| 181 | Thinking Biblically About Reading Habits | 15 oct. 2026 | 00:36:41 | |
Should Christians read spicy books? How do we choose books that honor God? And how do we actually find time to read when life is busy?
Whether you are an avid reader, trying to get back into reading, or wondering how to approach popular fiction as a Christian, this conversation will encourage you to think more intentionally about the books on your shelf.

| 180 | Thinking Biblically about AI in Bible Study | 01 oct. 2026 | 00:38:37 | |
This week in our Thinking Biblically series, we're talking about another hot topic: the use of AI in Bible study. Whenever there is new technology, especially at this scale and influence, we as Christians are called to be discerning. But how do we determine what to use it for—or not use it for—when it seems Christians at large differ so widely in if, or how, they use it?

| 179 | Thinking Biblically About "Finding Your Village" | 24 sept. 2026 | 01:12:47 | |
What is a "village," and how do we cultivate one in our own lives? In this episode, we'll take a look at the traits of a village, reflect on the loneliness epidemic in America, and how the Bible gives us guidance on overcoming that epidemic by providing real instructions for cultivating community. We'll also consider how we often view friendships in a scarcity mindset, but how we can build healthier ones with an abundance mindset.
If you've struggled with friendships or feeling like you don't know how to build community, this episode is for you! | |||
| 178 | Thinking Biblically About Devotionals | 17 sept. 2026 | 00:34:46 | |
In this episode, Phylicia talks about the practice of using devotional books in the Christian walk. Are they a recent addition to Christian life, or have they been in use longer than we think? She then discusses the criteria she uses to discern whether a devotional book is helpful for her spiritual growth, and completes the episode by sharing a few of her favorites. | |||
| 177 | Thinking Biblically About Denominations | 10 sept. 2026 | 01:06:00 | |
In this episode, we look at the 8,000+ Christian denominations and ask whether all that division is evidence of a broken church — or branches growing off one vine. We'll walk through where the major denominations came from, why gathering with a local body isn't optional for a Christian, and how to actually choose a church without waiting for a perfect one. | |||
| 176 | Thinking Biblically About the Trad Wife Debate | 03 sept. 2026 | 01:03:47 | |
In this episode, we look at the Bible to answer the question both “trad wives” and feminists are attempting to answer: what is the purpose of a woman? We’ll see how both ends of the spectrum turn into fundamentalism, and how Scripture points us to a better and more practical understanding. | |||
| Thrift With Me! How Phylicia finds Theology books on a Budget (audio only) | 18 juin 2026 | 00:11:58 | |
For the best experience, visit our YouTube Channel! For those who followed me when I was on social media regularly, you know that I love a good thrift store! There is a special kind of joy in thrifting that can't be replicated online. You walk into the store not knowing what you'll find, and every shelf holds possibility. There's something especially satisfying about finding a beautiful theology book on a shelf for just a few dollars. Over the years, thrifting has become one of my favorite ways to build a library. Not only is it more affordable, but it feels like the true reflection of what I'm finding in a book about God: treasure. | |||
| 174 | Answered Prayer: Testimonies to Strengthen Your Faith | 07 mai 2026 | 00:42:49 | |
We've spent three months talking about prayer, and this final episode is where all of it comes to life. A few months ago, Jesse, our social media coordinator at Every Woman a Theologian, reached out to our community and asked them to share how God has been moving in their prayer lives. What came back left me emotional. Story after story of a personal, specific, loving God who hears and answers prayer. Sometimes with a yes, sometimes with a no, and sometimes in ways that are even more beautiful than what was asked for. You'll hear testimonies of answered prayers through miscarriage and grief, infertility and miraculous pregnancies, job searches, family conflict, postpartum anxiety, healing, and so much more. I want to be honest with you—not all of these are happy endings. Some of the most powerful testimonies in this episode come from women holding the tension between grief and gratitude. But all of them point to a God who sees, who cares, and who answers specifically. If your faith has been feeling thin or your prayers feel like they're hitting the ceiling, I hope these stories remind you that our God is not distant. He is near, and He is listening.

| 173 | Women, Anxiety & Prayer with Dr. Rachel Rauch | 30 avr. 2026 | 00:32:47 | |
Dr. Rachel Rauch and Phylicia Masonheimer will talk about the relationship between anxiety and prayer: how to navigate the tension of physical and spiritual causes for anxiety, and how women can find peace with God. Rachel Rauch, board certified as a traditional Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of Eiro Wellness, is a Christ-follower who recognizes that restoring health involves more than addressing the physical body. True healing also requires support for emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being. She specializes in brain and mood health, understanding that fatigue, digestive concerns, and hormone imbalances often coexist with anxiety and depression.

