Alrighty, this week in our Women's Bible Study we are looking at Daniel chapter 2. This is where Nebuchadnezzar has his first dream, and (SPOILER ALERT) it's about a big statue.

Daniel gets a chance to stand before the king and show how mighty his God is! This episode gets you ready to read all about it!

Book of Daniel | Nebuchadnezzar's statue dream | Daniel chapter 2

The first wave of captives tread their soles on Babylonian soil this week in Daniel chapter 1, and they are made aware of what this new life will bring in the first couple of years.

First, they'll be given the best education. They'll eat the very same food the king eats. They'll be called by new names. But Daniel does some negotiating and brokers what the captain of the eunuchs believes is a bad deal....but he has a soft heart toward Daniel (wonder how that happened??) so he goes along with it for 10 days. Did you read to find out how it turns out?

Daniel and his three Jewish friends are given new names to remind them where their new loyalties should lie, but they already have really, REALLY good names, and we talk about them. And we see in the end that the new names aren't as potent as they're portrayed.

And finally, we see a parallel between Daniel and someone we've already studied. Do you know before you listen?

This is a great introductory episode setting us up for things to come. I can't hardly wait!

Welcome to a brand new year (Hello 2025!!) and a brand new season (Hello Season 3!!) here at She Walks Worthy.

We are hitting the ground running with a brand new study for the next three months: the book of Daniel.

I get you ready to open up chapter 1 this week to the Babylonian Narrative so you are fully aware of the context and setting - members of the royal family of Judah taken captive to Babylon under the regime of King Nebuchadnezzar.

But before we do even that, I remind you of the tools you already have in your tool belt to help you step into swirling waters of apocalyptic literature. It's not meant to be scary!!

And as usual, I give you some things to think about as you read this week. I hope you are excited to begin this journey with me. Share with a friend, and meet me right back here next week for the full discussion.

I hope you enjoy this Bonus Episode all about Christmas Traditions. We talk about what Christmas Tradition are, why we love them, and why they are important. We talk about what to do when life brings changes...how do we handle that? Honestly, it can be difficult. I share some the Christmas Traditions you sent in to me, and I share some of the traditions of my family. Do any of these sound familiar to you? Are you looking for some new traditions? There are some good ones here to think about.

Finally, we talk about a great tradition that points us to the reason we celebrate: the greatest gift ever given.

I hope you have a very safe and Merry Christmas.

Welcome to the first BONUS EPISODE of our Winter Program where we will take a closer look at the conversion of Saul. In the book of Acts, Luke recounts the story three times, and repetition means something in the Bible, so what is Luke trying to get at? Where is he trying to lead us? Why is THIS conversion so important Luke thought it was necessary to tell the story three different times?

We'll break it all down in this episode. I hope you enjoy it, and please, share it with a friend.

It's another one week Bible study this week as we look at the letter from Jude.

Jude writes to an unspecified church, but he's specific in the audience he's targeting: those who are called, beloved and kept by God the Father for Christ Jesus.

He writes them to plead with them to contend for the true faith that has been handed down once for all to the saints. His explanation of why this is necessary? Unknown to the believers, false teachers have crept in and begun to distort the gospel, to pervert the grace of God into something carnal, and they are trying to lead believers astray.

Jude cuts a path through the Old Testament to link God's past judgement to a coming judgement for these ungodly false teachers.

He finally ends his letter by telling his audience HOW they are to contend for this most holy faith.

Every lesson Jude teaches is applicable to us today. We must learn to be discerning and recognize the false teachers that surround us, and we must learn to contend for the true faith that was handed down once for all to the saints.

Oh, I'm not sure how I feel about posting this last episode of our Bonus Series. Of course, I'm happy to have done this series, I thouroughly enjoyed it, and I believe you all did as well, but it's a little sad that it has to come to an end.

In our final episode, my senior pastor Joshua York takes a gander about why more pastors don't utilize the tool of expository preaching.

First, Joshua defines expository preaching, then he contrasts it with topical preaching. He then gives his best educated guess as to why more pastors don't practice this method of preaching, and he wraps up the discussion with the benefits of expository preaching, and why it nurtures a healthy church.

Then if you hang around to the very end (and I hope you do), I have a little fun and do a "lightening round" of fun questions for Joshua. Do you know what Joshua's favorite junk food is? Did you know his taste in music is quite diverse? Can you guess what he has on his play list for long road trips back to Texas? Is there a book of the Bible he finds especially challenging? And find out what two books Joshua would really love to preach through, and hear what's holding him back from tackling them on Sunday mornings.

Enjoy this final episode of our bonus series. If you would like to submit a question for a future Ask The Pastor series, you can reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram:
