      <itunes:summary>In this special episode of the Significant Women podcast, Carol McLeod turns our hearts back to the true meaning of the Christmas season. She reminds us that long before Mary, Joseph, or Bethlehem, God already had a plan—and His plan was Jesus. Drawing from Luke 1, Carol reflects on Mary’s visit to Elizabeth and the moment baby John leapt in the womb at the presence of Christ. That explosive joy becomes a picture for us today: when Jesus enters the room, joy follows.

Carol explores the difference between happiness and joy, teaching that joy is not found in gifts, celebrations, or traditions—it is found only in the presence of Jesus. She encourages listeners to seek Him through Scripture, worship, and prayer this Christmas, making room for the joy of heaven to fill their lives.

With warmth, humor, and biblical insight, Carol invites listeners to respond to Jesus with their own “John jump”—a heart overflowing with joy because the Savior has come. The episode closes with prayer, a reminder of the ministry’s mission, and an encouragement to focus on the heart of Christmas: Jesus Himself.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Overcoming Fear, Poverty, and Self Doubt with Mary Marantz</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <i>Significant Women</i>, I have the great joy of welcoming Mary Marantz, a gifted author, speaker, and host of <i>The Mary Marantz Show</i>. Mary’s story is both tender and powerful—a testimony of healing, courage, and transformation. Together, we talk about what it means to break free from generational pain, let go of perfectionism, and begin the long, faithful journey of becoming who God created us to be.</p><p>Mary shares rich insight from her new book <i>Underestimated</i>, a message for every woman who has questioned her voice, her strength, or her ability to make a meaningful impact. Our conversation explores the process of healing from the inside out, recognizing fear for the liar it is, and learning to trust yourself as a vessel for the work God has entrusted to you.</p><p>This episode will meet you in your hidden places and help you start again—with grace, with faith, and with a deeper sense of purpose.</p><p><strong>In this episode, we discuss:</strong></p><ul><li>Healing from decades of limiting beliefs and deep-rooted fear</li><li>The myth that “more” will lead to our downfall</li><li>Generational patterns and where the chain breaks</li><li>The link between perfectionism and fear</li><li>How self-sabotage keeps us in cycles of playing small</li><li>Why consistency is more powerful than excellence alone</li><li>Reparenting yourself as an adult and learning to feel safe</li><li>Understanding the Parable of the Talents as a call to trust</li><li>How to stop delaying obedience while waiting for “permission”</li><li>Embracing your God-given gifts and using them with courage</li></ul><p><strong>Scripture Themes:</strong></p><ul><li>Matthew 25:14–30 — The Parable of the Talents</li><li>The calling to be faithful with what you’ve been given</li><li>The importance of small, daily obedience in spiritual growth</li><li>Trusting that if God gave it to you, He intends for you to use it</li></ul><p><strong>Mary’s Books Mentioned:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://amzn.to/46mtUYj" target="_blank"><i>Dirt</i> </a>— A memoir about returning home and making peace with your past</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/46zm3GC" target="_blank"><i>Slow Growth Equals Strong Roots</i></a> — A guide for those tired of hustle, who long to grow at a soul-deep level</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/4eH8uqV" target="_blank"><i>Underestimated</i> </a>— A book for every woman who feels overlooked, underqualified, or unsure of her place in God’s plan</li></ul><p><strong>Quotes to Remember:</strong></p><p>“We are doing the heavy lifting of breaking generational chains.

You were asked to be faithful.”</p><p>“When we hide our gifts, we forfeit the good work that was prepared in advance for us.”</p><p>“Fear is not creative. It’s repetitive. The lies don’t change. But neither does the truth.”</p><p><strong>Carol’s Challenge to Listeners:</strong><br />Start small. Ask yourself: What one thing can I do today to become more of the woman I long to be? Maybe it's a simple decision. Maybe it’s a single act of obedience. But begin there. Because your story matters, and the small things are never small when done with God.</p><p><strong>Mary’s Final Prayer:</strong><br />Mary closes the episode with a beautiful and vulnerable prayer over every woman listening. She prays that you would grow weary of fear, stop giving weight to old lies, and begin trusting the God who planted gifts in you before the foundation of the world. She reminds us that showing up matters more than being perfect—and that hiding your voice serves no one.</p><p><strong>Where to Find Mary Marantz:</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.marymarantz.com">www.marymarantz.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/marymarantz">@marymarantz</a></p><p>Podcast: <i>The Mary Marantz Show</i></p><p>Books: Available wherever books are sold</p><p><strong>Listen and Subscribe:</strong><br />If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing and leaving a review.

