In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire continue their study of Isaiah, focusing on chapters 50–57 and the Come, Follow Me theme, “He Hath Borne Our Griefs and Carried Our Sorrows.” These chapters center deeply on Jesus Christ as the suffering servant who willingly obeys, suffers, and ultimately redeems His people. Isaiah’s words point to Christ as the one who was “wounded for our transgressions,” carried our griefs and sorrows, and made healing possible through His Atonement.The conversation explores Isaiah 53 and the imagery of Christ as the sacrificial lamb, connecting His suffering to ancient Israel’s understanding of sacrifice and the temple. Tess and Becky also discuss Zion’s restoration, God’s everlasting covenant of peace, the invitation to “come ye to the waters,” and the promise that salvation is open to all who come to the Lord. These chapters show a Savior who carries more than our sins - He understands grief, sorrow, pain, disappointment, and every unfair experience of mortality.For women today, the episode offers several powerful reminders. A difficult season does not define your identity, repentance allows you to move beyond the shame of who you used to be, and Jesus Christ already carries the responsibility of being the Savior. Women can love, teach, minister, pray, testify, and set boundaries while trusting Christ to do the redeeming. Isaiah’s invitation to “enlarge the place of thy tent” becomes a reminder that there may be far more growth, healing, and possibility ahead than we can currently see.Follow us here:https://instagram.com/beckysquirehttps://instagram.com/tesiahframehttps://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast

In this special episode, Becky Squire and Tess Frame step away from the usual Come, Follow Me format to talk about General Conference. They share practical ways to prepare spiritually and at home, including praying for personal revelation, writing down questions beforehand, attending the temple, fasting with purpose, revisiting recent prophetic counsel, and committing to act on the impressions you receive. One reminder they emphasize is to write down what the Spirit teaches you, not only what you hear from the speakers.They also share a range of General Conference predictions and themes based on trends they have noticed, while clearly stating that they have no insider information. Their discussion includes possible missionary updates, the Salt Lake Temple open house, greater emphasis on the Book of Mormon, more discussion around AI and social media, and continued messages about Jesus Christ, discipleship, becoming rather than simply doing, and peacemaking. They also reflect on how Church announcements may increasingly happen throughout the year rather than being saved for conference itself.The conversation also turns toward women and men in the Church, personal righteousness, leadership, and the importance of shaping our lives around doctrine rather than reshaping doctrine around our preferences. Becky and Tess end by looking forward to hearing from Church leaders, inviting listeners to prepare intentionally, listen for personal revelation, and share their own General Conference predictions.Follow us here:https://instagram.com/beckysquirehttps://instagram.com/tesiahframehttps://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast

In this episode, Becky Squire and Tess Frame continue their study of Isaiah, focusing on chapters 40–49 and the Come, Follow Me theme, “Comfort Ye My People.” These chapters speak directly to fear, weakness, suffering, loneliness, refinement, and salvation, while repeatedly returning to the comfort and strength found in Jesus Christ. Isaiah reminds us that God gathers His people, carries them like a shepherd, renews the strength of those who wait upon Him, and stays with us through the waters and fires of mortality.The conversation highlights several deeply personal promises from Isaiah: “Fear thou not, for I am with thee,” “I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine,” and “I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.” Becky shares how that final verse became especially meaningful to her after experiencing a miscarriage, reminding her that Christ’s wounds testify of what He has done not only for everyone, but for each individual person. Tess and Becky also discuss idolatry, the peace found in obeying God’s commandments, and the image of the “furnace of affliction” as part of God’s refining work in our lives.Throughout these chapters, the message is consistent: God’s people may experience difficult seasons, but they are never abandoned in them. Trials can refine, purify, and shape us, while Christ continues to hold us through the process. Isaiah’s words offer comfort for anyone who feels forgotten, overwhelmed, or weary, with the assurance that the Lord knows us personally, calls us by name, and will never forsake us.Follow us here:https://instagram.com/beckysquirehttps://instagram.com/tesiahframehttps://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast

In this episode, Tess Frame and Becky Squire continue their study of Isaiah, focusing on chapters 13–35 and the Come, Follow Me theme, “A Marvelous Work and a Wonder.” These chapters move through judgment, scattering, restoration, covenant, resurrection, and the latter-day gathering of Israel. Again and again, Isaiah shows that worldly power, pride, wealth, and human wisdom eventually fail, while Jesus Christ remains the sure foundation that can carry us through everything else.The conversation highlights some of Isaiah’s most hopeful prophecies, including the Lord swallowing up death in victory, keeping His people in perfect peace, gathering scattered Israel, and laying in Zion “a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.” Tess and Becky also explore Isaiah 29 and its connection to the Restoration, the Book of Mormon, and God’s “marvelous work and a wonder.” The message is bigger than the coming forth of scripture alone. It is about God restoring revelation, gathering His people, opening spiritual eyes, and bringing them back to Him.They also connect these chapters to women today by discussing hard seasons, healing, comparison, revelation, and God’s awareness of the vulnerable. Trials can have purpose, broken things can be restored, and spiritual growth happens “line upon line, precept upon precept.” The episode offers a reminder that Christ heals what feels broken, guides His people one step at a time, and remains the foundation when every other source of security falls away.Follow us here:https://instagram.com/beckysquirehttps://instagram.com/tesiahframehttps://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast

In this episode, Becky Squire and Tess Frame begin their study of Isaiah, focusing on chapters 1–12 and why Isaiah matters so much throughout scripture. Isaiah is quoted extensively by Jesus Christ, Book of Mormon prophets, and New Testament writers, yet his poetry, symbolism, shifting speakers, and layered prophecies can make him difficult to understand. Tess and Becky offer practical ways to approach Isaiah, including using study resources while still relying on the Spirit to understand what these prophecies teach about Jesus Christ.The conversation highlights several major themes in these opening chapters: repentance, covenant renewal, Zion, the temple, the gathering of Israel, and the coming Messiah. Isaiah’s promise that sins “as scarlet” can become “white as snow” points directly to the Atonement of Jesus Christ, while his prophecies of Immanuel and the child who would be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace reveal Christ with remarkable clarity. Tess and Becky also reflect on how Isaiah warns against pride, injustice, and outward appearances while repeatedly calling God’s people back to trust, humility, and changed hearts.They also look closely at women and feminine imagery throughout Isaiah. From the women of Jerusalem to Zion personified as a woman, Mary in the prophecy of Christ’s birth, and Isaiah’s wife being called “the prophetess,” women are woven throughout these chapters in meaningful ways. The episode encourages listeners to read Isaiah patiently, look for Jesus Christ in every passage, and remember that these prophecies were written not only for ancient Israel, but also for disciples living in the latter days.00:00 INTRO00:52 Beginning the Study of Isaiah02:15 Who Is Isaiah and Why Does He Matter?03:31 A Helpful Isaiah Study Resource04:30 Why Isaiah Can Be Hard to Understand07:30 Isaiah’s Importance Throughout Scripture08:00 Poetry, Symbolism, and Layered Prophecy09:39 Historical Context of Isaiah10:26 Overview of Isaiah 1–1211:46 Though Your Sins Be as Scarlet12:58 Women in Isaiah13:12 Vanity, Wealth, and Outward Glory14:10 Zion Personified as a Woman15:17 Mary and Isaiah’s Prophetess17:05 Repentance and a Changed Heart18:29 The Gathering of Israel and the Latter Days20:03 Pride, Injustice, and Caring for the Vulnerable23:42 Judgment, Purification, and Restoration25:18 The Lord’s Vineyard and Good Fruit26:16 The Lord as Our Refuge27:02 For Unto Us a Child Is Born29:06 Finding Jesus Christ in Isaiah#CertainWomenPodcast #ComeFollowMe #Isaiah #JesusChrist #WomenInTheScriptures #LatterDaySaintWomen #FaithInChrist #GatheringOfIsrael #SpiritualGrowthFollow us here:https://instagram.com/beckysquirehttps://instagram.com/tesiahframehttps://instagram.com/certainwomenpodcast
