    Psalms 102–103; 110; 116–119; 127–128; 135–139; 146–150, Let Every Thing That Hath Breath Praise the Lord

    In this episode, Becky Squire and Tess Frame continue their study of Psalms, focusing on chapters 102–150 and the Come, Follow Me theme, “Let Everything That Hath Breath Praise the Lord.” These psalms move through anguish, comfort, prophecy, identity, family, and praise, showing that worship is not reserved for the moment after a problem is solved. One of the central questions of the episode is simple but challenging: can we praise God while we are still in the middle of the trial? The conversation highlights several themes throughout these psalms, including Jesus Christ as the promised King, scripture as a lamp for our path, family as part of God’s work, and the danger of modern idols. Becky and Tess reflect on how even good things, like productivity, family roles, health, or religious practice, can become misplaced priorities when they take our focus away from Christ. They also explore the joy found in the final psalms, where praise becomes loud, physical, and wholehearted rather than quiet or restrained. For women especially, the episode offers encouragement that unseen work is still seen by God. Motherhood, caregiving, careers, family responsibilities, and quiet acts of faith all matter in His work. Comfort is available in the messy middle, not only after the trial ends. This episode invites listeners to hand their burdens to the Savior, recognize what they may be placing before Him, and choose to praise God now, even before every problem is fixed. 00:00 INTRO 01:04 Psalms 102–150 Overview 02:02 Praising God Before the Problem Is Fixed 02:49 Hallelujah Anyway 03:05 Psalms Means Praises 03:52 From Anguish to Praise 04:39 Psalms That Point to Jesus Christ 05:37 Scripture as a Lamp for the Path 06:41 Family, Legacy, and God’s Work 07:44 Recognizing Modern Idols 08:48 When Good Things Become Idols 09:20 Religious Practice as an Idol 10:29 The Work of Our Hands 11:47 Focus on Your Own Idols 12:09 You Are Fully Known by God 12:46 The Final Psalms of Pure Praise 13:41 Rejoicing With Your Whole Heart 15:50 Praise God in the Middle of the Trial 16:24 Comfort in the Messy Middle 17:08 Invisible Work Is Seen by God 18:00 God Knows You Completely 18:55 What Can We Give Back to God? 19:47 Questions for Personal Reflection #CertainWomenPodcast #ComeFollowMe #Psalms #PraiseTheLord #FaithInChrist #WomenOfFaith #JesusChrist #TrustGod #SpiritualGrowth Follow us here: https://instagram.com/beckysquire https://instagram.com/tesiahframe https://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast

    Psalms 49–51; 61–66; 69–72; 77–78; 85–86, I Will Declare What He Hath Done for My Soul

    In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire continue their study of Psalms, focusing on chapters 49–86 and the Come, Follow Me theme, “I Will Declare What He Hath Done for My Soul.” These psalms explore wealth, repentance, trust, suffering, worship, and the full range of human emotion. Rather than simply teaching outward religious practice, they point again and again to the condition of the heart and to a relationship with God that shapes the way we actually live. The conversation highlights Psalm 51 and the plea, “Create in me a clean heart,” as a powerful picture of repentance and real change. Tess and Becky reflect on the difference between performative faith and a life genuinely centered on Jesus Christ. They also discuss trusting God over wealth or worldly security, remembering His works, teaching children what He has done, and allowing Him to become our refuge when life feels overwhelming. Throughout these psalms, faith is shown as something deeply personal, honest, and lived. They also connect these lessons to women today, especially the pressure to appear perfect, carry guilt, or measure faith through outward performance. Repentance is presented as healing and restoration, not simply punishment, and forgiveness is something we receive through a broken heart and contrite spirit rather than a flawless record. This episode invites listeners to come to God honestly, remember what He has done, and trust that He can change, restore, and strengthen us as we keep turning back to Him. 00:00 INTRO 01:41 Psalms 49–86 Overview 02:02 Wealth Cannot Redeem the Soul 03:26 God Wants Righteousness, Not Empty Worship 04:00 When Christianity Becomes Performative 04:34 Create in Me a Clean Heart 05:41 Asking God to Change Us 08:00 God Is Our Refuge 08:22 Trusting God Over Worldly Security 09:35 Thirsting for God 10:44 God Sees What Is Hidden 11:28 God Blesses His Creation 12:11 Remember and Declare God’s Works 13:00 Turning to God in Suffering 14:57 Remembering God in Anguish 16:55 Teaching Our Children to Remember 19:26 Mercy, Truth, Righteousness, and Peace 22:21 God Is Ready to Forgive 23:16 The Full Spectrum of Faith 25:03 Forgiveness Is Not Earned by Perfection 26:37 Women as Memory Keepers 27:46 Confession Leads to Restoration 28:38 Repentance Is Healing 29:57 God Is Safe Enough for Honesty 30:20 Come to God as You Are #CertainWomenPodcast #ComeFollowMe #Psalms #CreateInMeACleanHeart #FaithInChrist #Repentance #WomenOfFaith #JesusChrist #SpiritualGrowth Follow us here: https://instagram.com/beckysquire https://instagram.com/tesiahframe https://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast

