Episode 22: Mary At The Cross

Episode 22: Mary At The Cross

Join us in the last of our four part series on the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. In this podcast we look at the ways Mary's heart was pierced during the three years of His public ministry. We zoom in her hometown synagogue's reaction to His teaching and follow her to the foot of His cross. The Gospel of Luke is an eye witness account of Jesus life. Here we find Mary standing through the hell of His torture and death. Her life and faith and sacrifices are a treasure trove for our hearts. www.womenwhodaretobelieve.com "Blood Medley" arranged by Bonnie Keen from the musical "Women Who Dare To Believe" Programmed and produced by James Hollihan

Mary Part 3: The Gospel of Luke vs. Talarico

This is our first video podcast filmed in the basement storage room of Nan’s house. It’s a no frills, all heart invitation for more intimate time with our listeners. As we look at the mother of Jesus through the writings of Luke, we see a human mother’s heart full of all the rollercoaster feelings we share. Mary had a front row seat to the life of Christ and there was never a dull moment. Currently there is a new attempt by Senator Talarico to rewrite Mary’s story to fit the narrative of pro-abortion.  In this podcast we discuss lies of false teachers and our desire for you to know the fact from the fake.  “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.”  Philippians 1: 9-11

"God has laid hold on His servant Israel to help him, to espouse his cause, in remembrance of His mercy." This episode will super charge your day with the reminder that our God remembers mercy. His ways are breathtaking in scope and intimacy. Be encouraged by the lively and tender conversation between Mary and her beloved Elizabeth.

Episode 19: Mary the mother of Jesus (Part One)

In our 21st century news cycle the miraculous birth of Jesus might read: "Virgin Teen Gives Birth To Alien". And this would be accurate. The scandal of the incarnation is truly other-worldly. God chose a teenage virgin from a nothing town of Nazareth to bear His Son. He punched a hole in His creation and humbly entered the womb of a woman who said, 'Be it done unto me as you have said." In this episode, Nan and Bonnie squeeze the juice out of Luke's Gospel account of Christ's birth announcement. Be astonished, be amazed, be undone and changed forever by His coming!
