We've got a lesson straight out of the history books this week as we read Daniel chapter 8. It's Daniel's second vision about a ram, a goat, and some horns.  The vision gets pretty specific this week, and it may be beneficial for you to listen to an episode released last summer about the Intertestamental Period, because that's the period of time a lot of this chapter deals with. (But let me warn y...

Alrighty, we swim right on into deeper waters today, but I've tried to make the surface as smooth as possible for you. Daniel chapter 7 is the first of Daniel's apocalyptic visions (and you'll learn the real meaning of apocalypse in this episode!). He sees a lion, bear, and leopard...and he sees a beast he has no earthly reference for, and for a change, Daniel doesn't understand this vision. He re...

Today we transition from the familiar childhood stories in the book of Daniel to the more "adult" writing we call apocalyptic literature.  Often this transition intimidates people, and they sort of abandon ship because they think it's going to be too difficult. But not us here at She Walks Worthy, right? We are in it for the entire journey! In this episode, I break the chapter down for you in bite...

Ohhhhhh, is this the one you've been waiting for? It's Daniel 6 for this episode of our Women's Weekly Bible Study. Maybe you just call it Daniel in the Lion's Den. Do you remember how old you were when you first heard this story? Do you remember all the drama? There's jealousy, conspiracy, deception, espionage, dark night of the soul, vindication and retribution. Whew!! (The Bible is NOT boring!)...

We reach the half-way point of the book of Daniel this week in our Women's Bible Study, and it's probably the most familiar story from the entire book. At least, it's probably the first story you learned in Sunday School from Daniel. That's right, we read about Daniel in the Lion's Den this week. In an effort to combat the temptation to "skim" the familiar text, you'll find some study prompts in t...

Can you read the writing on the wall? What does it tell you?  We have probably never experienced the supernatural event that King Belshazzar experienced, being given a divine message from a disembodied hand, writing a message of divine judgement for not JUST a moment of drunken bad decision making, but a lifetime of flying in the face of God. But there probably have been times when we've "seen the...

Have you ever used the expression "I can read the writing on the wall." ? Do you ever stop to think that expression comes straight out of the Bible? We read the story behind the expression this week as Babylon continues to revel in idolatry several generations after King Nebuchadnezzar's passing.  This episode gives you things to think about as you read Daniel chapter 5. For a little extra for no...

How well do you know the story of Daniel chapter 4? I confess, I had a surprise at the end.  King Nebuchadnezzar has had another dream and asks Daniel to interpret it for him. For good reason, Daniel is hesitant. If Nebuchadnezzar won't humble himself and seek the righteousness of God, the dream is a warning of weighty judgement. Yes, Nebuchadnezzar was an instrument in God's hand to bring judgeme...

As we get deeper and deeper into the Book of Daniel in our weekly Bible study, we get to know King Nebuchadnezzar in a more personal way: we know he can be brutal, we know his character, we know he loves his power and authority. We also know he has some insecurities. For all of his vanity, it seems he knows down deep there is something he is supposed to know, but he hasn't been able to grasp it ye...

Oh this is a big chapter for us this week as we look with adult eyes at what, for most of us, is one of the most beloved Bible stories from our childhood.  In response to Daniel's interpretation of his dream in chapter 2, Nebuchadnezzar sets in motion his plan to keep his empire from falling. All he has to do is intimidate all the leaders of the Babylonian provinces to prostrate themselves in wors...

This week we come to one of the most familiar and beloved stories of our childhood if you grew up in church. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednigo slips over us like a comfortable old coat worn to Sunday School throughout our youth. In this Prepisode, you'll get some questions to think about and chew on as you read this week. I hope the questions will help you see beyond the familiarity and...

How often do you dream? Can you see patterns in your dreams? Have you ever had recurring dreams? When I was a kid, I used to have a recurring dream that a family of vampires lived in our shower. I was well into my 20s before I could use a bathroom without opening the shower door or pulling back the curtain to make sure I was alone. (That's a little extra for no charge!!) In the ancient world, drea...

