The Home and Hearth Podcast

This week we are kicking off week 2 of our brand new solo podcast series, this one based on a book I wrote a few years back entitled "Good News for a Woman's Heart: An Advent Devotional Study". Today we are focusing on week 2 of the study, which centers on living out of the love we have in Christ.

What I Chat about in Today’s Episode:

~An in-depth look at Mary's life and what we can learn from her example

~Why studying Mary's story is a great way to commemorate the Advent week of love

~How love, and not legalism, is the only thing that can motivate and lead to heart change

~The amazing reality that Mary was theologically trained and knowledgeable in a culture when women typically were not; how God's kindness and grace shines forth in this reality - He was equipping her for His call on her life

~How Mary's theology was what enabled her to respond the way she did to the angel's announcement

~The comforting truth that the Lord equips and prepares us for any call He has for us

~Mary's response

~Mary's theology

~Mary's worship

~The difference between your worship of God only ever coming from a place of what you've received from Him and worshipping God simply for Who He is
