God Hears Her Podcast

How do we handle saying goodbye to certain friendships or communities? The God Hears Her podcast started at Our Daily Bread Ministries in 2020 with a passion to remind women that they are seen, heard, and loved by our God. Celebrate the incredible ways that God has been faithful throughout these six years as the God Hears Her podcast comes to a wrap. Join hosts Elisa Morgan, Eryn Eddy Adkins, and Vivian Mabuni for a special behind-the-scenes look at the podcast with producers Jade Gustman and Mary Jo Clark. Together, they’ll go on a journey of saying goodbye and talking about the beauty and importance of the community that’s been created along the way. You’re invited for this special finale of the God Hears Her podcast.

How often does worry pop up in your life? It’s normal for worry to show up in the stressful moments of our lives, yet for a lot of people, anxiety feels like a constant wave just under the surface of every moment of every day. No matter what your experience with anxiety is like, the Bible shows us examples of how to work through overcoming our anxious moments. Join Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they dive into God’s Word to emphasize yielding control, praying with thanksgiving, and learning contentment through Christ’s strength during life’s stressful moments in this special God Hears Her Bible study.

When was a time in your life when you felt so anxious or afraid that you almost couldn’t function? What did you do to overcome that feeling? Blair Linne battled anxiety after hitting a deer and totaling her car. The accident left her with a growing fear that wouldn’t dissipate.

Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn about Blair’s journey with anxiety and her advice for someone else who is struggling. You don’t want to miss this encouraging and insightful God Hears Her conversation.

Notes and Quotes:  
“I think there are multiple ways to run from God. Some people choose immorality where they run headfirst into sin and some of us choose morality where they just want to be ‘good.’” —Blair Linne 
 
“I experienced so much shame and even condemnation because I thought that Christians shouldn’t deal with anxiety and if they did, it was an issue with their faith.” —Blair Linne 
 
“What we often do is pit religious fear against sinful fear.” —Blair Linne 
 
“Not everyone has the same story or the same body or the same mind. We are in a fallen world with fallen bodies, and God in His mercy gives us spiritual helps and He also gives us natural helps.” —Blair Linne 
 
“We’re not just a soul, we also have a body. We’re here as a complete person made in the image of God. If a person needs medication to help them, praise God that it exists! And now they can have a complete thought to trust God.” —Blair Linne 
 
“We are not in control and often anxiety or a panic attack can expose that truth to us. It exposes the truth that we are but human and also that we have a God who says, ‘Do not fear, do not be worried, for I am with you.’” —Blair Linne 
 
“Any concern, care, or worry that we have, any physical affliction or ailment that we have is an opportunity for us to see our dependence on God.” —Blair Linne 
 
“You are worthy of being seen by Jesus in your weakness.” —Blair Linne
