The Call to Women in Faith Podcast

What happens when an atheist, a Muslim, a progressive, and a Christian walk into a bar? Apparently, a really good time — and a lot to think about. In this episode, we get honest about what happens to our faith when we step outside our tribe and into the pull of a secular world. The internal battle between good and evil is real, and the company we keep matters more than we think. Stay alert, stay connected, and stay in the Word — because isolation is the oldest warfare tactic in the enemy's playbook.

What is the greatest gift you can give another person? Prayer. In this episode, we explore what it means to truly pray for others and then do the hardest thing — wait. We cannot fill the space between our prayer and the outcome with worry or fear. The call is simple: pray, trust, and let go. Because a Father who loves us more than we love ourselves will always give us His best.

Modern workplace culture often lacks ownership and purpose — but Scripture has always been clear that work matters. In this episode, we explore what happens when a team member starts to fall short, and how prayer and the Holy Spirit can transform a performance problem into an opportunity for growth. If you've ever wondered how your faith should shape the way you lead people, this one's for you.

In this episode, we take a fresh look at Gary Chapman's 5 Love Languages — but through a spiritual lens. From the Bible as a personal love letter, to the ultimate act of laying down His life, to the quiet gift of His presence whenever you need it — God speaks every love language. Tune in for an intimate reflection on how deeply and deliberately God loves you, and how recognizing that love can transform the way you show up for others.

This episode is dedicate to a dear friend who is an amazing child of God.

This reflection uses the example of a strong yet overly submissive dog to illustrate how easily we can forget our true identity. Despite having the power to defend herself, the dog allows smaller dogs to dominate her—much like Christians who forget their strength in Christ. The speaker connects this to the believer’s identity as a “new creation” and a member of God’s family, emphasizing that this truth is often forgotten in moments of struggle or attack. When faced with fear, doubt, or spiritual opposition, Christians may feel weak because they lose sight of the authority and protection they have in God. Drawing from Scripture, the message reminds listeners that believers are adopted as God’s children and heirs with Christ, equipped with divine strength. The overall encouragement is to live daily with confidence, remembering one’s identity in Christ and walking in the victory and security that comes from belonging to Him. 

This reflection reminds listeners that while evil and temptation may seem more accessible in the world, Christians are called to remain faithful despite constant spiritual challenges. The speaker notes that doubt, fear, and hardships can gradually pull believers away from the security found in God. However, the victory of Jesus over sin and death assures believers that these struggles are temporary. Drawing from the passage in 1 Corinthians 15, the message emphasizes that through Christ, death has been defeated and believers are promised transformation and eternal life. Because of this victory, Christians are encouraged to remain steadfast, continue doing God’s work, and trust that their efforts are not in vain. The overall message calls believers to support one another, trust in God’s power, and live confidently in the hope and victory found in Christ.

This reflection explores a moment when the speaker felt frustrated that young adults were dismissing advice, which initially triggered feelings of pride and a bruised ego. After reflecting, the author realized that just as those young adults rely on their limited experience, adults can also assume they know enough—especially when it comes to listening to God. A conversation with an older friend who claimed to be “spiritual but not religious” further highlighted how people often rely on their own understanding instead of seeking deeper wisdom. This realization reminded the author that everyone, regardless of age, can fall into the trap of thinking they already know enough. Drawing on biblical wisdom, the author emphasizes the importance of humility, curiosity, and a teachable spirit before God. The message encourages listeners to approach life with openness, allowing Jesus to be the ultimate teacher who continually guides and shapes our understanding.

The speaker reflects on how meaningful books and quotes, such as a line from Pride and Prejudice, highlight the connection between goodness and happiness. They suggest that true happiness often comes from simple goodness, gratitude, and a pure heart, which is why children and people who appreciate simple things often seem happy. From a Christian perspective, believers are promised lasting joy through faith in Jesus Christ, even though temporary happiness may fade during life’s hardships. The author observes that practicing virtues like gratitude, kindness, compassion, and self-control tends to increase happiness in daily life. These virtues align with the “fruit of the Spirit,” which Christians develop as the Holy Spirit works to transform them. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to surrender to God’s guidance, cultivate goodness, and experience the joy and happiness that flow from a Spirit-led life.

The speaker reflects on missing several blog posts because she allowed negative thoughts to overwhelm her instead of turning to God in prayer. She compares this experience to the story of Elijah hiding in a cave, realizing that she too withdrew instead of seeking God’s presence. After hours of worry and distraction, she finally prayed and experienced the peace she could have received much earlier. She shares a childhood story about pinching her sister and learning from her father that while her feelings were valid, her reaction was wrong. This lesson reminds her that God, like a loving father, guides and transforms His children even when they make mistakes. The speaker concludes that God is present in both the valleys and the mountaintops of life, encouraging people to accept correction when they are wrong and trust God for justice and healing when they are hurt.

This is an episode about guarding the heart and following God given instinct to follow the law He wrote in our hearts. The speaker urges the listeners to listen to their hearts, run the feeling through scripture and the word of God before submitting to the thoughts that the world might put in our heads.
