2 Samuel 11–12; 1 Kings 3; 6–9; 11, Hear Thou in Heaven Their Prayer

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire explore pivotal moments from the lives of David, Bathsheba, and Solomon, focusing on the condition of the heart and the reality that even faithful people can drift when they stop intentionally turning toward God. Through stories of repentance, wisdom, temple worship, and personal failure, they reflect on what it means to remain devoted to God throughout every season of life. The conversation highlights Bathsheba’s story with compassion and hope, reminding listeners that God sees women whose lives are complicated by loss, disappointment, sin, or circumstances beyond their control. Though Bathsheba’s story includes tragedy and pain, it does not end there. Tess and Becky emphasize that God was not finished with her, and He is not finished with us. They also discuss how David and Solomon, despite their extraordinary spiritual experiences, demonstrate that past faithfulness never replaces the need for daily discipleship. As they explore Solomon’s temple and eventual downfall, the discussion turns to the battle for the heart. What we give our attention, affection, and devotion to ultimately shapes who we become. This episode encourages listeners to continually return to God, build lives centered on covenant relationships, and remember that His grace is always available to those who keep turning back toward Him. 00:00 INTRO 01:29 David and Bathsheba 02:48 Nathan Confronts David 03:17 Repentance and Consequences 03:34 Solomon Becomes King 04:08 The Wisdom of Solomon 05:01 Building and Dedicating the Temple 05:51 The Queen of Sheba 08:00 Solomon’s Downfall Begins 09:20 Modern-Day Idolatry 10:19 Wisdom Does Not Guarantee Faithfulness 11:24 The Lord Looketh on the Heart 12:12 Hearts Drift Before Actions Do 13:44 Past Spiritual Experiences Are Not Enough 14:26 Bathsheba and Feeling Invisible 15:34 God Sees Women with Complicated Stories 16:28 Bathsheba’s Story Is Not Defined by Tragedy 17:17 Teaching Children About Temptation 19:36 What Has Your Heart? 20:32 The Lord Invites Us to Return 20:49 Building a Cathedral Within 22:23 David and Solomon’s Deep Relationship with God 25:15 God Transforms Imperfect People Through Grace #CertainWomenPodcast #ComeFollowMe #DavidAndBathsheba #Solomon #WomenInTheScriptures #LatterDaySaintWomen #FaithInChrist #WomenOfFaith #SpiritualGrowth Follow us here:   / beckysquire     / tesiahframe     / certainwomenpodcast
