        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Anna Laura is an entrepreneur at heart. Her Grandmother’s story of waving a white tablecloth to avoid attacks by bomber planes during World War II inspired Anna to start White Flag.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Brenda Palmer is an author, preacher, and podcaster with a passion for helping others encounter Jesus in transformative ways. She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies at Denver Seminary. As the visionary behind Come Alive Collective, a movement dedicated to hosting nationwide Bible studies and worship nights, Brenda believes life unfolds when we surrender to God’s plan. Whether she’s creating content, leading Bible studies, or preaching the gospel, Brenda’s mission is clear: to inspire others to say yes to God’s call. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> Are you the type of person that needs to know the plan before you commit to something? Do you find yourself saying no when you don’t know the details? Or are you always saying yes to any invitation? For anyone, following God’s calling often leads to unexpected opportunities. On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they learn from Brenda Palmer how saying yes to God can completely alter the course of your life.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“That moment made me want to pursue a God who wouldn’t change His mind even when I wanted Him to. Even when I tried to do what I thought was the worst things I could ever do to disqualify Him from calling me.” —Brenda Palmer </p><p> </p><p>“When you are high achieving, rest feels like a betrayal to the assignment.” —Brenda Palmer </p><p> </p><p>“There is a level of patience that comes with desperation. When I don’t have another option but to sit and wait—even if I feel like I’m not hearing—I can still sense that He’s here. I’m not getting any answers or relief but there’s a trust that I have in the God He’s been that gives me the capacity to wait when I feel like He’s not saying anything.” —Brenda Palmer </p><p> </p><p>“To bring Him into it [your situation] is saying ‘whatever you decide, whatever you think is best, could you condition my heart to be okay with that?’ Because if not, it’s still a place of entitlement.” —Brenda Palmer </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses: </strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20139&amp;version=NIV">Psalm 139</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206%3A25-34&amp;version=NIV">Matthew 6:25-34</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%203%3A5-6%20&amp;version=NIV">Proverbs 3:5-6</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%201%3A9&amp;version=NIV">1 Corinthians 1:9</a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Related Episodes: </strong> </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 95 - God’s Good Plans with Teresa Swanstrom Anderson: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/gods-good-plans/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/gods-good-plans/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 169 - Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Links: </strong> </p><ul><li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li>Brenda Palmer’s website: <a href="https://www.iambrendapalmer.com/">https://www.iambrendapalmer.com/</a> </li><li>Episode 218 Bible Study PDF: <a href="https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP218.pdf/6d7695aa31e411f19db3ae78bff3c806">https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP218.pdf/6d7695aa31e411f19db3ae78bff3c806</a> </li></ul>]]>

When I don’t have another option but to sit and wait—even if I feel like I’m not hearing—I can still sense that He’s here. I’m not getting any answers or relief but there’s a trust that I have in the God He’s been that gives me the capacity to wait when I feel like He’s not saying anything.” —Brenda Palmer </p><p> </p><p>“To bring Him into it [your situation] is saying ‘whatever you decide, whatever you think is best, could you condition my heart to be okay with that?’ Because if not, it’s still a place of entitlement.” —Brenda Palmer </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses: </strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20139&amp;version=NIV">Psalm 139</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%206%3A25-34&amp;version=NIV">Matthew 6:25-34</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%203%3A5-6%20&amp;version=NIV">Proverbs 3:5-6</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%201%3A9&amp;version=NIV">1 Corinthians 1:9</a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Related Episodes: </strong> </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 95 - God’s Good Plans with Teresa Swanstrom Anderson: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/gods-good-plans/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/gods-good-plans/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 169 - Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Links: </strong> </p><ul><li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li>Brenda Palmer’s website: <a href="https://www.iambrendapalmer.com/">https://www.iambrendapalmer.com/</a> </li><li>Episode 218 Bible Study PDF: <a href="https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP218.pdf/6d7695aa31e411f19db3ae78bff3c806">https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP218.pdf/6d7695aa31e411f19db3ae78bff3c806</a> </li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Steph Thurling is the Executive Director of Christian Parenting and host of <em>The Christian Parenting Podcast</em> as well as a speaker and the co-author of <em>Raising Prayerful Kids.</em> Steph has her master’s in youth, family, and culture from Fuller Theological Seminary and has a background in youth and children’s ministry. She loves helping families grow closer to each other and to God through meaningful experiences and conversations. Steph lives in Minnesota with her husband and three amazing and hilarious kids.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> Parenting and mentoring children comes with countless decisions—but how do you know when to say yes, when to say no, and how to hold loving boundaries that truly matter? Steph Thurling discovered the power of healthy boundaries through a difficult postpartum season and the ever-changing phases of motherhood.

We can rely on Him for provision.” —Steph Thurling </p><p> </p><p>“There is good community out there. God puts people in your life to get you through.” —Steph Thurling </p><p> </p><p>“My ultimate goal in my parenting is that my kids will know, love, follow, and share Jesus. That’s the best thing we could want for our kids. So, it’s really important that while we focus on the good things for our kids, we keep the best thing in mind.” —Steph Thurling </p><p> </p><p>“He is writing their story and I’m not.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Mary Marantz is the bestselling author of Dirt and Underestimated, as well as the host of the popular podcast The Mary Marantz Show. She grew up in a trailer in rural West Virginia and was the first in her family to go to college before going to Yale for law school. Her work has been featured on CNN, MSN, Business Insider, Bustle, Thrive Global, Southern Living, Hallmark Home &amp; Family, and more. She and her husband, Justin, live in an 1880s fixer-upper by the sea in New Haven, Connecticut, with their two very fluffy golden retrievers, Goodspeed and Atticus. <br> <br><strong>Show Summary:</strong> Do you ever feel like you’re running a never-ending race as you try to achieve things or work for things that seem out of reach? Mary Marantz spent most of her life striving for success in her career and was never satisfied with the results, even when they were great. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they take a peek behind the curtain of Mary’s life and find out how she eventually learned to pursue God instead of success during this God Hears Her conversation.  <br> <br><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> <br>“No matter how hard you run, you can’t outrun you.” —Mary Marantz <br> <br>“Burnout is not coasting off the side of the road, running out of gas gently. It’s 90 miles an hour and then you slam into a brick wall and the transmission falls out. It is a very sudden stop.” —Mary Marantz <br> <br>“Wisdom finally gets a chance to take root because you’re just too tired to have these tightly gripped fists anymore.” —Mary Marantz <br> <br>“I’ve had to learn that lesson over and over again of just how quickly I wilt and wither when I’m not abiding, when I’m not tethered to the vine, when I am just a branch trying to grow fruit on my own. How quickly I struggle in the drought, how quickly I stop bearing fruit when I’m away from the water.” —Mary Marantz <br> <br><strong>Verses: </strong> <br>Jeremiah 17:8  <br>John 15:1-17 <br> <br><strong>Related Episodes: </strong> <br>GHH Ep 2 – The Beauty of Broken with Elisa Morgan: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/beauty-of-broken/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/beauty-of-broken/</a> <br>GHH Ep 69 – Finding Inner Peace with Kay Wills Wyma: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/finding-inner-peace/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/finding-inner-peace/</a> <br>GHH Ep 169 – Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/</a> <br> <br><strong>Links: </strong> <br>Mary Marantz’s Website: <a href="https://marymarantz.com/">https://marymarantz.com/</a> <br>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  <br>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a><br>Episode 213 Bible Study PDF: <a href="https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP213_Final+Output+%281%29.pdf/e049bec2f60c11f09bfa4e7ee23f2e1e">https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP213_Final+Output+%281%29.pdf/e049bec2f60c11f09bfa4e7ee23f2e1e</a> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> Which fruit of the Spirit do you struggle with? As we work to be more Christlike, we often struggle with different Spirit-produced characteristics in different seasons of life. In this special <em>God Hears Her</em> conversation hosted by Eryn Eddy Adkins, Elisa Morgan invites us to consider the fruit of the Spirit and how we can grow in these qualities of character to reflect Jesus in everything we do.   </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“Most of us, no matter what our age, we want to grow a life that matters.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Kelly Minter is passionate about God’s Word and believes it permeates all of life. The personal healing and steadfast hope she’s found in the pages of Scripture fuel her passion to connect God’s Word to our everyday lives. When she’s not writing or teaching, you can find her tending her garden, taking a walk with friends, cooking for her nieces and nephews, riding a boat down the Amazon River, or walking through a Moldovan village with <a href="https://justiceandmercy.org/kellyminter"><strong>Justice &amp; Mercy International</strong></a>.

Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they explore these different practices with Trillia during this special <em>God Hears Her</em> Christmas episode!  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“We are able to celebrate and enjoy these gifts because He’s the giver of all good gifts.” —Trillia Newbell </p><p> </p><p>“There’s no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. There is grace for repentance. You don’t stand guilty or condemned. You can ask the Lord for help, grace, and strength and receive His forgiveness.” —Trillia Newbell </p><p> </p><p>“The joy of the Lord is my strength. I believe that joy and faith are a gift, so ask God for it.” —Trillia Newbell </p><p> </p><p>“We approach a throne of grace. We approach a God who understands, who draws near to the brokenhearted.” —Trillia Newbell </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses: </strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201%3A38&amp;version=NIV">John 1:38</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=Hebrews&amp;version=NIV">Hebrews</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%206%3A10&amp;version=NIV">2 Corinthians 6:10</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=psalms&amp;version=NIV">Psalms</a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong> </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 71 – Christ As A Baby: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/christ-as-a-baby/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/christ-as-a-baby/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 111 – Christmas Expectations with Ruth Chou Simons: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/christmas-expectations/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/christmas-expectations/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 174 – The True Miracle of Christmas: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/the-true-miracle-of-christmas/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/the-true-miracle-of-christmas/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Links: </strong> </p><ul><li>Trillia’s Website: <a href="https://www.trillianewbell.com/">https://www.trillianewbell.com/</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Amy is an author, speaker, pastor, wife, and co-ringmaster to her circus of three kids. Through the many face-plants and mudslides in her life, God opened doors for her to write books and to travel and speak, inviting others to discover grace in their daily lives. She is also one of the pastors at Soma City Church in Toledo, OH.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Adrienne “Adie” Camp is a South African singer, author, and former lead vocalist of the Christian rock band The Benjamin Gate. After moving to the U.S., she released two solo albums and co-authored In Unison with her husband and fellow musician, Jeremy Camp. Married since 2003, they share a passion for family and encouraging others. Adrienne is also the author of the children’s book “<em>Even Me”</em> and the Bible study “<em>As for Me: Life Through the Lens of the Psalms”</em>, published through Lifeway. A homeschool mom and mother of three incredible kids—Bella, Arie, and Egan—she is currently working on her master’s degree in Biblical Studies and Theology from Denver Seminary. She has a deep heart for seeing the love of Jesus reach the nations, and continues to inspire through her multifaceted career, blending artistry, authorship, and ministry. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> When was the last time you cried out to God or thanked Him for something good in your life? Adrienne Camp found that the Psalms set an example for talking to God during every moment of our lives. Join host Vivian Mabuni as she explores life through the Psalms with Adrienne Camp during this God Hears Her conversation.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“No matter what is going on around me, I am going to set my heart to seek the Lord.” —Adrienne Camp </p><p> </p><p>“In our culture, there are so many opinions and so many polarizing things, but I think the heart of it is that we can’t lose sight of who Jesus is and who He has called us to be as a church.” —Adrienne Camp </p><p> </p><p>“I think God wants us to cry out to Him. He wants us to feel the brokenness because it allows us to long for the real thing, and that’s Him.” —Adrienne Camp </p><p> </p><p>“If you think about it, a lament is actually a cry of faith because it’s a call of asking God to show His character strong. In a sense, it’s a declaration of faith that says, “I know who you are. I know what You can provide for me so provide it for me! Why are you delaying?” It’s a declaration of faith for God and His character.” —Adrienne Camp </p><p> </p><p>“When we honestly and genuinely engage God with what we’re really feeling, God meets us.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> As an atheist transformed by the Word of God, Mariel Davenport knows the power of seeking God through Scripture. She is passionate about equipping ladies of all ages to tend their souls with the Word through her TEND method. As a trained Bible teacher with Precepts Ministries and Community Bible Study and a mentor for Florish Writers and Hope Writers, Mariel currently has a Bible study contract with Our Daily Bread Publishers. Married for over 25 years to her college sweetheart, and a retired homeschool mom of two grown sons, Mariel enjoys salsa from her garden as she pursues the Gardener who tends her soul.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> What has been your experience in your personal Bible study time? Do you often follow a study or just open your Bible? Soon after she gave her life to Christ, Mariel Davenport found herself focusing on Bible studies more than the actual Word of God. As she turned her attention back to Scripture and spent time in her salsa garden, she developed a method of Bible study called the TEND method, based on her gardening habits. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they learn Mariel’s testimony and the TEND method during this insightful <em>God Hears Her</em> conversation.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“I was tending to my salsa garden that summer, and I really felt like the Lord was reminding me that is how He tends to me. It's just little by little by little. It can just be slow and methodical and intentional.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“If we can lean in and look at just a few verses at a time and ask ‘what is this teaching about God?’ it is amazing how He [the Holy Spirit] will illuminate that to us.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“We serve a triune God. He Himself is community, and He created us for community.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“God is pursuing the heart of every single one of us if we would just come to Him. Even in my skepticism, anger, and pride, God was still willing to reveal Himself to me when I got into His Word. He saw my need and met me right there.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“I really think that the more we say 'I don’t know what I’m doing,’ the more He’ll say, ‘That’s exactly where you need to be.’ Because it is in our weakness that His power is made perfect.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“Our need of Jesus is really the whole point.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“Be careful that you don’t believe the lies that you can’t understand Scripture. No matter who you are, if the Holy Spirit lives in you then you can, by the power and grace of God, understand His Word. Don’t let culture and the distractions tell you otherwise, because God is faithful to His Word and He will accomplish what He set out to do with it.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses: </strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204&amp;version=NIV">Ephesians 4</a>   </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark%2013&amp;version=NIV">Mark 13</a> – Jesus talking about His second coming; being on guard and awake. </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2029%3A29%20&amp;version=NIV">Deuteronomy 29:29</a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong> </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 146 – Reading Truth with Amanda Williams: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/reading-truth/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/reading-truth/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Links: </strong> </p><ul><li>Mariel Davenport’s Website: <a href="https://marieldavenport.com/">https://marieldavenport.com/</a> </li><li><em>Ruth: Finding Grace in the Unexpected</em>: <a href="https://a.co/d/64UKS7T">https://a.co/d/64UKS7T</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her </em>Survey: <a href="http://godhearsher.org/survey">http://godhearsher.org/survey</a> </li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> As an atheist transformed by the Word of God, Mariel Davenport knows the power of seeking God through Scripture. She is passionate about equipping ladies of all ages to tend their souls with the Word through her TEND method. As a trained Bible teacher with Precepts Ministries and Community Bible Study and a mentor for Florish Writers and Hope Writers, Mariel currently has a Bible study contract with Our Daily Bread Publishers. Married for over 25 years to her college sweetheart, and a retired homeschool mom of two grown sons, Mariel enjoys salsa from her garden as she pursues the Gardener who tends her soul.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> What has been your experience in your personal Bible study time? Do you often follow a study or just open your Bible? Soon after she gave her life to Christ, Mariel Davenport found herself focusing on Bible studies more than the actual Word of God. As she turned her attention back to Scripture and spent time in her salsa garden, she developed a method of Bible study called the TEND method, based on her gardening habits. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they learn Mariel’s testimony and the TEND method during this insightful <em>God Hears Her</em> conversation.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“I was tending to my salsa garden that summer, and I really felt like the Lord was reminding me that is how He tends to me. It's just little by little by little. It can just be slow and methodical and intentional.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“If we can lean in and look at just a few verses at a time and ask ‘what is this teaching about God?’ it is amazing how He [the Holy Spirit] will illuminate that to us.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“We serve a triune God. He Himself is community, and He created us for community.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“God is pursuing the heart of every single one of us if we would just come to Him. Even in my skepticism, anger, and pride, God was still willing to reveal Himself to me when I got into His Word. He saw my need and met me right there.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“I really think that the more we say 'I don’t know what I’m doing,’ the more He’ll say, ‘That’s exactly where you need to be.’ Because it is in our weakness that His power is made perfect.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“Our need of Jesus is really the whole point.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p>“Be careful that you don’t believe the lies that you can’t understand Scripture. No matter who you are, if the Holy Spirit lives in you then you can, by the power and grace of God, understand His Word. Don’t let culture and the distractions tell you otherwise, because God is faithful to His Word and He will accomplish what He set out to do with it.” —Mariel Davenport </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses: </strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204&amp;version=NIV">Ephesians 4</a>   </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=mark%2013&amp;version=NIV">Mark 13</a> – Jesus talking about His second coming; being on guard and awake. </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2029%3A29%20&amp;version=NIV">Deuteronomy 29:29</a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong> </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 146 – Reading Truth with Amanda Williams: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/reading-truth/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/reading-truth/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Links: </strong> </p><ul><li>Mariel Davenport’s Website: <a href="https://marieldavenport.com/">https://marieldavenport.com/</a> </li><li><em>Ruth: Finding Grace in the Unexpected</em>: <a href="https://a.co/d/64UKS7T">https://a.co/d/64UKS7T</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her </em>Survey: <a href="http://godhearsher.org/survey">http://godhearsher.org/survey</a> </li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> What do you think of when you hear someone talking about their calling or their purpose? We tend to think of calling as our specific job or the talents the Lord has blessed us with, but hosts Elisa Morgan, Eryn Eddy Adkins, and Vivian Mabuni challenge this thinking by diving into Scripture. What if the Lord has an everyday calling and purpose for each of us? Explore what this means from Mark 1:16-20 during this God Hears Her conversation.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“Every call has two steps. There’s a call to something and there’s a call from something. First, we’re called to God and to a relationship.” —Elisa Morgan </p><p> </p><p>“He came to me with a question, and it was ‘are you tired?’ And I was very tired. He knew I needed to be asked a question, not told what to do. He knew that He needed to show curiosity to me for me to open up.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins </p><p> </p><p>“The only reason I think they [the disciples] could have ever responded to a role was because they were called to a relationship. It is the overwhelming presence and power of presence that called them.” —Elisa Morgan </p><p> </p><p>"When you’re all in, then there’s this relationship, this intimacy with God that can’t be manufactured or bought or mustered up.” —Vivian Mabuni </p><p> </p><p>“The core pieces of ‘a call’ is a call to a relationship with an undeniably powerful God who wants what is good for us and a call for a role where He uniquely places us in opportunities, vocations where we can use our gifts for His good. And then to accomplish those things, we need to leave some things behind. There’s a call <em>from </em>certain things.” —Elisa Morgan </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses: </strong> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2011%3A28&amp;version=MSG">Matthew 11:28</a> (the message version) </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%201%3A16-20%20&amp;version=NIV">Mark 1:16-20</a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong> </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 138 - God’s Purpose with Dr. Lynn Cohick: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/gods-purpose/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/gods-purpose/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Links: </strong> </p><ul><li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her </em>Survey:  <a href="http://godhearsher.org/survey">http://godhearsher.org/survey</a> </li></ul>]]>

We don’t know what we’re responsible for and what He’s responsible for. We’ve somehow bought this lie that we graduate from needing Him—but I don’t want to get over that.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> How long have you been listening to the God Hears Her podcast? Today, we are so excited to celebrate 200 episodes with you! Join producers Jade Gustman and Mary Jo Clark as they talk to hosts Elisa Morgan, Eryn Eddy Adkins, and Vivian Mabuni about what it’s like to work on God Hears Her and how they all came to be working on the podcast. You don’t want to miss this fun and special God Hears Her conversation!  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p> </p><p>“Especially as a woman, when He invites you through a door of opportunity to lead, you go through it. But you keep your foot in the door for the next woman behind you.” —Elisa Morgan </p><p> </p><p>“We’ve had a lot of identity conversations on this show, which have just been an absolute blessing for me because it reminds me to recenter myself with who’s defining me, and that’s God. It's not my job, it's not my body, it's not my children, it’s not my status of being single or married.” —Mary Jo Clark </p><p> </p><p>“Faith builds faith. When I’m listening to these stories of faith, it has built mine.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins </p><p> </p><p>“God knows. He sees. He hears. We say it all the time in the podcast, but it’s true! We belong to Him. None of our thumbprints are the same. None of our stories are the same. What an honor to be able to have that moment to hear these stories and to recognize God at work. God is a 360-degree God. He shows Himself faithful. It [these stories] helps me to build a framework for <em>when </em>life gets challenging.” —Vivian Mabuni </p><p> </p><p>“The Lord is not going to abandon me. The Lord has put me here—specifically here—for a reason. I will grow and I will change and I will heal, and it will be a constant journey, but knowing that the Lord is still hearing me—He’s always here, and He’s always leading us.” —Jade Gustman </p><p> </p><p>“My spiritual growth has been impacted by the permission I have been given through these women’s stories.” —Mary Jo Clark </p><p> </p><p>“Even if I still feel unqualified at the end, God brought me through something that was an opportunity to grow and to build muscles. Just because you’re not qualified doesn’t mean that God isn’t calling you.” —Mary Jo Clark  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses: </strong> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%201&amp;version=NIV"><strong>Psalmists</strong></a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2013%3A17-22&amp;version=GW"><strong>Moses leading God’s people</strong></a><strong> </strong> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong> </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 94 – Q&amp;A with Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/qa/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/qa/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 100 – Looking Back to Move Forward: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/looking-back-to-move-forward-our-100th-episode/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/looking-back-to-move-forward-our-100th-episode/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Links: </strong> </p><ul><li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li>Share Your Story:  <a href="https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/">https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her </em>email sign-up:<em> </em><a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191"><em>https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191</em></a></li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Rachel Britton is a British-born author, speaker, and blogger. Her passion is to help women become comfortable and confident in their conversation with God. Rachel has lived in the United States since 1995. Her career began in newspaper and magazine publishing in London. She worked for BBC Worldwide before moving to the USA. Rachel is a contributing author in a number of traditionally published books, Guidepost publications, and online material with Bible Study Tools. Her most recent book, “Pray Naturally,” released January 7, 2025, with Our Daily Bread Publishing. Rachel is the creator and writer of an Amazon Alexa skill app—“Alexa, say a prayer”—which receives approximately 1,500 requests per day. Rachel holds a master’s in religion from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She is Director of reNEW ~ spiritual retreat for writers and speakers held annually in the northeast which she operates through her nonprofit organization, Rachel Britton Ministries. Rachel is married with three young adult children spread over too many time zones. She loves to escape to the mountains of Colorado to write, hike, and ski. She blogs on prayer regularly at her online home, rachelbritton.com.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> When you’re facing a big challenge or transition in your life, is it hard to pray? Often, we forget about God in the stress and anxiety of whatever life throws at us, but He is right there waiting for you to talk to Him. Rachel Britton felt hopeless when she and her husband moved to the United States from Britain. As she faced the biggest transition of her life, she remembered God and cried out to Him. Now, Rachel encourages women to pray naturally with God through whatever they face. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how to pray naturally with Rachel during this God Hears Her conversation.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p> </p><p>“I realized that God had taken me from all the things that distracted me from Him. He moved me across the Atlantic, and it was like He stood in front of me and said, ‘Rachel, would you now take notice of me?’ I didn’t see it as punishment; I saw it as love. Love that He cared so much about me that He would take me away from the things that kept me from Him.” —Rachel Britton </p><p> </p><p>“God knows what is going on in our minds and our hearts, and He honors that and He hears and He helps us. In those times spent with Him, that's when we grow in our faith, and He grows us so that those fears start to get less.” —Rachel Britton  </p><p> </p><p>“He knows what we’re thinking anyhow. He knows what's in our hearts anyhow, so we can bring it to Him, however it sounds.” —Rachel Britton </p><p> </p><p>“We have to hold onto those times when God has come through for us.

Her career began in newspaper and magazine publishing in London. She worked for BBC Worldwide before moving to the USA. Rachel is a contributing author in a number of traditionally published books, Guidepost publications, and online material with Bible Study Tools. Her most recent book, “Pray Naturally,” released January 7, 2025, with Our Daily Bread Publishing. Rachel is the creator and writer of an Amazon Alexa skill app—“Alexa, say a prayer”—which receives approximately 1,500 requests per day.

She blogs on prayer regularly at her online home, rachelbritton.com.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> When you’re facing a big challenge or transition in your life, is it hard to pray? Often, we forget about God in the stress and anxiety of whatever life throws at us, but He is right there waiting for you to talk to Him. Rachel Britton felt hopeless when she and her husband moved to the United States from Britain. As she faced the biggest transition of her life, she remembered God and cried out to Him. Now, Rachel encourages women to pray naturally with God through whatever they face. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how to pray naturally with Rachel during this God Hears Her conversation.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p> </p><p>“I realized that God had taken me from all the things that distracted me from Him. He moved me across the Atlantic, and it was like He stood in front of me and said, ‘Rachel, would you now take notice of me?’ I didn’t see it as punishment; I saw it as love. Love that He cared so much about me that He would take me away from the things that kept me from Him.” —Rachel Britton </p><p> </p><p>“God knows what is going on in our minds and our hearts, and He honors that and He hears and He helps us. In those times spent with Him, that's when we grow in our faith, and He grows us so that those fears start to get less.” —Rachel Britton  </p><p> </p><p>“He knows what we’re thinking anyhow. He knows what's in our hearts anyhow, so we can bring it to Him, however it sounds.” —Rachel Britton </p><p> </p><p>“We have to hold onto those times when God has come through for us. If He’s done it before, He’ll do it again.” —Rachel Britton </p><p> </p><p><strong>Verses: </strong> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=exodus%202&amp;version=NIV">Exodus 2</a> - Moses being hidden as a baby </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2011%3A23&amp;version=NIV">Hebrews 11:23</a> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%202&amp;version=NIV">Joshua 2</a> – Rahab hiding the spies </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Related Episodes:</strong> </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 6 – How We Hear from God with Eryn and Elisa: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/how-we-hear-from-god/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/how-we-hear-from-god/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 86 – When We Pray Like Jesus with Elisa and Eryn: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/when-we-pray-like-jesus/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/when-we-pray-like-jesus/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 99 – Conversations with God with Lori Hatcher: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/conversations-with-god/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/conversations-with-god/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p><strong>Links: </strong> </p><ul><li>Rachel Britton’s Website: <a href="https://rachelbritton.com/">https://rachelbritton.com/</a> </li><li>Rachel’s Book<em> Pray Naturally: </em><a href="https://a.co/d/1PIIxNP">https://a.co/d/1PIIxNP</a> </li><li><em>Unshakable Moxie</em> BOGO Deal: <a href="https://go.odb.org/bogo">https://go.odb.org/bogo</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li>Share Your Story:  <a href="https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/">https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/</a> </li><li><em>God Hears Her </em>email sign-up:<em> </em><a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191"><em>https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191</em></a><em> </em>  </li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Ashley and her husband, Jon, discovered Pure Desire during the devastation and erosion of their marriage due to a pornography addiction. After four years of providing Pure Desire groups for men, women, and youth at their local church, restoration has taken place. As the Associate Director of Women’s Groups for Pure Desire, Ashley provides leadership and training to their Regional Group Advisors (RGAs) throughout the country. She has been instrumental in training new leaders to advance the message of hope and healing in the church and community. Ashley is a contributing author to <em>Betrayal and Beyond</em>; <em>Unraveled: Managing Love, Sex, and Relationships</em>; and <em>Authentically You</em>. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> When was a time that you realized you were building an unhealthy pattern or routine? Sin can be sneaky; one choice can lead to a series of devastating habits that unravel good things in your life. Ashley Jameson felt a hurtful distance in her marriage that eventually led to her digging through her husband’s phone. As she did, she discovered that he was hiding a porn addiction. Have you experienced that? Do you have a loved one in that situation? Join hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they hear Ashley’s testimony and learn how to begin restoration after discovering a love or sex addiction. You don’t want to miss this powerful <em>God Hears Her</em> conversation.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p> </p><p>“It is all about Jesus, but somewhere along the line, people hurt us, so we stopped believing the truth and started believing lies. We started living through this filter that we weren’t supposed to be living through.” —Ashley Jameson </p><p> </p><p>“We need to go back to the beginning to figure out what happened that made us stop believing what God says about us and understand our value in Christ.” —Ashley Jameson </p><p> </p><p>“Bringing your mess to the church is something that is becoming more and more acceptable, but it still has so many challenges.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins </p><p> </p><p>“I can’t expect perfection; I can’t idolize my husband. He is his own messy person with his own messy relationship with God.” —Ashley Jameson </p><p> </p><p>“Give yourself space.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Ellen Wildman holds a BA in Bible and Ministry to Women from Moody Bible Institute and a MA in Biblical and Theological Studies from Denver Seminary. Through her writing, she seeks to create space for nuance, personality, and joy within theology, believing that Christian academia has room for everyone. Her first book, <em>Single and Not Sorry</em>, was an Amazon bestseller in Dating and Relationships for six weeks. Ellen lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her spicy cat, Rey. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> When someone compliments you, how do you usually respond? During those moments, it’s easy to brush off the kind words or ignore the encouragement. When it comes to our body and appearance, we often have more negative thoughts than positive. This has led Ellen Wildman on a journey to discover how God views His creation and how that can impact the way we view our own bodies. Join host Eryn Eddy Adkins and Ellen as they talk about what the Bible says when it comes to our earthly bodies. You don’t want to miss this <em>God Hears Her </em>conversation about body image.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“The biggest lie is that our body is disconnected from God and disconnected from our faith.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“Every part of me is made in God’s image, including my body.”—Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“Sometimes God is calling me to rest in Him and it’s not by reading Scripture, but my giving me a visual of resting in His arms.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins </p><p> </p><p>“I will never fully be able to accept my body outside of seeing it as God’s creation.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“The more I thought about being made in God’s image, the more I realized that it really affected every part of my life. It helps me to see my body as beloved and as good because it was made by God, designed by Him, and blessed by Him. It also helps me to give others more grace because I can see them as being made in God’s image.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“Even those who fit into the ‘ideal’ [image] are struggling with the same things.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“It’s not people that have created these [standards]. Maybe we perpetuate the standards a bit, but we haven’t created and maintained them. It’s really diet culture and the industry of always making us feel less-than. To me, that feels really unifying in that we can unify against them instead of against each other.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“The more I have worked on how I see my own body and how I feel at home in my own body has changed the way that I speak to others because I want them to feel this way too.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“The way we see our bodies is important, but it'’s not the most important thing.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“Reflecting God is an essential part of who I am.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Guest Bio:</strong> Ellen Wildman holds a BA in Bible and Ministry to Women from Moody Bible Institute and a MA in Biblical and Theological Studies from Denver Seminary. Through her writing, she seeks to create space for nuance, personality, and joy within theology, believing that Christian academia has room for everyone. Her first book, <em>Single and Not Sorry</em>, was an Amazon bestseller in Dating and Relationships for six weeks. Ellen lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her spicy cat, Rey. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Show Summary:</strong> When someone compliments you, how do you usually respond? During those moments, it’s easy to brush off the kind words or ignore the encouragement. When it comes to our body and appearance, we often have more negative thoughts than positive. This has led Ellen Wildman on a journey to discover how God views His creation and how that can impact the way we view our own bodies. Join host Eryn Eddy Adkins and Ellen as they talk about what the Bible says when it comes to our earthly bodies. You don’t want to miss this <em>God Hears Her </em>conversation about body image.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>Notes and Quotes: </strong> </p><p>“The biggest lie is that our body is disconnected from God and disconnected from our faith.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“Every part of me is made in God’s image, including my body.”—Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“Sometimes God is calling me to rest in Him and it’s not by reading Scripture, but my giving me a visual of resting in His arms.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins </p><p> </p><p>“I will never fully be able to accept my body outside of seeing it as God’s creation.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“The more I thought about being made in God’s image, the more I realized that it really affected every part of my life. It helps me to see my body as beloved and as good because it was made by God, designed by Him, and blessed by Him. It also helps me to give others more grace because I can see them as being made in God’s image.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“Even those who fit into the ‘ideal’ [image] are struggling with the same things.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“It’s not people that have created these [standards]. Maybe we perpetuate the standards a bit, but we haven’t created and maintained them. It’s really diet culture and the industry of always making us feel less-than. To me, that feels really unifying in that we can unify against them instead of against each other.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“The more I have worked on how I see my own body and how I feel at home in my own body has changed the way that I speak to others because I want them to feel this way too.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“The way we see our bodies is important, but it'’s not the most important thing.” —Ellen Wildman </p><p> </p><p>“Reflecting God is an essential part of who I am.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Storytelling is Melissa Harrison’s passion. She has been a TV news anchor and reporter for more than 20 years at television and radio stations around the country including at WNBC-TV in New York City, WFAA-TV, and CBS Radio in Dallas. While she is most passionate about telling other people’s stories, she never imagined that she would one day find herself on “the other side” of the headline until she received a phone call that changed her life forever. Melissa was 25 years old and hosting a dinner party when a detective called to tell her that her mom had been murdered. To make matters worse, she discovered that the crime was committed by someone she knew and loved dearly. In an instant, her world changed forever. After experiencing what it was like to have her personal life and deepest pain portrayed in the media, she is writing a book about her story in the hopes that it will encourage anyone who is experiencing pain and loss to know that they can make it through—and to serve as a reminder for journalists of the great privilege and responsibility they have when reporting on other people’s stories of tragedy and pain. She now uses her storytelling and leadership skills to connect people and resources to organizations that empower journalists and business leaders to make a positive impact on the world. One of her greatest passions is connecting and supporting women leaders by creating community and space for them to be fully seen and known. Through women’s events, executive cohorts, retreats, and conferences, she helps women leaders experience healing and renewed purpose through the transforming power of community. </p><p> </p><p>Show Summary: When was a time in your life where you felt distant from God? How did He bring you back to Him? Last week, we learned about a tragic event that happened in Melissa Harrison’s life. The tragedy caused her to doubt God’s presence as she felt like He wasn’t there for her and her mother. This week, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins are back to learn about how God pursued Melissa to bring her back into a relationship with Him. Learn about how Melissa overcame her spiritual crisis with God in this conclusion for season 14 of God Hears Her.  </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><p> “The thread of His presence [is present] even when we feel like He’s not there.” —Melissa Harrison </p><p>“The Lord sees me. He has been with me all the days of my life. He knows.” —Melissa Harrison </p><p>“We’ve got to stop pretending like we have it all together in this Christian community.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Storytelling is Melissa Harrison’s passion. She has been a TV news anchor and reporter for more than 20 years at television and radio stations around the country including at WNBC-TV in New York City, WFAA-TV, and CBS Radio in Dallas. While she is most passionate about telling other people’s stories, she never imagined that she would one day find herself on “the other side” of the headline until she received a phone call that changed her life forever. Melissa was 25 years old and hosting a dinner party when a detective called to tell her that her mom had been murdered. To make matters worse, she discovered that the crime was committed by someone she knew and loved dearly. In an instant, her world changed forever. After experiencing what it was like to have her personal life and deepest pain portrayed in the media, she is writing a book about her story in the hopes that it will encourage anyone who is experiencing pain and loss to know that they can make it through—and to serve as a reminder for journalists of the great privilege and responsibility they have when reporting on other people’s stories of tragedy and pain. She now uses her storytelling and leadership skills to connect people and resources to organizations that empower journalists and business leaders to make a positive impact on the world. One of her greatest passions is connecting and supporting women leaders by creating community and space for them to be fully seen and known. Through women’s events, executive cohorts, retreats, and conferences, she helps women leaders experience healing and renewed purpose through the transforming power of community. </p><p> </p><p>Show Summary: When was a time in your life where you felt distant from God? How did He bring you back to Him? Last week, we learned about a tragic event that happened in Melissa Harrison’s life. The tragedy caused her to doubt God’s presence as she felt like He wasn’t there for her and her mother. This week, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins are back to learn about how God pursued Melissa to bring her back into a relationship with Him. Learn about how Melissa overcame her spiritual crisis with God in this conclusion for season 14 of God Hears Her.  </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><p> “The thread of His presence [is present] even when we feel like He’s not there.” —Melissa Harrison </p><p>“The Lord sees me. He has been with me all the days of my life. He knows.” —Melissa Harrison </p><p>“We’ve got to stop pretending like we have it all together in this Christian community. We’ve got to be honest when we’re struggling and be able to do so in a safe way, but also in a way that we can really receive the help we need.” —Melissa Harrison  </p><p>“Who are you, not compared to one another?

