We all need to know God more deeply. Come, learn with me! On the Sister Studies podcast, you'll find reflections and scripture recordings to help you know God as He has revealed Himself to us through the Bible, so we can experience Him more in our lives. While these studies were originally created for the women of my church, they're really for anyone who wants to know God more.
Regular episodes include my reflections on knowing God. Simply Scripture episodes are collections of scripture based on a theme, pieced together, and read without commentary.
May God bless you as you listen!

Obedience - It's a Seatbelt and a Seed
When you hear the word "OBEDIENCE" do you cringe, either because you don't like to obey or because your kids or students don't obey you? Hang on… don't click away just yet. Yes, God calls each of us to obedience but it's a BLESSING, sometimes like a seatbelt that protects us and sometimes like a seed that grows in surprising ways.

Beyond #Blessed - Lent 2022 series
It's so easy to look at our lives or the lives of others and think we know what it means to be BLESSED, whether we feel like we are being blessed as much as others or not. But what if there's more to being blessed than having a nice home, happy family, and flawless instagram feed? Let's see what Jesus has to say in Matthew 5.

New Years, New Mornings, New Mercies ~ from the Sister Studies Archives
Reflecting on Lamentations 3:22-24, I am encouraged by the prophet Jeremiah's determination. As he turned his mind AWAY from the trouble surrounding him and the people of Israel, he turned his heart TOWARD God's faithfulness and that's where he found hope. As we enter a new year, may we find God's mercies are indeed new--not just every January 1st, but every other day of the year as well.

The Perfect Christmas ~ from the Sister Studies Archives
Reflecting on Romans 5:1-5, I see all of the Advent themes: Peace, Hope, Joy, Love, and Jesus. I also see that afflictions are part of what God uses to shine glory through our lives the same way that fire makes candles shine brightly. I finish with remembering that the Christmas Mary and Joseph experienced was nothing like the polished, clean, "perfect" Christmas many people dream of today. Perhaps our Christmas celebrations don't need to be Pinterest-perfect to be perfect after all. Because real Christmas isn’t about perfect memories and perfect experiences. It’s about God rescuing us from our attempts to be perfect by sending his Son and revealing His glory and kindness in the lowest of places, to the neediest and messiest of people.
