Exodus 19–20; 24; 31–34, All That the Lord Hath Spoken We Will Do
from Certain Women Podcast · host Becky Squire and Tess Frame
In Exodus 19–20, 24, and 31–34, the Israelites stand at Mount Sinai and make a powerful covenant with God: “All that the Lord hath spoken, we will do.” In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore what that promise really means and how quickly it can be forgotten. As Moses ascends the mountain and the people wait, their fear and impatience lead them to create the golden calf, revealing a deeply human tendency to reach for something easier and more immediate.The conversation reflects on the pattern of preparation and closeness with God. From sanctifying themselves before meeting Him to witnessing His power on the mountain, the Israelites are invited into something sacred, yet they settle for distance. Tess and Becky connect this to modern life, exploring how we sometimes replace God with “golden calves” like comparison, control, or the need for quick validation, things that feel easier to hold onto but pull us away from true discipleship.They also emphasize that covenant living is not a one-time promise, but a daily practice. Through small, consistent choices, we prepare ourselves to come closer to God. For women especially, this episode is a reminder that you are not meant to stay at the base of the mountain. You are invited to come up, to grow, and to belong, not because you are perfect, but because you are His.Follow us here:https://instagram.com/beckysquirehttps://instagram.com/tesiahframehttps://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast
