What’s an empty cross? A cross without Jesus on it. A cross without pain, torture and suffering with only love remaining. Let’s take a closer look. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Suggested music listening.

What happens when our problems feel insurmountable and we desperately need a safe place to run?

In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, Jaime dives into the powerful, action-packed first half of Psalm 18. This psalm is so rich with dramatic, awe-inspiring imagery of God's deliverance that it takes two full episodes to cover! As she reads through David’s praise for being rescued from Saul and his enemies, Jaime explores the intense, poetic descriptions of the Lord parting the heavens, sending hailstones, and riding on the wind to save His children.

Jaime unpacks two fascinating questions that arise from this passage. First, she wrestles with David’s bold claim of having "clean hands" and a blameless record—a surprising statement from a man with a well-documented history of deep sin. Is he foreshadowing the perfect righteousness of Jesus, referring to his specific restraint in sparing King Saul, or resting in the cleansing grace of true repentance? Then, she dives into the ancient meaning behind calling God the "horn of my salvation," tracing it back to the physical horns of the Old Testament altar where desperate fugitives would run for absolute safety and asylum.

Just like touching "home base" in a childhood game of tag, Jaime reminds us that we have a secure, unshakeable refuge in the Lord. When we picture God's fierce, earth-shaking power rushing to our defense, the complicated problems that pursue us suddenly pale in comparison to our Creator.

Whether you are feeling chased by an impossible situation, overwhelmed by anxiety, or simply need a reminder that the God of the universe is fighting for you, we hope this episode empowers you to lay hold of the altar, step into His fearless protection, and face your week with unshakeable boldness!

Why Is My Child So Anxious About School? Back-to-school anxiety doesn’t always look like anxiety.

Have you ever asked God to show you where you need to change?

Psalm 139:23-24 invites us to ask God to search our hearts and reveal attitudes, priorities, habits, and motivations we may not recognize ourselves. Christine F. Perry shares how people-pleasing and the desire to help others caused good priorities to become disordered in her own life.

Today's prayer asks God to reveal what needs to change—not through condemnation, but through His loving conviction, grace, and guidance.

When God said, “Jacob have I loved and Esau have I hated” what on earth did He mean?

The risk God takes in blessing us is that we start believing we deserve it--and make an idol of the blessing!

Once all creation was interconnected so that all things worked together for good. That is being restored, and can begin with you.

Israel’s shortcomings as a Wife, as a Priest, as a Guardian and as a Son!

If humankind is to see that what God offers, works—it must be seen to work in humans; and that is why He chose a people as a ‘display’!

Do you feel like you should be further along in life by now? Comparing our progress, accomplishments, or pace with others can quickly turn growth into anxiety.