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Lisa-Jo Baker is a bestselling author, lapsed lawyer, current acquisitions editor for HarperCollins, and the author of Never Unfriended, The Middle Matters, and Surprised by Motherhood. She is also the co-host of the Out of the Ordinary podcast. Her critically acclaimed memoir, It Wasn't Roaring, It Was Weeping, released in 2024, described by Publishers Weekly as "Poignant and searching, this leaves a mark." With a BA in English/prelaw from Gordon College and a JD from the University of Notre Dame Law School, Lisa-Jo has lived and worked on three continents in the human rights field and subsequently spent nearly a decade leading the online community of women called (in)courage as their editor in chief and community manager. Originally from South Africa, Lisa-Jo now lives just outside Washington, D.C., where she met and fell in love with her husband in the summer of ’96. Their story together spans decades, languages, countries, books, three very opinionated children, and one dog. </p><p>Show Summary: What does your relationship with your earthly father look like? For some people, they have a very close relationship with their dad, which makes it easy to celebrate Father’s Day. But others may have experienced deep pain or even abuse from their dads. This Father’s Day, Lisa-Jo Baker speaks to the people who have experienced deep hurt in their relationship with their father. She shares with hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni how her recent healing was completely guided by the Lord and led to the restoration of her relationship with the angry father from her childhood. This God Hears Her conversation walks you through Lisa-Jo’s powerful story of redemption.  </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><p>“Our parents are neither all hero nor all villain. They are human people like us—they are a mix of things.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>"The patterns we pick up from our families of origin are like a language that you are learning subconsciously all the time. We can only change the patterns once we recognize them.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“If we have unhealthy patterns in our childhood, there’s a sense of resistance: How do I make space, how do I breathe, how do I feel safe?” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“This is the thing about the Lord;, he will take you slowly step by step. He will do the work. He will initiate. He will invite. He will orchestrate. It will be in His timing.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“He is glacial in His timing, with such tenderness and such love. You don’t have to be afraid.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Lisa-Jo Baker is a bestselling author, lapsed lawyer, current acquisitions editor for HarperCollins, and the author of Never Unfriended, The Middle Matters, and Surprised by Motherhood. She is also the co-host of the Out of the Ordinary podcast. Her critically acclaimed memoir, It Wasn't Roaring, It Was Weeping, released in 2024, described by Publishers Weekly as "Poignant and searching, this leaves a mark." With a BA in English/prelaw from Gordon College and a JD from the University of Notre Dame Law School, Lisa-Jo has lived and worked on three continents in the human rights field and subsequently spent nearly a decade leading the online community of women called (in)courage as their editor in chief and community manager. Originally from South Africa, Lisa-Jo now lives just outside Washington, D.C., where she met and fell in love with her husband in the summer of ’96. Their story together spans decades, languages, countries, books, three very opinionated children, and one dog. </p><p>Show Summary: What does your relationship with your earthly father look like? For some people, they have a very close relationship with their dad, which makes it easy to celebrate Father’s Day. But others may have experienced deep pain or even abuse from their dads. This Father’s Day, Lisa-Jo Baker speaks to the people who have experienced deep hurt in their relationship with their father. She shares with hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni how her recent healing was completely guided by the Lord and led to the restoration of her relationship with the angry father from her childhood. This God Hears Her conversation walks you through Lisa-Jo’s powerful story of redemption.  </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><p>“Our parents are neither all hero nor all villain. They are human people like us—they are a mix of things.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>"The patterns we pick up from our families of origin are like a language that you are learning subconsciously all the time. We can only change the patterns once we recognize them.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“If we have unhealthy patterns in our childhood, there’s a sense of resistance: How do I make space, how do I breathe, how do I feel safe?” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“This is the thing about the Lord;, he will take you slowly step by step. He will do the work. He will initiate. He will invite. He will orchestrate. It will be in His timing.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“He is glacial in His timing, with such tenderness and such love. You don’t have to be afraid. My hope is that by looking at my closet and seeing what happened when we started to unpack it, that the Holy Spirit would say to you, ‘okay, are you ready to look at your closet?’ and you would trust Him with what comes next.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“The truth of who [God] is gets braided together with the truth of who your heavenly Father is, and the work of our adult lives is separating out what is real and what isn’t.” —Lisa Jo Baker </p><p>“There are certain key milestones that happen in a life, and the Holy Spirit is quick to come in alongside those moments.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“He loves you so much that He had me write this story because He actually wants to meet you in your story.” —Lisa-Jo Baker </p><p>“When you invite the Holy Spirit into [the memories] with you, He does begin a sacred process of bearing witness to what happened.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Jena Holliday is the author of Sacred Creativity and a full-time artist, author, entrepreneur, and storyteller. She is the creator and owner of Spoonful of Faith, an illustration and design studio. With just a bit of faith, she walked away from her mainstream marketing job to embrace her passion for art. What started as a hobby eventually evolved into a full-time commitment to spread kindness and hope through her artwork and words. That commitment blossomed into a blog and shop, aptly named Spoonful of Faith, and has thus become not only a successful business but a cultural beacon. Jena has been featured on Good Morning America, Ebony, Essence, People, Nylon, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo, Artful Living, and many more prominent outlets.  </p><p> </p><p>Show Summary: What gifts do you think God has blessed you with? Do you see creativity in your gifts? Oftentimes we neglect to notice the diverse ways that God has blessed each of us with creativity. It does not always have to be writing, drawing, painting, or doing a craft. Jena Holliday has found that being creative can grant us a different type of connection with the Lord. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn about sacred creativity with Jena during this God Hears Her conversation. </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><p>“Why are you asking everyone else where to go, who to be, and what do except the One who created you?” —Jena Holliday </p><p>“God didn’t make a mistake when He made us who we are. It wasn’t by chance; it wasn’t a coincidence. It was on purpose. That really helped me to step into the fullness of the voice that the Lord had given me.” —Jena Holliday </p><p>“What I have learned is that there is a hunger to see the different ways that the image of God is reflected on the earth. It’s cool to be in this position as an artist and illustrator because I have the unique role of creating something in a visual way that doesn’t require words. It was always important to me that I showcase different women and different images and illustrations of people because I wanted them to feel seen. I wanted people to know that they were loved, heard, and that their stories matter.” —Jena Holliday </p><p>“You should use [your gift] as a way to honor the Gift Giver, the One who has given it to you. We all have a corner of this earth where we get to use our gifts. Whatever God does to multiply it, that’s Him—that’s not on us. That’s not our responsibility.” —Jena Holliday </p><p> “If you have something that God has given you and it’s still neatly wrapped in a box, I think that’s an invitation to open it up, spend a little time with it, and see what He does with it.” —Jena Holliday </p><p>“Everyone should take the risk to use the gifts that God has given them.” —Jena Holliday </p><p>“The way that Jesus loves us is so deep is that He will come after you. He will come find you again and guide you back to where He would like you to be and you get to keep walking forward together.” —Jena Holliday   </p><p> </p><p>Related Episodes: </p><ul><li>Ep 141: Rethinking Creativity with Rachel Marie Kang: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/rethinking-creativity/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/rethinking-creativity/</a> </li><li>Ep 163: Mindful Creativity with Anh Lin: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/mindful-creativity/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/mindful-creativity/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p> Links:  </p><ul><li>Jena’s book Sacred Creativity: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Creativity-Inspiration-Reclaim-God-Given/dp/0593581474">https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Creativity-Inspiration-Reclaim-God-Given/dp/0593581474</a> </li><li>Jena Holliday’s Website: <a href="https://www.spoonfuloffaith.com/">https://www.spoonfuloffaith.com/</a> </li><li>Jena’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aspoonfuloffaith/">https://www.instagram.com/aspoonfuloffaith/</a> </li><li>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh191">https://go.odb.org/ghh191</a>  </li><li>Watch the episode on the God Hears Her YouTube channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191">https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191</a>  </li><li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a> </li><li>Shop God Hears Her books and resources: <a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191">https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191</a>  </li><li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a> </li><li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a> </li><li>Vivian’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/">https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/</a> </li><li>Our Daily Bread Ministries website: <a href="https://go.odb.org/odbm191">https://go.odb.org/odbm191</a></li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>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. </p><p> </p><p>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! </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><p>“If He is calling us into the service of hungry people then God wants us fed too.” —Whitney Lowe </p><p> </p><p>“If you are a parent, if you are a mother, that is spiritual formation.

        <![CDATA[<p>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. </p><p> </p><p>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! </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><p>“If He is calling us into the service of hungry people then God wants us fed too.” —Whitney Lowe </p><p> </p><p>“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 </p><p> </p><p> “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 </p><p> </p><p>“I am a really big believer that we as a society are overthinking what it looks like to be sacrificial and servant-hearted.

        <![CDATA[<p>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. </p><p> </p><p>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. </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><p>“We have to doubt as wisely as we have to believe.” —Dr. Carolyn Weber </p><p>“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 </p><p>“[On the image of Christians] It’s not a personality; it’s just a glow of a surrendered life.” –Vivian Mabuni </p><p>“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 </p><p>“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 </p><p>“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 </p><p> “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 </p><p> </p><p>Verses:  </p><p>Women being the first to witness the resurrection: <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2024%3A1-12&amp;version=NIV">Luke 24:1-12</a> </p><p>The woman at the well: <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%204&amp;version=NIV">John 4</a> </p><p>Eve in the garden (the lie of not being good enough): <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%203&amp;version=NIV">Genesis 3</a> </p><p> </p><p>Related Episodes: </p><ul><li>GHH Ep 26 – Big Decisions and Crossroads: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/big-decisions-and-crossroads/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/big-decisions-and-crossroads/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 66 – Dreams and Fears with Jade Gustafson: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/dreams-and-fears/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/dreams-and-fears/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 147 – Mentoring the Next Generation with Ericka Porter: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/mentoring-the-next-generation/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/mentoring-the-next-generation/</a> </li><li>GHH Ep 157 – Upheaval and Transition with Katherine Catlett: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/upheaval-and-transition/">https://godhearsher.org/podcast/upheaval-and-transition/</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p>Links:  </p><ul><li>Dr. Carolyn’s Book, Surprised By Oxford: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Surprised-Oxford-Memoir-Carolyn-Weber/dp/084992183X">https://www.amazon.com/Surprised-Oxford-Memoir-Carolyn-Weber/dp/084992183X</a> </li><li>Dr. Carolyn’s website: <a href="https://www.carolynweber.com/about/">https://www.carolynweber.com/about/</a> </li><li>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/">https://godhearsher.org/</a> </li><li>Watch the Video Podcast Here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM">https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM</a> </li><li>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a> </li><li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t </li><li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a> </li><li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a> </li><li>Vivian’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/">https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/</a> </li><li>Our Daily Bread Ministries website: <a href="https://www.odbm.org/">https://www.odbm.org/</a></li></ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Chelsea Damon is the author of I Thought This Would Make Me Happy: How to Fight Less, Forgive Faster, and Cultivate Joy in Your Marriage and Together with Christ, A Dating Couple's Devotional: 52 Devotions and Bible Studies to Nurture Your Relationship. She is also the author of <a href="http://www.chelseadamon.com/">chelseadamon.com</a>, a website where moms and wives are encouraged to cultivate healthy, Christ-centered lives and relationships. Damon and her husband Josh met while attending college, where they grew in their faith and dated for three years. They were married on the windy coast of Washington in 2013. Throughout their dating and marriage relationship and into parenthood, they've been learning what it means to live loving God and others in a self-love world. Today, the Damons have three biological children, are foster parents, and spend their time looking for new places to hike and explore beautiful South Carolina.  </p><p> </p><p>Show Summary: Did you think marriage or a specific relationship would fix all your problems and fully heal you? While marriage is a beautiful gift from God, it can also be really hard. Some seasons are filled with joy and excitement while others are filled with anger and arguments. Chelsea Damon realized she was expecting that marriage would make her happy and storing up resentment towards her husband during the first few years of their marriage. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how Chelsea overcame her resentment and began to apply grace to her marriage with the help of God.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Tara Edelschick is a teacher, a writer, mother of three, and grandmother. For three decades, she has worked as an educator, teaching public high school students in New York, graduate students at Harvard's School of Education, homeschoolers in Massachusetts, and incarcerated men taking college courses through the Emerson Prison Initiative. In her church, you can find her speaking at a women's conference or marriage retreat, teaching Sunday school, gathering mothers for prayer and Bible study, or leading retreats for families. </p><p> </p><p>Guest Bio: Kathy Tuan-MacLean is the national faculty ministry director for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, where she invites and resources faculty to follow Jesus together. Since joining InterVarsity in 1990, she has led numerous students and faculty in Bible study, spiritual formation, and leadership development. She is also a spiritual director who has led marriage ministry and women's retreats. Kathy is married to Scott, and they have three young adult children and an overanxious mini labradoodle. </p><p> </p><p>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.

And I believe that it’s a gift God wants to give us.” —Kathy Tuan-MacLean </li><li> “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 </li><li>“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.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: For 15 years, Jenny has been a formidable force in the fight against sex-trafficking. With a deep commitment to supporting victims and providing advocacy, she has dedicated her career to training and empowering survivors, advocates, and communities to combat trafficking. Overcoming her own exploitation, she launched into the antitrafficking movement with a vision to create sustainable, collaborative, and holistic approaches to abolish modern-day slavery. She has successfully established herself as an expert in counter-trafficking efforts and survivor empowerment and continues to contribute to the advancement of the global anti-trafficking movement. </p><p> </p><p>Show Summary: Have you ever thought about where you’re buying things from? Human trafficking is one of the most evil and secretive business models in the world. Unknowingly, you could be buying items made by people trapped in modern- day slavery. Jenny Barber is passionate about raising awareness of human exploitation because she was a victim of it for most of her childhood. Her and her husband, Robert, started Talitha Coffee Roasters to give human trafficking survivors a path for healing and restoration. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn more about Jenny’s story and the founding of her business during this God Hears Her conversation.  </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><ul><li>“The inspiration for the name [Talitha Coffee Roasters] is because we want to see people coming from the darkest places and situations, rising from a place of desperation and hopelessness into abundance and life.” —Jenny Barber  </li><li>“Before I had heard anybody talk about God, I had an awareness that there was a God. Because in those moments where it was desperate and hopeless, I would feel the presence of God and know that I was not alone.” —Jenny Barber </li><li> “I only am where I am today because there were people who were willing to find me in my most desperate of situations and reach out and tell me that I had value on my life.” —Jenny Barber </li><li>“Because I came from such brokenness, I knew I needed help. I knew I needed a lifeline . . . even when I look back and see the darkest of situations, I see God’s hand on my life.” —Jenny Barber </li><li>“There is this relentless pursuit throughout [Scripture] with God pursuing His people. It was the same thing on my life—God was relentlessly pursuing me and reaching out to me.” —Jenny Barber  </li></ul><p> </p><p>Verses:  </p><ul><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2018%3A25&amp;version=NIV">Luke 18:25</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p>Links:  </p><ul><li>Talitha Coffee Website: <a href="https://talitha.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqjVOH9xXwHD1PLLiOyCbZZnwOIs5piJxXREwVRSGw3PvCnIU5j">https://talitha.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqjVOH9xXwHD1PLLiOyCbZZnwOIs5piJxXREwVRSGw3PvCnIU5j</a> </li><li>Talitha Coffee Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/talithacoffeeroasters/">https://www.instagram.com/talithacoffeeroasters/</a> </li><li>Human Trafficking Hotline: 888-373-7888 </li><li>Human Trafficking Awareness Website: <a href="https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en">https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en</a> </li><li>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/">https://godhearsher.org/</a> </li><li>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a> </li><li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t </li><li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a> </li><li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a> </li><li>Vivian’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/">https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/</a> </li><li>Our Daily Bread Ministries website: <a href="https://www.odbm.org/">https://www.odbm.org/</a> </li></ul><p> </p>]]>

Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn more about Jenny’s story and the founding of her business during this God Hears Her conversation.  </p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes:  </p><ul><li>“The inspiration for the name [Talitha Coffee Roasters] is because we want to see people coming from the darkest places and situations, rising from a place of desperation and hopelessness into abundance and life.” —Jenny Barber  </li><li>“Before I had heard anybody talk about God, I had an awareness that there was a God. Because in those moments where it was desperate and hopeless, I would feel the presence of God and know that I was not alone.” —Jenny Barber </li><li> “I only am where I am today because there were people who were willing to find me in my most desperate of situations and reach out and tell me that I had value on my life.” —Jenny Barber </li><li>“Because I came from such brokenness, I knew I needed help. I knew I needed a lifeline . . . even when I look back and see the darkest of situations, I see God’s hand on my life.” —Jenny Barber </li><li>“There is this relentless pursuit throughout [Scripture] with God pursuing His people. It was the same thing on my life—God was relentlessly pursuing me and reaching out to me.” —Jenny Barber  </li></ul><p> </p><p>Verses:  </p><ul><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2018%3A25&amp;version=NIV">Luke 18:25</a> </li></ul><p> </p><p>Links:  </p><ul><li>Talitha Coffee Website: <a href="https://talitha.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqjVOH9xXwHD1PLLiOyCbZZnwOIs5piJxXREwVRSGw3PvCnIU5j">https://talitha.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqjVOH9xXwHD1PLLiOyCbZZnwOIs5piJxXREwVRSGw3PvCnIU5j</a> </li><li>Talitha Coffee Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/talithacoffeeroasters/">https://www.instagram.com/talithacoffeeroasters/</a> </li><li>Human Trafficking Hotline: 888-373-7888 </li><li>Human Trafficking Awareness Website: <a href="https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en">https://humantraffickinghotline.org/en</a> </li><li>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/">https://godhearsher.org/</a> </li><li>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a> </li><li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t </li><li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a> </li><li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a> </li><li>Vivian’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/">https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/</a> </li><li>Our Daily Bread Ministries website: <a href="https://www.odbm.org/">https://www.odbm.org/</a> </li></ul><p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>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. </p><p> </p><p>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.

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   </li><li> “[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   </li><li>“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   </li><li>“As we know who Jesus is, we can then remember His character.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: After a harrowing riches-to-rags detour in life, Jennifer DiVita clung to her faith and rebuilt herself as a solo mom and professional career woman. Because of God’s goodness, she found her way out of poverty and climbed the career ladder carrying her kids on her back to become Associate State Director of AARP. She’s also an on-air personality with WOOD TV and ABC 4 who provides positive advice on aging well, despite initially being kicked out of TV for being “too seasoned.” She published her novel, Not Your Shoe Size, a witty story about growing older and finding the silver lining after becoming silver.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Cathy Sall works at Our Daily Bread Ministries as a Project Manager. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her daughter Caili, either here in Michigan or out in Utah, mentoring a child through KIDS HOPE USA, attending Bible Study Fellowship, or reading. Cathy and Caili are planning a trip back to China in the near future, and her lifelong dream is to get to the Holy Land someday. </p><p> </p><p>Guest Bio: Caili Sall is studying social work at Southern Utah University. Caili has an adventurous spirit. She took a gap year between high school and college and spent 3 months in South Africa and 3 months in the Holy Land.

She also loves running, snowboarding, and hiking with her friends. </p><p> </p><p>Show Summary: When we reflect on our stories, we are often left with memories that carry both joy and grief. Perhaps you got a job promotion while mourning the loss of a loved one, or you got bad news while celebrating a big event. We often have seasons of celebration that mix with times of mourning. Cathy and Caili Sall are a mother-daughter duo who have learned how to hold all of the feelings that come with adoption. Cathy was a single woman when she felt God call her to adopt Caili, an orphan in China.

He will guide you through it, and He will walk each step with you.” —Cathy Sall </li><li>“God gives us grace; He extends it to us so we can show ourselves grace [in our stories].” —Caili Sall </li><li>“There’s a lot of sorrow and grief in my adoption story. But I don’t necessarily realize those bad things. To me, when I gain those strengths and things as a part of my story, I feel like I’m closer to the heart of Jesus.” —Caili Sall </li></ul><p> </p><p>Verses: </p><ul><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%201%3A18&amp;version=NIV"> Ecclesiastes 1:18</a></li></ul><p> </p><p>Links: </p><ul><li>Caili’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cailisall/">https://www.instagram.com/cailisall/</a></li><li>Cathy’s Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cathy.sall">https://www.facebook.com/cathy.sall</a></li><li>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/">https://godhearsher.org/</a></li><li>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></li><li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</li><li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></li><li>Vivian’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/">https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/</a></li><li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></li><li>Our Daily Bread Ministries website: <a href="https://www.odbm.org/">https://www.odbm.org/</a></li></ul><p> </p><p>MB01QE3FJAXIQZW</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Show Summary: Do you ever take time to sit in silence? Do you feel like your schedule is too packed full to have time for yourself? When God created the world, He took time to rest, but we often find ourselves running from one thing to the next without a moment to spare. Vivian Mabuni recently took a Sabbatical. During that time, she discovered how her soul was able to internally settle while she spent quiet time with God. Join hosts Vivian Mabuni and Eryn Eddy Adkins for this God Hears Her conversation as they talk through how we can find times in our lives to rest and reflect.</p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes: </p><ul><li>“God keeps inviting us into this place of, ‘Will you trust me?’ He will lead, and as a sheep, I will follow. And when He says go, I need to go. And when He says stay, I need to stay, and to not run ahead of Him.” —Vivian Mabuni</li><li>“Am I prepared to see [God] turn beauty out of pain, and this be a longer road? Or will this be a shorter road where He does a miracle? In that waiting time is a real-time of needing to lay down our will, and trust Him with the outcome.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni</li><li>“We can’t determine God based on our circumstances.

        <![CDATA[<p>Show Summary: Do you ever take time to sit in silence? Do you feel like your schedule is too packed full to have time for yourself? When God created the world, He took time to rest, but we often find ourselves running from one thing to the next without a moment to spare. Vivian Mabuni recently took a Sabbatical. During that time, she discovered how her soul was able to internally settle while she spent quiet time with God. Join hosts Vivian Mabuni and Eryn Eddy Adkins for this God Hears Her conversation as they talk through how we can find times in our lives to rest and reflect.</p><p> </p><p>Notes and Quotes: </p><ul><li>“God keeps inviting us into this place of, ‘Will you trust me?’ He will lead, and as a sheep, I will follow. And when He says go, I need to go. And when He says stay, I need to stay, and to not run ahead of Him.” —Vivian Mabuni</li><li>“Am I prepared to see [God] turn beauty out of pain, and this be a longer road? Or will this be a shorter road where He does a miracle? In that waiting time is a real-time of needing to lay down our will, and trust Him with the outcome.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni</li><li>“We can’t determine God based on our circumstances. We need to determine who God is based on His Word. . . God has revealed Himself, and we need to evaluate our circumstances in light of who He is.” —Vivian Mabuni  </li></ul><p> </p><p>Verses: </p><ul><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2023&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 23</a></li><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2017%3A7-8&amp;version=NIV"> Jeremiah 17:7-8</a></li><li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%204%3A1-9&amp;version=NIV"> Joshua 4:1-9</a></li></ul><p> </p><p>Links: </p><ul><li>Discover the Word: Taking Time to Rest, Reflect, and Renew: <a href="https://discovertheword.org/series/taking-time-to-rest-reflect-and-renew/"> https://discovertheword.org/series/taking-time-to-rest-reflect-and-renew/</a></li><li>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/">https://godhearsher.org/</a></li><li>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></li><li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</li><li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></li><li>Vivian’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/">https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/</a></li><li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></li><li>Our Daily Bread Ministries website: <a href="https://www.odbm.org/">https://www.odbm.org/</a></li></ul><p> </p><p> </p><p>MB01DVFLIRV7JSF</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Brittany Hurd is a former theatrical professional who, in late 2020, went a few rounds with a brain tumor and lost her eyesight. A trained singer, she has redirected her gifts toward chanting the Psalms in a musical theater style on the YouTube channel Canticlear. But her primary job is making her new husband a better Thomist, as they both re-learn what it means to build a virtuous and flourishing home in light of and in response to her blindness.</p><p> </p><p>Show Summary: When we’re growing up, we probably have an idea of what we want our lives to look like. We may plan along the way and eventually find ourselves exactly where we wanted to be. However, sometimes our plans look nothing like what God has for us. Unexpectedly, we get a scary medical diagnosis, or something significant happens that alters the course of our lives. Brittany Hurd was diagnosed with a brain tumor that ended up taking her eyesight. This has completely changed her life, and now she’s navigating the change as a newlywed.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Lisa Victoria Fields, author of When Faith Disappoints: The Gap Between What We Believe and What We Experience, is a renowned Christian apologist who merges her deep biblical knowledge with a heartfelt mission to share God’s love.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez (MSW, MSEd) is a truth-teller and space builder committed to helping the Body of Christ be healthy and holy. She is the founder of Full Collective, creator of the annual Sowers Summit, and host of the Being a Sanctuary podcast. She has spoken at conferences such as Proverbs 31 and Verity Conference and has written for Chasing Justice and She Reads Truth. She recently published a book with Brazos Press (An Imprint of Baker Publishing Group) titled Being a Sanctuary: The Radical Way for the Body of Christ to be Sacred, Soft, and Safe. Pricelis is currently pursuing a master of arts in biblical and theological studies from Denver Seminary and is a proud Black Latina born and raised in New York City, where she currently resides with her husband and son. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Do you ever feel like you’re running on empty? Maybe your schedule is filled and you feel like you have no time to do the things you want to do or spend time with people you miss. Sometimes we feel empty because we’re lacking a community that can help fulfill our needs or lend a hand. Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez realized that women were running themselves dry while simultaneously missing out on a devoted community to spend time with. She founded The Full Collective with the hope of bringing women together to experience the fullness that God wants us to have through Him in our lives.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez (MSW, MSEd) is a truth-teller and space builder committed to helping the Body of Christ be healthy and holy. She is the founder of Full Collective, creator of the annual Sowers Summit, and host of the Being a Sanctuary podcast. She has spoken at conferences such as Proverbs 31 and Verity Conference and has written for Chasing Justice and She Reads Truth. She recently published a book with Brazos Press (An Imprint of Baker Publishing Group) titled Being a Sanctuary: The Radical Way for the Body of Christ to be Sacred, Soft, and Safe. Pricelis is currently pursuing a master of arts in biblical and theological studies from Denver Seminary and is a proud Black Latina born and raised in New York City, where she currently resides with her husband and son. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Do you ever feel like you’re running on empty? Maybe your schedule is filled and you feel like you have no time to do the things you want to do or spend time with people you miss. Sometimes we feel empty because we’re lacking a community that can help fulfill our needs or lend a hand. Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez realized that women were running themselves dry while simultaneously missing out on a devoted community to spend time with. She founded The Full Collective with the hope of bringing women together to experience the fullness that God wants us to have through Him in our lives. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they learn more about The Full Collective and how we can find fullness through Christ and community during this episode of God Hears Her.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“No matter what the battle that has come forth is, no matter what has tried to be stolen, destroyed, or killed in their life, that does not change the fullness that God has for us.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez </p> </li> <li> <p>“I was very much in search of God, but I was looking for Him in a lot of things, a lot of different people, and a lot of different places. . . .

Through the <a href="https://www.flyingfreesisterhood.com/sign-up">Flying Free Sisterhood program</a>, Natalie empowers Christian women to discover and use their God-given voices, gifts, and freedom to make healthy choices for their spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Sometimes an unhealthy relationship may be hard to recognize while we’re in the beginning stages or rationalizing things that hurt us.

