Friends In The Word
Friends In The Word is a Christian podcast where two friends open the Bible together and help each other and their listeners, apply God’s Word to everyday life.
Hosted by Cyndi Weeks and Jen Pam, each episode blends biblical teaching, theological depth, and real-life application in a way that seeks to be practical and stirring.
With recurring segments like “Big Fat Word of the Week” (breaking down rich theological terms like aseity, effectual calling, and depravity) and “Do You Understand What You’re Reading?”, the podcast equips listeners to grow in biblical literacy, think deeply about Scripture, and live faithfully in a modern world.
You’ll hear honest conversations about topics like:
• Christian living in a Romans 1 culture
• Evangelism and everyday faithfulness
• Sin, sanctification, and spiritual growth
• Biblical womanhood and godliness
• Encouragement, friendship, and church life
Whether you’re a seasoned believer or just starting to read your Bible, Friends In The Word invites you to slow down, open your Bible, and think deeply about what God has said, together.
If you love theology, Bible study podcasts, Christian discipleship, and practical application of Scripture, this podcast is for you!
