The Proverbs 31 Ministries Podcast

Proverbs 31 Ministries has been around since 1992, founded by Lysa TerKeurst, and the podcast carries that same mission into audio: meeting women where they actually are, not where they think they should be. Hosts Kaley Olson and Meredith Brock lead each episode with a practical, Scripture-grounded approach to the messy parts of life -- anxiety, grief, broken relationships, the gap between knowing what you believe and living it out. The show has over 200 episodes and a 4.7 rating from more than 4,600 reviews on Apple Podcasts. Episodes release twice a week and typically run 20 to 40 minutes, making them easy to fit into a lunch break or a school pickup line. Lysa TerKeurst herself appears regularly as a teacher, bringing the same candid, no-pretense style that made her books like Uninvited and It's Not Supposed to Be This Way into bestsellers. The guest roster is strong. Max Lucado has come on to talk about trust. Dr. Joel Muddamalle brings biblical scholarship to topics that could easily stay surface-level. Wendy Blight and other ministry staff contribute teachings rooted in specific passages. What keeps this from feeling like a lecture series is the hosts' willingness to share their own struggles alongside the teaching. They admit when something is hard, and that honesty makes the biblical application feel earned rather than tacked on. The podcast sits at the intersection of mental health and faith in a way that feels responsible. They talk about thought patterns, prayer as a practice rather than a performance, and forgiveness as a process. It is not therapy and does not pretend to be, but it takes emotional health seriously. For women looking for biblical teaching that actually touches the ground they walk on every day, this ministry has been doing it longer than most and shows no signs of slowing down.
