Psalm 22

1 Peter 2:19-22

Hebrews 12:2

*This episode is longer because we need to meditate on the countercultural traits that God values in us as women!

In this final episode of our study through Proverbs, we explore the wisdom of Proverbs 30–31 and discover that God's vision for a godly woman is far more encouraging than an impossible checklist.

Many women approach Proverbs 31 feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or convinced they're falling short. But what if this chapter isn't meant to crush us? What if it's actually a celebration of the strength, wisdom, diligence, and influence God has given women?

Join Stephanie Hickox as we walk through the closing chapters of Proverbs, examining Agur's humble prayer for daily dependence on God, King Lemuel's mother's warnings about temptation and leadership, and the famous portrait of the Proverbs 31 woman. Together we'll see how Scripture calls us to faithfulness, wisdom, generosity, kindness, and above all, the fear of the Lord.

Whether you're a busy mom, a wife, a mentor, or simply a woman seeking to follow Christ, this episode offers biblical encouragement to help you view your daily work through God's eyes.

• Why Agur's prayer for "neither poverty nor riches" is still relevant today
• What Proverbs teaches about contentment and dependence on God
• A mother's wisdom to her son about leadership, self-control, and defending the vulnerable
• Understanding Proverbs 31 as encouragement rather than an impossible standard
• Why the Proverbs 31 woman is described as strong, courageous, and wise
• The eternal value of a mother's influence
• What it means to have "the teaching of kindness" on your tongue
• How distraction can keep us from focusing on what matters most
• Why charm and outward beauty are temporary, but the fear of the Lord lasts forever

• Proverbs 30:5–9
• Proverbs 30:17
• Proverbs 31:1–9
• Proverbs 31:10–31
• Psalm 127:2

The Proverbs 31 woman is not presented as an exhausting to-do list but as a beautiful picture of a life shaped by the fear of the Lord. Her strength, wisdom, generosity, diligence, and kindness flow from a heart that trusts God. As believers, our goal is not perfection but faithful dependence on Christ, who is at work in us day by day.

What happens when someone blessed with extraordinary wisdom slowly compromises their devotion to God?

In this episode of The Dwelling Place, we study 1 Kings 10–11 and 2 Chronicles 9, exploring the visit of the Queen of Sheba, Solomon's incredible wealth, and the heartbreaking decline of a king who knew God's commands yet chose a different path.

We examine why the Queen of Sheba traveled so far to see Solomon, how her response points beyond human wisdom to the glory of God, and why Jesus later used her as an example of genuine spiritual hunger.

As Solomon accumulates the very things God warned Israel's kings against—gold, horses, and wives—we see the devastating consequences of small compromises. His story serves as a sobering reminder that wisdom alone is not enough. We need hearts that remain wholly devoted to the Lord.

We'll also wrestle with an important question for parents: Is anger always sinful? Looking at God's response to Solomon's rebellion, we discover that anger is not necessarily the opposite of love. Often, righteous anger reveals how deeply we care about God's ways and the spiritual well-being of those we love.

Whether you're studying the Bible, raising children, or simply seeking to guard your own heart, this passage offers both warning and hope as it points us back to our faithful Savior.

• The Queen of Sheba's surprising reason for visiting Solomon
• Why Jesus commended the Queen of Sheba in the Gospels
• Solomon's accumulation of gold, horses, and wives
• God's warnings to Israel's kings in Deuteronomy 17
• The danger of gradual compromise
• Why Solomon's heart turned away from the Lord
• Understanding righteous anger versus sinful anger
• Jeroboam and the prophecy of the divided kingdom
• What Solomon's life teaches us about repentance and faithfulness
• How to guard your heart against spiritual drift

• 1 Kings 10–11
• 2 Chronicles 9
• Deuteronomy 17:16–20
• Matthew 12:42
• 2 Timothy 2:11–13
• Proverbs 4:23

Solomon's life reminds us that knowledge and wisdom are not enough to keep us faithful. The greatest dangers often come through small compromises that slowly pull our hearts away from God. Yet the Lord graciously calls us to guard our hearts, repent quickly, and remain wholly devoted to Him.

