In this episode, we have a very honest & real conversation about mental health, anxiety, and walking with God through it all with my friend Stacey Stark. Stacey shares her testimony of wrestling with God through intense seasons of stress and loss in her life, leading to anxiety and panic attacks that she has battled for years. We talk about the important role that God's Word and understanding God's character has played in her mental health and how things like medication and counseling have been important for her in her journey.

In this episode, we hear from my friend Leah Prewitt. Leah shares how she grew up in a Christian home and yet strayed far from God for several years. God finally called her to repentance shortly after she got married, gave her the spiritual gift of teaching, and now she faithfully serves the Lord and teaches the Bible to women and students, using her testimony to encourage them to seek the Lord and find hope in Christ.

Leah and I talked about all kinds of good things in this episode - from discipling children to the importance of communication in the home, and authenticity with others.

She cultivated a deep, intimate walk with Jesus and now she and her husband Eric serve in full-time pastoral ministry at the church he grew up in! I loved seeing God's hand all throughout Stephanie's story as He has been weaving together the details of her life for His glory. Stephanie also discusses the profound spiritual influence that a dedicated prayer team, composed of strategic individuals committed to interceding for her family, has had on them. Stephanie's story demonstrates the power of prayer in the life of a believer.

In this PREMIER episode of the Women Teaching Women Podcast, I interview my dear friend Miranda Haslam. Miranda and her husband were radically saved from a new age lifestyle and rejection of God in 2020 when He captured both of their hearts for His glory. Miranda tells the AMAZING story of their salvation and the events leading up to and after she gave her life to Christ.

Miranda shares so many great things in this episode, I KNOW you will love her stories and walk away giving glory to a great God who can interrupt the stories of even those who seem furthest away from Him. Miranda shares how she was transformed from someone who hated the Bible (even burning one in her past) to treasuring her daily encounter with God as she fervently studies His Word.