| 172 | Praying Through Chronic Illness & Suffering with Olivia Gerber | 23 avr. 2026 | 00:35:16 | |
Olivia Gerber is a sunset-chasing, Jesus-loving adventurer based in Northern Indiana. She finds pleasure in perfectly ripe avocados, plane tickets, and lavender lattes, but her deepest joy is found at the feet of her Savior and she longs to spread His hope in the world. Her health challenges have given her a tender heart toward those facing chronic pain, and she loves bringing hope to this under-served community through her book, Hold Hope. She recently married the curly love of her life and is loving her new adventure with Jack! In this conversation, Olivia shares how suffering stripped away her sense of control and turned her faith inside out—and how praise, specific prayer, and keeping a record of God's faithfulness carried her through the hardest years. If you're in a season where the answer feels like "no" or "not yet," I hope this encourages you to keep praying anyway. You can find Olivia at letterstoholdhope.com and on Instagram @letterstoholdhope. Her book "Hold Hope" is available through the Every Woman a Theologian shop. **Buy Hold Hope:** **Shop Prayer Resources** **Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series:** **Subscribe to Verity Podcast:** Verity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.

| 171 | Praying God's Word for All of Life's Seasons with Jodie Berndt | 16 avr. 2026 | 00:38:31 | |
I'm thrilled to introduce you to my friend Jodie Berndt as we wrap up the prayer series with three special interviews. I've known Jodie for eight years, and her books have been such a blessing in my life—especially "Praying the Scriptures for Your Children," which I've read three times. Jodie has written over a dozen books on praying scripture for your children, teens, adult children, marriage, and life, so whether you're a parent or not, there's something here for you. In this conversation, Jodie shares her personal testimony of why she came to praying scripture and how it's impacted her walk with God. We talk about why prayer matters, how to turn passages into conversations with God, and practical ways to get started if this practice is new to you. Jodie's wisdom comes from 40 years of marriage, raising four children, and teaching Bible study in her local church—and her heart for family and scripture shines through everything she does. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by what to pray for or struggled to find the words, this episode will equip you with a biblical framework for praying with confidence. You can find Jodie's books wherever you buy books, and she offers free prayer calendars and resources at jodieberndt.com.

| Resurrection Day! | Holy Week Day 8 | 05 avr. 2026 | 00:09:32 | |
He is risen. | |||
| Holy Saturday | Holy Week Day 7 | 04 avr. 2026 | 00:05:09 | |
Holy Saturday is the quiet day — the day between the cross and the empty tomb. In this episode, I walk through what we know about this often-overlooked day, including the intriguing phrase from the Apostles' Creed about Jesus descending to the grave. The theme for today: prepare your heart, because Sunday is coming. | |||
| Good Friday | Holy Week Day 6 | 03 avr. 2026 | 00:08:12 | |
Good Friday is the most sobering day of Holy Week — and the most important. In this episode, I walk through the crucifixion, the tearing of the temple veil, and what it all means for us today. Jesus didn't save himself because he was saving you. | |||
| Maundy Thursday | Holy Week Day 5 | 02 avr. 2026 | 00:08:07 | |
Most people have heard of the Last Supper — but do you know why it's called Maundy Thursday? In this episode, I walk through the foot washing, the new commandment Jesus gave his disciples, and how the Last Supper fulfilled the Passover. The theme for today: watch and pray.

| Spy Wednesday | Holy Week Day 4 | 02 avr. 2026 | 00:08:52 | |
Most people have never heard of Spy Wednesday — but it's one of the most sobering days of Holy Week. This is the day Judas began plotting to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. In this episode, I walk through what happened, how it fulfilled prophecy written hundreds of years earlier, and why even the darkest betrayal couldn't stop God's redemption. Download the free Holy Week devotional Follow along daily through Easter! | |||
| Holy Tuesday | Holy Week Day 3 | 31 mars 2026 | 00:06:17 | |
On Holy Tuesday, Jesus went face to face with the religious leaders — and what happened next has been called "the great unmasking." In this episode, I walk through Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees, what it reveals about hypocrisy, and why Holy Tuesday is the perfect day to ask: am I genuinely following Jesus, or just going through the motions? | |||
| Holy Monday | Holy Week Day 2 | 30 mars 2026 | 00:09:34 | |
Most of us know Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter — but what about the days in between? Holy Monday is the day Jesus cleansed the temple, and it carries a theme I think we all need: cleanse your heart. In this episode, I walk through what happened, why it matters, and what it looks like to let Jesus do that same work in us today. | |||
| Palm Sunday | Holy Week Day 1 | 29 mars 2026 | 00:08:03 | |
Palm Sunday is one of my favorite days in the Christian calendar — and it marks the beginning of something bigger than the crowds even realized. In this first episode of our Holy Week series, I walk through the triumphal entry of Jesus, the history of Palm Sunday in the church, and why the crowd's cry of "Hosanna" carried more weight than they knew. | |||
| Holy Week Mini-series Announcement! | 26 mars 2026 | 00:01:54 | |
Holy Week is coming — and Verity Podcast doing a mini-series in honor of it! From Palm Sunday to Easter, we're releasing seven mini episodes to walk you through every day of Holy Week. Each one pairs with our free Holy Week devotional, available at phyliciamasonheimer.com under Free Resources.

