There should be a helmet law

There should be a helmet law

I sincerely think there should be a helmet law! Specifically, a helmet of salvation law. That would be great in my opinion, and yet I know that God gives us free will. We can armor ourselves up, or we can choose not to. 1 Thessalonians 5:8 encourages believers to put on "the hope of salvation as a helmet." This hope acts as a protective barrier, keeping our minds focused on God's promises and on the truth. Let’s face it between movies, social media, videos, podcasts, and even some sermons, we are assaulted with arrows of deception. We need to armor up. In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re grabbing a sword, slapping on a helmet and talking about lies that come after us in small whispers, slithering toward us, and trying to separate us from our faith, and how we can protect ourselves from them.

Freedom and Free Will

From the time I was little, at home and in school, I was taught to respect our country, be thankful for freedom, honor the flag, and proudly sing “God Bless the USA”. I still do that today. In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast we talk about the importance of having internal freedom to follow the Lord’s call, and the responsibilities that come with that as well as the blessings and responsibilities that come from living in the USA. I hope you’ll tune as we talk about Freedom and Free Will. 1 Peter 2:16 [https://www.bibleref.com/1-Peter/2/1-Peter-2-16.html] says, “Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.”  That's my hope and prayer for all of us today. I pray we will choose to live as God calls us to live, and not as an ally of evil.

The culture of family fallout

Family fallout is defined as estrangement from family members. Some of it is justified, some of it is not. But we shouldn’t be surprised or shocked by it, even if we’re hurt by it. In today’s episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re talking about the cultural epidemic of family fallout; why it’s happening, when it was predicted, and what, if anything, you can do about it or if you should even attempt to do anything about it.  With Biblical insights, experience, truth, and a tad bit of humor, this episode will resonate with just about everyone.

No matter if your battle is career related, family, relationships, financial, physical or mental health, or some other battle, you are not alone! Whatever it is you battle right now – you are not the sole warrior – married or not, single or divorced, widowed or care-giving; career woman, mother, aunt, daughter, you don’t have to battle alone.  For encouragement, Biblical emphasis, humor, and truth, this week’s episode is a firm reminder of who we are in the Lord, what we’re called to do, and that, as women made for a purpose, we are not alone.

Is this the way God meant it to be?

Are you just where God meant you to be? Unfortunately, many of us are so discontent with the season, the space, and the place we’re presently in, we stay distracted with thoughts of how to get out of where we are, instead of embracing where He’s put us. “Bloom where you’re planted” is an often-used saying when it comes to purpose, contentment, and staying encouraged on this journey. In this episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast, we’re talking about blooming, sustaining, growing, and all the crap it takes to make the ground fertile enough to do so! If you’re tired of feeling like where you are has no purpose, and you aren’t blooming like you should, I hope this brief episode will encourage you to hold pn, not to shrink back, give up, or turn your back on where God has you in this season.
