Show Summary: Do you ever feel like you’re running on empty? Maybe your schedule is filled and you feel like you have no time to do the things you want to do or spend time with people you miss. Sometimes we feel empty because we’re lacking a community that can help fulfill our needs or lend a hand. Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez realized that women were running themselves dry while simultaneously missing out on a devoted community to spend time with. She founded The Full Collective with the hope of bringing women together to experience the fullness that God wants us to have through Him in our lives. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they learn more about The Full Collective and how we can find fullness through Christ and community during this episode of God Hears Her.

Notes and Quotes: 

• “No matter what the battle that has come forth is, no matter what has tried to be stolen, destroyed, or killed in their life, that does not change the fullness that God has for us.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

• “I was very much in search of God, but I was looking for Him in a lot of things, a lot of different people, and a lot of different places. . . . I was filled with remembering that I am loved and seen by God, and that He’s actually been pursuing me and running after me all these years I’ve been running away from Him.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

• “We have to bring our questions to the feet of Jesus.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez 

• “We need to remember that our faith is not individualized. Although our salvation is individual, the work that the body of Christ is called to do on Earth is a collective work.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez  

• “What is absolute truth is that Jesus came to give us life, and life to the full.” —Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez

Guest Bio: Anh Lin is an interior stylist and the founder of the cozy online shop, TheHoogaShop.com. She is a debut author with her new book, Forever Home, and she is now living with her husband and corgi in a renovated fixer-upper.

Show Summary: Have you ever looked at a space and felt excited by all of the work that needs to be done on it? Maybe you renovated your home, decorated an apartment, or even organized your car trunk in a cute way for all of the running around you do. What if we looked at our hearts as rooms with potential? What if we saw healing as internally renovating? Anh Lin was in the midst of renovating and designing a new home when the Lord opened her eyes to see how the process was similar to our internal healing process. Join hosts, Eryn Eddy Adkins and Vivian Mabuni as they talk with Anh about seeing the possibilities for our healing during this God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes: 

• “You don’t have to go big to feel the impact of a changed environment.” —Anh Lee

• “Surround ourselves with people that are for us, that support us, that are trauma-informed, walk through it with us, and most importantly show us that there is a reality outside of what we think is possible for us.” —Anh Lee

• “Find community—it’s more healing than you think.” —Anh Lee

• “It was as if God was saying, ‘You can leave this memory because I’m staying here with her. I’m going to save her one day.’” —Anh Lee

• “There’s no shame being where [you] are at mentally, and God can handle [your] timing, [your] pacing because He’s a very patient God. He’s a gentle Father.” —Anh Lee 

• “For the woman who is feeling so isolated, so misunderstood, know that God is going to continue being active in your life, loving you in ways you might not see now, but will eventually see His fingerprints on all the times you’ve been hurting.”  —Anh Lee

What is something you’re waiting for? A career? A significant other? A good friend? In every season of life, we feel like we’re waiting for something. On this episode of God Hears Her, Eryn Eddy and Elisa Morgan talk to Dr. Heather Thompson Day about what we can do while we’re waiting.

Notes and Quotes: 

• “I think we’ve lost the beauty of resting in our purpose.”
• “We are the answer to other people’s prayers.”
• “I think we miss out because we’re waiting for some big sign and sometimes, I think almost all the time, it’s these little stirrings from the Holy Spirit saying, ‘Go talk to them. Go sit down. Go see how you can be helpful.’”
• “I think I thought faith was something I built, but it’s really something God gives us, because our faith is actually us acknowledging the answers to the prayers and the experiences that He gives us. So I say all the time, ‘God, build my faith.’”
• “When you feel like you have nothing, that’s actually the perfect place to start.”
• “God says that the way to the kingdom of heaven is to realize that this relationship was never about what you will give Him. It has always been about what He will give you.”

Sometimes women are treated as second-class citizens within the church. If they aren’t encouraged to study Scripture, teach about it, or go to seminary, they often feel overlooked in comparison to the men. On this episode of God Hears Her, Dr. Amanda Benckhysen shares about her journey from feeling like an overlooked woman to becoming a woman who learned she was seen and valued by a God who loves us all.

About Our Guest:

She currently serves as the director of Safe Church Ministry for the Christian Reformed Church in North America after having taught the Old Testament while mentoring seminary students for more than 15 years.

Notes and Quotes:

• “All of who I was and what I had to bring to the table was pleasing and acceptable to God.”
• “I thought going to seminary would help me represent the gospel well, it will help me represent Jesus well.”
• “I wanted to share with those that didn’t know Jesus that Jesus loves them.”
• “It expanded my understanding of texts to read what others thought.”
• “It set her on a trajectory of recovering women’s voices in history in terms of how they interpreted Scripture.”
• “Women did not have access to education. So by and large, we don’t tend to think of women when we think of interpretation of Scripture.”
• Women interpreters mentioned: Anna Maria Venturemen and Christine de Pizan
• “They [women] are reading the texts differently because they are reading it through their lived experiences.”
• “There is a complete devaluation of their [women] personhood.”

Do you feel a disconnect between your faith and your everyday life? Does it sometimes feel like there is no purpose in the mundane things we do over and over again like folding clothes or washing dishes? On this episode of God Hears Her, Daniel Ryan Day shares how to connect our faith with our everyday real life, including the mundane activities we may sometimes feel are purposeless. 

About Our Guest:

Daniel Ryan Day is the author of What’s Next: Your Dream Job, God’s Call, and a Life That Sets You Free. He’s also a content producer and writer for Reclaim Today, a cohost for Our Daily Bread Ministries’ Discover the Word podcast, and a producer for the Where Ya From? and God Hears Her podcasts. Daniel holds a master’s degree from Fuller Theological Seminary, and is an ordained minister in the Anglican Church in North America. He is married to his high school sweetheart and has three kiddos.