      <title>Unsung Hero with Helen Smallbone (ReRun)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>When David Smallbone’s successful music company collapsed, he moved his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future.

Her remarkable story is going to encourage you today how important a mother’s faith is in the face of all odds.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In Entrusted to Lead, Pastor Donna Pisani draws on over four decades of experience to offer a biblical perspective of women in leadership that considers their role an entrusted assignment rather than just an entitled position.  Generations of confusion have kept women from answering God’s call to lead, depriving God’s kingdom of crucial gifts and abilities. Entrusted to Lead shows women what it looks like to lead with confidence in the workplace and in ministry—and why Jesus always wanted women to have a seat at the table.<br /><br />Listen in for another wonderful conversation with Carol McLeod!<br /><br />Connect with Donna and order her new book at <a href="https://www.donnapisani.org/" target="_blank">https://www.donnapisani.org/</a></p>

      <title>Sharing Family Stories and Inspiration with Johanna Janssen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Carol McLeod welcomes a new friend to today’s episode of the Significant Women Podcast! Johanna Janssen was born in southern Ontario among rolling vineyards, fragrant orchards and strawberry patches, where in winter, the sunlight glints off the snow. Before this, her parents left the shores of the Netherlands, boarded the S.S. Waterman with three young children for Halifax harbor, leaving family, friends and most of their belongings behind.<br /><br />Johanna, now a retired nurse, writes inspirational fiction that fights for joy in the dark pages of history. The passing down of faith, of core values, throughout the generations and how that looks through fiction, inspires her work, which is loosely based on her parents’ journey through WW2 that eventually led them to Canada. The faith those early settlers took with them across the waters to the new land is what kept them. That same faith now inspires Johanna’s writing.<br /><br />Connect with Johanna at <a href="https://johannajanssen.com/" target="_blank">https://johannajanssen.com/</a></p>

      <title>Letting God Use Our Sacred Scars with Dr. Michelle Bengtson</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On today’s show, Carol welcomes back another dear friend, Dr. Michelle Bengtson! Michelle is a certified  neuropsychologist who lives to break the grip of anxiety and fear, foster regeneration, and renew life in her readers and listeners. From her own personal cancer experience and professional clinical expertise she recognizes in her life and others’ both the brokenness that attends life, and the concrete steps we can take as we walk with Christ. Dr. Bengtson’s newest book is titled Sacred Scars, and is an exploration of the encouraging truth that past pain and brokenness can serve as preparation for what God wants to do in and through his children if we’ll only surrender to and trust in him.<br /><br />Just as Jesus's scars didn't disappear after his resurrection, our scars tell our story and lend credence to our testimony of the love and power of God. If you are ready to turn your past pain into present comfort and future hope, let Dr. Bengtson be your compassionate guide.<br /><br />Connect with Michelle and order Sacred Scars at <a href="https://drmichellebengtson.com/" target="_blank">https://drmichellebengtson.com/</a></p>

      <title>Beautiful Freedom with Stacy Reaoch</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Damaging and unhealthy messages about body image bombard us on a daily basis. Turn on the tv, scroll on your phone, or see a magazine cover in the grocery store, and you will be confronted with the latest fad diet, the newest way to drop 10 pounds, and the miracle cream that will make you look ten years younger. As a Christian, you might wonder, does God actually care how I eat? Or if I exercise? My guest today is Stacy Reaoch, author of the new book, Beautiful Freedom: How the Bible Shapes Your View of Appearance, Food and Fitness. Her fresh take on stewarding our bodies as a gift from God might change your perspective on health and wellness. Let’s lean in and listen.</p>

      <title>Renew Your Mind and Transform Your Life with Dr. Alan Weissenbacher</title>

It’s a simple, powerful capability we can harness to convert harmful thoughts and behaviors into helpful ones, allowing us to shape and reshape who we are and who we can become.