The Dwelling Place is a Bible reading podcast from Entrusted Ministries, helping busy moms and families delight in God's Word through daily Scripture reading, biblical encouragement, and prayer.

If this episode encouraged you, please leave a review and share it with a friend. Your support helps more women stay faithful in God's Word and discover that He alone is our true dwelling place.

In this episode of The Dwelling Place Podcast, Stephanie Hickox walks through Proverbs 17–20, uncovering practical wisdom for Christian moms who desire to raise children in the fear of the Lord and build homes marked by grace, self-control, and biblical truth.

One theme rises above the rest: the power of our words. Solomon repeatedly reminds us that our speech can bring life or destruction, strengthen relationships or create conflict, and reveal the true condition of our hearts. As parents, wives, and disciples of Christ, our words matter deeply.

Stephanie shares memorable illustrations that can help children understand why Scripture calls us to be slow to speak and quick to listen. You'll also discover biblical encouragement for navigating sibling conflicts, cultivating strong family relationships, pursuing heart-level discipleship, and helping children develop wisdom that lasts a lifetime.

Most importantly, this episode points us to Jesus—the perfect source of wisdom—who always knew when to speak, when to remain silent, when to offer correction, and when to extend compassion.

Whether you're studying Proverbs, seeking biblical parenting encouragement, or longing to grow in self-control and wisdom, this episode will equip you to apply God's Word in everyday family life.

• Proverbs 17–20 explained
• The power of words in parenting
• Teaching children self-control and wisdom
• Biblical communication for families
• Raising children in the fear of the Lord
• Helping kids understand the impact of their speech
• Sibling relationships and family unity
• Listening before judging a situation
• Heart-level discipleship and parenting
• Finding wisdom in God's Word
• Following Jesus' example in our conversations
• Practical applications from Proverbs for moms

• Proverbs 17
• Proverbs 18
• Proverbs 19
• Proverbs 20
• James 3

• "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."
• A joyful heart is good medicine.
• Wisdom listens before speaking.
• God calls us to pursue the hearts of our children, not merely their behavior.
• Strong families are built through grace, truth, and intentional discipleship.

If you've ever struggled with impatient words, sibling conflicts, emotional reactions, or knowing how to guide your children toward wisdom, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical tools rooted in Scripture. Learn how to cultivate a home where words bring life, relationships are strengthened, and God's wisdom shapes every conversation.

I know I've had to talk fast recently to get everything in, but I slow down just a little bit as we prepare to leave Egypt with the Israelites. It's a solemn exit and full of grieving for all who did not heed the word of the LORD. God gives specific instructions for honoring the Passover, but there are certainly things left unsaid. If you are in a season of waiting on God for guidance, be encouraged that you just may have what He wants you to have right now.

We're not coming to the Word to confirm our view of God, we are coming to learn more about who He truly is. And He could not be more worthy of our worship.

We'll see the power of the Lord to transform bitter and angry hearts, but we'll also read how righteous anger can be handled unrighteously. Today will conclude our journey with Jacob. It can be hard to go through and say goodbye to these characters so quickly, but let's not forget who the main character of all of this is. It's the Lord Jesus who is coming to set all things right.

Do you want someone to take you by the hand and lead you through The Bible to explain what God says about parenting--while you get to know other moms? Entrusted with a Child's Heart is for you! This quick episode explains how this biblical parenting study can guide moms, bless your church, and actually help the leaders! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-again-podcast-for-christian-moms-encouragement-in/id1700555502

How do we raise children who can recognize temptation, walk in wisdom, and remain faithful to God's design in a culture filled with distractions and deception?

In this episode of The Dwelling Place from Entrusted Ministries, Stephanie Hickox continues through Proverbs 5–7, exploring some of the Bible's most practical warnings about temptation, purity, marriage, and wise decision-making.

While these chapters contain mature themes and this episode is intended for moms, the wisdom found in Proverbs is essential for Christian parents seeking to prepare their children for the challenges they will face in today's world.

Through Solomon's warnings against the adulterous woman, we discover timeless principles about guarding our hearts, protecting our marriages, discipling our children, and staying close to the Lord—the only One who can truly satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts.

