Rare but Real – Details, episodes & analysis

This week and next on the podcast, we turn a corner from looking at what God says about our bodies to what He says about our clothes.

This week on the podcast, I am joined by my daughter-in-law, Chesed, as we continue the conversation about our bodies. She shares her journey and how God continues to develop her walk with Him in this area of her life.

This week on the podcast, my daughter, GraceAnna Castleberry, teaches on the high calling for women to give life. She examines this characteristic in the lives of Eve, Miriam, and Mary, the mother of Jesus. 

I know you will be encouraged!

Read-aloud books, thought life, change, and one-on-one time with children. In this episode, GraceAnna joined me to answer questions from women.

It’s easy for women to come up with a list of things they don’t like about their husbands; but my encouragement is come up with a list of things you love, appreciate, and admire about your husband. And then encourage him! Chesed joined me for a conversation on this very topic.

When we were children, we acted like children. Now that we’re grown women, are we acting like grown women? As believers, are we growing up in the Lord? Let’s ask some questions:

Are you still as immature today as you were when you were 12? Are you still as spiritually immature today as when you first became a Christian? Do the same things provoke you today that provoked you 10 years ago? Do you still gossip? Do you still hold grudges? Do you love others even when you think they are simply unloveable?

God wants us to grow up in Him. He helps us grow because He fully knows us. And one day, we will fully know Him. The more we get to know Him, the more we love others His way.

The way you love others won’t be perfect in this life – it will have flaws – but if you love God, you will grow, and you will love people no matter what.

I hope this last episode on biblical love will encourage and motivate you to love others the way He loves you.

“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.“ 1 Peter 4:8. What does this mean? How do we cover sin? And what does it mean to rejoice with the truth and how do we practically believe the best about others? I hope you will be encouraged as you listen to the third part of Biblical Love.

In this week’s episode, we continue exploring God’s love. His biblical love. We’ll see more how real love behaves - how it’s not rude, it has a big heart, it’s not bitter, and it certainly doesn’t keep a record of wrongs. So much to learn this week.

“Charity suffereth long, and is kind;” 1 Corinthians 13:4a KJV

I love this. Biblical love is patient … it is long suffering. Oh how we need supernatural love for those around us. Even though we have a God-given natural love for others, we need God’s grace to adequately express it. Our love runs raw. It grows thin in the stresses of life. It gets tired. Our love does not suffer long by itself.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY ONE WHO loves perfectly. That’s why we need Him.

Today’s podcast begins a series on how to love God’s way. Biblical Love. I trust it will encourage you.

Proverbs 14:1 says “The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish tears it down with her own hands.”

What does a wise woman look like? What are some of the choices she makes as she sets out to build her home?

She won’t make the choices of the world. She will obey God.