      <title>The Song of Sourwood Mountain with Ann H. Gabhart</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jesus loved to use stories to communicate Biblical truth, and I think that’s one of the reasons I love Christian historical fiction authors so much. We can learn about God and ourselves through the stories they create. We can be transported to different times and different places, and we can see ourselves and God’s redemptive plan across time. My guest today, Ann Gabhart, is a best-selling author who has been creating memorable stories for over twenty years, and her latest book, The Song of Sourwood Mountain, takes us to the dawn of the twentieth century in Eastern Kentucky with the story of Mira. Her story reminds us all of the unexpected blessings that can come when we dare to give up control of our lives to God. Lean in and listen as we get to know Ann Gabhart and the heart of her latest book. </p>

      <title>From Trauma to Wholeness with Sarah &amp; Isabel Bowling</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Trauma and triggers have become buzz words in recent years and they are sometimes used to describe something that makes us uncomfortable, something that is somewhat cringe-worthy, or even something that’s just a generally negative experience. But something that is truly traumatic is something that rewires your brain and moving forward, your instincts and your outlook are altered as a result of it. Regardless of your upbringing, socio-economic status, education, family background, or religious beliefs, we have all experienced trauma. It creeps and seeps into our lives, affecting our outlook, relationships, priorities, and choices.</p><p>My guests today are mother/daughter duo Sarah & Isabel Bowling, and their new book, “<a href="https://amzn.to/3Vbtg9Q">Road to Wholeness: Healing from Trauma</a>,” is a unique look at the parable of the Good Samaritan through the lens of trauma. It will give you insight for healing from the trauma of your own story, as well as how to love and interact with others’ as they navigate their own journey of healing. Thankfully, Jesus can help us to transform trauma so it isn’t transferred, causing ripple effects of damage and hurt.</p><p>Connect with Sarah Bowling at <a href="https://sarahbowling.org/">https://sarahbowling.org/</a></p>

      <itunes:summary>Trauma and triggers have become buzz words in recent years and they are sometimes used to describe something that makes us uncomfortable, something that is somewhat cringe-worthy, or even something that’s just a generally negative experience. But something that is truly traumatic is something that rewires your brain and moving forward, your instincts and your outlook are altered as a result of it. Regardless of your upbringing, socio-economic status, education, family background, or religious beliefs, we have all experienced trauma. It creeps and seeps into our lives, affecting our outlook, relationships, priorities, and choices.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Taking the Leap with Rachel Scott</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many people long to find greater fulfillment in life but don’t know how to move from beyond their current circumstances to their God-ordained calling. Without faith and direction, fear and uncertainty can hold us back from surrendering our desires, and fully trusting God to live boldly in His calling for our lives. My guest today is Bible teacher, podcaster, and mentor Rachel G. Scott who’s going to share with us the five types of leaps we all have to take to propel ourselves into fulfilling God’s destiny for us. I highly encourage you to grab her latest book “Taking the 5 Leaps” on Amazon (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmxZd3FIS3ctNFRVcDhsZHR3SzY4ajNJZWpuZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttaExPMmtobmRZOVpUclJLSlRuek1KMmszVTJzWTdCYkRiRkszbE1TRWFaN1RlY0tVMnhpYlFrMFFpcnVQTlplb1BhdXgzVlcteWJ4c1RpOUtRanhWUzMwaFFlcENGX0NhZkpIbk81TFV1N2FSZTRZWQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F4b36tCu&v=4fvkw8u5lVA" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/4b36tCu</a>) or wherever great books are sold. </p><p>Connect with Rachel Scott at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEZfcDhSODZFZFhwS1BtcDh5SG1aVklUUG1zd3xBQ3Jtc0tuZVJiczhROGpxQkY3b2xlRW8ybjJydmFOMklqMS1OWU9kbFpBRzJ1YWMzYzZURDQwVDdKeFJoVC1CU3BnbzRSNXJzN2V0M3lzMExONGhEMTlpV1NMWTVNT0RhVml1THUwdTZMaXVQMXRESTR1R0pMSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Frachelgscott.com%2F&v=4fvkw8u5lVA" target="_blank">https://rachelgscott.com/</a> </p>

      <title>Unsung Hero with Helen Smallboone</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>When David Smallbone’s successful music company collapsed, he moved his family from Australia to the United States in search of a brighter future. With nothing more than their six children, their suitcases, and their love of music, David and his pregnant wife Helen set out to rebuild their lives from the ground up. My guest today is Helen Smallbone…you might know her better as the mom of Grammy-winning Rebecca St. James and For King and Country’s Luke and Joel Smallbone. Her remarkable story is going to encourage you today how important a mother’s faith is in the face of all odds. Lean in and listen as you get to know this incredible mama, who’s story is the basis for the upcoming film, Unsung Hero.</p><p>Connect with Helen Smallbone on Facebook at @mumlifecommunity</p><p>The Significant Women podcast is full of personal stories, dynamic hope, and sage wisdom from women who have gleaned all that they can from the ordinary days of an uncommon life.

