In every page of Scripture, the heart of God is reaching toward us. In this episode, Stasi sits down with Olivia Eldredge, editor of The Message Women’s Devotional Bible, as they explore where the stories of women rise with dignity and depth. Together they uncover God’s heart for His daughters and His invitation to bring our whole selves—questions, wounds, and the deeper places of our hearts—into His presence.
