S2 E31 Fear Driven or Faith Led 9/2/26 @RomansGals
Life keeps moving — kids grow up, seasons change, and time doesn't wait for us to catch up. In this episode, Dodi and Marlo sit with that truth to talk about something deeper: how to stay patient and trust God's timing when everything around you says "make a move." Using the story of Jeroboam, they explore what it costs to let fear — instead of faith — motivate our decisions, and to force an outcome instead of enduring the wait. It's a look at what it means to let God refine us, even when it hurts. Part 1 of 2.
S2 E30 From Contention to Peace 8/26/26 @Romans Gals
What happens when the pressures of life begin pressing against who God says you are? In this episode, we look at the words and life of Paul in the book of Romans, exploring contention, surrender, and the beautiful truth that it is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance. What happens when the need to argue, defend ourselves, or prove we are right begins to steal our peace? Paul’s own life reminds us that God can transform contention into a life that speaks truth in love. And through patient endurance and the renewing of our minds through the Word of God, we can remain steadfast in who we are in Christ, trusting that when we feel we’ve reached the end of our rope, there is still more ahead that God already sees. Come join us. Your rope may be longer than you think.Title and introduction forthcoming.
S2 E29 Eternity in the Ordinary 8/19/26 @RomansGals
Eternity is without beginning or end; it always has been, always will be, and will never cease. What if the delays, interruptions, and ordinary moments of your day are carrying an eternal purpose? Come and sit with us today, and allow your heart to see differently—not through the lens of a harsh God teaching you a lesson, but through the heart of Love, who sees the whole path and is preparing your victory today for someone waiting in your tomorrow.
S2 E28 WORD DAY: JESUS Prays for YOU 8/12/26 @RomansGals
Today is WORD Day. Join us as we step into the garden where Jesus prays to the Father. Hear His love for the Father and His declaration that He completed the work He was sent to do. Walk with us as we hear Jesus’ longing to return to the Father and to the glory they shared before the world was. Kneel your heart to the love of the Son for the Father and the oneness revealed in this prayer—a prayer meant to be heard by all who would believe after He returned to the Father. Surrender your fears of the evil one and see how we are set apart by the Word of Truth, as our Lord prays that we would be kept from the evil one. We invite you to be present in John 17 and hear the prayer our Lord prayed with us in mind.
S2 E27 Love That Goes Beyond The Flesh 8/5/26 @RomansGals
What if we learned to see ourselves and each other through the lens of Jesus—fully forgiven, fully loved, accepted in the family of God, and no longer working to earn our place as sons and daughters? We are walking through what happens when we lay down the “us versus them,” the labels, offenses, and sides, and allow the ministry of reconciliation to work through us. Maybe the question isn’t whose side God is on, but how do we see the one in front of us the way He does—and discover that the Forgiver has been in the room the whole time?
S2 E26 Access Granted! Jesus, The Door to Intimacy 7/22/26 @RomansGals
What if the greatest breakthrough in prayer isn't praying harder, but knowing the Father's heart? Join us as we discover what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray, “Our Father,” and how, through Him, we have safe, unrestricted access to the One who knows us completely. Together we'll explore Psalm 32 and discover that the God who searches our hearts is the very One who loves us enough to heal them.
S2 E25 Meet With The Living Word 7/15/26 @RomansGals
Every relationship begins with a meeting. Our relationship with Jesus is no different. We don't simply read the Scriptures to gain information—we meet with the Living Word. As we seek, inquire, and treasure His written Word, the Holy Spirit reveals the One it has always been pointing to: Jesus. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: Is 11:1-3
S2 E24 Living From Freedom 7/8/26 @RomansGals
Welcome to the Romans Gals! This week, Dodi and I are excited to welcome our special guest, Kaleb Rimes—my son—as we explore one of the greatest truths of the Gospel: freedom. What if the greatest battle of your life isn't trying to become who God wants you to be—but believing who He already says you are? Too often we live as though we're fighting for freedom, while heaven declares we're already free. In this conversation, we explore what it means to live from the promise instead of striving for the promise. Just as Solomon simply stepped into the promise King David had already declared over his life, we are called to step into the promises God has already spoken over us. Through the indwelling of Holy Spirit, we discover that freedom isn't our destination—it's our starting place. Join us as we discuss learning who we are in Christ rather than striving to become who we already are in Him. Agree with His Word. God is not a liar. Your freedom has already been spoken. Now, live from it.
S2 E23 Growing Through the Tares 7/1/26 @RomansGals
The enemy may sow the tares, but only Jesus can produce the wheat. Stop giving your attention to what the enemy planted, and surrender to the One who is preparing you for harvest." In this episode, Dodi and I explore a perspective that challenged our own hearts. The wheat and the tares are not about identifying someone else's faults—they reveal the daily battle within each of us. Like Paul describes in Romans, we often find ourselves doing what we don't want to do and failing to do what we know is right. The answer isn't striving harder or obsessing over the work of the enemy. The answer is fixing our eyes on Jesus, whose blood transforms what we could never change ourselves. Join us as we discuss who sowed the seed, why the enemy wants our attention, and how God is faithfully producing the fruit of wheat in those who belong to Him.
S2 E22 Surrendered Fruit Part 2 6/11/26 @RomansGals
We continue discussing The harvest of Surrender has always belonged to the One who planted the seed Immature fruit clings to the branch because it isn’t ready. Mature fruit releases because its purpose has been fulfilled. Spiritually, surrender is not weakness—it is the evidence that Christ has completed a deeper work within us.” If you've been waiting, stretching, or wondering why God hasn't moved yet, this conversation will encourage you to trust the process. The fruit cannot be rushed—but when it is ready, the harvest comes. I like these but feel free to add or take away. Last day on the water, we have had so much fun and reflecting on what God is saying to our hearts right now. Love you and will be home late Saturday. We will be back on line Wednesday for pod cast and church.
