In this deeply compassionate episode of Well and Grace, host Regina Bartlett speaks directly to the hearts of women who find themselves still waiting—waiting for the husband, the child, the life they dreamed of.

Anchored in Ecclesiastes 3:11, this episode offers hope to the women who feel forgotten, highlighting the beauty of God’s timing and the truth that you may already be a spiritual mother to many.

He is Risen: Resurrection Sunday

On this final day of our Lenten journey, we celebrate the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28 unfolds the most transformative event in human history—the empty tomb. With historical depth and sacred awe, we reflect on the angelic declaration, the courage of the women at the tomb, and the commissioning power of the risen Savior. The resurrection is not the end of the story—it is the launching point of our call to go, make disciples, and live as resurrection people. He is risen, just as He said.

In This Episode:

• Historical context of burial practices and Roman security

• The role of women as first witnesses

• Fulfillment of prophecy and the theology of resurrection

• Jesus’ Great Commission to the disciples—and to us

• A heartfelt prayer of praise for the risen Lord

Mentioned Scripture:

• Matthew 28 (entire chapter)

• Isaiah 53:9 (Messianic prophecy)

• 1 Corinthians 15:45 (Christ as the second Adam)

• Matthew 16:21, 17:23, 20:19 (Jesus predicts His resurrection

Sacred Silence: Lenten Reflection Day 45

On this Holy Saturday, we sit in the quiet place between the crucifixion and the resurrection. The tomb is sealed, the sky is silent, and the world is waiting. But even here, in the stillness, God is at work.

Join Regina Bartlett as she reflects on the silent strength of Joseph of Arimathea, the tension of the guarded tomb, and the mysterious power of a day that feels forgotten in the Easter story. Through the raw and personal story of her sister’s ruptured brain aneurysm — and the in-between time between diagnosis and miracle — Regina explores how Holy Saturday mirrors the waiting seasons in our own lives.

This is not a day of absence. This is the sacred pause where resurrection is being prepared.

When Darkness Fell: Lenten Reflection Day 44

In this powerful Good Friday reflection, we walk with Jesus through Matthew 27 and sit at the foot of the cross. This day, filled with suffering and sorrow, is called Good Friday—not because it was pleasant, but because of what Jesus accomplished through it. In today’s episode, Regina unpacks the historical and spiritual depth of this moment, shares her own adult revelation about the brutal reality of the crucifixion, and recognizes that the story of Barabbas isn’t just about someone else—it’s about all of us.

We don’t rush to Sunday. We sit in the stillness. In the weight. In the holy darkness.

Betrayed: Lenten Reflection Day 43

In this powerful Holy Week reflection, we walk through one of the most emotionally charged chapters in all of Scripture. From the Last Supper to the Garden of Gethsemane, from betrayal by a friend to denial by a follower—Matthew 26:17–75 invites us to sit in the tension, grief, and love of Jesus’ final hours before the cross. Join Regina as she shares the historical and biblical context of this sacred passage, her personal story of spiritual denial and restoration, and a heartfelt prayer to draw us closer to Christ in these final days of Lent.

The Fragrance of Worship: Lenten Reflection Day 42

In today’s episode of Well and Grace, we step into a quiet, sacred moment just days before the crucifixion. Based on Matthew 26:6–13, we reflect on the powerful story of a woman who anointed Jesus with expensive perfume—an act of bold, intimate worship that Jesus called “a beautiful thing.”

We explore:

• The historical and cultural significance of her offering

• Why her story is remembered every time the Gospel is preached

• How our own acts of surrender—even in brokenness—rise like a pleasing fragrance to God

Regina shares a vulnerable personal story of worship through sorrow and reminds us that what we offer Jesus in faith is never wasted. If you’ve ever wondered whether your small offerings matter, this episode is for you.
