190. How to Hear God for Yourself Through His Word: A Borrowed Bible Transformed an Atheist into a Woman of Faith (ft. Mariel Davenport)

By Words: Honest Faith Conversations for Christian Women

Have you ever wondered if you can really hear God’s voice for yourself? In today’s conversation with Bible teacher and author Mariel Davenport, you’ll be encouraged to know that you can, and it starts with opening God’s Word.

Mariel shares her powerful testimony of moving from atheism to faith after reading a borrowed Bible, and how God’s Word completely transformed her life. We talk about what it looks like to engage Scripture in a way that’s personal, approachable, and deeply transformative.

Mariel walks us through her TEND method — a simple, garden-inspired framework that helps women engage more deeply with the Word of God. If you’ve ever felt dry in your faith, unmotivated to pick up your Bible, or unsure of how to really connect with what you’re reading, this episode will give you fresh hope and practical steps forward.

God’s Word isn’t distant or complicated. It’s living, active, and available to you right now (Hebrews 4:12).
