Emunah (Hebrew for faith, belief)

Ask the Girls! Is the world going to h*ll in a handbasket and taking our children with it?


Listen Later

Oklahoma sisters Yasmine and Jazlyn are distraught about all the turmoil in the world, including school shootings, youth identity struggles and parental neglect of their children.

For Yasmine, her faith in God has provided the support she needs right now. "The only reason I'm basically on the right path is because God raised me; a lot of the adults in my life are irresponsible. ...God trained me in the way I should go."

Jazlyn says, "Yes, we need to give our kids independence and kinda start that early but at the same time independence is 'you can do this on your own but if you need my help I'll be there for you.'"

Yasmine is a 16-year-old junior at the Carl Albert High School in Midwest City, OK. She is on the swim team and runs track.

Jazlyn is a 13-year-old 7th grader at the Carl Albert Middle School in Midwest City, OK.

The sisters created the Ask the Girls! episodes. They open with a selected Bible verse that holds special meaning for them. Other features include "Yea or Nay" where they discuss Christian behavior in particular situations and "If I were in their shoes," which looks at dilemmas parents tend to have in raising their children and whether mothers and fathers make the best choices in different situations.

Movie reviews are another feature popular with the sisters. They search for the biblical message in each film. This episode dissected the movies "Coraline" and "If." The movie trailers are available on Women of the Word website: https://wordconsultingllc.com .

"Coraline" explores the themes of deception, illusion, and the dangers of becoming attracted to appearance.

"If" is about a girl who discovers that she can see everyone's imaginary friends and what she does with that superpower.

Yasmine and Jazlyn would love to hear from you, get advice for new episodes and reactions about their work. Email WOW are [email protected]. Or provide a testimony on the website. Interested in being a part of the Ask the Girls! team, let us know.
