Noel - light of the world

Feeling like you’re buried under boxes, packages and tags? Too many holiday treats on your counter and headed toward you tummy? The Christmas season can make us feel overwhelmed rather than comforted. It can make us feel full of cookies, pies, and pastries instead of filled with the love that comes with a celebration of the birth of Christ. But hold on – because there’s hope. 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.

Having a passion for compassion

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.”

Easy, applicable Bible study tips

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.

Thriving in the midst of storms

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.

Making big decisions (how do ya?)

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. To tune in go to my website at womaninspired.com, directly to Podbean at https://womaninspired.podbean.com/e/the-wrong-way-to-do-the-right-thing/ OR search for The Woman Inspired Podcast in your favorite podcast app.
