Podcasts about Widow

Global Outreach Director Marissa Armit highlights how God's command to leave part of the harvest for the sojourner, fatherless, and widow guides us today to intentionally set aside our abundance for those in need with excellence, not scraps. She also reminds us not to go back for what we've left, trusting it belongs to those God aims to bless.

What happened to Utah National Guardsman Matthew Johnson? In this episode we'll take you deep inside the chilling investigation into his disappearance and the murder charges facing his wife, Jennifer Gledhill. From a secret affair to a supposed late-night confession, digital breadcrumbs to bleach-soaked crime scenes—this story has it all. We'll also include exclusive analysis shared on Court TV and how investigators connected the dots through GPS data, forensic evidence, surveillance footage, and witness testimony. Matthew's body still hasn't been found but the mountain of evidence points to a cold and calculated cover-up. Let's dive into the husband who vanished… and a wife who may have buried the truth.#JenniferGledhill #MatthewJohnson #CottonwoodHeights #UtahCrime #CourtTV #ProfilingEvil #MikeKing #TrueCrimeCommunity #NationalGuard #WhereIsMatthew #CrimeSceneInvestigation #ForensicFiles #MurderInvestigation #MissingPerson #PsilocybinCase #AffairAndMurder #SaltLakeCounty #DigitalForensics #ShallowGrave #VanishedHusband #CourtTV #TrueCrime #NationalGuard #Forensic #Missing #Murder #Victim=======================================Order Wolves in Sheep's Clothing now! https://www.profilingevil.com/wolvesOrder Deceived, An Investigative Memoir of the Zion Society Cult.

1 Kings 17 introduces Elijah the prophet during King Ahab's evil reign: Elijah's Drought Prophecy: Elijah declares to Ahab that there will be no rain or dew in Israel except at Elijah's word—God's judgment for the people's idolatry. God Provides for Elijah: God tells Elijah to hide by the Kerith Brook, where ravens bring him bread and meat morning and evening, and he drinks from the brook. When the brook dries up, God sends him to Zarephath in Sidon. The Widow's Miracle: Elijah meets a widow gathering sticks. She has only a handful of flour and a little oil left, enough for one last meal before she and her son starve. Elijah asks her to make him bread first, promising that her flour and oil will not run out until the drought ends. She obeys, and the miracle happens—her supplies never run out. The Son's Revival: Later, the widow's son becomes gravely ill and dies. Elijah prays and stretches himself over the boy three times, asking God to bring him back to life. God answers, and the boy revives. The widow then believes Elijah is truly a man of God. Your words were found and I ate them

In this powerful episode of A Widow's Heart, host Pam Lundell talks with Dr. Kimberly Hubenette—a skilled cosmetic dentist, author, and widow—about love, resilience, and the will to keep going after unimaginable loss. Kimberly shares her extraordinary love story with her late husband Mark, a double lung transplant survivor and devoted search-and-rescue volunteer. Together, they embraced an adventurous, survivalist lifestyle that prepared Kimberly in surprising ways for the day she would need to live, love, survive, and thrive without him. Discover how Mark's legacy inspired Kimberly's unique novel Grid: Once in a Lifetime You Get to Start Over—a wilderness survival story mirroring her own emotional and spiritual journey. She opens up about grief, the comfort of “God winks,” the healing power of nature, and the importance of building community. You'll also hear practical survival tips, from preparing a “bug-out” bag to caring for pets in emergencies, and learn about Kimberly's retreats that help widows rediscover life's beauty. If you've faced loss—or simply want an inspiring story of courage and hope—this conversation will encourage you to believe that you can survive, heal, and begin again.

When it comes to following Jesus, are you giving Him what you won't miss—or everything you've got? This message cuts through the noise of legalism and the trap of lawlessness, calling us back to a discipleship that costs something. Through the story of the poor widow, we're confronted with a love that demands our whole life, not just our leftovers. If you've been settling for halfway whole, this might be the wake-up call you didn't know you needed.

Parables are a significant part of Jesus's teaching. These brilliant stories paint a picture of life in the kingdom, teaching us about God, ourselves, and the Lord's presence and activity in the world. But they are not easy. Rather than give us simple platitudes and truisms, Jesus challenges us with parables. They are intended to draw us in. Jesus wants us to wrestle with them, to walk around with, meditate and have conversations about them. In this series, we will dig into the context of parables from Luke's Gospel. We will consider the picture Jesus is painting of God's kingdom, and we will engage these stories through the spiritual practice of visio divina (with some original art from our community). This week, we examined a parable that is often misunderstood, the parable of the widow and the unjust judge. Hitch helped us to consider its framing around prayer, the parable's focus on injustice, and the question of faith. In the end, we are reminded of "how much more" our Father in heaven will give to his children who dwell in the kingdom. We practiced visio divina together with this paining from the artist Ronnie Farmer Jr. If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the Core Team.

