“Follow me.” “Peace, be still.” “It is finished.” The words of Jesus reveal who He is—and invite us to respond with faith, trust, and obedience.

In Episode 18 of The Teachable Podcast, Elizabeth concludes our series on the tongue by exploring eight life-changing sayings of Jesus. Through Scripture and personal stories of uncertainty, painful relationships, and a frightening moment as a mother, we consider what it means to trust Him when we cannot control the outcome.

Together, we explore faith that rests in God’s wisdom, Christ’s victory over death, daily submission to the Father, His finished work on the cross, and the hope of His return.

As you listen, ask yourself: Am I simply hearing the words of Jesus, or am I letting His truth change the way I live?

Let the Lord be magnified in your life this week.

What do your words reveal about your heart? The way we speak to our husbands, children, and friends reveals what is happening inside us.

In Episode 16 of The Teachable Podcast, we begin a new series on the tongue. Drawing from James 3, Jesus’ teaching, and Proverbs, we explore four kinds of talkers: the evil talker, the idle talker, the no talker, and the wise talker.

Through honest examples from everyday life, we consider anger, gossip, careless words, and the difference between wise silence and missed opportunities to speak. Together, we ask God for grace to use words that are gentle, truthful, encouraging, and full of wisdom.

Am I teachable in the way I use my words?

Let the Lord be magnified in your life this week.

What does forgiveness look like when we actually have to practice it?

In this episode, we work through My Forgiveness Checklist—a practical way to examine our hearts and relationships through the lens of biblical forgiveness.

We’ll look at three important questions: How have I wronged God? How have I wronged others? And who has wronged me that I need to forgive?

Forgiveness begins with recognizing sin, confessing what needs to be confessed, asking forgiveness from those we have wronged, and choosing to forgive those who have wronged us.

This episode is an invitation to honest self-examination and to develop a habit of dealing with sin and resentment before they take root.

Grab your checklist, open your Bible, and take some time to prayerfully examine your own heart.

“Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.” — Psalm 25:4

Forgiveness is easy to talk about—but much harder to practice when someone has genuinely hurt you.

In this episode, we explore:00:00 - Welcome and Forgiveness Recap01:17 - Choosing Forgiveness Toward Others02:01 - Jesus’ Parable of the Unforgiving Servant05:36 - Forgiveness Is a Command06:33 - Giving Forgiveness to Those Who Wrong You06:57 - Step 1: Identify the Sin13:55 - Step 2: Choose Forgiveness16:26 - Forgiveness, Accountability, and Restitution18:36 - Step 3: Show Forgiveness20:25 - Asking Forgiveness from Those You Have Wronged21:06 - Step 1: Identify Your Sin24:29 - Step 2: Confess Your Sin to God27:08 - Step 3: Confess to the Person You Wronged28:10 - Four Things to Say When Seeking Forgiveness30:36 - Walking in Forgiveness31:09 - Next Episode and Closing

We’ll look at Jesus’ teaching on forgiveness in Matthew 18 and discover why forgiveness is a choice rather than simply a feeling.

We’ll talk about the difference between forgiving someone and ignoring or excusing their wrongdoing, and how we can respond to offenses with love instead of bitterness, revenge, or a desire to hold onto the hurt.

But forgiveness also requires humility when we are the ones who have done wrong. We’ll discuss how to recognize our own sin, confess it to God, and humbly seek forgiveness from those we have hurt.

Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but God’s forgiveness toward us gives us the foundation and motivation to extend forgiveness to others.

Join us as we learn what it means to live with a truly teachable heart—even when forgiveness is hard.

Scripture: Matthew 18; Matthew 6:14; 1 John 1:9; Psalm 51; James 5:16

Follow along every Monday at 6 AM EST as we pursue a deeper knowledge of God and a more teachable spirit.

In Episode 13 of The Teachable Podcast, we begin a new series on forgiveness by looking at the greatest forgiveness we can ever receive: God's forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

What does it mean to be forgiven? Why do we need forgiveness in the first place? And how can a holy and righteous God forgive guilty sinners?

Through a courtroom illustration, we explore our guilt before God, the seriousness of sin, and why we could never earn our forgiveness through good works. Most importantly, we look at how Jesus took our place, paid the price for our sin, and made forgiveness possible through His sacrifice on the cross.

