Judges 2–4; 6–8; 13–16, The Lord Raised Up a Deliverer

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore the Book of Judges and the stories of women whose faith, courage, and influence shaped the course of Israel’s history. From Deborah’s leadership to Jael’s quiet but decisive bravery and Delilah’s tragic role in Samson’s downfall, the conversation highlights how women’s choices, both public and private, carry deep spiritual impact. The discussion focuses on the repeating cycle throughout Judges: Israel turns away from God, falls into hardship, cries out for help, and is delivered again. Tess and Becky connect these stories to modern discipleship, emphasizing that God often works through imperfect people willing to act in faith. Deborah’s example especially becomes a reminder that women can receive revelation, lead with confidence, and influence others spiritually within their homes, families, and communities. They also reflect on the sacredness of covenants and the importance of protecting what is holy in our lives. Through Samson’s story, they discuss the dangers of carelessness, misplaced trust, and allowing the world to weaken spiritual strength. At the same time, this episode offers encouragement that God continues to work through imperfect women today, and that even quiet, unseen acts of faith can create lasting ripple effects for generations.

Joshua 1–8; 23–24, Be Strong and of a Good Courage

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore the book of Joshua and the powerful pattern of faith before miracles.

From marching around Jericho to setting up memorial stones after crossing the river, the Israelites are repeatedly invited to remember God’s hand in their lives and trust Him even when His instructions don’t fully make sense. Tess and Becky connect these stories to modern discipleship, showing how small acts of remembrance, covenant living, and exact obedience shape faith over time. They also highlight the story of Rahab and the powerful reminder that faith is not limited by someone’s past.

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore the final chapters of Exodus and the beginning of Leviticus, focusing on one central idea: sacrifice as the language of worship.

Through the symbolism of the tabernacle, they show how these practices were always meant to guide people toward God’s presence. The conversation highlights that the goal of discipleship is not just obedience, but transformation. Tess and Becky reflect on how ancient rituals, from offerings to sacred spaces, mirror a deeper spiritual journey that still applies today. They connect this to modern life, showing how small, daily acts like prayer, kindness, and consistency are the foundation of becoming holy, not just appearing faithful. They also emphasize the role of women as builders of sacred space, even when they are not always named in the text. Whether in homes, communities, or quiet personal efforts, women continue this work today. This episode offers a steady reminder that your offering matters, no matter how small, and that you already belong in God’s presence. As Tess shares, the question shifts from “am I doing enough?” to “am I creating space for Him to dwell in me?”