Can you trust God with an uncertain future? And what happens when you don't? In this episode, Stephen Davey walks you through two parallel stories in 2 Kings 8—one about a faithful widow, the other about a power-hungry politician. When famine strikes, the Shunammite widow obeys God and leaves everything behind, with no promise of return. Seven years later, she comes home to find her story being told in the king's court—at the exact moment she walks in. Is that coincidence, or divine providence? Meanwhile, Elisha confronts Hazael, a royal servant hiding a deadly secret. Elisha's stare exposes what Hazael won't admit—his ambition to kill the king and seize the throne. In a heartbreaking turn, Hazael does exactly that. These stories reveal two timeless truths. First, God works in the lives of those who trust Him, even when obedience brings hardship. Second, temptation isn't always loud—it often begins in silence, when no one's watching. Stephen reminds you that God is just as present in quiet faithfulness as He is in exposing hidden sin. This episode will help you recognize God's providence, resist temptation, and recommit to a life of courage and integrity.

Send us a textIn this deeply moving episode, host Pearl Chiarenza speaks with Tracy Boone about transforming grief into healing through faith and horses. Both women share their personal losses - Tracy as a young widow who lost her husband Reed to a rare brain disease, and Pearl who lost her 25-year-old son Matt.Tracy's husband Reed appeared healthy, but a medical injection from the 1970s eventually caused a fatal brain disease. After Reed's death, Tracy faced the challenge of helping her 6-year-old son Elijah process his father's loss. In a remarkable experience, young Elijah witnessed his father's peaceful transition to heaven, providing comfort during their darkest hour.From this tragedy, Tracy created "Angels in the Arena," a 12-week faith-based program using equine therapy to help widows and children navigate grief. The program focuses on four key elements: establishing peace, building trust, developing relationships, and learning to walk with God.Key topics discussed:What to say (and not say) to grieving familiesHow to support widows beyond the first yearAge-appropriate ways to discuss death with childrenThe healing power of horses in trauma recoveryPractical grief support strategiesSigns and supernatural experiences during lossTracy's son Elijah, now 19, is thriving with his own apartment and full-time job, showing the program's effectiveness.

Women's History, Episode #1 of 4. In 1987, the last reported instance of sati threw India into a maelstrom of furious debate and conflict following the ritual suicide of Roop Kanwar after her young husband's death. Nearly 150 years earlier, British colonial officer Lord William Bentinck passed a prohibition on sati in British India. As Roop Kanwar's death suggests, British colonial rule did not end the practice of sati in India - not at the time of that prohibition, not in the 30 years that followed as the British East India Company tried to expand their influence into the subcontinent Rajputs that were nominally autonomous, and not before, during, or after Indian independence. Widowed girls and women (and yes, we'll come back to the specificity of girls and women later) continued to climb onto their dead husband's funeral pyres and burn alive, whether because they believed it was their duty, because they felt they had no other choice, because they couldn't face a future where their widowhood would be socially and culturally enforced until they died anyway, or because their religious fervor and/or grief moved them to suicide by fire. The history - and experience - of sati in India is complicated, made more so by the ham-fisted intervention of British colonialism, the rise of Hindu nationalism in the late nineteenth century, and the growth of a feminist movement - involving both European and Indian women - in the twentieth century.

After Mike Riddell died in 2022 of complications from prostate cancer treatment, his wife Rosemary published his manuscript, hoping his humour would inspire more men to get checked. 

Responsibility of Believers The message is directed towards church members, highlighting their responsibilities. Romans is full of inexhaustible treasure and truth. Beseeching Believers A call to action based on Romans 12:1-2: Present bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is considered a reasonable service. Do not be conformed to the world. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Prove what is good, acceptable, and the perfect will of God. Memories and Inspiration A reflection on attending a communion service at Millers Cove and remembering men of God from the past who preached the Word. These men's teachings made a significant difference. Grace and Responsibility Grace is essential for salvation, and nothing can be added to it. Salvation is by grace through faith, a gift from God, not of works. There is a call to heed what the apostle is trying to convey to believers. The Widow's Offering The story of the widow who gave all she had (two mites) is used as an example. Jesus noticed her sacrifice, while others did not. She gave from her poverty, while others gave from their abundance. This illustrates the concept of giving one's all to God daily as a living sacrifice. Living Sacrifice God needs those who are alive, committed, and sold out to Him. The apostle beseeches believers to understand the importance of this concept for their lives and to bring honor to God. These actions enable believers to experience God's work in their lives. Gifts from God Everyone receives a gift from God when they are saved. This gift can be shared with others, even if it's just a testimony. A good testimony from a heart sold out to God can lead others to salvation and hope. God has given everyone work to do. Urgency and Transformation Beseeching involves urging with conviction. Consciously making an effort to offer oneself daily will transform the heart. God can use anything if it is yielded to Him. Example: Balaam's donkey. Holiness and Consecration In the Old Testament, a lamb had to be pure and spotless for sacrifice. Believers should offer themselves to God as a living sacrifice, willing and ready for His use. Offer something holy, clean, and ready for use, not marred by pride or selfishness. Consecrate oneself to God, repent of sin, and offer something He can use. Spiritual Death and Surrender Physical blood is not required as a sacrifice now, but a spiritual death is necessary. Lay down oneself and allow God to be in control. When one relinquishes control, they can present something living, holy, and acceptable to God. Urgency in Preaching Preaching should be urgent and have conviction. The message is not worldly philosophy but transformative truths from the Word of God. Giving oneself to God daily will transform one's living. Mercies of God It is through God's mercies that believers can even be a sacrifice. God can take what individuals have if they repent and become pleasing to Him. Confessing sins leads to forgiveness and cleansing. Even if one feels they have little to offer, God can use them when they are right with Him. "Little is much when God is in it." Overcoming Hesitation Urging listeners to stop hesitating, procrastinating, and holding back from God. God has given something to do, say, or share. The time for holding back is over; start giving oneself to God. Get holy, get right with God, and be acceptable. Allow the Holy Spirit to search and help release what is hindering. Presenting Your Body Presenting one's body to God as a living sacrifice. God already owns believers, having bought them at Calvary. Believers have a free will and a mind, making them unique. Give it up and let God have it. Living Sacrifice vs. Dead Sacrifice A dead sacrifice has no choice,