Alrighty, this week in our Women's Bible Study we are looking at Daniel chapter 2. This is where Nebuchadnezzar has his first dream, and (SPOILER ALERT) it's about a big statue. Daniel gets a chance to stand before the king and show how mighty his God is! This episode gets you ready to read all about it!

The first wave of captives tread their soles on Babylonian soil this week in Daniel chapter 1, and they are made aware of what this new life will bring in the first couple of years. First, they'll be given the best education. They'll eat the very same food the king eats. They'll be called by new names. But Daniel does some negotiating and brokers what the captain of the eunuchs believes is a bad d...

Welcome to a brand new year (Hello 2025!!) and a brand new season (Hello Season 3!!) here at She Walks Worthy. We are hitting the ground running with a brand new study for the next three months: the book of Daniel. I get you ready to open up chapter 1 this week to the Babylonian Narrative so you are fully aware of the context and setting - members of the royal family of Judah taken captive to Baby...

You've all waited patiently, and now is the time. You'll find out in this episode what we are reading beginning in January.

I hope you enjoy this Bonus Episode all about Christmas Traditions. We talk about what Christmas Tradition are, why we love them, and why they are important. We talk about what to do when life brings changes...how do we handle that? Honestly, it can be difficult. I share some the Christmas Traditions you sent in to me, and I share some of the traditions of my family. Do any of these sound familiar...

Welcome to the first BONUS EPISODE of our Winter Program where we will take a closer look at the conversion of Saul. In the book of Acts, Luke recounts the story three times, and repetition means something in the Bible, so what is Luke trying to get at? Where is he trying to lead us? Why is THIS conversion so important Luke thought it was necessary to tell the story three different times? We'll br...

It's another one week Bible study this week as we look at the letter from Jude.  Jude writes to an unspecified church, but he's specific in the audience he's targeting: those who are called, beloved and kept by God the Father for Christ Jesus. He writes them to plead with them to contend for the true faith that has been handed down once for all to the saints. His explanation of why this is necessa...

Oh, I'm not sure how I feel about posting this last episode of our Bonus Series. Of course, I'm happy to have done this series, I thouroughly enjoyed it, and I believe you all did as well, but it's a little sad that it has to come to an end. In our final episode, my senior pastor Joshua York takes a gander about why more pastors don't utilize the tool of expository preaching.  First, Joshua define...

We are getting ready for our second week of Winter Programming with a one week study on the Letter of Jude.  Jude is ONE CHAPTER, 25 VERSES, and about a 4 minute read. Jude encourages his readers to "contend for the faith," and spend a good deal of his letter explaining why this is necessary. It 's a warning we should pay attention to and heed even today. This episode provides some things to ask y...

It's one and done this week in our Bible Study for Women. We read the book of Philemon, the short little letter that packs a walloping punch! Paul is appealing to his friend Philemon on behalf of Paul's son in the faith, Onesimus. Paul crafts a letter that is personal, challenging, and optimistic, giving Philemon the choice to do the right thing and reconcile with Onesimus, instead of commanding h...

Oh my, what a great question we have today for our Bonus Series, Ask the Pastor, It's a question I'd be willing to bet you've asked before, or you've been asked before: Will Christians go through the tribulation? Joshua York explains his view on this question, and gives grace to Christians who believe differently. He talks about two primary views on "tribulation," one from the angle of dispensatio...

Y'all I am super excited for this week. We are moving into our winter program and for the next two weeks we will look at the two books of the New Testament which stand alone with just ONE CHAPTER!! This week is the book of Philemon. This is a deeply personal letter from the apostle Paul to his friend, with an important request. Paul follows an ancient Greek and Roman philosophy formula designed in...

Today is an exciting day (I say with a tear in my eye) as we finish the Book of Acts in our Women's Bible Study, It's a tale of swashbuckling adventure as Luke writes an EPIC narrative that rivals any shipwreck story we can think of. Luke also encourages us to think about another stormy adventure we find in the Old Testament, and see the God who is in complete control over both stories, as he deli...