• Biblical wisdom for protecting your marriage and family
• Why temptation often begins in the heart long before it becomes an action
• How Christian parents can prepare children for cultural pressures
• Practical lessons from Proverbs 5–7 for modern families
• Guarding our hearts, minds, and technology habits
• Teaching children biblical purity in age-appropriate ways
• The importance of vigilance in a digital world
• Why God's design for marriage is worth protecting
• Finding healing, restoration, and hope after failure
• How Scripture helps us recognize and avoid destructive paths

• Proverbs 5
• Proverbs 6:6–8
• Proverbs 6:20–35
• Proverbs 7

As Christian moms, we're called to do more than manage behavior—we're called to help our children develop wisdom and discernment. Proverbs reminds us that every choice leads somewhere, and that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is teaching them how to recognize truth, avoid temptation, and walk closely with Christ.

This episode also explores how parents can begin conversations about purity, technology, relationships, and wisdom in ways that are both biblical and age-appropriate.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the culture your children are growing up in, this episode offers both practical wisdom and hope.

God's Word does not leave families defenseless. Through Scripture, prayer, and intentional discipleship, we can help our children learn to ponder the path of their feet—and the clicks of their fingers.

Most importantly, we are reminded that our hope is not in our own strength but in Jesus Christ, whose mercy is greater than our failures and whose wisdom is sufficient for every challenge we face.

In this episode, we pray for:

• Protection over marriages and families
• Wisdom for parents raising children in a digital age
• Courage to have difficult but necessary conversations
• Freedom from temptation and destructive habits
• Healing for those affected by unfaithfulness
• A deeper fear of the Lord and devotion to Christ

Whether you're studying Proverbs, seeking help with biblical parenting, learning to pray Scripture, or looking for encouragement in Christian motherhood, this episode offers practical biblical wisdom for everyday life.

In this episode of The Dwelling Place from Entrusted Ministries, Stephanie Hickox begins a journey through the Book of Proverbs—one of the most practical and life-changing books in all of Scripture for Christian parents.

Whether you're reading the Bible for the first time, leading family devotions, discipling your children, or simply longing for greater wisdom in your own life, Proverbs offers timeless guidance rooted in the fear of the Lord.

Together, we'll explore how biblical wisdom shapes our parenting, our relationships, our decisions, and our walk with Christ. We'll also discover why Proverbs is much more than self-help—it is God's invitation to practical righteousness and wholehearted dependence on Him.

• Why Proverbs is one of the most valuable books for Christian parents
• The meaning of "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge"
• How to teach children wisdom instead of merely correcting behavior
• Understanding the difference between wise and foolish choices
• Why parenting is not a formula—and what God calls us to instead

• How can I help my kids develop godly character?
• What does biblical discipline actually look like?
• How do I pray for my children as they grow?

This episode will encourage you to anchor your parenting in God's Word rather than trends, formulas, or fear.

Proverbs reminds us that our greatest goal is not simply raising well-behaved children, but helping our children develop hearts that fear the Lord, treasure His wisdom, and walk faithfully with Him.

Stephanie also discusses Entrusted With a Child's Heart, a discipleship resource from Entrusted Ministries designed to help parents move beyond behavior modification and address the heart issues driving their children's actions through the truth of Scripture.

This episode concludes with a powerful prayer based on Proverbs 2, asking God to help our children:

• Develop a healthy fear of the Lord

*This episode is a little bit longer, but our marriages deserve it!

How do we teach our children God's beautiful design for love, marriage, purity, and lifelong faithfulness in a culture that often promotes the opposite?

In this special episode of The Dwelling Place from Entrusted Ministries, Stephanie Hickox walks through the often misunderstood Book of Song of Songs (Song of Solomon), uncovering the biblical wisdom God provides for courtship, marriage, intimacy, and family discipleship.

While this episode is intended for adult listeners, it offers valuable encouragement for Christian parents who desire to train their children in God's design for relationships and prepare them for healthy, Christ-centered marriages someday.

Together, we'll explore why this book was included in Scripture, what it teaches about purity before marriage, intimacy within marriage, and how faithful marriages can reflect God's character to the world.

