The Daughter of Delight Podcast: Recent Episodes
Elle Cardel
Daughter of Delight is an online women's ministry committed to providing everyday women of faith with daily devotionals and sound, Biblical resources. This podcast is a weekly podcast brought to you by Daughter of Delight Founder, Elle Cardel. Every Wednesday, we are going to immerse ourselves in the rich truths of God's Word. We’ll approach and interpret Scripture together, tackle tough topics and share some laughs along the way, too. It is my prayer that God will use this podcast to encourage, empower and challenge women of faith in ways that will help them grow in relationship with God and in their understanding of His Word as well. Soli deo Gloria! (Glory to God alone)
We know the words we speak should point to the very heart of Jesus, don't we? Yet, more often than we would like to admit, we let our words get the best of us. In this powerful conversation with my friend Sarah Molitor, we discuss God's desire for the words we speak everyday--to ourselves, our spouses, our children, our friends, strangers, everyone--and the weight they carry. This, my friend, is a conversation you do NOT want to miss!

Biblical submission is an incredibly important topic for anyone who is married or desires marriage. Why? Because it’s a biblical command for wives to submit to their husbands. And for some reason, verses like Ephesians 5:22 and Colossians 3:18 that instruct wives to submit to their husbands get a ton of backlash and just have an all around bad rep. It shouldn’t be this way, and the point of today’s episode is to explain why that is...why the act of submission is actually a beautiful and right thing, and why it should bring us joy and delight!

Friend, today you are in for an absolute treat! I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Caitlin Arlene, a dear sister and author of MAMA: True Stories of Maternal Health in Malawi.
While working on an international development article as a student, Caitlin was shocked to discover the desperate statistics surrounding global maternal health. Every day, approximately 830 women die due to preventable complications in pregnancy and childbirth. The same day will bear nearly 6,700 neonatal deaths – infants who do not make it past their first month.
Caitlin's passion for global maternal health and her desire to be a voice for the voiceless will inspire, challenge and encourage you in more ways than one. Praying this conversation blesses you just as much as it blessed me!

Trusting God can be hard, especially in the midst of difficult and devastating circumstances. In today's episode, I'm sharing how my husband and I are processing the recent diagnosis of our unborn baby girl's critical congenital heart defect. Our darling Selah Bryn is due in November and will need multiple open heart surgeries in her first year of life in order for it to not be cut short.
In the second half of our time together, I'm talking about the importance of trusting God in all things, at all times, in addition to sharing practical ways to help us do just that. Sister, to know God is to trust Him. When unexpected life events show up at our door, my prayer is that we would run to the Father, not away from Him. May this episode encourage us all to lean into His loving, all-sufficient embrace. Xx, Elle
