In this episode of Rooted and Resilient, we enter the story of Jochebed, the mother of Moses, a woman who faced an impossible choice in a time of fear and uncertainty. Her faith led her to take a step that would change history—but not in the way anyone expected.

For older Christian women (over 50, or even 60!), Jochebed’s journey may feels familiar. Whether you’re navigating the empty nest, stepping into retirement, experiencing loss, or simply wondering what’s next, you know the tension of wanting to hold on while life asks you to release.

What does it really look like to trust God in those moments? And how can letting go open the door to a deeper purpose in this season of life?

Join me as we uncover the truths hidden in Jochebed’s story—one that speaks directly to older Christian women who long to rediscover peace, courage, and renewed purpose in life’s changing seasons.

What if the quiet choices you make today could change history tomorrow? In this episode of Rooted & Resilient, we dive into the story of Shiphrah and Puah—two ordinary women who found extraordinary courage when Pharaoh, the most powerful man in Egypt, commanded them to do the unthinkable.

These midwives, women who spent their days bringing life into the world, were told to take life instead. But Shiphrah and Puah feared God more than Pharaoh, and their quiet act of defiance became part of God’s greater plan for Israel’s deliverance. Their story is a powerful reminder that God sees, God honors, and He can use even the smallest acts of faith to make a lasting impact.

If you’re a Christian woman over 50, navigating an empty nest, stepping into new seasons, or longing to rediscover your God-given purpose, this story is especially for you. Like Shiphrah and Puah, you may sometimes feel overlooked or ordinary, but your faith, your obedience, and your courage are never invisible to God.

Rooted & Resilient is a podcast for Christian women who want biblical encouragement, renewed confidence, and a reminder that God isn’t finished with their story yet. Join host Jennifer Carter as she unpacks the stories of invisible women of the Bible who show us what it means to live with courage, faith, and resilience in every season of life.

Ever felt stuck dealing with someone whose behavior is selfish, foolish, or just plain exhausting? Maybe it’s a spouse, an adult child, a parent or a boss—someone you can’t easily walk away from, but their actions keep dragging you down.

In this episode, we dive into the story of Abigail and David. Abigail was married to a man who was arrogant, unwise, and downright dangerous. She had to tread a challenging path each and every day.

If you’re in a season of transition—facing divorce, an empty nest, life after loss, or just wondering who you are now—I believe Abigail’s story will resonate with you.

Abigail's story reminds us that, just because no one claps for your obedience, it doesn’t mean God isn’t watching—and working things for your good.

If you feel tired of doing the right thing with no recognition ... if you’ve been holding it all together … if you’re weary from doing the right thing and wondering if God sees any of it… this episode is for you.

Because in the end, God didn’t just sort things out for Abigail—He did something she never could’ve seen coming.

Come and hear what happened in her story. I hope it’ll speak right to your heart.
