The Christ Centered Woman's Podcast

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.

In this episode, we will look at Exodus 1 and 2 to examine the family of Moses. We will see how his brave mother used her faith to allow her son Moses to guide later generations. We will also draw parallels between Moses and Jesus. If you find yourself needing encouragement to make it through the chaos of the world, this is the episode for you!

In this episode, we look at the examples of our past "Rest of the Story" episodes on Rahab and the walls falling in Jericho to help us understand the idea of "disenfranchised grief." This is the idea of mourning "what used to be." We examine this and look at some ways to cope if you find yourself ever mourning what used to be. ***Please remember while this contains information on mental health, th...

In this episode, we look at Joshua, chapter 6 to understand the importance of Godly obedience using the Biblical account of the walls falling in Jericho.

We all have a past, and just like we see in the account of Rahab, we get to decide the steps we take in the present. In this episode, we look at the account of Rahab and her providing help to the spies sent by Joseph. We discuss how Rahab is mentioned in both the Old Testament and New Testament scriptures.

In this brief episode, we address the importance of rest. As Christian women, sometimes we have to find value and peace in taking a pause, even when the world around us says otherwise.