      <title>From Chick-fil-A to Missions with Jason and Haley Bilotti</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many of us have felt that call from God, asking us to step out of the boat, to do something significant. Jason and Haley Bilotti felt it—for years.

      <itunes:summary>Ever feel worn, useless, and too broken to belong anywhere but the landfill? Just as chippy cast-offs gain worth as vintage décor, the imperfect pieces of our lives hold incredible potential. My guest Tina Yeager invites us to discover how God reinvents rusty and flawed folks like us into cherished masterpieces who glorify him daily. Her latest book, Upcycled: Crafted for a Purpose, takes you on an interactive journey where each chapter includes a gift or décor project to illustrate the ways the Great Artist remakes us to serve a beautiful purpose. The projects will serve as tangible reminders and opportunities to share hope of renewal with the world.

      <itunes:summary>Join Carol today for an encouraging conversation with  Alisha Plummer, emergency department physician assistant and author. A self-described &quot;perpetual Christian single,&quot; she is also a church leader in women&apos;s and children&apos;s ministries. Alisha recently released her first book: Confessions of a Christian Spinster: Finding Purpose in a Perplexed and Paired-Up Church. Being single in today&apos;s church often feels like a waiting game. You&apos;re put on hold in ministry, service, even spiritual growth until you say &quot;I do,&quot; and you&apos;re either pitied or not seen at all. Unlike today&apos;s church, God is not mystified by the presence of unmarried Christ-followers in the pews. In fact, he has masterful plans for those without a ring on their finger. Alisha Plummer points out how God is eager to empower them with purpose and passion!

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Join Carol McLeod today for an exciting conversation with prolific author and speaker Pam Farrel! Along with her husband Bill, Pam authored the best-seller <i>Men Are Like Waffles, Women Are Like Spaghetti</i>, and has authored or co-authored over 50 books, like her latest: <i>Discovering Good News in John: A Creative Devotional Study Experience.</i> Two phrases sum up Pam’s approach to life: ‘Choosing Joy!’ and ‘One ordinary woman connected to the extra-ordinary God can make a difference!’ These sayings captured Pam’s heart because they sum up her experience. “I am the first-born daughter of an alcoholic father with severe rage issues. I often thought our family would make the headlines but for all the wrong reasons. When I was 8 years-old, however, a family friend saw the chaos we were living in and invited us to attend church with her. There I saw what real love looked like.” Having discovered peace and focus in her life, she is motivated to help women everywhere uncover their potential through a life of confidence and courage.</p><p><br /> </p><p>Connect with Pam and her work at <a href="https://www.love-wise.com/">https://www.love-wise.com/</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>“Significant Women” is a weekly podcast for women to gather with their personal stories, dynamic hope and wisdom gleaned from the ordinary days of an uncommon life.

      <title>Seeking the Truth with Alisa Childers</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Join Carol McLeod today for an inspiring and thought-provoking interview with author and former recording artist and member of ZOEgirl, Alisa Childers. As a lifelong church-goer and follower of Jesus, Alisa experienced a period of profound doubt about her faith in her mid-thirties. She felt as though she had been tossed in a stormy ocean of uncertainty with no life jacket or lifeboat in sight. At that point Alisa began her  journey from unreasoned doubt into a vibrant, rational, and informed faith. Whether you’re a seeker, a doubting Christian, or a strong Christian wanting to become better at articulating your faith, Alisa’s prayer is that her ministry and writing will be a lifeboat for you as you ask the tough questions together. Alisa’s new book ‘Live Your Truth and Other Lies’ is out now!</p><p><br /> </p><p>Connect with Alisa: <a href="https://alisachilders.com/">https://alisachilders.com/</a></p><p><br /> </p><p>“Significant Women” is a weekly podcast for women to gather with their personal stories, dynamic hope and wisdom gleaned from the ordinary days of an uncommon life.

