Rooted in Truth: Daily Bible Study for Busy Women

After an undeniable miracle, the crowd looks for a reason to dismiss it. Today we talk about our posture toward what God is doing — are we looking for reasons to receive it, or reasons to explain it away? (S5E29)

"Lord, teach us to pray." Today we open Luke 11 and look at the simple, honest prayer Jesus gives His disciples — and His invitation to keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking, because our Father is good. (S5E28)

This week was all about cost — the "firsts" we hold onto, being sent without a safety net, redefining who our neighbor is, and choosing presence over busyness. Today we pause and ask: where is God asking me to be all in? (S5E27)

Martha's frustrated, Mary's sitting at Jesus' feet, and Jesus gently names what's really going on. Today's episode is for anyone whose life feels like Martha's kitchen — busy, worried, full of details — and needs permission to just sit with Him. (S5E26)

"Who is my neighbor?" is the wrong question. Today we walk through one of Jesus' most familiar parables and discover He's not asking us to define a category — He's asking us to become one. Mercy in action, not just agreement. (S5E25)

The disciples come back rejoicing over what they did — and Jesus redirects their joy. "Rejoice that your names are registered in heaven." Today's episode is about rooting our identity in belonging to God, not in our last win or setback. (S5E24)

"The harvest is great, but the workers are few." Jesus sends seventy-two disciples out with almost nothing — no money, no backup plan, just a message and an identity. Today we talk about being sent even when we feel under-resourced. (S5E23)

 Three people tell Jesus they'll follow Him — "but first…" Today we open a new theme with Jesus drawing a clear line between admiration and commitment. If you've ever had a "first" standing between you and full obedience, this episode is for you. (S5E22)

Jesus "resolutely set out for Jerusalem" — knowing exactly what awaited Him there. When a village rejects Him, His disciples want to call down fire. He simply moves on. Today we start a new week talking about rejection, resolve, and not every "no" requiring a fight. (S5E21)

This week was all about one question: "Who do you say I am?" From feeding the five thousand to the Transfiguration to redefining greatness, every story pointed back to Jesus Himself. Today, we pause and ask — not who we've been told He is, but who we say He is, based on how we've actually experienced Him. (S5E20)

Right after Jesus talks about laying down His life, His disciples argue about who's the greatest. His response? He puts a child beside Him. Today we talk about status, recognition, and what real greatness looks like in God's eyes. (S5E19)

Straight from the glory of the mountain, Jesus walks into chaos — a desperate father, a son convulsing, disciples who already failed. And he doesn't hesitate. Today's episode is for anyone who feels like they need to be "spiritually ready" before bringing their hardest situation to God. (S5E18)

Peter sees Jesus in glory and immediately wants to build something to stay there. But God's voice from the cloud says something different: "Listen to him." Today we talk about mountaintop moments — and why they're meant to send us back down, not keep us up there. (S5E17)

Jesus asks His disciples two questions back to back — and only one of them really matters. "Who do the crowds say I am?" is easy. "But who do YOU say I am?" requires everything. Today we sit with Peter's answer and ask ourselves the same question. (S5E16)

You feed them." That's Jesus' response to an impossible math problem. Today we open Luke 9 and watch five loaves and two fish become more than enough for 5,000 people — with leftovers. If what you're holding feels too small for the need in front of you, this episode is for you. (S5E15)

Jesus never sends His people out empty. In today's Sunday episode, we step into Luke 9, where Jesus gives the disciples power and authority, tells them to travel light, and sends them out. And a question surfaces that has been building all week: Who is this man? Five minutes in Luke 9:1–9 (NLT) with Tina Combs.

Ever feel like the ground shifted under you — and you're not sure how to rebuild? This week, we walked through Luke 8 and the theme of "What kind of soil am I?" Today, I'm getting personal: the loss of community I've experienced, what it's taught me about starting over, and why growth often happens quietly underground before it ever shows up as fruit. I'm also sharing some real updates — the tough decisions I've made recently and how they've helped me revamp my voice for this show. If you've ever had to tear something down to rebuild it stronger, this one's for you.

She had been bleeding for twelve years. She came to Jesus quietly, from behind, hoping not to be noticed. And He stopped — called her Daughter — and would not let her stay invisible. In today's episode, two desperate people and one Jesus who does not miss a single one. Five minutes in Luke 8:40–56 (NLT) with Tina Combs.

He lived in tombs. He had been in chains. The whole town had given up on him. And Jesus crossed a lake specifically to reach him. In today's episode, we watch Jesus walk toward the one person everyone else walked away from — and we're reminded that our testimony is someone else's doorway to hope. Five minutes in Luke 8:26–39 (NLT) with Tina Combs.

He led them straight into the storm. And then He fell asleep. In today's episode, the disciples face a violent squall on the lake — and Jesus wakes up, speaks once, and everything goes calm. Then He asks them the question He may be asking you today: where is your faith? Five minutes in Luke 8:22–25 (NLT) with Tina Combs.

Truth received is meant to shine through a life lived. In today's episode, Jesus teaches that no one lights a lamp just to hide it — and that how we listen to God's Word determines how much we understand. Plus: Jesus redefines what it means to be family. Five minutes in Luke 8:16–21 (NLT) with Tina Combs.

 What does the Bible actually say about salvation? Not opinions, not traditions — just Scripture. In today's episode, we walk through the five steps of conversion found throughout the New Testament: hearing the Word, believing, repenting, confessing Jesus to others, and being baptized. Every step is grounded in Scripture, from Romans 10:17 to Acts 2:38 to 1 Peter 3:21. Whether you are a longtime believer who wants to be anchored in this, or someone asking this question for the very first time — this episode is for you. Five minutes in God's Word with Tina Combs.

Jesus told a story about a farmer scattering seed, but He was really telling a story about us. Four types of soil. Four conditions of the heart. And an invitation to ask honestly: what kind of soil am I? The good news is that hard ground can be broken up, and roots can grow deeper than you know. Join Tina Combs for today's 5-minute study in Luke 8:4–15 (NLT).

Saturday is our day to stop, look back, and let the week's Scripture settle deeper. This week, we walked through faith that amazed Jesus, compassion that raised the dead, doubt that was met with evidence, extravagant love born from forgiveness, and women who turned their healing into a mission. Today's reflection question: Where is your faith pointing? Join Tina Combs for the Week 1 Saturday Reflection covering Luke 7:1–8:3 (NLT).

Three verses. A list of names. And a radical truth tucked inside — women who had been healed by Jesus didn't just receive that healing and walk away. They followed. They gave. They served. Today we're reminded that you were not set free to sit still. Join Tina Combs for today's 5-minute study in Luke 8:1–3 (NLT).

Two people were in the same room with Jesus. One had an invitation and gave Him nothing. One had no invitation and gave Him everything. Today's passage asks us a hard question: has grace become ordinary to us? The one who is forgiven much, loves much. Join Tina Combs for today's 5-minute study in Luke 7:36–50 (NLT).

 Even John the Baptist had moments of doubt. Sitting in a prison cell, he sent word to Jesus: are You really the One? And Jesus didn't rebuke him — He pointed him back to the evidence. Today we're reminded that doubt doesn't disqualify you from faith, and that Jesus can handle your honest questions. Join Tina Combs for today's 5-minute study in Luke 7:18–35 (NLT).

Nobody asked. Nobody prayed. Nobody had faith on display. And Jesus still moved.

What does faith that amazes Jesus actually look like? In today's episode, we meet a Roman officer who believed that one word from Jesus was enough — and it was.
