What happens when kids move from “borrowed faith” to their own authentic relationship with Jesus? In this episode, Kate talks with Aaron and Liam—two pre-teens learning to follow Jesus—whose insights remind us why family Bible study matters. 

Kate and Jason also share candidly about their own rhythms: how studying separately still leads to meaningful conversations, how person...

Marriage isn’t ultimately about our happiness—it’s about God’s glory. In this episode, host Kate and her husband Jason unpack God’s purpose for marriage as a reflection of Christ and the church, a way to pass on faith to the next generation, and a witness to the watching world.

With nearly 20 years together, they share candidly about leadership and submission, communication struggles, and the lessons they’ve learned about quick repe...

Introducing Part I in the new "Ask Us Anything" series!

Meet the man behind the scenes! In this episode, Kate welcomes her husband Jason to the podcast for their very first series together, "Ask Us Anything,"  with laughter, honesty, and heartfelt reflections.

They share the story of their college friendship that grew into marriage, the unexpected quality they most cherish in each other—and how they’ve only truly ...

After years of suffering with debilitating symptoms, Kate has just emerged from life-changing surgery with renewed health, clarity, and perspective. This deeply personal episode takes you through her journey with Stage IV endometriosis – from mysterious symptoms that doctors struggled to diagnose, to finding specialized care, to the transformative surgery that revealed just how extensively this disease had infiltrated her body.

What does it mean to fear God, serve Him, and swear by His name? At first, these commands from Deuteronomy 6:13 may sound heavy—but in truth, they invite us into freedom and joy.

In this final episode of the God is One series, host Kate unpacks these three directives and shows how Jesus fulfilled them perfectly in the wilderness. Where Israel failed and where we struggle, Jesus stood firm—turning fear into worship, service into joy,...

On the edge of the Promised Land, Moses warned Israel: “When you eat and are full, take care lest you forget the Lord who brought you out of Egypt.” Abundance often makes us forget our dependence on God.

Moses knew this struggle personally—his own disobedience at Meribah cost him entrance into Canaan. Yet instead of hiding his failures, he wrote them down, reminding us that he was never the hero of the story.

In this episode, host Ka...

Trusting that God keeps His promises sounds simple—until life gets hard. In this episode, Kate explores Deuteronomy 6:10 and the Hebrew idea of oath-making, “to seven oneself,” showing God’s unshakable commitment to us.

From creation to the resurrection, God has never failed to do what He said. Yet even Abraham, Moses, and Joshua struggled to trust Him fully. Their failures remind us that God’s faithfulness doesn’t depend on perfect...

What does it really mean to bind God's Word to our hands and foreheads? To write it on our doorposts and gates? Was Moses being literal—or symbolic? And why would that matter for our lives today?

In this episode of The Abidible Podcast, Kate invites you into the beauty and brilliance of Deuteronomy 6:8–9, uncovering how these commands are not about legalistic ritual—but about cultivating a life wholly shaped by love. You’ll exp...

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...
