In this episode of Bible Study with Mum, we answer a powerful question: 

Who is the Word? 

Building from Episode 1, we go deeper to understand that the Word of God is not just written text, the Word is a person, and that person is Jesus. 

Using John 1:1 and John 1:14, we explore how the eternal Word became flesh and came close to us, not just to be known, but to be experienced.

In This Episode, We Explore 

• Why the Word is more than just a book  

• How Jesus is the living expression of God  

• What it means that “the Word became flesh”

This is episode 13  the final episode in our Faith Enablers series, and we’re ending with something powerful and often overlooked: 

Faith is not meant to be lived alone. 

In this 13th  episode, we explore how community strengthens faith, protects the heart, and helps believers stay grounded in truth.

• The power of unity and fellowship in strengthening believers

In this episode 12 of Bible Study with Mum, we continue our Faith Enablers series by bringing everything together through one powerful truth:

Faith must be lived out through obedience.

Using James 2:17, we explore what it really means that “faith without works is dead.” Faith is not just something we believe, it is something we act on.

This episode walks through the full journey of faith: hearing the Word, speaking it, believing it in the heart, and ultimately obeying it in real life.

We also look at the powerful example of Abraham in Genesis 22, whose obedience demonstrated deep trust in God, even when the instruction did not make sense.

In This Episode, We Explore

• What “faith without works is dead” really means
• Why obedience is not separate from faith, but the evidence of it
• The difference between acting in faith and acting in human reasoning
• Abraham’s obedience and trust in God’s promise
• How faith grows when it is expressed through action
• Why obedience can be learned and developed
• Practical steps to walk in obedience daily

Faith is not complete until it moves and obedience is where faith becomes visible.

• James 2:17
• Romans 10:17
• Genesis 22

“What is God asking me to do that I have not yet obeyed?”

In the episode 11 of Bible Study with Mum, we continue our Faith Enablers series by exploring a powerful foundation of faith: believing with the heart.

Using Romans 10:9–10, we learn that faith does not begin with outward action, it begins in the heart, where belief forms and conviction takes root.

This episode unpacks the relationship between the heart, belief, and faith, and how what enters our hearts ultimately shapes the way we live.

We also look at the example of Abraham in Genesis 15, whobelieved God’s promise before seeing the evidence, and how that belief was counted to him as righteousness.

In This Episode, We Explore

• What it means to believe with the heart
• The difference between belief and faith
• Why belief must move beyond intellectualagreement
• How Abraham believed God before the promise wasfulfilled
• The biblical pattern: Heart → Belief → Faith→ Action
• Why guarding the heart is essential for growing faith
• Practical ways to protect and strengthen your inner belief system

Belief begins in the heart, and when the heart accepts God’s Word, faith grows and produces action.

In this episode 10 of Bible Study with Mum, we continue our Faith Enablers series by exploring the powerful role of speaking the Word of God.

From the very beginning of creation, Scripture shows us that God spoke and creation responded. In Genesis 1, darkness and emptiness were present until God said, “Let there be light.” The spoken Word brought form, life, and order.

Faith is strengthened not only by hearing God’s Word but also by speaking it. When the Word is spoken in faith, it aligns our hearts, shapes our thinking, and brings us into agreement with God’s truth.

Using examples from creation and the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 21, this episode explores how faith and spoken words work together in the life of a believer.

In This Episode, We Explore

• How God used spoken words in creation
• Why the Word must be spoken to be heard and received
• The connection between faith and the words we speak

• Jesus’ teaching about speaking to mountains
• How spoken Scripture strengthens faith
• The importance of guarding the “gate of the mouth”
• Practical ways to speak the Word during prayer and meditation

Speaking the Word helps align our hearts with God’s promises and builds faith for the situations we face.

Key Scriptures

• Genesis 1:1–3
• Hebrews 11:3
• Matthew 21:18–22
• Romans 10:6–8

Takeaways

• Faith is activated when you speak without doubt.
• Your words create your reality, whether life or death.
• Guard your mouth and ear gates to align with God's truth.
• Speaking the word of God in prayer is essential for faith to manifest.
• The word of God is powerful and active, bringing light and life.

Reflection Questions

• What words have I been speaking over my life recently?
• Are my words aligning with God’s promises or my circumstances?
• What Scripture can I begin speaking over my situation this week?

 What’s Next

Next week, we continue the Faith Enablers series and explore another practice that strengthens faith and deepens our walk with God.

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.

Scriptures Referenced

• Romans 10: 14-17
• Matthew 13
• Joshua 1:8

 

Reflection Questions

• What voices are shaping my hearing right now?
• Is what I’m listening to strengthening my faith or weakening it?
• How can I intentionally feed my ears with God’s Word this week?

What’s Next

Next week, we continue our Faith Enablers series and explore another key practice that strengthens faith and spiritual stability.
