INTRODUCTION:
Hello Podcast World! This is our FIRST podcast, and we are super excited.
We record this podcast in my car, the glorious (overtly common) white Nissan Pathfinder! Thus... CAR CHAT Podcast. We have so much fun chatting in our private conversations that we decided to invite you to join us. This is an experiment…so we will see how it goes.
Jamy and I (Amy) met in the 1993 at Oklahoma Baptist University, and God has connected our hearts all these years later as we love and serve Oklahoma Baptist ministry wives. We love to collaborate on writing projects by deep diving into God’s word and it’s relevancy in our lives. We love words. We love women. And, we love God's TRUTH.
This year 2023, we are sharing a Women of the Bible Series where we highlight one woman in the bible each month and talk all things about her real life as a woman, a mom, and a child of God. With each woman we highlight, we will ask the question, "Who is she?" We will answer it with 3-4 describing words.
Women need other women. I LOVE that God includes the lives of real broken women in the bible and reveals how he interacts and redeems them. You don’t have to remain alone in your faith even when no one is around. We are excited to surround ourselves with this community of women and be encouraged as we lean into Jesus.
EPISODE 1:
First up is EVE.
Most of us know her story. She often gets a bad rap for being the one who took that bite and broke our world. Although that is true, she is so much more than her mistakes.
Eve was 1) unashamed 2) responsible yet redeemed, and 3) vulnerable.

We've had so much fun hearing your stories of connecting with these women in the Bible and each other. Some of you have gathered up your friends and created a small group around these podcasts, diving into God's word yourselves and joining into our conversation with your own.
As an added supplement to every episode, Jamy is writing discussion questions to use as a group in discussion or individually to process through in prayer with God.
Episode 1: Discussion Questions
*See episode description in the show notes. Review Genesis 1-4 for her story.
- What did you learn for the first time about Eve? What surprised you about her story with God?
- What were Eve’s biggest mistakes? (dig deeper than the obvious)
- Where have you let doubt create distance between you and God?
- What do you think God thought about her? Why?
- Review the three descriptions of Eve from the podcast and discuss which one resonates the most with you: Unashamed - Vulnerable - Responsible yet redeemed
- “Eve is one of us. Who God is to her, He is to me.” Who was God to Eve? What does that mean to you in your life today?
