God Is Within Her - a women’s devotional podcast

Are You Hungry And Thirsty For God’s Word?

Hey friends! Welcome to Season 4 of God Is Within Her!!
On today's episode, we are going to reflect on our hunger for God and His Word. It is a little too easy to become dependent on someone feeding you His word but yet we never develop the hunger to fed ourselves. Yet the Bible says that we should be hungry and thirsty for righteousness. We should have the desire to seek it out on our own. Does this mean we can't supplement with sermons, podcasts, or seek the advice of someone who is more mature in their faith? Absolutely not! But we do need to develop the desire to seek it out on our own, when no one is there to teach us. Because the best teacher we can have is the Holy Spirit Himself. If you have Him, you have everything you need.

I’m Baaaack! Welcome To Season 4!!!

Hey friends!!! Did ya miss me?!Oh I am so excited to be back for season 4 of God Is Within Her podcast! Gear up as we dive even deeper into God's word and see what His Word says about how to live life well and like Jesus!Not familiar with the podcast? Well, girlllll, let me explain it to you! 😘 GIWH is a devotional podcast for the every day Christian woman! We grow our faith. Grow a closer relationship with God. And grow our confidence through Christ, not self. 
This ain’t another “let’s study the book of Esther” devotional, either. No offense to Esther, she is my girl! But why do we focus women Bible studies on, what feels like, only Ruth and Esther? Where is the meat? Where is the theology? 
That’s what you’re going to get here. You’ll get roots. You’ll get deep dives. You’ll get tough topics. And, most importantly, we do it all with our eyes fixed on Jesus.
If that’s what you’re looking for, congratulations! You found it!
See ya in February!

Lessons From The Man After God’s Own Heart

Hey friends! Welcome to the final episode of Season 3 of God Is Within Her. We will return after the holidays and New Year! Today we are in 1 Chronicles 21. David, who is coined "a man after God's own heart", isn't a sinless man. Honestly, if David were a modern man, I don't think many of us would look up to him the way we do in the Bible. Just being honest...but David gives us so many lessons on how to truly be a man, or woman, after God's own heart. How he sins, yet repents, and still strives to be obedient to God.Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com

Why Does It Sometime Seem Like God Is Unfair?

Hey friends! Today,  we tackle a hard question that we sometimes will just plain avoid. We might be embarassed to ask the question. Or we might think we are a bad Christian if we ever entertain this question. But sometimes, doesn't it feel like God is unfair? Like why do some people have the dreams you have? Why hasn't God answered your prayer like He has for other people?? How come you feel like your prayers have gone unanswered and life is a struggle, and yet another person's life looks picture perfect and full of blessing and easy street?Well...the answer might not be what you think? *hint* It's less about fairness and more about generosity. Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com

Showing Yourself Grace When Life Happens

Hey friends! If anyone has had a rough week and, perhaps, gotten behind on time with God, this episode is for you.I struggled this past week between work and sick kids. I didn't sleep well at all. Just a couple of hours a night. This made me skip my early morning alarms and my morning quiet time 4 out of the 5 days last week. It left me feeling physically, mentally and spiritually drained. My cup was very empty. So empty, I barely even recorded this podcast. But then God gave me the message to share: share about how sometimes life happens, we aren't perfect humans, and sometimes we have to show ourselves grace in certain moments or even seasons in our life. So that is what today's episode is about. Show yourself grace. Don't abuse the grace and allow it to turn into excuses. And let's get determined enough to get back on the horse tomorrow. Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com

No One Is Righteous So How Can God Still Show Me Grace?

Hey friends! Today's passages are in Romans 3 and 5. We chat about the balance between being confident in your faith and salvation, but not allowing that confidence to turn into arrogance and pride. We also chat about staying humble in our faith, but not allowing ourselves to become self-deprecating that we feel like we are too messed up for God's grace.  I call it being humbly confident in our faith. Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com

Personal Convictions vs. Biblical Principals: What’s The Difference and What Should We Do If Someone Disagrees With Our Convictions?

Hey friends! Today we are in Romans 14, a passage where Paul tackles the issue of what he calls "disputable matters". These disputable matters are essentials matters that are not black and white in the Bible and leave room for personal conviction from Holy Spirit for us to use discernment to determine what is best for us and our families. Now, personal convictions are not just "my truths" or "my opinion". Personal convictions still must not contradict God's will and design. But they are also not clear, black and white Biblical principals either such as the resurrection, certain things being clear sin, etc. And we must be careful with making sure we are not confusing our personal convictions as Biblical principals for all to follow. There are many areas where Christians can agree to disagree. In the end, we must remember we are all on Team Jesus and we shouldn't let these disputable matters divide us as a church.Would you like to have access to even more in-depth and exclusive Jesus-based content?

Everything Is By God’s Design

Hey friends! Today we are in 1 Chronicles 1. I know it's not the most common passage to read and, if you've ever read 1 Chronicles, you might be asking yourself "what in the world can we learn from a bunch of genealogy lists?" Because that is essentially what 1 Chronicles 1-9 are: genealogies that go all the way back to Adam and Eve! So what does this have to do with us in modern times. I promise I have a reason!

Is Your Faith Built on What You Believe? Or What You Can See Only?

Hey friends! On today's episode, I challenge you and your faith. We dive into what the word faith really means. And I want you to become aware of any points in your faith where you are not led by your hope in the unseen (=God) but you're easily influenced by what you can see. Your circumstance. Your situation. Is your faith strong when life around you is going great? And does your faith waiver when all you see is struggle and hardship? Remember, faith is hope in what we do NOT see. Our faith should not be influenced by what we can see around us. That's not true faith at all. Support the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // info@valreynolds.com
