Today on the show, I get to talk to my friend—and one of our spiritual mothers and mentors—Beth Moore. We talk about her experience with her surgeries and recoveries last year and learning how to 100% lean on the Lord, and what it looks like to grow with God and sit with Him everyday. Plus, we got to talk about her new study: Walking with God. She's created this study to help us understand what it looked like to walk with God in different eras of Scripture. It's fascinating. I think this conversation is SO helpful as we start talking about the small, daily habits we can lean into this year to increase our spiritual strength. . . . . .

Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method You know what changes everything? When spiritual practices shift from duties we think we owe God to rhythms that help us encounter Him in our everyday, ordinary, and imperfect lives. That's the transformation we'll explore together in today's episode. I gathered practical wisdom from Beth Moore, Sheila Walsh, Pete Greig, Havilah Cunnington, and Mark Batterson—voices who live what they teach. We discuss real ways to recognize God's voice, pray boldly, engage Scripture deeply, and notice His presence in everyday moments—even the blurriest ones. Spiritual growth isn't a performance. It's a relationship—a faithful choice to show up, lean in, and build habits that make space for God already inviting you closer. Let these conversations inspire you and reveal how possible it is to build a life rooted in spiritual practices that truly connect you to God.

Following God does not always mean understanding God. In fact, following God can lead us away from comfort, conformity, and communities we once loved. Few people are living that story more authentically than my guest Nancy French. She is a New York Times bestselling ghostwriter who has a dramatic story of her very own. Nancy has been abused and alienated by the people she trusted most, yet she's continued to show up to her life and to the good/hard work God has for her.I adore this woman and the way she's navigating the complex landscape of her life. In our conversation, she was so generous to share how she's reconciling loving God more than ever even when the church confuses her, how she's pursuing unity with people who see the world differently, and how she's raising resilient kids.

Have you ever been scared while waiting for answers — and your mind went straight to the worst? Stop scrolling — if you're scared while waiting for answers, you are NOT alone. When you're stuck in the uncertain times — between what you feel and what you hope — the waiting becomes the hardest part. If that's you, don't click away — stay with us for the first 60 seconds. This episode is part of a globally streamed, 5-star Christian show with listeners in 16+ countries, recognized as one of the top Christian women's podcasts for real faith and real-life conversation. In this raw mother-daughter conversation, Chosen By Jesus hosts Kelley and Taylor Tyan talk openly about the emotional and spiritual battle that happens in the waiting — especially when fear, symptoms, tests, or unanswered questions leave you imagining the worst instead of expecting God's best. If your family has faced difficult medical seasons, the waiting hits different. Even when it could be anything, your mind goes back to what you've survived before. Experience shapes fear — even when faith is present. But waiting does not mean God is silent — or absent. Waiting is the place where trust becomes oxygen. ______ Inside This Episode • How to stay grounded when your mind won't stop racing • Why waiting hurts emotionally + spiritually • What to do when fear feels louder than Scripture • Why God develops faith before delivering answers • How to shift from panic → holy expectation ______ Scriptures Referenced Psalm 37:7 • Isaiah 60:22 • Habakkuk 2:3 • Psalm 27:14 • Galatians 6:9 • Romans 8:28 ______ Prayer God, we give You every unknown, every fear, every result, and every outcome. Teach us to wait with peace instead of panic, hope instead of dread, and trust instead of control. Be louder than fear. Be nearer than worry. Be our peace in the waiting.