After trying everything she could to work on her marriage, she decided to get a divorce. Now Natalie teaches women the covert signs of emotional and spiritual abuse.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Orsika’s childhood was magical. As an adult, her choices were less than amazing. She moved from one failed relationship to another, had three children, and lost direction in life. She felt as though she let everyone down. Having experienced domestic violence, Orsika knew something had to change. She hit rock bottom and clearly understood the years of abuse were going to drastically transform her life for the better. Her healing journey began well after escaping the abuse. Orsika lived through the pain, the shame, and the guilt of making decisions that brought sorrow and potential unforgiveness. She understands, firsthand, the feelings of loneliness and desperation.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Tara Sun is the author of Surrender Your Story and host of the popular podcast Truth Talks with Tara. She is passionate about helping women simplify and know what it means to live out the gospel and know, love, and live God’s Word through online resources. Tara lives in Oregon with her husband, Michael, and their son, Hunter. When she isn’t writing or podcasting, Tara loves to cook, bake sourdough, go on walks through their small town, and chat about Jesus and life with anyone and everyone.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: When you think of surrender, do you think of weakness? Do you think of giving up? Or do you think of laying your life down for good? When we think about surrendering our lives to God, we don’t realize the outcome of surrendering all things to Him. We may have a harder time with control than we think. Our God Hears Her podcast guest today is Tara Sun, a woman who had to learn how to surrender her story to the Lord. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how to surrender control with Tara Sun during this conversation on God Hears Her. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“We live in a kingdom where Jesus said a lot of upside-down things that actually make a lot of sense when we live by His Word and listen to His Word.” —Tara Sun</p> </li> <li> <p>“When you lay your life down, you get to pick up something greater.” —Tara Sun</p> </li> <li> <p>“God doesn’t waste anything. It’s for a reason, even if I didn’t plan it. And it’s all leading up to creating a stronger, more sanctified you. A you that knows who God is more.” —Tara Sun</p> </li> <li> <p>“It doesn’t matter the greatest plans that I can come up with, it can never touch the goodness and greatness of God’s purposes for my life. He wants our obedience and our “yes” coupled with His divine purposes because ultimately He is in control.” —Tara Sun</p> </li> <li> <p>“The narrative of surrender is actually at the heart of what it means to be a disciple.” —Tara Sun</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%205%3A3-5&amp;version=NIV"> Romans 5:3-5</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2032%3A22-30&amp;version=NIV"> Genesis 32:22-30</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%209%3A23&amp;version=NIV"> Luke 9:23</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014%3A26&amp;version=NIV"> John 14:26</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%201%3A6&amp;version=NIV"> Philippians 1:6</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>Tara’s website: <a href="https://www.tarasunministries.com/">https://www.tarasunministries.com/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Tara’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/misstarasun">https://www.instagram.com/misstarasun</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01TIYFMDGJI53</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Jami Nato is a blogger, Instagram influencer, and serial entrepreneur. She mentors thousands of leaders by running an essential oils business and a local coffee shop. She has four non-Catholic kids who attend Catholic school, one irritatingly athletic husband, two unkempt dogs, and a pet turtle she is constantly trying to bring back to the pond. She juggles this circus in the best-kept secret of the Midwest where people genuinely do care about your aunt’s hip surgery: Kansas City, Missouri. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you ever felt closer to God after a season of suffering? When Jami Nato found out her husband was having an affair, it felt like her world imploded. Through the trials and tribulations of that season, she found that her relationship with God was growing stronger. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how Jami walked through that season of her life with God by her side during this God Hears Her conversation. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“What God did in my heart was supernatural. I felt God’s nearness so close, which I think that only suffering can do for you.” —Jami Nato</p> </li> <li> <p>“Forgiveness isn’t a one-time thing. [The situation] would chase you, it would taunt you, and you had to turn around and say, ‘No more. I’ve already forgiven you.’” —Jami Nato</p> </li> <li> <p>“If God carried me this far, and showed me what He needed to show me in the perfect timing, He would do it again.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Jami Nato is a blogger, Instagram influencer, and serial entrepreneur. She mentors thousands of leaders by running an essential oils business and a local coffee shop. She has four non-Catholic kids who attend Catholic school, one irritatingly athletic husband, two unkempt dogs, and a pet turtle she is constantly trying to bring back to the pond. She juggles this circus in the best-kept secret of the Midwest where people genuinely do care about your aunt’s hip surgery: Kansas City, Missouri. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you ever felt closer to God after a season of suffering? When Jami Nato found out her husband was having an affair, it felt like her world imploded. Through the trials and tribulations of that season, she found that her relationship with God was growing stronger. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how Jami walked through that season of her life with God by her side during this God Hears Her conversation. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“What God did in my heart was supernatural. I felt God’s nearness so close, which I think that only suffering can do for you.” —Jami Nato</p> </li> <li> <p>“Forgiveness isn’t a one-time thing. [The situation] would chase you, it would taunt you, and you had to turn around and say, ‘No more. I’ve already forgiven you.’” —Jami Nato</p> </li> <li> <p>“If God carried me this far, and showed me what He needed to show me in the perfect timing, He would do it again. He would take care of me.” —Jami Nato</p> </li> <li> <p>“When the gospel gets so deep into your roots, that is the fruit that you produce.” —Jami Nato</p> </li> <li> <p>“Not until I experienced suffering did the gospel become real to me. My need for salvation. My need for the cross. My need for His presence.” —Jami Nato</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18%3A21-35&amp;version=NIV"> Matthew 18:21-35</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</p> </li> <li> <p>Jami’s Book: <a href="http://www.jaminato.com/">jaminato.com</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Jami’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jaminato/">https://www.instagram.com/jaminato/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01NZNNYQ1MIYV</p> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Heather Creekmore writes and speaks hope to thousands of women each week, inspiring them to stop comparing and start living. She’s the host of the Compared to Who? podcast and the author of four books, including The 40-Day Body Image Workbook: Hope for Christian Women Who’ve Tried Everything and Aging Gratefully, a new devotional on aging for women in midlife. Heather has been featured on Fox News, Huff Post, Morning Dose, Church Leaders, For Every Mom, and dozens of other shows and podcasts. But she’s best recognized from her appearance as a contestant on the Netflix hit show, Nailed It. Heather and her fighter-pilot-turned-pastor husband, Eric have four children and live in Austin, Texas.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: No matter what we do or how we try to prevent it, we are all aging. With age comes wisdom, but also body changes that make us feel like we’re losing everything we once had. Heather Creekmore wants us to remember that God’s Word does not speak badly about growing older. Join hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Elisa Morgan as they talk about aging gratefully with Heather Creekmore on this episode of God Hears Her. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“Am I defining beauty the way the world does, or the way that [God’s] Word does? Who’s definition am I going to believe?” —Heather Creekmore</p> </li> <li> <p>“While culture might tell us we’re aging out of relevance, we’re really just coming into our own.” —Heather Creekmore</p> </li> <li> <p>“There’s so much possibility when partnering with God and saying, ‘What’s next?’” —Heather Creekmore</p> </li> <li> <p>“To reframe, to really change our thoughts, is not just about taking the thoughts captive. But it’s seeing ourselves being in the image of God’s Kingdom instead of this earthly kingdom.” —Heather Creekmore</p> </li> <li> <p>“When God doesn’t come through the way we thought He should come through, that is when we have the sweet opportunity to really get to know the real God instead of the God who is a figment of our imagination, and when we really have to lean on trusting Him.” —Heather Creekmore</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jonah%202%3A8&amp;version=NIV"> Jonah 2:8</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+139&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 139:14</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12%3A1-2&amp;version=NIV"> Romans 12:1-2</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>Heather’s <a href="https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/aging-gratefully.html">book</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Heather’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/comparedtowho/">Instagram</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB014C6WNY8HL7R</p> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Deb Hopper spent the first 25 years of her professional career serving in the church and working in the corporate world. After 10 years as the women’s pastor at Seacoast Church, she now pursues family ministry and is founder/CEO of a non-profit organization serving single moms called SEEN Moms. Married for 30 years to Gibson Hopper, she has three daughters, two sons-in-love, and eleven grandchildren.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: When was the last time you reached a moment where the only thing you could do was surrender your circumstance to the Lord? Deb Hopper was a single mom with two daughters when a good friend of hers sat her down and told her about a method of praying that would help her surrender her stresses to God.

But in reality, He does move. He does answer prayers. And if we don’t talk about them in our natural, everyday life, then why would people pray?” —Deb Hopper</p> </li> <li> <p>“But once I took that first step, God provided the obvious answer for me.” —Deb Hopper</p> </li> <li> <p>“We need God’s light to shine on our answers. We need to go to His Word. We need to ask, ‘Does this line up with what God says? Is this true?’ ” —Deb Hopper</p> </li> <li> <p>“[God] has the plan. And if you’re faithful to do the next right thing, He doesn’t waste a minute of it.” —Deb Hopper</p> </li> <li> <p>“Acknowledging God in the promotion, in a child being born, in the marriage, we are acknowledging that we didn’t do it on our own. It was God with us, guiding us, and showing us.” —Deb Hopper</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A7&amp;version=NIV"> Matthew 7:7</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Samuel+7%3A3-12&amp;version=NIV"> 1 Samuel 7:3-12</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>SEEN moms: <a href="https://www.seenmoms.org/">https://www.seenmoms.org/</a> </p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Vivian’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/">https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01OSSZO8UPX9T</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Emily E. Ryan is a minister’s wife, mother of four, and junior high English teacher who first dedicated her writing life to the Lord when she was a child. She quickly learned, however, that writing about Jesus could only come after walking with Him through hard times. In this season of life—full of teens, tweens, and all the beautiful noise and chaos that comes with them—she is familiar with the struggle to find those rare, quiet moments and claim them for Jesus. She writes about this struggle in her upcoming book Guilt-Free Quiet Times, where she encourages women with practical creativity to ditch guilt and embrace grace in their devotional time with the Lord. Emily and her family live in the great state of Texas, but you can find her online at emilyeryan.com or through her Guideposts devotions in ’ Mornings with Jesus.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: What comes to mind when you think of spending time with the Lord? Do you picture your favorite comfy chair with your Bible and a steaming mug of coffee? Or do you see yourself frantically running around the house apologizing to God while you chase a toddler who has interrupted your quiet time. . . .again. Emily E. Ryan wants to help women reimagine their quiet time with the Lord by lifting up the guilt we sometimes feel. The stigma of ‘quiet time’ doesn’t have to be silent time spent in your house with the Lord. Join hosts, Vivian Mabuni and Eryn Eddy Adkins, as they learn how to have guilt-free quiet time during this God Hears Her conversation.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“God shows Himself to us whenever we ask for our spiritual eyes to be opened.” —Emily E. Ryan</p> </li> <li> <p>“God promised something good from this, so I’m going to start looking for that.” —Emily E. Ryan</p> </li> <li> <p>“God is not calling us into this perfect, little checklist quiet time, He’s calling us into a deeper, intimate relationship with Him.” —Emily E. Ryan</p> </li> <li> <p>The Lord has given us so much more choice into how we approach our spiritual disciples than we realize.” —Emily E. Ryan</p> </li> <li> <p>“Whenever we have conviction, it always leads to a solution. If the Holy Spirit convicts your heart, then He’s doing so to lead you closer.” —Emily E. Ryan</p> </li> <li> <p>“The highs and lows are going to happen regardless. It’s where they are leading you in the end. Are they leading you to the Lord, and is your faith growing?” —Emily E.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Anh Lin is an interior stylist and the founder of the cozy online shop, TheHoogaShop.com. She is a debut author with her new book, Forever Home, and she is now living with her husband and corgi in a renovated fixer-upper.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you ever looked at a space and felt excited by all of the work that needs to be done on it? Maybe you renovated your home, decorated an apartment, or even organized your car trunk in a cute way for all of the running around you do. What if we looked at our hearts as rooms with potential?

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Rochelle Traub loves interacting with people whether it’s connecting with friends over a relaxing dinner, creating memories with family in the funny moments of life, or communicating through words and voice in her marketing job at Our Daily Bread Ministries. She’s been married to her best friend, Kevin, for 31 years and together they have three children, including their youngest daughter who was adopted from China. Rochelle looks forward to her morning “walk and talk” sessions with her exercise buddy, skiing in Colorado with family, reading a good book while sipping steaming hot coffee, and traveling pretty much anywhere. She is thankful for God’s grace and goodness in her life, and her life goal is to share the gift of Jesus. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: When was a moment you felt God was calling you to something?

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Rochelle Traub loves interacting with people whether it’s connecting with friends over a relaxing dinner, creating memories with family in the funny moments of life, or communicating through words and voice in her marketing job at Our Daily Bread Ministries. She’s been married to her best friend, Kevin, for 31 years and together they have three children, including their youngest daughter who was adopted from China. Rochelle looks forward to her morning “walk and talk” sessions with her exercise buddy, skiing in Colorado with family, reading a good book while sipping steaming hot coffee, and traveling pretty much anywhere. She is thankful for God’s grace and goodness in her life, and her life goal is to share the gift of Jesus. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: When was a moment you felt God was calling you to something?

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Matt Adkins, with over 25 years of music experience, is a seasoned musician, worship pastor, and service programming director at Gwinnett Church. From picking up his first guitar at 8 and growing up surrounded by the sounds of bluegrass, Matt’s journey in music has been nothing short of remarkable. Transitioning from a touring musician at 17 to a worship pastor at 30, he has dedicated his life to shaping the purpose of musicians within the local church. Matt’s passion is to create transformative worship experiences and empower others to express their faith through music. Matt lives in Atlanta, Georgia with his wife Eryn and their three daughters.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Father’s Day is coming up and that can bring out a variety of feelings in us. Some of us come from broken families with absent fathers or divorced families where we’ve seen a parent only part time. Today’s guest is learning how to parent three daughters in the aftermath of divorce and remarriage. Despite that, Matt Adkins does everything he can to be an intentional father. Join Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins as they talk with Matt about his different seasons of fatherhood and parenting teenage daughters during this God Hears Her conversation. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“When it’s from the Holy Spirit, it just flows. You don’t have to force it.” —Matt Adkins</p> </li> <li> <p>“If you’re not intentional with the time you have, the time goes fast.” —Eryn Adkins </p> </li> <li> <p>“They [little girls] don’t want to be fixed, they want to be heard.” —Matt Adkins</p> </li> <li> <p>“The relationship between me and my heavenly Father, and my relationship with my 3 girls as a father, the thing that I desire most with my girls, is the thing that my Father desires with me—time.” —Matt Adkins</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>Father’s Day Video: <a href="https://youtu.be/21N5O1N5OKg?si=X-l0AgBzkpbOz5tO">https://youtu.be/21N5O1N5OKg?si=X-l0AgBzkpbOz5tO</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a> </p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB010R7LWKNSLZF</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Alice Matagora lives in Southern California with her husband RJ, her children Regi and Clementine, and her dog Daisy. With two young children in this season of life, Alice is a naptime writer and storyteller. She invites others to find the beauty in the broken and hope in God as she shares her story of God's redemption in the midst of the brokenness in her own life—infertility, grief and loss, mental health struggles, childhood trauma, generational trauma, racial and ethnic identity, and marriage. Alice has worked with The Navigators in disciple making ministry for nearly twenty years, with experience in college ministry and cultural competency training. She currently leads a Leader Development Initiative for The Navigators that develops leaders all over the world. She’s also a licensed marriage and family therapist. Combining all of her professional experience and her passion for disciple making, Alice's book How to Save the World: Disciple Making Made Simple, featuring original Barna research, seeks to equip and empower everyday people to make disciples of Jesus wherever they live, work, and play.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: What’s been your longest trial? Are you in a waiting season? Or are you going through something that feels like it has no end in sight? Alice Matagora has been through multiple trials, including a seven-year infertility journey. During those seven years, God was working to heal her past wounds and change her mindset on motherhood. Join host Eryn Adkins as she gets to know Alice Matagora during this God Hears Her conversation. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“I learned how to have roots—how to have a relationship with Jesus.” —Alice Matagora</p> </li> <li> <p>“God is so kind and a master author in writing our stories of pain to lead us to the right place at the right time.” —Alice Matagora</p> </li> <li> <p>“God used infertility to address these lies I had about motherhood.” —Alice Matagora</p> </li> <li> <p>“The enemy wants to use our past to impact the way we see ourselves in the future.” —Eryn Adkins</p> </li> <li> <p>“You will never fail if you put your hope in the Lord.” —Alice Matagora</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li> <p>My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. —Psalm 73:26</p> </li> <li> <p>“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.” —Mark 11:22-23</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>MOMCON: <a href="https://www.momcon.co/">https://www.momcon.co/</a> </p> </li> <li> <p>The Navigators: <a href="https://www.navigators.org/">https://www.navigators.org/</a> </p> </li> <li> <p>The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Imperfection-Anniversary-Features-brand-new/dp/1616499605"> https://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Imperfection-Anniversary-Features-brand-new/dp/1616499605</a> </p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Alice’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alicematagora/">https://www.instagram.com/alicematagora/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>MB01TWRF14TPPBI</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Lauren’s interest in relationship skills began when her parents divorced after almost 20 years of marriage. Seeking to understand better patterns for her own future legacy, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in communication studies from TCU. Lauren is the author of two books: In Their Shoes, a book dedicated to helping parents better understand and connect with children of divorce, and Relationship Essentials, which features skills to help people feel heard, fight fair, and set boundaries in all areas of life. Lauren is the president of The Center for Relationship Education, a national nonprofit whose mission is rooted in providing relationship skills training to everyone. Her speaking experience spans over 20 years, teaching a variety of relationship skills to teens, adults, and corporate teams. She recognizes relationships are key to a successful life, and this drives her passion for energizing others to invest in relationships with proven tools to enhance connection. She and her husband, Josh, love adventures with their three children. All Colorado natives, they are avid skiers, outdoor enthusiasts, and Broncos’ fans. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you ever tried really hard to make something happen just for it to fail over and over again? Have you been rejected by something or someone that meant a lot to you? Today’s guest, Lauren Reitsema, knows all about how God can change the trajectory of our lives to make something beautiful come out of the brokenness.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Ericka Porter is a proud native of the Denver Metro Area. From early in life, she has eagerly worked to develop and inspire future generations. After graduating from Southeastern University, where she studied Youth Ministries, she has come alongside urban and under-served students in various roles for the last twenty years. Ericka currently serves as a youth leader with some of her favorite high school girls at Colorado Community Church. </p> <p> </p> <p>In 2022, Ericka took a significant leap to use her professional experience and passion to start Rise Up Training &amp; Consulting, a company focused on supporting youth-serving organizations through effective collaboration, professional development, and program design.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Retired pastoral associate and former adjunct faculty at Seattle University, Kathleen MacInnis Kichline continues to offer retreats and online presentations and has recently authored her latest book, “Why These Women?: Four Stories You Need to Read Before You Read the Story of Jesus.”  </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: When we think of Christmas we don’t often focus on the genealogy of Jesus. As we celebrate the incredible birth story of our Savior, what if we also took a look at the people of faith who came before?

As we celebrate the incredible birth story of our Savior, what if we also took a look at the people of faith who came before? During this conversation on God Hears Her, join Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins as they talk with Kathlenn Macinnic Kichline about four incredible women of faith in the genealogy of Jesus.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Amy Nordhues is a survivor of both childhood sexual abuse and sexual abuse as an adult at the hands of a mental health professional. She is a passionate believer in Jesus and expert on the healing God provides. She has a BA in psychology with minors in sociology and criminology. In 2021, Amy published her story of abuse as an adult in the award-winning memoir Prayed Upon: Breaking Free from Therapist Abuse. Now a full-time advocate for victims of therapist/clergy abuse, she has a well-loved blog, speaks at conferences, and has more than 35 radio and podcast interviews on the subject. A married mother of three, she enjoys spending time with family, writing, reading, photography, and all things comedy.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: We want to warn you that this episode includes the topics of suicide, sexual assault, and abuse. As an adult, we often think we’re incapable of falling into abusive situations or sexual grooming. However, roughly 50,000 people are working toward healing after finding themselves a victim to abusers within the church, doctor offices, therapy offices, jobs, and other places or situations where we often think we’re safe.  Amy Nordhues is a survivor and an advocate for other survivors who have been through clergy and therapist abuse. Join Amy as she tells her story to hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins during this conversation on God Hears Her.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“I refer to these traumas like an earthquake; there’s the initial quake and there are these smaller, mini quakes that happen for years.” –Amy Nordhues</p> </li> <li> <p>“An ethical therapist will never burden the clients. They will be a blank slate for you when you walk in, and then you leave [your appointment] knowing that they can take care of themselves.” –Amy Nordhues</p> </li> <li> <p>“Suddenly I found myself thinking, ‘God doesn’t make abusers’, and, ‘God doesn’t make evil’ . . . so what if God restored my abuser to the person that He made, would I be okay with that person going to heaven?” –Amy Nordhues</p> </li> <li> <p>“Forgiveness is not that you like your abuser now or that you’re okay with what happened, but I feel like it’s telling God that this burden is too heavy for me and I need you to take it.” –Amy Nordhues</p> </li> <li> <p>I had spent most of my life in darkness, bitterness, and anger. . . . I wasn’t going back there. And I like to tell victims, “Don’t let your abusers take that [hope] away from you; don’t let them take away your faith. Don’t let them put you back into that cage of anger and bitterness.” –Amy Nordhues</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+14%3A14&amp;version=NIV"> Exodus 14:14 NIV</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+32%3A35&amp;version=NIV"> Deuteronomy 32:35 NIV</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+37%3A6&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 37:6 NIV</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>Amy’s website: <a href="http://www.amynordhues.com/">www.amynordhues.com</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Amy’s book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Prayed-Upon-Breaking-Therapist-Abuse/dp/1737594803/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr="> https://www.amazon.com/Prayed-Upon-Breaking-Therapist-Abuse</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcas</a>t</p> </li> <li>Amy’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amynordhuesauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/amynordhuesauthor/</a></li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01XH4FERIDRGN</p>]]>

Author and poet, Rachel Marie Kang, is excited to share a new outlook on the way we think about art. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins as they explore this new way of thinking on God Hears Her.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“There’s something really beautiful about creating in the private.” –Eryn Adkins </p> </li> <li> <p>“It’s scary to be alone with your thoughts.” –Eryn Adkins </p> </li> <li> <p>“That’s how you grow, you start small.” –Rachel Marie Kang </p> </li> <li> <p>“He is creating light as boundary, so that light has a purpose.” –Rachel Marie Kang</p> </li> <li> <p>“I am pushing back the darkness in my own life.” –Rachel Marie Kang</p> </li> <li> <p>“He is always creating.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Chriscynethia Floyd is vice president and publisher of Our Daily Bread Publishing. Her more than twenty-year career spans both secular and Christian publishing, where she has served as a vice president in sales, marketing, and editorial for organizations such as Simon and Schuster Publishing, HarperCollins Christian Publishers, and David C. Cook.  She leads and collaborates with a talented group of editors and publishing professionals. Together they work to fulfill the mission of Our Daily Bread Ministries—to make the Bible's life-changing wisdom understandable and accessible to all. Chriscynethia is a classically trained singer and has traveled the world performing for such dignitaries as Desmond Tutu and President George Bush. When not with her ODBP team, Chriscynethia loves attending arts performances and being outdoors. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: The book of Ecclesiastes tells us that there is a time for mourning and a time for joy. What do we do when we’re in mourning? How do we handle the feelings of despair? Today’s guest, Chriscynethia Floyd, will share with hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins, how she overcame her pits of despair with the help of her loving friends and the guidance of God. You don’t want to miss her story during this conversation on God Hears Her.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“..And I’ve just been blessed.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Amy Boucher Pye is an author, speaker, retreat leader, and spiritual director. She’s the author of six books, including Transforming Love: How Friendship with Jesus Changes Us and 7 Ways to Pray. She writes for Our Daily Bread and other devotional publications and has an MA in Christian spirituality from the University of London. She lives with her family in north London. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you ever heard the phrase, you become like the people you spend the most time with?

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Lily Meschi is a director of Partners Relations at Iran Alive Ministries, a ministry with the mission to transform Iran into a Christian nation one soul at a time. Lily’s convinced that her experiences have shaped her to be a strong woman of God while standing for what is true, right, and just. Her passion is to help others, especially women, to realize their identity in Christ and become an agent of transformation. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you been paying attention to the news in Iran? Women are being devalued and oppressed in rising numbers with full governmental support. Lives are at stake and in need of Jesus. Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins are excited to sit with Lily Meschi, an Iranian American who works with Iran Alive Ministries to bring the knowledge of Jesus and the Gospel to Iranians with 24 hour broadcasting. Lily has an inspiring story about how God brought her out of her difficulties and pursued her heart. Sit with Lily and learn more during this conversation on God Hears Her. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“I felt trapped…” —Lily Meschi</p> </li> <li> <p>“I didn’t want to be a burden on anyone else, really telling them my true feelings of what… I [was] feeling right here and right now.” —Lily Meschi</p> </li> <li> <p>“For the first time after forever I felt like oh my gosh I’m actually accepted and loved without any strings attached.” —Lily Meschi</p> </li> <li> <p>“I was filled with supernatural faith right then and there which I would call it a Holy Spirit encounter right then and there.” —Lily Meschi</p> </li> <li> <p>“I held no knowledge of Jesus, of His deity, of Trinity, of—nothing. I knew nothing about Jesus other than He was one of the greatest prophets… But when she read that to me, John 1:1 and John 1:14, there was a sense of knowing imparted to me that tears started rolling down my cheeks.” —Lily Meschi</p> </li> <li> <p>“I was a new person. I knew that I was blessed, I was chosen, I was accepted, and I was loved by the Creator of this universe.” —Lily Meschi</p> </li> <li> <p>“I don’t know why this was part of my story… I trust that [God] had something planned out that He will unfold for me in future years. ” —Lily Meschi</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+1%3A1&amp;version=NIV"> John 1:1</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+1%3A14&amp;version=NIV"> John 1:14</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+29%3A11&amp;version=NIV"> Jeremiah 29:11</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+1%3A2-4&amp;version=NIV"> James 1:2—4</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Iran Alive Ministries: <a href="https://iranalive.org/">https://iranalive.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01EVPJVJRTG8L</p>]]>

Join hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins, as they talk with Sandra about the longings for home on this episode of God Hears Her.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“We don’t live in mountain top experiences, we live in moments of vacuuming and driving to work.” –Sandra Byrd</p> </li> <li> <p>“When God gives me an idea and it continues to flourish, that’s how I know it’s meant to be shared with someone else.” –Sandra Byrd</p> </li> <li> <p>“If I say I’m at home with someone, that means I feel very comfortable around them.” –Sandra Byrd</p> </li> <li> <p>“Self-control is really not signing up for too much. . . it’s when we feel like we’re the savior of the world and we need to take care of everyone else in the world that we go on autopilot, and time with God gets neglected.” –Sandra Byrd</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2011%3A19&amp;version=NIV"> Deuteronomy 11:19</a> </p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+46%3A1&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 46:1</a> </p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+6%3A46&amp;version=NIV"> Mark 6:46</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>Dwell: <a href="https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/dwell.html">https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/dwell.html</a> </p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her email sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc">https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc </a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01S9XRQXJHDVE</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Sarah Cowan Johnson is a ministry trainer, consultant, and coach who works with church planters, pastors, and ministry leaders across the United States. She leads seminars for parents on family discipleship to help their children walk in the way of Jesus. She served with the Evangelical Covenant Church as the executive pastor for Sanctuary Church in Providence, Rhode Island, and she previously was a staff trainer and an area director for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. Johnson is the cohost of The People of the Way podcast. She and her husband have two sons and live in Providence.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Do you have kids in your life? Maybe you’re a parent, a teacher, part of a kids ministry, or a babysitter in the midst of teaching or parenting kids. No matter what your role is, you may be overlooking the discipleship aspect of leading children. We are seeing high numbers of children who grow up and abandon their faith. Ministry trainer and leader Sarah Cowan Johnson is determined to grow awareness by equipping people with the tools they need to teach their children well. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins as they learn more about how to disciple children from Sarah Cowan Johnson during this conversation on God Hears Her.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“. . .50% of our kids in our churches that are actively involved are walking away from their faith after they graduate.” —Sarah Johnson</p> </li> <li> <p>“There is one thing that makes a difference. . . it’s parents who talk about and practice their faith at home. Statistics show that 82% of kids whose parents do that go on to follow Jesus as adults.” —Sarah Johnson</p> </li> <li> <p>“Kids go through stages of spiritual development just like they go through stages of emotional development, social development, all the things.” —Sarah Johnson</p> </li> <li> <p>“For the 12 and up crowd, the primary way that they engage their faith is by questioning and it looks like rejection even sometimes.” —Sarah Johnson</p> </li> <li> <p>“We are often tempted to be a priest for our kids, standing between God and our kids.” —Sarah Johnson</p> </li> <li> <p>“We should get out of the way and turn them over to God as soon as possible because that way, when the kid, as a natural part of growing up, rejects their parents’ values, they won’t reject God because God is theirs.” —Sarah Johnson</p> </li> <li> <p>“The goal is we want to connect them as early as we can to God directly, one to one and not make it a triangle, so that when they do push away from us they still are connected to God.” —Sarah Johnson</p> </li> <li> <p>“We need to teach our children how to hear God’s voice.” —Sarah Johnson</p> </li> <li> <p>“God knows our kids more than we do.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: </p> <p>Ask Cheryl about her greatest adventure and she’ll tell you, “That I know and love Jesus and get to make Him known.” She is a Bible teacher, author, speaker, and founder of Stepmom Sanity, a Christ-centered circle of support, providing help and hope for stepmoms who are “there” from stepmoms who’ve been there. She has authored 4 books including her most recent, Waiting to Be Wanted: A Stepmom’s Guide to Loving Before Being Loved. Cheryl uses her skills, education, and training as a Master Coach to equip blended families, support women in spiritual formation, and mentor formerly sex-trafficked women in basic life skills. Cheryl and her husband, Jonathan, make their home in Michigan and are frequently invaded by their 4 adult children looking for food and hugs! </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: </p> <p>Have you ever felt like you’ve been waiting to be wanted? Waiting tests our patience and sometimes prevents us from taking action. In the case of being a stepmom, we may feel like we’re waiting for our stepchildren to want us. In the wait we don’t know how to pursue a relationship with these new kids in our lives.</p> <p>Cheryl Shumake, the founder of Stepmom Sanity, wants you to know that you are not alone in your waiting season. In this conversation with Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy-Adkins, Cheryl will share how she waited to be wanted by growing a relationship with her stepchildren.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: </p> <p>Ryan Clevenger is a podcast producer at Our Daily Bread Ministries. He and his wife, Jennie, have been married for fourteen years, and have four daughters. Their first daughter, Eleanor, was born two months early and had to be in the NICU for thirty-three days. Their oldest three daughters are biological siblings who were adopted from Guyana, South America. Ryan did his PhD in historical theology with an emphasis on the Trinitarian theology of the early church. His wife, Jennie, is an RN with sixteen years of experience working in postpartum and pediatrics. Ryan and Jennie regularly take mission trips to Guyana, South America. While there, Ryan often teaches classes in Bible and theology to the national pastors in the seminary. Their whole family is actively involved in their church, Christ Church Anglican, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: </p> <p>Father’s Day may bring up good memories or disappointment. Are you someone that celebrates with your dad, or do you feel the loneliness from a lack of a good father in your life?

She specializes in helping women step into their life’s true calling through her Women of Consequence life planning organization. Prior to running her own business and co-founding a seven-figure therapy practice, Healthy Minds NYC, she worked in publishing at Hearst Magazines. She now splits her time between New York City and Atlanta with her psychiatrist husband and son. Chanel’s writing and contributions have appeared in publications such as the New York Times, Real Simple, Woman’s Day, Essence, Moneyish, Christianity Today, and Relevant Magazine.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you ever felt uncertain of your purpose? Have your eyes glazed over when it comes to talking about the future or thinking of your dreams?

