The Woman Inspired Podcast

The shoes that fit you best

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.”

Out of context (Rev. 22:18-19)

Better than mediocre (Col. 3:23)

“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? Many people have been told that mediocre is fine and that they aren’t capable of anything else but ho hum, mediocre living or that they’re not good enough, smart enough, gifted enough to live a life with purpose and passion.
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.

Clothe yourself with truth and righteousness (Ephesians 6:14)

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.

Name calling (Proverbs 23:7)

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. 
Are you in the habit of calling yourself names? Negative, frustrated, degrading name calling affects our thoughts, our health and our relationship with the One who made us. 
In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we talk about why name calling is so destructive, how it disrupts God's plan and your purpose and HOW to stop doing it.