| 169 | What Is Praying in Tongues—and Is It for Christians Today? | 19 mars 2026 | 00:37:18 | |
Growing up in a Pentecostal church, I have witnessed people speaking in tongues many times. But what is praying in tongues, and is it for Christians today? If you've ever wondered what the Bible actually teaches about this spiritual gift, whether the ability to speak in tongues is proof of salvation, or why some churches emphasize it and others don't, this episode is for you.

| 168 | Liturgical Prayers: Are Written Prayers Biblical or Just Empty Tradition? | 12 mars 2026 | 00:40:15 | |
Are written prayers biblical or just empty tradition? If you've ever felt like praying someone else's words isn't "sincere" or questioned whether liturgical prayers belong in the Christian life, this episode will challenge your assumptions and open up a rich tradition of faith. Did Jesus forbid scripted prayers in Matthew 6:6–7? Many Christians assume prayer must always be spontaneous. But throughout both Jewish and early Christian worship, written prayers were a normal part of community life. | |||
| 167 | Why Do I Feel Bored in Prayer? | 05 mars 2026 | 00:39:13 | |
Why does prayer feel boring sometimes? If you've ever struggled to stay focused during prayer, felt distracted, or wondered why some Christians seem so enriched by prayer while you feel disconnected, this episode will bring clarity and hope. Phylicia explores four key reasons why prayer can feel boring—and what to do about it: spiritual warfare (the enemy doesn't want you praying), overstimulation (we're unused to silence and stillness), request-based vs. relationship-based prayer, and duty-based habits that lack intimacy. Scripture shows us that showing up consistently creates the intimacy we're looking for—discipline leads to joy, and action precedes feeling. | |||
| 166 | Does God hear Everyone's Prayers? | 26 févr. 2026 | 00:40:10 | |
Does God hear everyone’s prayers? In this episode, we explore what Scripture really teaches about righteousness, salvation, and effective prayer, unpacking what it means to be “righteous” not by works, but by faith in Christ (Philippians 3:9). Phylicia addresses hard questions like: Does God hear unrighteous or prideful prayers? What about the prayers of unbelievers? And do more prayers really equal more power? If you’ve ever wondered whether God hears your prayers, how humility matters, or how faith and fervency work together, this biblical teaching will bring clarity, encouragement, and gospel-centered hope. | |||
| 165 | Can Satan Hear My Prayers? | 19 févr. 2026 | 00:26:00 | |
Can Satan hear your prayers? Can he block or manipulate what you ask God to do? In this episode, we answer one of the most searched questions about spiritual warfare and prayer: Is Satan omniscient—and does he have power over your prayer life? If you’ve ever felt anxiety about praying out loud or wondered whether the enemy can sidetrack your prayers, this biblical teaching will bring clarity and confidence. Scripture makes clear that only God is all-knowing (1 John 3: 20; Proverbs 15: 3; Isaiah 40: 13–14). Satan is powerful—but limited—and his defeat is certain (Revelation 20: 10; Matthew 25: 41). We explore Ephesians 6 and 2 Corinthians 10 to understand why prayer is spiritual warfare—and how spoken prayer partners you with Christ rather than empowering the enemy. In this episode: – Can Satan hear my prayers? – Can the enemy block or delay God’s answers? – How does spiritual warfare actually work? – Should Christians fear praying out loud? If you want to pray with confidence instead of fear, this episode will help you rest in God’s sovereignty. 📚 Shop Prayer Resources ⦿ Every Woman a Theologian Shop ✨Spring Shop launches March 12 with new prayer-focused resources and more. 🎧 Watch the full Verity Podcast Prayer Series Subscribe to Verity Podcast Verity Podcast is an Every Woman a Theologian company.

