Best Decision I've Ever Made - Accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior

This is a special episode! This week, Susan is celebrating the anniversary of her decision to accept Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. It's a date she celebrates every year because she knows without Him, her life would be so different today.

 

Be encouraged as you tune in to celebrate what the Lord has done in your life. If you don't know Jesus as Lord and Savior, Susan will walk you through that in this episode. It will be the best decision you will ever make!

2026 The Year of Decision

Our world has changed and continues to change. It's only February 2026 and already there have been many things that have taken place that could fill an entire calendar year.

 

After much prayer, Susan shares some wisdom for believers in this hour we're living in. God doesn't want His people gripped with panic, fear, or worry. It's vital we keep our eyes on the Lord and avoid the trap of foolish arguments and raise the standard in our lives to what and whom we live for.

Women's Health - Build Health, Not Sickness

Each month, Susan includes one episode dedicated to women's health. In January, Susan is helping women feel empowered to prioritize themselves and their health by putting themselves in the "driver's seat."

 

As mentioned in the episode, Susan is not a doctor, is not offering medical advice, and is not suggesting that women not seek medical care when necessary. This candid conversation is based on Susan's experiences and opinions. You are encouraged to seek the advice of your medical professional for any questions you may have about your health.

Becoming a Woman Deeply Rooted in Her Faith

This week, Susan encourages women to deepen the roots of their faith. God gave us His Word and wants us to study and apply what we learn to every area of our lives. It was never His intention for us to be tossed to and fro, but to be built up, rooted, and established in Him!

 

Susan also shares in this episode about the first She Rises E-course of 2026, Deeply Rooted Women of Faith. You are invited to join us and can find more information, including how to register, at www.sherisesmn.org. This link takes you to her website, She Rises.

A Woman Who Fears the Lord Shall Be Praised

Hello, 2026! Our first episode of 2026 is about being a woman who fears the Lord. Scripture tells us that a woman who fears the Lord is something to pursue and that she shall be praised for it. (see Pro. 31:30)

 

What does it mean to fear the Lord? This episode will help listeners to understand what it means to fear God and what it doesn't mean.
