SHE Series 01: The Introduction
Her God Speaks
02/04/21 • 34 min
I can't believe it's FINALLY here! The Her God Speaks podcast has officially launched and I cannot possibly express how grateful I am that you're here for it!
Before we dig into the Bible in search of what God has to say about the worth of women, we need to define some terms and identify some common roadblocks. What is biblical womanhood? Why is it such a charged topic among Christians? Why, in some pockets of the church, is the worth of women downplayed or ignored? And what's stake if we don't get this right? These are some of the questions we tackle in this episode.

SHE Series 08: No Longer Any Curse {Revelation 21 & 22}
Her God Speaks
03/25/21 • 39 min
In this final episode of the SHE series we look ahead to the new creation in search of how the worth of women is put on display at the very end of the biblical storyline. What we find is that the Bible ends in the same way it begins - with a focus on men and women collectively ruling as God's representatives, but this time it's in a new and better Eden that will go on and on forever.
While very little is written specifically about women in Revelation 21 and 22, much is written about the certain future that you and I have as believers in Christ. All that is broken in us and around us will one day be restored and made whole forever.
This episode makes me think of how C.S. Lewis ends his Chronicles of Narnia series. The main characters die in a train wreck, but Lewis makes sure we understand the bigger picture: "All their life in this world and all their adventures had only been the cover and the title page. Now at last they were beginning Chapter One of the Great Story which no one on earth has read, which goes on forever and ever, in which every chapter is better than the one before."
Earbuds in! Let's peek into that Great Story together . . .

As we continue through the storyline of the Bible in search of what God communicates about the worth of women, we find ourselves in the New Testament epistles, which - let's be honest - are not exactly brimming with positive affirmations of a woman's worth. Or so it seems.
In this episode, I seek to confront false assumptions about women drawn from the New Testament epistles, specifically from the command for women to submit. What I hope you'll find is that rigid, check-list oriented, "men-first" teaching on submission is NOT biblical and that what God actually says to wives and husbands is consistent with what He says everywhere else in Scripture: that women are worth just as much as men and just as essential to the fulfillment of His mission in the world.
I was deeply encouraged by this one, and I pray you will be too!

If we want to know what God is like, the best thing we can do is look at Jesus. It stands to reason, then, that clearest expression of God's heart for women is on display in the Gospels where we see story after story of Jesus defying social convention in order to love women well. In this episode, we move into the redemption portion of the biblical storyline by fixing our eyes on an extraordinary encounter between Christ and a nameless woman plagued with long-term suffering and shame. His tenderness toward her moves me to tears nearly every time I read it because it reminds me just how much I'm seen, known, and cherished by God. I pray it does the same for you.

SHE Series 05: Be Quiet, My Sister {2 Samuel 13}
Her God Speaks
03/04/21 • 40 min
In this episode we continue to set our eyes on the worth of women in the storyline of the Bible. We're still in the sad part of the story - the fall. The topic of today's teaching is an aspect of womanhood that doesn't get much attention in the church, but should. It's the topic of abuse.
The Bible does not turn a blind eye to the abuse of women because God does not turn a blind eye to the abuse of women. In His justice, He avenges the oppression. In His love, He heals and restores the victim. In His Son, He absorbs all the shame.

SHE Series 03: Not Good {Genesis 2}
Her God Speaks
02/18/21 • 38 min
There was only one thing that God deemed "not good" about His creation: there was no woman. In this episode we explore a woman's worth as revealed in Genesis 2 and find that far from being a second thought or a "plan B", the woman was - and still is - essential to God's mission in the world!