    Psalms 1–2; 8; 19–33; 40; 46, The Lord Is My Shepherd

    In this episode, Becky Squire and Tess Frame explore the book of Psalms and the Come, Follow Me theme, “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” Unlike the historical books that tell stories through people and events, Psalms gives us a window into the heart. Through poetry, praise, fear, doubt, peace, and worship, these writings capture the full range of human emotion and show how people have turned to God through every kind of experience. The conversation focuses especially on Psalm 23 and the image of Jesus Christ as the shepherd. Tess and Becky look closely at the language of green pastures, still waters, the rod and staff, and the anointing of the sheep with oil. They reflect on what these symbols teach about protection, guidance, healing, and the relationship between the shepherd and the sheep. Rather than being forced to stay close, the sheep learn to trust the shepherd because they know he will lead them somewhere safe. They also connect the shepherd metaphor to the way women often measure their worth through productivity, family, careers, callings, or how much they accomplish in a day. Psalm 23 offers a different picture: comfort comes from being led, rather than constantly proving our worth through performance. This episode invites listeners to slow down, trust the Shepherd, and remember that He is patiently leading us toward green pastures and still waters, one faithful step at a time.

    Job 1–3; 12–14; 19; 21–24; 38–40; 42, Yet Will I Trust in Him

    In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore the book of Job and the Come, Follow Me theme, “Yet Will I Trust in Him.” Job begins as a faithful and blessed man, yet he experiences devastating loss, including his children, possessions, health, and sense of security. Through it all, his story becomes a powerful example of faith despite circumstance, showing what it can look like to continue believing in God even when life offers few answers. The conversation looks honestly at suffering, grief, unanswered questions, and the assumption that hardship must somehow reflect a person’s righteousness. Job refuses that simple explanation and continues wrestling with God while holding onto his faith. Tess and Becky reflect on the hope found in Job’s declarations that his Redeemer lives and that he will continue to trust the Lord. They emphasize that faith can include questions, pain, and uncertainty, while still remaining anchored in Jesus Christ. They also reflect on how we support others during difficult seasons. Job’s friends often try to explain or fix his suffering when what he needs most is compassion. For women navigating grief, motherhood, relationships, health challenges, or other trials, this episode offers permission to acknowledge the pain while continuing to trust God. Job never receives a complete explanation for his suffering, but he comes to know that his Redeemer lives and that God is big enough to trust, even when the why remains unanswered.