The ERLC's Psalm 139 Project is an incredible initiative that places ultrasound machines in pregnancy centers, giving vulnerable mothers a window into the womb so they can see the precious lives growing within them. And now, through a new initiative of the Psalm 139 Project called "Across State Lines," Southern Baptist individuals, churches, state conventions, and other entities can work together to extend pro-life ministry from conservative states into abortion-permissible states where the need is great. On today's episode, you'll hear from Beth Moore, Compassion Ministries Specialist for the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board, about how Tennessee Baptists are living this out by promoting a culture of life in their state and beyond. Since 2022, they've helped place 14 ultrasound machines in pregnancy centers across Tennessee. They're currently offering life-saving care and the hope of the gospel by partnering with others to help fund an ultrasound placement in Vermont, where abortion is much more accessible.Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.
SUMMARY: -Guest, Dr. Janelle Martin, author of “Losing Her, Finding Us,” shares the parent perspective of a child's addiction, alongside her daughter Reagan's perspective. These dual perspectives (parent and child) in one narrative to validate parents' feelings, reduce isolation, and offer hope and clarity. -Janelle sought real-life accounts over “how-to” guides to understand others' emotions, thoughts, and experiences during a child's addiction. -A robust parent program at The Pathway Program (Phoenix) connected her with other parents; weekly meetings were pivotal to feeling safe, seen, and not judged. -She pursued her own recovery (sponsor and 12 steps) to understand her daughter's world and to have informed conversations—an unexpectedly life-changing step. -Like grief groups, parent recovery support equips, reframes expectations, reduces isolation, and fosters compassion. -Many programs offer family weekends or encourage Al-Anon/Nar-Anon; walking into meetings is hard but profoundly helpful. -Addiction is widely misjudged as “bad people making bad choices.” Families can look “normal.” Judgment and silence fuel isolation. -Divorce, parental conflict, and manipulation by Reagan's father harmed both children; Reagan felt unloved relative to her brother and experienced sexual abuse at age five (disclosed later). -God's guidance felt evident in finding The Pathway Program and a tough, effective counselor for Reagan; long-term approach (2–2.5 years) was crucial. -Scripture study, worship, prayer, and teachings (notably Beth Moore) sustained her; she experienced divine provision (finances, people, peace) throughout. -Not all counselors understand addiction—seek specialists; forcing counseling rarely works without willingness. -Post-sobriety, mother and daughter had raw conversations, apologies, and interviews for the book, deepening empathy and respect. -“Losing Her, Finding Us” is a raw, hopeful, page-turning narrative for parents, loved ones, and anyone seeking compassion, practical insights (boundaries, hard decisions), and resources. -Janelle leads Parents of Addicted Loved Ones (PAL) meetings in Houston on Wednesdays at 7 PM—free, ongoing, and transformative for parents. -Addiction happens to everyday families. Seek support, cultivate compassion, and learn how to be a helpful ally. There are people ready to take your hand. -Resources mentioned were Al-Anon, Nar-Anon, Celebrate Recovery, PAL, and long-term adolescent/young adult programs. PODCAST INTRO: As my guest Janelle Martin shares, addiction affects normal people. I personally think there is no boundary that addiction won't cross. Mainly because when we use a substance to alleviate pain, find escape, dull our feelings; plain and simple … it works. Janelle learned this (addiction affects normal people) and countless other things associated with addiction when it came to light that her daughter Regan was using in order to cope with parental heartbreak, trauma and the overwhelm that it brought to her life. Janelle's journey through addiction from the parent's perspective began with fear, grief, and the heavy stigma that so often hushes families. She grew up believing addiction happened to “other people,” until it shattered her own home. What followed was a crash course in letting go, setting hard boundaries, and grieving the loss of shared memories, milestones (specifically her senior year because it all came to a head at that time)—so she didn't go to the prom, she did not graduate with her class and nor did she get to enjoy all the ways that celebration culminates after 12 years of schooling. Janette found herself missing the simple joy of “normal.” A turning point came through community. While Reagan entered a long-term adolescent recovery program in Arizona, Janelle found that this recovery program also had a parent group that met weekly—there is such incredible value in finding people who understand without explanation. Encouraged to “work her own recovery,” she got a sponsor and worked the 12 steps, not because Janelle had a substance problem, but her greatest desire was to see her daughter healed so this was how she could meet her daughter where she was. The 12 step process unexpectedly transformed Janelle's life. Faith sustained her. She cried out to the Lord, tearfully lamenting in her car. At work she'd be the only one in the office so she would play worship music and she would cry. She'd take long walks with Beth Moore teachings in her earbuds and she would cry—she found strength, provision, and practical help in places only God could have orchestrated. As an example, she knew nothing about how to address addiction, and she certainly knew nothing about how to begin recovery and yet from a random google search she found the perfect facility and was matched with the right counselor that could work with her daughter in a productive way. Also, being able to afford her daughter's treatment and the opportunity to travel to see her a few times, funds that were already drained from the divorce and custody battle somehow stretched. Provision met her at every step. Today, Janelle leads meetings for her group, Parents of Addicted Loved Ones. She offers resources and encouragement to families who feel alone. Her message is simple and liberating: addiction happens to ordinary families. You didn't cause it. You can't cure it. But you don't have to walk it alone. If addiction has touched your home—or the home of someone you love—there is help and hope for the journey. You're not alone mainly because Jesus has promised to never leave nor forsake you but He also gives us tangible resources and people who have walked the road we may find ourselves on and they're ready to lock arms, comfort and lead when possible. Let's listen in to discover Janelle's story and how this has changed not only her life…but because of what she's been through and the passion she has to help others, she's changing the lives of countless parents and families.

