    📖 People Over Possessions: Lot's Wife Teaches Us About What Really Matters

    What would you grab if you had sixty seconds to leave your home forever? It's a question most of us have never had to answer. We did during the California Wildfires. And Lot's wife did too. And her answer — told not in words but in one devastating backward glance — cost her everything. Lot's wife had a home. A life. Possessions. A community she had built in Sodom. And when God said go — she couldn't resist one last look at everything she was leaving behind. And in that one moment of looking back, she was gone. Now before we shake our heads at Lot's wife — Rhonda wants us to look in the mirror first. Because if we're honest? We do it too. We look back at the comfort we've lost. The life we planned. Things we thought we deserved. Stuff we accumulated can quietly become more important than our obedience to God. And Rhonda's phrase for this episode will stay with you long after it's over — "People over possessions." IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER: The sobering story of Lot's wife and the one backward glance that changed everythingWhy God's command to not look back was about so much more than direction — it was about the condition of her heartThe powerful phrase Rhonda returns to again and again: "People over possessions"How our attachment to comfort, stuff, and security quietly competes with our obedience to GodThe liberating truth that when we choose people over possessions — we gain something no stuff could ever give usKEY SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Genesis 19 — The story of Lot's wifeLuke 17:32 — "Remember Lot's wife" Matthew 6:19-21 — "Store up treasures in heaven"Luke 12:15 — "Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions"RHONDA'S KEY PHRASE FOR THIS EPISODE: "People over possessions." Write it on a sticky note. Let it be the filter through which you make decisions this week and always.

    Pull Up a Chair: The Conversation Every Mom Needs to Hear — Rhonda Stoppe & Deb Weakly Get Real_A Podcast Takeover You Don't Want to Miss

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION: Pull Up a Chair: The Conversation Every Mom Needs to Hear —Rhonda Stoppe & Deb Weakly Get Real_A Podcast Takeover You Don't Want to Miss What happens when two women who have spent decades pouring into moms, marriages, and families sit down together and just talk? You get this episode. Rhonda Stoppe of Old Ladies Know Stuff and Deb Weakly of Help Club for Moms are taking over each other's podcasts — and the wisdom they serve up in this conversation is the kind you only get from women who have lived it, prayed through it, failed at it, repented of it, and come out the other side still standing — and still deeply in love with Jesus. In this warm, honest, laugh-out-loud and occasionally tear-jerking conversation, Rhonda and Deb tackle the real stuff — the things moms and wives are thinking about at 2am when they can't sleep: You'll hear Deb share the single piece of parenting advice that stopped her cold — one look at her daughter's tiny hands that changed everything about how she showed up as a mom. And you'll both laugh and nod along as these two women remind you that the gray hairs are earned, the lessons are hard-won, and the best is absolutely still ahead. Because here's what Rhonda and Deb both know to be true: God chose you — in this moment in history — to raise this generation. And He will not leave you to figure it out alone. This episode covers the best marriage advice nobody tells you, the danger of making your children your best friend, what Eve's "just a little bit more" moment has to do with your scrolling habits, why stepmoms matter more than they know, the power of Scripture memory at 2am when anxiety won't let you sleep, and why linking arms with other women isn't optional — it's obedience. Come for the wisdom. Stay for the friendship. Share it with every mom and wife you know. Because old ladies really do know stuff — and they want to share it with you.

Do you feel stuck, alone, and wondering if God even sees you? Hannah gets it. In this powerful episode of Old Ladies Know Stuff, Rhonda Stoppe unpacks the story of Hannah from 1 Samuel 1-2—a woman who faced infertility, a narcissistic rival wife, and years of unanswered prayers.

Hannah's story proves that what you're walking through right now isn't wasted. Someone is watching. And your faithfulness in the hard seasons will become a legacy that outlasts you.

    Have you ever whispered to yourself at night, "I'll be a better mom tomorrow"—but tomorrow never comes? Maybe you're carrying guilt from your past. Decisions you regret. Sins you're ashamed of.

In this powerful episode of Old Ladies Know Stuff, Rhonda Stoppe introduces Chapter 1 of her new book Moms of the Bible: Life-Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed and Faithful by unpacking the incredible story of Rahab the prostitute—a woman with the shadiest past imaginable who became part of Jesus' family line.

Here's the truth: Romans 5:8 says God showed His love for us while we were still sinners. You don't have to clean yourself up first. Jesus meets you in your mess and washes you clean. Your past doesn't define you. Your Savior does. Listen now and discover the fearless faith that cleanses all sin and shame. Thank you for joining us.

In this episode, you'll discover: Why 93% of moms strive for perfection—and why our kids don't need perfect moms, they need real onesHow to stop raising your children for what people think of you (this perspective will set you free!)The fascinating truth about why marketers call moms "the most powerful evangelists on the planet"How to find redemption when you feel like you've failed as a momWhy the mundane tasks of motherhood are actually profound acts of eternal significanceHow God uses our trials not just to shape us, but to validate our testimony to those watchingMandy vulnerably shares her own parenting failures—from catching three kids throwing up in her hands to telling her son "you deserve it" when he got sick from smoking pot—and how modeling authentic apologies shapes our children far more than projecting perfection. Whether you're in the trenches of toddlerhood, navigating the teen years, or preparing for the empty nest, this conversation will remind you that your influence as a mom matters far more than you realize.
