- Post-Election Pause
Last week we started a new series but we felt that in light of all that has occurred in the country after the election, it made sense to have a sacred pause. So we’re doing just that to talk about how we’re experiencing this moment and why we will never apologize for hoping for a better and more just culture. Scripture tells us to be aware of the schemes of the enemy so we will look at the enemy’s hatred for women and hopefully name some of the ways you may have experienced that in the last week. Regardless of how you voted, we hope you’ll dig in with us.

1 hr 2 min - Female Biblical Imagery 101
Today we’re starting one of several episodes about the way feminine prophetic imagery is used in Scripture. It’s something we can skip over or presume shared understanding. Today we’re taking an opportunity to step back and look at an overview of prophetic imagery. We’re looking at some of the ways it may have tripped us up in the past and why we think it’s so powerful that these images are included in Scripture.

36 min - Jehosheba + Finding Election Hope
Welcome to season 4! We appreciated the hiatus, make sure to check out our Instagram for a look at what we each did during the break, and we are so excited to be back with all of you for a new season of finding our place in God’s story. As we begin season 4, this episode will be released during the final week before the 2024 presidential election. We know this has been a tumultuous and anxious time for our country and for most of us, so today we’re digging into a little-known story of a princess in Judah who acted boldly to save her family line and maintain covenant relationship with Yahweh. The story of Jehosheba is about a woman in one of Israel’s darkest times who refused to be overtaken by idolatry and tyranny, and chose to move with hope on behalf of her people. She is a fitting example for us today of what it can look like to walk faithfully with the Lord above all else, and to not give up on your people.

1 hr 8 min - What Do I Know Her From? | PriscillaThis is the final episode in our series for the month of June called “What do I know her from?” that digs deeper into the back story of an important woman in scripture that you may have vaguely heard of but don’t know her full story. It’s our last weekly episode before we pause for a summer hiatus. Today we’re digging into the story of Priscilla. Priscilla was a significant teacher in the early church. She serves as a reminder for us of the power of a theologically astute woman to shape culture and boldly correct false teaching.Read along with us:Acts 18:18-28Rom 16:3-51Cor 16:192 Tim 4:19To dig in to the other episodes referenced, check out:Greet Priscilla | Season 1, Episode 25Women Are to Remain Silent? | Season 1, Episode 22Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @excavatepodcastTo support the podcast on patreon visit: www.patreon.com/excavatepodcast Our patreon perks include new content, zoom calls, and the opportunity for our higher tier options to invite us to your small group.40 min
- What Do I Know Her From? | HuldahWe are continuing our series for the month of June called “What do I know her from?” We’re doing weekly episodes that each dig deeper into the back story of an important woman in scripture that you may have vaguely heard of but don’t know her full story. Today we’re talking about Huldah, a minor but crucial prophet for the kings of Israel. Her faithful worship of Yahweh allows her to lead a rare reform in Israel and to give the people a season of peace and union with God. Her story has so much to teach us about walking with integrity in our day, and that when we falter there is always a way back to the Lord.Read along with us:2 Kings 22:2, 8-202 Kings 23:21-25To dig in to the other episodes referenced, check out:Ladies Who Lead | Season 8, Episode 15Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @excavatepodcastTo support the podcast on patreon visit: www.patreon.com/excavatepodcast Our patreon perks include new content, zoom calls, and the opportunity for our higher tier options to invite us to your small group.47 min
- What Do I Know Her From? | RahabWe are excited to continue our series for the month of June called “What do I know her from?” We’ll be doing weekly episodes that each dig deeper into the back story of an important woman in scripture that you may have vaguely heard of but don’t know her full story. Today we’re digging into the story of Rahab. Rahab is often identified solely through her profession as a prostitute. We’ll look at the fullness of her story as a woman of audacious leadership who sacrifices much in her allegiance to the Lord.Read along with us:Josh. 2:1-14, 21Hebrews 11:31James 2:25To dig in to the other episodes referenced, check out:Jesus’ Family Tree | Season 1, Episode 15Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @excavatepodcastTo support the podcast on patreon visit: www.patreon.com/excavatepodcast Our patreon perks include new content, zoom calls, and the opportunity for our higher tier options to invite us to your small group.37 min
- What Do I Know Her From? | Leah + Rachel
We are very excited to start a new series today for the month of June called “What do I know her from?” We’ll be doing weekly episodes that each dig deeper into the back story of an important woman in scripture that you may have vaguely heard of but don’t know her full story. Today we’re starting with sisters Leah and Rachel. They are known for their rivalry, but that conflict arose from generation patterns of deceit and competition that got passed onto them. Their story is powerful and interesting, and is also a window into the things that women inherit and what it can look like for us to break generational patterns.

