73 || Women of the Word Series: Hagar (with Aviela Groder)

Emily and Aviela are back on the podcast with another series! Women of the Word is a series we’ve done over the last few summers, and we’re so excited to dive into it again. In today’s episode, Aviela explores the story of Hagar found in Genesis 16 and 21. Together, Emily and Aviela discuss Hagar’s background, her circumstances, and what we can learn from her encounter with God. They highlight God’s faithfulness throughout her story and unpack the significance of the name El Roi, the name Hagar gives Him. This is an episode you won’t want to miss! It’s a powerful reminder that even when we feel forgotten, lost, or at the end of our strength, we serve a God who sees us, knows us, and cares deeply for us.

71 || Worship Through Obedience

Emily and Aviela return for part two of their conversation on worship. They move beyond the music and look at what a life of worship truly is. They unpack the truth that our obedience is our worship to God. We have the opportunity to align our hearts with His in a beautiful way. Our lives were made to be a fragrant offering of worship to Him.  This episode leaves us reminded that as we walk with God, our lives begin to sound like worship. Every step, every surrender, every act of obedience becomes a fragrance that rises to Him. 🤍Romans 12:1

70 || Refocusing Your Posture of Worship

Emily and Aviela sit down for part one of a two-part conversation on worship, peeling back the layers of what it really means to live with a posture of worship. They talk about fixing our eyes on what truly matters and redirecting our hearts back to where they belong. With honesty and vulnerability, they step into the tension we all feel from the constant pull of distractions, the noise of the world, and how easy it is to slowly lose focus on Jesus without even realizing it. Listen in to be encouraged to re-posture your hearts and intentionally choose a life that reflects worship in the everyday. 🤍Hebrews 12:1-2

69 || Learning and Living to Dwell in God's House

This is our last episode of the dwell series!! Today, Emily and Aviela dive into dwelling in God’s presence & how that brings alignment and change in our life. Today, they pose a simple choice:You can dwell in chaos, or you can dwell in the Presence of the Lord—where chaos does not exist. Which one are you choosing? The girls break it down to make this practical. * What would your womanhood look like if you truly dwelled in the House of God? * Your motherhood? * Your work life? * Your friendships? * Every other area of your life? * What would shift if you weren’t reacting from exhaustion, fear, or pressure—but responding from His presence? Dwelling begins when you encounter Him. You meet Him first, before the striving, before the performance, before the checklist. Permanent residence in God’s House isn’t about location—it’s about posture. When you choose to dwell with Him, everything else in your life begins to find its proper place. Join in today for an encouraging episode! Key Scripture: * Psalm 23 * Joshua 24:15 * Romans 8:1