And that’s what gets us off track. We start to believe that our lives need to conform to something else, and we start to twist, shape-shift, and conform ourselves to be something we were never meant to be.”—Chanel Dokun</p> </li> <li> <p>“It’s this idea that my worth is associated with these particular things—by what my job is or the people who are in my life or the stuff that I have. We start to lean into these lies, and we start to believe that is what our life is about.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: </p> <p>John Humphrey is the vice president and project leader for the nonprofit I Am Second. This organization exists to tell other’s radical testimonies, through book and film, to inspire people to put Jesus first in their lives. John also serves as producer of the majority of I Am Second films, including the feature documentary Loud Krazy Love, currently distributed via Showtime Networks. He holds master’s degrees in business administration from the University of Texas at Dallas and sports administration from Ohio University, and he has a bachelor’s degree in communications from Wake Forest University. He and his wife Kathleen have two married daughters, Jessica and Laura.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: </p> <p>What does it mean to be second? We live in a culture of always wanting to be number one, the champion, the first, and the best. But does that align with what the Bible says about how we are supposed to live as Christians? If we put ourselves first, how do we serve others, lay down our sinful ways, or ultimately allow God to be first? On this episode of God Hears Her, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy-Adkins talk with John Humphrey, the vice president of I Am Second, about what it means to be second to God, and discover that everyone has a testimony worth sharing.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“I Am Second Ministry means to put the needs of Jesus and others ahead of yourself.”— John Humphrey</p> </li> <li> <p>“We want people to see an authentic story of a person who has had a personal encounter with Jesus.”— John Humphrey</p> </li> <li> <p>“So many people think they don’t have a story. . .”— John Humphrey</p> </li> <li> <p>“I’ve been serving rather than living for myself.”— John Humphrey</p> </li> <li> <p>“There’s moments throughout your life that you know God and the Holy Spirit are alongside you. Sometimes it’s a moment of triumph, sometimes it’s a teaching moment. . . or that’s when it really became real to you about what Jesus did for you.”— John Humphrey</p> </li> <li> <p>“Know that your relationship with Jesus is the starting point and what matters. And if you lean into that. . . and let Him show you the next steps in life, not the final steps and where you ultimately want to get to, but the next steps in life.”— John Humphrey</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>I Am Second website: <a href="https://www.iamsecond.com/">https://www.iamsecond.com/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org</a>/ </p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://apple.co/3frJl9j">https://apple.co/3frJl9j</a> </p> </li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01GAQYW5OUGVD</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Brittany Maher is compelled by love to empower women to simplify their identity based on one thing alone: Jesus. She is the founder of Her True Worth, a large and growing online community designed to liberate an entire generation of faith-filled women with the freedom found in discovering their true worth in Christ. She and her husband, Ryan, invest most of their time in equipping and empowering God’s people for digital evangelism across the globe. Brittany is planted in Michigan with her husband, Ryan, and their daughter, Ariana. </p> <p> </p> <p>Cassandra Speer is a popular Christian blogger who desires to see women discover the depth of God’s love in a superficial world through the power of His Word. She is vice president of Her True Worth, a ministry created to encourage wounded and wandering women to find their identity and validation in Christ alone. Cassandra and her husband are planted in Oklahoma City, where they live with their three children. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Our worth comes from the sacrifice that Jesus made for us because of the love God has for us. But what does it mean to accept that we are worthy? What does life look like when we see ourselves as worthy because of who God made us to be? Cassandra Speer, the vice president of the ministry Her True Worth, shares with hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Elisa Morgan about what it means to accept our worthiness and live in the truth of the Lord on this episode of God Hears Her.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“We wanted to point women to the worth and value in their identity in Christ. . . . And we wanted to talk to the pinpoints of all the reasons and experiences as to why we feel as though we have to work for our worth.” —Cassandra Speer</p> </li> <li> <p>“She felt only as valuable as her ‘yes.’ She felt only as worthy as her availability, or what she can produce with her hands.”—Cassandra Speer</p> </li> <li> <p>“The underlying problem is our identity. Who we are and where that comes from. And there are so many counter identities the enemy uses.” —Cassandra Speer</p> </li> <li> <p>“Our best and worst moments are actually not the defining moments of our worth.” —Cassandra Speer</p> </li> <li> <p>“Day after day we are at war for our worth. . . .It is a daily [thing], taking up your cross and remembering.” —Cassandra Speer</p> </li> <li> <p>“If you are wavering with your worth, you are human. . . .But, as long as we know that our identity is in Him, we are secure.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: After years of working in bakeries, coffee shops, and food trucks, Mary Jo Clark returned to her love of audio production and sharing stories. She is now a podcast producer and engineer for Our Daily Bread Ministries. Outside of her passion for creating excellent podcasts to encourage women, she is a talented baker. Her cookies and cupcakes are described by many as “legendary.” She’s married to her husband Russ, and they are proud parents of a beautiful one-year-old boy named Milo.</p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Motherhood is a hard journey full of joys and sorrows. If you’re a mother, what does your motherhood journey look like? If you’re not a mom, do you wish to be one? On this episode of God Hears Her, no matter if you have kids or not, we want to invite you to join a vulnerable conversation with Elisa Morgan (mother-through-adoption and grandmother), Eryn Eddy Adkins (new bonus mom), and Mary Jo Clark (mother to a one-year-old boy). Join these three women as they discuss the different types of mothers and mentors and rest in the truth that no matter what your experience looks like, you are not alone. Happy Mother’s Day! </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li> <p>“There are so many ways to become a mother: adopting, fostering, becoming a stepmom or what I like to say “bonus mom,” and we want to make space for each experience.”—Eryn Eddy Adkins</p> </li> <li> <p>“I felt sad. I was mourning the loss of my old life. And then feeling immense guilt and shame because I loved this new baby so much, and I didn’t want to feel sad.”—Mary Jo Clark</p> </li> <li> <p>“If I had to put my finger on something that expresses the struggle or surprise of motherhood, it’s the lack of control.”—Elisa Morgan</p> </li> <li> <p>“The Lord is bringing me back to learning how to trust and depend on Him with the choices I make.”—Eryn Eddy Adkins</p> </li> <li> <p>“Sacrifice is an enormous part of motherhood.”—Elisa Morgan</p> </li> <li> <p>“It’s such an honor to be an influence on these girls’ lives. God trusts me to steward my influence on their lives and empower them in their voices and their own individuality.”—Eryn Eddy Adkins</p> </li> <li> <p>“Talk to people about the joys and the sorrows because it’s a rollercoaster of a job (motherhood), but it’s so beautiful.”—Mary Jo Clark</p> </li> <li> <p>“Your identity is not found in their emotional response.”—Eryn Eddy Adkins</p> </li> <li> <p>“I’m not responsible for my children’s choices. I’m responsible for my responses to their choices.”—Elisa Morgan</p> </li> <li> <p>“God doesn’t expect us to be perfect. And we’re not going to be. God can use our “Swiss cheese holes” to reveal our kids’ needs for Himself.”—Elisa Morgan</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li> <p>God Hears Her website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></p> </li> <li> <p>God Hears Her newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></p> </li> <li> <p>Mary Jo’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sugarcoated.bymj/">sugarcoated.bymj</a></p> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01AH7HAKMKIR5</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Julie Thomas is a wife, mother of two, life coach and author. After the birth of her second son, Julie battled a severe case of postpartum depression. For years, emotions of anxiety, confusion, and shame consumed her life, leading to isolation and suicidal thoughts. In her darkest hour, she felt God’s undeniable call to share her story with others.

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Shalini Bennet has a BA from Duke University and a certificate from the Soul Care Institute. She was part of the original group led by Sharon Garlough Brown that led her to write “Sensible Shoes”, a book about the spiritual journey of four women. She edits for her sister, Vaneetha Risner, who has written “The Scars That Have Shaped Me” and “Walking Through Fire”. She and her husband have three young adult children ranging from 21 to 26. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you ever heard of “spiritual formation”? It may sound complicated or confusing, but what if we told you it was as simple as practicing closeness with God? On today’s episode of God Hears Her, Shalini Bennett shares some wisdom with hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy, on how to practice spiritual formation while sharing her own personal testimony. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“We need to be born again to be rightly attached to our Father.” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“The gospel is worth everything, but it is not dependent on my getting it right.” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“The love you receive from the Lord does not depend on your performance.” —Eryn Eddy</li> <li>“When I focus on my performance, I am focusing on myself, not on the Lord.” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“We have somehow believed the lie that He [God] does not want me as I am—nobody wants me as I am!” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“You don’t know as much about you as He [God] knows about you, and He chose you before the foundation of the world.” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“I find we live in a world where what we’re hearing is “run harder, run faster, run better, run, run, run, run, run”. . . even if life is a wreck, stick a happy face on it and Jesus will be happy with you.” —Shalini Bennett</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203%3A3&amp;version=NIV"> John 3:3</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+81%3A10&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 81:10</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12%3A2&amp;version=NIV"> Romans 12:2</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=zephania+3%3A17&amp;version=NIV"> Zephania 3:17</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01RQCG2R0QM01</p>]]>

She and her husband have three young adult children ranging from 21 to 26. </p> <p> </p> <p>Show Summary: Have you ever heard of “spiritual formation”? It may sound complicated or confusing, but what if we told you it was as simple as practicing closeness with God? On today’s episode of God Hears Her, Shalini Bennett shares some wisdom with hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy, on how to practice spiritual formation while sharing her own personal testimony. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“We need to be born again to be rightly attached to our Father.” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“The gospel is worth everything, but it is not dependent on my getting it right.” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“The love you receive from the Lord does not depend on your performance.” —Eryn Eddy</li> <li>“When I focus on my performance, I am focusing on myself, not on the Lord.” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“We have somehow believed the lie that He [God] does not want me as I am—nobody wants me as I am!” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“You don’t know as much about you as He [God] knows about you, and He chose you before the foundation of the world.” —Shalini Bennett</li> <li>“I find we live in a world where what we’re hearing is “run harder, run faster, run better, run, run, run, run, run”. . . even if life is a wreck, stick a happy face on it and Jesus will be happy with you.” —Shalini Bennett</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203%3A3&amp;version=NIV"> John 3:3</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+81%3A10&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 81:10</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+12%3A2&amp;version=NIV"> Romans 12:2</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=zephania+3%3A17&amp;version=NIV"> Zephania 3:17</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01RQCG2R0QM01</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Guest Bio: Sheila Wise Rowe is a graduate of Tufts University and Cambridge College with a master’s degree in counseling psychology. For over twenty-five years she has counseled abuse and trauma survivors in the United States. Sheila ministered to homeless and abused women and children in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she also taught counseling and trauma-related courses for a decade. She is the cofounder of <a href="https://thecyrenemovement.com/">The Cyrene Movement</a>, an online community for people of color seeking healing for racial trauma.

Maybe from a traumatic moment or a series of events that altered our lives. Do you feel different after your trauma experience? Have you been working to overcome things from your past or present that hurt you? Tensions have been high, and have caused an increasing amount of anxiety and pain, but God doesn’t leave us alone to deal with the aftermath. On this episode of God Hears Her, counselor Sheila Wise Rowe talks with Elisa Morgan about how we can overcome different types of trauma and work to heal racial trauma as a community of believers. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“The reality is that most of us have experienced some sort of trauma.” —Sheila Wise Rowe</li> <li>“Multiple little T traumas can have a bigger impact than having one big T trauma.” —Sheila Wise Rowe</li> <li>“In order to be a counselor, you need to have been counseled.” —Elisa Morgan</li> <li>“Trauma is held in our bodies, and the only way to expel that is by moving (exercising, walking).” —Sheila Wise Rowe</li> <li>“I want brothers and sisters in Christ who are more than just allies, they are literally brothers and sisters and are participating in God’s shalom and justice.” —Sheila Wise Rowe</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>Healing Racial Trauma</em> book by Sheila Wise Rowe: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Healing-Racial-Trauma-Road-Resilience/dp/0830845887"> Amazon</a></li> <li>Sheila’s Website: https://sheilawiserowe.com/home</li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>MB01LXZPUQWRC9Q</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Sometimes in life we find ourselves down or hurt when our expectations aren’t met or things don’t go the way we thought they would. On the other hand, things can go well and we may still be faced with negative emotions. Navigating the blues looks different for everyone, but guest Katara Patton shares some practical advice and tips from her own experiences with hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy to help us navigate our mental health on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Katara Washington Patton is a Senior Editor at Our Daily Bread Publishing, and the author of eight books, including <em>5-Minute Devotional Book for Women</em> and <em>Navigating the Blues: Where to Turn When Worry, Anxiety, or Depression Steal Your Hope</em>. Patton is a native of Thibodaux, Louisiana. She and her husband, Derrick, reside on the South Side of Chicago. They have one daughter, Kayla. She is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. As much as possible, she tries to enjoy a Zumba class and a competitive game of Scrabble to keep her life balanced.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I expected life to be high. . . I had a family who loved me. . . Life is not always high.” —Katara Patton</li> <li>“The only energy I had was to go to work and go to bed. One day I made a deal with myself that if I go to bed today, then I have to call a therapist tomorrow.” —Katara Patton</li> <li>“When you describe the numbness, a lot of people resonate with that.” —Katara Patton</li> <li>“We can find it hard to get out of bed even when life is good!” —Elisa Morgan</li> <li>“You have to take it one moment at a time. You don’t have to scale the whole mountain at once, just take it one step at a time.” —Katara Patton</li> <li>“Most of the time your friends and people do want to help, they just don’t know how.” —Katara Patton</li> <li>“Look at Elijah’s story! He showed a lot of signs of depression and God gave him very practical advice. Take a rest, have some food!” —Katara Patton</li> <li>“You need to allow yourself to feel your emotions and let others help you.” —Katara Patton</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+19&amp;version=NIV"> 1 Kings 19</a> Elijah’s story</li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%205%3A17-39&amp;version=NLV"> Luke 5:17–39</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2011%3A35&amp;version=NIV"> John 11:35</a> “Jesus wept.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <p> </p> <ul> <li><em>Navigating the Blues by Katara Patton: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Navigating-Blues-Anxiety-Depression-Steals/dp/1640702075"> https://www.amazon.com/Navigating-Blues-Anxiety-Depression-Steals/dp/1640702075</a></em></li> <li><a href="https://www.mentalhealth.gov/">https://www.mentalhealth.gov/</a></li> <li>Call or text <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/988">988</a> for mental health aid in the case of an emergency</li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Christmas is a beloved time of year. But it can be easy to get caught up in the season and forget about why we celebrate Christmas. On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy share the story of two real people in the Christmas story who were changed by Jesus being born. Join this conversation to learn more about how Christmas changes everything for us!</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>When Christmas becomes more than what’s handed down by traditions, it does change everything. —Elisa Morgan</li> <li>When I started understanding the crucifixion, then I started understanding the birth of Jesus. Before that, Christmas was these holiday fun things you would do and sadness processing a grief every year.  —Eryn Eddy</li> <li>The whole story of the Bible is about God’s love for humankind, our struggles to believe it, our choosing to do things on our own rather than believe it and God creating a deliverance for us in spite of ourselves. —Elisa Morgan</li> <li>Jesus reveals us. His presence in our lives reveals who we are, what we depend on, what we believe, our need for Him. He causes us to be revealed. —Elisa Morgan</li> <li>Whether you’re waiting for a relationship, or to become a parent, or a turn in your career—these things we are waiting for. To be like Simeon, changed by Christmas, in the way that we move from a trusting waiter to a fulfilled follower. —Elisa Morgan</li> <li>When I think of (Anna’s) loneliness, I’ve fought through feeling lonely and neglected with prayer and fasting and worship. It’s what got me through the other side of depression and anxiety. Worship and prayer. —Eryn Eddy</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+2%3A22-35&amp;version=NIV"> Luke 2:22-35</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+2%3A36-38&amp;version=NIV"> Luke 2:36-38</a> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/looking-back-to-move-forward-our-100th-episode"> Episode 100</a> </li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> tote: <a href="https://godhearsher.org/shop" rel="noopener">https://godhearsher.org/shop</a></li> <li>Elisa’s book <a href="https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/christmas-changes-everything.html"> Christmas Changes Everything</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a> </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>MB01TWA7JW5JPVZ</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever experienced times where you just didn’t feel like praying? Maybe you go through phases where reading your Bible is boring or you just don’t have the energy to read another devotional. <em>God Hears Her</em> hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy have had those moments too.

Wow!”—Elisa</li> <li>“Can I just see You today? Give me the eyes and ears to see You today.” I want to do that more, where I’m just recognizing the little things I see. I want to call it out when I see it versus let it go by me.—Eryn</li> <li>Even if he doesn’t do the things I hope for, the journey and intimacy of me expressing and being vulnerable and trusting prepares me either way for the response of what I’m hoping for.—Eryn</li> <li>When we open Scripture, we can open our spiritual ears and remind ourselves God is talking to me.

        <![CDATA[<p>In life we all get hit with unexpected news that brings change in one way or another. Sometimes the news is a diagnosis we weren’t expecting or an answer we’ve been waiting for.

        <![CDATA[<p>Most of us spend a lot of time on social media. We mindlessly scroll through our feeds and spend time curating content for our friends and family. But how often do we share our faith on social media? What does it mean to be someone worth following? Dr. Jen Bennett is an expert on how to impact culture for Christ on social media. Join Dr. Bennett as she talks with hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy about what it means to be worth following on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Dr. Jen Bennett is a strategic communication professor at Indiana Wesleyan University, Jen equips college students to discover their voice, develop their expertise, and lead with influence to impact culture for Christ. She has coached various entrepreneurs, small business owners, ministries, organizations, and college students in social media, personal branding, marketing, and public relations. Jen was named as one of <a href="https://blog.nowmarketinggroup.com/61-women-in-digital-you-should-be-following"> <em>61 Women in Digital You Should Be Following</em></a><em>.</em> In 2019 she was chosen as one of 55 social media influencers (out of 700 applicants) to attend #NASASocial for the Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch. She is also the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BeWorthFollowing-Different-Influence-People-Crowded/dp/1978303416/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;amp&amp;keywords=%23BeWorthFollowing&amp;amp&amp;qid=1601249169&amp;amp&amp;sr=8-1"> <em>#BeWorthFollowing: How to be Different and Influence People in a Crowded Social World.</em></a> In April of 2021, Jen launched the <a href="https://drjenbennett.com/podcast-she-impacts-culture/"><em>She</em> <em>Impacts</em> <em>Culture</em> podcast</a>, a podcast for trailblazing, faith-based women who want to lead with influence and impact culture for Christ.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>What keeps us back from sharing things on social media is fear… that then keeps us from sharing the message that God wants us to share.—Dr. Jen Bennett</li> <li>God has given you a voice for a reason. God has given you your specific experiences and stories not to keep it to yourself but to encourage the lives of others.

        <![CDATA[<p>Most of us spend a lot of time on social media. We mindlessly scroll through our feeds and spend time curating content for our friends and family. But how often do we share our faith on social media? What does it mean to be someone worth following? Dr. Jen Bennett is an expert on how to impact culture for Christ on social media. Join Dr. Bennett as she talks with hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy about what it means to be worth following on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Dr. Jen Bennett is a strategic communication professor at Indiana Wesleyan University, Jen equips college students to discover their voice, develop their expertise, and lead with influence to impact culture for Christ. She has coached various entrepreneurs, small business owners, ministries, organizations, and college students in social media, personal branding, marketing, and public relations. Jen was named as one of <a href="https://blog.nowmarketinggroup.com/61-women-in-digital-you-should-be-following"> <em>61 Women in Digital You Should Be Following</em></a><em>.</em> In 2019 she was chosen as one of 55 social media influencers (out of 700 applicants) to attend #NASASocial for the Falcon Heavy Rocket Launch. She is also the author of the book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BeWorthFollowing-Different-Influence-People-Crowded/dp/1978303416/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;amp&amp;keywords=%23BeWorthFollowing&amp;amp&amp;qid=1601249169&amp;amp&amp;sr=8-1"> <em>#BeWorthFollowing: How to be Different and Influence People in a Crowded Social World.</em></a> In April of 2021, Jen launched the <a href="https://drjenbennett.com/podcast-she-impacts-culture/"><em>She</em> <em>Impacts</em> <em>Culture</em> podcast</a>, a podcast for trailblazing, faith-based women who want to lead with influence and impact culture for Christ.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>What keeps us back from sharing things on social media is fear… that then keeps us from sharing the message that God wants us to share.—Dr. Jen Bennett</li> <li>God has given you a voice for a reason. God has given you your specific experiences and stories not to keep it to yourself but to encourage the lives of others. There is somebody out there who needs to hear what you have to say.—Dr. Jen Bennett</li> <li>Influence—the world is all about being a celebrity.

        <![CDATA[<p>We all have our own scars. Maybe they are in obvious places where people ask the story behind them. Or maybe they’re internal without anyone knowing about them. No matter what they look like or mean to you…you are more than your scars. On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, plane crash survivor and <em>America’s Got Talent</em> finalist, Kechi Okwuchi, shares the story behind her scars with hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Kechi Okwuchi is a Nigerian American recording artist and motivational speaker. One of two survivors in a plane crash in 2005, Kechi is now a burn survivor advocate and a national patient ambassador for Shriners Children’s Hospital in Galveston, Texas. In 2017, she became a finalist on <em>America’s Got Talent</em> and has continued to put out her own original music since the show. She hopes to use her story and musical talents to ignite hope.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>Pain is a strong indicator of life. —Kechi Okwuchi</li> <li>The more I watched my mom’s relationship with God, I noticed her unshakable confident faith, and I was curious.—Kechi Okwuchi</li> <li>I was one of two survivors out of 109 passengers on the plane.—Kechi Okwuchi</li> <li>I couldn’t understand how God could be good but also let all those children die.—Kechi Okwuchi</li> <li>I used to believe if you believed in God, you were protected from bad things. But my mom helped me realize being a Christian does not stop bad things from happening to you, but it gives you a place to go when bad things happen to you.—Kechi Okwuchi</li> <li>South Africa saved my life, but America gave my life back.—Kechi Okwuchi</li> <li>I had a platform to tell people there is life after trauma.—Kechi Okwuchi</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Check out Kechi’s book <a href="https://www.kechiofficial.com"><em>More than My Scars</em></a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Relationships take a lot of work to maintain and grow in. Differences come up whether we like it or not and points of conflict can make us feel like running as far away as possible. Finding points of connection can feel like finding a needle in a haystack, but the relationship grows best when we love bravely. Married couple, Rob and Joanna Teigen, have worked through many ups and downs throughout their marriage. Join them and hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy as they reflect on marriage and the work it takes to build healthy relationships while loving each other bravely.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guests:</p> <p>Rob and Joanna have celebrated over twenty-five years of marriage and are loving life with two sons, three daughters, and a beautiful daughter-in-law. They share an addiction to coffee, bookstores, and Christmas music. They debate whether two dogs are enough and who should win “The Voice” every season. Rob and Joanna are a neat-freak married to a mess, an explorer to a homebody, and an introvert to a ‘people person.’ But they do agree that their vows are for always, children are a gift, and prayer is powerful. Over the years, the Teigens have lived in five states as they made their way to West Michigan. Serving as foster parents, marriage mentors, small-group leaders, and authors, they are passionate to help couples and moms and dads experience the power of God in their families. They look forward to meeting you here, supporting your pursuit of God and the hearts of your loved ones. They can’t wait to grow together with you.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>In marriage you have your individual struggles and your individual passions, but you have to figure out how to bring those together.—Rob Teigen</li> <li>When people ask, ‘how have you stayed married?’ Sometimes the response is just, “I stayed.”—Elisa Morgan</li> <li>The marriage covenant may keep you together, but you can’t let yourself stay there. God wants so much more for marriage.—Rob Teigen</li> <li>There are different seasons in marriage, but you can’t let your feelings convince you they’re true. —Eryn Eddy</li> <li>Even after thirty years of marriage, it requires continuous work.—Rob Teigen</li> <li>Marriage and parenting is like being in charge of someone’s soul.—Rob Teigen</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%205%3A14&amp;version=NIV"> 1 John 5:14 </a></li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+13%3A7&amp;version=NIV"> 1 Corinthians 13:7</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Rob and Joanna Teigen’s website and bookstore: <a href="https://growinghometogether.com/">https://growinghometogether.com/</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>When tragedy strikes it might be tempting to run from God or start to doubt His goodness. Some of us may be caught up in wondering where He is when bad things happen. How have you reacted to tragedies in your own life? In this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy invite you to a conversation with guest Julia Pinkster as she reflects on multiple tragedies in her life and how God has been with her and her family through all of  them.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Julia Pinkster grew up in Kalamazoo, MI where she went to Loy Norrix High School. She attended Grand Valley State University for two and a half years but is now transferred to Kalamazoo Valley Community College to pursue a degree in Paramedicine. She has a service dog named Willow who is two years old and a yellow lab. Growing up, she had two younger brothers. One of them had severe cerebral palsy. She grew up as a caregiver for her brother and this has led her to have a passion for helping others. On top of hoping to become a paramedic, she hopes to become involved in raising and training dogs for police K-9 units. Her faith is so incredibly important to her and has been her biggest rock when she has gone through the darkest of times.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>The best way to help heal from traumatic situations is to help others in similar situations.—Julia Pinkster</li> <li>It’s important to be selfless. If you focus on yourself too much, you will get down on yourself and constantly ask “why me?”—Julia Pinkster</li> <li>It doesn’t matter the amount of time you have on earth, it’s about the number of people you impact.—Julia Pinkster</li> <li>If you are struggling with any dark thoughts, be vulnerable, tell someone, and think about the people around you who love you and would miss you if you were gone.—Julia Pinkster</li> <li>Humans are not meant to do life on our own.—Julia Pinkster</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2090%3A12&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 90:12</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2023%3A4&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 23:4</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a> </li> <li><a href="https://988lifeline.org/">Suicide prevention website</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Trigger Warning</p> <p>Discussions on suicide and traumatic, descriptive scenarios of death.</p> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p><em>God Hears Her</em> has officially reached its 100th episode! Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy as they reflect back on the show with producers Daniel Ryan Day, Mary Jo Clark, and Jade Gustafson. You’ll hear lots of laughter as they share how the team came together, the behind the scenes of producing the podcast, and their reflections on favorite past episodes. Join <em>God Hears Her</em> for its special 100th episode!</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>In the very first recording, within three minutes, Eryn and Elisa had pulled each others’ chairs across the divider so they could sit right next to each other.—Daniel Ryan Day</li> <li>I had to fight against the idea that I didn’t have purpose unless I was a wife and mother. But that’s something I appreciated about <em>God Hears Her</em>.—hosts from different generations and guests from all sorts of backgrounds.—Mary Jo Clark</li> <li>Sometimes we have to be the community we want to find. – Daniel Ryan Dan</li> <li>Sometimes the best way to create community is to ask people for help.—Elisa Morgan</li> <li>More like creative followership than leading—the Lord has brought the team here to lead. It’s more asking God to help me to be open-minded and trusting that God is behind the scenes. It’s mutual respect for each other—coleading.—Daniel Ryan Day</li> <li>I didn’t like podcasts before becoming a producer for a podcast.—Jade Gustafson</li> <li>The day before Our Daily Bread Ministries contacted me about this podcast, I had a pastor tell me that I should not have a microphone due to me going through divorce. It devastated me. What I learned is that God always has the final say.—Eryn Eddy  </li> <li>We’ve been on the other side of life change with about seventy people. Every story impacted me.—Eryn Eddy</li> <li>What do you do in relationships that are difficult for you? Stay with the difficulty. Stay with the discomfort. Stay with the love.— Elisa Morgan</li> <li>As producers, we do research about all these people and we prepare questions, and then we get into the conversion, and it’s always so unexpected. Like with Ellie Holcomb—so authentic and real about her story and her pain. None of that was planned.—Jade Gustafson</li> <li>That underlines why it’s called <em>God Hears Her</em>. He just takes it. People probably don’t realize that it’s not planned. It’s just a conversation that unfolds. I hope that convinces you that God hears you.—Elisa Morgan</li> <li>We think we want control. But then we find out God’s ways really are better than our ways. Even when life doesn’t seem to be looking like it’s better.—Daniel Ryan Day</li> <li>It’s gorgeous how each one of us had been told something that the enemy wanted us to believe and then <em>God Hears Her</em> is the birthplace of God saying, “No, I hear you, I see you. You are loved. I have a different plan, and I’m going to transform you with the guests that I bring on the show.”—Eryn Eddy</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a> </li> <li>Episode 4: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-04-taste-and-see?rq=Margaret"> Taste and See</a> (with Margaret Feinberg)</li> <li>Episode 57: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/living-with-depression?rq=Robinson"> Living with Depression</a> (with Sarah J.

        <![CDATA[<p>Does prayer feel hard to you? Do you struggle with knowing how to talk to God about your cares and concerns? Do you ever hide your prayer requests from God as if they’re not good enough? Does prayer feel like a chore rather than a conversation? Well, on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, guest Lori Hatcher shares how prayer is just talking to a dear friend who wants to hear from you! Lori also shares with Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy about her own personal faith and how it has influenced her to change the way she prays through different seasons of waiting in her life.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Lori Hatcher is an author, blogger, pastor’s wife, and women’s ministry speaker. She’s written five devotionals, including <em>Refresh Your Prayers</em>: <em>Uncommon Devotions to Restore Power and Praise</em>, and <em>Refresh Your Faith</em>: <em>Uncommon Devotions from Every Book of the Bible</em>. Her articles and devotions have appeared in numerous print and online publications including <em>Our Daily Bread</em>, <em>Guideposts</em>, <em>Revive Our Hearts</em>, and <em>Crosswalk.com</em>. A contest-winning Toastmasters International speaker (ACG, ALB), Lori uses high-impact stories to impart transformational truth. Lori and her husband, a pastor, live delightfully close to their four grandchildren in Lexington, South Carolina.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>Prayer was not meant to be a monologue. It was meant to be a two-way conversation.—Lori Hatcher</li> <li>When we take everything into our hands, we leave Him out of the picture.—Elisa Morgan</li> <li>I sat under sound Bible teaching for two years before the Word of God penetrated my heart.—Lori Hatcher</li> <li>For prodigal mamas who wonder if all those years of raising their kids in faith was a waste, now they’re not living for God. Was that a waste? God’s Word never returns void.—Lori Hatcher</li> <li>Sometimes our greatest step is to allow God to find us. If we just let ourselves be found and loved it’s, maybe, the hardest thing we’ll ever do.—Elisa Morgan</li> <li>Listening to God is far more important than giving Him your ideas.—Lori Hatcher</li> <li>Instead of getting things from God, you get God.—Lori Hatcher</li> <li>The transformation happened when I learned to listen. The main way God speaks to us today is through His Word.—Lori Hatcher </li> <li>The main purpose of prayer is to build our relationship with God.—Lori Hatcher</li> <li>Every time we read God’s Word, He’s speaking to us.—Lori Hatcher </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li>Lori’s latest book: <a href="https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/refresh-your-faith.html"> Refresh Your Faith</a></li> <li>Lori’s website: <a href="https://lorihatcher.com">Lori Hatcher</a> </li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Enjoy this episode?

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever thought about whether you are a Mary or a Martha from the Bible? Does your calling reflect parts of your personality? Do you like things clean and organized, like Martha? Or are you a Mary, focused on giving people time and attention? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy talk with guest Denisse Copeland about what it means to be set apart as a daughter of the King, no matter if you’re a Mary or a Martha.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Denisse Copeland was born and raised by a single mother in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Her upbringing offered little stability, and Denisse soon found herself on a seemingly endless quest to find love and acceptance. It wasn’t until Jesus shook her world that she truly found what she was looking for. Now a mother of three living in Oklahoma City, Denisse works alongside her husband, Rashawn Copeland, as an online minister and evangelist. Their ministry reaches more than 6 million people every year.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>God gave me a gift that was difficult for me to accept as a child. —Denisse Copeland</li> <li>I was confessing but I didn’t know it, and I felt tangible peace for the first time. —Denisse Copeland</li> <li>I never felt peace growing up. I didn’t know what peace was or felt like. —Denisse Copeland</li> <li>I said, “Yes, Lord!” It felt like somebody loved me. I accepted that proposal. —Denisse Copeland</li> <li>Martha’s gift wasn’t wrong. She was just doing it from an anxious heart. —Denisse Copeland</li> <li>The heart posture is what’s driving you to do what you’re doing. If you’re abiding in Him, there is rest. —Denisse Copeland</li> <li>I am set apart. I am a daughter. I don’t have to prove anything. —Denisse Copeland</li> <li>Sometimes what frustrates us most is what leads us to our giftedness. —Denisse Copeland</li> <li>Jesus gives us permission to rest. —Denisse Copeland</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%201&amp;version=NIV"> Psalm 1</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+10%3A38-42&amp;version=NIV"> Luke 10:38-42</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li>Get your copy of Denisse’s book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Set-Apart-Comparing-Giftedness-Jesus/dp/1540901025"> Set Apart</a> on Amazon</li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a> </li> <li>Denisse’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/setapartdaughters/?hl=en">setapartdaughters</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever lost someone? Maybe you’ve grown distant from a friend you enjoyed a great connection with. Or someone you loved dearly is no longer in your life. Karen Booker Schelhaas faces life without her husband every day, but in this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, she shares how God has shown up in the midst of her intangible grief. Hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy talk with Karen about life after becoming a widow, and how we can grow through grief. </p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Karen Booker Schelhaas lives near Denver, CO, and is a full-time mother to her five children, two of whom were adopted from Ethiopia in 2008. Widowed in 2019 from the love of her life, but anchored in her faith, Karen has passion for serving the grieving at her church and in her community, traveling, writing, empowering younger women, cooking for others, and being active in the great Colorado outdoors. She is also a Wheaton College graduate and published author.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>The life I had really shattered. There weren’t pieces I could glue together. — Karen Booker Schelhaas</li> <li>I started screaming, and God whispered, “I can take it, keep it coming.” — Karen Booker Schelhaas</li> <li>Lament can become a form of worship because it speaks to a relationship. I don’t have to clean it up for God. — Karen Booker Schelhaas</li> <li>We cannot live outside of community, and that’s especially true of the grief process. — Karen Booker Schelhaas</li> <li>Defiant hope. I don’t get to choose where I’ve been planted, but I can choose whether or not to let God help me bloom. — Karen Booker Schelhaas</li> <li>I’ve been very honest about my grief which has given my children permission to be honest with their grief. — Karen Booker Schelhaas</li> <li>Grief is holy ground. There aren’t rules to grief. No timeline. — Karen Booker Schelhaas</li> <li>Even in the greatest pain and heartache, God shows up, and if we keep our eyes open, we can see Him at work. — Karen Booker Schelhaas</li> <li>Be patient.

