Today, Amy is joined by a friend and Athey Creek mom to talk about these dangerous teachings and how they have crept in and influenced many women.

In this episode, we explore how our outward expression has a great effect on the world around us.

Today, Amy discusses a sneaky counterfeit found in popular mindfulness and New Thought practices that are NOT biblical. Watch out!

In this episode, Amy is joined by Olivia Watt for a conversation about dating culture. From societal pressures to the contrasting messages between worldly norms and Christian values, they unpack what it really means to navigate singleness in a godly way. What does it look like to honor God and be content in singleness while desiring marriage?

Maybe it's something serious or maybe a bit more peculiar, but we all have things that we fear. In our March 2025 Devoted Live, we examine the topic of fear to see what Scripture says about being afraid and the type of fear we should cultivate in our lives. (Note: This episode may sound a little different because it is a recording from our monthly teaching called Devoted Live.)

Today, Amy is joined by Betsy, who shares how God has set her free! Sexual sin and pornography are not just "guy" problems but can be something that Satan uses to shame and lie to God's daughters.

We're getting REALLY practical today. This podcast stemmed from a question from some high school gals about practical things for gals who desire to walk in their God-given design and our calling to glorify the Lord. But this isn't just for high-schoolers! We can all benefit from ideas on how to practically walk in godliness with contentment.

"He drew me out of the miry bog from the pit and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure" (Psalm 40:2). Alcoholism wreaks havoc in our culture and in many women's lives. Pam Alarcon joins Amy today to talk about how the Lord is with her and that she is redeemed and continues to walk with her.

Today marks the beginning of a series called “Sharing His Story,” where Amy will introduce different women who share the story HE has written about their lives. These episodes will be sprinkled throughout the year, and we will kick it off with Amy sharing what the Lord has done in her life!

“and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.” Eph 5:10–11The need to keep our discernment engaged can feel exhausting sometimes. But, the Word is clear. Today, Amy encourages us that whether it's a song, a Super Bowl ad, or a conversation with a friend, we have to allow God's Word to inform us of what's true, not the world.

Hey ladies! Our podcast is on a break for the month of December, but here is a replay of our November 2024 Devoted Live, where Amy McReynolds is joined by Rita Dubenko, Janna Cochran, Sharon Fox, and Kim Wood for a Q&A session. As they address a myriad of topics that cover everything from relationships to practical Christian living to parenting and time management, we gain valuable insights on how we can be women devoted to God and His Word.

Throughout history, people have asked, 'Who am I?'—a question we still grapple with as women today. In our September 2024 Devoted Live study, we'll explore Colossians 2:2-5 to discover who God says we are and how we should live in light of this truth. References:2 Corinthians 12:9; Genesis 1:27; John 1:12; Genesis 3:5-6; Colossians 2:1-10; Colossians 2:6-7; Psalm 119:105; Galatians 5:16; Galatians 5:22-25; Psalm 1:3; Jeremiah 17:7-8; Jeremiah 17:6; Mark 4; Mark 4:16-17; 1 Peter 2:5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; Ephesians 4:29; 2 Timothy 4:1-4; Colossians 2:8; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 2 Timothy 3:7 AMP; 1 Timothy 6:20; 1 Timothy 4:16; 1 John 2:5-6; Deuteronomy 32:4; John 1:1; Zephaniah 3:17; 1 John 1:5; Psalm 86:5; Isaiah 40:28; Isaiah 44:6; Malachi 3:6; Isaiah 26:3-4 Resources:Devoted Live Video Teaching https://atheycreek.com/teachings/w-d-31 Episode 169: Identity - “Who am I?” https://open.spotify.com/episode/3NLswc8oHx4QyLl4l15c7C?si=rLHLu2BhSS6CaYEig_acfQ Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.comwomen@atheycreek.comhttps://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

"For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, "in returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." - Isaiah 30:15. This is the final episode in our World vs. Word series! The world LONGS for rest, and so do we, but the prescriptive is different. Today, Amy looks at the world's answer to Me-Time and how the Bible would help us find rest.

We live in a quotable “Hallmark” world that tells us our emotions are the most important. Today, Amy looks at how the world champions our emotions and what the Word says about our hearts. References:Hebrews 10:25; Psalm 27:4; Psalm 150:6; Proverbs 3:5-6;Hebrews 13:15; Psalm 42:11; Jeremiah 17:9-10; Ezekiel 36:26; Proverbs 4:23; Psalm 51:10; Psalm 119:11; Matthew 5:8 Resources:Defined by Design Study Guide: https://gear.atheycreek.com/product/defined-by-design-a-study-on-biblical-womanhood/285?cs=true&cst=custom Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.comwomen@atheycreek.comhttps://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

