In the intro, Jamy shares that her husband, Todd, was in a catostrophic car accident in July that Jamy has been by his side in recovery. God has been so faithful.

Send us a text The story of Hosea and Gomer is one that has gripped the hearts of many. It's such a beautiful love story that books and movies have been inspired by it. You may know their story. You may have read the books or seen the movie. But as you are listening to our conversation about Gomer, try to clear your mind of those pictures and images and walk into this episode with a blank canvas in mind. Gomer's story is found in the book of Hosea. We will focus on chapters 1-3 but the rest...

Send us a text In this episode, we are chatting about Delilah! All sorts of images and pictures may be popping in your brain about her from what you've learned of her through the years. Us, too. Things like: she was a bad temptress who manipulated Sampson to his demise. That's true. But let's not let that be all we know. Let's take a curious look at who she was and what she did and see what God wants to teach us through her relationship with Samson and her life found in Judges...

Send us a text On this episode, we are actually swinging to the opposite extreme from last episode's (12) conversation about the Proverbs 31 Women. Basically, for every wonderful thing that describes that women of wisdom, this month's woman is the exact opposite to an evil and murderous degree. Such extremes. Today, we are talking about JEZEBEL. She is not someone we want sitting at our table. She would not fit into our beautiful community of broken yet redeemed women. Although...

Send us a text On this episode of the Car Chat Podcast, we are pulling up a seat at the table for the Proverbs 31 woman. Um. So. What do you know about the Proverbs 31 Woman? She may have been the theme of a women's event, a book from your mentor, or a cross-stitched name on a throw pillow at your aunt's house. But who is she? It's easy to get overwhelmed with the list of amazing things that she does. But every action comes from a belief, a character trait, a virtue t...

Send us a text Welcome to our BONUS EPISODE of Car Chat Podcast! We thought it would be fun to have an EXTRA conversation about all the women of the bible that we got to know in 2023 - like a Year in Review.

Send us a text Hello, friends! This month on Car Chat Podcast we are talking about Rebekah (Genesis 24-27). She ties into the conversation from last month about Sarah because Rebekah married Sarah's long-awaited son, Isaac (but, sadly Sarah had died 3 years prior). I only was casually acquainted with Rebekah so we were curious about how this conversation would go. But, YA'LL!!! God spoke to us through her story in very real-time ways. I hope that you will find a time to listen...

When we started, we just didn't know how this would go: if we would like it, if you would like it... But, we love it so much! Many of the women we skipped over in our first outline, we are now going back to. Within the historical timeline, Sarah would fit right after Eve. Her story is in Genesis 12-23....

Send us a text After getting our families settled into a new school year, Car Chat Podcast is back! Each month, we chat in my car about one woman of the Bible. This month, we are talking about Rahab. Her story is found in Judges 2, 6. Who is she? 1. She was a prostitute. 2. She responded with belief. 3. She was saved. Goodness, this was such a rich conversation as we built context into her life and situation. God was so faithful to her. She didn't allow her label to define her even thought ...

Send us a text We love chatting in my car each month about one woman of the Bible. We recorded this episode about 3 weeks ago, but then I moved. And it has taken this long to get it set to share with you. We pray the timing is exactly when you needed to hear it. In this episode, we are talking about NAOMI! Her story is found in the book of Ruth. She is one of US. Who God was to her he is to you and me. As we unpacked her story, we discovered 3 things about Naomi. She was: 1. a widow ...