        <![CDATA[<p>How do we follow God’s will for our lives? Some of us have dreams and goals that end up changing over time, or are completely changed by a God who then provides in unknown ways. Finding peace in these moments is hard! Teresa Swanstrom Anderson had a plan for her life when God stepped in and completely altered it!

She currently has four books published, including three best-selling Bible studies (three more are set to release in the next several years).</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>Just because you’re passionate about something, doesn’t mean that’s your calling. –Teresa </li> <li>There has to be a time of preparation in our lives.

        <![CDATA[<p>In today’s culture, fathers get a bad wrap. Either they don’t show up for their kids at all, or if they do, they are heavily criticized.

        <![CDATA[<p>When you were a kid, how did you feel about your hometown? Did you stay in the same area? Or move around to different places? Growing up involved a lot of transitions and questions of identity for missionary kid Jennie Clevenger. Join Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy in a conversation with Jennie Clevenger as she shares about her past and how it has shaped her life now on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Jennie Clevenger grew up in Guyana, South America as a missionary kid and is still involved in ministry there to this day. She currently works as a RN at a COVID-19 testing and vaccination center. Jennie’s hope is that her efforts there with her wonderful coworkers will encourage and support the community in any way possible. She is passionate about listening to —and sometimes even butting into—any discussion involving women in the church! She feels a sense of urgency to learn more, read more, and discuss more about the importance of lifting women up in their homes, communities, and the life of the church. She has been married to her husband, Ryan, for thirteen years and they have four beautiful girls.

        <![CDATA[<p>When you were a kid, how did you feel about your hometown? Did you stay in the same area? Or move around to different places? Growing up involved a lot of transitions and questions of identity for missionary kid Jennie Clevenger. Join Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy in a conversation with Jennie Clevenger as she shares about her past and how it has shaped her life now on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Jennie Clevenger grew up in Guyana, South America as a missionary kid and is still involved in ministry there to this day. She currently works as a RN at a COVID-19 testing and vaccination center.

        <![CDATA[<p>Imagine if you dealt with a debilitating migraine every day of your life and doctors didn’t have the right answers to help you heal. What would you do? How would you cope? Dr. Jerome Lubbe experienced this firsthand before becoming a functional neurologist and working to improve people’s well-being. The brain is a complex system, and sometimes the answers to our suffering aren’t easy to come by. On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy talk to Dr. Jerome Lubbe about the brain and the pain a lot of us face.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Dr. Jerome is a functional neurologist who knows that healing is possible, even when it feels impossible, because of the brain’s ability to reorganize itself and create new connections. He specializes in complex and unresolved neurological cases because he knows what it’s like to have an undiagnosed issue as he suffered from migraines without any answers for years! His practice also explores how functional neurology, neuroplasticity, and tools like the Enneagram can improve our well-being. Dr. Jerome created and released the first-ever neuroscience based model of the Enneagram in his book, <em>The Brain-Based Enneagram</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>Is your pain more like Job’s, Paul’s, or Jesus’? —Dr. Jerome Lubbe</li> <li>Sometimes you have to ask yourself if your pain is something you have to die to. —Dr. Jerome Lubbe</li> <li>My body was made by a Creator who knows more than me. —Dr. Jerome Lubbe</li> <li>Sometimes we think silence is God’s absence. —Dr. Jerome Lubbe</li> <li>There is nothing more significant on earth than a deep breath. —Dr. Jerome Lubbe</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes+3%3A1-8&amp;version=NIV"> Ecclesiastes 3:1–8</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke+22%3A42&amp;version=NIV"> Luke 22:42</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+17%3A21&amp;version=NIV"> John 17:21</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org">https://www.godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisa morgan author</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a> </li> <li>Dr. Jerome Lubbe’s website: <a href="https://www.drjerome.com/">https://www.drjerome.com/</a></li> <li>Dr. Jerome Lubbe’s book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Based-Enneagram-You-are-number/dp/173329452X/ref=asc_df_173329452X/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=508251227705&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=15529146134085583451&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9017520&amp;hvtargid=pla-912777142742&amp;psc=1"> https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Based-Enneagram-You-are-number/dp/173329452X/ref=asc_df_173329452X/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=508251227705&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=15529146134085583451&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9017520&amp;hvtargid=pla-912777142742&amp;psc=1</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever thought about how much time you spend on technology? How often do you pick up your phone throughout the day? Do you find yourself using it as a constant escape? On this “best of” <em>God Hears Her</em> episode, Elisa and Eryn revisit a conversation with Amy Crouch where they talk about being wise with how much time we spend on technology. Listen for some great practical advice from Amy.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Amy Crouch is the author of <em>My Tech-Wise Life</em> and attends Cornell University studying linguistics, English, and anything else she can fit into her schedule. Her book is a follow-up to her father’s book, <em>The Tech-Wise Family</em> by Andy Crouch, and she describes what it’s like to grow up in a family that takes a disciplined approach to technology as well as offers helpful hints for others. Amy loves to cook, climb mountains, and chat about books.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“We took a sabbath once a week from work, but also screens.”</li> <li>“My parents were always really intentional in saying to me, ‘This is why we have made these shared commitments.’”</li> <li>“Real life has to be difficult. If it is not difficult, it’s not real life.”</li> <li>“Another question to ask ourselves is ‘What am I escaping, and why?’”</li> <li>“Ask yourself, is social media making it harder for you to be content?”</li> <li>“Every time I survive distraction, I am reminded that it doesn’t have power over me.”</li> <li>“Technology is really good at shaping our habits.”</li> <li>Baby steps: Don’t beat yourself up, start and end your days without screens, leave your phone out of the bedroom, find something to take the place of technology.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order <em>My Tech-Wise Life</em> on Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/3xVCyaZ">https://amzn.to/3xVCyaZ</a> </li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

In places where we should feel safe, we often fear judgment or feel anxiety while trying to diagnose where our thoughts may be coming from.

Robinson once believed her lifelong battle with depression made her a bad Christian. And yet, through her years of shame, self-harm, and suicide attempts, Sarah learned that God is present in our deepest darkness. Sarah is now an author and speaker who helps others discover that mental illness doesn’t disqualify them from living rich, beautiful lives in Christ. Drawing from a decade of ministry experience and the mental health field, Sarah helps readers fight for wholeness and cultivate joy.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever found yourself in a place where you felt convicted to stand up for someone being oppressed? Or maybe you’ve felt a strong desire to be an advocate for them but you couldn’t seem to find your voice? On this “best of” <em>God Hears Her</em> episode, we revisit a conversation we had with Tiffany Bluhm as she explores the path of finding our voice when we find ourselves in a place of injustice. She’ll also share her own journey of how she found her place in Jesus, justice, and women.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest: </p> <p>Tiffany Bluhm is the author of <em>She Dreams</em> and <em>Never Alone</em> and their companion Bible studies, as well as her latest book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Prey-Tell-Silence-Women-Everyone/dp/1587434784/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=prey+tell&amp;qid=1620925274&amp;sr=8-1"> <em>Prey Tell</em></a><em>.</em> She is cohost of the <a href="https://www.tiffanybluhm.com/podcast/"><em>Why Tho</em></a> podcast and leads an engaged audience of followers online. Tiffany is committed to encouraging people of faith to live with conviction, substance, and grace. As a minority, immigrant woman with an interracial family, Bluhm is passionate about inviting all to the table of faith, equality, justice, and dignity.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“I always felt welcome in the kingdom. I always felt like I had found my place.”</li> <li>“As my faith grew and as my grip on justice tightened, there was this intersection and I found my place. It’s Jesus and it’s justice and it’s women.”</li> <li>“In my work, I critique how we have messaged Jesus, how we have weaponized Scripture against women. Because the honest truth is the imbalance of power we see in our world is one of the leading factors to derail a woman’s faith, career, financial standing, and her reputation.” </li> <li>“It came to understanding that loyalty to conviction had to override my loyalty to an institution.”</li> <li>“If you see something that is inherently wrong, and you stay silent, you become complicit in that action.”</li> <li>“Think of the opportunity, especially among women, to lock arms and to serve and listen and to lament with one another. And to bring change.”</li> <li>“Change in gender inequality has only come when women have locked arms together.”</li> <li>“How did we, from the first century to this modern day, twist Jesus’ words and weaponize Scripture to make women feel small? And how can we right that cultural wrong through a biblical lens?”</li> <li>“This idea of ‘don’t touch the Lord’s anointed’ has been taken out of context to mean that ‘those who are anointed or appointed are immune from dissent.’”</li> <li>“If Jesus held up one woman’s testimony, so must we.”</li> <li>“Fear is a flashing red light of a lack of love.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon. <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order <em>God Loves Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women:</em> <a href="http://godlovesher.org">godlovesher.org</a></li> <li>Order Tiffany’s book <em>Prey Tell</em>: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Prey-Tell-Silence-Women-Everyone/dp/1587434784/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=prey+tell&amp;qid=1620925274&amp;sr=8-1"> https://www.amazon.com/Prey-Tell-Silence-Women-Everyone/dp/1587434784/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=prey+tell&amp;qid=1620925274&amp;sr=8-1</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Tiffany’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tiffanybluhm/" rel="noopener">tiffanybluhm</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Where are you from? Have you ever thought about that question? Do you ever think about where you started and how it led to where you are now? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy talk to Rasool Berry about where he is from and how that shapes where he is now.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Rasool Berry serves as teaching pastor at The Bridge Church in Brooklyn, New York. He also is the Director of Partnerships &amp; Content Development with Our Daily Bread Ministries. He hosts the <a href="http://whereyafrom.org/" rel="noopener"><em>Where Ya From?</em></a> podcast, which uses stories to connect us to people applying their faith for social change. He also was the host of <a href="http://inpursuitofjesus.net/"><em>In Pursuit of Jesus</em></a>, a travel documentary series in which he journeys across five continents exploring what he can learn about Jesus through others. Rasool is passionate about traveling, music, cooking and eating, and inspiring people to live in light of eternity. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Tamica, and their daughter Ire’Ana.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“In the time that I need my sense of morality the most, that’s when I’m less likely to be moral because of my own sin nature.”</li> <li>“The main barrier to me ever experiencing the grace and mercy of God was my own pride.”</li> <li>“It’s only when I recognize that I don’t have all the answers is when I begin to ask the questions and listen to other people.”</li> <li>“Always look out for those who are marginalized around you because those are the ones that you can learn the most from because they’re often not heard. And you maybe haven’t been exposed to really listening to their perspectives.”</li> <li>“Throughout the Scriptures you see God intentionally investing Himself in the margins.”</li> <li>“God’s the only one rightfully in the center. He invites people in the center with Him.”</li> <li>“God will take and ordain and sanctify and bless whatever is in your hand in order for you to do the next thing to bring those in the margins into the center.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li>Matthew 11:15: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”</li> <li>Genesis 16–21: The Story of Hagar</li> <li>Exodus</li> <li>Philippians 2</li> <li>Matthew 22:34–40</li> <li>Genesis 1:26–27</li> <li>Romans 5</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li><em>God Loves Her</em> devotional: <a href="https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/god-loves-her.html" rel="noopener">https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/god-loves-her.html</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Rasool’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rasoolb/" rel="noopener">rasoolb</a></li> <li><em>Discover the Word</em> podcast: <a href="https://discovertheword.org/" rel="noopener">https://discovertheword.org/</a></li> <li><em>In Pursuit of Jesus</em> video series: <a href="https://inpursuitofjesus.net/" rel="noopener">https://inpursuitofjesus.net/</a></li> <li><em>Where Ya From?</em> podcast: <a href="https://whereyafrom.org/" rel="noopener">https://whereyafrom.org/</a></li> </ul>]]>

On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy talk to Rasool Berry about where he is from and how that shapes where he is now.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Rasool Berry serves as teaching pastor at The Bridge Church in Brooklyn, New York. He also is the Director of Partnerships &amp; Content Development with Our Daily Bread Ministries. He hosts the <a href="http://whereyafrom.org/" rel="noopener"><em>Where Ya From?</em></a> podcast, which uses stories to connect us to people applying their faith for social change. He also was the host of <a href="http://inpursuitofjesus.net/"><em>In Pursuit of Jesus</em></a>, a travel documentary series in which he journeys across five continents exploring what he can learn about Jesus through others. Rasool is passionate about traveling, music, cooking and eating, and inspiring people to live in light of eternity. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Tamica, and their daughter Ire’Ana.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“In the time that I need my sense of morality the most, that’s when I’m less likely to be moral because of my own sin nature.”</li> <li>“The main barrier to me ever experiencing the grace and mercy of God was my own pride.”</li> <li>“It’s only when I recognize that I don’t have all the answers is when I begin to ask the questions and listen to other people.”</li> <li>“Always look out for those who are marginalized around you because those are the ones that you can learn the most from because they’re often not heard. And you maybe haven’t been exposed to really listening to their perspectives.”</li> <li>“Throughout the Scriptures you see God intentionally investing Himself in the margins.”</li> <li>“God’s the only one rightfully in the center. He invites people in the center with Him.”</li> <li>“God will take and ordain and sanctify and bless whatever is in your hand in order for you to do the next thing to bring those in the margins into the center.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li>Matthew 11:15: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”</li> <li>Genesis 16–21: The Story of Hagar</li> <li>Exodus</li> <li>Philippians 2</li> <li>Matthew 22:34–40</li> <li>Genesis 1:26–27</li> <li>Romans 5</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li><em>God Loves Her</em> devotional: <a href="https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/god-loves-her.html" rel="noopener">https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org/god-loves-her.html</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Rasool’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rasoolb/" rel="noopener">rasoolb</a></li> <li><em>Discover the Word</em> podcast: <a href="https://discovertheword.org/" rel="noopener">https://discovertheword.org/</a></li> <li><em>In Pursuit of Jesus</em> video series: <a href="https://inpursuitofjesus.net/" rel="noopener">https://inpursuitofjesus.net/</a></li> <li><em>Where Ya From?</em> podcast: <a href="https://whereyafrom.org/" rel="noopener">https://whereyafrom.org/</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>The word “orphan” may feel like a title that doesn’t fit for most of us, but have you ever felt alone? Left out? Like you don’t belong? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy are joined by Lorilee Craker to talk about the orphan inside us all.

        <![CDATA[<p>In our culture today, it’s normal to disagree with people and “cancel” them by refusing to talk to them or even trying to understand their viewpoints on various issues. But did you know that “cancel culture” contradicts what the Bible says? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn interview Alexandra Kuykendall about what it means to actually love your neighbor the way Jesus did, even when you disagree.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Alexandra Kuykendall encourages the church to engage God’s world in the tension and intersection of heartache and hope. Her most recent book, <em>Seeking Out Goodness: Finding the True and Beautiful All around You</em> offers a roadmap for how to look for and find echoes of God’s goodness. Alex is the cofounder of <a href="http://theopendoorsisterhood.com/"><em>The Open Door Sisterhood</em></a>, a community of women working to be world changers for good right where they are. She cohosts a podcast and retreat under the same name. A trusted voice for Christian women, Alex has been a guest on <em>Good Morning America</em>, Focus on the Family’s Daily Broadcast, and Moody Radio.

        <![CDATA[<p>In our culture today, it’s normal to disagree with people and “cancel” them by refusing to talk to them or even trying to understand their viewpoints on various issues. But did you know that “cancel culture” contradicts what the Bible says? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn interview Alexandra Kuykendall about what it means to actually love your neighbor the way Jesus did, even when you disagree.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Alexandra Kuykendall encourages the church to engage God’s world in the tension and intersection of heartache and hope. Her most recent book, <em>Seeking Out Goodness: Finding the True and Beautiful All around You</em> offers a roadmap for how to look for and find echoes of God’s goodness. Alex is the cofounder of <a href="http://theopendoorsisterhood.com/"><em>The Open Door Sisterhood</em></a>, a community of women working to be world changers for good right where they are. She cohosts a podcast and retreat under the same name. A trusted voice for Christian women, Alex has been a guest on <em>Good Morning America</em>, Focus on the Family’s Daily Broadcast, and Moody Radio. She lives in downtown Denver, Colorado, with her husband Derek and their four daughters.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“The gospel is still true. And God is still good. And we are not the first people to say ‘Where are we?’ and ‘What is happening in the world?’ This has been true throughout history. Before Jesus came, people were wondering that.

        <![CDATA[<p>Church is meant to be a safe place for all people to gather and heal within the community. However, the world is filled with sin that hurts us, even in places that are meant to be safe. Dr. Amanda Benckhuysen joins Elisa Morgan on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em> to talk about abuse within the church and ways that people can be helped.</p> <p> This episode may be triggering for some listeners. If you or someone you know is being abused please visit <a href="https://www.thehotline.org/">https://www.thehotline.org/</a> or call 1-800-799-7233.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Dr. Amanda Benckhuysen is the author of <em>The Gospel According to Eve</em> and <em>Immigrants, the Bible, and You.</em> She is also a scholar, speaker, teacher, wife, mother, and follower of Jesus. She currently serves as the director of Safe Church Ministry for the Christian Reformed Church in North America after having taught the Old Testament while mentoring seminary students for more than 15 years.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“There are things in the Christian tradition, practice, and cultures that have been such huge stumbling blocks to the gospel, and they shouldn’t be because they’re not actually of God. Abuse is one of them.”</li> <li>“A lot of them were coming to seminary in some ways to find healing, but also to channel their brokenness in a way that would redeem it, to allow God to redeem their brokenness so that God could use it to bring healing to others.”</li> <li>“Women who were clearly so gifted, so made in God’s image. People of dignity and value and worth.”</li> <li>“When trust and loyalty run high, but accountability runs low, it’s like the perfect situation for abuse.”</li> <li>“The Department of Justice says one in three women experience sexual abuse at some point in their life. And one in six men. This is a human issue. It affects both women and men.”</li> <li>If a child is being abused, most states legally require it to be reported to Child Protective Services. In the case of ministry leaders, it depends on the denomination. Even with confidentiality, some ministry leaders are required to report after letting minors know up front.”</li> <li>“If someone reports abuse and it’s responded to with the same sense of rejection or the same sense of being made to feel dismissed, small, or less than [the same response as the abuse], then it’s a trigger. And all the emotions associated with that initial abuse come to the surface again.”</li> <li>“Part of what God longs for in Christian community is that it would be a safe place for people to find healing.”</li> <li>“If you’ve slipped into abusing, there is hope for you too.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><em>Safe Church Ministry: <a href="https://www.crcna.org/SafeChurch">https://www.crcna.org/SafeChurch</a></em></li> <li>Dr. Amanda Benckhuysen’s books: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Amanda-W.-Benckhuysen/e/B085M3DP8T?ref_=dbs_p_pbk_r00_abau_000000"> https://www.amazon.com/Amanda-W.-Benckhuysen/e/B085M3DP8T?ref_=dbs_p_pbk_r00_abau_000000</a></li> <li>Domestic Violence Hotline: <a href="https://www.thehotline.org/">https://www.thehotline.org/</a> or call 1-800-799-7233</li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> newsletter sign-up: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/signup" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/signup</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes! <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>When we look at our friend groups, do we see people that look and act just like us or is there a diverse group of people around us? Are we challenged by the conversations we have with them? Or are we always within our own comfort zones? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa talk to Vivian Mabuni, who encourages us to learn from other cultures and situations that we may not have experience with. Vivian believes in diverse communities where we can have open conversations with people who aren’t just like us, even if it’s uncomfortable.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Vivian Mabuni is a national speaker, author, Bible teacher, and the founder and host of <em>Someday Is Here</em>, a podcast for Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI).

She loves drinking coffee with her husband of 30 years, Darrin, and marveling at their three adult kids.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“In a corporate setting or a church leadership setting, it’s easy to overlook an Asian and think, ‘Oh they’re not assertive’ or ‘they don’t really have an opinion’ or ‘they’re not expressive or aggressive’ or the kinds of things that we think of as a leader. But in other cultures we’re absolutely acting with integrity to who we are and the greater body of Christ, or our company actually is enhanced with the contribution of people that come from different backgrounds.”</li> <li>“We can all gift each other with so many different perspectives of how God has made and wired us.”</li> <li>“The issues of the world hit differently because we have real relationships with real people.”</li> <li>“The recognition of not feeling seen or heard or known is an indicator maybe to do something.”</li> <li>“Unity is not uniformity.

        <![CDATA[<p>Sometimes women are treated as second-class citizens within the church. If they aren’t encouraged to study Scripture, teach about it, or go to seminary, they often feel overlooked in comparison to the men.

        <![CDATA[<p>Do you feel a disconnect between your faith and your everyday life? Does it sometimes feel like there is no purpose in the mundane things we do over and over again like folding clothes or washing dishes? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Daniel Ryan Day shares how to connect our faith with our everyday real life, including the mundane activities we may sometimes feel are purposeless. </p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Daniel Ryan Day is the author of <em>What’s Next: Your Dream Job, God’s Call, and a Life That Sets You Free</em>. He’s also a content producer and writer for Reclaim Today, a cohost for Our Daily Bread Ministries’ <em>Discover the Word</em> podcast, and a producer for the <em>Where Ya From?</em> and <em>God Hears Her</em> podcasts. Daniel holds a master’s degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, and is an ordained minister in the Anglican Church in North America. He is married to his high school sweetheart and has three kiddos.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“My story can be boiled down to growing up in a very tight Christian bubble but then having experiences that made me realize that a tight Christian bubble was not relating to the world in a way that made sense for the world that we live in.”</li> <li>“This faith in Jesus, if it’s real, has gotta impact how we interact with orphans, it’s got to make a difference in these bigger issues.”</li> <li>“How does this faith impact real life?”</li> <li>“So many things I learned in that experience [of giving up things], so hence the ten days without speech to represent those who don’t have a voice, or who have a voice but that it’s not listened to. Ten days without legs for those affected by disabilities that live in our world and who are often overlooked. Ten days without furniture for those who live in homeless settings and don’t have a home or don’t have furniture.”</li> <li>“I was still struggling with those questions of how does faith work in real life? Where do they meet? And specifically, as it relates to my calling and my job in the world.”</li> <li>“The use of the word ‘calling’ in the Scriptures, most often refers to callings like seeking justice, love mercy, walking humbly with God. So humility or giving thanks in all circumstances.”</li> <li>“The decade of the 20s and 30s are the real transformational decades for us really being shaped from how we grew up, what we thought we were going to be, who we thought we were going to be, into discovering the reality of us.”</li> <li>[On the topic of a Rwandan Pastor who walked the hills of his village to meet with people] “He’s just visiting with people. So meeting needs, his sermons, all of that comes from real relationships with people.”</li> <li>“It’s with people that real ministry happens.”</li> <li>“In the biblical story we get a picture of being colaborers with God. We’re not His servants, we’re not His slaves, we’re in relationship with Him. Invited into everything that we do being a part of this relationship with Him. And so, I think first and foremost above anything else, that is our purpose, that’s our identity, that’s our calling.”</li> <li>“God is at work. And God is going to accomplish His work, regardless of what role we play in it. So for us, where it actually begins is in quiet solitude time.”</li> <li>“Even in those mundane moments we can realize that God has us where He wants us to be.”</li> <li>Prayer for Today: “Creator God, who took what was formless and void and gave it shape and meaning, the One who filled emptiness with beauty and gave all creatures their purpose [including us]. Reclaim today in these small, seemingly insignificant moments. Help me discover meaning in the mundane. Ordain the very ordinariness of these tasks or my current lack of them for your glory, the good of the world, and my good.

        <![CDATA[<p>At Christmastime, we bring out the nativity sets to decorate our homes and we talk about Jesus as a baby . . . but do we really grasp the idea of what that looked like in that time and culture? Not to mention the fact that God humbled Himself to become human. On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn talk about the story of Jesus, focusing on the reality of His conception, birth, and being a baby. They also focus on what it meant for His mother Mary and how this birth changed everything then, just like it does today. Join us.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“The God of the universe scrunched Himself into the womb of a woman and began to grow.”</li> <li>“He’s my protector. He’s my guide, my guardian . . . and so for me to imagine Him in a fragile state is just kind of a weird concept in my mind.”</li> <li>The purpose of women during the New Testament period was to have babies.</li> <li>“30–35% of newborns didn’t survive their first month [in New Testament times].” </li> <li>“Why are we so uncomfortable imagining God to be weak, or being fragile as a child?”</li> <li>“We are so black and white that we only see God as a baby, or as the resurrected Christ.”</li> <li>“Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Luke 18:17 NIV</li> <li>“We have the tendency to be so self-aware, but not Christ-aware.”</li> <li>“His expression of vulnerability begins in the womb and at birth and as baby Jesus. And then we watch His public ministry when truly He is God and He could speak a word and blow fire over all of the naysayers. But He instead humbles Himself to death on a cross.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Scripture: </p> <p>John 1:14</p> <p>Matthew 1:23</p> <p>Luke 1:39-45</p> <p>Philippians 2:5</p> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1640700048/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=godhearsher-20&amp;linkId=fc778eb4bbe8394cedf9730378b0c57a&amp;language=en_US"> <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em></a> on Amazon.</li> <li>Get your copy of <em>God Hears Her: A Joyful Christmas</em>: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/joyfulchristmas">https://www.godhearsher.org/joyfulchristmas</a></li> <li>Listen to the series <em>When God Was a Child</em> on <em>Discover the Word:</em> <a href="https://discovertheword.org/series/when-god-was-a-child/"> https://discovertheword.org/series/when-god-was-a-child/</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">@elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">@eryneddy</a></li> </ul>]]>

He’s my guide, my guardian . . . and so for me to imagine Him in a fragile state is just kind of a weird concept in my mind.”</li> <li>The purpose of women during the New Testament period was to have babies.</li> <li>“30–35% of newborns didn’t survive their first month [in New Testament times].” </li> <li>“Why are we so uncomfortable imagining God to be weak, or being fragile as a child?”</li> <li>“We are so black and white that we only see God as a baby, or as the resurrected Christ.”</li> <li>“Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Luke 18:17 NIV</li> <li>“We have the tendency to be so self-aware, but not Christ-aware.”</li> <li>“His expression of vulnerability begins in the womb and at birth and as baby Jesus. And then we watch His public ministry when truly He is God and He could speak a word and blow fire over all of the naysayers. But He instead humbles Himself to death on a cross.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Scripture: </p> <p>John 1:14</p> <p>Matthew 1:23</p> <p>Luke 1:39-45</p> <p>Philippians 2:5</p> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1640700048/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=sl1&amp;tag=godhearsher-20&amp;linkId=fc778eb4bbe8394cedf9730378b0c57a&amp;language=en_US"> <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em></a> on Amazon.</li> <li>Get your copy of <em>God Hears Her: A Joyful Christmas</em>: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/joyfulchristmas">https://www.godhearsher.org/joyfulchristmas</a></li> <li>Listen to the series <em>When God Was a Child</em> on <em>Discover the Word:</em> <a href="https://discovertheword.org/series/when-god-was-a-child/"> https://discovertheword.org/series/when-god-was-a-child/</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">@elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">@eryneddy</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>We often talk about the topic of joy with an emphasis that we “choose joy” or “find joy.” But what does that actually mean? Are those phrases true? Or do phrases like “choose joy” put pressure on people to somehow become happy in the midst of rather unjoyful circumstances? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn talk with Mary Jo Clark about what life looks like when “choosing joy” feels impossible.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>After years of working in bakeries, coffee shops, and food trucks, Mary Jo Clark returned to her love of audio production and sharing stories.

Her cookies and cupcakes are described by many as “legendary.” She and her husband, Russ, are expecting their first child.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“As someone that struggles with depression and anxiety, I am not someone who is an innately happy person.”</li> <li>“What if I struggle with depression . . . am I supposed to suppress those feelings down and pretend I am happy?”</li> <li>“It wasn’t a pity party.

        <![CDATA[<p>How do you experience hope? Maybe you’re hopeful for something? Or you have a strong hope in who God says He is? Or maybe you feel hopeless and are starting to wonder what hope even is! On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa talk to Joyce Dinkins, a woman that comes from a generation of people hoping for better circumstances.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had a moment in your life where you needed to give something fully to God? The word <em>surrender</em> may feel a little overwhelming, but Dr. Debbye Turner Bell is a great example of what can happen when we fully submit ourselves to God’s best and accomplish something we didn’t feel we were capable of doing. Join Eryn and Elisa on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em> as they revisit their conversation with Debbye Turner Bell and her journey of pursuing a courageous faith.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Dr. Debbye Turner Bell is a veterinarian, broadcast journalist, motivational speaker, workshop facilitator, corporate trainer, and Miss America 1990.

Dr. Debbye Turner Bell lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her husband, Gerald, and daughter Lynlee.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: All Quotes by Debbye</p> <ul> <li>“That [prayer of surrender] is when my goals became subservient to God’s goals, will, and His purpose for my life.”</li> <li>“It is a matter of deciding, ‘God, I believe you no matter what the circumstances look like.’”</li> <li>“That is what I seek to get to: that if God Himself smite me, it won’t shake my faith in Him.”</li> <li>“God proves Himself to us every day. And if we will just take the time to notice His faithfulness in our lives, then it creates in us a reservoir of His work in our life.”</li> <li>“Every time that God performed a miracle in the Old Testament, an altar was built. The whole purpose of the altar was to remember what God had done.”</li> <li>“What I know about God and what I feel in the moment can be such a disconnect with me.”</li> <li>“When we don’t know what God’s Word says about who we are and our identity and our authority, then we live below our privileges.” </li> <li>“Faith is a decision, not a feeling.”</li> <li>“Surrender is a choice, not a default.”</li> <li>“Surrender takes strength.”</li> <li>“Our identity is not what happened to us.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever felt disconnected from your partner, spouse, or someone you love? Maybe your schedules are getting busier everyday? Or do your kids distract you from paying attention to the other person? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa talk with Beth and Todd Guckenberger, a married couple who decided years ago to set aside two hours a night to work on growing their marriage.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guests:</p> <p>Beth and Todd met at the age of seventeen in a Young Life Bible study.  They experienced several international short-term mission trips together, and in the mid-nineties they were deeply moved by orphaned children they met in Mexico. In 1997, with a dream, a savings account, and each other, they packed and drove to Monterrey, Mexico, where they lived for fifteen years. Beth and Todd are the parents of eleven children—a family they’ve formed through biological, foster, and adoptive children, and a family who reminds them everyday to stay in the fight until every child is known and loved.</p> <p>They lead Back2Back Ministries, an international orphan care organization with nine locations around the world. The combined 350 staff work relentlessly to find new and creative solutions to the challenges facing vulnerable children and their families.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“Anyone can have a co-missional marriage.”</li> <li>“Sometimes you can make your family life be your exclusive mission.”</li> <li>“We are going to spend two hours a day only wearing that hat of spouse.”</li> <li>“It [the two hours] became the deepest breath of our day.”</li> <li>“The calling felt like a magnet, you could feel the resistance.”</li> <li>“Expectations are like premeditated resentments.”</li> <li>“Set aside time (any amount) where you are going to put away phones, don’t do the dishes, don’t help the kids, and spend time just the two of you.”</li> <li>“When you go through hard things together, it creates an intimate connection.”</li> <li>“Part of being co-missional is understanding that my agenda is not the <em>most</em> important.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show : </p> <ul> <li>If you or someone you know suspects any human trafficking activity, please call the National Human Trafficking hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text “HELP” to 233-733.

