Guest Bio: 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, Single and Not Sorry, was an Amazon bestseller in Dating and Relationships for six weeks. Ellen lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her spicy cat, Rey. Show Summary: 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 God Hears Her conversation about body image. Notes and Quotes: “The biggest lie is that our body is disconnected from God and disconnected from our faith.” —Ellen Wildman “Every part of me is made in God's image, including my body.”—Ellen Wildman “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 “I will never fully be able to accept my body outside of seeing it as God's creation.” —Ellen Wildman “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 “Even those who fit into the ‘ideal' [image] are struggling with the same things.” —Ellen Wildman “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 “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 “The way we see our bodies is important, but it''s not the most important thing.” —Ellen Wildman “Reflecting God is an essential part of who I am. I am made in His image. His living, breathing handiwork.” —Ellen Wildman “God created everything around me, but He only created humans in His image. We are the only thing that He created in His image. Why did He do that? What does He want me to do with that?” —Ellen Wildman “The idea of being at home in your body helps us believe that we are worthy of self-discovery, and we are worthy of feeling at home in our bodies with God's help.” —Ellen Wildman Verses: Luke 8:1-2 Mary Magdalene being healed by Jesus Psalm 4:8 Genesis 1:27 Judges 4:4-5 Judges 5:3 Related Episodes: GHH Ep 24 – When We Feel We Aren't Enough with Laura Smith: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/when-we-feel-we-arent-enough/ GHH Ep 44 – The Comparison Trap with Bree Rostic: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/the-comparison-trap-with-bree-rostic/ GHH Ep 118 – Reimagining Age with Eryn & Elisa: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/reimagining-age/ GHH Ep 125 – Your True Worth with Cassandra Speer: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/your-true-worth/ GHH Ep 167 – Aging Gratefully with Heather Creekmore: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/aging-gratefully/ Links: Already Whole Devotional: https://www.amazon.com/Already-Whole-Devotions-Being-Home-ebook/dp/B0F55RMYZN Ellen Wildman's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellen_wildman_so/ Ellen Wildman's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellen.wildman.16 Unshakable Moxie BOGO Deal: https://go.odb.org/bogoGod Loves Her Devotional: https://a.co/d/7F8R0qCGod Hears Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/godhearsher/?hl=en God Hears Her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GodHearsHer God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191 Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Share Your Story: https://godhearsher.org/share-your-story/ God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191 Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Shop God Hears Her books and resources: https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191 Unshakable Moxie Series: https://read.odb.org/unshakable-moxie/ Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ Vivian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/ Our ...
The Lord Is My Shepherd: Life Is Better This WayText: Psalm 23Main Idea: When Christ is truly your Shepherd, you lack nothing—and life takes on a new peace, purpose, and power.IntroductionThe “Danger” of FamiliaritySteve Farrar calls Psalm 23 one of the most dangerous Psalms because we've grown too familiar with it.Familiarity can dull the meaning and power of God's Word.Fresh Eyes: Today we'll revisit this passage and let it cut through the routine, so it can transform our lives.I. When Christ Is Our Shepherd, Our Desires Shift (Psalm 23:1)Bold Declaration: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”Not just words—this is a life posture.Shift in Desires: No need for worldly success, constant validation, or anxious striving.Reality Check: Many claim Jesus is their foundation but live in panic when trials hit.Sheep Analogy: Sheep are defenseless, prone to filth, and often foolish—completely dependent on their shepherd.Illustration: Sheep in a ditch rescued, then immediately jumping back in—just like us sometimes.Application: Depend fully on the Shepherd; repent quickly when you fail. (James 3:8–10)II. The Danger of Misplaced Expectations (Psalm 23:2–3)In Marriage: Many love transactionally, expecting a “return” for service.When expectations aren't met, frustration leads to anger, bitterness, and destruction.Biblical Order: When Christ is center—peace follows.He leads, restores, guides.III. God Is Not Just Good in Theory—He's Good in Practice (Psalm 23:4)Living Like He's Good:Marriage becomes discipleship, not just maintenance.Parenting becomes shepherding hearts, not just correcting behavior.Church becomes joy, not duty.In Valleys: Life's darkest moments don't bring fear because the Shepherd is near.IV. The Shepherd's Presence Is Our Power (Psalm 23:4–5)Our Limits: We aren't strong, wise, or patient enough—but He is.Order of the Shepherd's Care:He leads, protects, disciplines, prepares, pursues.Discipline as Love: Like a shepherd breaking a wandering sheep's leg to save it.Christ's discipline means you belong to Him (Hebrews 12:6).Knowing His Voice (John 10:24–29): Sheep know the shepherd because they're constantly with Him.V. Final Challenge: Recenter Your Life on Jesus (Psalm 23:6)Root Problems: Marriages, joy, and peace often fail because Jesus is not at the center.Life-Altering Reality: “I shall not want” is not a coffee mug slogan—it's a way of life.Stop placing on others what only Christ can fulfill.Let Christ be your Shepherd—in home, marriage, business, and daily life.Conclusion & InvitationIf Jesus is your Shepherd:Follow Him.Trust Him.Build your life on Him alone.Promise: “I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever” is for today—not just eternity.Life is better this way.Prayer.

