The Abidible Podcast

What if talking about God wasn’t a burden… but the most natural, joy-filled thing you could do?

In this episode, Kate gently shifts the pressure off your shoulders and invites you to see the command to "teach them diligently" not as a heavy weight, but as a beautiful overflow. If you’ve ever felt disqualified from spiritual leadership—too inconsistent, too distant, too late—this episode will meet you right in that place.

Yo...

Have you ever wondered why knowing the Bible isn’t the same as loving it? Or why all the study in the world still sometimes leaves you feeling spiritually dry?

In this week’s episode, Kate's inviting you into a conversation as rich as it is real — exploring what it truly means to have God’s Word on your heart as commanded in Deuteronomy 6:6. And no, that doesn’t just mean memorizing verses or checking boxes.

In this episode you&...

What does it really mean to love God with all of your heart, soul, and might—when life feels exhausting, your attention is fractured, and your love feels far from wholehearted?

In this episode, host Kate gently untangles the layers of baggage we often carry into our relationship with God—past hurt, fear of failure, idols we didn’t even realize we had—and invites us into the kind of love that isn’t forced, performative, or crushing.

If Yahweh alone is God—as Moses declared in Deuteronomy 6:4—then the question becomes: How should we respond?

In this deeply compelling follow-up to Part 1, host Kate moves from the truth of God’s exclusive identity to its deeply personal implications. Drawing on Scripture, history, and her own story, Kate walks listeners through the heart-level reality of what it means to live like the Lord is one.

But that’s not always easy.

Just li...

Is it narrow-minded—or deeply loving—to say that Yahweh alone is God?

In this powerful episode, Kate confronts the bold and often uncomfortable claim of divine exclusivity found in Deuteronomy 6:4: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” But this isn’t just theology—it’s personal. It’s cultural. It’s urgent.

Whether you’re feeling hesitant to declare your faith in a world that demands spiritual relativity, or you’re long...

If you’ve ever fumbled through a conversation about God with your kids—or avoided it altogether because you weren’t sure what to say—this episode is for you. Whether your kids are toddlers, teens, or grown and gone, Kate talks about what it looks like to teach them diligently (Deuteronomy 6:7), even if it feels like you've already messed it up.

This is not about shame or performance. It’s about God’s grace—grace that restores l...

Join host Kate as she kicks off the brand new "God Is One " series on Deuteronomy 6:4–13. This study will change how you see this powerful passage… and the heart of God behind it.

In this special "don’t miss" introduction, you’ll discover why Deuteronomy is far more than a second giving of the Law — it’s a tender call to remember who God is, what He has done, and who we are because of Him.

You’ll hear how Jesus Hi...

This week, Kate didn’t have a planned episode — but instead felt led to just sit down and share her heart. No script, no structure… just her, a cup of coffee, and an honest look at how God’s been meeting her in the middle of the hard stuff. 

(It's also her own editing skills - so you'll get extra appreciation for The Abidible Podcast's OG editor - Ian - who will be back on duty next week!)

In this episode, Kate talks a...

Would you like to have a biblical theology of suffering — to know what God says about your pain so you can endure with hope?

In this recap episode, Kate wraps up a 12-week journey through 2 Corinthians 4:7–18. It’s packed with the truths that have reshaped the way we think about weakness, pain, endurance, and glory.

We are jars of clay so that God’s power, not ours, gets the spotlight. We’re called to die to self so that others might...

"...as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18)

What if the things that feel most real — your stress, your struggles, your to-do list — are actually the shadows? And what if the unseen things of God — His promises, His kingdom, His presence — are the solid, eternal realities?

In this epi...

“For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison.”  (2 Corinthians 4:17)

What if the pain you're carrying is actually preparing you for something glorious? In this powerful episode, Kate dives deep into 2 Corinthians 4:17 to uncover the surprising truth that our present suffering isn’t pointless—it’s producing something eternal. Drawing from Paul’s personal afflictions, a...

"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day." (2 Corinthians 4:16)

Let’s get real for a minute: have you ever felt like your body is breaking down, your soul is worn out, and your faith is quietly slipping into the background? You're not alone. In this episode, Kate invites you into an honest, hope-filled conversation about what it actually means to not l...

"For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God." (2 Corinthians 4:15)

What if your suffering wasn’t just about you — but about the grace, thanksgiving, and glory God wants to bring through you?

Today we slow down with 2 Corinthians 4:15 to unpack how suffering leads to grace, grace leads to thanksgiving, and thanksgiving leads to the glory of ...

"...knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence." (2 Corinthians 4:14)

What if your pain isn’t the end of the story — but the setup for God’s greatest display of power?

This episode is for the one who feels like something in their life has died — maybe it's hope, health, joy, marriage, or purpose. Easter Sunday came and went but take heart: the resurre...

"Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, 'I believed, and so I spoke,' we also believe, and so we also speak..." (2 Corinthians 4:13)

Ever felt like your testimony isn’t ready yet? Like you need a cleaner ending, a clearer answer, or a little more progress before you speak up?

This week’s episode is for you.

In 2 Corinthians 4:13, Paul says, “I believed, and so I spoke.” Not becau...

"So death is at work in us, but life in you." 
(2 Corinthians 4:12)

Have you ever wondered why the Christian life requires so much dying to self? And how that could possibly lead to life for someone else?

In this episode of The Abidible Podcast, host Kate walks through 2 Corinthians 4:12 to help listeners see the beauty behind these difficult words from Paul. Far from being hopeless or harsh, this verse shows us the ups...

"For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh." 
(2 Corinthians 4:11)

Last week, Kate explored Christ’s call to die to self by taking up our cross daily. Today, we're turning a corner as we encounter a crucial phrase in 2 Corinthians 4:10-11—"so that."

Why does Paul say we carry the death of Jesus? Why are w...

We are..."always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies." 
(2 Corinthians 4:10)

Most of us rush out the door each day making sure we have everything we need—keys, phone, water bottle. But what if we’ve been forgetting the most important thing of all? 

In this episode, Kate unpacks 2 Corinthians 4:10 and what it means to carry in our bodies the death of Jes...

We are..."persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed." 
(2 Corinthians 4:9)

Suffering is so hard. Unfortunately, it's also inevitable—we’re either walking through it, coming out of it, or about to face it again. While pain was never a part of the original plan, it's the current reality we face in the "now and not yet." 

What are you facing right now? Whatever it is, we can all agree...