        <![CDATA[<p>(Warning: Sensitive and potentially triggering content) On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa talk about a topic that most people don’t want to believe exists, even if they know it does: human trafficking. While we don’t want to believe that it’s happening around us, we need to recognize that it is and do whatever we can to spread awareness and protect the most vulnerable. Heather McGannon, who is the West Michigan Program Coordinator at the Michigan Abolitionist Project, joins Eryn and Elisa to discuss the truth about human trafficking.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Heather McGannon is the West Michigan Program Coordinator at the Michigan Abolitionist Project (MAP), an organization passionate about working to prevent and end human trafficking in Michigan and beyond through education and collaboration.

        <![CDATA[<p>We’ve all felt lonely at one point or another in our lives. In many different situations or areas of our lives we may feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness. On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, hosts Eryn Eddy and Elisa Morgan talk about different types of loneliness and even share their own stories of feeling lonely. </p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I think you can be surrounded by people and affirmation and celebration and all of that and still feel lonely.” </li> <li>“A recent survey found that almost half of Americans feel alone. Nearly 50% feel lonely, left-out, isolated, or lack companionship. The number of friends people report today is one or none, whereas 20 years ago people could name on average four close relationships.”</li> <li>Six Types of Loneliness according to Elisa: <ul> <li>Emotional: feeling like nobody really loves you</li> <li>Relational: feeling like nobody really knows the real you</li> <li>Vocational: feeling like life has no meaning and no one really cares if you’re here or not</li> <li>Spiritual: feeling literally alone and/or apart or cut off from God</li> <li>Physical: no one to share the “alone” with; having to do things alone</li> <li>Situational: experience of not being included</li> </ul> </li> <li>“God gives an affirmation towards each of those kinds of loneliness.”</li> <li>Affirmations: <ul> <li>Emotional: God gives a promise that He loves us.</li> <li>Relational: God gives His perception. He says, “I know you because I made you.”</li> <li>Vocational: God gives a purpose. He says, “I know the plans I have for you.”</li> <li>Spiritual: God gives His presence. He says, “I will be with you.”</li> <li>Physical: God gives His provision. He says, “I will provide for you.”</li> <li>Situational: God gives His perspective. He says, “I’ll use all things for your good and My purposes.”</li> </ul> </li> <li>“Lament your loneliness, feel it.”</li> <li>“In feeling lonely, we have an opportunity to experience vulnerability in something we would not normally do.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order Elisa Morgan's book <em>You Are Not Alone: Six Affirmations From a Loving God</em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/3yBiXx6">https://amzn.to/3yBiXx6</a> </li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Genesis 1, 2, and 3--Story of Hannah, Moses, Jeremiah, Elijah, Jesus, David, and Esther</li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Who do you think of when you hear the word <em>moxie</em>? Who do you know that is courageous and determined? A close friend? Your mom? A mentor? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa talk with Julie Richardson, a woman who learned courage and determination from her mom and from facing unforeseen personal struggles.</p> <p> </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Julie Richardson has experienced God’s faithfulness through many life challenges including divorce, infertility, and the loss of loved ones. She has led women’s ministries in a variety of churches and parachurch ministries over the last 25 years, and one of her greatest joys is to mentor women, helping them discover the vibrant life that Christ offers.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever thought about how much time you spend on technology? How often do you pick up your phone throughout the day? Do you find yourself using it as a constant escape? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn talk to Amy Crouch about being wise with how much time we spend on technology. Listen for some great practical advice from Amy.</p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Amy Crouch is the author of <em>My Tech-Wise Life</em> and attends Cornell University studying linguistics, English, and anything else she can fit into her schedule. Her book is a follow-up to her father’s book, <em>The Tech-Wise Family</em> by Andy Crouch, and she describes what it’s like to grow up in a family that takes a disciplined approach to technology as well as offers helpful hints for others. Amy loves to cook, climb mountains, and chat about books.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“We took a sabbath once a week from work, but also screens.”</li> <li>“My parents were always really intentional in saying to me, ‘This is why we have made these shared commitments.’”</li> <li>“Real life has to be difficult. If it is not difficult, it’s not real life.”</li> <li>“Another question to ask ourselves is ‘What am I escaping, and why?’”</li> <li>“Ask yourself, Is social media making it harder for you to be content?”</li> <li>“Every time I survive distraction, I am reminded that it doesn’t have power over me.”</li> <li>“Technology is really good at shaping our habits.”</li> <li>Baby steps: Don’t beat yourself up, start and end your days without screens, leave your phone out of the bedroom, find something to take the place of technology.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/how-to-live-a-tech-wise-life"> Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order <em>My Tech-Wise Life</em> on Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/3xVCyaZ">https://amzn.to/3xVCyaZ</a> </li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>How does our culture define the perfect woman? When you picture her, what does she look like? How does she act? And the question we all ask ourselves: how do we measure up? Today on <em>God Hears Her</em>, we’re talking with gospel singer, fashion designer, and author Kierra Sheard about what it means to embrace and love yourself as you are. Join Eryn and Elisa as they ask Kierra about the inspiration behind her book <em>Big, Bold, and Beautiful: Owning the Woman God Created You to Be.</em></p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Kierra Sheard is an American gospel singer, songwriter, fashion designer, actress, entrepreneur, author, and creative director. Based in Detroit, Michigan, Kierra Sheard is no stranger to breaking new ground. This young dynamo grew up with two gospel music barrier-breakers as role models: mother Karen Clark Sheard,  a member of legendary group the Clark Sisters, and grandmother Dr. Mattie Moss Clark, a gospel music legend. Now the GRAMMY® and Stellar Award-winning artist is back with her first musical project in five years, <em>Kierra.</em></p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“I accept heaven’s way of beauty, because the world’s view of beauty keeps changing.”</li> <li>“I was still chasing what the other woman had. <em>She</em> has that. That ain’t for you to have!”</li> <li>“Not every seat or every ride is for you.”</li> <li>“I may not be their cup of tea, but I am <em>a</em> cup of tea.”</li> <li>“Self-care is you being selective with your squad/village.”</li> <li>“God didn’t design us on the earth to do it all alone.”</li> <li>“God doesn’t always make the old go away. He transforms who we have been into who we already are in Him.”</li> <li>“If you see the truth, acknowledge and accept the truth. Don’t try to make [something else] work.”</li> <li>“What the world sees as a negative, God turns into a positive.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/big-bold-and-beautiful" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order Kierra’s book <em>Big, Bold, Beautiful: Owning the Woman God Created You to Be</em>.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/2X1EPF4" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/2X1EPF4</a></li> <li>Check out Kierra Sheard’s new album, <em>Kierra</em>: <a href="https://amzn.to/3jntp60">https://amzn.to/3jntp60</a></li> <li>Kierra’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kierrasheard/" rel="noopener">kierrasheard</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>How many of us deal with depression, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts, but don’t ever talk about it? In places where we should feel safe, we often fear judgment or diagnosing where our thoughts may be coming from. Not to mention the stigma that comes when we begin discussing mental health. On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa talk with Sarah J. Robinson about mental health and her journey of understanding her own depression.</p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Sarah J. Robinson once believed her lifelong battle with depression made her a bad Christian. And yet, through her years of shame, self-harm, and suicide attempts, Sarah learned that God is present in our deepest darkness. Sarah is now an author and speaker who helps others discover that mental illness doesn’t disqualify them from living rich, beautiful lives in Christ. Drawing from a decade of ministry experience and the mental health field, Sarah helps readers fight for wholeness and cultivate joy. She lives in Nashville with her husband.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“I didn’t know my thoughts were not what everyone else was thinking.”</li> <li>“The common misconception is that depression is sadness.”</li> <li>There is a difference between intrusive thoughts and suicidal thoughts/tendencies.</li> <li>“We sort of overlooked passages in Scripture where God walked through suffering with people.”</li> <li>“There is that honeymoon phase of faith where everything is new and awesome, but I quickly learned that I couldn’t just ‘choose joy.’”</li> <li>“Nothing helped because I had an illness that needed to be treated, not a lack of prayer or a lack of faith.”</li> <li>“I remember journaling and thinking, <em>You deserve more than this, God. You are perfect and deserve more than this mess</em>.”</li> <li>“People mean well, but they are ill-informed or ill-equipped.” </li> <li>“People who really wanted to love me well are the people that said the most hurtful things.”</li> <li>“God choosing to take the long road with me has revealed His kindness and His character in a way I would not trade for anything.”</li> <li>Discovering joy vs. choosing joy.</li> <li>“You are worth everything it takes to get better.” </li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/living-with-depression" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order Sarah’s book <em>I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die: Finding Hope in the Darkness of Depression:</em> <a href="https://amzn.to/3CpzqrC" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/3CpzqrC</a></li> <li>Sarah’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahjrbnsn/" rel="noopener">sarahjrbnsn</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Remember, if you or someone you love is hurting from suicidal thoughts or tendencies, you can dial the suicide hotline at 800-273-8255 or chat with someone on <a href="https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/" rel="noopener">suicidepreventionlifeline.org</a>.

        <![CDATA[<p>How adventurous is your spirit? Do you desire to move to a faraway land? Maybe you’d love to sail the seas and raise your family on an island? Or live off-the-grid like a pioneer in a remote part of a mountainous wilderness? Or maybe you prefer to live vicariously through other people’s adventures? This episode of <em>God Hears Her</em> is a blessing to all adventurous souls. Leslie Leyland Fields joins Elisa and Eryn to talk all about faith, the wonder years, and adventure.</p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>In addition to being a fisherwoman in Alaska, Leslie Leyland Fields is also a teacher, speaker, and author. One of her passions is to teach the craft and art of spiritual memoir, and many of her students have gone on to publish their own manuscripts. She leads The Harvester Island Writers’ Workshop and Food and Faith workshops on her family’s island in Alaska. Leslie has also helped create The Wonder Years, gatherings that bring women together to equip them to make the second half of life the best half.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“I can turn back and bless some of those moments, because I can look back and see how God used it for good.”</li> <li>“Our value is not based on our physical capabilities or our mental capabilities. Our value is simply based on who we are: loved by God.”</li> <li>“God has just made it so clear that He is always with us.”</li> <li>“In these moments when we come face to face with death, Jesus is there.”</li> <li>“I think God calls us to something bigger and so much more than that [the constant need to be safe].”</li> <li>“Do hard things with your kids. Live a wild adventure with your kids and Jesus.”</li> <li>“I think God has an incredible chapter for women who are at this point in their lives [40+].”</li> <li>“God wants you to use this life experience. He doesn’t want you to retire it.”</li> <li>“Letting go is letting go of what we think we should do next and living in that wonder.”</li> <li>“It is the Word of God that has kept me alive.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/the-adventure-of-faith"> Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order Leslie’s book <em>Your Story Matters: Finding, Writing and Living the Truth of Your Life</em> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Your-Story-Matters-Finding-Writing/dp/1641582197"> https://www.amazon.com/Your-Story-Matters-Finding-Writing/dp/1641582197</a></li> <li>Leslie’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/leslie.leyland.fields/">leslie.leyland.fields</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>How many times do we feel ragged and burned out? Broken and basically just a hot mess? Yet we believe we need to suck it up and show up in front of God with a smile plastered on our faces like everything is hunky-dory? In this “best of” episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa revisit their conversation with Ellie Holcomb. Ellie walks us through her take on grit, grounding ourselves in God’s truth, and showing up as we are.</p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Ellie Holcomb, a Nashville native, began her musical career by touring the country with her husband. After eight years, and with the birth of their daughter, Ellie opted to step out of the role of heavy touring. From that space came her debut solo album, <em>As Sure As The Sun</em>, which charted at no. 1 on the iTunes Christian chart and helped deem Holcomb the “Best New Artist” at the 2014 Dove Awards. She has released multiple albums since then and also a best-selling book. Ellie, her husband, and their three children live and make music in Nashville.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“Even growing up in this amazing, vibrant community, I gathered that the gospel was all about me being good enough and loving God and loving people enough. And that is all good and well, but that’s not really the gospel.”</li> <li>“The gospel is not about making bad people good people. It’s about making dead people alive people.”</li> <li>“I didn’t know it was okay to not be okay.”</li> <li>“The church isn’t meant to be a trophy room. It’s supposed to be a hospital and a table that everyone is welcome to.”</li> <li>“I know that God is a healer . . . but I was too scared to give Him my broken heart.”</li> <li>“God’s Word gave us solid ground to stand on when the shame storm starts to roll in.”</li> <li>“He started changing us, and it didn’t change our circumstances, but it started changing us from the inside out.”</li> <li>“I know God is real from the sorrow in my life.”</li> <li>“God is with you. He can handle your anger, and He can handle your hurt. He can hold it all.”</li> <li>“He walked out of a grave.

        <![CDATA[<p>We all experience life-defining moments. Some of those moments can be good and life-changing while other moments are not so good. What happens when we allow those not-so-good moments to negatively define our identities? In this “best of” episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn revisit their conversation with speaker and best-selling author Laura Smith as she shares ways in which we can learn to overcome the lies that we’ve believed and focus on God’s life-changing and freeing truth.</p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Laura Smith is an avid storyteller through her books, blog posts, and public speaking. Her recent book <em>How Sweet the Sound</em> focuses on the beauty and truth that come from Scripture-inspired hymns. Along with being a wife and mom, Laura’s hope is to use her writing and public speaking to help others discover the identity that God has instilled in each of us.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I think it’s so interesting how, you know, you can grow up thinking one way about your family life, and then you step into this awareness of what it really is.”</li> <li>“He loves us for exactly who we are, because He created us in His image—because He created <em>us</em>!”          </li> <li>“In college, I had my Bible. I would read it every day, then I would put it under my pillow and go do whatever the heck I wanted. I believed in God, and I loved him, but I didn’t live like it.”</li> <li>“It was some sort of lie that I started to believe when I was younger, that if I do these things, then ‘this’ will make ‘this’ true.”</li> <li>“I am trying to honor the fact that forgiveness and trust are not the same thing.”</li> <li>“I can forgive [my dad] and be kind to him, but I don’t have to trust him and let him into my safe spaces.”</li> <li>“We tend to think that when we come to know Jesus that everything is just ‘BING’ and resolved and wrapped up in this box with a pretty bow on it. And real life is often: God promises and does meet the desires of our hearts. Sometimes it’s now, sometimes it’s  later, sometimes it’s not really in this lifetime.”</li> <li>Three resounding themes: God is almighty. He loves us unconditionally. He will never leave us.</li> <li>“So many of us want to throw out the pain in our lives; the hardness of our lives; the embarrassing, depleting, revealing in our lives; and think, ‘Okay, now God can come in, and now He can do something with me.’”</li> <li>“God planted good in the soil of your pain.”</li> <li>“We have to really focus on who we are listening to for our identity.”</li> <li>Three ways to stay in the truth that God created me as a masterpiece: Read the Bible every day; pray every day “Who do you see me as?”; hang out with core people you can trust and confide in.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-when-we-feel-we-are-not-enough"> Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Order Laura Smith’s book <em>How Sweet the Sound</em>: <a href="https://amzn.to/36wMRqp">https://amzn.to/36wMRqp</a> </li> <li>Laura's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurasmithauthor/">laurasmithauthor</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Ephesians 2:10 NIV “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202%3A10&amp;version=NIV">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202%3A10&amp;version=NIV</a></li> </ul>]]>

What happens when we allow those not-so-good moments to negatively define our identities? In this “best of” episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn revisit their conversation with speaker and best-selling author Laura Smith as she shares ways in which we can learn to overcome the lies that we’ve believed and focus on God’s life-changing and freeing truth.</p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Laura Smith is an avid storyteller through her books, blog posts, and public speaking. Her recent book <em>How Sweet the Sound</em> focuses on the beauty and truth that come from Scripture-inspired hymns. Along with being a wife and mom, Laura’s hope is to use her writing and public speaking to help others discover the identity that God has instilled in each of us.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I think it’s so interesting how, you know, you can grow up thinking one way about your family life, and then you step into this awareness of what it really is.”</li> <li>“He loves us for exactly who we are, because He created us in His image—because He created <em>us</em>!”          </li> <li>“In college, I had my Bible. I would read it every day, then I would put it under my pillow and go do whatever the heck I wanted. I believed in God, and I loved him, but I didn’t live like it.”</li> <li>“It was some sort of lie that I started to believe when I was younger, that if I do these things, then ‘this’ will make ‘this’ true.”</li> <li>“I am trying to honor the fact that forgiveness and trust are not the same thing.”</li> <li>“I can forgive [my dad] and be kind to him, but I don’t have to trust him and let him into my safe spaces.”</li> <li>“We tend to think that when we come to know Jesus that everything is just ‘BING’ and resolved and wrapped up in this box with a pretty bow on it. And real life is often: God promises and does meet the desires of our hearts. Sometimes it’s now, sometimes it’s  later, sometimes it’s not really in this lifetime.”</li> <li>Three resounding themes: God is almighty. He loves us unconditionally. He will never leave us.</li> <li>“So many of us want to throw out the pain in our lives; the hardness of our lives; the embarrassing, depleting, revealing in our lives; and think, ‘Okay, now God can come in, and now He can do something with me.’”</li> <li>“God planted good in the soil of your pain.”</li> <li>“We have to really focus on who we are listening to for our identity.”</li> <li>Three ways to stay in the truth that God created me as a masterpiece: Read the Bible every day; pray every day “Who do you see me as?”; hang out with core people you can trust and confide in.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-when-we-feel-we-are-not-enough"> Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Order Laura Smith’s book <em>How Sweet the Sound</em>: <a href="https://amzn.to/36wMRqp">https://amzn.to/36wMRqp</a> </li> <li>Laura's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurasmithauthor/">laurasmithauthor</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Ephesians 2:10 NIV “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202%3A10&amp;version=NIV">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202%3A10&amp;version=NIV</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had a moment in your life where you needed to give something fully to God? The word <em>surrender</em> may feel a little overwhelming, but Dr. Debbye Turner Bell is a great example of what can happen when we fully submit ourselves to God’s best and accomplish something we didn’t feel we were capable of doing. Join Eryn and Elisa on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em> as they speak with Debbye Turner Bell about her journey of pursuing a courageous faith.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our Guest:</p> <p>Dr. Debbye Turner Bell is a veterinarian, broadcast journalist, motivational speaker, workshop facilitator, corporate trainer, and Miss America 1990.

Dr. Turner Bell lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her husband, Gerald, and daughter Lynlee.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: All Quotes by Debbye</p> <ul> <li>“That [prayer of surrender] is when my goals became subservient to God’s goals, will, and His purpose for my life.”</li> <li>“It is a matter of deciding, ‘God, I believe you no matter what the circumstances look like.’”</li> <li>“That is what I seek to get to: that if God Himself smite me, it won’t shake my faith in Him.”</li> <li>“God proves Himself to us every day. And if we will just take the time to notice His faithfulness in our lives, then it creates in us a reservoir of His work in our life.”</li> <li>“Every time that God performed a miracle in the Old Testament, an altar was built. The whole purpose of the altar was to remember what God had done.”</li> <li>“What I know about God and what I feel in the moment can be such a disconnect with me.”</li> <li>“When we don’t know what God’s Word says about who we are and our identity and our authority, then we live below our privileges.” </li> <li>“Faith is a decision, not a feeling.”</li> <li>“Surrender is a choice, not a default.”</li> <li>“Surrender takes strength.”</li> <li>“Our identity is not what happened to us.

        <![CDATA[<p>We all have moments in our past that lead to brokenness. For some, this is a recent past, and for others, childhood trauma continues to shape present reality. What brokenness—or broken people—have you experienced in your life? On this “best of” episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa revisit a conversation with Toni Collier as she reminds all of us that our past doesn’t have to define us. Instead, even our brokenness can be redeemed by God and used for His glory and our good.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Toni Collier is a communicator, host, and consultant. She’s also a voice of <em>Our Daily Bread</em>, and the creator of the blog “Broken Crayons Still Color”—a place for women to be reminded that our past doesn’t define us. Toni is “Texas proud” of her Houston, Texas roots, but currently resides with her family in Atlanta, Georgia where she and her husband Sam are lead pastors at Hillsong Atlanta.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“There is a balance between being imperfect and striving for perfection, and I think the middle is hard to sit in.”</li> <li>“I went through a mindset shift that God wasn’t up there with His finger pointing down at me, but instead was like ‘put me in coach.’”</li> <li>Counseling is <em>not</em> a weakness, it is <em>needed.</em> </li> <li>“Our lives are like bookshelves.”</li> <li>“It is not the brokenness we are lifting up and celebrating, but it is God’s presence and redemption in the brokenness.”</li> <li>“The world has lied to us, and told us we had to be perfect to be used.”</li> <li>“The truth is, God wants to use us in the middle of our mess.”</li> <li>This is the time to walk boldly in our brokenness.</li> <li>“What people don’t know is what comes with exposing those traumas . . . anxiety.”</li> <li>When we discover our brokenness, it takes time to heal. </li> <li>“You are more than enough.”</li> </ul>  <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-how-god-redeems-brokenness"> Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Check out Toni’s Blog: <em>Broken Crayons Still Color: </em><a href="http://brkncrayons.com/"><em>http://brkncrayons.com/</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Toni’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tonijcollier/">tonijcollier</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012%3A9&amp;version=NIV"><em>https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012%3A9&amp;version=NIV</em></a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>When you read the term “toxic people,” who comes to mind? A coworker? A family member? Someone at church? Maybe it’s a group of people who feed off of one another in the worst of ways. What makes someone toxic? What’s the difference between a toxic person and someone who’s broken and needs extra love? How do you know when it’s time to walk away from a toxic person? In this “best of” episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn take us through a previous conversation with Gary Thomas who will be leading us in a discussion of how to recognize and when to walk away from toxic people.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Gary Thomas is the best-selling author of over 20 books including the topic of today’s show: <em>When to Walk Away: Finding Freedom from Toxic People</em>. Gary serves on the teaching team at Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, and has been married to his wife, Lisa, for 35 years. They have three adult children and a granddaughter.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“Walking away isn’t always a statement of failure; it’s a statement of strategy.”</li> <li>If we let toxic people control our thoughts and focus, then we lose sight of the purpose God has for us.</li> <li>“Here’s my voice, here’s my mission” . . .  and don’t let a toxic person distract you from that mission.</li> <li>Women in their fifties will look back at the toxic people from their twenties and laugh at how insignificant those people have become in their lives.</li> <li>“Gaslighting is when somebody makes you feel like you’re crazy when you are speaking the truth.”</li> <li>“When you question your own sanity, they are destroying your foundation.”</li> <li>“All toxic people are difficult, but not all difficult people are toxic.”</li> <li>“Toxic people love to act in a toxic manner. Healthy people will occasionally act in a toxic way.”</li> <li>“Toxic people often use toxic language. . . . They don’t want you to act like a Christian to please God, they are using your desire to please God as a weapon to control you.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-finding-freedom-from-toxic-people" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Order Gary’s book <em>When to Walk Away: Finding Freedom from Toxic People</em> on Amazon. <a href="https://amzn.to/3kt8eyp" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/3kt8eyp</a> </li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>When Violence Comes Home: Help for Victims of Spousal Abuse</em> <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/when-violence-comes-home/" rel="noopener"><em>https://discoveryseries.org/courses/when-violence-comes-home/</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Gary's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/garythomasbooks/" rel="noopener">garythomasbooks</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>John 15:8 NIV “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A8&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A8&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> <li>Mark 11:12–25 Jesus Curses a Fig Tree <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A12-25&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A12-25&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> <li>Matthew 6:33 NIV “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A33&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A33&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> <li>Matthew 7:6 NIV “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs.

They have three adult children and a granddaughter.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“Walking away isn’t always a statement of failure; it’s a statement of strategy.”</li> <li>If we let toxic people control our thoughts and focus, then we lose sight of the purpose God has for us.</li> <li>“Here’s my voice, here’s my mission” . . .  and don’t let a toxic person distract you from that mission.</li> <li>Women in their fifties will look back at the toxic people from their twenties and laugh at how insignificant those people have become in their lives.</li> <li>“Gaslighting is when somebody makes you feel like you’re crazy when you are speaking the truth.”</li> <li>“When you question your own sanity, they are destroying your foundation.”</li> <li>“All toxic people are difficult, but not all difficult people are toxic.”</li> <li>“Toxic people love to act in a toxic manner. Healthy people will occasionally act in a toxic way.”</li> <li>“Toxic people often use toxic language. . . . They don’t want you to act like a Christian to please God, they are using your desire to please God as a weapon to control you.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-finding-freedom-from-toxic-people" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Order Gary’s book <em>When to Walk Away: Finding Freedom from Toxic People</em> on Amazon. <a href="https://amzn.to/3kt8eyp" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/3kt8eyp</a> </li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>When Violence Comes Home: Help for Victims of Spousal Abuse</em> <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/when-violence-comes-home/" rel="noopener"><em>https://discoveryseries.org/courses/when-violence-comes-home/</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> <li>Gary's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/garythomasbooks/" rel="noopener">garythomasbooks</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>John 15:8 NIV “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A8&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A8&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> <li>Mark 11:12–25 Jesus Curses a Fig Tree <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A12-25&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A12-25&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> <li>Matthew 6:33 NIV “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A33&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A33&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> <li>Matthew 7:6 NIV “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs.

        <![CDATA[<p>How do you navigate difficult relationships? How do you handle deep disagreements with people you love? What does it look like to deal with conflict when the person you’re at odds with is a family member or a close friend? On this “best of”  episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa revisit a previous conversation with Patricia Raybon as she shares her story of navigating a complicated relationship and offers practical wisdom for those of us who may find ourselves in a similar situation.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Patricia Raybon is an award-winning author and journalist and a writer for both Our Daily Bread Ministries and DaySpring’s (in)courage Blog.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever found yourself in a place where you felt convicted to stand up for someone being oppressed? Or maybe you’ve felt a strong desire to be an advocate for them but you couldn’t seem to find your voice? On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Tiffany Bluhm joins us to explore the path of finding our voice when we find ourselves in a place of injustice. She’ll also share her own journey of how she found her place in Jesus, justice, and women.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Tiffany Bluhm is the author of <em>She Dreams</em> and <em>Never Alone</em> and their companion Bible studies, as well as her latest book, <a href="https://www.tiffanybluhm.com/podcast/" rel="noopener"><em>Prey Tell</em></a><em>.</em> She is cohost of the <a href="https://www.tiffanybluhm.com/podcast/" rel="noopener"><em>Why Tho podcast</em></a> and leads an engaged audience of followers online.

And how can we right that cultural wrong through a biblical lens?”</li> <li>“This idea of ‘don’t touch the Lord’s anointed’ has been taken out of context to mean that ‘those who are anointed or appointed are immune from dissent.’”</li> <li>“If Jesus held up one woman’s testimony, so must we.”</li> <li>“Fear is a flashing red light of a lack of love.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/jesus-justice-and-women" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order Tiffany’s book <em>Prey Tell</em>: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Prey-Tell-Silence-Women-Everyone/dp/1587434784/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=prey+tell&amp;qid=1620925274&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Prey-Tell-Silence-Women-Everyone/dp/1587434784/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=prey+tell&amp;qid=1620925274&amp;sr=8-1</a></li> <li>Tiffany’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tiffanybluhm/" rel="noopener">tiffanybluhm</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p>]]>

And to bring change.”</li> <li>“Change in gender inequality has only come when women have locked arms together.”</li> <li>“How did we, from the first century to this modern day, twist Jesus’ words and weaponize Scripture to make women feel small? And how can we right that cultural wrong through a biblical lens?”</li> <li>“This idea of ‘don’t touch the Lord’s anointed’ has been taken out of context to mean that ‘those who are anointed or appointed are immune from dissent.’”</li> <li>“If Jesus held up one woman’s testimony, so must we.”</li> <li>“Fear is a flashing red light of a lack of love.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/jesus-justice-and-women" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order Tiffany’s book <em>Prey Tell</em>: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Prey-Tell-Silence-Women-Everyone/dp/1587434784/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=prey+tell&amp;qid=1620925274&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.com/Prey-Tell-Silence-Women-Everyone/dp/1587434784/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=prey+tell&amp;qid=1620925274&amp;sr=8-1</a></li> <li>Tiffany’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tiffanybluhm/" rel="noopener">tiffanybluhm</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Whether it’s a big move, the end of an important relationship, or a child going off to school, we have all experienced transition. On this “best of” episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa share a previous conversation with author Amy Boucher Pye when Amy discusses how God led her through a major life transition of her own.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Amy Boucher Pye is a writer and speaker and an American living in London. She writes devotional thoughts for several publications including <em>Our Daily Bread</em> and is the author of the award-winning <em>Finding Myself in Britain</em> and <em>The Living Cross</em>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>“We as Americans are so isolated about the reality of our global church.”</li> <li> </li> <li>“I knew that my calling was not my work. But, oh boy, when you’re not working you’re like ‘who am I, and where is God?’”</li> <li>“As women . . . we mistake roles for identity, and it gets really confusing. You have to remember who you are, and how God sees you. Realize that my identity is not the role, the role was a place I was invited to serve. ”</li> <li>“During the tender times when stresses and insecurities are high, make sure your relationship with God is very solid.” </li> <li>“Pray and ask God for friends, but then also do your part in that. Sometimes it’s making a plan or joining a crafting group.”</li> <li>“One of the best pieces of advice I have been given is to ‘invest by owing.’ Instead of being the answer woman, invite somebody else to help you. Then somebody else is going to feel valued and necessary; and you will have a beautiful, mutual exchange. ”</li> <li>“Sometimes we have to relinquish something so God can give it back in another way.”</li> <li>Note: Though I walk through _____, God is with me.</li> <li>“All of us are in transition, where things we depend on are stripped away.

