Old Ladies Know Stuff with Rhonda Stoppe & Friends

What would you grab if you had sixty seconds to leave your home forever?
It's a question most of us have never had to answer. We did during the California Wildfires. And Lot's wife did too. And her answer — told not in words but in one devastating backward glance — cost her everything.
Lot's wife had a home. A life. Possessions. A community she had built in Sodom. And when God said go — she couldn't resist one last look at everything she was leaving behind.
And in that one moment of looking back, she was gone.
Now before we shake our heads at Lot's wife — Rhonda wants us to look in the mirror first.
Because if we're honest?
We do it too.
We look back at the comfort we've lost. The life we planned. Things we thought we deserved. Stuff we accumulated can quietly become more important than our obedience to God.
And Rhonda's phrase for this episode will stay with you long after it's over —
"People over possessions."
IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL DISCOVER:
The sobering story of Lot's wife and the one backward glance that changed everything
Why God's command to not look back was about so much more than direction — it was about the condition of her heart
The powerful phrase Rhonda returns to again and again: "People over possessions"
How our attachment to comfort, stuff, and security quietly competes with our obedience to God
The liberating truth that when we choose people over possessions — we gain something no stuff could ever give us
KEY SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:
Genesis 19 — The story of Lot's wife
Luke 17:32 — "Remember Lot's wife" 
Matthew 6:19-21 — "Store up treasures in heaven"

RHONDA'S KEY PHRASE FOR THIS EPISODE: "People over possessions."
Write it on a sticky note. Let it be the filter through which you make decisions this week and always.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
Pull Up a Chair: The Conversation Every Mom Needs to Hear —Rhonda Stoppe &
Deb Weakly Get Real_A Podcast Takeover You Don't Want to Miss
What happens when two women who have spent decades pouring into moms, marriages, and families sit down together and just talk?
You get this episode.
Rhonda Stoppe of Old Ladies Know Stuff and Deb Weakly of Help Club for Moms are taking over each other's podcasts — and the wisdom they serve up in this conversation is the kind you only get from women who have lived it, prayed through it, failed at it, repented of it, and come out the other side still standing — and still deeply in love with Jesus.
In this warm, honest, laugh-out-loud and occasionally tear-jerking conversation, Rhonda and Deb tackle the real stuff — the things moms and wives are thinking about at 2am when they can't sleep:
You'll hear Deb share the single piece of parenting advice that stopped her cold — one look at her daughter's tiny hands that changed everything about how she showed up as a mom.
And you'll both laugh and nod along as these two women remind you that the gray hairs are earned, the lessons are hard-won, and the best is absolutely still ahead.
Because here's what Rhonda and Deb both know to be true:
God chose you — in this moment in history — to raise this generation. And He will not leave you to figure it out alone.
This episode covers the best marriage advice nobody tells you, the danger of making your children your best friend, what Eve's "just a little bit more" moment has to do with your scrolling habits, why stepmoms matter more than they know, the power of Scripture memory at 2am when anxiety won't let you sleep, and why linking arms with other women isn't optional — it's obedience.
Come for the wisdom. Stay for the friendship. Share it with every mom and wife you know.
Because old ladies really do know stuff — and they want to share it with you.

What if the tension in your marriage isn't a sign you married the wrong person — but an invitation to know God more deeply? Dana Che, host of the popular: Rebuilding Us Podcast and author of Tried and True: Marriage Advice from 12 Imperfect Biblical Couples, joins Rhonda to talk about the "long middle" of marriage — that stuck, stalled, going-through-the-motions season so many couples quietly endure. You'll walk away with fresh eyes on why couples drift apart, how contempt silently kills a marriage, and how spiritual intimacy is the missing piece that holds everything else together. Real talk. Real scripture. Real hope.

