God Hears Her Podcast

Guest Bio: Anna Laura is an entrepreneur at heart. Her Grandmother’s story of waving a white tablecloth to avoid attacks by bomber planes during World War II inspired Anna to start White Flag. White Flag is a lifestyle brand aimed to spark conversations about Jesus Christ through simple designs inspired by biblical truths. She has worked with many artists and creators, including Lauren Daigle and Chip & Joanna Gaines, to bring White Flag out into the world. She is also a single mother of two in Nashville, Tennessee.  Show Summary: Have you ever asked a question in church or with a mentor and felt like it wasn’t received well? Anna Laura was in high school when she started asking tough questions within the church. The reaction to her questions led to the forging of a new path in her life as a single mom and entrepreneur. Join God Hears Her hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they learn the trajectory of Anna’s story and how God helped her to surrender her hurts and her doubts to him.   Notes and Quotes:  “A lot of what I heard growing up was that if you questioned or doubted, or you weren’t doing things a certain way or living thing a certain way, then you had ‘lukewarm Christianity.’”  —Anna Laura  “I look back at seasons where everything felt really hard as a single parent and the bits of life and the anchor in it all were the people who were the safe space.” —Anna Laura  “The act of surrender has been a daily evolving process for me.” —Anna Laura  “Get it all out on paper and watch God connect the dots right in front of you.” —Anna Laura  “I can’t tell you how powerful it is to give yourself the freedom to share the entire spectrum of your emotions with God when you’re in the middle of it.” —Anna Laura  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 33 – Adventurous Obedience with Kari Jobe: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/adventurous-obedience-with-kari-jobe/ GHH Ep 169 – Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/   Links:  White Flag by Anna Laura: https://www.whiteflag.org/ God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM

Guest Bio: Brenda Palmer is an author, preacher, and podcaster with a passion for helping others encounter Jesus in transformative ways. She is currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies at Denver Seminary. As the visionary behind Come Alive Collective, a movement dedicated to hosting nationwide Bible studies and worship nights, Brenda believes life unfolds when we surrender to God’s plan. Whether she’s creating content, leading Bible studies, or preaching the gospel, Brenda’s mission is clear: to inspire others to say yes to God’s call.  Show Summary: Are you the type of person that needs to know the plan before you commit to something? Do you find yourself saying no when you don’t know the details? Or are you always saying yes to any invitation? For anyone, following God’s calling often leads to unexpected opportunities. On this episode of God Hears Her, join hosts Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they learn from Brenda Palmer how saying yes to God can completely alter the course of your life.   Notes and Quotes:  “That moment made me want to pursue a God who wouldn’t change His mind even when I wanted Him to. Even when I tried to do what I thought was the worst things I could ever do to disqualify Him from calling me.” —Brenda Palmer  “When you are high achieving, rest feels like a betrayal to the assignment.” —Brenda Palmer  “There is a level of patience that comes with desperation. When I don’t have another option but to sit and wait—even if I feel like I’m not hearing—I can still sense that He’s here. I’m not getting any answers or relief but there’s a trust that I have in the God He’s been that gives me the capacity to wait when I feel like He’s not saying anything.” —Brenda Palmer  “To bring Him into it [your situation] is saying ‘whatever you decide, whatever you think is best, could you condition my heart to be okay with that?’ Because if not, it’s still a place of entitlement.” —Brenda Palmer   Verses:  Psalm 139  Matthew 6:25-34  Proverbs 3:5-6  1 Corinthians 1:9  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 95 - God’s Good Plans with Teresa Swanstrom Anderson: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/gods-good-plans/ GHH Ep 169 - Learning to Surrender with Tara Sun: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/learning-to-surrender/  Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM Brenda Palmer’s website: https://www.iambrendapalmer.com/ Episode 218 Bible Study PDF: https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP218.pdf/6d7695aa31e411f19db3ae78bff3c806 

When you think about Easter, what is the first thing you think of? Is it the women who were there, the faith of the disciples, or the richly layered way that Jesus showed up? When we celebrate Easter every year, it can be easy to forget all the things that are revealed to us through the story of Jesus’ resurrection and all the ways that this story matters to us every day. Join hosts, Elisa Morgan, Eryn Eddy Adkins, and Vivian Mabuni as they dive deep into Mark 15-16 to gain fresh perspective of the events of Easter.   Notes and Quotes:  “Easter is every day.” —Elisa Morgan  “If we look at what Barabas symbolizes, he’s all of us.” —Elisa Morgan  “He rose for all of us, and He rose for each one of us. He turns to each of us in our fear and trembling and says, ‘Woman, what do you need? I am here. I am risen.’” —Elisa Morgan  “He chooses women because He understood that women were faithful to Him and He wanted to honor their faith.” —Vivian Mabuni  “God calls us forward to new life. He died on a cross for all of our sins.” —Elisa Morgan  “Even in this moment, we can have the kind of life that is rich and meaningful and powerful and we don’t need to be afraid. He lives it with us. And praise God—Jesus Christ is risen!” —Elisa Morgan  Verses:  Mark 15 Mark 16  Romans 5:8 1 Peter 3:18 Luke 8:1-3Mark 16:15  Related Episodes:  GHH Ep 34 – The Women of Easter: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/the-women-of-easter/ GHH Ep 153 – Hopeful End: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/hopeful-end/ GHH Ep 184 – Waiting for Easter with Jessica Herberger: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/waiting-for-easter/  Links:  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191  A Joyful Easter: 40 Morning and Evening Devotions from God Hears Her https://ourdailybreadpublishing.org//god-hears-her-a-joyful-easter.html A Joyful Easter: 7 Easter Devotions from God Hears Her https://www.odbm.org/en/reading-plans/a-joyful-easter/a-joyful-easter Subscribe to the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBMGHH Episode 217 Bible Study PDF: https://xvetrm.files.cmp.optimizely.com/download/assets/GHH+Podcast_EP217.pdf/994b1e882c5511f181666ed115eea297

Guest Bio: Clementine Sikiri was resettled in the United States with her family after spending years in Kiziba refugee camp in Rwanda, fleeing deadly conflict in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

Today, she serves as a mental health clinician in a public middle school, advocates passionately for refugees, and finds joy in her close-knit community.  Show Summary: What was a moment in your life where you felt extreme hopelessness? How did God restore your hope? Clementine Sikiri has experienced many hopeless moments in her life where she had to depend on God to make the impossible, possible.