In this message Terry Timm, we explore the words of the prophet Isaiah, which encourage us to remember our true identity and relationship with God rather than placing trust in materialistic or superficial idols. By examining modern-day prophets like Walter Brueggemann, Beth Moore, and Mako Fujimura, Timm illustrates the ongoing need for prophetic voices that challenge dominant societal and religious idols, reminding the church to return to God and rejoice in God's redemption.

If you've ever wondered what a conversation about Ecclesiastes between Tigger and Eeyore sounds like, it's your lucky day. Watch the full conversation on YouTube In a recent episode, Sho Baraka became the first guest to choose the book of Ecclesiastes for his Desert Island, “5 Books of the Bible” challenge we sometimes end our show with. So it seems fitting that a few weeks later we welcome Beth Moore to talk about the relevance and timeliness of these passages that weep for the seeming futility of the human experience. Together, Russell and Beth begin by exploring the relevance of the book for Christians and non-Christians alike. Then, they go on a free-wheeling exploration of the book including topics like surgeries and abandoned vineyards, Christmas Wig Exchanges, Stephen King, and, amazingly, Creed Bratton (if you know, you know). If you've ever had the thought, "I hate life,” and assumed the Bible was ignorant to the human experience of suffering, listen to hear how God has not only acknowledged the turmoil of our existential strivings, but has actually given us words for it.

In this message from Hello Happier, Beth Moore teaches from Ephesians 4 and 5, reminding us that any God-goodbye is never loss, it's an unblocking of the better life He has for us.Happiness often grows out of gratitude. But there are things that pile up in our lives that must be released: bitterness, anger, offenses, comparison, guilt, stress. Nothing is sweeter than saying good riddance to bitter.Through Scripture and wisdom, Beth challenges us to:Let go of the heaviness that clutters our joyRecognize bitterness as the opposite not only of sweetness, but of kindnessBecome ministers of reconciliation in a divided worldEmbrace the life of grace, gratitude, and peace Jesus calls us to liveScriptures: Ephesians 4:17-5:2, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, 1 Corinthians 13:5, James 3:11, Hebrews 12:15, Ephesians 2:11-22

“Living awake” sounds great when it comes to the beautiful stuff, but it's much harder to live fully awake when the losses and disappointments and heartbreaks won't stop coming. If that sounds like your life, then you need to hear every minute of this conversation with my friend Jess Connolly—pastor, writer, and parent. We talked about how to begin the healing process, recovering from church hurt, parenting teenagers with trust, and finding your place in the kingdom of God.

Our theme for this episode is “Untangling Our Knotted-Up Lives,” and our guest is the author and speaker Beth Moore. Drawing from her bestselling memoir, Beth helps us work through a challenge we all may face at various times: maintaining resilience — and faithfulness to our vocations — in the face of hardship:“I'd come to a point where I thought, oh my goodness, I see this. I get what Jesus is doing here, whatever it might be. I had this compelling to share it, and I have throughout my whole adult life.”This episode is drawn from an online conversation held in 2025. It'll give you a sense of what the Trinity Forum is about: a community of people renewing our culture by applying wisdom from the Christian tradition, and nurturing new growth in it, in our time.

Is unity in the church still possible when everyone is so divided? At the Legacy Conference in Chicago, Beth Moore joins Esau, Kaitlyn, and Skye to wrestle with what it means to remain in community with believers we deeply disagree with. Together they explore why purity tests are dividing Christians online, how cynicism masquerades as wisdom, and why endless outrage is not a productive way to go through life.