Notes and Quotes: 

• “My story can be boiled down to growing up in a very tight Christian bubble but then having experiences that made me realize that a tight Christian bubble was not relating to the world in a way that made sense for the world that we live in.”
• “This faith in Jesus, if it’s real, has gotta impact how we interact with orphans, it’s got to make a difference in these bigger issues.”
• “How does this faith impact real life?”
• “So many things I learned in that experience [of giving up things], so hence the ten days without speech to represent those who don’t have a voice, or who have a voice but that it’s not listened to. Ten days without legs for those affected by disabilities that live in our world and who are often overlooked. Ten days without furniture for those who live in homeless settings and don’t have a home or don’t have furniture.”
• “I was still struggling with those questions of how does faith work in real life? Where do they meet? And specifically, as it relates to my calling and my job in the world.”
• “The use of the word ‘calling’ in the Scriptures, most often refers to callings like seeking justice, love mercy, walking humbly with God. So humility or giving thanks in all circumstances.”
• “The decade of the 20s and 30s are the real transformational decades for us really being shaped from how we grew up, what we thought we were going to be, who we thought we were going to be, into discovering the reality of us.”
• [On the topic of a Rwandan Pastor who walked the hills of his village to meet with people] “He’s just visiting with people. So meeting needs, his sermons, all of that comes from real relationships with people.”
• “It’s with people that real ministry happens.”
• “In the biblical story we get a picture of being colaborers with God. We’re not His servants, we’re not His slaves, we’re in relationship with Him. Invited into everything that we do being a part of this relationship with Him. And so, I think first and foremost above anything else, that is our purpose, that’s our identity, that’s our calling.”
• “God is at work. And God is going to accomplish His work, regardless of what role we play in it. So for us, where it actually begins is in quiet solitude time.”
• “Even in those mundane moments we can realize that God has us where He wants us to be.”
• Prayer for Today: “Creator God, who took what was formless and void and gave it shape and meaning, the One who filled emptiness with beauty and gave all creatures their purpose [including us]. Reclaim today in these small, seemingly insignificant moments. Help me discover meaning in the mundane. Ordain the very ordinariness of these tasks or my current lack of them for your glory, the good of the world, and my good. Amen.”

At Christmastime, we bring out the nativity sets to decorate our homes and we talk about Jesus as a baby . . . but do we really grasp the idea of what that looked like in that time and culture? Not to mention the fact that God humbled Himself to become human. On this episode of God Hears Her, Elisa and Eryn talk about the story of Jesus, focusing on the reality of His conception, birth, and being a baby. They also focus on what it meant for His mother Mary and how this birth changed everything then, just like it does today. Join us.

Notes and Quotes:

• “The God of the universe scrunched Himself into the womb of a woman and began to grow.”
• “He’s my protector. He’s my guide, my guardian . . . and so for me to imagine Him in a fragile state is just kind of a weird concept in my mind.”
• The purpose of women during the New Testament period was to have babies.
• “30–35% of newborns didn’t survive their first month [in New Testament times].” 
• “Why are we so uncomfortable imagining God to be weak, or being fragile as a child?”
• “We are so black and white that we only see God as a baby, or as the resurrected Christ.”
• “Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Luke 18:17 NIV
• “We have the tendency to be so self-aware, but not Christ-aware.”
• “His expression of vulnerability begins in the womb and at birth and as baby Jesus. And then we watch His public ministry when truly He is God and He could speak a word and blow fire over all of the naysayers. But He instead humbles Himself to death on a cross.”

Scripture: 

John 1:14

Matthew 1:23

Luke 1:39-45

Philippians 2:5

We often talk about the topic of joy with an emphasis that we “choose joy” or “find joy.” But what does that actually mean? Are those phrases true? Or do phrases like “choose joy” put pressure on people to somehow become happy in the midst of rather unjoyful circumstances? On this episode of God Hears Her, Elisa and Eryn talk with Mary Jo Clark about what life looks like when “choosing joy” feels impossible.

About Our Guest:

After years of working in bakeries, coffee shops, and food trucks, Mary Jo Clark returned to her love of audio production and sharing stories. She is now a podcast producer and engineer for Our Daily Bread Ministries. Outside of her passion for creating podcasts to encourage women, she is a talented baker. Her cookies and cupcakes are described by many as “legendary.” She and her husband, Russ, are expecting their first child.

Notes and Quotes:

• “As someone that struggles with depression and anxiety, I am not someone who is an innately happy person.”
• “What if I struggle with depression . . . am I supposed to suppress those feelings down and pretend I am happy?”
• “It wasn’t a pity party. You were grieving very real things.”
• “I couldn’t find a way out of it until I was broken enough to find the point of being done. It’s time to be okay.”
• “Our job or status are not our identity.”
• “I can’t feel it [joy] because it’s down in my heart and I’ve buried it because I’m not content and I’m not focusing on the gifts I know God has given me, but I know it’s there.”
• “I was discovering this feeling of joy while I was crying.”
• “Through every single one of those trials, God grew me and He developed the joy that was growing already.”

How often do you feel stressed? Frustrated? Overwhelmed? Do you feel those ways more often than you feel at peace? This world is filled with events and people that can make us feel far from peaceful.

• “Friendships are giving relationships also.”

• “It’s easier in the hard times than the good times. In the hard times you’ve got nothing.”
• Soul30: Practice finding moments of peace every day for 30 days.

• “You can actually change the pathways in your brain so that peace is where you are going instead of anxiety.”
