In this deeply compassionate episode of Well and Grace, host Regina Bartlett speaks directly to the hearts of women who find themselves still waiting—waiting for the husband, the child, the life they dreamed of. With grace, wisdom, and biblical encouragement, Regina reminds listeners that waiting is not punishment, but preparation.

Anchored in Ecclesiastes 3:11, this episode offers hope to the women who feel forgotten, highlighting the beauty of God’s timing and the truth that you may already be a spiritual mother to many.

A moving testimony about Miss Irene—a beloved 90-year-old church member who never married or bore children, but was honored as a spiritual mother on Mother’s Day—will leave you inspired and affirmed in your calling, even in the wait.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 – "He has made everything beautiful in its time."

Psalm 27:14 – "Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!"

Stories of Hannah, Elizabeth, and Sarah – faithful women who waited and were used mightily by God.

You don’t have to carry a child in your womb to mother hearts with God’s love.

Waiting is not wasted time—it’s sacred ground where faith is forged.

God’s plan may look different than you imagined, but it is always good.

Stand tall in your identity—whether married, single, mother, or spiritual mentor.

Hear how Miss Irene, a woman in her 90s who had never married or had children, was recognized as a true spiritual mother in her church. Her tears of gratitude on that Mother’s Day will remind you that impact is not limited by biology—it is born of love and legacy.

“For the woman listening who aches for the sound of little feet or the warmth of a husband’s hand, wrap her in your unshakeable love… Show her glimpses of the miracle You’re preparing…”

On this final day of our Lenten journey, we celebrate the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28 unfolds the most transformative event in human history—the empty tomb. With historical depth and sacred awe, we reflect on the angelic declaration, the courage of the women at the tomb, and the commissioning power of the risen Savior. The resurrection is not the end of the story—it is the launching point of our call to go, make disciples, and live as resurrection people. He is risen, just as He said.

In This Episode:

Historical context of burial practices and Roman security

The role of women as first witnesses

Fulfillment of prophecy and the theology of resurrection

Jesus’ Great Commission to the disciples—and to us

A heartfelt prayer of praise for the risen Lord

Mentioned Scripture:

Matthew 28 (entire chapter)

Isaiah 53:9 (Messianic prophecy)

1 Corinthians 15:45 (Christ as the second Adam)

Matthew 16:21, 17:23, 20:19 (Jesus predicts His resurrection

#HeIsRisen #EmptyTomb #Matthew28 #ResurrectionSunday #RisenSavior  

On this Holy Saturday, we sit in the quiet place between the crucifixion and the resurrection. The tomb is sealed, the sky is silent, and the world is waiting. But even here, in the stillness, God is at work.

Join Regina Bartlett as she reflects on the silent strength of Joseph of Arimathea, the tension of the guarded tomb, and the mysterious power of a day that feels forgotten in the Easter story. Through the raw and personal story of her sister’s ruptured brain aneurysm — and the in-between time between diagnosis and miracle — Regina explores how Holy Saturday mirrors the waiting seasons in our own lives.

This is not a day of absence. This is the sacred pause where resurrection is being prepared.

In this powerful Good Friday reflection, we walk with Jesus through Matthew 27 and sit at the foot of the cross. This day, filled with suffering and sorrow, is called Good Friday—not because it was pleasant, but because of what Jesus accomplished through it. In today’s episode, Regina unpacks the historical and spiritual depth of this moment, shares her own adult revelation about the brutal reality of the crucifixion, and recognizes that the story of Barabbas isn’t just about someone else—it’s about all of us.

We don’t rush to Sunday. We sit in the stillness. In the weight. In the holy darkness.

In this powerful Holy Week reflection, we walk through one of the most emotionally charged chapters in all of Scripture. From the Last Supper to the Garden of Gethsemane, from betrayal by a friend to denial by a follower—Matthew 26:17–75 invites us to sit in the tension, grief, and love of Jesus’ final hours before the cross. Join Regina as she shares the historical and biblical context of this sacred passage, her personal story of spiritual denial and restoration, and a heartfelt prayer to draw us closer to Christ in these final days of Lent.
