Her Portion

Join Crystal as she considers the song titles, "No Room" and "Prepare Him Room," as we look ahead to the new year. How much room are we making for Jesus in our hearts and lives? Do we set boundaries on how much room we give Him? Do the activities, responsibilities, and pleasures of this life crowd Him out? Have we left any room for Jesus? As we look ahead to 2024, our heart&apo...

Have you ever had those times in life that are make it or break it seasons? Those times you seem to be stuck, and you can’t see any way out and can’t find the answer.  In the busyness of life, looking at the same pile of laundry day in and out, waking up to the same notifications, it’s easy to feel like there’s not an answer to the need in our lives.  It’s in the times we are able to get away and...

Have you ever stopped and thought about how Mary responded to the angel Gabriel? “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” She put aside her own plans, the life she thought she would lead, her own body, and her fear to bring about God’s will for her life! God didn’t need her! But, He chose to use her! When we tell God no, His plan isn’t ruined, He just uses someone el...

It will help you weed out the distractions from a B...

Having compassion on others is as simple as seeing a need and fulfilling it. As Christians, there are so many different ways that we can show compassion.

Last week Hannah mentioned some things that hospitality is and it isn’t. It can be so easy to become wrapped up in thinking you just don’t have what it takes to entertain people. Maybe you feel like you don’t measure up when it comes to cooking, cleaning, and being organized or timely. But that’s not what Biblical hospitality is necessarily (although it can play a part and it’s great to learn). Th...

Our new topic for the month of November is hospitality! What a great topic to study and think about with Thanksgiving just around the corner. In this episode Hannah shares with us what hospitality is and what it is not. She references Roman chapter 12 and a few other verses later in. It’s amazing what God can do when we open our hearts and homes to others without expecting anything in return. If y...

In our last episode for the month of October, Hannah wraps up our theme with diving into a few Scriptures that teach us how doubt affects our prayer life. We know that we shouldn’t doubt God. Most often, we do believe God and we trust Him. So, how does doubt creep in? How do you purpose not to doubt when you’re praying? Listen to this episode to find out! If you’d like to connect with the ladies o...

II Timothy 1:7 says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” So many times we’ve used this verse to combat fear, but let’s not forget in place of that fear that God has called us to have a sound mind. Let’s dive into this topic as Jackie discusses having a disciplined mind. Connect with the ladies of Her Portion Podcast on Instagram HERE.  Co...

Have you ever been overwhelmed by your circumstances? Lost sleep over the difficulties you faced? It's during those times that we can begin to doubt God - His goodness, His plan, His timing, His faithfulness. We question His care for us and wonder if He hears our prayers.  Thankfully, we know that God is faithful. He will never leave us or forsake us. His mercy endures forever. He provides su...

Let’s talk nitty gritty in this episode. How should we treat the preacher’s kids? Expect them to never make mistakes? What about others in our lives? Proverbs says that a just man falleth seven times. Do we give grace to people when they fall, and what about to ourselves? Or are we quick to share all that we know about the situation with others? The majority of the time you never know the whole st...

Philippians 3:13-14 tells us, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” From this verse we can gather that we need to forget some things in our past, whether it be victory or defeat, so...

Join Hannah in this episode as she wraps up the topic this month of walking worthy. It’s amazing that God not only gives us commands but also, tells us how to follow through with them. In Ephesians 4 Paul says to walk worthy in the vocation wherewith ye are called. He then goes on in the rest of the chapter describing what that worthy walk is. Have you ever considered how our walk affects the unit...

Join Quortney from Running Redeemed as she shares one way that Christian’s are to walk worthy or appropriately. As Christian women, we like to ignore this section of our lives and brush it off as irrelevant. But, that’s not biblical. If it matters to God, it should matter to us!

I  think with this topic, it’s so easy to get the cart before the horse, so to say. When I think of the topic “walking worthy,” my mind instantly thinks of my outward testimony. God’s holy. Am I being holy enough? Does my life measure up to my pastor’s wife or my girl friend that always seems to know the perfect thing to say, carries herself like a sweet and quiet Christian lady, and seems to have...
