Dayton Women in the Word

The following episode is the first session of “Yet Even Now,” a conference centered on the book of Joel that Dayton Women in the Word had planned to host in March 2020.

These audio sessions may be used along with the “Yet Even Now Podcast Companion Guide” and function as a 5-week personal or group study in the book of Joel. The Companion Guide offers a Read/Study/Listen plan to lead you through the content, and encourages you to learn about and use helpful study tools each week.

Although we could not meet in person for this conference as planned, we pray these sessions prepared for the weekend will bless all the podcast listeners. Jillian wants to live in a world where her rusty vehicles never break down ever again, where Ohio has oceans and mountains, and where babies never grow out of their cheeks.

————————-

When Jillian is not working on her next project for DWITW, you can find her hiking with her family, organizing things that have already been organized, or reading a book.

Her favorite passage in the Bible is 2 Corinthians 12:9, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.”

Today our host Bethany sits down with guest, Carol Enns, for the final episode of Season 9: Fulfilled. Together they bring to light yet another Old Testament prophecy fulfilled by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Carol shares about the covenant God made with Abraham, promising to make him a father to many nations. Listen along to hear how God, in the work of blessing all of the nations of the world through His Son, also blesses each one of us and calls us to join Him in this work.

It is our prayer that Season 9 of the DWITW Podcast has encouraged you to see God at work in the big story of the Bible. May God give you peace and assurance from this series of examples of our good Father keeping His promises.

Carol wants to live in a world where Jesus' name is honored and communities are transformed by His love. When she's not teaching little ones in the school gym at St. Anthony’s, she's out for a run or bike ride in Oakwood with a neighbor or her husband Harv. Her favorite Scripture is Philippians 2: 8-11: “Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

On this episode, Carol shares about Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. The next local Perspectives course will be offered this winter at Fairhaven Church on Tuesday evenings, 6:30-9:15, beginning January 12, 2021. A morning class will also be offered during this season at Patterson Park Church. Visitors are welcome to attend the first two classes. Bring along a friend or your local church’s outreach and worship leadership!

Host Bethany welcomes this week’s guest, Catherine Hernando, to Fulfilled on the DWITW Podcast for a discussion about Jeremiah’s prophecy that the Messiah would be the victim of a murderous plot. Bethany and Catherine trace themes of exile and return, hostility and reconciliation, and division and unity throughout the big story of the Bible— all leading us right to the cross, to the hope we have in Jesus.

Catherine is passionate about adventurously chasing the impulses of the Spirit and seeking out the paths imprinted by God’s manifest presence. When she’s not at Apex morning prayer, at coffee shops working on theology, or exploring ways to capture the narrative texture of mission and discipleship on the @walkingwithheroes platform, you can find her with her neighborhood “framily” out on the streets of east Oakwood amidst a cacophonous tribe of children. Catherine is learning a lot from Paul about strength in weakness in this season of life (2 Corinthians 12:9).

This week on Fulfilled, Season 9 of the DWITW Podcast, Kate Hutson joins us to shed light on the messianic prophecy found in Isaiah 7. Bethany and Kate discuss the lineage of Jesus and the importance of the prophecy of the Messiah being born of a virgin. Tune in to learn how God fulfilled this prophecy through the circumstances of Jesus’ birth, and what this means for us as those born again into the family of God today.

Kate wants to live in a world where everyone knows their own God-given gifts and is confidently rocking them. When she's not hanging with her crew of four littles (ages 5 and under), you can find her on a walk, moving her body, or hiding away somewhere void of toddler noise for moments of PEACE.

Her favorite Scripture changes in every season of life, but is currently Hebrews 12:1-3: "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith. For the sake of the joy set before Him he endured the cross, despising its shame, and has taken his seat at the right of the throne of God. Consider how he endured such opposition from sinners, in order that you may not grow weary and lose heart."

You can connect with Kate on Instagram @katemhutson and on Facebook at Revelation Wellness- Dayton, OH.

This week on the DWITW Podcast, Bethany and our guest, Erika, dig into the messianic prophecy written in Psalm 118:22. They discuss the great importance of the cornerstone in a physical building— “the first stone that was laid… it bore all the weight and the stress,” and the rejection of the True Cornerstone by the leaders of Jesus’ day. Follow along as they trace the story of the cornerstone and the temple through God’s greater story in the Bible.

Erika wants to live in a world where people slow down and take the time to really listen to each other, preferably somewhere outdoors! When she’s not at home or adventuring with her family, you can find her at the piano or with a book and a strong cup of coffee. One of her lifelong favorite scriptures is Psalm 27:14: "Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!"

Today, we continue Season 9: Fulfilled of the DWITW Podcast. God’s faithfulness is on display as Natalie Mock joins our host, Bethaney Sibbitt, to talk about the Passover Lamb. Listen in as they discuss God’s attention to detail, the celebration of the Passover, and the connections between the Old and New Testaments when it comes to Jesus, the true Lamb of God.

Natalie wants to live in a world where her coffee stays hot during good conversations, and where we all live for eternity! When she's not being a mama to two under two, you can find Natalie enjoying game nights, nature, and time with her husband, friends, and family!

Her favorite passage from the Bible is Isaiah 61 :1-11.

While busyness and hurry seem to be our normal way of life, we invite you to slow down this week to listen to the newest episode of Fulfilled with our guest, Cindy Green. Bethany and Cindy walk through the theme of Sabbath and rest found from the beginning to the end of our Bibles. Enjoy this enlightening conversation, and find comfort in knowing the Lord has modeled rest and calls us to follow Him in practicing it. Listen in to learn about examples of Sabbath rest throughout both the Old and New Testaments, and how Jesus came to become our True Sabbath Rest.

Cindy wants to live in a world where every human soul feels loved, cherished and valued. When she’s not cleaning or doing laundry, you can find her running. Her favorite scripture is 2 Corinthians 4:16-18: “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.“

On today’s episode of Fulfilled, guest Esther Hyland joins our host, Bethany Sibbitt to discuss the prophecy of the willing sacrifice found in Isaiah 53. Be encouraged by the hope and assurance we have in Christ, and the magnitude of God’s love for His people displayed by Jesus. It is our prayer that His fulfillment of this prophecy will build up your faith and cause you to sense the deep love of our Father-- especially during this difficult season.

Esther wants to live in a world where the Church meets needs so radically that programs like foster care or food stamps are no longer necessary. When she is not mothering her bio and foster children or leading worship through song, you can find her performing in one of Dayton’s theatre companies, where she seeks to bring the gospel to the local arts community. Esther’s favorite ways to recharge are enjoying good books and taking long walks out in nature. Her favorite books of this year so far include “None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us and Why That’s a Good Thing” by Jen Wilkin and “You Are The Girl For The Job” by Jess Connolly.

One of Esther’s favorite Bible passages is 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Her favorite scripture is Psalm 103:13-14: "As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust."
