Do you enjoy listening to podcasts? Podcasts continue to grow in popularity, and I am often asked to recommend some of the best Christian podcasts for women. But I have a secret for you: I don’t listen to podcasts. What? I know. I know. I can’t write with background noise (talking, TV, or music), so I can’t listen while working. I find that I enjoy listening to Christian music more than I enjoy talking.
So, in order to give recommendations on podcasts for Christian women, I turned to other women’s ministry leaders to get their thoughts. And, WOW! There are so many great Christian podcasts, it seems.
Podcasts allow you to listen to your favorite ministry leaders, writers, speakers, and bloggers on topics that resonate with you.
Some are weekly podcasts, others daily, and others have no specific schedule. Listening to podcasts is a great way to dive into topics affecting Christian women while going about your day. New episodes give practical advice and Bible studies, all referring to the Word of God as their foundation.
Podcasts are wonderful for covering important topics and helping you in your spiritual growth and Christian faith. Many even cover current events and how they affect our Christian worldview.
Here is a list of the best Christian podcasts:

Lisa Harper’s Back Porch Theology
You’re invited to hang out on Lisa Harper’s back porch and enjoy conversations about all things Jesus Christ, theological anthropology, biblical orthodoxy, Spanx, the merits of Tex-Mex, and more! We believe this podcast will help you dive deeper into God’s word, understand that the gospel is great news for everyday life, not just when viewed in the light of eternity, and that God is for us, that He’s always been in the process of redeeming our inherent value as imago Dei and restoring us into a vibrant, intimate relationship with Him. And rest assured, this won’t be a one-sided conversation because, throughout the podcast, Lisa will invite friends, including some brilliant theologians and academics, to join her in substantive but decidedly unstuffy segments.
Studying the Bible in Egypt and Israel taught Kristi that the Living God is BETTER than she ever knew. When the Lord gave us the Bible, He gave us a Story. It’s the best and truest Story ever told. Each story is like a pearl, beautiful and of great price on its own. But what’s more beautiful is stringing the biblical pearls together. Through the Bible, we know who the Living God is, what He’s like, and what it is to walk with Him. In this teaching podcast, Kristi strings 12 of my favorite biblical pearls together to read the Bible and interact with it, as it is living and active, and so we are. Kristi is a professor at Williamson College and serves as a biblical culturalist. She has a Master’s in Christian Education from Dallas Theological Seminary and has dedicated her life to teaching people how to study the Bible.

And that’s what this podcast is all about.

Confessions of a Crappy Christian
I love the real talk by Blake of Confessions of a Crappy Christian. If we’re being real, are any of us all that perfect? Blake says, “The heart of the show is to talk about our weaknesses and the things we’re great at to point people back to Christ and the kingdom.” She is funny and quirky and discusses topics that are on the minds of many Christian women. It’s like hearing from your best friend about topics that always relate to you. Real Christians and real life.

I just wanted to say hello! I stumbled upon your page recently and it appears this is from 2019? If so I would LOVE to add a new suggestion to a podcast that is just 1.5 years old!
I noticed almost all of your podcast recommendations were the same guests featured on Graceologie podcast, the Podcast host I work for, Gwen Smith with the Graceologie Podcast! So yes I mean be a little bias since I work for her but I was a fan before I joined the team! :)
I just wanted to see if you’ve ever checked it out and if not, maybe this would be one you’d love to recommend to your readers as well! I think you would love it. It seems like there are many similarities in all these awesome women! I know we are all trying to support each other and grow God's Kingdom together! Here is a link if anyone wants to check it out: https://gwensmith.net/graceologie/ Thank you!!! God bless! Emily-Anne Buck