Here's when we gals love to share ALL the drama, but what does the Word remind and command us to do in this area? Lots of scripture here to steer us in the right direction. References: Proverbs 15:4; Colossians 4:6; Proverbs 15:1-2; Proverbs 16:23-24; James 1:26; James 3:1-12; Ephesians 4:29; Colossians 3:8; Proverbs 20:19; Psalm 34:13; Titus 3:1-2; Proverbs 18:8; Proverbs 26:20; 1 Timothy 5:13; 1 John 1:9; Psalm 141:3; Colossians 4:6 Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.comwomen@atheycreek.comhttps://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

What does the Word say about us being the boss? Today Amy looks at the phrase but also the heart behind this line of thinking. How can we think biblically about the "work" we do? References:Colossians 3:23; Genesis 1:27-28; Genesis 3:16-19; Luke 8:2-3; Proverbs 31:10-31; 1 Timothy 2:11-13; Colossians 3:18-21; Ephesians 22:24; Judges 4; Philippians 2:3-8; Luke 6:45 “Christianity teaches righteousness, not rights. It emphasizes honor, not equality.

The world has taken a subjective phrase and moved it to the objective -- "You do YOU." Today Amy looks at ways that this phrase has affected us culturally and how it is antithetical to the Gospel.

We love to control things and, in the end, it likely comes down to our understanding of authority and whether we are truly submitted to God and His Word. Today we will look at how phrases like "I write my own story" or "I am the architect of my destiny" measure up against the truth of God's Word. References:“Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.” 1 Chronicles 29:11 Jeremiah 9:23-24; James 4:7; Ephesians 5:21-22; 1 Peter 5:5; Hebrews 13:17; Ephesians 5:24; John 5:19; Romans 8:7; Romans 8:28; Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 115:3; Proverbs 16:9; Psalm 119:25; Romans 12:2 Resources:Mike Winger Biblethinker.org Women In Ministry - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuBtpJlwi7F5JYw3N5pKyLC Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.comwomen@atheycreek.comhttps://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

The world says "Love is love" but without a source of truth in their definition, there has been a domino effect on culture and marriage. Today Amy looks at what the Bible says love actually is and why marriage is actually a really big deal. References:“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9, 18; Hebrews 13:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5; Ephesians 5:3; Galatians 5:19; Colossians 3:5-6; Psalm 119:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:22-23; Genesis 2:24; Romans 13:1-2; Ephesians 2:20; Matthew 6:21; Mark 10:9; 1 Peter 4:8; Ephesians 5:22-33; 1 John 1:9 Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.comwomen@atheycreek.comhttps://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

This episode is the first in an 8-part series where we will be taking a world statement and running it through the sieve of scripture. The world says “It's all about you”, but the Word says, "He must increase, I must decrease." (John 3:30) References:Proverbs 31:30; 2 Timothy 2:21; Romans 6:23: Romans 3:23; Romans 8:31; Philippians 2:3-8; Matthew 16:24-25; Colossians 3:23; James 4:10; Proverbs 15:33 Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.comwomen@atheycreek.comhttps://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

We need to keep our discernment muscle strong. Music, movies, books, yoga—there is so much that we need to discern what is good and get rid of what is evil. Today, Amy and Becca work through some scripture on discernment and some practical examples. References:Hebrews 5:14; James 1:5; James 3:15: James 4:17; Proverbs 1:7; Psalm 119:37,66; Psalm 143:8; Philippians 1:9-11; 1 Kings 3:9; Hebrews 10:22 Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.comwomen@atheycreek.comhttps://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

Be encouraged by some practical tips and scripture to take to the fight. References: Colossians 1:9-11; James 3:15; Ephesians 6:12; James 4:7: Psalm 91:1-9 1 John 4:4 "Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."

Part of our bite-sized encouragement from the Word series. Today Amy talks about a Biblical take on complaining. Verses:Philippians 4:6-7 “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” I Thessalonians 5:18 “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.comwomen@atheycreek.comhttps://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

"Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!" Psalm 34:8 Today, in our Bible Bite episode, Amy looks at the phrase, “Redeeming the time.” What does this mean practically and Biblically? How are you spending your time?

In this episode, we are replaying a Devoted Live, which is Athey Women's monthly meeting. Women are constantly inundated with messages from the world telling us that we must be flawless and noticed for our physical looks, known for something significant, and that our voices must be heard to achieve inner peace and happiness. In our April 2024 Devoted Live, Amy contrasts these things the world screams at us with what the Bible says about how we are seen, known, and heard by God as we fulfill the role He has given us as women.

In this episode, we've recorded one of our monthly meetings called Devoted Live. Amy spends some time in Judges 4, where we meet a remarkable woman named Deborah - but who she is and what role she really plays in helping to defend Israel has been widely misinterpreted within our feministic culture. In our February 2024 Devoted Live, we dig in to see what the Bible actually says about Deborah and how she is a beautiful model of what God created women to be.
