The Christ Centered Woman's Podcast

In this episode, we are looking at the final chapters in Leviticus! In the last episode, we looked at the high priest on the Day of Atonement in Chapter 16. The remaining chapters 17 through 27 shift our gaze from the altar out into everyday life. Known as the Holiness Code , this section reveals how God’s holiness touches every ordinary detail—from moral boundaries and business ethics to finding...

In this episode, of Anchored and Alive, where we focus on mental health, we address ambiguity. When life feels ambiguous, or unsettled, our brains and nervous systems naturally go into survival mode. Join me as we look more at this important mental health aspect. *****The Anchored and Alive episodes are not meant to be a substitute for mental health assistance. If you are experiencing a mental hea...

In this episode of The Rest of the Story , we examine the details of Yom Kippur. From the High Priest stripping off his ornate robes for simple white linen, to the powerful ceremony of the two goats, we see how God provided a way for an imperfect people to be cleansed. Discover how the sacrificed goat satisfied justice, how the scapegoat carried shame away into the wilderness, and how Jesus fulfil...

In this episode, we address an issue that many women face today and that is the idea of perfectionism. This thinking that everything we do, cleaning our house, our outfits, our children, must be perfect. This is simply untrue and does great harm to us mentally overall. This episode examines this idea and gives several coping strategies to assist those who struggle with perfectionism. ***As with al...

In our last episode, we talked about why you should not skip the book of Leviticus. Today, we are discussing Leviticus chapters 1 through 7. When you read this passage of scripture you given many detailed descriptions of fire, altars, precise instructions for priests, and a lot of blood. For a modern reader, it can feel foreign, gory, and uncomfortable. Why so much blood and fire? What was all of...

In honor of Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month, I am looking at a very important mental health topic that is not talked about very often in the church, suicide awareness. In this episode, I'm looking at clinical counseling, brain science, and Biblical truth to address suicide awareness, emotional pain, and how the church can become a safe resource for those who struggle. If you or someone...

Have you ever started a "Read the Bible in a Year" plan, only to hit a complete wall when you reached Leviticus? You’re not alone! Between rules about mildew, animal sacrifices, and ritual purity, Leviticus is often the most skipped book in the Bible. But when we skip Leviticus, we miss the foundational blueprint of the Gospel. In this episode, we unpack why Leviticus isn't a dusty l...

How do you keep moving forward when the life, a relationship, or outcome you hoped for looks fundamentally different than you planned? Or perhaps you are now a caretaker of someone with dementia, an addiction, or other illness and you feel like the person you knew is no longer there? These situations can be challenging because there is no clean resolution or goodbye. In today's episode we are...

What happens when the greatest leader of the Old Testament reaches the end of his journey and what does his final chapter reveal about Jesus Christ? As we continue with the Rest of the Story and close our study on the life of Moses, we trace the dramatic path from the Mount Sinai to Mount Nebo. This episode we look at the meaning behind Moses’ shining face, the costly strike at Meribah, and why Mo...

Have you ever walked into a church auditorium and felt an invisible wall of coldness—or caught yourself feeling territorial over "your" usual pew? This week on Anchored and Alive , we bridge the assembly of the Tabernacle in Exodus 35–40 with modern clinical social psychology to explore how subtle, unwritten habits can create psychological barriers in our church auditoriums.

To the untrained eye, the last fifteen chapters of Exodus can feel like a dry list of materials and measurements. But when you look at the Bible as one cohesive story, these chapters make much more sense. In today's episode, we are looking at a few points on these chapters to help us understand how these Old Testament chapters relate to the New Testament.

In this Anchored & Alive episode of The Christ-Centered Woman’s Podcast , we examine Exodus 32 to unpack one of the most painful, relatable human experiences: deep relational disappointment . When Moses came down Mount Sinai carrying the stone tablets written by the finger of God, he expected a faithful, growing community. Instead, he walked right into the chaos of the golden calf. Exodus 32:1...

In this episode we look at Exodus 19 and 20 and discuss how we serve a God who wants to have a relationship with you. When God descended on the mountain in fire, thunder, and smoke to give the Ten Commandments, the terrified Israelites begged Moses: "You speak with us... but let not God speak with us, lest we die." They chose distance over intimacy because fear told them closeness wasn&#...

In this Anchored & Alive episode of The Christ-Centered Woman’s Podcast , we step into Exodus 18 to address one of the most pervasive drivers of female burnout: Decision Fatigue and the Delusion of Indispensability.

In this episode, we continue our Rest of the Story series by stepping into the back half of Exodus 17—the intense battle against the Amalekites at Rephidim. When the enemy attacks our weary places, we often default to the same trap Moses faced: trying to do it all by ourselves. If this episode resonated with you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who might need a rem...

In this episode of Anchored and Alive where we blend psychology with Biblical truths, we are addressing emotional exhaustion that turns into a rigid, black-and-white demand. We are talking about the danger of ultimatums. Looking at Exodus 17, we are going to look at what happens to our brain when we hit a wall of total depletion, why exhaustion causes us to issue ultimate deadlines to the people w...

In this episode we look at Exodus 16. We see the Israelites hit a massive wall of scarcity. Their provisions from Egypt were totally gone. God provided them with manna, but set boundaries that made it expire at night. In this episode, we will look at the scarcity mindset and the importance of trusting God.

What happens when you do everything right, experience a massive breakthrough, and then—just a few days later—real life sets in and suddenly you feel disappointment? In this episode of The Christ-Centered Woman’s Podcast , we are going past the Red Sea celebration and straight into the Wilderness of Shur. We are standing at the banks of Marah, where the Israelites finally found water, only to reali...

In this episode of The Christ-Centered Woman’s Podcast , we look at the account of Moses and the Red Sea to understand a key moment in biblical history. We are looking at the real-world geography and psychological realities of Exodus 14. We will also look at the trauma responses of the Israelites and contrast human panic with divine peace . You won't want to miss it!

In today's episode, we look at a mental health issue that impacts so many, being overconsumed by media. Whether it be watching the news 24/7 or constant social media scrolling, it can lead to feelings of helplessness. Today we will look at our confidence in Christ and setting boundaries to prevent ourselves from drowning in the chaos of the world.

In our "Rest of the Story" episode, we look at Exodus, Chapter 12 and see the correlation between the lamb and Jesus in the New Testament.

In this episode, we address the mental health concerns that make up reaction verses response. Looking at our past studies, we see how Pharoah was greatly troubled making emotional reactions. We compare this to Moses using his trust in God to pause and make a response.

In this episode, we continue our "Rest of the Story" episodes and the life of Moses. We examine the plagues of Egypt in the book of Exodus and see how Pharoah's hardened heart impacted an entire nation.

In this episode, we will draw comparison between anxiety and manna. Scripture teaches that the Israelites were commanded to get only the manna they needed for that day, no more, no less. Out of fear, some gathered more and it rotted. Sometimes we let our "what ifs" control our mind rather than trust in God, much like taking too much manna, it can cause our mental health to "rot&quot...

In this episode, we look at Moses and the burning bush, found in Exodus, Chapter 3. Here we see the ultimate example of God's authority and knowledge. In this series, we continue to link the Old and New Testament together.