        <![CDATA[<p>Feeling unseen, unheard, and invisible is something many of us struggle with. In this week’s “best of” episode of <em>God Hears Her,</em> Eryn and Elisa revisit their conversation with Robert Gelinas as he describes overcoming feelings of being invisible and introduces us to Hagar and the God who sees and hears her and us.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Robert Gelinas deeply desires to see the body of Christ united and empowered to serve the poor and the poor in spirit; the miserable and the marginalized; the disabled and those deemed unimportant. Robert is the pastor of Colorado Community Church and the author of several books including his most recent, <em>Discipled by Jesus</em>. He and his wife, Barbara, live with their six children in the Denver area.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I felt loved, but I did not feel seen or heard in my family. I felt invisible.”</li> <li>“The pastor says, ‘I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,’ and when I went under water it was like time stopped because I didn’t know who my dad was, and this man said Father.”</li> <li>Sometimes we don’t realize there is a big gap in our heart that desires to be known or noticed, until we are. </li> <li>“The people we interact with on this planet can mirror how He views us.”</li> <li>“I don’t think the first woman wondered if she was seen and heard. I don’t think Eve ever woke up before the fall and said, ‘Does God see me, and does my husband see me?’” </li> <li>“Are you really there if nobody sees you?”</li> <li>“We would rather be invisible than be exposed.”</li> <li>Our fear of being vulnerable, or being exposed, gets in the way of us being seen or being known.</li> <li>“Is it a right? It is more than a right, it’s what you were created for.” –Referring to a woman questioning if it is her right to be seen and heard.</li> <li>When you feel invisible, you think it’s possibly your fault. But when you have that moment where God reveals to you that He sees you, then at least you know: <em>I am not invisible. I am real. I exist.</em></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-when-we-feel-invisible" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/real-love/" rel="noopener">Free e-booklet <em>Real Love</em> by Bill Crowder</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener"><em>God Hears Her</em> website</a></li> <li><a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-applemusic" rel="noopener">Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating on iTunes! </a></li> <li><em><a href="https://amzn.to/2Tp0O3S" rel="noopener">Order God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women on Amazon</a></em></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/3y2uFlD" rel="noopener">Order Robert Gelinas' book: Discipled by Jesus, on Amazon.</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Verses Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+16%3A13&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Genesis 16:13 NIV</a> “You are the God who sees me.” </li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+4%3A15-18&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">John 4:15-18 NIV</a> Jesus with the woman at the well.</li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Lamentations+1&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">The Book of Lamentations NIV</a> </li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>You may have heard it said, “You become what you think.” So what happens when all of our thoughts are focused on comparing ourselves with others? Join Eryn and Elisa on this episode of <em>God Hears He</em>r as they talk to Bree Rostic about the dangers of comparison and how God uniquely created each one of us.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Breonna Rostic is a writer, speaker, spoken word artist, and communication specialist with Our Daily Bread Ministries. Affectionately known as Bree, she is a ball of joy and love. Her passion is sharing God’s love for women to bring healing and restoration. She gained her admiration for the Word of God through serving as a teacher in her local ministry. Bree is married to Daryle and together they raise their three kids in Grand Rapids, Michigan.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“I wanted to tuck away that part of my life because it wasn’t clean, it wasn’t beautiful. But when you have time to reflect on a part of your life where you are running in an opposite direction, it is a beautiful testimony of His grace.”</li> <li>“You can trace Him [God] when you can’t see Him.”</li> <li>“The more time we spend with our Father and acknowledging Him, the more we can sense His presence.”</li> <li>“Comparison has become so normal in our culture. It is what we do in every aspect of our lives.”</li> <li>“When we think of the root of comparison, it comes down to thinking ‘what God gave me is not enough for me, and I need what He gave them.’”</li> <li>“When comparison is unchecked, it becomes like a cancer to your soul.”</li> <li>“We have to be our own doctors and say ‘how am I right now?’ and then not just pushing that thought off to the side.”</li> <li>“There is this freedom we can feel when we extend compassion to the acknowledgment.”</li> <li>“When we expose our shame, our insecurities, we are glorifying God. Because we know in our weakness, His strength is perfected.”</li> <li>Bree’s advice: 1. Don’t feel guilty. 2. Spend some time with your Father.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/the-comparison-trap" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order Bree’s book <em>From a Mile Behind</em> on Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/3wg6y0O" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/3wg6y0O</a></li> <li>Bree Rostic’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/breerostic/" rel="noopener">breerostic</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had one of <em>those</em> days? Or even one of <em>those</em> weeks? We’ve all been there. Join us this week on this “best of” episode of <em>God Hears Her</em> as Eryn and Elisa discuss emotions and a way to process hard feelings with God. </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li><em>Feelings are neither right or wrong, feelings inform us.</em> —Ann Voskamp</li> <li>“I can come to Him, or I can’t. I get to choose that, right? But grace is always there. It is always present. It is not forced upon us, but it is always there.”</li> <li>“Jesus doesn’t do life alone. He is in relationship with the Father and Spirit.”</li> <li>“Sometimes I struggle with feeling like I have to be put together in order to come to Him.”</li> <li>“Write down those ugly, shameful feelings and look at them. Not as an Instagram caption, but as a sacred moment, alone. Then admit and accept where you are, and surrender that to God. Evaluate your life choices: Are they bringing you closer to or farther away from God? And then set reminders to live in God’s truth.”</li> <li>“I think that’s the biggest thing with feelings and faith: Sometimes we think they can’t be in tandem. They can’t live together.”</li> <li>“Breathe Prayer: Lord, guide me to the wise path that protects my heart for the purposes you have for me. Use me to honor what you want me to know: that I am loved, that I need work, that I am called to a greater purpose you have for me, and that I don’t need to be scared of my ‘messy.’ But help me to recognize the messy and give it over to you. I love you, Jesus. Amen.”</li> <li>When our feelings are messy, it’s so important to tell someone, because we can lean in on their faith when our faith isn’t there.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-faith-and-feelings" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast"> https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2011:28-29&amp;version=NIV"> Matthew 11:28–29 NIV</a> <em>Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

        <![CDATA[<p>It’s probably safe to say that we’ve all experienced “the blues” at different times in our lives. But as Christians, how are we supposed to walk through those seasons of sadness, discouragement, or worse? Our guest for this episode, jazz singer Ruth Naomi Floyd, shares both the practical and the artistic ways we can find beauty in the midst of despair.</p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>As a vocalist and composer, Ruth Naomi Floyd has been at the forefront of creating vocal jazz settings that express theology and justice for over 25 years. Also a committed music educator, Ms. Floyd is Director of Jazz Studies at Cairn University in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, and an Adjunct and Artist in Residence at Temple University. Before that, Ms. Floyd taught music for 20 years at The City School.</p> <p> In addition to her musical talent, Ruth Naomi is also an award-winning fine art photographer specializing in black and white portrait images. She continues to make the city of Philadelphia her home, where for over 25 years she has been devoted and active in providing compassionate care and spiritual support  to people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“We don’t get where we are without those before us and surrounding us pushing us onward.”</li> <li>“There is beauty in the midst of darkness. There is light.”</li> <li>“In the beginning of Genesis 1:1, God presents Himself as an artist: ‘God created.’”</li> <li>“Jesus is the greatest blues singer.”</li> <li>“What kind of God can I not believe in? For me, I cannot believe in a God that hasn’t suffered.”</li> <li>“Sometimes continually showing up <em>is</em> activism.”</li> <li>“Each generation has a responsibility to take what’s best from the generations that preceded them and to build on it.”</li> <li>“On her way back to her cabin [after being dehumanized], she would search for beauty.”</li> <li>“Lean on our biblical sisters, and in each example we can find a way to reflect light.”</li> <li>“Sometimes, really, a radical act is committing to pray, committing to lament . . . remembering your sisters.”</li> <li>“It starts inward. So if we as sisters would value each other, if we would see beauty, if we would empower the kind words, if the world could see Christian women come together and be united and speaking over them with truth and love, they [the world] would be knocking our church doors down.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/beauty-in-the-midst-of-despair" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Ruth’s website: <a title="https://ruthnaomifloyd.com" href="https://ruthnaomifloyd.com" rel="noopener">https://ruthnaomifloyd.com</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa speak with Chris and Stephanie Teague about their personal experience with God’s restoration. They walk us through their entire journey of marrying young, the downfall of their marriage, and then its unexpected restoration. They also speak directly to the woman who is in the midst of the unknown and searching for hope and restoration in her own story.</p> <p>About our guests: </p> <p>The husband-and-wife duo “Out of the Dust” is comprised of Chris and Stephanie Teague whose story of downfall, heartbreak, and miraculous redemption is woven deep into the fabric of their music. After growing up in church and marrying young, Chris slowly and quietly lost all faith in God during college. Slipping into the grips of alcohol, drugs, and every other whim of his heart, he secretly managed an alter ego for years around church friends, family, and even Stephanie. Their young marriage quickly collapsed in divorce as Chris walked away from everything he knew. What happened next can’t be called anything other than a miracle. His independence very rapidly found him in the darkest and most desperate place of his life, and it was there that he was shown the depth of his selfishness and pride. Incredibly, in just over a year, God mended their hearts, restored their marriage, and still continues to breathe new life into their story today.  </p> <p>Chris and Stephanie have what they consider a “dream life” opportunity to travel the country as full-time “musicianaries,” telling the story of God’s grace in their lives that saved and transformed them individually as well as their marriage.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“You don’t know what you don’t know when you’re young.”</li> <li>“It is okay to struggle; it is okay to fail.”</li> <li>“I didn’t know there were other Christians that asked the same questions I did.”</li> <li>“I had to accept the reality and believe that ‘Lord, I do believe you restore in different ways, maybe just not in the way that I want restoration.’”</li> <li>“I felt security in controlling my life, and I just got thrown into something where I could not control anything around me.”</li> <li>“I found my identity in being that good Christan girl and being that wife. That is where I found my worth. But my worth is in being a daughter of the King.”</li> <li>“We live in a broken world, sin breaks things, and we don’t always get the redemption we want. That grieves the Lord as much as it does us.”</li> <li>“I think we play a part in our own transformation simply by being willing to be transformed.”</li> <li>“We are all called to forgive, but trust takes time.”</li> <li>Principles: Do your own work, participate in your own transformation, respect boundaries, trust takes time, involve your community, confess that you don’t know what you don’t know.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/out-of-the-dust" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order <em>Out of the Dust</em> on Amazon. <a href="https://amzn.to/3aMmXSu" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/3aMmXSu</a></li> <li>Out of the Dust website: <a href="https://outofthedustmusic.com/" rel="noopener">https://outofthedustmusic.com/</a></li> <li>Out of the Dust’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/outofthedustmusic/" rel="noopener">outofthedustmusic</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Eryn and Elisa discuss  a variety of topics with Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty including imposter syndrome, how to cope with failure, and how to deal with the pressure of expectations. Plus, Dr. Alma hones in on ways in which we can practice courage so that we’re better prepared for those unexpected moments in life when bravery is needed.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty was born in Los Angeles but was raised in Acapulco, Mexico, for most of her early childhood. She’s the daughter of immigrant parents and a first-generation high school and college graduate, and she also completed a Master’s in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Education Policy and Social Context. She is led by her desire to inspire others in her community to move past their own fears and barriers and to achieve their own life goals. </p> <p>Alma is the cofounder of <em>Prickly Pear Collective</em>, a faith-based, trauma-informed collective at the intersections of community, church, and therapy, bringing people together to move toward healing.

        <![CDATA[<p>Eryn and Elisa discuss  a variety of topics with Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty including imposter syndrome, how to cope with failure, and how to deal with the pressure of expectations. Plus, Dr. Alma hones in on ways in which we can practice courage so that we’re better prepared for those unexpected moments in life when bravery is needed.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Dr. Alma Zaragoza-Petty was born in Los Angeles but was raised in Acapulco, Mexico, for most of her early childhood. She’s the daughter of immigrant parents and a first-generation high school and college graduate, and she also completed a Master’s in Counseling and a Ph.D. in Education Policy and Social Context. She is led by her desire to inspire others in her community to move past their own fears and barriers and to achieve their own life goals. </p> <p>Alma is the cofounder of <em>Prickly Pear Collective</em>, a faith-based, trauma-informed collective at the intersections of community, church, and therapy, bringing people together to move toward healing. She’s also the cohost of <em>The Red Couch Podcast</em> with her husband who most people know as the rapper Propaganda.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“The higher I go [in education] the less like ‘me’ there are.

        <![CDATA[<p>How many times do we feel ragged and burned out? Broken and basically just a hot mess? Yet we believe we need to suck it up and show up in front of God with a smile plastered on our faces like everything is hunky-dory? Our next guest, Ellie Holcomb, has a conversation with us about taking on grit, grounding ourselves in God’s truth, and showing up as we are.</p> <p> </p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Ellie Holcomb, a Nashville native, began her musical career by touring the country with her husband. After eight years, and with the birth of their daughter, Ellie opted to step out of the role of heavy touring. From that space came her debut solo album, <em>As Sure As The Sun</em>, which charted at no. 1 on the iTunes Christian chart and helped deem Holcomb the “Best New Artist” at the 2014 Dove Awards. She has released multiple albums since then and also a best-selling book. Ellie, her husband, and their three children live and make music in Nashville.</p> <p> </p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“Even growing up in this amazing, vibrant community, I gathered that the gospel was all about me being good enough and loving God and loving people enough. And that is all good and well, but that’s not really the gospel.”</li> <li>“The gospel is not about making bad people good people. It’s about making dead people alive people.”</li> <li>“I didn’t know it was okay to not be okay.”</li> <li>“The church isn’t meant to be a trophy room. It’s supposed to be a hospital and a table that everyone is welcome to.”</li> <li>“I know that God is a healer . . . but I was too scared to give Him my broken heart.”</li> <li>“God’s Word gave us solid ground to stand on when the shame storm starts to roll in.”</li> <li>“He started changing us, and it didn’t change our circumstances, but it started changing us from the inside out.”</li> <li>“I know God is real from the sorrow in my life.”</li> <li>“God is with you. He can handle your anger, and He can handle your hurt. He can hold it all.”</li> <li>“He walked out of a grave. And the suffering you are experiencing does not have the final word.”</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/truth-and-grit" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download:<em>Going the Distance: Practices to Strengthen Your Faith <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/going-the-distance/" rel="noopener">https://discoveryseries.org/courses/going-the-distance/</a></em></li> <li>Ellie’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ellieholcomb/" rel="noopener"><em>ellieholcomb</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener"><em>elisamorganauthor</em></a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener"><em>eryneddy</em></a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>What do you think of when you hear the word <em>trailblazer</em>? Maybe a pioneer or innovator? A person who takes risks in order to brave a new path? In this episode of <em>God Hears Her,</em> Ambassador Sujay shares her story about following God’s lead.

        <![CDATA[<p>All of us know what it feels like to be alone. Even when surrounded by people, we can experience loneliness, isolation, and disconnection. In those moments, our aloneness can make us wonder if God is truly near. In this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Sally Lloyd-Jones, the author of <em>The</em> <em>Jesus Storybook Bible</em>, joins us to share how God is near, even when we don’t feel His presence or recognize His nearness. The show then takes a surprising turn when she helps us see how God’s nearness opens the door to experiencing childlike wonder.</p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>Sally Lloyd-Jones is a <em>New York Times</em> bestselling children’s author, blogger, and child-at-heart. Her book <em>The</em> <em>Jesus Storybook Bible</em> is beloved by both children and adults and has sold over three million copies and been translated into 46 languages.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: All quotes by Sally</p> <ul> <li>“Wherever you are, you can’t ever go anywhere that God isn’t with you.”</li> <li>“In a time when we are all isolated and socially distant, we have a God that is not socially distant.”</li> <li>“When you’re in a storm in life, God is just as close as He would be on a sunny day in a meadow.”</li> <li>“Love is at the center of creation. God is a loving Creator.”</li> <li>How to find the wonder: Go outside and take a beauty walk. List three things you are grateful for. Start to choose your thoughts.</li> <li>“We have to decide if we are going to listen to ourselves or talk to ourselves.”</li> <li>“Get out of the courtroom. God isn’t about punishing, because if that was the case we would be making nonsense of the fact that we needed a rescuer (Jesus).”</li> <li>“Why would I doubt that my heavenly Father is not even as good as a human parent?”</li> <li>Amy Carmichael: Our feelings are not God’s facts.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/are-you-there-god" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>Comparison: The Thief of Joy</em> <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/comparison/" rel="noopener"><em>https://discoveryseries.org/courses/comparison/</em></a></li> <li>Order <em>Near: Psalm 139</em> board book on Amazon. <a href="https://amzn.to/3elhrZB" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/3elhrZB</a></li> <li>Order <em>The Jesus Storybook Bible</em> on Amazon.  <a href="https://amzn.to/2N7lcqA" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/2N7lcqA</a></li> <li>Sally’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sallylloydjones/" rel="noopener">@sallylloydjones</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">@elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">@eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Psalm 139 - The Lord knows us</li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Join Eryn and Elisa for a special episode of <em>God Hears Her</em> where they focus on the women of Easter, such as Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, as well as others who experienced Jesus’ compassion.

The only thing that gave women value in biblical times was if they were married and if they had children.”</li> <li>“Jesus comes against that cultural standard and sees and hears and values women for who they are: humans.”</li> <li>“The Lord sees and loves you. Your value is not found in what society or what Christianity sees in you that way.”</li> <li>The women of Easter: Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them.</li> <li>“Jesus goes from calling her woman to calling her Mary. He sees her, He knows her. He knows her name.”</li> <li>“We do it so quickly. We can have so many experiences and yet still wonder if that [God experience] was real.”</li> <li>“On the Monday after Easter, we’re pretty much back to looking for the living among the dead.

        <![CDATA[<p>We’ve all heard it said that adventure is out there and that life begins at the end of your comfort zone. But how do we know the difference between recklessness and adventure? And how do we recognize when it’s God who is calling us out of the comfortable into something new He has for us? Kari Jobe has been there, and on this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Kari joins Eryn and Elisa and discusses what she describes as the adventure of following God. Plus, Kari also shares the inspiration behind three of her hit songs.</p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>For more than two decades, Kari Jobe has been using her gifts to lead people into the presence of God as a well-respected worship leader. When she began leading worship at 13 years old, she never imagined she would be nominated for a GRAMMY®, win multiple Dove Awards, have a RIAA Gold Certified single, or be praised by the <em>New York Times</em>. She has sold more than 1.3 million albums (TEA) in her career and has more than one billion career streams. Originally from Texas and now residing in Nashville, TN, she tours the country with her husband, Cody Carnes, and their two boys, Canyon and Kingston, and they both serve at their home church.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I thought everything I prayed would happen just like that. Just give it time.”</li> <li>“I have always just wanted to live radically for the Lord and obey what He’s asking. When you walk that out, you realize God is faithful.”</li> <li>“There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors.”</li> <li>“It’s okay to fail Him too. I have ‘missed’ Him plenty of times, and there is grace for that.”</li> <li>“With God nothing is ever a loss. It may have been a really expensive lesson that you learned, but most often the important things we learn are an investment of our time and money.”</li> <li>“If the heart is right, and you’re submitted to the Lord . . . it’s not a miss; it just might be a different way of looking at it.”</li> <li>“I unleashed on the enemy and I said, ‘How dare you! You will <em>not</em> attack my family. You better back off.’”</li> <li>“I take authority over my mind, I take authority over my family, and I take authority over you [the enemy].”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/adventurous-obedience" rel="noopener"><em>Show Notes on godhearsher.org</em></a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>Live Free: A Fresh Look at the Fruit of the Spirit: <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/live-free/" rel="noopener">https://discoveryseries.org/courses/live-free/</a></em></li> <li><em>Kari Jobe’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/karijobe/" rel="noopener">karijobe</a></em></li> <li><em>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></em></li> <li><em>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></em></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show:</p> <p>Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)  “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”</p> <p> </p>]]>

Plus, Kari also shares the inspiration behind three of her hit songs.</p> <p>About our guest: </p> <p>For more than two decades, Kari Jobe has been using her gifts to lead people into the presence of God as a well-respected worship leader. When she began leading worship at 13 years old, she never imagined she would be nominated for a GRAMMY®, win multiple Dove Awards, have a RIAA Gold Certified single, or be praised by the <em>New York Times</em>. She has sold more than 1.3 million albums (TEA) in her career and has more than one billion career streams. Originally from Texas and now residing in Nashville, TN, she tours the country with her husband, Cody Carnes, and their two boys, Canyon and Kingston, and they both serve at their home church.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I thought everything I prayed would happen just like that. Just give it time.”</li> <li>“I have always just wanted to live radically for the Lord and obey what He’s asking. When you walk that out, you realize God is faithful.”</li> <li>“There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors.”</li> <li>“It’s okay to fail Him too. I have ‘missed’ Him plenty of times, and there is grace for that.”</li> <li>“With God nothing is ever a loss. It may have been a really expensive lesson that you learned, but most often the important things we learn are an investment of our time and money.”</li> <li>“If the heart is right, and you’re submitted to the Lord . . . it’s not a miss; it just might be a different way of looking at it.”</li> <li>“I unleashed on the enemy and I said, ‘How dare you! You will <em>not</em> attack my family. You better back off.’”</li> <li>“I take authority over my mind, I take authority over my family, and I take authority over you [the enemy].”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/adventurous-obedience" rel="noopener"><em>Show Notes on godhearsher.org</em></a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>Live Free: A Fresh Look at the Fruit of the Spirit: <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/live-free/" rel="noopener">https://discoveryseries.org/courses/live-free/</a></em></li> <li><em>Kari Jobe’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/karijobe/" rel="noopener">karijobe</a></em></li> <li><em>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></em></li> <li><em>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></em></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show:</p> <p>Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)  “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.”</p> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>All of us struggle with emotional, psychological, and physical circumstances that impact the way we experience our lives, others, and the world around us. And even though our society has come a long way, the conversation of mental health is oftentimes still stigmatized. But we believe that an important way to disprove that stigma is to talk about it. Just as we need to take care of our physical health, our guest Dr. Christina Edmondson encourages us to take care of our brain health.</p> <p>Bio of guest: </p> <p>Christina Edmondson holds a PhD in counseling psychology from Tennessee State University, an MS degree from the University of Rochester in family systems, and a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Hampton University with an emphasis in race, class, and gender. For over a decade, Christina has served in a variety of roles including most recently as the Dean for Intercultural Student Development at Calvin University. A certified cultural intelligence facilitator, public speaker, and former mental health therapist, Christina is often contacted by churches to consult about leadership development, antiracism, and mental health issues. She is also one of the co-hosts of the Truth’s Table podcast.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:</p> <ul> <li>“God has given us emotions, feelings, thoughts, and experiences and invited us to process those things. And so, I do think there is a lot of stigma and shame attached to, obviously, issues of mental illness in our culture and in our society. But the truth is, our brains are just as fallen as everything else, and so, to the extent that we would have physical issues like high blood pressure and heart disease and a bad back, we also have nagging, anxious thoughts. We are also kind of wired in ways that make us more susceptible and prone to depression, for example. And not to mention the painful experiences that we have and the way that trauma shapes us. And so I just think that we need to give ourselves and other people a lot more grace.”</li> <li>“On this side of glory, we’ve got real problems and real issues. And you know, Jesus is not insecure. We don’t have to pretend to have it all together as if we are somehow disparaging the name of Christ because we have struggles.”</li> <li>“And so, even our traumas, our fears, our issues . . . even those things must bow down to Christ’s agenda for us, which is ultimately for our good and for His glory.”</li> <li>“As a part of our humanity, we do have a range of emotions, and we can see Jesus in the text express a variety of emotions—from grief and lament to anger to joy and delight in friendships and connections.”</li> <li>“We don’t have to be afraid of the sadness or the frustration or even the anger that we have. It’s what then we do next with it, right?”</li> <li>“As women, we can demonstrate love for each other by not binding people to these caricatures of what other women are supposed to be, giving them the grace to teach us something about the fullness and beauty of womanhood.”</li> <li>“Intimacy takes vulnerability, and vulnerability is almost like a muscle that we have to continually train and work out.”</li> <li>“You take your car in to get looked over; we should take our brains and our bodies in to get looked over.”</li> <li>“I would invite people to think about how, if they’re doing great, how they could be a listening ear, a supportive friend . . .”</li> <li>“I’m so grateful that Jesus did that in the Scriptures and Jesus does that now. Jesus sees us even now.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/mental-health-and-faith" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download:<em>Why?

        <![CDATA[<p>Talking about finances can be so awkward! But the truth is that many adults, and often even children, face the stress and anxiety that comes along with financial instability. And although there are many speakers and influencers who strive to guide and teach us how to avoid debt, what happens when we have to learn the hard way? </p> <p>Join hosts Elisa and Eryn as they discuss their own personal struggles with finances at different times in their lives. They also chat about the steps they’ve taken to overcome the shame financial struggles cause and how they learned to hear God amidst their own financial messes.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I remember the anxiety of seeing an unknown number on my phone knowing it was a debt collector calling to ask me to make payments on something I had zero money for.”</li> <li>“So in a way someone paying for your egg sandwich and coffee . . . in that moment you sensed God seeing you, hearing you, being with you, noticing your situation.”</li> <li>“Looking back now I can see [how] I saw my relationship with the Lord in how much money He provided, and I put the value on myself in how much money I made.”</li> <li>“Is God going to get me out of this if I got myself into this?”</li> <li>“I feel that shame, and it wasn’t my fault. I was just a kid. I felt embarrassed when friends came over.”</li> <li>“We carry around this incredible shame about our financial trauma, whether it has been our choice or it happened to us.”</li> <li>“Money can be a power thing in marriage. Whoever is the main breadwinner can control everything.”</li> <li>“The reality is that marriage is a partnership and we have to learn to ask for what we need.”</li> <li>“It was me leaning into the discomfort that led to me leaning into God, who was the only comfort that brought me out of it and also sharpened my character in the process.”</li> <li>“What is the story I am telling myself as I am getting out of this?

        <![CDATA[<p>As we revisit this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Vivian Mabuni admits that as an American of Asian descent, she’s struggled to fit in, and this reality leads to a conversation on diversity, inclusion, and healing. From understanding terms like “microaggression” to walking us through how to be a good friend to someone who’s hurting, this is a conversation about how God intended us to love others, even those who are different from us.</p> <p>About Our Guest: </p> <p>Vivian Mabuni is a teacher and uses the platforms of writing, speaking, and podcasting to encourage women to find the abundant life Christ offers within the good and bad of life. Her battle with cancer led her to see God as present and faithful, even when life is not working out the way she expected. She wants people to know that following Jesus is not a pain-free and smooth journey, but it is still rich and good! Her newest book is titled <em>Open Hands Willing Heart: Discover the Joy of Saying Yes to God.</em></p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>Microaggression: An othering; it separates us. According to <em>Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary</em>, a microaggression is “a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group.”</li> <li>“I have been on a journey, really, and some of it has been learning to actually embrace and celebrate my ethnic heritage because most of my life I spent trying to fit in.”</li> <li>Here’s a kind way to ask a person of a different ethnic background about themselves:  “Will you share with me your ethnic heritage?” Also, learn your own ethnic heritage so you can contribute to the conversation.</li> <li>“American does not mean ‘white,’ and we tend to start to think that is the normal; and that is not necessarily normal. It’s its own experience.”</li> <li>There is a strong rooting that takes place when we understand who we are and where we are from.</li> <li>God intends for us to live in unity, but unity is not uniformity. </li> <li>“I am not going to let what would be injustice, impact my character.”</li> <li>“Instead of segregating our offerings into little cliques, which is so difficult, can we be more intentional of being inclusive?”</li> <li>How to help a friend who is healing: “To be a good friend, don’t offer advice. The present of presence just goes so much further.”</li> <li>We all heal differently, and learning to be a gracious receiver is hard. We need to be respectful that each of us handles suffering differently.</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-when-we-dont-fit-in" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><a href="https://discovertheword.org/series/open-hands-willing-heart/" rel="noopener"><em>Discover the Word</em> series with Vivian: “Open Hands Willing Heart</a>”</li> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener"><em>God Hears Her</em> website</a></li> <li><a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-applemusic" rel="noopener">Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating on iTunes! </a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2Tp0O3S" rel="noopener">Order</a> <em><a href="https://amzn.to/2Tp0O3S" rel="noopener">God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</a></em></li> <li><a href="http://www.vivianmabuni.com/someday-is-here" rel="noopener">Vivians’s Podcast: <em>Someday is Here</em></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Open-Hands-Willing-Heart-Discover/dp/073529173X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1542139203&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=open+hands+willing+heart&amp;dpID=41Fonkuy6YL&amp;preST=_SY344_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch" rel="noopener">Vivian’s Book: <em>Open Hands Willing Heart</em></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Warrior-Pink-Cancer-Community-Comforts/dp/1572938420/ref=sr_1_2?crid=33SBEAASJAFQN&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=vivian+mabuni&amp;qid=1591814485&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=vivian+mabun%2Caps%2C162&amp;sr=1-2" rel="noopener">Vivian’s Book: <em>Warrior in Pink</em></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Just-Mercy-Story-Justice-Redemption/dp/081298496X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=bryan+stevenson+just+mercy&amp;qid=1591813610&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener">Bryan Stevenson’s Book: <em>Just Mercy</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Show Summary: </p> <p>God could have designed humans to eat rocks, but instead He created food and gave men and women thousands of taste buds to enjoy it. On this episode of “God Hears Her,” Margaret Feinberg joins the show to talk food, which is really a discussion into the deepest longings of a woman’s heart, and God’s invitation to taste and see that He is good. </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Margaret Feinberg is a podcaster on <em>The</em> <em>Joycast</em>, a speaker, and an author of several books that have sold over a million copies. She was recently named one of <em>Christianity Today</em>’s top 50 women shaping culture and the church. She lives in Utah with her husband, Leif, and their super-pup Hershey. Her recent book is <em>Taste and See: Discovering God Among Butchers, Bakers and Fresh Food Markets</em>.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:  </p> <ul> <li>"Food is God’s love made edible." </li> <li>"God creates the garden with a plethora of food and then gives us thousands of taste buds to enjoy it." </li> <li>"What we really ache for is to know and be known, to love and be loved, and to enter a place where we can be vulnerable and any sense of shame scurries away." </li> <li>"Communities are little mirrors that reflect ourselves back to us." </li> <li>"There are times when I need, through prayer and Scripture, to hear God’s love for me.  And there are other times, for that to really take root, I need to hear it through other humans who are reflecting His glory and His presence." </li> <li>"Social media is a dangerous game because it begins to feel like 'life.' But when words come from a person, in person, they are more meaningful and life-changing." </li> <li>"If you want to have community, you have to build it, often out of nothing." </li> <li>"If we want to be seen, we may have to open our eyes and see first. If we want to be heard, we have to become people who are really great listeners." </li> <li>"The deepest hungers of your heart are uniquely designed to be met first and foremost by God. Jesus really is the One who can speak the syllables you most need to hear." </li> <li>"Reach out to meet others’ needs; and as you love them and bring joy to them, you’ll find some of your needs met too." </li> <li>"Choose good people: life-giving, Jesus-loving, makes-you-laugh-until-tears-run-down- your-cheeks-and-other-places kind of people."</li> </ul> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://godhearsher.org/podcast/the-best-of-taste-and-see" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener"><em>God Hears Her</em> website</a></li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating!</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2VGCsTS" rel="noopener">Get your copy of Margaret Feinberg’s book <em>Taste and See</em> on Amazon</a></li> <li><a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/open-hearts-open-homes/" rel="noopener">Free e-booklet: <em>Open Hearts, Open Homes</em></a></li> <li><em><a href="https://odb.org/" rel="noopener">Our Daily Bread</a></em> <a href="https://odb.org/" rel="noopener">website</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses: </p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+13%3A21+&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Hebrews 13:21 NIV</a> “We are called, equipped, and chosen.” </p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+29%3A11&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Jeremiah 29:11 NIV</a> “Plan and a future”</p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+2%3A10+&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Ephesians 2:10 NIV</a> “Appointed good works for me to do”</p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8%3A38+&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Romans 8:38 NIV</a> “I am loved by God.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2++Corinthians+10+&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">2 Corinthians 10 NIV</a> “Take every thought captive.”</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>We all experience life-defining moments. Some of those moments can be good and life-changing while other moments are not so good. What happens when we allow those not-so-good moments to negatively define our identities? Speaker and best-selling author Laura Smith joins Elisa and Eryn to share ways in which we can learn to overcome the lies that we’ve believed and focus on God’s life-changing and freeing truth. </p> <p>Bio of guest: </p> <p>Laura Smith is an avid storyteller through her books, blog posts, and public speaking. Her recent book <em>How Sweet the Sound</em> focuses on the beauty and truth that come from Scripture-inspired hymns. Along with being a wife and mom, Laura’s hope is to use her writing and public speaking to help others discover the identity that God has instilled in each of us.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“I think it’s so interesting how, you know, you can grow up thinking one way about your family life, and then you step into this awareness of what it really is.”</li> <li>“He loves us for exactly who we are, because He created us in His image—because He created <em>us</em>!”          </li> <li>“In college, I had my Bible. I would read it every day, then I would put it under my pillow and go do whatever the heck I wanted. I believed in God, and I loved him, but I didn’t live like it.”</li> <li>“It was some sort of lie that I started to believe when I was younger, that if I do these things, then ‘this’ will make ‘this’ true.”</li> <li>“I am trying to honor the fact that forgiveness and trust are not the same thing.”</li> <li>“I can forgive [my dad] and be kind to him, but I don’t have to trust him and let him into my safe spaces.”</li> <li>“We tend to think that when we come to know Jesus that everything is just ‘BING’ and resolved and wrapped up in this box with a pretty bow on it. And real life is often: God promises and does meet the desires of our hearts. Sometimes it’s now, sometimes it’s  later, sometimes it’s not really in this lifetime.”</li> <li>Three resounding themes: God is almighty. He loves us unconditionally. He will never leave us.</li> <li>“So many of us want to throw out the pain in our lives; the hardness of our lives; the embarrassing, depleting, revealing in our lives; and think, ‘Okay, now God can come in, and now He can do something with me.’”</li> <li>“God planted good in the soil of your pain.”</li> <li>“We have to really focus on who we are listening to for our identity.”</li> <li>Three ways to stay in the truth that God created me as a masterpiece: Read the Bible every day; pray every day “Who do you see me as?”; hang out with core people you can trust and confide in.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-24-when-we-feel-we-are-not-enough" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>Know the Enemy:</em> <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/know-the-enemy/" rel="noopener">https://discoveryseries.org/courses/know-the-enemy/</a></li> <li>Order Laura Smith’s book <em>How Sweet the Sound</em>: <a href="https://amzn.to/36wMRqp" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/36wMRqp</a> </li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Ephesians 2:10 NIV “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202%3A10&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202%3A10&amp;version=NIV</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>“Adulting” can often make us feel bogged down by jobs, parenting, and other community responsibilities, and it can be difficult finding time to “play.” Elisa and Eryn look at the importance of loosening up and having fun, and why that needs to be a priority for all of us. It’s not a waste of time! In fact, we need to be intentional about it.    </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“Why is it that when we get older we quit playing?”</li> <li>“I can think of all the other priorities in my life, but play is not one of them. It feels selfish.”</li> <li>“Maybe another reason we don’t play is because we need to give up a little control.”</li> <li>“The hardest time of my life to play was when I was mothering young children. Because they are always playing, and you want them to, but you don’t have any time to play.”</li> <li>“Try to enjoy play with [your kids], and then try to ask for a break. Ask for a sitter for the kids and go out for girl time or date night. And do something silly!”</li> <li>“I think sometimes we think it’s reckless, and really it’s being faithful to play.”</li> <li>Popcorn ideas of how we can begin to play: Do something you have never done! Take a pottery class. Learn to knit. Try oil painting. Be present. Play with your kids. Try to say, “Yes.” Get out in nature. Car karaoke. </li> <li>“Play is for the very young. And when we are young, we aren’t scared to play. To play as an adult is to become yielded and vulnerable and open and exposed, and that is dangerous.