1 hr 2 min - Series Trailer | What Do I Know Her From?We are excited to announce a special series for the month of June called “What Do I Know Her From”? Each week we’ll be digging into the story of a woman in scripture that you may have vaguely heard of, or perhaps have heard her name a lot, but have never actually dug into her full story. For the next 4 weeks we’ll uncover the back stories of women that made big contributions to the history of God’s people and give them the flowers they deserve. We’ll be learning about Rahab, sisters Rachel and Leah, Huldah, and Priscilla. Each of these women have compelling and complex stories, some of which we’ve talked about in previous episodes but are all worth revisiting or discovering for the first time.Make sure to subscribe to the podcast if you haven’t already so you get notifications for new episodes, follow us on Instagram or Facebook, and please share the episodes with people in your circle so we can all uncover our place in God’s story together.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @excavatepodcastTo support the podcast on patreon visit: www.patreon.com/excavatepodcast Our patreon perks include new content, zoom calls, and the opportunity for our higher tier options to invite us to your small group.2 min
- Who Has Bewitched You?Today we’re synthesizing what we’ve been talking about in our last few episodes on the Babylonian exile and the rise of religious imagery and spirituality in pop culture, by discussing New Age spirituality. Things like astrology, manifesting, witchcraft and spells have become increasingly mainstream in the US, particularly among women. These type of practices are not new so we’ll be looking at some passages from the prophets that discuss these forms of spirituality and what drives them. We believe women are by nature highly spiritual, so stewarding our sensitivity to the spiritual realm is more important than ever.Read along with us:Jer. 44:11-26Psalm 19:1-4, translated by Calvin SeerveldGal 3:1Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @excavatepodcastTo support the podcast on patreon visit: www.patreon.com/excavatepodcast Our patreon perks include new content, zoom calls, and the opportunity for our higher tier options to invite us to your small group.1 hr 16 min
- Tortured Poets, Hot Takes, and Divesting from the Culture WarsIt’s an election year, which means culture wars are especially heightened. Women are often the target or the most impacted by reactionary rhetoric. Including most recently Taylor Swift with her new album release, so we’ll talk about what’s eliciting the controversy and some of our thoughts on interpreting The Tortured Poets Department. In a time when everything solicits a reaction, what does it look like to walk as faithful women?Read along with us:Rom. 12:14-21To dig in to the other episodes referenced, check out:Reconstructing Eve Part 1 | Season 1, episode 1Reconstructing Eve Part 2 | Season 1, episode 2Follow us on Instagram and Facebook @excavatepodcastTo support the podcast on patreon visit: www.patreon.com/excavatepodcast Our patreon perks include new content, zoom calls, and the opportunity for our higher tier options to invite us to your small group.1 hr 5 min
About Excavate
From the publisher's feed
Excavate | Uncovering Our Place in God's Story
Centuries of patriarchy have resulted in the presence of women in the Bible being suppressed and ignored. This podcast explores where women have always been evident in scripture so that things which have been long-buried may be newly discovered. We believe that God has always valued His daughters and our invitation is to celebrate where we are already seen and loved. We need not insert anything new, for we are already there.