    Esther, Thou Art Come … for Such a Time as This

    In this episode, Becky Squire and Tess Frame explore the story of Esther and the Come, Follow Me theme, “For Such a Time as This.” Living as a Jewish woman in the Persian Empire, Esther had limited control over her circumstances, yet God placed her in a position where her faith and courage could help save an entire nation. Her story shows that even when God seems quiet, He may still be working through timing, relationships, and events that initially appear ordinary. The conversation highlights Esther’s willingness to seek heaven before taking action. Rather than relying only on her own courage, she asks her people to fast and then approaches the king at great personal risk. Becky and Tess also reflect on Queen Vashti, Mordecai’s guidance, and Esther’s wisdom in choosing when and how to speak. Her strength appears through patience, service, humility, persistent intercession, and a willingness to act one step at a time. They also connect Esther’s story to women today who may wonder why they are facing a particular season or where their influence truly matters. God has always worked through willing people, including those who feel overlooked, uncertain, or unprepared. This episode invites listeners to ask where God has placed them, what opportunities are already in front of them, and whether they may have been prepared for such a time as this. #CertainWomenPodcast #ComeFollowMe #Esther #ForSuchATimeAsThis #WomenInTheScriptures #LatterDaySaintWomen #FaithInChrist #WomenOfFaith #SpiritualCourage

    Ezra 1; 3–7; Nehemiah 2; 4–6; 8, I Am Doing a Great Work

    In this episode, Becky Squire and Tess Frame explore the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, focusing on Israel’s return from exile and the work of rebuilding both the temple and the walls of Jerusalem. After decades of captivity, God fulfills His promise by preparing the way for His covenant people to return home. Through King Cyrus, Ezra, and Nehemiah, they reflect on how God often works through unexpected people and circumstances to accomplish His purposes. The conversation centers on faithful perseverance in the face of opposition. As the temple and city walls are rebuilt, the people encounter criticism, discouragement, and resistance, yet they continue the work one step at a time. Becky and Tess draw meaningful parallels to modern discipleship, reminding listeners that opposition is often a sign they are pursuing God's work. They also highlight Nehemiah's declaration, "I am doing a great work," as an invitation to stay focused on what God has called each of us to do rather than becoming distracted by fear or criticism. They also emphasize that rebuilding faith happens brick by brick. Through prayer, scripture study, covenant keeping, and daily acts of obedience, God gradually transforms both individuals and communities. This episode encourages listeners to trust God's promises, find joy in the temple, and remember that ordinary, faithful efforts become part of His extraordinary work.

    In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore 2 Chronicles 14–20, 26, and 30, focusing on the reigns of Asa, Jehoshaphat, Uzziah, and Hezekiah. Unlike Kings, Chronicles emphasizes covenant renewal, temple worship, and God’s willingness to respond to sincere repentance. Through these righteous kings, the conversation highlights what happens when individuals and nations seek the Lord with humility, trust, and wholehearted devotion.The discussion centers on trusting God through uncertainty and success alike. Tess and Becky reflect on Jehoshaphat’s simple but powerful prayer, "Our eyes are upon thee," as a reminder that faith doesn't require having every answer. They also explore how pride quietly grows during seasons of success through Uzziah’s story, encouraging listeners to continually invite God into the areas of life where they feel strongest. Throughout the episode, they emphasize that God values sincere repentance and wholehearted worship far more than flawless performance.They also highlight the inclusive spirit of Hezekiah’s Passover, where grace was extended to all who sincerely sought the Lord.

    2 Kings 16–25, He Trusted in the Lord God of Israel

Through the stories of Hezekiah, Josiah, and the prophetess Huldah, they examine what happens when individuals and nations drift from God—and how sincere repentance and covenant renewal can bring spiritual revival, even in the darkest seasons.The conversation highlights Huldah, a prophetess whose faithful witness shaped the future of an entire nation. Becky and Tess reflect on the influence of women throughout these chapters, from Huldah’s prophetic authority to the often-overlooked role of the queen mothers whose names are carefully preserved in scripture. They remind listeners that spiritual influence is grounded in covenant faithfulness rather than public recognition, and that quiet discipleship often carries lasting impact.Throughout the episode, they emphasize the power of returning to God's word. Josiah’s discovery of the lost book of the law becomes a reminder that personal and family scripture study remains one of the most powerful ways to strengthen faith and anchor our lives in truth. Whether facing opposition, cultural pressure, or personal trials, this episode encourages listeners to trust God's promises, remain faithful through daily acts of discipleship, and remember that His covenant purposes continue despite the failures of individuals or nations.Follow us here:https://instagram.com/beckysquirehttps://instagram.com/tesiahframehttps://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast
