I was getting ready for the day and decided to take a friend’s advice and start listening to what’s now my favorite podcast.
As I listened to her words tears flowed. How could a woman who didn’t know anything about me speak straight into my soul?
When my world was opened to podcasts it was like another light was able to shine into my life.
And when I discovered I could listen to different topics that I personally struggled with that also focused on God’s word, I was hooked.

Christian Living Podcasts
4:13 Podcast
“If you are deep in the trenches of life and looking for hope-filled encouragement and practical wisdom, this podcast is for you. With her down-to-earth style, blind author Jennifer Rothschild offers practical encouragement and biblical insight to help you live the “I Can” life of Philippians 4:13 (“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”).
Each episode, Jennifer answers real-life 4:13 questions like, “Can I overcome my fear?” or “Can I find balance?” You won’t find just a cheery “Yes you can”—you will hear a confident and compassionate “Yes, you can—and here’s how.” You will gain the inspiration and help you need to be and do more than you feel capable of!
So, if you could use some practical encouragement, join Jennifer and her “Seeing-Eye Guy” KC for the 4:13 Podcast—it’s just 2 friends, 1 topic, and 0 stress.”

Best Christian podcasts for moms

The Purpose Show
“Mom life: we’re surrounded with the message that it’s the tired life, the no-time-for-myself life, the HARD life.
And while it is hard and full of lots of servitude, the idea that motherhood means a joy-less life is something I’m passionate about putting a stop to.
I’m on a mission to help you stop counting down the minutes till bedtime (at least most days).
I want you to stop cleaning up after your kids’ childhood, and start being present for it – start enjoying it.
I believe in John 10:10, that we are called to abundant life, and I know mothers are NOT excluded from that promise.
Join me in conversations about simplicity, minimalism, and lots of other good stuff that leads to a life of less for the sake of enjoying more in motherhood. “

Risen Motherhood
“A weekly podcast for moms that comes out on Wednesdays. A space to remember we’re not alone in our experiences, to be challenged to have joy among the chaos, remember grace covers guilt, and seek the truth of the gospel above all else.

[MARKED]
Marked is an amazing podcast for women. I love their description of the podcast I couldn’t have said it better myself-
“a podcast for women who are marked by a hunger for God’s Word, a longing to impact culture, and a desire to discover and live out God’s calling in their lives. Each episode Mary Margaret West and Elizabeth Hyndman will talk about what God is doing—how He has and is marking each of us.”
The Next Right Thing
This podcast by Emily P. Freeman is my absolute favorite. The episodes are super short and easy to understand and apply. This podcast is for women who struggle to make decisions in their everyday life and how to bring God into the decision process. But it’s so much more than that. Just take a listen to my favorite episode: 27 Stop Rushing Clarity.

Apologetics Podcasts
The Cold-Case Christianity Podcast
“The Stand to Reason “Please Convince Me” Podcast is hosted by J. Warner Wallace, cold-case detective and author of Cold-Case Christianity (A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels). We examine the case for the Christian Worldview from an evidential perspective and do our best to tell it like it is. With the rules of evidence clearly in mind, we examine the case for the existence of God, the reality of dualism, the reliability of the Biblical text, and the deity of Jesus. Along the way we also take a critical look at the nature of the Christian Church in America today. Why are so many young people leaving the church? Why are so many older Christians apathetic and unengaged? And why do so few Christians understand what they believe, and why do even fewer understand WHY they believe it? Join us each week as we sort through the evidence for the Christian Worldview and examine the life of the Church. “
