    #16 Elijah Was a Relatable King Part 1

    Elijah called down fire from heaven, and then a day later he was hiding under a tree asking God to take his life. Lauren and Jessica talk about how this prophet, so close to God, still crashed hard when Jezebel put a hit out on him, and why that makes him so relatable.They also look at how Elijah prayed for rain even though God had already promised it, and how God met him at his lowest point with bread, water, and rest instead of a scolding.

    #15 Can You Love Her and Still Not Be Her Friend?

    Female-on-female crime, but make it biblical. Lauren and Jessica take the toxic mom era into the friend group: the gossip, the alliance-building, the backhanded comments, and what to do when half the group decides to be Switzerland. They dig into what Scripture actually says and why women pushing 40 should probably stop handling friend drama like college girls in a bar bathroom.

    #14 Pain Isn't Always Harm: Letting Our Kids Not Make the Team

    When our kid doesn't make the team, every mom instinct says fix it, but what if the disappointment is exactly what they need? Lauren and Jessica get real about the youth sports arms race, from first-grade flag football drafts to a "you made the team" email that got taken back two hours later. They talk about the difference between advocating for your child and positioning them, and why not getting picked can teach resilience, humility, and dependence on God, plus a gut-check list for figuring out whether it's wisdom or fear running the show.

    #13 Enough Ever Enough? Parenting on the Hamster Wheel

    Everyone else is organizing the activities, planning the play dates, and curating the friend groups, so why does it never feel like enough? Jessica and Lauren look at how social media turned parenting into a game of catch-up that their own parents never played.Then they turn to Mary, the mother of Jesus, for what it looks like to stop running and trust God with your kids (Luke 1).

    #12 Esau, Jacob, and the Generational Grudge God Never Forgot

    Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of stew, and honestly, Lauren and Jessica get it — they'll admit to hitting "add to cart" for the same dopamine hit. This week they trace one moment of instant gratification all the way from Esau and Jacob to Laban's wedding-night bait-and-switch, to the Amalekites, to King Saul's half-hearted obedience, to Haman and Esther centuries later — showing how one small choice to value what's in front of you over what God promised can ripple through generations.Plus: prayer walks, why Lauren can't listen to anything without also scrolling, and a very thorough breakdown of Jacob's 14-year situationship.

    #11 Esther Was That Girl: Living Boldly When It’s Not Easy

    This week on Spill the Word, we're breaking down the Book of Esther — the seven-day benders, the "please show up naked, honey" party invite, a year of beauty treatments that low-key sound like a nightmare, and the girl who became queen and then risked it all to save her people.We get into the infamous "for such a time as this" verse, why it's not just a cute Pinterest quote but a call to actual courage, and what it means to live boldly for God in a culture that makes it so easy to stay comfortable and quiet.If you've ever wondered whether your position — in your family, your friendships, your workplace — actually means something, this one's for you. Esther was always that girl, and we should strive to be Esthers too.Follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

    #10 The Sins of Your Fathers Are Not Your Life Sentence

    Turns out you can inherit more than your mom's nose — patterns of divorce, anger, and bitterness can get passed down too, and Lauren and Jessica are calling it what it is: generational curses. They walk through the real context of Exodus 20:5, why "punishing the children" isn't the scary curse-verse it sounds like, and how forgiveness is actually the key to breaking the cycle. Plus: Jessica's grandmother's story of trading a hard start for a legacy that "trickled down" into something good.