In our debut episode of an all-new season, I sat down with my spiritual hero and dear friend Beth Moore to talk about all the creative ways we can walk—or roll!—with God. Beth and I dug into how she's kept a tender heart when life got tough, loving her husband through the valleys of mental illness, and navigating closed doors when pursuing her calling. I will remember this conversation forever. I'm praying our time with Beth encourages you, comforts you, and challenges you to run (or roll) your race well to the very end.What we mentioned:All My Knotted Up Life: A Memoir by Beth Moore - https://a.co/d/5ignBRQEsther: It's Tough Being a Woman Bible Study by Beth Moore - https://store.lproof.org/products/esther-member-bookLetter to My Brothers - https://blog.lproof.org/2018/05/a-letter-to-my-brothers.htmlWalking with God: A Five Week Journey In Step with the Savior by Beth Moore - https://www.tyndale.com/p/walking-with-god/9798400510175Scriptures we referenced:Hebrews 12:1-21 Corinthians 11:1Hebrews 13:7-8Hebrews 6:10Psalm 62:8Acts 14:22John 15:82 Corinthians 6:82 Corinthians 4:8-10More information:For more messages of hope, free resources, and opportunities to connect with me: https://hopeheals.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hard-story-podcast/id1496882479Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0OYz6G9Q2tNNVOX9YSdmFb?si=043bd6b10a664bebWant a little hope in your inbox?

To be audacious in our faith, we must have the nerve to stay in the Word. In Part 2 of the Audacious series, Beth Moore teaches on the holy tension between love and truth, and the courage it takes to stand firmly in both.We were built for fire, and the Word of God is where our fire should come from. In a world pushing us to soften the truth, Beth calls us to hold fast to Scripture, to repentance, to prayer, and to the astonishing work of the Holy Spirit.This is a powerful reminder that we are:Children of God, not slaves to fear.Called to fight for people, not against them.Equipped to stand in the full rights of our daughtership.Invited to boldly ask for the Spirit's power in our day.Scriptures: Hebrews 4:12, 2 John 1-3, Romans 10:17, John 15:7, Acts 4:1-31, Acts 7:51, 54-60, 2 Timothy 3:1, 16-17, Jeremiah 20:9; 23:29, Ephesians 6:10“Audacity is the guts to do it anyway.”Just show up, and He will lead you every step of the way.

Today we're answering the question, “How does nature teach us about the seasons?" I get to talk with my new friend, Rachel G. Jordan. She is a marine biologist and spiritual guide and using the ocean as a lens, she points us to the way God is revealed in biology AND IT IS SO COOL. We're talking about the coral reef, all that we don't know about the ocean, the intelligence of sea creatures, and you're not even ready for the insight she has about Moses crossing the Red Sea. I'm telling you, mind blowing. Rachel has a new book out called If The Ocean Has a Soul, so when this came across my desk you know I was all in. *I also want to note that we had some tech issues in the middle of recording this, so we picked back up on another day because we HAD to finish this conversation* So if you're following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we're on page 83.

In Part 2 of our Woman of God series, Beth Moore leads us through Luke 15, where Jesus describes the joy of finding what was lost- a single sheep, a single coin, a single heart. There is rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents!Beth reminds us that while we may not recover everything exactly as it was, God offers us something new: integrity in place of lost innocence, purity through confession, and joy that multiplies when it's shared with others. “A woman's joy is not the same without girlfriends to share it.”We'll also be challenged to cut out comparison and competition in our female relationships. Instead, let's strive side by side - sunathleo - contending together for the sake of the gospel.Scriptures: Luke 15:1–10, Philippians 2:2, 2 John 1:12, Proverbs 24:17, Philippians 1:27

Send us a textThis week, Rose chose one of her favorite past episodes, that also happened to be one of our most popular episodes ever!

The Jews were threatened then triumphed. How do we understand God's providence in the book of Esther? In today's episode, Emma Dotter helps us understand the plot twist of Esther and the demonstration of God's soverienty, perfect timing, and justice.

On today's program, Calvin Robinson was dismissed by the Anglican Catholic Church earlier this year after making a nazi-like salute at a pro-life summit. This week, another denomination has restored him to service…but not without pushback. We'll have details. The Episcopal Church is ending its partnership with the U.S. after refusing to settle refugees from South Africa. We'll take a look. Plus, long-time Carolina University President Charles Petitt passed away last week. His two-decade tenure transformed the small North Carolina school. First, influential Calvinist pastor has been suspended from his church over multiple fake social media accounts he ran where he criticized pastors and elders in his inner circle. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Bob Smietana, Kathryn Post, Tony Mator, Jack Jenkins, Bruce Barron, Kim Roberts, Shannon Cuthrell, and Christina Darnell. A special thanks to Illinois Baptist and Bruce Barron for contributing material for this week's podcast. Until next time, may God bless you. MANUSCRIPT: FIRST SEGMENT Warren: Hello everybody. I'm Warren Smith, coming to you this week from Charlotte, North Carolina. Natasha: And I'm Natasha Cowden, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and we'd like to welcome you to the MinistryWatch podcast. Warren: On today's program, Calvin Robinson was dismissed by the Anglican Catholic Church earlier this year after making a nazi-like salute at a pro-life summit. This week, another denomination has restored him to service…but not without pushback. We'll have details. And, the Episcopal Church is ending its partnership with the U.S. after refusing to settle refugees from South Africa. We'll take a look. Plus, long-time Carolina University President Charles Petitt passed away last week. His two-decade tenure transformed the small North Carolina school. Natasha: But first, influential Calvinist pastor has been suspended from his church over multiple fake social media accounts he ran where he criticized pastors and elders in his inner circle. Warren: Josh Buice, founder of the G3 Conference and pastor of Pray's Mill Baptist Church in Douglasville, Georgia, was placed on indefinite leave last week after church leaders “uncovered irrefutable evidence that Dr. Buice has, for the past three years, operated at least four anonymous social media accounts, two anonymous email addresses, and two Substack platforms.” According to a statement from the church. “These accounts were used to publicly and anonymously slander numerous Christian leaders, including faithful pastors (some of whom have spoken at G3 conferences), several PMBC elders, and others,” “These actions were not only sinful in nature but deeply divisive, causing unnecessary suspicion and strife within the body of Christ, and particularly within the eldership of PMBC.” Natasha: Buice has also resigned as president of G3, which was founded in 2019 and brought in $2.3 million in revenue for the 2023 calendar year, according to its public IRS financial disclosures. The group grew out of a conference started by Buice in 2013 — the name G3 stands for “Gospel, Grace, Glory.” The group claimed its annual conference drew 6,500 people in 2021, according to the G3 website. Warren: The board of G3 has canceled the group's annual conference, which had been planned for September, and promised full refunds. Natasha: So who was he criticizing? Warren: Buice especially criticized former Southern Baptist ethicist Russell Moore and Bible teacher Beth Moore (not related) for allegedly promoting liberal ideas in the church, as well as former SBC President Ed Litton for alleged sermon plagiarism. He has also apparently been running anonymous social media accounts that criticized other pastors...
What comes out of our mouths reveals what's really going on in our hearts. In this final part of the Living Set Apart series, Beth invites us to examine the motive behind our words, whether it's selfish ambition, flattery, or Spirit-led truth. Wisdom is more than knowing what's right, it's walking with a heart that's been shaped by the Holy Spirit.When we bring our hearts to the Lord, He transforms the way we live, speak, and love."We want to walk enough in the Spirit that we know when the Holy Spirit is convicting us." – Beth MooreKey Scriptures: Matthew 12:34; Jude 1:16; Isaiah 30:10; Romans 2:1–2; Philippians 1:9–11; Psalm 51:10

Beth continues this powerful series by exploring the connection between the heart and the tongue. Drawing from Colossians, Psalms, and Luke, she reminds us that “the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” and nothing shuts down relationships or opportunity faster than a foolish mouth. In a culture of noise and division, followers of Christ must be led by Christ and speak from a place of grace, wisdom, and awareness of God's promises."A hard heart makes all sorts of foolish decisions." - Beth MooreKey Scriptures: Colossians 4:2–6; 1 Corinthians 16:8-9; Luke 6:45; 1 Samuel 16:7; 1 John 3:19-20; Psalm 51:10; Hebrews 9:15; Exodus 4:12; Luke 21:15

What does it really mean to live in community, and how do we do it well in a divided world? Beth opens this series in Colossians 4 by addressing the deep ache we all carry: the need to belong. In a culture fractured by insider/outsider thinking, religious extremism, and harmful fundamentalism, the message of Christ offers something radically different.Being a Jesus follower isn't about fitting someone else's standard, it's about faith in Him.Whether in family, church, or society, we must resist the urge to exclude and instead live from the truth that in Christ, there is no "them", only us."To say, 'you do not belong,' is injurious to the soul." - Beth MooreKey Scriptures: Colossians 4:2–18; Colossians 3:9-11

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “….the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” ~Hebrews 11:6 “This is the center of the gospel – this is what the Garden of Gethsemane and Good Friday are all about – that God has done astonishing and costly things to draw us near.”~John Piper “When we resist God, we draw near to Satan.”~Beth Moore “Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God, the more of God will be seen in you.”~Charles Spurgeon SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 7:11-28 (ESV) 11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is witnessed of him, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” 18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20 And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, 21 but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever.'” 22 This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant. 23 The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. 26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.
Have you ever been delivered by God from a pit? There is no pit He cannot rescue you from. Many stay in bondage simply because they believe they can't get out- but YES, YOU CAN. His grace is sufficient, day after day. Beth unpacks Psalm 18 and reminds us that our most powerful instrument is our tongue and that the enemy targets our vulnerabilities. But no matter how strong the opposition, the King Eternal, Immortal, and Invisible is still the God of the Impossible."A true enemy aims at our vulnerabilities." - Beth MooreKey Scriptures: Psalm 18:17; James 3:9-10; 2 Corinthians 12:6-10; Jeremiah 2:25; Judges 16:20; Romans 8:38-39

We all carry stories. Some smooth over the past, making things easier to bear. Others—the truer ones—break us open. Amy Griffin knows what it’s like to hold a secret so tightly, it starts to define you. As a child, she was sexually assaulted by a teacher—a painful truth she buried for years. But eventually, staying silent became harder than telling the truth. So what happens when the person who spends all their time championing others realizes they need to tell their own story? In this conversation, Kate and Amy talk about: The relentless churn of perfectionism—and what happens when we finally let some of it go How psychedelic-assisted therapy helped Amy unlock long-buried trauma The surprising joy of telling the truth—even when it feels impossible Why healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about learning to carry it differently If you liked this episode, you may also enjoy: Charles Spencer on Confronting the Past Rachel Denhollender on The Pursuit of Justice Our support guide for processing a painful childhood As well as our episodes with Minka Kelly, Beth Moore, Maggie Smith, and Wilma Derksen Watch clips from this conversation, read the full transcript, and access discussion questions by clicking here or visiting katebowler.com/podcasts.

Real love is ignited in rescue. When God saves us, He wants us to know it was Him- our refuge, our fortress, our strength. Sometimes, we don't realize how much we need rescuing until we're pulled from the depths. And sometimes, His "no" is a hidden rescue. Beth continues through Psalm 18, reminding us that security in Christ doesn't mean we'll never need Him- it means we'll always have Him."He listens for us to cry out, and He rescues us." - Beth MooreKey Scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9; Psalm 18:3a, 6a, 16-19; John 10:28; Genesis 1:1-2; Exodus 2:10; 2 Samuel 22:17; Hebrews 12:1-2

Do you feel like you're drowning? Take heart- our God is a rescuer. When we call on Him, He moves. Beth continues unpacking Psalm 18, reminding us that the Creator is never contained by creation and that His pursuit of us is relentless. He will leave the 99 to find the 1- because you are fiercely loved. And when you've been rescued, you know deep down, it wasn't you. It was Him."You have to know you are loved fiercely, or you will not live boldly." – Beth MoorePsalm 18:1-6, 16-19; Genesis 1:1-2; Ephesians 4:30; Luke 15:1-7

Do you ever wonder if God truly delights in you? Beth unpacks the beauty of Psalm 18 and reminds us that it is His joy to rescue us. He doesnt just tolerate you, He delights in you. Not only does God speak through His Word, but He also invites us to see Him through His creation and to use our imaginations in a way that transforms us. "In our wildest imaginations, we can't conceive just how wonderful He is and what He has planned for us." -Beth Moore
