Adrienne Camp found that the Psalms set an example for talking to God during every moment of our lives. Join host Vivian Mabuni as she explores life through the Psalms with Adrienne Camp during this God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes:

“No matter what is going on around me, I am going to set my heart to seek the Lord.” —Adrienne Camp

“In our culture, there are so many opinions and so many polarizing things, but I think the heart of it is that we can’t lose sight of who Jesus is and who He has called us to be as a church.” —Adrienne Camp

“I think God wants us to cry out to Him. He wants us to feel the brokenness because it allows us to long for the real thing, and that’s Him.” —Adrienne Camp

“If you think about it, a lament is actually a cry of faith because it’s a call of asking God to show His character strong. In a sense, it’s a declaration of faith that says, “I know who you are. I know what You can provide for me so provide it for me! Why are you delaying?” It’s a declaration of faith for God and His character.” —Adrienne Camp

“When we honestly and genuinely engage God with what we’re really feeling, God meets us. And it doesn’t necessarily mean that our circumstances change, but the Spirit carries us and God meets us in those places.” —Adrienne Camp

Verses:

Colossians

Psalms

Joshua 24:15

Guest Bio: As an atheist transformed by the Word of God, Mariel Davenport knows the power of seeking God through Scripture. She is passionate about equipping ladies of all ages to tend their souls with the Word through her TEND method. As a trained Bible teacher with Precepts Ministries and Community Bible Study and a mentor for Florish Writers and Hope Writers, Mariel currently has a Bible study contract with Our Daily Bread Publishers. Married for over 25 years to her college sweetheart, and a retired homeschool mom of two grown sons, Mariel enjoys salsa from her garden as she pursues the Gardener who tends her soul.

Show Summary: What has been your experience in your personal Bible study time? Do you often follow a study or just open your Bible? Soon after she gave her life to Christ, Mariel Davenport found herself focusing on Bible studies more than the actual Word of God. As she turned her attention back to Scripture and spent time in her salsa garden, she developed a method of Bible study called the TEND method, based on her gardening habits. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Vivian Mabuni as they learn Mariel’s testimony and the TEND method during this insightful God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes:

“I was tending to my salsa garden that summer, and I really felt like the Lord was reminding me that is how He tends to me. It's just little by little by little. It can just be slow and methodical and intentional.” —Mariel Davenport

“If we can lean in and look at just a few verses at a time and ask ‘what is this teaching about God?’ it is amazing how He [the Holy Spirit] will illuminate that to us.” —Mariel Davenport

“We serve a triune God. He Himself is community, and He created us for community.” —Mariel Davenport

“God is pursuing the heart of every single one of us if we would just come to Him. Even in my skepticism, anger, and pride, God was still willing to reveal Himself to me when I got into His Word. He saw my need and met me right there.” —Mariel Davenport

“I really think that the more we say 'I don’t know what I’m doing,’ the more He’ll say, ‘That’s exactly where you need to be.’ Because it is in our weakness that His power is made perfect.” —Mariel Davenport

“Our need of Jesus is really the whole point.” —Mariel Davenport

“Be careful that you don’t believe the lies that you can’t understand Scripture. No matter who you are, if the Holy Spirit lives in you then you can, by the power and grace of God, understand His Word. Don’t let culture and the distractions tell you otherwise, because God is faithful to His Word and He will accomplish what He set out to do with it.” —Mariel Davenport

Verses:

Ephesians 4

Mark 13 – Jesus talking about His second coming; being on guard and awake.

Deuteronomy 29:29

Show Summary: What do you think of when you hear someone talking about their calling or their purpose? We tend to think of calling as our specific job or the talents the Lord has blessed us with, but hosts Elisa Morgan, Eryn Eddy Adkins, and Vivian Mabuni challenge this thinking by diving into Scripture. What if the Lord has an everyday calling and purpose for each of us? Explore what this means from Mark 1:16-20 during this God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes:

“Every call has two steps. There’s a call to something and there’s a call from something. First, we’re called to God and to a relationship.” —Elisa Morgan

“He came to me with a question, and it was ‘are you tired?’ And I was very tired. He knew I needed to be asked a question, not told what to do. He knew that He needed to show curiosity to me for me to open up.” —Eryn Eddy Adkins

“The only reason I think they [the disciples] could have ever responded to a role was because they were called to a relationship. It is the overwhelming presence and power of presence that called them.” —Elisa Morgan

"When you’re all in, then there’s this relationship, this intimacy with God that can’t be manufactured or bought or mustered up.” —Vivian Mabuni

“The core pieces of ‘a call’ is a call to a relationship with an undeniably powerful God who wants what is good for us and a call for a role where He uniquely places us in opportunities, vocations where we can use our gifts for His good. And then to accomplish those things, we need to leave some things behind. There’s a call from certain things.” —Elisa Morgan

Verses:

Matthew 11:28 (the message version)

Mark 1:16-20

Guest Bio: Jess Connolly is a woman who wants to leave her generation more in awe of God than she found it. She is passionate about family, God's Word, and seeing women take their place in the Kingdom. She's an author, a church leader, and a coach. Her books include You Are the Girl for the Job, Breaking Free from Body Shame, and her newest release, Tired of Being Tired. Jess is the founder of Go + Tell Gals and helped start She Reads Truth. She and her husband, Nick, planted Bright City Church in Charleston, South Carolina, where they live with their four children.

Show Summary: It can be easy to struggle with body image, feeling like we’re not enough, or feeling exhausted by our day-to-day life. Jess Connolly wants to recharge you and share how to shake off the shame! Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn how to break free from shame during this God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes:

“I had this really strong understanding early on that the Gospel is the best thing about me. That people that had tidier lives still needed God, that the messy parts of my life did not disqualify me from His love, from ministry, from calling, from any of those things.” —Jess Connolly

“I’m thankful for the victory and the vision that pain afforded me.” —Jess Connolly

“If John says, ‘if the Son has set you free, you are free indeed,’ how much of that do I get to experience here on earth? How much of that do I get to experience as it pertains to my body?” —Jess Connolly

“If You created our bodies as good, do we spend the rest of our lives trying to make them good, or can we spend the rest of our lives agreeing that they’re good? If so, what would that look like? What would it look like to stop trying to make my body good and instead just come into alignment with the truth that it already is? That’s what breaking body shame is about for me.” —Jess Connolly

“For many of us, we don’t know where we end and where He begins. We don’t know what we’re responsible for and what He’s responsible for. We’ve somehow bought this lie that we graduate from needing Him—but I don’t want to get over that. I still want to be a girl that acknowledges that I need God.” —Jess Connolly

Verses:

2 Corinthians 12:9

John 20:11-18 – Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene

Luke 8:2 – Jesus healing Mary Magdalene