Scripture is clear that God's people are to support widows in their time of need. Yet many struggle to know how best to minister to them in their new chapter of life. This important conversation hopes to equip deacons and other church members to care more effectively by listening well, being patient and allowing a "wide berth" following this life-altering experience.Becky's openness offers valuable insight and practical wisdom to help deacons, pastors, and church members care for widows with greater empathy and understanding.Referenced in this episode: If I Should Die (produced by David Haney)What Grieving People Wish You Knew about What Really Helps (and What Really Hurts): (And How to Avoid Being That Person Who Hurts Instead of Helps) by Nancy GuthrieHow Deacons Can Help: A Widow's AdviceBecky's Suggested Reading ListYou can find all of our episodes at thereformeddeacon.org.

God does not willingly afflict; He takes no pleasure in the sufferings of any of His creatures, much less in the sorrows of His children; but He chastises them for their real good. Why some are so much more afflicted than others, we do not know; but we do know, "that all things work together for good to those who love God"; (Rom 8:28) and that, although "no chastening for the present is joyous—but grievous, yet afterwards it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto those who are exercised thereby". (Heb 12:11) The afflicted mourner finds it hard to believe this promise, and cannot see how it is possible that such a calamity should be of any benefit. But God's Word is to be credited in opposition to our own feelings, and to all appearances. He has ways of working which we do not now understand—but shall know hereafter.

“I realized I couldn't write sex scenes, so I went darker. Turns out, murder is more my thing.” — Kaira Rouda Bestselling author Kaira Rouda returns to Uncorking a Story to talk about her latest psychological thriller Jill Is Not Happy—a twisted, funny, and disturbing journey through a seemingly normal marriage gone off the rails. Kaira shares her journey from marketing executive to novelist, her struggles with writing romance (spoiler: no sex scenes), and how she found her true voice writing deeply flawed characters with secrets they'd kill to protect. Key Takeaways: From Biz to Books: Kaira's writing journey began in childhood but was reignited after years in marketing, real estate, and publishing a business book for women entrepreneurs. Finding Her Genre: After an awkward foray into romance, she found her true voice writing domestic thrillers—starting with Best Day Ever. Jill's Not Happy… and It Shows: Her latest book, Jill Is Not Happy, follows a couple on a National Parks road trip where shared secrets—and suppressed rage—drive the tension. Why We Love Marriage Thrillers: Rouda believes dark fiction lets us laugh at the dysfunction and say, “At least we're not that bad.” Behind the Scenes in D.C.: She offers insight into congressional life from her time as a lawmaker's spouse—and how that inspired The Widow. Cheddar Cheese Cravings and Cracker Barrel Confusion: Yes, there's a cheese tangent. Yes, it's delightful. Family of Creatives: Her son is a music producer and her daughter a screenwriter—both of whom keep her on her toes when adapting her own work for screen.

What does living fully again really look like after loss? This week, I'm joined by someone really special. Lynne Atkin MBE is part of our community, and from the start, I was genuinely amazed by how she was navigating her grief. Not long after the first year of her widowhood, Lynne was making remarkable progress, showing up with strength, clarity and real purpose. And I remember thinking, how is she doing that? Over time, I saw it wasn't a fluke. Lynne kept showing up. She kept leaning into the process and doing the work, with such openness and intention. And she's built something powerful: a life that holds both her love for Michael and her hope for what comes next. In this conversation, Lynne shares what helped her move through the early pain and start building something new. It's a reminder that healing doesn't mean forgetting. It means learning how to live fully again. In this episode, we talk about: Rebuilding identity after a long marriage What helped Lynne feel safe in her grief Making peace with guilt and giving yourself permission to live Creating a vision for your future when everything has changed How community and coaching helped her move forward Whether you're newly widowed or further along, this is a powerful story of resilience, growth and hope.
