We are all in desperate need of the grace of God. Rahab's life was a beautiful example of how to not just humbly receive God's grace, but fully live in the freedom of His Grace.
What is a leap of faith? In this episode, Danielle reflects on Rahab's leap of faith while understanding that true faith comes in the midst of doubt.
In this week's episode, Danielle discuss God's relentless pursuit over Rahab and how she was chosen not because of her past, but in spite of her past.
Rahab was stuck in the "space between," but that didn't stop her from keeping her eyes open to the possibility of something more.
In this short breakout session, Danielle discusses what the Bible says about true success and how to set make your earthly goals, heavenly goals.
Danielle and Amy discuss social media. It is easy to get wrapped up in a portrayal of reality and actually miss the real life you are living.
We look back on Miriam's life and see that although it was fully of hardship, God rescued her, she surrendered, and became a survivor.
Miriam challenged God and was punished because of her pride. However, God's grace overflows even in punishment.
Miriam was a prophetess who was not scared to step up into her leadership role in the Exodus of Egypt. She also never forgot to thank the Lord-celebrating Him with dancing and song. Do you remember to praise the Lord daily?
This week Danielle discusses the quicksand experience of feeling like you are stuck. After Moses fled Egypt, Miriam along with all the Israelites would spend 40 years stuck in slavery.
Miriam was just a child when God called her to act in a big way. He was preparing her for a larger role later. How has God prepared you?
This week's episode explores the midwives Shiphrah and Puah and the impact their one small act of obedience had on the nation of Israel.
Join Danielle, Amy, Amanda, and their best friend Katie as they explore the meaning behind Proverbs 27:17. What does it mean for "iron to sharpen iron?"
Danielle welcomes guest host, Amanda Harris, as they discuss being a Canvas for Christ to create a masterpiece. Although, the painting may not be our idea of perfection, we are beautiful and perfectly placed to live out our calling for HIM.
Danielle and Amy discuss the significance of the palm of Deborah as well as the palm throughout scripture. They encourage woman to arise as tall and upright as palm tree, bearing much for Christ in the vocation He has called you.
Amy and Danielle discuss the husband of Deborah, Lappidoth, as they are joined by their own husbands, Brandon and Derek, to discuss the in and outs of marrying a strong-willed and career-driven woman.
Danielle describes the unexpected actions of a woman named Jael. Will you be ready to arise when God calls you?
Amy and Danielle go through the story of Deborah in Judges 4 and discover a long list of jobs and qualities Deborah held. However, she didn't let her long list of accolades define her purpose in life.
Danielle and Amy kickoff their second series with the only female judge ever mentioned in the Bible, Deborah. They discuss the background of Israel during the time of judges and the significance Deborah's name and calling.
Danielle welcomes guest host Amanda Harris as they discuss the comparison game that has existed since Biblical times. The two discuss how we can combat comparison by focusing on each other's strengths as well as our own for the glory of God.
Amy and Danielle reflect on the book of Esther reminding one another that God is for us all and He wins in the end!
Amy and Danielle discuss how Esther does a quick turn around from meek and obedient to making a request of vengeance. It is so easy to go from 0mph to 50mph. What are the consequences and how can we stop ourselves?
Esther prays first and then obeys. Can you fully obey God if you are too worried about yourself? Humble obedience requires full submission to God daily.
Amy and Danielle welcome guest host Amanda Harris as the three discuss the meaning "for such a time as this." We all have a "for such a time as this" moment, do you notice it?
Like Esther, we all must go through some suffering/waiting in order to fulfill God's purpose, but do we focus too much on the pain that we miss God's blessings?
Danielle and Amy discuss the atrributes of the Proverbs 31 Woman. They reveal the main qualities that are often overlooked, but are the most mentioned in the passage.
