God Hears Her Podcast

Guest Bio: Whitney Lowe is an author who wants to see young women excited about God’s work: in the Bible, in history, in the world, and in them. She writes and creates on Instagram, previously known as Scribble Devos, a project born from the realization that young women simply do not interact with the Bible enough to be changed by its truth. Whitney is passionate about disrupting the toxic scroll of social media with hope, peace, and light straight from Scripture. She lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband, who is a pastor, and their two young children. 

Show Summary: When you read the Bible, what stands out to you most about Jesus? His kindness? His servant heart? His patience? Whitney Lowe has been challenged through different seasons of her life to grow spiritually in different ways to become more like Jesus. Whether it’s conviction about an eating disorder or reading the Bible out loud to young kids, she’s determined to shine her light to lead others closer to Christ. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how Whitney has spiritually grown through different life seasons. This God Hears Her conversation will encourage and inspire you! 

Notes and Quotes:  

“If He is calling us into the service of hungry people then God wants us fed too.” —Whitney Lowe 

“If you are a parent, if you are a mother, that is spiritual formation. That is doing the work of ‘quiet time’ and maybe even more so because it is real and is happening in real time. If you allow God into that space, He is doing the transformative work.” —Whitney Lowe 

 “What if we just allowed God to spiritually form us in the struggles that are coming anyway, and we invited Him into those spaces through prayer?” —Whitney Lowe 

“I am a really big believer that we as a society are overthinking what it looks like to be sacrificial and servant-hearted. We start to think: ‘what organization do I need to start’ or ‘where am I supposed to put all my money for the year, who am I supposed to be giving to.’. When in actuality I think so many of us live in places where if we just open our eyes to our neighbors, we would see people who needed help and needed service.” —Whitney Lowe 

“I might not see the end result of that little act of faithfulness, but I know that God calls me to care about people.” —Whitney Lowe 

“We have to be okay, as believers, with people knowing that we are deeply flawed. You have to be okay with the reconciliation that might have to come after that sometimes and the fact that you don’t have to be strong because God will put people in your life that can be.” —Whitney Lowe 

Verses:  

Hosea 

Parable of the Sower: Matthew 13

Guest Bio: An award-winning author, popular professor, and international speaker on the intersections of faith, literature, and culture, Dr. Carolyn Weber, a Commonwealth Scholar, holds her BA Hon. from Huron University College, Canada and her MPhil and DPhil from Oxford University, England. She has taught students across continents and now enjoys teaching at New College Franklin and working with the creative community in the Nashville, Tennessee, area. Her book Surprised by Oxford, which won the Grace Irwin Award, the largest prize for best Christian writing in Canada, was made into a feature film. She resides in the country with her husband, four spirited children, and animal menagerie. 

Show Summary: Did you go to college and experience a complete change in your faith? Are you preparing to send a beloved child or children to college? During this God Hears Her conversation, guest Dr. Carolyn Weber relives her time of choosing faith at Oxford University while she prepares to send her daughter off to college. Join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they dig into Dr. Carolyn’s faith and her current feelings about sending her daughter off. 

Notes and Quotes:  

“We have to doubt as wisely as we have to believe.” —Dr. Carolyn Weber 

“What I was drawn to in some ways with the Christian faith was that it was not fair-weather. There wasn’t a sense of only loving people when you’re in the mood. Love was a verb and a decision. There isn’t a grace that can be earned.” —Dr. Carolyn Weber 

“[On the image of Christians] It’s not a personality; it’s just a glow of a surrendered life.” –Vivian Mabuni 

“There is so much messaging about self-worth and women, objectifying women and them not having a voice—which is completely the opposite of how Jesus treated women in the Bible, and that is all the more radical given the timeframe.” —Dr. Carolyn Weber 

“Take and eat—not take and think—take and eat in remembrance of me. Put your body back together that'’s been pulled apart by so many things, remember in me and undo the first lie in the garden that you’re not good enough.” —Dr. Carolyn Weber 

“There’s something deeper [with fellowship] because you know that you can go to them with repentance, truth, pain, sorrow, joy, questions, and they are called to walk with you and you with them.” —Dr. Carolyn Weber 

 “You are a daughter of the King. He is the lifter of your head and your shield. There are going to be times in life when you think you have to follow someone, but you have to follow Jesus.” —Dr. Carolyn Weber 

Verses:  

Women being the first to witness the resurrection: Luke 24:1-12 

The woman at the well: John 4 

Eve in the garden (the lie of not being good enough): Genesis 3

Notes and Quotes:

