Far More Podcast

What is biblical womanhood? What does God's Word say about: In a flood of various definitions of womanhood, Liz thought it was important to clarify the Bible's instruction for feminine roles, character, and behavior for women. In this episode of the Far More Podcast, Liz breaks down two passages from the Bible that piece together a portion of what it means to be a Christian woman in today's world. If you find this episode challenging, guess what? So does she! Living out biblical womanhood is a high calling and we all need the help of the Holy Spirit to do it.

A couple of weeks ago Liz talked about the whole "man versus bear" question that was posed to moms of daughters and then went on to share a terribly traumatic experience in her life. This re-sparked a conversation that she and Jason have previously talked about with each other: what is going on with the "brand" of me and is there any hope of it being saved? Listen in as they unpack what may be going on with men, toxic masculinity as well as what it means to have biblical manhood. You can watch this episode over on YouTube by clicking here.

You know how they say comparison is the thief of joy? While that is true, social media can also rob us of joy if we allow it to. Social media can play some very dark tricks on our brains and on our mental health. Listen in as Liz talks about her own struggles with social media and how it can negatively affect us. She also gives some tips on how to avoid these pitfalls.

Would you rather your daughter encounter a random bear in the woods or a random man? 100 out of 100 (yes, you read that correctly) moms answered “bear” and the backlash that women have received from a lot of men for answering this way is staggering and disturbing. One-fourth of American women and a growing number of men have experienced some form of sexual abuse, ranging all the way from inappropriate talk to years of repeated physical violation. Sexual abuse produces emotional, psychological and spiritual damage that devastates some of its victims. In Christ there is healing for people, like me (Liz) and maybe like you, damaged by sexual abuse. As with every other kind of sin-damage in this fallen world, God’s word gives us steps back to wholeness and his truth sets us free. Today I am giving you some Biblical steps to start the healing process and journey to recovery and restoration: 1. Recover a biblical view of sex 2. Learn the difference between true and false guilt 3. Realize that the grip of the past is blocking God’s purpose for your present 4. Let Jesus heal your painful memories Verses that clearly show God created sex in a holy marriage for our pleasure and enjoyment: If you or someone you know is suffering sexual abuse, please contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-4673 (call or text) We are so glad you're here and if you are enjoying this podcast, please rate it, review it and share it!

Have you ever felt like was nowhere to be found? You're in the middle of a dark season and God just feels distant. You hear other people talking about how incredible their walk with the Lord is or how God is working and moving in their lives and you just feel... nothing. Numb. I (Liz) have been there and I want you to know that there is hope. Today we're going to talk about three reasons why you might be experiencing this distance from God and what you can do to reconnect with God, or maybe even get connected to Him for the very first time.

For a long time, prayer was just a box to check on my (Liz) spiritual-to do list. It was boring and lifeless, if I’m being honest. I started to question why I was even doing it at all. I have a feeling that I am not the only one who has had this experience with prayer. Maybe you are there right now and you are so frustrated and fed up. I am bringing some really good news to you today! Prayer can be vibrant and life-giving and transformational. And that can start right now.

Just the thought of studying the Bible can be overwhelming. Not only do you not know where to start, but you're too intimidated to even begin. You are not alone and it is perfectly normal to have feelings of overwhelm. Sometimes reading the Bible can seem so boring and tedious, but hopefully these three steps that Liz shares today will help you go from being overwhelmed by the daunting task of studying your Bible to overwhelmed by God's words being spoken to you through His written Word.

Today Liz shares about a local podcast's episode she was interviewed for about building community as well as the local group she created called Craving Far More, a weekly coffee shop meet-up for women to connect and just do life together. If you are looking to connect with other women online, you can request to join the Craving Far More Facebook group. She talks about her feelings of inadequacy and doubting herself, but Jason (being the supportive husband he is), assures her that she did a great job. Jason also opens up about his struggles surrounding building community because of his independent “I’ll do it all myself” nature. They both know that having a community of people to hold you accountable and call you out on your stuff is essential, but it takes a lot of work to get to that point. At one point, Liz tries to convince Jason that she's not an extrovert, but instead an outgoing introvert, and he just isn't buying it. Listen in as they unpack why community is so important, even if you are an introvert! You can watch this episode on YouTube here.

What does Easter mean to you? All over the world people celebrate Easter every year. In today's episode of the Far More Podcast, Jason and Liz reflect on Holy Week of 2024 and unpack what Easter (Resurrection Sunday) means to them. Jason talks about how he identifies with Barabbas, who was a criminal that was set free when the Jews chose Jesus, an innocent man, to be crucified instead of Barabbas. What must the rest of his story have looked like when he found out why he was able to go free? Liz shares how emotional the week was for her and how she found herself doubting and just needed a little sign from God that she was on the right path and how He gave her just that.