Ruling Elder Robbie PageThe Father, through His Son Jesus, by the power of the Spirit, will bring justice to all nations and rulers in heaven and on earth.
This week's message explored how the Psalms speak to every season of life—from joy and clarity to pain and confusion. Nate Stukey challenged us to live with urgency and intentionality, warning against the drift of spiritual procrastination (Psalm 90). Sawyer Wilson called the Church to unity and mission, urging us to trade finger-pointing for gospel-pointing and to live “on earth as it is in heaven” with undivided hearts and a focus on Jesus (Psalm 86, Matthew 6, Revelation 7). Lijo George shared a powerful personal testimony through Psalm 89, encouraging us that faith is holding on to God's promises—even when it feels like He's forgotten us. Finally, Kezia Gavrila leaned into the darkness of Psalm 88, reminding us that God is present even in our deepest night, and that faith doesn't always come with tidy answers. Together, these voices reminded us that no matter what season you're in, there's a psalm for you—and a God who is faithful through it all.Support the show

Pastor John our guest speaker from Journey Christian Church emphasizes the significance of the Psalms as a prayer book for both Jesus and His followers, highlighting their emotional depth and the need to embrace all aspects of life—joys and sorrows—in our prayers. He categorizes the Psalms into hymns of praise and laments, explaining that these raw expressions of human emotions enable believers to connect authentically with God. The sermon encourages congregants to engage with the Psalms both intellectually and experientially, through teaching and practice, to see them as their own words to God. Ultimately, Pastor John calls for recognition of God's sovereignty, both in moments of worship and in acknowledging our struggles, reinforcing that God hears every lament and responds with grace.

General Theme for the Week: Insight from Eavesdropping on a Psalmist's Prayer Today's Lesson: A Consistent Contradiction On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Wendy Korbusieski discuss the following questions: How did the death of Jesus satisfy justice for the sinner? How did the death of Jesus allow the sinner to submit to God? How do you think people would have attempted to resolve the contradiction back in the time when Psalm 83 was written? The reading for the day is Psalm 83.
Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Proverbs 18:10 – The Lord is Your Strong Tower. Romans 14:8 – You Belong to Jesus Psalm 55:22 – God Loves You More Than You Can Imagine. Psalm 103:11 - God's Love You More than You Can Imagine. Romans 6:11 - You Are Dead to Sin.
When we feel like our life consists of going from one crisis to another, how can we look to Psalm 40 and John 12 to find comfort and composure for ourselves.
Just like the Israelites wandering in the desert craving something more than the manna they were receiving, there's something within our human nature that keeps us battling with our unsatisfied desires. And yet, Jesus tells us in the Gospels that he is the bread of life who can fulfill all hunger and thirst.
Psalm 69 being quoted in the Gospels not only reminds us of the similarities between David and Jesus, but more importantly reveals to us how Jesus is the better David, one that doesn't need a savior but is the Savior.
The music you listen to can tell a lot about you. In this new sermon series, we'll be taking a looks at the Psalms mentioned in the New Testament to understand what they are telling us about Jesus.
Pastor Ryan Van Horn - Resurrection Chattanooga - 7/28/2024 At Resurrection, we are cultivating a community of people who, through grace and practice, are learning from Jesus how to live. In a culture that is constantly searching for direction and meaning, we find our purpose in the life, death, and resurrection of a person – Jesus Christ. This foundation guides our lives, influences our behavior, shapes our goals, dictates how we treat those around us, and provides the meaning for life that we all so desperately seek. Our aim is to commune with Him, imitate Him, know Him, love Him, and make Him known. We desire to be a home for the prodigal, an authentic people — humble, generous, and unified.
Pastor on Staff, Jordan Gentes, continues our summer sermon series on the Psalms of Ascent with the message "Living in Wisdom & Working with Jesus," a look at Psalm 127.
It is time this very minute to pray and seek God. Time to set our timers and pray for the minute. This podcast encourages us to stop for a minute and, now, in the presence of our Heavenly Father—with praise and prayer—worship Him in Jesus' name and in the power of the Holy Spirit. ———— *We do not own the rights to music played on this podcast.

Have you ever imagined how Jesus must have felt the night before His crucifixion? He knew His time to die for the sins of the world had come, and excruciating pain and suffering lay before Him. Sometimes we lose sight of the tremendous physical and emotional price of Jesus' sacrifice. This Easter, let's put ourselves in His position to better ...
