wants for you and what the Bible has to say about it.

Do you know anyone who acts offended over every little thing? There are many today who are offended over even the slightest things but especially over the Bible itself. Matthew 24:10-12 says, "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold."

These are those times.

In a world that seems more and more offended, we should strive to embrace kindness, love and care for each other. But we must also be on our guard not to water down, retract or change what we know to be the truth of the Word of God just so it doesn't offend other people. That's what we're talking about in today's episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, "Offended".

Have you ever wondered why we all see things so differently in life? Why two people can see the same thing but come away with different perspectives of it? How we see things, relate to them and express them to others makes a difference in how we walk out our purpose and how we share the good news of Jesus Christ with others. In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, Karen talks about seeing things with greater vision - with the vision that only comes by seeing things through the eyes of Christ and His lens.

What do you do while you're waiting? Many of us grumble and complain or waste the time doing ridiculous meaningless things. The Bible has something to say about what we're supposed to do and how we're supposed to act in the waiting.

This episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast gives some Biblical perspective, personal reflection and a bit of laughter about the subject of waiting. It might even make you think a little bit about what you're doing in the waiting.

Where are you on your journey through this life? Are you expecting to arrive in heaven fully ready for whatever comes next? Or are you just sort of sitting in the middle of today's muck and muddiness, complaining about where you are in the present moment?

Today and tomorrow were meant for being thankful; for living in the present, not dreading what's to come and not sitting in fear. So many of us forget that we're almost home and this present moment will be gone sooner than we think. We forget that many of us are already halfway there - almost home - and we should look forward to where we're headed if we're walking with the Lord. That's what today's podcast episode is about - "Halfway There" is about feeling joy in the moment and being thankful instead of complaining that we're not getting everything we want whenever we want it.

"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter." That's the Bible verse in Isaiah 5:20 that everyone quotes about evil being called good. We're seeing the manifestation of it all around us. But what about how it manifests in your personal life? 

Are you embracing lies that come from your own lips about what is evil and what is good and believing lies about who you are because you're listening to what the world says you must be? We're all born with a purpose and a plan but it's easy to get caught up in the negative lies the world throws at us. If you find yourself saying, "I'm not good enough. I'm stupid. I'm not pretty enough. I'm too much. I'm not enough.", then you have taken in the lies of the world, hook, line and sinker. 

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we talk about The Lies We Believe, how to combat them and how to speak truth!

Have you ever thought you couldn’t empathize with someone else unless you walked a day in their shoes? Not so. The Bible says in Romans 12:15, “Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.”  (It doesn’t say, "Take their place for a day first so you know what it’s like to weep.") and 1 Corinthians 12:26 says, “If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together…” Yet, our culture tells us it’s nearly impossible to relate to someone else or empathize with them if we haven’t walked in their shoes.

Truth is, we do have the ability to empathize and we each have our very own unique walk to take on this journey that teaches us and causes us to grow if we let it. We may have some similar experiences that help us relate to and understand each other but it doesn’t take one person stepping into another person’s shoes or onto their type of journey to be able to show compassion, concern, respect and care through empathy.

That’s what we’re talking about on the newest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, “The shoes that fit you best.”

“Lukewarm people do not live by faith, they’ve structured their lives so they don’t have to…” Francis Chan

Did you know we’re called to live a life that is better than mediocre and not lukewarm?

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we confront those lies and talk about how important it is to know that you have worth and value and that you are called to live a life that is not mediocre, indifferent or lukewarm, but refined, excellent, passionate and with zeal.

In the newest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re talking about truth and righteousness - specifically about clothing ourselves with both.  Ephesians 6: 14   Says, “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,” but are you actually going around spiritually naked? Unprotected? Clothed in things of the world you think might protect you but don’t?

Stormie Omartian said, “The Bible would not have told us to take up the whole armor of God in order to withstand evil if evil could have been withstood without doing that.”  Is it time to pick put on your armor?

Tune in to this episode to learn more about truth and righteousness, how one hinges upon the other and how you can protect yourselves with them.

Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so shall he be." This is evident in today's culture. As we look around to see all the name calling, surely we also know that this name calling that is epidemic in society today doesn't just happen one to another but to self.

Have you seen the Asbury Revival pics and videos? Have you heard the testimonies? I have. I went. It IS true revival. Why? Because people are thirsty and hungry for more than junk! They want to be spiritually fed and be with people who get it - no matter their age, race, disability, ability, titles, denomination, gender, or financial status. They are hungry to realize we have more in common than not and to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit poured out in the form of love that flows through this revival. They are thirsty and hungry for the peaceful presence of Jesus Christ in a place where they are embraced and not alone.

In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we get to the heart of the importance of that same kind of thirst and hunger. We straight up talk about why we allow ourselves to be fed with junk instead and what to do about it. I share my insights and experience at Asbury and challenge you to weed out the junk you're being fed with to make room for an amazing appetite for God.

Tune in to this episode titled, "Weed that feed" for stories, humor, tips and Biblical insights on the thirst and hunger for God.

Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
