  • Episode 82: Philippians 3
    Hope for Right Now Podcast – Grace and Glory: Philippians 3 Join Lisa and Laura for our four-week podcast series—Grace and Glory, based on Saint Paul’s letter to the Philippians.  Often called The Epistle of Joy, Saint Paul’s letter overflows with rejoicing, gratitude, and encouragement—amazing, when you consider that Paul wrote it from a prison cell. As women seeking joy but who often feel confined by our circumstances, what was Saint Paul’s secret? How do we rejoice in our suffering? How do we remain grateful when our situation is the opposite of what we were hoping for?  In this third episode of Grace and Glory, Lisa and Laura talk about wasting time, letting go of expectations, and the secret to knowing Christ. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Philippians 3 Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Matthew 13:45–46: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection. In what/whom do you look to find yourself? What keeps you from truly knowing Jesus?  This week, “waste time” with Jesus. Let go of the activity and rest at His feet. Show mentions. We've got inspired Christmas gifts for all the special women and girls on your list.

  • Episode 80: Philippians 1
    Hope for Right Now Podcast – Grace and Glory: Philippians 1 Lisa and Laura are back and launching a brand-new four-week podcast series—Grace and Glory, based on Saint Paul’s letter to the Philippians.  Often called The Epistle of Joy, Saint Paul’s letter overflows with rejoicing, gratitude, and encouragement—amazing, when you consider that Paul wrote it from a prison cell. As women seeking joy but who often feel confined by our circumstances, what was Saint Paul’s secret? How do we rejoice in our suffering? How do we remain grateful when our situation is the opposite of what we were hoping for?  In this first episode of Grace and Glory, Lisa and Laura unpack Saint Paul’s message and reveal how the same joy he wrote about can be yours—no matter what life throws your way. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Philippians 1 Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Romans 3:23: Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Luke 19:10: For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost. Hebrews 12:14: Strive for peace with all men, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. Acts 28:20: For this reason therefore I have asked to see you and speak with you, since it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain. Colossians 4:3–4: And pray for us also, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison, that I may make it clear, as I ought to speak. Colossians 4:18: Remember my chains. Ephesians 6:20: I am an ambassador in chains. 1 Peter 5:10–11: And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you. To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Luke 7:47: Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven a little, loves a little. Galatians 2:20: I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I know live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection. Are you feeling stuck in some way or feeling chained to some hard or painful circumstance in your life? Who is observing you in that situation? What are they learning from the way in which you are responding to your suffering? Is there someone you are called to preach the gospel to using the indescribable power of unconditional love? Who are you called to tempt to hope? Show mentions. Just in!

  • Episode 79: How to Stop Worrying about the Future
    Hope for Right Now Podcast – Truth with Handles: How to Stop Worrying about the Future When you’re navigating life’s challenges, you don’t need truth dumped all over you or shouted at you all at once; you need practical, faith-filled wisdom and Bible verses for everyday struggles. At Walking with Purpose, we call this “truth with handles”—biblical truths you can actually hold onto and provide relief from your pressure points. Each week during our six-week series, Truth with Handles, Laura shares a new topic with a corresponding Scripture passage, breaking it down into actionable, hope-filled steps to strengthen your faith and bring peace to your daily life. Today's topic: How to Stop Worrying about the Future. If you join the many women who lie awake at night worrying about a future problem that might never happen, this is the episode for you. You’ll discover what’s at the root of your anxiety and learn three simple things you can start doing today to decrease your worrying and increase your peace. Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Matthew 6:34: Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day. Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. James 4:14: You do not know about tomorrow. Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Philippians 4:13: I can do all things in Him who strengthens me. Isaiah 43:2: When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. 2 Corinthians 10:5: We destroy arguments and every proud obstacle to the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection. If you are feeling worried, anxious, or afraid, ask yourself, “Where is my focus?” What specific fears or "what-if" scenarios are you clinging to? Sit in the silence and ask God for the strength to stay in the present, and then thank Him for the grace for the present moment. Show mentions.

If you have been searching for a cure, only to find yourself at the end of your resources, today’s episode is a must listen! Open your Heart to our key Scripture. Mark 5:24-34 Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode. Romans 8:28: We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose. James 5:16: Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for another, that you may be healed. 2 Corinthians 5:7: For we walk by faith, not by sight. 1 Peter 1:7: So that the genuineness of our faith, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Matthew 9:28-29: “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be done to you.” Luke 7:50: Your faith has saved you; go in peace. Mark 10:52: Go your way; your faith has made you well. Mark 2:5: And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 9:24: I believe; help my unbelief.
