Dr. Rachel Rauch and Phylicia Masonheimer will talk about the relationship between anxiety and prayer: how to navigate the tension of physical and spiritual causes for anxiety, and how women can find peace with God.

Rachel Rauch, board certified as a traditional Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of Eiro Wellness, is a Christ-follower who recognizes that restoring health involves more than addressing the physical body. True healing also requires support for emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being. She specializes in brain and mood health, understanding that fatigue, digestive concerns, and hormone imbalances often coexist with anxiety and depression.

Olivia Gerber is a sunset-chasing, Jesus-loving adventurer based in Northern Indiana. She finds pleasure in perfectly ripe avocados, plane tickets, and lavender lattes, but her deepest joy is found at the feet of her Savior and she longs to spread His hope in the world. Her health challenges have given her a tender heart toward those facing chronic pain, and she loves bringing hope to this under-served community through her book, Hold Hope. She recently married the curly love of her life and is loving her new adventure with Jack!

In this conversation, Olivia shares how suffering stripped away her sense of control and turned her faith inside out—and how praise, specific prayer, and keeping a record of God's faithfulness carried her through the hardest years. If you're in a season where the answer feels like "no" or "not yet," I hope this encourages you to keep praying anyway.

You can find Olivia at letterstoholdhope.com and on Instagram @letterstoholdhope. Her book "Hold Hope" is available through the Every Woman a Theologian shop.

I'm thrilled to introduce you to my friend Jodie Berndt as we wrap up the prayer series with three special interviews. I've known Jodie for eight years, and her books have been such a blessing in my life—especially "Praying the Scriptures for Your Children," which I've read three times. Jodie has written over a dozen books on praying scripture for your children, teens, adult children, marriage, and life, so whether you're a parent or not, there's something here for you.  

In this conversation, Jodie shares her personal testimony of why she came to praying scripture and how it's impacted her walk with God. We talk about why prayer matters, how to turn passages into conversations with God, and practical ways to get started if this practice is new to you. Jodie's wisdom comes from 40 years of marriage, raising four children, and teaching Bible study in her local church—and her heart for family and scripture shines through everything she does.  

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by what to pray for or struggled to find the words, this episode will equip you with a biblical framework for praying with confidence. You can find Jodie's books wherever you buy books, and she offers free prayer calendars and resources at jodieberndt.com.

He is risen.  
In this final episode of our Holy Week series, I walk through the resurrection account in Matthew 28, the history behind Easter traditions, and what it means to actually live in the power of the resurrection — not just know it as a fact. We close with a beautiful Easter poem by George Herbert.

Holy Saturday is the quiet day — the day between the cross and the empty tomb.  In this episode, I walk through what we know about this often-overlooked day, including the intriguing phrase from the Apostles' Creed about Jesus descending to the grave. The theme for today: prepare your heart, because Sunday is coming.

Good Friday is the most sobering day of Holy Week — and the most important.  In this episode, I walk through the crucifixion, the tearing of the temple veil, and what it all means for us today. Jesus didn't save himself because he was saving you.

Most people have heard of the Last Supper — but do you know why it's called Maundy Thursday?  In this episode, I walk through the foot washing, the new commandment Jesus gave his disciples, and how the Last Supper fulfilled the Passover. The theme for today: watch and pray.

Most people have never heard of Spy Wednesday — but it's one of the most sobering days of Holy Week.  This is the day Judas began plotting to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. In this episode, I walk through what happened, how it fulfilled prophecy written hundreds of years earlier, and why even the darkest betrayal couldn't stop God's redemption.

On Holy Tuesday, Jesus went face to face with the religious leaders — and what happened next has been called "the great unmasking."  In this episode, I walk through Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees, what it reveals about hypocrisy, and why Holy Tuesday is the perfect day to ask: am I genuinely following Jesus, or just going through the motions?

Most of us know Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter — but what about the days in between? Holy Monday is the day Jesus cleansed the temple, and it carries a theme I think we all need: cleanse your heart. In this episode, I walk through what happened, why it matters, and what it looks like to let Jesus do that same work in us today.
