Most people skip Genesis 5.

It’s just a genealogy, a long list of names and ages that feel almost impossible. 900 years? Really?

But what if this “boring” chapter is actually preaching something powerful?

In this episode of The Strong Dependent Women Podcast, we unpack why the people in Genesis 5 lived so long, what those extraordinary ages reveal about the world before the flood, and how this genealogy quietly points us to both the seriousness of sin and the faithfulness of God across generations.

We’ll also look at Enoch, the man who walked with God, and why his life (and his unusual ending) stands out in a chapter marked by the repeated phrase: “and he died.”

Genesis 5 isn’t filler.
It’s theology.
It’s legacy.
It’s a reminder that even in a dying world, walking with God changes everything.

Don’t skip this chapter.

Genesis 6-9 Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/strong-dependent-women/id1733323539?i=1000659764008

In this episode, we dive into Genesis 4 and the story of Cain and Abel, a powerful reminder that sin never stays small. What begins in the heart can quickly grow into distance between us and the Lord.

We talk about how unchecked jealousy, pride, and comparison can quietly pull us away from God, and how sin doesn’t just affect one moment, it affects our relationship with Him. The Lord lovingly warns Cain that sin is “crouching at the door,” and that same warning applies to us today.

If you’ve ever felt spiritually distant, struggled with comparison, or wrestled with hidden sin, this conversation will both challenge and encourage you. God’s desire isn’t to shame us, it’s to call us back before distance turns into separation.

Strong women aren’t self-sufficient. They are deeply dependent on the Lord.

Obedience to God doesn’t always lead to comfort, sometimes it leads straight into the fire. In this episode, we’re taking a brief break from our Genesis series to talk about what happens when you choose faithfulness even when it costs you. Why does doing the right thing sometimes make things harder? What does Scripture show us about obedience, refining, and trusting God when the heat is turned up?

Through a biblical lens and honest reflection, this conversation reminds us that God doesn’t waste the fire. He uses it to refine, strengthen, and draw us closer to Him. If you’ve ever wondered why obedience feels so heavy, or why life gets harder after you say yes to God, this episode is for you. We’ll pick back up in Genesis next week.

In this episode, we dive into Genesis 3 and unpack one of the most foundational moments in Scripture, the fall of humanity and what it reveals about temptation, deception, and the importance of standing firm on God’s truth.

We explore how the enemy subtly twists God’s words, how doubt enters the heart, and why knowing and trusting God’s truth matters so deeply in our everyday lives. From the garden to modern-day struggles, Genesis 3 reminds us that temptation often doesn’t look obvious, but God’s truth remains steady, trustworthy, and life-giving.

Whether you’re navigating faith, motherhood, marriage, or personal growth, this episode encourages you to recognize deception, cling to God’s Word, and stand firm when truth is challenged.

In this episode, we slow down and sit with Genesis 2, moving past the “creation recap” idea and into the heart of what this chapter reveals about God and us.

We talk about a God who forms, breathes, walks, and cares—a Creator who is deeply personal and intentional.

We’ll unpack what Genesis 2 teaches us about identity, work, rest, relationship, and why humanity was never meant to be independent from God or from one another. Whether you’ve read this chapter a hundred times or are seeing it with fresh eyes, this conversation invites you to reflect on how God’s original design still speaks into our everyday lives today.

Perfect for Christian women who want to understand Scripture more deeply without the pressure to have it all figured out.

In this episode we’re going back to the very beginning, Genesis. Together, we’ll walk through the foundations of Scripture and explore what this opening chapter reveals about who God is, who we are, and why dependence on Him is not weakness, but strength.

Whether you’ve read Genesis countless times or feel intimidated opening your Bible, this conversation is meant to feel approachable, honest, and encouraging. We’ll break down big ideas without overcomplicating them and talk about how Genesis 1 still shapes our faith, identity, and daily lives as Christian women today.

If you’ve ever wondered why the beginning matters, or how understanding Scripture from the ground up can deepen your trust in God, this episode is for you.