• Why Song of Songs is part of God's inspired Word
• The difference between God's design for marriage and the world's view of relationships
• Lessons from Solomon's first marriage before his later compromises
• How purity before marriage strengthens future relationships
• Teaching children to pursue Christ before pursuing romance
• Why parents should train future husbands and wives—not just successful adults
• Protecting marriages from the "little foxes" that can cause damage over time
• Embracing God's design for intimacy as a gift rather than a source of shame
• Finding security and acceptance within a Christ-centered marriage
• Looking beyond imperfect biblical figures to the perfect faithfulness of Jesus Christ

❤️ Biblical Marriage

God created marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman—a relationship designed to display commitment, sacrificial love, forgiveness, and faithfulness.

❤️ Raising Future Godly Spouses

As parents, we're not only raising children for today. We're preparing future husbands and wives who will honor God in their relationships and families.

❤️ Purity and Wisdom

Song of Songs repeatedly encourages believers not to "awaken love until it pleases," reminding us that God's boundaries are gifts designed for our flourishing.

❤️ Protecting Your Marriage

Small compromises can become major problems. This episode explores practical biblical wisdom for nurturing healthy marriages and addressing issues before they grow.

If you've ever struggled with insecurity, comparison, aging, scars, stretch marks, or feeling unseen, Song of Songs offers a beautiful reminder that covenant love sees beyond imperfections. God's design for marriage includes acceptance, delight, faithfulness, and grace.

Most importantly, this book reminds us that even when human relationships fall short, Jesus Christ remains perfectly faithful. He is the ultimate bridegroom who never abandons His people and who is preparing an eternal home for His bride.

What if the greatest gift you could give your children isn't protection from every hardship—but confidence in the Good Shepherd who walks with them through every valley?

In today's episode of The Dwelling Place from Entrusted Ministries, Stephanie Hickox explores 2 Chronicles 1, Psalm 72, and the beloved Psalm 23. Together, we'll discover how God's wisdom, care, and presence provide everything parents need to faithfully raise children in an uncertain world.

Beginning with Solomon's humble request for wisdom, we're reminded that true success comes not from wealth, power, or achievement, but from seeking God above all else. Then, in Psalm 72, we see a king's desire to govern with righteousness, compassion, and justice—qualities every Christian parent longs to cultivate in their own home.

The heart of this episode centers on Psalm 23, one of the most treasured passages in Scripture. Stephanie unpacks what it means for Jesus to be the Good Shepherd and how that truth transforms the fears, anxieties, and burdens so many moms carry for their children.

If you've ever worried about your child's future, struggled with fear over a diagnosis, wrestled with grief, or wondered whether God is truly caring for your family, this episode offers biblical encouragement and lasting hope.

• Parenting with dependence on God's wisdom rather than human understanding
• How Psalm 72 encourages single moms and families who feel alone
• What Psalm 23 teaches about God's care for parents and children
• Finding peace when facing medical uncertainty and difficult diagnoses
• Trusting God when you cannot control your child's circumstances
• Understanding God's goodness in seasons of suffering and hardship
• How Jesus restores wounded hearts and guides families through life's valleys
• Learning to exchange fear for confidence in the Good Shepherd

• 2 Chronicles 1
• Psalm 72
• Psalm 23
• John 10 – Jesus, the Good Shepherd

Whether you're navigating parenting challenges, special needs, medical concerns, grief, anxiety, or simply the daily responsibilities of motherhood, Psalm 23 reminds us that our children ultimately belong to the Shepherd who loves them even more than we do.

God's presence—not the absence of hardship—is our greatest source of peace.

The Lord is our Shepherd. He restores our souls. He walks beside us through every valley. And one day, we will dwell in His presence forever.

As David gives his final charge to Solomon, we’re reminded that true strength is found in obedience to God’s Word.

✨ Honoring parents and authority figures

✨ Why Scripture points us beyond human heroes to Jesus

✨ Encouragement to stay faithful in reading God’s Word this summer

Stephanie also shares heartfelt applications for motherhood and parenting, encouraging moms to train children to find their identity in Christ rather than achievements, success, wealth, or worldly recognition.

