The Woman Inspired Podcast

Before, during, and after - A time-line for praise

“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.”

And in the newest episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we’re talking about what is seen and unseen, amazing, and outstanding about the creation around us and the One who is our Creator.

Small seeds, big faith

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.

Taking it captive

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.
Noel, light of the world – what does it actually mean and why is it the very heart of Christmas? To find out, tune in to this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast.

Who are 'the least of these'?

“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.
