Welcome to the "Girl Read Your Bible" podcast, Sunday School for adults who missed it.
Every week, we explore the stories of real people in the Bible. Our purpose is to provide you, our beautiful listener, with a deeper understanding of the Bible and God's promises for your life. We keep it real, we keep it simple and we talk about how these stories can nurture your spiritual growth guiding you towards fulfilling your purpose and becoming everything you were created to be.
The Friends who wouldn't give up | Faithful Friendship Series
What does a faithful friend do when “Let me know if you need anything” is not enough?
In Mark 2, four people refused to let a crowded doorway keep their friend from Jesus. They carried him, climbed a roof, made an opening, and lowered him into the room. Their faith did not stay hidden in good intentions - it showed up in practical, persistent love.
In this episode of Girl, Read Your Bible, Nicole continues the Faithful Friendship series with an honest conversation about what it means to support someone who cannot carry everything alone. We will talk about showing up in specific ways, praying when a friend has lost hope, helping without taking control, and allowing trusted people to support us too.
You do not have to fix your friend or produce her breakthrough. You can listen, pray, help with the next small step, and bring her closer to Jesus.
In this episode:
Why specific offers of help are often easier to receive than “anything you need”
How to carry someone’s burden without trying to control her story
What it looks like to keep praying when a friend has lost hope
Why receiving support is not weakness or failure
One simple question that can help you love a friend well this week
Scripture: Mark 2:1–12
This week’s challenge: Ask one friend, “What would make you feel supported this week?” Then follow through.

She’s Not Your Competition | A Friend Who Wants You to Flourish | Faithful Friendship Series
In this episode, we're talking about friendship without comparison, celebrating another woman's success, loyalty when friendship becomes inconvenient, and recognizing the people who genuinely want you to flourish.
Jonathan could have viewed David as a threat to his future, but he chose loyalty over jealousy. He protected David, encouraged him, and wanted God’s best for him - even when it cost him personally.
TRUTH: A true friend does not compete with your calling. She celebrates who God created you to be.
📖 Read: 1 Samuel 18:1–4; 19:1–7; 20:1–42
💕 This week's challenge: Encourage one friend specifically. Tell her what you see God developing in her and let her know you're cheering her on.
She's not your competition. There is room in God's story for both of you to become exactly who He created you to be.
3 takeaways
1. Her calling is not competition for yours. What God is doing in another woman's life does not take anything away from what He is doing in yours.
2. Faithful friendship chooses loyalty even when it's inconvenient. Jonathan's friendship cost him something. Real friendship isn't limited to the easy seasons.
3. A true friend helps you flourish. She sees what God is developing in you, encourages it, and doesn't become threatened when you grow.

Girl, Your Giant Isn't Bigger Than Your God | David and Goliath
What if the biggest battle you're facing isn't actually your giant?
What if it's your perspective?
When we read the story of David and Goliath, it's easy to focus on the giant. But David wasn't fearless because Goliath looked small—he was fearless because God looked big.
In this episode of Girl Read Your Bible, we're discovering what made David different, why he refused Saul's armor, and how his confidence came from remembering God's faithfulness instead of focusing on his circumstances.
If you've been overwhelmed by anxiety, fear, disappointment, comparison, or a situation that feels impossible, this episode is for you.
You'll discover:
• Why your perspective matters more than your problem • What David teaches us about being authentically who God created us to be • How remembering God's faithfulness builds courage for today's battles • Why the battle has never belonged to you in the first place
Girl, whatever giant is standing in front of you today, remember this:
Your giant isn't bigger than your God.
Prayer
Father,
Sometimes the giants in my life feel overwhelming. I confess that I often focus more on my fears than on Your faithfulness.
Help me remember what You've already brought me through. Give me David's confidence—not confidence in myself, but confidence in You.
Remind me that I don't have to become someone else for You to use me. You created me with purpose, and You go before me in every battle.
Today I choose faith over fear, truth over worry, and Your promises over my circumstances.
The battle belongs to You.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Today's Affirmation
I will not measure my life by the size of my giant.
I will measure it by the greatness of my God.
God has been faithful before.
He will be faithful again.