•  “One of the great dichotomies in the Christian faith is that when you surrender control, you gain so much more.” —Chelsea Damon 
• “. . . we’re doing the work and we’re ready to be receptive to God’s Word and what He has to say to us. And that’s the only place where what He plants can grow deep roots and get a foothold in our lives to bear fruit.” —Chelsea Damon

Show Summary: Did you know that 65-70% of moms struggle with feeling alone? Finding community can be hard during any part of life, but especially while you’re taking care of a child or children. Stay-at-home moms often live repetitive days at home with only their children, while working moms balance a schedule of feeling like they need to be in two places at once. How can moms find people to do life with? Tara Edelschick and Kathy Tuan-MacLean understand the struggle firsthand. Join them as they share their advice with hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins for this special Mother’s Day conversation on God Hears Her.  

Notes and Quotes:  

• “God did not intend us to go through life alone, gutting through it and hiding out in the pantry eating cookies. We might still go hid in the pantry to eat cookies, but God wants to give us a friend to talk to about it.” —Tara Edelschick 
• “Women want to be seen and heard by God and by each other.” —Tara Edelschick 
• “But because God loves to answer prayers that are in God's will, and that we be in community is definitely in God’s will, it is always a gift. And I believe that it’s a gift God wants to give us.” —Kathy Tuan-MacLean 
•  “God invites you to share your story. God asks you to trust and obey. God transforms your pain and then invites you to be an agent of shalom.” —Tara Edelschick 
• “As long as you don’t say no [to God using your story], no matter what you’re going through as a mom, there is transformation. God can use you, and all the pain you’ve been through, to help you be an agent of shalom—in your family and in the world. “—Tara Edelschick

Show Summary: What labels do you put on yourself? What labels have been put on you? We tend to define ourselves through both good and bad labels that shift over time.

Guest Bio: Jessica Herberger is a writer and Bible teacher who delights in connecting faith, history, and human flourishing. She is the author of Peace in the Dark, Life Surrendered, and Break Bread Together. Through her writing and speaking, Jessica encourages others to pursue a deeply formed spiritual life, grow in community, and love others well. Jessica and her husband, Josh, live in upstate New York with their three kids, where she can be found surrounded by books and music with her pup Winston always at her feet. 

Show Summary: When you read the gospels, how often do you stop to think about the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday? Holy Saturday, that often-overlooked day in between, was a day of silence as the disciples and followers of Jesus mourned His death. It was a day of deep grief and painful lament. Jessica Herberger has been in her own Holy Saturdays ever since the death of her mother. Her grief led her to honor Holy Saturday, and she is passionate about teaching people ways that they too can mark the day in between. Join hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins, as they learn about Holy Saturday and the ways we can honor it with guest, Jessica Herberger, during this God Hears Her conversation.  

Notes and Quotes:  

• “Holy Saturday is that time chronologically between the end of Good Friday and the beginning of Easter Sunday.” —Jessica Herberger   
• “I believe that there is not one single thing that happened between those days was accidental. I believe that every single thing that happened was God’s kindness and showing His church how to live, and that has to include this 24-hour period of where it feels like nothing is happening.” —Jessica Herberger   
•  “[Holy Saturday] makes [the hope of Easter] Sunday all the more richer when we realize that there was this dark, unknown period too. We’re called to hold both.” —Jessica Herberger   
• “At its core, lament is relational. It is a means of demonstrating your personal relationship with a God who hears you, who wants to hear you cry about because you know where to go to cry out.” —Jessica Herberger   
• “As we know who Jesus is, we can then remember His character. Knowing God’s character is really one of the most essential things someone can do to maintain a spiritually healthy life, because it is the filter that we must put everything.” —Jessica Herberger   

Verses:  

• Luke 23:55-56

Notes and Quotes:

Notes and Quotes:  

•  “I will tell you that raising teens has brought me to my knees. And really in those moments when I’m outside their ‘doors’ that [my teens] don’t want to let me in, knowing that Jesus is on the other side. . . somehow He with them and still with me on the other side of that door.” —Amy Betters-Midtvedt 
• “What I’m holding onto [when raising my teens], and what’s working for us, is this: Is every move going to keep me in connection and in relationship with my teenager?” —Amy Betters-Midtvedt  
• “If we are trying to teach [our teens] about being in relationships with others, there [are] consequences if you don’t live up to what you say you’re going to do. But it’s really involving them in the situation, because different situations call for different things.” —Amy Betters-Midtvedt
