2 Kings 2–7, There Is a Prophet in Israel

2 Kings 2–7, There Is a Prophet in Israel

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore 2 Kings 2–7 and the ministry of Elisha, showing how God continues to guide and bless His people through prophets. From healing the waters of Jericho and multiplying oil for a widow to raising a child from the dead and feeding a hungry crowd, Elisha’s miracles point beyond themselves to Jesus Christ. Tess and Becky reflect on how God’s power is often revealed through ordinary people and simple acts of faith rather than dramatic displays. The conversation centers on Naaman’s healing and the invitation to trust God even when His instructions seem surprisingly simple. Rather than performing a spectacular miracle, Elisha tells Naaman to wash in the Jordan River seven times, teaching that God’s greatest blessings often come through humble obedience. Tess and Becky connect this to modern discipleship, reminding listeners that daily scripture study, following prophetic counsel, and acting on spiritual promptings may seem small, but these simple acts sustain faith over time. They also highlight the quiet influence of women throughout these chapters. A widow, a faithful mother, and a young servant girl each become instruments in God’s work, demonstrating that spiritual influence rarely depends on position or recognition. This episode encourages listeners to trust the prophet, recognize God’s presence in everyday life, and expect miracles as they faithfully follow Him, one small step at a time.

1 Kings 12–13; 17–22, If the Lord Be God, Follow Him

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore the ministries of Elijah and the spiritual division taking place in Israel. As the nation drifts toward idolatry under King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, Elijah calls the people to make a choice: will they follow God wholeheartedly or continue wavering between competing loyalties? Through stories of drought, miracles, and personal revelation, the conversation centers on what it means to trust God when circumstances are uncertain. A major focus is the widow of Zarephath, a woman who chooses faith when she seemingly has nothing left to give. Tess and Becky reflect on her willingness to sacrifice her last meal and trust God’s promise of provision. They connect her story to modern discipleship, discussing how faith often requires letting go of something familiar before we can see what God has prepared in its place. Through personal experiences, they explore the challenge of recognizing revelation and trusting divine guidance, even when the path forward is unclear. The episode also highlights Elijah’s experience after the dramatic miracle on Mount Carmel. Despite witnessing fire from heaven, Elijah ultimately hears God through a still small voice. Tess and Becky discuss how personal revelation looks different for everyone and how learning to recognize God’s voice is often more important than receiving dramatic signs. This episode offers encouragement to trust God with sacrifices, seek personal revelation, and remember that faithful hearts matter more to God than worldly power or recognition.

2 Samuel 11–12; 1 Kings 3; 6–9; 11, Hear Thou in Heaven Their Prayer

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore pivotal moments from the lives of David, Bathsheba, and Solomon, focusing on the condition of the heart and the reality that even faithful people can drift when they stop intentionally turning toward God. Through stories of repentance, wisdom, temple worship, and personal failure, they reflect on what it means to remain devoted to God throughout every season of life. The conversation highlights Bathsheba’s story with compassion and hope, reminding listeners that God sees women whose lives are complicated by loss, disappointment, sin, or circumstances beyond their control. Though Bathsheba’s story includes tragedy and pain, it does not end there. Tess and Becky emphasize that God was not finished with her, and He is not finished with us. They also discuss how David and Solomon, despite their extraordinary spiritual experiences, demonstrate that past faithfulness never replaces the need for daily discipleship. As they explore Solomon’s temple and eventual downfall, the discussion turns to the battle for the heart. What we give our attention, affection, and devotion to ultimately shapes who we become. This episode encourages listeners to continually return to God, build lives centered on covenant relationships, and remember that His grace is always available to those who keep turning back toward Him.

1 Samuel 17–18; 24–26; 2 Samuel 5–7, The Battle Is the Lord’s

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore some of the most familiar stories in Samuel, including David and Goliath, David’s relationship with Saul, and the remarkable example of Abigail. While these stories are often remembered for dramatic moments, the conversation focuses on deeper themes of faith, identity, spiritual maturity, and trusting God’s timing. The discussion centers on the truth that “the battle is the Lord’s.” Through David’s victory over Goliath, Tess and Becky emphasize that faith is less about personal strength and more about knowing who is fighting alongside you. They also reflect on the dangers of comparison through the contrasting reactions of Jonathan and Saul to David’s success, encouraging women to celebrate one another’s gifts rather than viewing them as competition. God often works through people the world overlooks, and His deliverance rarely looks the way we expect. They also highlight Abigail’s wisdom, restraint, and quiet influence, showing how seemingly small acts of peacemaking can change the course of history. Whether facing anxiety, loneliness, disappointment, or uncertainty, this episode reminds listeners that God values authentic faith, uses ordinary people for extraordinary purposes, and is present in every battle we face.

1 Samuel 8–10; 13; 15–16,, The Lord Looketh on the Heart

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore Israel’s transition from prophetic leadership to monarchy through the stories of Saul and David. As the Israelites demand a king, they trade trust in God’s guidance for something that looks more secure and familiar. Tess and Becky reflect on how this pattern still appears today when fear, comparison, or uncertainty tempt us to seek validation from outward appearances rather than from God. The conversation focuses on the contrast between Saul and David. Saul looked like the ideal leader but struggled with impatience, fear, and selective obedience. David, on the other hand, was overlooked by others yet chosen by God because of his heart. Through these stories, Tess and Becky discuss the difference between appearance and authenticity, emphasizing that God values humility, repentance, and a willing heart far more than outward success or perfection. They also explore themes of obedience, forgiveness, and personal responsibility. For women navigating expectations, comparison, or disappointment in themselves and others, this episode offers reassurance that God sees beyond appearances. His purposes continue even when people fail, and being overlooked is never the same as being forgotten. The invitation is to focus less on earning approval from the world and more on cultivating a heart that trusts and follows God.
