Her Faith Inspires Podcast

Grandparents have a powerful, often overlooked role in shaping the faith of the next generation. In this episode, I sit down with Lori Wildenberg to talk about how grandparents can intentionally partner in the discipleship of their grandchildren. We discuss practical ways to build a lasting legacy of faith and why generational discipleship is part of God's design for the family.

What is worship—really? For many Christians, worship has been reduced to music on a Sunday morning. But is that what the Bible actually teaches? In this episode, we take a deeper look at what Scripture says about worship and how a biblical worldview shapes our understanding of it. From Genesis to Revelation, we trace the theme of worship and idolatry to see what God truly requires of His people. We also examine how modern worship culture can sometimes reveal something deeper—subtle forms of self-focus that shift attention away from God. In this episode, we discuss: What worship is (and what it isn't) How our worldview shapes the way we worship The theme of worship throughout Scripture The connection between worship and idolatry What modern worship music may reveal about the heart If you've ever assumed worship was just about singing, this episode will challenge you to think more deeply—and more biblically—about what it means to truly worship God.

Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus encountering women from very different backgrounds—some broken by sin, some weighed down by shame, and others overlooked by society. Yet in every encounter, Jesus responds not with condemnation, but with truth, compassion, and life-changing mercy. Tamar walks us through the stories of six women who met Jesus face to face and experienced His transforming grace. Together we discuss what these encounters reveal about the heart of Christ, the power of repentance, and how Jesus still meets us today in our own places of need. If you've ever wondered whether God's mercy is really big enough for your past, your struggles, or your doubts, this conversation will remind you of the hope found in Christ. In this episode we discuss: The women in Scripture who personally encountered Jesus What their stories reveal about the character of Christ The difference between cultural empowerment and biblical redemption Why Jesus' mercy is both compassionate and transformative Tamar Miller Website Find Shanda www.shandafulbright.com Instagram & Facebook: @shandafulbright Email: hello@shandafulbright.com Free Resources: https://shandafulbright.com/links YouTube: http://bit.ly/ShandaYT2021 Store: www.Shandafulbright.com/shop

Insecurity is something many women wrestle with, but what does Scripture actually say about it? In this episode, we explore how insecurity often reveals a deeper issue of self-focus. Looking at examples from the Bible, we'll see how people responded when God called them and how God answered their excuses. If you've ever struggled with self-doubt or feeling inadequate, this conversation will help reframe insecurity through a biblical lens and point you back to where your focus belongs.

What should women's ministry actually produce? In this conversation with Cyndee Ownbey, we talk about moving beyond event-driven programming to real, discipleship-centered ministry. What are the red flags of a shallow women's ministry? What role should spiritually mature women play? And how do we move women from consuming content to becoming committed disciple-makers? If you're hungry for depth — or leading women who are — this episode will challenge and equip you to build something that produces lasting fruit.

Today we explore a growing trend among Christian women: approaching the Bible more for emotional comfort than for the knowledge of God. Why do we gravitate toward the "easier" books of the Bible and avoid the ones that require deeper study? Has church quietly become a place for therapy rather than transformation? And how has a worldview known as Moralistic Therapeutic Deism shaped what many Christians expect from faith? Shanda shares a personal lesson that exposed this mindset in her own life and offers a biblical solution—one that doesn't dismiss emotional healing, but roots it in theology instead of self-focus. If we want lasting wholeness, we have to move from reading the Bible for ourselves to reading it to know God.

In this important conversation, I sit down with Cortney Donelson, author of Loving Them to Death, to talk about one of the most emotionally charged issues in our culture: love. What if the way culture defines love isn't actually loving? What if affirmation without truth is doing more harm than good? We unpack how "love" has been redefined to mean unconditional approval, why that definition falls short of the biblical standard, and how Christians are often pressured to compromise truth in order to appear compassionate. Cortney shares why untethering love from God's design doesn't rescue people — it enables destruction. We also discuss what it really looks like to love people well: speaking truth with courage, refusing emotional manipulation, and anchoring our compassion in the character of Christ. If you've ever been told you're unloving for holding to Scripture, this episode will equip you to think clearly and respond biblically.

"Love" is one of the most used—and most argued-about—words in our culture. With over 2.1 billion hashtags on Instagram and 76 million posts declaring "love is love," it's clear that everyone has a definition. But does God? Christians are often told we're "not loving enough" when we speak about God's design for marriage, the reality of biological sex, or the sanctity of life. We're reminded to "speak the truth in love"—sometimes as a correction, sometimes as a weapon. But before we argue about how to love, we have to ask a more important question: What is love, according to God? In today's episode, we'll unpack what Scripture tells us to love, what God explicitly tells us not to love, and how to discern whether love is truly present—or merely being used as a slogan.

What happens when shame feels heavier than grace—and you're not sure God could really forgive that choice? In this powerful and hope-filled conversation, Shanda sits down with Brittany Poppe, Christian abortion recovery coach, pro-life speaker, and host of the globally ranked podcast Does God Forgive Abortion?. After carrying the weight of her own abortion for years, Brittany found true healing through biblical forgiveness and a restored identity in Christ. Now, she helps other women partner with God in their healing journeys—moving from guilt, shame, and unworthiness into peace, freedom, and hope. In this episode, Brittany shares her personal turning point, what it practically looks like to "partner with God" in healing, and why faith-filled community is essential for post-abortion recovery. You'll also hear her address common Christian misconceptions about healing after abortion, explain her Abortion Recovery Framework, and unpack why giving women permission to grieve is a vital part of redemption. Whether you're walking through post-abortion healing yourself, supporting someone who is, or seeking a more biblical understanding of forgiveness and restoration, this conversation is a powerful reminder that God's grace redeems everystory.

How do we know if what we're walking through is a trial God is using to refine us—or a consequence of our own sin? In this episode, we take a biblical look at suffering, discernment, and the subtle danger of the comfort trap. We'll talk about why our desire for comfort can sometimes lead us to compromise, how Scripture helps us distinguish trials from consequences, and what God actually promises when it comes to comfort. If you've ever wondered why life feels hard—or questioned what God is doing in the middle of it—let's talk about it!