The Gospel is the beautiful truth that although we are guilty before God, Jesus paid our debt. Because of Him, we can experience redemption, forgiveness, and new life.

Join us as we begin this important series on forgiveness and discover anew the incredible grace God has shown us through His Son.

Key Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 — "In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."

In Episode 12 of The Teachable Podcast, we continue our series on humility and pride by getting practical. Understanding humility is important, but how do we actually live it out in our everyday lives?

In this episode, we explore

In this episode, we discuss practical ways to:

00:00 Staying on the Path of Humility01:33 Humility Toward God and Others02:14 Know How God Thinks05:01 Accept God's Ways07:36 Stop Trying to Earn God's Favor09:34 Grieve Over Your Sin11:24 Godly Sorrow vs. Worldly Sorrow12:42 Rededicate Yourself to God Daily14:14 Walking Humbly Toward Others15:13 Treat Every Person Equally17:26 Sacrifice for the Sake of Others18:34 Serve Others Like Jesus19:47 Be Quick to Admit When You're Wrong21:16 Make Things Right with Others22:39 Receive Correction with Humility24:05 Be Quick to Forgive24:37 Bring Hidden Sins into the Light25:43 Build Habits That Break Sin Patterns26:59 Value Others' Ideas and Opinions28:13 Wisdom and Honor Through Humility29:32 Closing Encouragement

A humble heart isn't simply a heart that thinks less of itself. It is a heart that recognizes that God's ways are higher than our ways and willingly chooses to listen, obey, learn, and grow.

As we examine these practical areas of life, you'll be challenged to consider: Am I truly walking in humility, or have I allowed pride to influence the way I think, respond, and relate to others?

Our desire through this series is not simply to understand humility, but to become women who are increasingly teachable, obedient, forgiving, and Christlike.

Key Scripture: Proverbs 18:12 — "Before honour is humility."

Join us as we continue pursuing a deeper knowledge of God and a more teachable spirit.

Are you stuck in the “pit of pride” and longing for the peace and rest that comes from walking in humility?

In Episode 11 of the Teachable Podcast, we continue our look at Pride vs. Humility and discover four practical steps for moving from pride toward a humble heart.

Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14, we explore:00:00 - Welcome00:17 - From Pride to Humility00:47 - How Do We Escape the Pit of Pride?01:10 - Climbing the Ladder to Humility01:22 - The Pit of Pride and Haven of Humility03:11 - God Resists the Proud03:22 - Four Steps from 2 Chronicles 7:1404:03 - Rung One: Submit to God04:38 - Know Who You Really Are05:26 - Pour Out Yourself06:19 - Accept God’s Gift of Salvation07:17 - Accept God’s Authority07:47 - Rung Two: Pray08:18 - Confess Your Sins09:12 - Praise God for His Mercy10:08 - Ask God for Help11:09 - Rung Three: Seek God12:04 - Seek God Through His Word12:28 - Commit to a Biblical Church13:18 - Listen to Biblical Teachers14:12 - Read Biblical Books15:25 - Rung Four: Turn from Your Wicked Ways16:47 - Remove Sources of Temptation18:14 - Evaluate Your Relationships19:53 - Examine Your Schedule20:40 - Find Accountability22:02 - Recap: The Four Rungs22:44 - Are You Walking in Pride or Humility?22:50 - Die to Self Daily23:17 - Responding to Praise with Humility24:18 - Closing Encouragement

Humility isn't about thinking poorly of yourself. It's about recognizing your dependence on God and giving Him His rightful place in your life.

But the journey doesn't end when we climb out of the “pit of pride.” We must continue to die to self daily and guard our hearts against pride as we pursue a deeper knowledge of God.

Join us as we learn how to leave the pit behind and find the haven of humility.

📖 Key Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:14

The Teachable Podcast is a women's ministry of Faith Baptist Ministries, created to encourage women to pursue a deeper knowledge of God and a more teachable spirit.

Pride is one of the greatest obstacles to spiritual growth because it often hides where we least expect it. It can appear as self-reliance, defensiveness, a desire for recognition, or an unwillingness to receive correction. Yet God's Word reminds us that "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble."

In this episode of The Teachable Podcast, we continue our study on Humility vs. Pride by examining 10 biblical signs of pride.
