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!

Episode 36: Safety Dance!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode Cyndi and Jen discuss the ever increasing desire to do the "Safety Dance!" As Christians how do we evaluate risk and is God opposed to it? The Big Fat Word of the Week is Providence and we discuss Proverbs 3 and the wisdom God gifts us with that truly keeps us safe for Do You Understand What You are Reading. Then we dive into a pretty full on discussion surrounding our governments increased presence in keeping us safe and what the Bible has to say about how we respond to risk. Risk in sharing the gospel, risk in going abroad to dangerous places to be missionaries, engaging in a life that can sometime be dangerous while understanding God's providential hand in it. You might not agree with everything we have to say in this episode, and even though there is no safe space provided, we're sure you'll be just fine! Thanks for listening and read your Bible! <3
