  • #134: Summer Series: The Women Who Funded the Mission
    Jun 27 2025

    In this episode of our Belonged All Along summer series, we’re diving into the stories of Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna, three women who may not have been front and center in Jesus’ ministry, but without them, the mission wouldn’t have moved forward the way it did.

    These women didn’t preach sermons. They didn’t lead crowds.
    But they gave what they had and Scripture makes sure we remember their names.

    This conversation explores:

    • Who these women really were (and why their backgrounds matter)
    • How they supported Jesus through financial generosity
    • Why your behind-the-scenes faithfulness is just as valuable as visible leadership
    • What it looks like to steward your resources, position, or presence for Kingdom impact

    If you’ve ever questioned whether your quiet obedience matters, or if you’re doing “enough” in your walk with God, this episode will encourage you in all the right ways.

    📖 Scriptures Referenced:

    • Luke 8:1–3 – The women who supported Jesus out of their means
    • Luke 24:10 – Joanna’s role in witnessing the resurrection

  • #133: Summer Series: When Influence Becomes Ministry (Lydia’s Story)
    Jun 20 2025

    Welcome to the kickoff of our summer series, Belonged All Along: Stories of Women Who Became Unexpected Vessels of Purpose. In this first episode, we’re stepping into the story of Lydia, a woman of influence, leadership, and hospitality who used what she already had to make room for God’s mission.

    Though her story is short, Lydia’s obedience helped launch the early church in Philippi. She didn’t preach from a pulpit or hold a religious title, but she opened her heart, her home, and her hands—and through her yes, a movement was born.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether your gifts, your leadership, or your presence really matter in the Kingdom… this episode is for you.


    📖 Scriptures Referenced

    • Acts 16:11–15 — Lydia hears the Gospel and responds with bold hospitality
    • Acts 16:40 — Her home becomes a meeting place for believers