Key Bible passages:

• 1 Kings 2–4
• Solomon asking God for wisdom
• David’s charge to “be strong” by obeying God
• The wisdom of the two mothers and the living child
• God’s warnings about wealth, power, and compromise

Welcome to The Dwelling Place from Entrusted Ministries. I’m Stephanie Hickox.

What happens when parents refuse to correct their children? And what can Christian moms and dads learn from David’s failures as a father?

In this episode of The Dwelling Place from Entrusted Ministries, Stephanie Hickox begins the book of First Kings while weaving together powerful encouragement from Psalms 37, 71, and 94.

As Israel transitions from King David to Solomon, we see another son rise up in rebellion—Adonijah exalting himself and attempting to seize the throne. But hidden within the story is a sobering statement about David’s parenting: “His father had never at any time displeased him…”

This episode dives deep into:

• Biblical parenting and loving discipline
• Why children need guidance, correction, and truth
• The danger of passive parenting
• Trusting God during overwhelming seasons of motherhood

In today's episode of The Dwelling Place, we continue our journey through Scripture by exploring the book of Ecclesiastes.

At first glance, Ecclesiastes can feel discouraging. Solomon repeatedly describes life "under the sun" as vanity, a chasing after the wind. He pursued pleasure, wealth, wisdom, achievement, and earthly success, only to discover that none of them could provide lasting satisfaction apart from God.

Yet through the lens of Jesus Christ, Ecclesiastes becomes a powerful reminder that our lives are not meaningless. While earthly accomplishments fade, a life lived in reverence for God has eternal significance.

Join Stephanie as she walks through key passages from Ecclesiastes, highlighting practical wisdom for daily living, the importance of applying knowledge rather than endlessly accumulating it, the gift of enjoying God's blessings, and the hope found in God's eternal purposes.

Together we'll reflect on some of the book's most well-known passages, including:

• "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity" (Ecclesiastes 1:2)
• "There is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
• "For everything there is a season" (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
• "He has made everything beautiful in its time" (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
• "Two are better than one" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12)
• "Fear God and keep His commandments" (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why Ecclesiastes can seem hopeless apart from Christ

• The difference between gaining knowledge and applying wisdom

• How God's gifts are meant to be enjoyed with gratitude

• Why eternal perspective transforms everyday life

• What Scripture teaches about work, wealth, suffering, and joy

• How the fear of the Lord leads to purpose and obedience

• Why Jesus is the Good Shepherd and the true source of wisdom

Whether you're reading through the Bible for the first time or revisiting Ecclesiastes again, this study will encourage you to look beyond temporary pursuits and fix your eyes on the One who gives lasting meaning to every season of life.

First, we'll watch a king establish the priestly duties, then we'll reflect on how we righteously handle our anger, And then we'll conclude with the only king who was also a warrior and a priest. In the last episode, David brought an abundance of gold and silver And much of what Solomon would need to build a dwelling place for the Lord. It wouldn't just be a tent anymore. God was allowing Solomon to build him a temple. If you're a student of history, you know that we can't really call this a permanent dwelling place, but it would be much more secure than a tent. At first glance, these chapters and chronicles might make you feel, " Oh, no, are we diving back into genealogies again?" But they're actually revealing a strength of David's that's often not noticed...

Today, our Bible reading plan covers 2 Samuel 24, 1 Chronicles 21-22, and then Psalms 30, 97-99. We'll see a loving parent setting their child up to worship the Lord. We'll also have confirmation that though His anger is for a moment, God's favor is for a lifetime. How clearly is that displayed in the life of David?! Our first narrative for today displays one of the most controversial differences in scripture, but it's by no means a discrepancy! See this article from "Desiring God" for more clarity.

Today, we're nearing the end of David's life as our reading plan covers Second Samuel chapters twenty-two and twenty-three and Psalms fifty-seven and ninety-five. In our episode today, we'll meditate on a song that David wrote to give God credit for all the ways He delivered and redeemed him. And I can't help but notice when David was at his best. After we look at this passage together, we'll talk about why it's such good news for you as I deliver what I hope is a very encouraging counter-cultural response and application to you as a mom who might feel very busy, overwhelmed, and exhausted.