Are you dealing with someone who's mean-spirited, manipulative, or narcissistic? Have you been praying for something for YEARS and God still hasn't answered? Do you feel stuck, alone, and wondering if God even sees you?
Hannah gets it.
In this powerful episode of Old Ladies Know Stuff, Rhonda Stoppe unpacks the story of Hannah from 1 Samuel 1-2—a woman who faced infertility, a narcissistic rival wife, and years of unanswered prayers. But her story doesn't end in despair—it ends in influence that shaped generations.
In this episode, you'll discover:
✨ How to recognize narcissistic behavior (in family members, friends, spouses, or even yourself) and what to do about it
✨ What to do when spiritual leaders let you down—and why church hurt shouldn't drive you away from God's people
✨ The power of persistent prayer—Hannah never stopped asking God for a child, and her faithfulness changed history
✨ How to find joy even when circumstances are painful—Hannah's secret wasn't her situation; it was her satisfaction in God alone
✨ Why keeping your promises to God matters—even when it doesn't make sense (like Hannah giving Samuel back to Eli, who wasn't exactly father-of-the-year material)
✨ The difference between being a consumer of church and being part of the body—Rhonda gets real about why watching online isn't enough
This episode is for you if:
You're in a relationship with a narcissist and feel trapped
You've been praying for something and God keeps saying "not yet"
Someone in your life is mean, manipulative, or constantly making you feel small
You've been hurt by church leaders and are tempted to walk away
You're waiting for God to answer a prayer and wondering if He even hears you
You need a reminder that your identity isn't in your circumstances—it's in Christ alone
Rhonda gets vulnerable about her own experience living with a narcissistic sister, shares powerful insights about how to set boundaries, and reminds us that faithful motherhood isn't about what we DO for our children—it's about how we lean into God through the journey.
Hannah's story proves that what you're walking through right now isn't wasted. Someone is watching. And your faithfulness in the hard seasons will become a legacy that outlasts you.
Listen now and let Hannah's story of persistent prayer, unshakable joy, and patient waiting inspire you to keep trusting God—even when life feels unfair.

Have you ever whispered to yourself at night, "I'll be a better mom tomorrow"—but tomorrow never comes?
Maybe you're carrying guilt from your past. Decisions you regret. Sins you're ashamed of. Things you wish you could go back and undo.
And you wonder: Can God really use someone like me?
In this powerful episode of Old Ladies Know Stuff, Rhonda Stoppe introduces Chapter 1 of her new book Moms of the Bible: Life-Changing Lessons from the Fearless, Flawed and Faithful by unpacking the incredible story of Rahab the prostitute—a woman with the shadiest past imaginable who became part of Jesus' family line.
In this episode, you'll discover:
✨ Why Rahab is called "the harlot" throughout Scripture—and what that means for moms who feel defined by their past
✨ How a prostitute became a hero of the faith mentioned in Hebrews 11 and the lineage of King David and Jesus
✨ The woman at the well's story—why Jesus went out of His way to meet her in her shame and how He turned her into the first evangelist
✨ What "though your sins are as scarlet, He will wash them white as snow" actually means for your motherhood today
✨ Why Satan wants you to stay stuck in shame—and how to break free from regrets that hold you back
✨ How God uses "shady ladies" to raise world-changers—proving that your past doesn't disqualify you from faithful motherhood
This episode is for you if:
You're carrying shame from past sins and wonder if God can still use you
You've made decisions you deeply regret and feel disqualified from being a "good mom"
You're struggling with the lie that you're not worthy of God's calling
You need to know that redemption is real—and available to YOU today
Rhonda vulnerably shares why she would have been the woman at the well without Jesus, and how studying these biblical "shady ladies" gave her hope that no matter what your past looks like, God's grace is bigger.
Here's the truth: Romans 5:8 says God showed His love for us while we were still sinners. You don't have to clean yourself up first. Jesus meets you in your mess and washes you clean.
Your past doesn't define you. Your Savior does.
Listen now and discover the fearless faith that cleanses all sin and shame.