        <![CDATA[<p>We live in a culture that tends to avoid negative emotions. It’s not uncommon to hear someone say to another person who’s angry, frustrated, or sad, “Just buck up! Look on the bright side!” But negative emotions are important. Elisa and Eryn talk about one of the most important emotions—anger—and they explore ways to follow the signs to discover what’s really going on in our hearts and minds. </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“Anger is like a signal, it may not be the top emotion.”</li> <li> “There is this aftermath of anger that just kind of lays before us. Sometimes there’s broken pieces of relationships, and sometimes there’s broken pieces of our own hearts.”</li> <li>“When we’re angry, could it be an expectation that’s not met?”</li> <li>“Anger can also come from blocked goals.”</li> <li>“Once I realized there are other layers under anger, I kind of felt a little more compassion for myself instead of all this self-condemnation and lostness.”</li> <li>Questions to ask yourself to get to the place of self-compassion: What’s this about? Why am I surprised? What has hurt me? Why am I hurting?</li> <li>“One thing I have learned in my relationship with the Lord is that He is so confident and so secure that my insecurity and my lack of confidence in the heat of the moment doesn’t impact Him or the way that He loves and sees me.”</li> <li>“He [God] probably is hurt that we self-condemn. I think He is probably disappointed that we self-separate from Him and accuse Him of being unloving when He is anything but [unloving].”</li> <li>When the anger switch flips, it’s easy to sin.</li> <li>“Anger can actually serve us and serve God’s purposes when we do our work with it.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-22-dealing-with-anger" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>When Anger Burns</em>. <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/when-anger-burns/" rel="noopener">https://discoveryseries.org/courses/when-anger-burns/</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Ephesians 4:26 NIV “‘In your anger do not sin’: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204%3A26&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204%3A26&amp;version=NIV</a></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Romans 8:28 NIV “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208%3A28&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208%3A28&amp;version=NIV</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>We’ve all made bad decisions. Some of those bad decisions come back to haunt us, and some decisions we thought were good at the time end up having nasty consequences. Oftentimes, those moments lead to regret, and many of us struggle to move past our big mistakes. Humorist Liz Curtis Higgs joins Elisa and Eryn to share how we can find freedom from the past and hope for the future. </p> <p>Bio of guest: </p> <p>Liz Curtis Higgs describes herself as a former “bad girl” who met Jesus and is no longer defined by her mistakes. She’s a best-selling author and well-known speaker, and she wrote the foreword for the best-selling devotional from Our Daily Bread Ministries titled <em>God Sees Her</em>.

That is what I needed. Everybody is different. Some of us are weaned off the old life, and that doesn’t mean that you didn’t hear the Lord correctly or you’re disobedient.” </li> <li>“The path for each of us is so unique; the Savior, though, is one and the same.”</li> <li>“We all share a kind of badness, and we all struggle with shame around badness. And my badness may not look like your badness, and yours may not look like mine. But we share it; and if we could just love each other in our badness and accept and not judge . . . wow, what a world that could be.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-21-no-longer-defined" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>The Forgiveness of God:</em> <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/the-forgiveness-of-god/" rel="noopener">https://discoveryseries.org/courses/the-forgiveness-of-god/</a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Psalm 37:4 NIV  <em>Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.</em> <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+37%3A4&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+37%3A4&amp;version=NIV</a></li> <li>Mark 10:18 NIV  <em>“No one is good—except God alone.”</em> <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2010%3A18&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2010%3A18&amp;version=NIV</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>We all have moments in our past that lead to brokenness. For some, this is a recent past, and for others, childhood trauma continues to shape present reality. What brokenness—or broken people—have you experienced in your life? Today, Toni Collier joins <em>God Hears Her</em> to remind all of us that our past doesn’t have to define us. Instead, even our brokenness can be redeemed by God and used for His glory and our good. </p> <p>Bio of guest: </p> <p>Toni Collier is a communicator, host, and consultant at North Point Ministries. She’s also a voice of <em>Our Daily Bread</em>, and the creator of the blog “Broken Crayons Still Color”—a place for women to be reminded that our past doesn’t define us. Toni is “Texas proud” of her Houston, Texas, roots, but currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and family.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“There is a balance between being imperfect and striving for perfection, and I think the middle is hard to sit in.”</li> <li>“I went through a mindset shift that there was a God that wasn’t up there with His finger pointing down at me, but instead was like ‘put me in coach.’”</li> <li>Counseling is <em>not</em> a weakness, it is <em>needed.</em> </li> <li>“Our lives are like bookshelves.”</li> <li>“It is not the brokenness we are lifting up and celebrating, but it is God’s presence and redemption in the brokenness.”</li> <li>“The world has lied to us, and told us we had to be perfect to be used.”</li> <li>“The truth is, God wants to use us in the middle of our mess.”</li> <li>This is the time to walk boldly in our brokenness.</li> <li>“What people don’t know is what comes with exposing those traumas . . . anxiety.”</li> <li>When we discover our brokenness, it takes time to heal. </li> <li>“You are more than enough.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-18-how-god-redeems-brokenness" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Check out Toni’s Blog: <em>Broken Crayons Still Color</em> <a href="http://brkncrayons.com/" rel="noopener"><em>http://brkncrayons.com/</em></a></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>Clinging to Hope in the Storm</em> <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/clinging-to-hope-in-the-storm/" rel="noopener"><em>https://discoveryseries.org/courses/clinging-to-hope-in-the-storm/</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012%3A9&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener"><em>https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012%3A9&amp;version=NIV</em></a></li> </ul>]]>

Toni is “Texas proud” of her Houston, Texas, roots, but currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and family.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“There is a balance between being imperfect and striving for perfection, and I think the middle is hard to sit in.”</li> <li>“I went through a mindset shift that there was a God that wasn’t up there with His finger pointing down at me, but instead was like ‘put me in coach.’”</li> <li>Counseling is <em>not</em> a weakness, it is <em>needed.</em> </li> <li>“Our lives are like bookshelves.”</li> <li>“It is not the brokenness we are lifting up and celebrating, but it is God’s presence and redemption in the brokenness.”</li> <li>“The world has lied to us, and told us we had to be perfect to be used.”</li> <li>“The truth is, God wants to use us in the middle of our mess.”</li> <li>This is the time to walk boldly in our brokenness.</li> <li>“What people don’t know is what comes with exposing those traumas . . . anxiety.”</li> <li>When we discover our brokenness, it takes time to heal. </li> <li>“You are more than enough.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-18-how-god-redeems-brokenness" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Check out Toni’s Blog: <em>Broken Crayons Still Color</em> <a href="http://brkncrayons.com/" rel="noopener"><em>http://brkncrayons.com/</em></a></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>Clinging to Hope in the Storm</em> <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/clinging-to-hope-in-the-storm/" rel="noopener"><em>https://discoveryseries.org/courses/clinging-to-hope-in-the-storm/</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012%3A9&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener"><em>https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2012%3A9&amp;version=NIV</em></a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>When you read the term “toxic people,” who comes to mind? A coworker? A family member? Someone at church? Maybe it’s a group of people who feed off of one another in the worst of ways. What makes someone toxic? What’s the difference between a toxic person and someone who’s broken and needs extra love? How do you know when it’s time to walk away from a toxic person? In this episode, our guest Gary Thomas will be leading us through a discussion of how to recognize and when to walk away from toxic people.</p> <p>Bio of guest: </p> <p>Gary Thomas is the best-selling author of over 20 books including the topic of today’s show: <em>When to Walk Away: Finding Freedom from Toxic People</em>. Gary serves on the teaching team at Second Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, and has been married to his wife, Lisa, for 25 years. They have three adult children and a granddaughter. </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“Walking away isn’t always a statement of failure; it’s a statement of strategy.”</li> <li>If we let toxic people control our thoughts and focus, then we lose sight of the purpose God has for us.</li> <li>“Here’s my voice, here’s my mission” . . .  and don’t let a toxic person distract you from that mission.</li> <li>Women in their fifties will look back at the toxic people from their twenties and laugh at how insignificant those people have become in their lives.</li> <li>“Gaslighting is when somebody makes you feel like you’re crazy when you are speaking the truth.”</li> <li>“When you question your own sanity, they are destroying your foundation.”</li> <li>“All toxic people are difficult, but not all difficult people are toxic.”</li> <li>“Toxic people love to act in a toxic manner. Healthy people will occasionally act in a toxic way.”</li> <li>“Walking away is actually an act of worship.”</li> <li>“Toxic people often use toxic language. . . . They don’t want you to act like a Christian to please God, they are using your desire to please God as a weapon to control you.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-17-finding-freedom-from-toxic-people" rel="noopener"><em>Show Notes on godhearsher.org</em></a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Subscribe on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Order Gary’s book <em>When to Walk Away: Finding Freedom from Toxic People</em> on Amazon. <a href="https://amzn.to/3kt8eyp">https://amzn.to/3kt8eyp</a> </li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: <em>When Violence Comes Home: Help for Victims of Spousal Abuse</em> <em><a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/when-violence-comes-home/">https://discoveryseries.org/courses/when-violence-comes-home/</a></em></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>John 15:8 NIV “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A8&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A8&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Mark 11:12–25 Jesus Curses a Fig Tree <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A12-25&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+11%3A12-25&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Matthew 6:33 NIV “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A33&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A33&amp;version=NIV</a> </li> <li>Matthew 7:6 NIV “Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs.

        <![CDATA[<p>How do you navigate difficult relationships? How do you handle deep disagreements with people you love? What does it look like to deal with conflict when the person you’re at odds with is a family member or a close friend? Today on <em>God Hears Her</em>, Patricia Raybon joins Eryn and Elisa to share her story of navigating a complicated relationship and offers practical wisdom for those of us who may find ourselves in a similar situation.</p> <p>Bio of guest: </p> <p>Patricia Raybon is an award-winning author and journalist and a writer for both Our Daily Bread Ministries and DaySpring’s (in)courage Blog.

But as I look at history, there has never been a time where people were not divided by race or ethnicity.”</li> <li>“Our stories are not our own . . . What I discovered is that these personal stories are not mine. They give the people that read them permission to reflect on their own lives.”</li> <li>“Every mother has a dream of what her family is going to look like, and when that dream is rejected, there is a grieving period.”</li> <li>“The Lord encouraged me to love her [my daughter], and trust Him.”</li> <li>“We are still able to be a family even though the details of our conflict have not been resolved.”</li> <li>“We agreed to respect our differences, and I agreed to respect the choice she had made. Not to accept the choice, but to respect [her].”</li> <li>“People love the stories when people find their way back to the faith, but that is not always the end of the story . . . Know that sometimes God is still writing.”</li> <li>“When you model that respect, it invites it back.”</li> <li>In the digital world today, we can almost always find people being hateful.</li> <li>“Tolerance allows my family to keep going.”</li> </ol> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-15-navigating-difficult-relationships" rel="noopener"><em>Show Notes on godhearsher.org</em></a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em> </em> <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</em></a></li> <li>Order Patricia’s Book: <em>My First White Friend:</em> <a href="https://amzn.to/3heKCvd" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/3heKCvd</em></a></li> <li><em>Order Patricia’s Book: Undivided: A Muslim Daughter, Her Christian Mother, Their Path to Peace <a href="https://amzn.to/3ifqj2e" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/3ifqj2e</a></em></li> <li>Free eBooklet to Download: Clinging to Hope in the Storm <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/clinging-to-hope-in-the-storm/" rel="noopener"><em>https://discoveryseries.org/courses/clinging-to-hope-in-the-storm/</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Romans 8:26.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever felt like diving into Scripture was either too intimidating or boring because “been there, done that”? Well, our guest Meghan Larissa Good has been there too, and she joins Elisa and Eryn to offer tangible ways to explore the big story Scripture tells. </p> <p>Bio of guest: </p> <p>Meghan Larissa Good teaches at Trinity Mennonite Church in Glendale, Arizona, and has degrees from Gordon College, Duke Divinity School, and Portland Seminary. She is also an author; and her most recent book, <em>The Bible Unwrapped</em>, helps make sense of the big story Scripture tells and how that story impacts us today. </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>Jesus as a companion means always having a friend with you. He is real and accessible.</li> <li>Meghan’s Scripture practice: Sitting with Scripture and writing down questions, observations, and even prayer. Think about the purpose each story represents.</li> <li>If you find yourself in a prayer rut, introduce Scripture to help you pray with a new outlook.</li> <li>“The Bible is not mechanical. What we are hearing is a narrative of God’s engagement with people.”</li> <li>The Bible is not meant to be intimidating. It’s meant to be dug into; and it’s an invitation to be romanced by what Jesus wants to teach you.</li> <li>“I think people have a lot of fear of getting it (the Bible) wrong, and this feels like a high- stakes thing to get wrong. Like, ‘What if I get God wrong? What if I get God’s desire wrong?’”</li> <li>The plotline of the entire Bible is summed up in this: “God is remaking the world and bringing all broken things back together.”</li> <li>The Bible is a window, not a mirror. “It’s a means, not an end.” We look through Scripture, not at it. If we treat it like a mirror, we are doomed. If we look at it like a painting, we are missing the point.</li> <li>“Sometimes we feel like we have to be a certain way, look a certain way, or act a certain way to be used by God. But His continual pursuit for our heart shows us that we don’t have to be anything other than exactly what we are.”</li> <li>“The Christian life is not about being right, it is about being love.”</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-13-enjoying-and-exploring-scripture" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em>God Hears Her</em> website: <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">https://www.godhearsher.org/</a></li> <li>Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating on iTunes!  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast</a></li> <li>Order <em>God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon.<em>  <a href="https://amzn.to/32lYSgh" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/32lYSgh</a></em></li> <li>Order Meghan’s book <em>The Bible Unwrapped</em> on Amazon. <a href="https://amzn.to/31plYDu" rel="noopener"><em>https://amzn.to/31plYDu</em></a></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Read the Discovery Series booklet <em>The Greatest Story Ever Told.</em> <a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/the-greatest-story-ever-told/" rel="noopener"><em>https://discoveryseries.org/courses/the-greatest-story-ever-told/</em></a></li> <li>Elisa’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/" rel="noopener">elisamorganauthor</a></li> <li>Eryn’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/" rel="noopener">eryneddy</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned in Show: </p> <ul> <li>Syrophoenecian woman: Matthew 15:21–28  <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+15%3A21-28&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+15%3A21-28&amp;version=NIV</a></li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Whether it’s a big move, the end of an important relationship, or a child going off to school, we have all experienced transition. On this episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Eryn and Elisa host author Amy Boucher Pye and discuss how God led her through a major life transition of her own. And through Amy’s experience, there may be some helpful ideas for the rest of us for the next time we enter a season of transition.</p> <p>Bio of guest: </p> <p>Amy Boucher Pye is a writer and speaker and an American living in London. She writes devotional thoughts for several publications including <em>Our Daily Bread</em> and is the author of the award-winning <em>Finding Myself in Britain</em> and <em>The Living Cross</em>.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>“We as Americans are so isolated about the reality of our global church.”</li> <li>“I knew that my calling was not my work. But, oh boy, when you’re not working you’re like ‘who am I, and where is God?’”</li> <li>“As women . . . we mistake roles for identity, and it gets really confusing. You have to remember who you are, and how God sees you. Realize that my identity is not the role, the role was a place I was invited to serve. ”</li> <li>“During the tender times when stresses and insecurities are high, make sure your relationship with God is very solid.” </li> <li>“Pray and ask God for friends, but then also do your part in that. Sometimes it’s making a plan or joining a crafting group.”</li> <li>“One of the best pieces of advice I have been given is to ‘invest by owing.’ Instead of being the answer woman, invite somebody else to help you. Then somebody else is going to feel valued and necessary; and you will have a beautiful, mutual exchange. ”</li> <li>“Sometimes we have to relinquish something so God can give it back in another way.”</li> <li>Note: Though I walk through _____, God is with me.</li> <li>“All of us are in transition, where things we depend on are stripped away.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had one of <em>those</em> days? Or even one of <em>those</em> weeks? We’ve all been there. Join us this week on <em>God Hears Her</em> as Eryn and Elisa discuss emotions and a way to process hard feelings with God. </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li><em>Feelings are neither right or wrong, feelings inform us.</em> —Ann Voskamp</li> <li>“I can come to Him, or I can’t. I get to choose that, right? But grace is always there. It is always present. It is not forced upon us, but it is always there.”</li> <li>“Jesus doesn’t do life alone. He is in relationship with the Father and Spirit.”</li> <li>“Sometimes I struggle with feeling like I have to be put together in order to come to Him.”</li> <li>“Write down those ugly, shameful feelings and look at them. Not as an Instagram caption, but as a sacred moment, alone. Then admit and accept where you are, and surrender that to God. Evaluate your life choices: Are they bringing you closer to or farther away from God? And then set reminders to live in God’s truth.”</li> <li>“I think that’s the biggest thing with feelings and faith: Sometimes we think they can’t be in tandem. They can’t live together.”</li> <li>“Breathe Prayer: Lord, guide me to the wise path that protects my heart for the purposes you have for me. Use me to honor what you want me to know: that I am loved, that I need work, that I am called to a greater purpose you have for me, and that I don’t need to be scared of my ‘messy.’ But help me to recognize the messy and give it over to you. I love you, Jesus. Amen.”</li> <li>When our feelings are messy, it’s so important to tell someone, because we can lean in on their faith when our faith isn’t there.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><em><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-11-faith-and-feelings" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></em></li> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener"><em>God Hears Her</em> website</a></li> <li><a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-applemusic" rel="noopener">Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating on iTunes! </a></li> <li><em><a href="https://amzn.to/2Tp0O3S" rel="noopener">Order God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women </a></em></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2011:28-29&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Matthew 11:28–29 NIV</a> <em>Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

        <![CDATA[<p>Have you ever had one of <em>those</em> days? Or even one of <em>those</em> weeks? We’ve all been there. Join us this week on <em>God Hears Her</em> as Eryn and Elisa discuss emotions and a way to process hard feelings with God. </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li><em>Feelings are neither right or wrong, feelings inform us.</em> —Ann Voskamp</li> <li>“I can come to Him, or I can’t. I get to choose that, right? But grace is always there. It is always present. It is not forced upon us, but it is always there.”</li> <li>“Jesus doesn’t do life alone. He is in relationship with the Father and Spirit.”</li> <li>“Sometimes I struggle with feeling like I have to be put together in order to come to Him.”</li> <li>“Write down those ugly, shameful feelings and look at them. Not as an Instagram caption, but as a sacred moment, alone. Then admit and accept where you are, and surrender that to God. Evaluate your life choices: Are they bringing you closer to or farther away from God? And then set reminders to live in God’s truth.”</li> <li>“I think that’s the biggest thing with feelings and faith: Sometimes we think they can’t be in tandem. They can’t live together.”</li> <li>“Breathe Prayer: Lord, guide me to the wise path that protects my heart for the purposes you have for me. Use me to honor what you want me to know: that I am loved, that I need work, that I am called to a greater purpose you have for me, and that I don’t need to be scared of my ‘messy.’ But help me to recognize the messy and give it over to you. I love you, Jesus. Amen.”</li> <li>When our feelings are messy, it’s so important to tell someone, because we can lean in on their faith when our faith isn’t there.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><em><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-11-faith-and-feelings" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></em></li> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener"><em>God Hears Her</em> website</a></li> <li><a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-applemusic" rel="noopener">Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating on iTunes! </a></li> <li><em><a href="https://amzn.to/2Tp0O3S" rel="noopener">Order God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women </a></em></li> </ul> <p>Verses Mentioned In Show: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2011:28-29&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Matthew 11:28–29 NIV</a> <em>Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

        <![CDATA[<p>During this week’s episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Vivian Mabuni admits that as an American of Asian descent, she’s struggled to fit in, and this reality leads to a conversation on diversity, inclusion, and healing. From understanding terms like “microaggression” to walking us through how to be a good friend to someone who’s hurting, this is a conversation about how God intended us to love others, even those who are different from us.</p> <p>Guest Bio: </p> <p>Vivian Mabuni is a teacher and uses the platforms of writing, speaking, and podcasting to encourage women to find the abundant life Christ offers within the good and bad of life. Her battle with cancer led her to see God as present and faithful, even when life is not working out the way she expected. She wants people to know that following Jesus is not a pain-free and smooth journey, but it is still rich and good! Her newest book is titled <em>Open Hands Willing Heart: Discover the Joy of Saying Yes to God.</em></p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>Microaggression: An othering; it separates us. According to <em>Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary</em>, a microaggression is “a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group.”</li> <li>“I have been on a journey, really, and some of it has been learning to actually embrace and celebrate my ethnic heritage because most of my life I spent trying to fit in.”</li> <li>Here’s a kind way to ask a person of a different ethnic background about themselves:  “Will you share with me your ethnic heritage?” Also, learn your own ethnic heritage so you can contribute to the conversation.</li> <li>“American does not mean ‘white,’ and we tend to start to think that is the normal; and that is not necessarily normal. It’s its own experience.”</li> <li>There is a strong rooting that takes place when we understand who we are and where we are from.</li> <li>God intends for us to live in unity, but unity is not uniformity. </li> <li>“I am not going to let what would be injustice, impact my character.”</li> <li>“Instead of segregating our offerings into little cliques, which is so difficult, can we be more intentional of being inclusive?”</li> <li>How to help a friend who is healing: “To be a good friend, don’t offer advice. The present of presence just goes so much further.”</li> <li>We all heal differently, and learning to be a gracious receiver is hard. We need to be respectful that each of us handles suffering differently.</li> </ul> <p>Links/Books/Resources Mentioned In Show: </p> <p> </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-09-vivian-mabuni" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><a href="https://discovertheword.org/series/open-hands-willing-heart/" rel="noopener"><em>Discover the Word</em> series with Vivian: “Open Hands Willing Heart</a>”</li> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener"><em>God Hears Her</em> website</a></li> <li><a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-applemusic" rel="noopener">Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating on iTunes! </a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2Tp0O3S" rel="noopener">Order</a> <em><a href="https://amzn.to/2Tp0O3S" rel="noopener">God Sees Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</a></em></li> <li><a href="http://www.vivianmabuni.com/someday-is-here" rel="noopener">Vivians’s Podcast: <em>Someday is Here</em></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Open-Hands-Willing-Heart-Discover/dp/073529173X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1542139203&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=open+hands+willing+heart&amp;dpID=41Fonkuy6YL&amp;preST=_SY344_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&amp;dpSrc=srch" rel="noopener">Vivian’s Book: <em>Open Hands Willing Heart</em></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Warrior-Pink-Cancer-Community-Comforts/dp/1572938420/ref=sr_1_2?crid=33SBEAASJAFQN&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=vivian+mabuni&amp;qid=1591814485&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=vivian+mabun%2Caps%2C162&amp;sr=1-2" rel="noopener">Vivian’s Book: <em>Warrior in Pink</em></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Just-Mercy-Story-Justice-Redemption/dp/081298496X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=bryan+stevenson+just+mercy&amp;qid=1591813610&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener">Bryan Stevenson’s Book: <em>Just Mercy</em></a></li> </ul> <p> </p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Show Summary:</p> <p>Feeling unseen, unheard, and invisible is something many of us struggle with. In this week’s episode of <em>God Hears Her,</em> Robert Gelinas describes overcoming feelings of being invisible and introduces us to Hagar and the God who sees and hears her and us. </p> <p>Guest Bio: </p> <p>Robert Gelinas deeply desires to see the body of Christ united and empowered to serve the poor and the poor in spirit; the miserable and the marginalized; the disabled and those deemed unimportant. Robert is the pastor of Colorado Community Church and the author of several books including his most recent, <em>Discipled by Jesus</em>.

        <![CDATA[<p>Show Summary:</p> <p>How would you describe the perfect friend? Have you ever thought to ask yourself, “Am I friendable?” In this week’s episode of <em>God Hears Her</em>, Elisa and Eryn share tips and experiences that can help us find, and become, better friends. </p> <p>Notes and Quotes: </p> <ul> <li>Regarding friendship: “I think instead of looking for that 24-7, I think we need to learn to <em>be</em> it. I call that being friendable—that I am open to a friend by being a friend to others.”</li> <li>Friend tip: You have to know your own story.</li> <li>Asking other people their story. Use the elevator analogy when asking someone their story. Get in the elevator, but allow them to choose what floor they are going to. Instead of pushing and probing, let it be open-ended and allow the person you asked to decide what floor, or level, they would like to get off at.</li> <li>Let the vulnerability lay in the lap of the person you are trying to befriend.</li> <li>Kill the competition. Look in the mirror and ask yourself if you can be happy and confident in what God is doing in your life instead of comparing your life to what He’s doing in the lives of others. </li> <li>Be open to finding friends in unexpected places. </li> <li>“We are wired for connection and friendship; and I think that God listens, and He wants to provide us friends that can meet us there.”</li> <li>Don’t be afraid to ask God, “Hey, will you bring me a friend?” or “Hey, will you make me more friendable?”</li> <li>“I think there is something different that God has provided for us by providing Jesus. It is a kind of a friendship—it’s a spiritual friendship—but it’s a companion.”</li> <li>Leaning into God (in the areas we look for fulfillment from a friend) can protect our friendships and in turn make us closer friends with God.</li> </ul> <p>Links: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-07-friendable" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><em><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener">God Hears Her</a></em> <a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/">website</a></li> <li><a href="https://go.odb.org/ghh-applemusic" rel="noopener">Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating on iTunes!</a></li> <li><a href="https://donations.ourdailybread.org" rel="noopener">Support the Podcast!</a></li> <li><em><a href="https://odb.org/digital-options/" rel="noopener">Our Daily Bread</a></em></li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/God-Hears-Her-Devotions-Women/dp/1627078711/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&amp;keywords=god+hears+her&amp;qid=1589841075&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-3" rel="noopener">Order <em>God Hears Her: 365 Devotions for Women by Women</em> on Amazon</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses: </p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+15%3A+14-15&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">John 15:14-15 NIV</a> “I have called you friends.”</li> <li><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14%3A16-18&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">John 14:16-18 NIV</a> “I will come to you.”</li> </ul>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Show Summary: </p> <p>God could have designed humans to eat rocks, but instead He created food and gave men and women thousands of taste buds to enjoy it. On this episode of “God Hears Her,” Margaret Feinberg joins the show to talk food, which is really a discussion into the deepest longings of a woman’s heart, and God’s invitation to taste and see that He is good. </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Margaret Feinberg is a podcaster on <em>The</em> <em>Joycast</em>, a speaker, and an author of several books that have sold over a million copies. She was recently named one of <em>Christianity Today</em>’s top 50 women shaping culture and the church. She lives in Utah with her husband, Leif, and their super-pup Hershey. Her recent book is <em>Taste and See: Discovering God Among Butchers, Bakers and Fresh Food Markets</em>.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:  </p> <ul> <li>"Food is God’s love made edible." </li> <li>"God creates the garden with a plethora of food and then gives us thousands of taste buds to enjoy it." </li> <li>"What we really ache for is to know and be known, to love and be loved, and to enter a place where we can be vulnerable and any sense of shame scurries away." </li> <li>"Communities are little mirrors that reflect ourselves back to us." </li> <li>"There are times when I need, through prayer and Scripture, to hear God’s love for me.  And there are other times, for that to really take root, I need to hear it through other humans who are reflecting His glory and His presence." </li> <li>"Social media is a dangerous game because it begins to feel like 'life.'

        <![CDATA[<p>Show Summary: </p> <p>God could have designed humans to eat rocks, but instead He created food and gave men and women thousands of taste buds to enjoy it. On this episode of “God Hears Her,” Margaret Feinberg joins the show to talk food, which is really a discussion into the deepest longings of a woman’s heart, and God’s invitation to taste and see that He is good. </p> <p>About Our Guest:</p> <p>Margaret Feinberg is a podcaster on <em>The</em> <em>Joycast</em>, a speaker, and an author of several books that have sold over a million copies. She was recently named one of <em>Christianity Today</em>’s top 50 women shaping culture and the church. She lives in Utah with her husband, Leif, and their super-pup Hershey. Her recent book is <em>Taste and See: Discovering God Among Butchers, Bakers and Fresh Food Markets</em>.</p> <p>Notes and Quotes:  </p> <ul> <li>"Food is God’s love made edible." </li> <li>"God creates the garden with a plethora of food and then gives us thousands of taste buds to enjoy it." </li> <li>"What we really ache for is to know and be known, to love and be loved, and to enter a place where we can be vulnerable and any sense of shame scurries away." </li> <li>"Communities are little mirrors that reflect ourselves back to us." </li> <li>"There are times when I need, through prayer and Scripture, to hear God’s love for me.  And there are other times, for that to really take root, I need to hear it through other humans who are reflecting His glory and His presence." </li> <li>"Social media is a dangerous game because it begins to feel like 'life.' But when words come from a person, in person, they are more meaningful and life-changing." </li> <li>"If you want to have community, you have to build it, often out of nothing." </li> <li>"If we want to be seen, we may have to open our eyes and see first. If we want to be heard, we have to become people who are really great listeners." </li> <li>"The deepest hungers of your heart are uniquely designed to be met first and foremost by God. Jesus really is the One who can speak the syllables you most need to hear." </li> <li>"Reach out to meet others’ needs; and as you love them and bring joy to them, you’ll find some of your needs met too." </li> <li>"Choose good people: life-giving, Jesus-loving, makes-you-laugh-until-tears-run-down- your-cheeks-and-other-places kind of people."</li> </ul> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/podcast/episode-04-taste-and-see" rel="noopener">Show Notes on godhearsher.org</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.godhearsher.org/" rel="noopener"><em>God Hears Her</em> website</a></li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&amp;utm_medium=godhearsher&amp;utm_campaign=podcast" rel="noopener">Share the love by giving this episode a 5-star rating!</a></li> <li><a href="https://amzn.to/2VGCsTS" rel="noopener">Get your copy of Margaret Feinberg’s book <em>Taste and See</em> on Amazon</a></li> <li><a href="https://discoveryseries.org/courses/open-hearts-open-homes/" rel="noopener">Free e-booklet: <em>Open Hearts, Open Homes</em></a></li> <li><em><a href="https://odb.org/" rel="noopener">Our Daily Bread</a></em> <a href="https://odb.org/" rel="noopener">website</a></li> </ul> <p>Verses: </p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+13%3A21+&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Hebrews 13:21 NIV</a> “We are called, equipped, and chosen.” </p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+29%3A11&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Jeremiah 29:11 NIV</a> “Plan and a future”</p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+2%3A10+&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Ephesians 2:10 NIV</a> “Appointed good works for me to do”</p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+8%3A38+&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">Romans 8:38 NIV</a> “I am loved by God.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2++Corinthians+10+&amp;version=NIV" rel="noopener">2 Corinthians 10 NIV</a> “Take every thought captive.”</p> <p> </p>]]>