Liz and Jason have talked about suffering before on the Far More Podcast, but today they want to really dig in and see what God's Word says about suffering. The Bible tells us in Romans 8:28 that anything can be worked out for the good of those who love the Lord, but can we also use our suffering to build community and as part of our ministry? Yes! Galatians 6:2 literally tells us to bear each other's burdens. It's what we're called to do as followers of Jesus. From addiction to mental health and self-inflicted suffering to life circumstances, Liz and Jason talk about it all. The TikTok where the gal talks about addiction not just being a bad habit Verses referenced (and not mentioned) about suffering: Psalm 119:50Acts 14:22Romans 8:18Romans 8:282 Corinthians 12:9-10James 1:2-4You can watch this episode over on YouTube here.

Kairos Prison Ministry is quickly becoming near and dear to Liz and maybe even Jason's hearts. This past weekend, they visited the West TN State Penitentiary (WTSP) to participate in the closing ceremony of the Kairos Walk, a bi-yearly weekend-long event where volunteers go and share the love and forgiveness of Jesus to incarcerated men and women. They recount their experience while there, from the check-in process to literally walking through the prison to finally coming face-to-face with the inmates of the WTSP. They can't wait for you to push play and hear how the Kairos Prison Ministry is being the hands and feet of Jesus and fighting for the forgotten. Kairos Prison Ministry is changing lives Watch more inspirational videos here You can watch this episode over on YouTube here. Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for the Kairos Prison Ministry. Please give the volunteers the courage to share Your love with the inmates they meet. Please soften the hearts of the inmates who do not know You. Help them to accept the love and forgiveness that You so freely give when we call on Your name. Please be with the families of those who are incarcerated because they are living in a prison of their own. Please help the Kairos Torch ministry take off and allow them to get into the Juvenile Detention Center in Somerville, TN. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

In the previous episode, Jason and Liz gave us the first five habits to begin cultivating in order to bring back intimacy in marriage: 1. Talk to your spouse 2. Learn your spouse's love language and use it 3. Take care of yourself 4. Date your spouse 5. Flirt with your spouse in a way they respond to positively This week, they're giving us the final five habits to help couples who are in a hard season or just a season of disconnect to reconnect to each other and hopefully reignite that spark! This stuff isn't easy, but these habits are essential if you're wanting to bring back the intimacy in your marriage. These aren't in order of importance, but we do believe you have to start with the first one (communication). So start there and our prayer is that you'll be on the road back to having an intimate marriage.

There have been high highs and low lows, but over the last 13 years, they have figured out a thing or two about how to make their marriage thrive.

In today's episode of the Far More Podcast, Liz shares with us a journey that she is going on - a journey to becoming sugar free. While she doesn't know exactly what that looks like yet, she does know that God is calling her to leave behind her old ways and step into a new life that He has for her. She is stepping out in obedience and she is encouraging you to do the same. Jason and Liz talk briefly about their little tiny adventure they went on over President's Day weekend and the adorable tiny house they stayed in (linked below). Jason offers some words of encouragement to Liz, which are her favorite, but he also reminds her that just because she's going on this journey, it doesn't mean that others will be along for the ride. More than that, they may call her silly or make fun of her or even try to discourage her from living a sugar free life. Listen in as they unpack their weekend and talk about Liz's new journey!

If you need evidence of people hurting, look no further than this seemingly innocuous tweet by Elmo (link to the tweet) where he asks how everyone is doing. Here are some statistics from that one tweet: Here’s the thing—we need to better at checking on our friends. Not only that, but when our friends check on us, we need to be bold enough to tell them that we’re not ok and we need help. We then need to take it a step further and commit to praying over, and for, those friends who are hurting. The Lord wants us to cry out to Him, and even if we have no idea what to pray, that’s ok because God has given us Jesus and the Holy Spirit, who pray on our behalf when words just fail us. Jesus should be our first lifeline that we call when we’re hurting. Please be encouraged by today's episode of the Far More Podcast and go check on your friends!

Right before Jesus “kicked off” His ministry while here on earth, He was first baptized by JTB (John the Baptist) but then He went into the wilderness and fasted for 40 days. 40 days! Can you imagine going even 40 hours without food? Bet you can’t! Today, Liz and Jason talk about their experience so far with being called into a time of corporate fasting with their church, Faith Arlington. Liz gets real vulnerable and shares a really low moment she had and how the Lord convicted her of food fixation. Jason shares how he’s never been part of a fast like this before, so he is taking it very seriously and wants to be super intentional with why he’s doing it. He also admits that, while his struggles with food aren't the same as Liz's, he does struggle with control. They laugh at their mess-up on the night of day 4, but also get serious about what God showed both of them individually through this misstep. Listen in and find out what they did!!

What was your immediate reaction when you read the title of this episode? Did it make you uncomfortable? Did you it make you want to skip over this one? Or did it bring you peace and calm? Today, we’re talking about entering into the eremos with God. Eremos: quiet, desolate place. If we want to hear the voice of God, we first have to get quiet and then listen. But this world is so noisy and we often find ourselves crowding out God’s voice with distractions, whether intentionally or unintentionally. It’s time that we get back to putting the first things first, and the first thing we should be doing every single day is getting alone with God to hear from Him.
