Aging with Grace for Godly Women - Part 2

Welcome to part 2 of our 3-part series on growing older. There’s all kinds of advice out there for how to be a godly wife and how to raise your children. But rarely do you hear anything about how becoming a widow changes your life and your identity, or how much it will change your life when your children grow up and leave home, or what it's like to grow older as a single woman. Aging really is a huge adjustment to a new season of life. In this episode we'll be talking about some of the practical aspects of growing older.

What did you think of parts 1 & 2? In part 3, we'll be reading your responses and thoughts, so please be sure to comment on this episode or our social media pages!

Aging with Grace for Godly Women- Part 1

Tonight begins a three part series on a topic that, unfortunately, isn’t talked about very much in the church: aging. What it’s like to grow older as a godly woman. In this Part 1 episode, we’re going to take a look at what Scripture says about aging. What does Scripture tell us to think about aging and to do as we age? Grab your Bible and let's study these passages together.

Talk Back: The Yeast of the Progressives

What happens when speakers add their own opinions and worldly cultural influences to the Word of God? The examples we are sharing are not from Word of Faith or New Apostolic Reformation services, but from the other end of the spectrum - the Progressive Christianity movement. Join us as we "talk back" to the Progressives with what the Bible really says.

Love and Marriage!

Hollywood marriages last about as long as peanut butter cups in a bowl full of raisins. Not much of a shelf life, and not based on Christ.

The Bible has a lot to say about what "real" marriages look like. With more than 60 years of marriage experience between them, Michelle and Amy discuss biblical love and godly marriages, and what they've learned.

The Pew: The State of Women's Ministry- Part 2

Last October, LifeWay Research released a study called The State of Ministry to Women. They surveyed 1,000 female churchgoers and 842 women’s ministry leaders "aiming to assess the state of women's ministry, with a focus on acknowledging progress and identifying areas for further development.”

In part 1 of this episode of The Pew, we discussed the results of the survey of the women's ministry leaders. Tonight, in part 2, we’re going to take a look at the results of the survey that was administered to the women churchgoers.

Holy Habits for the New Year: Abolition for Women

Lots of people make New Year’s resolutions that tend to fizzle out within a few weeks or months. Instead, we want to introduce to you some holy habits you can integrate into your walk with the Lord. Last year’s holy habits were more about private sanctification in our own one on one relationship with Christ. This year’s habits are more outwardly focused on ministering to others. And one of the holy habits we want to encourage you to consider “doing” this year is abortion abolition.
