In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose interviews Rhonda Stoppe, a bestselling author and speaker dedicated to helping women live lives free from regret. As a pastor’s wife and host of the “Old Ladies Know Stuff” podcast, Rhonda is full of wisdom on everything from developing a godly marriage to raising children with integrity.

During our conversation, Rhonda draws on the stories of Paul and Peter to show how our failures never disqualify us from being used by God. She guides listeners through practical steps to break free from shame and regret, highlighting the importance of knowing God's character and washing our minds with the Word of God.

Rhonda also speaks to the importance of community and mentorship, particularly from older, seasoned women who are a step ahead of us in our marriage, parenting, careers, or singleness.

Wise words worth echoing:

-“When we break free from our past hurts, nothing's wasted. What Satan uses for evil, God uses for good.”

-“Your freedom from that person [that wronged you] lies in forgiving them.”

-“Gossip is the worst sin among Christian women.”

-“I will never see myself more clearly than through the lens of scripture.”

-“Invite people in your life, older, seasoned, that are just a step ahead of you in their marriage, in their parenting, in their careers, in their singleness.”

-“We will never be the woman of faith – the person God intends for us to be – if we skip over time in the Word, time in prayer, and then really run your race with others that want to follow Jesus like that.”

-“The more we grow in our love for Him, the more His love spills over into our marriages, into our friendships, into our parenting. And you'll have no regrets.”

In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with Ed and Pat Snyder—a husband-and-wife team who lead a home church in Tennessee and have dedicated their lives to investing in people and making disciples.

Ed and Pat share their personal faith journeys, including a divine appointment that ushered them out of a traditional, lifeless religion and into a vibrant relationship with Christ.

They discuss the importance of understanding your authority in Christ, the significance of identifying as saints rather than sinners, and the critical role of discipleship in spiritual growth.

They also shed powerful light on the kingdom of God, reminding listeners that the same healing and deliverance Jesus performed in the New Testament is still happening today through the power of His Holy Spirit.

Wise words worth echoing:

-”God is holy and He's loving, but He wants us to be obedient.”

-”What Jesus did in the New Testament, He’s still doing, but He’s now doing it through His church.”

-”Through the authority of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit indwelling us, we are the extension of His kingdom."

-”God is still about extending His kingdom of light into the kingdom of darkness."

-”The making of a disciple is the making of a mature disciple.”

-”We have the authority over the enemy. We have the authority over the demonic."

-”You can never minimize what you're doing for God's kingdom."

-”Nowhere in the Bible does the Word tell us to make our decisions by our feelings. It’s by obedience.”

In this episode of the Eternal Echoes podcast, host Katharine Rose speaks with Laura Acuña, a life coach, speaker, and author of the book, “Still Becoming: Hope, Help, and Healing for the Diet-Weary Soul.”

For 50 years, Laura struggled with disordered eating and body image issues, living the cycle of shame and defeat. Laura shares how the Lord set her free, enabling her to walk in the fullness of who He created her to be. She emphasizes the importance of grace, the power of renewing your mind, and the significance of aligning your identity with God’s truth.

Laura also encourages women, especially those in their later years, to recognize their value and purpose and to engage with younger women looking for connection and mentorship.

Wise words worth echoing:

-“The Lord puts us through a process. If we were healed in a minute, we'd forget Him in a second.”

-“You don't have wait to be healed for God to tell you how much He loves you and how proud He is of you.”

-“The moment you put your toe on the healing path, He's right there to confirm and say, ‘Go girl, keep going daughter, I love you, you're wonderful, keep going.’”

-“The voice of shame is not God’s voice.”

-“Older women need to engage in the lives of younger women so that we know what's going on.”
