Faith does not grow by accident. It grows through what we consistently hear.

In this episode 9 of Bible Study with Mum, we explore one of the most powerful faith enablers: hearing the Word of God. Based on Romans 10:17, we unpack what it truly means that “faith comes by hearing.”

Hearing is more than sound entering the ear — it is a spiritual process of receiving, believing, and responding to truth. Jesus repeatedly said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear,” reminding us that we can physically hear words but spiritually miss their meaning.

This episode helps us examine what is feeding our hearing, how the ear functions as a spiritual gate, and how intentional listening builds strong, steady faith.

In This Episode, We Explore

• What it means that faith comes by hearing
• The spiritual process behind hearing and believing
• Why Jesus emphasized “ears to hear”
• The ear as a gateway that must be guarded
• Why elimination requires substitution
• The role of meditation and speaking the Word
• How consistent hearing establishes lasting faith

Faith comes when the Word is heard and it stays when the Word is continually received.

In this episode four of Bible Study with Mum, we explore ignorance  not as a lack of intelligence, but as a lack of applied spiritual knowledge and how it quietly weakens faith in teens, new believers, and even long-time Christians.

Drawing from Scripture, we learn that ignorance doesn’t mean God’s truth is unavailable. Often, it means truth is unseen, unused, or misunderstood. When God’s Word is ignored or not applied, faith becomes fragile and believers can live far below what God intends.

This episode is a gentle but honest invitation to grow inunderstanding, stay teachable, and walk confidently in the truth of God’s Word.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What the Bible means by ignorance

• Why God’s people can struggle even when they know Him

• How ignorance affects faith, direction, and generations

• Practical examples of how ignorance shows up in everyday life

• The story of King Asa and how applied knowledge brought peace and later, how ignoring God’s counsel led to loss

• Why knowledge protects faith and truth strengthens trust

• How teens, new believers, and parents can grow together in truth

This episode reminds us that ignorance weakens faith but truth strengthens it.

Reflection Questions

Where might a lack of knowledge be weakening my faith right now?

Am I growing in understanding or staying where I’m comfortable?

How can I apply God’s Word more intentionally this week?

In this episode 3 of Bible Study with Mum, we move deeper from doubt into a more serious and often misunderstood issue: unbelief.

While doubt can be a struggle within faith, unbelief is aposture of the heart that refuses to trust God, His Word, and His promises. Left unaddressed, unbelief quietly robs us of rest, peace, and the inheritance God desires for us.

Using Scripture, we explore how unbelief develops, why evenbelievers can struggle with it, and how the Holy Spirit lovingly leads us back to truth.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The difference between doubt and unbelief

• Why unbelief is described as a sin in Scripture

• How unbelief prevents us from entering God’s promises

• Biblical examples of unbelief, including the Israelites in the wilderness

• Why an entire generation missed God’s promise in Numbers 13

• The role of the Holy Spirit in convicting, guiding, and restoring us

• Practical, biblical steps to overcome unbelief

• How parents can support faith journeys with prayer, not pressure

This episode reminds us that unbelief does not change God’spromises it changes our ability to receive them.

But the good news is this: God is patient, His Spirit is present, and faith can grow again when truth is embraced.

Many people experience doubt in their faith journey, but few feel safe talking about, especially in church.

In this episode of Bible Study with Mum, we continue our teaching on faith by exploring an important question: Is it okay to doubt God?

Using Scripture and real biblical examples, this conversation helps teens, new believers, and parents understand the difference between faith, doubt, and unbelief, and what to do when questions arise.

In this episode, we talk about:

- Doubt as a bridge between faith and unbelief

- How faith and doubt can coexist

- The difference between faith, doubt and unbelief

- Why God welcomes honest questions

- What causes doubt, including fear, trauma, and delayed expectations

- Practical, biblical steps for responding to doubt

- How parents can respond wisely when teens question faith

We look closely at the story of John the Baptist and his question to Jesus, along with other biblical examples such as Abraham, Zechariah,  and Thomas and their journey of faith and doubt.

This episode reminds us that doubt does not disqualify faith —
what matters is where we take our doubt.

In this opening episode of Season 2, we talk about what itmeans for faith to become personal, especially for teens, new believers, and the parents who walk alongside them.

Faith often begins at home, in church, or through theinfluence of people we love  and that is a gift.
But at some point, a quiet question rises in the heart:

“Is this faith really mine?”

Together, we explore:

• Why questioning faith is not rebellion
• How faith grows through seeking God personally
• What to do when doubts and questions arise
• How parents can create safe spaces for faith to grow
• Why God invites us to seek Him with our whole heart

Anchored in Jeremiah 29:13, this episode reminds usthat God is not afraid of our questions, rather He welcomes them.

✨ Faith doesn’t arrive fully formed, it grows, matures, and deepens as we walk with God.