      <itunes:summary>Join Carol McLeod for an inspiring interview with speaker and author Jessie Seneca! While in the midst of battling a life-threatening case of Cushings Syndrome, Jessie Seneca felt God calling her into a speaking ministry in 1996 at a “Women of Faith” event. At the time of her illness, it was hard to understand God’s will in it all, and even when she felt God’s call, she didn’t know what it was going to look like. But through years of preparation, and many encouraging individuals, she today enjoys the fruit of her obedience to God through full-time ministry. Jessie is the founder of ‘More of Him Ministries’ and ‘SHE Leads,’ as well as the author of 10 books.</itunes:summary>

Cyndi was a successful business manager, working in product and sales and marketing management, and a new mom when necrotizing fasciitis (otherwise known as flesh eating disease) entered her life, and altered it forever.  She awoke after five weeks of battling this disease, to find her hands and feet had been amputated in an effort to save her life. As she grappled with the challenges of an unknown future, Cyndi was left with a question; Why did God allow this to happen to her? And furthermore, could she ever be whole again?</itunes:summary>

      <title>Joyfully Reading the Bible with Tara-Leigh Cobble</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Join Carol McLeod today for an inspiring interview with Tara-Leigh Cobble! Tara-Leigh is the the host of a daily podcast called the Bible Recap, which aims to keep people connected to reading the Bible when they're tempted to quit for lack of understanding. Despite an early introduction to Christianity, Tara-Leigh says she wasted years coasting on second-hand information learned from others. In 2008, through the gentle encouragement of a friend, she read all the way through the Bible for the first time. That changed everything, awakening a recognition of her need to have others walking closely alongside her in her pursuit of God -- people to hold her accountable for scripture memory and Bible reading and all the things that were bringing her so much newfound joy! Tune in to hear her story of discovering the greatness of God through His word.

      <description><![CDATA[Season Two | Episode 14 - Interview with Danielle Stoltz

Welcome to “Significant Women”! This is a podcast that is focused on bringing out the very best in women in all walks of life, in all seasons of life and in all aspects of life. Today I will be having a conversation with my friend, Danielle Stoltz. Danielle and I have known each other for nearly a decade and I have watched the fruit of her life and the power of her testimony make a difference everywhere she goes. Danielle and I are having a tender conversation today … it’s a conversation about the racial divide that has caused so much pain in America today. I don’t know about you … but I want to do better. I want to love like Jesus loved and be very sensitive to the pain and to the hearts of those whose skin may have a different hue than mine does.

      <description><![CDATA[Season Two | Episode 8 -  Interview with Ginny Dent Brant

Welcome to “Significant Women”! This is a podcast that is focused on bringing out the very best in women in all walks of life, in all seasons of life and in all aspects of life. In today’s episode, we’re talking with my college friend Ginny Dent Brant! Ginny and I became fast friends that summer of 1975 and I was fascinated by her story. Ginny’s father, Harry Dent, was one of the most powerful men in Washington, D. C. and was on the staff of President Nixon during the Watergate years. Ginny’s family was devastated by the fall out of Watergate but it was her faith that kept her strong in the face of trauma and disappointment. You are going to love hearing how the prayers of Ginny’s young heart actually saved her family!

On today’s episode of Significant Woman, you are going to meet a true warrior of the faith. Dr. Barbara Lowe has lived a life of great pain and yet one of great purpose. As a child, she was abused and rejected but because of Jesus, her life now smacks of a resiliency and joy that takes my breath away. Every time that I talk to Dr. Barbara, I am challenged. I am challenged to lay aside old layers of pain and to walk defiantly into the life that God has for me today. I am also challenged to love Jesus more … and isn’t that what living a significant life is really all about at its core?

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to “Significant Women”! This is a podcast that is focused on bringing out the very best in women in all walks of life, in all seasons of life and in all aspects of life. On today’s podcast, I get to share this rare and lovely friend with all of you. Amy Groeschel is a pastor’s wife, a homeschool mom to six amazing kids, a grandmother and a prayer warrior. The first time that I had lunch with Amy, I knew that I had met a woman whose heart was absolutely pure gold.

This is a podcast that is focused on bringing out the very best in women in all walks of life, in all seasons of life and in all aspects of life. On today’s podcast, I get to share this rare and lovely friend with all of you. Amy Groeschel is a pastor’s wife, a homeschool mom to six amazing kids, a grandmother and a prayer warrior. The first time that I had lunch with Amy, I knew that I had met a woman whose heart was absolutely pure gold. I believe that Amy Groeschel is one of the most significant women of our generation — not because of who she is married to or because of her prominence in the Body of Christ but because of the choices that she has made to serve Christ wholeheartedly and unconditionally.</itunes:subtitle>

      <description><![CDATA[Episode 9 - Overcoming Stress
This week, we are going to talk about stress. Stress is one of those invaders in a woman’s life that can bully her and then deplete her supply of vital necessities in life like joy and peace. I do believe that it is a possible to live a stress-free life when you follow the principles found in the eternal, never-changing but always relevant Word of God! Have a prayer request or feedback?
