Strong Dependent Women is a podcast that focuses on the beauty of depending on the Lord. In a world that is set on making “strong independent women” that don’t need anyone to be happy and successful, this podcast invites you to see womanhood through a Biblical lens. Tune in with your host, Madison Mancias, as we get to know Jesus deeper and in turn make Him known to others.
WEEK 9: RUTH | A THROWBACK EPISODE
I’m so excited to share a little throwback with you this week!
For Week 9 of our Women of the Bible series, we’re going back to one of the very first episodes of Strong Dependent Women — “Let’s Read Ruth Together!”
Before this series ever existed, we spent time studying Ruth and learning about her faithfulness, loyalty, courage, and ultimately, her trust in God’s plan—even when she couldn’t see what was ahead.
Listening back to this episode feels so special because it’s a little glimpse into where this podcast began, and now we get to revisit Ruth together as part of our Women of the Bible journey.
So whether you listened to this episode when it first came out or you’re hearing it for the very first time, I hope you’ll open your Bible, grab your journal, and spend some time with Ruth this week.
Because being a strong, dependent woman means learning to trust the God who is always faithful.
Listen to Week 9: Let’s Read Ruth Together! Read: Ruth 1–4
What stands out to you most about Ruth? I’d love to hear what God is showing you through her story.

The Women of the Bible Series - Week 8: Rahab
Women of the Bible — Week 8: Rahab
This week on Strong Dependent Women, we’re diving into the story of Rahab—a woman whose past did not disqualify her from being part of God’s plan.
Rahab’s story is one of faith, courage, redemption, and radical trust in God. She was a woman with a complicated past who made a bold decision to trust the God of Israel, and that decision changed the course of her life—and her family’s life—forever.
In this episode, we’ll talk about what Rahab’s story teaches us about leaving our past behind, having faith before we can see the outcome, protecting what God has entrusted to us, and remembering that God can use anyone for His purposes.
Your past does not make you unusable. Your mistakes do not make you unworthy. And your story is not finished.
Let’s look at Rahab and the God who turns redemption into part of the story. 🤍

I Don’t Want to Upload Just to Upload
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a little change to the podcast schedule: moving from uploading every Monday to uploading every other Monday.
But this decision is about so much more than having an extra week between episodes. I’ve been thinking and praying about what it looks like to create this podcast from a place of intentionality rather than feeling like I need to constantly produce something just to stay on schedule.
I don’t want to rush through my time with God just so I can record an episode. I want to give myself space to be still, sit in silence, listen for His voice, and allow Him to lead what I share here.
I want this podcast to be prayerfully considered. I want the words I share to come from a place of spending time with the Lord, not from pressure to have something to upload every single week.
So, every other Monday it is. 🤍
Thank you for being here, for listening, and for allowing me the space to create this podcast at the pace God is calling me to.