| 164 | When God Doesn't Answer | 12 févr. 2026 | 00:49:15 | |
Why do some of our prayers seem to go unanswered—temporarily, long-term, or forever? How do we keep praying when answers are delayed or don't look the way we hoped? In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: understanding God's responses to prayer when they don't match our expectations. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What does "ask anything and it will be yours" really mean? (Mark 11:24, John 15:7) ✓ The difference between prosperity gospel and biblical prayer ✓ Why faith isn't about "believing hard enough" ✓ Four reasons God delays or denies prayer requests ✓ How to trust God's character when prayers aren't answered ✓ The supernatural work happening behind our prayers ✓ Praying with persistence through long seasons of waiting If you've ever felt discouraged by unanswered prayer, this episode will help you pray with faith and hope—even in the waiting. | |||
| 163 | Praying God's Will | 05 févr. 2026 | 00:40:43 | |
How do you pray God's will—without trying to control the outcome? In this episode, we break down what Scripture actually teaches about the will of God and how to pray in alignment with His truth and character. Learn the difference between bold, biblical prayer and self-centered or "manifesting" language, and discover how God's will is revealed through His Word—not guesswork. If you're a woman seeking clarity, confidence, and depth in your prayer life, this teaching will help you pray with boldness, humility, and trust. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What is the will of God? (Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Micah 6:8) ✓ How to discern God's will through a renewed mind ✓ The difference between praying boldly and praying selfishly ✓ Why God doesn't always give us a "blueprint" for decisions ✓ How to pray freely without fear of getting it "wrong" ✓ Biblical prayer vs. manifestation theology 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED: - Every Woman A Theologian website: phyliciamasonheimer.com - Verse-by-verse Bible studies: Amos & Micah, 1-3 John, Galatians, Revelation, Leviticus - Books: Every Woman a Theologian, Every Home a Foundation, Stop Calling Me Beautiful - Multi-sensory Bible Studies & Kids' Resources 📧 QUESTIONS?

| 162 | Do We Need Deliverance Prayer? | 29 janv. 2026 | 01:00:55 | |
Is deliverance prayer biblical? What makes it healthy versus unhealthy? In this episode, we explore what Scripture says about spiritual warfare, freedom from sin, and deliverance ministry. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What is deliverance prayer? ✓ Biblical foundations for spiritual warfare ✓ The difference between healthy and unhealthy deliverance practices ✓ Warning signs of manipulative deliverance ministry ✓ How Christ secures our deliverance and freedom Whether you're charismatic, cessationist, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you understand how to pursue freedom from sin in a biblically grounded way. --- PRAYER SERIES EPISODES: - Episode 0: We're Back!

| 161 | Can the Saints Pray for Us? | 23 janv. 2026 | 00:37:39 | |
Can we ask saints in heaven to pray for us? This is one of the most requested questions about prayer, and today we're exploring both Catholic and Protestant perspectives with respect and biblical depth. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What does "saint" really mean? ✓ Revelation 5 & 8: Do the saints intercede? ✓ The Catholic perspective on intercession of the saints ✓ The Protestant response and biblical concerns ✓ Why this conversation matters for unity Whether you're Catholic, Protestant, or just curious about different Christian perspectives on prayer, this episode will help you understand how believers arrive at their conclusions—even when we disagree. --- PRAYER SERIES EPISODES: - Episode 0: We're Back!

| 160 | Why God Doesn't Need Your Hustle: Learning to Rest in Him | 11 oct. 2025 | 00:35:53 | |
What if God can do more without your hustle than with it? Lisa Fields of the Jude 3 Project shares her journey from workaholic apologist to discovering that God doesn't need our striving—He wants our trust, our healed hearts, and our willingness to rest in His sufficiency. 💡 Key Scripture: "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders' labor is in vain... He grants sleep to those he loves." - Psalm 127:1-2 The Big Truth: God doesn't need your hustle. Rest isn't avoidance or vacation—it's a posture of complete trust in God. When we truly rest in Him, He does what our striving never could, without the soul-damaging side effects. 📖 Resources Mentioned: Book: "When Faith Disappoints: The Gap Between What We Believe and What We Experience" by Lisa Fields "Ruthless Elimination of Hurry" by John Mark Comer "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day-to-Day Devotional" Centering Prayer app 🔗 Connect: -Jude 3 Project: https://jude3project.org/ -Verity Conference 2025: https://verityconference.com -EWAT: https://phyliciamasonheimer.com/ 💭 Reflection Questions: Are you so busy doing God's work that you're not meeting with God? What "dead grass" has been buried in your heart while you kept moving? Do you like being the hero? What does that feed in your insecurity? Can you sleep in peace, or is it just avoidance? What would it look like to trust God enough to rest? ⏰ Practical Steps to Rest: Daily Silence: Start with centering prayer (work up to 30 min/day) Weekly Sabbath: Take one full day off - it's commanded, not optional Community: Let your friends be your friends (get off the pedestal) Healing: Let God show you your heart and do the work of healing | |||

This incredible testimony from Verity Conference 2024 will transform how you think about everyday evangelism. Leila shares her powerful story from Muslim family to Christian ministry, and reveals the four practical ways we can all carry God's Kingdom into our daily lives.

| 158 | Speak Your Story: How Your Testimony Changes the World | 20 sept. 2025 | 00:43:28 | |
This powerful conference session connects directly to our previous episode about our 5-month podcast break. While the last episode shared the "happy ending" of our infertility journey with baby Olivera's birth, this session was recorded in the middle of that same story - during failed fertility treatments with no promise of resolution. In This Session:
