Why Do I Still Feel Stuck After Obeying God? | Trusting God in the Waiting Season

In this powerful episode of Bible Study for Women, Courage Molina walks through Genesis 6–9 to unpack what it really means when Scripture says, “God remembered Noah.”
You’ll learn:
Why God’s remembrance marks a turning point—not forgetfulness
How to interpret God’s silence without assuming abandonment
Why breakthrough is often a process, not a “suddenly”
What Noah’s repeated checking teaches us about active faith
The difference between delay and denial
How to stop surviving and start preparing to thrive

When Obedience Leads to Unexpected Waiting: Lessons from Noah's Ark

What happens when obedience to God leads to prolonged waiting? In this episode, Courage Molina explores Noah’s Ark, delayed promises, and faith in long seasons—why waiting can strain believers and how to stay honest with God.
In this episode of Bible Study for Women, Courage Molina takes a deeper look at the story of Noah beyond the flood, focusing on the year-long waiting period that followed. While Noah obeyed God fully, the extended season of confinement reveals an often-overlooked reality: obedience does not guarantee quick resolution or emotional ease.
This conversation challenges believers—especially women walking faithfully yet feeling worn down—to confront the emotional weight of prolonged seasons, resist spiritual bypassing, and practice radical honesty with God.
Through Genesis chapters 6–9, Courage reminds listeners that being kept by God does not mean being unaffected by pressure—and that Scripture gives us permission to bring our grief, frustration, and weariness to Him. Learn why waiting seasons matter, how calling can feel heavier over time, and why reading the entire Bible prepares us for every season of faith.

Your Divine Assignment Is Calling | Are You Listening? (Genesis 6-9)

If you know God has spoken—but you’re still hesitating—this episode is for you.
In this Bible study, we explore what it actually takes to follow through when God’s instructions don’t make sense, there’s no precedent, and obedience feels risky. Using Noah’s story from Genesis 6–9, we shift the focus from waiting for clarity to walking in obedience rooted in relationship with God.
You’ll be reminded that hesitation isn’t always confusion—it’s often fear of building something you’ve never seen before. Noah had never seen rain, yet he built the ark anyway. His story reveals how faith moves from intention to action, and why delayed obedience keeps us stuck.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What follow-through really requires when God has already spoken
Why relationship with God matters more than clarity
How to trust that God finishes what He assigns
Why obedience often comes before understanding
This episode will encourage you to stop waiting for perfect conditions and take the next step God is asking of you—without needing proof, permission, or validation.
Bible Study For Women is a podcast for women who want to grow in biblical understanding, walk in obedience, and live out their faith with confidence and clarity.

Does Grace Stop Consequences? Genesis 4 Explains the Nature of Sin

Genesis 4 Bible study on Cain and Abel explaining how sin is progressive, how God warns us, why obedience matters, and why grace does not erase consequences—even though God remains merciful.
In this episode of Bible Study for Women, we study Genesis chapter 4 to understand the nature of sin—not just what sin is, but how it works.
The story of Cain and Abel reveals that sin doesn’t usually appear suddenly. It builds. God warns us. We have the ability to rule over it. And when ignored, sin creates consequences that are real, lasting, and far-reaching—without canceling God’s mercy.
This episode challenges shallow grace theology and helps you see why obedience is not about perfection, but protection.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why sin is progressive, not accidental
How God warns before sin escalates
What it means to “rule over” sin (Genesis 4:7)
Why consequences can be permanent without meaning God stopped loving you
How God can discipline, protect, and provide—even after failure
Why grace does not make sin harmless
Genesis 4 teaches us that God’s mercy does not rewind choices—but it does restrain destruction. This is why Scripture matters: it forms discernment before damage is done.
Reflection Questions:
Where have I minimized sin instead of responding to God’s warning?
What pattern has been building that I need to confront now?
What consequences am I living with—and where do I still see God’s mercy?
📖 Bible Reading Challenge:
Read Genesis 4 every day this week.
Circle every warning
Underline every consequence
Box every act of mercy

What the Bible Really Says About Women | Identity, Purpose, and God’s Design (Genesis 1–3))

What does the Bible really say about women?
In this episode of Bible Study for Women, we go back to Genesis 1–3 to uncover God’s original design for women—before culture, tradition, or half-truths distorted the picture. If you’ve ever felt minimized, misunderstood, or unsure of your identity as a woman of faith, this conversation brings clarity straight from Scripture.
We explore what it means to be created in God’s image, the true meaning of the word “helper” (ezer kenegdo), the strength and influence woven into God’s design for women, and what the fall reveals about partnership, agreement, and responsibility.
This episode is for women who are ready to stop shrinking, understand the Bible with confidence, and live rooted in God’s truth—not opinions.
