When the wrong people seem to win (and you’re trying to do right)… it can make you tired. In this Bible study for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) breaks down Psalm 73 and what to do when dishonest people look comfortable, untouchable, and “blessed”… while you’re over here doing your best to stay clean and faithful.

This message is for the sister who’s been thinking:

“Why does doing right feel slow?”

“Why does their life look easier than mine?”

“Is my obedience even worth it?”

“Why does injustice keep happening?”

Psalm 73 gives you God’s perspective—so you don’t slip into comparison, shortcuts, or bitterness. And most importantly, it brings you back to the truth: peace is part of the blessing, and Jesus is the way back to God’s peace!

Not on the list? Access denied? Claiming the inheritance but rejecting the Father? In this Bible study for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) breaks down what it really means to be a child of God, an heir of God, and part of His Kingdom through Jesus Christ!

A lot of people want the blessings of God, the protection of God, the peace of God, and the inheritance of God… but they don’t want a true relationship with God. They want the mansion, but not the Father. They want the access, but not the surrender. They want the title, but not the transformation.

But Scripture makes it clear: you can’t inherit what you reject.

So if you’ve been wondering,

“Why do I feel far from God?”

“Why do I feel lonely?”

“Why do I only run to Jesus when life falls apart?”

“Why do I keep repeating the same patterns and ending up hurt?”

“How do I come back to God after everything I’ve done?”

Or if you’ve been saying, “I’m a child of God,” but you’ve been distant from Him, running from Him, or trying to claim His promises without walking with Him… my sister, this message is for you.

Waiting on God’s timing can feel unbearable, especially when you’ve been praying and nothing seems to move.

In this Bible study for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) breaks down what to do when God doesn’t answer right away, how to stop taking shortcuts in the waiting, and how to build the kind of faith that stays!

Negative self-talk. Anxiety. Feeling stuck in the same cycle?

In this Bible study for women, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) breaks down the power of the tongue, why Scripture says your words carry life and death, and how to stop speaking defeat over yourself.

We’ll look at how the world uses words (affirmations, law of attraction, manifestation), but then we go deeper: what does God say about your tongue, your heart, and the words you keep rehearsing? You’ll learn how to swap anxious inner noise for Scripture-backed speech, build a daily Bible habit, and start turning your words into prayer—David-style—honest, faith-filled, and anchored in trust in God!

If you’ve been calling yourself broke, stuck, unloved, or unworthy… this message is for you. Jesus is the living Word, and He can transform your heart and retrain your mouth!

Are you struggling to let go of someone or something God already told you to leave?

Maybe it’s a relationship, an old habit, a toxic environment, a comfort zone, a distraction, or a version of your old life that keeps pulling you backward?

My sister… this message is for you.Because danger doesn’t always look dangerous. Sometimes it looks normal. Comfortable. Familiar. Safe.

This is Part 2 of our Lot’s Wife Bible study series. In this Bible study, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) walks through Genesis 19 and Jesus’ warning in Luke 17: “Remember Lot’s wife.”

This message will help you recognize what keeps you looking back, why obedience can feel so hard, and how Jesus leads you out of what God never meant for you to stay in.Because Jesus is the Deliverer. He doesn’t just warn you. He leads you forward!

Welcome to To Run or Not To Run with Jesus Christ, where Scripture meets storytelling and women have real encounters with Jesus.

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” (Mark 8:36, NIV)

My sister… if you’ve ever looked at someone’s life and thought, “How are you this blessed… and still complaining?” this message is for you!

Because the real danger isn’t receiving blessings.It’s when blessings start feeling normal… expected… owed.

And gratitude gets replaced with entitlement.

In this Bible study, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) walks through the rise of Lot and Lot’s wife, and shows how a woman can live in overflow by association… yet never build the intimacy with God that actually sustains blessing long-term.

This message isn’t here to shame anyone. It’s here to protect your peace!

We’ll break down:

• blessed by association vs. blessed by relationship

• how entitlement shows up even in delivered people

• why Lot’s “easy-looking” choice was spiritually dangerous

• how drift happens quietly when comfort makes you stop seeking God

• and why you don’t just need blessings… you need closeness with God to keep them!

Because proximity to God’s movement can bless you… but only an intimate relationship with God keeps you rooted.

“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105, NIV)

My sister… if you’ve ever been pulled in the wrong direction by a confident voice, a planted doubt, or a lie that sounded deep, this message is for you.

Because not every voice that sounds convincing is sent by God.

In this Bible study, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) walks through the story of Eve, the tempter, and the danger of not knowing God’s Word for yourself.

This message is not here to shame you. It’s here to protect you!

“So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!” (1 Corinthians 10:12, NIV)

My sister… if your life feels comfortable right now, pay extra attention. This message is for you.

Because the tempter doesn’t usually show up when you’re in the pit. He shows up when you’re finally doing okay.

And that’s when one small choice can turn into damage-control mode.

In Part 1, we studied the rise of David: the overlooked shepherd boy God chose, strengthened, and raised up to defeat Goliath.

But in this Bible study, Patricia Calixte (Patty Pat) walks through the fall of David, the story of David and Bathsheba, and the sobering warning God gives us through his life.

This message is not here to shame you. It’s here to protect your peace.

Because David didn’t fall on the battlefield. He fell when comfort made him stop watching his soul.

We’ll study how one unchecked moment led to adultery, cover-up, murder, exposure, consequences, repentance, and mercy.

And most importantly, we’ll look at the way back, because Jesus is still the way, the truth, and the life!

If you’ve ever thought, “It’s fine… God will forgive me,” this message is a loving warning: yes, God forgives when we repent, but sin still has a cost.
