The world, and sometimes even the Christian world, tells us that we need to do “big things” and “change the world,” but is this true? Is it even necessary? The Bible tells us practically what it looks like to serve God well, and it does not include doing “radical,” “monumental” things. Rather, it is faithfulness in the little things that makes us world-changers.

Peter never imagined he would deny Jesus. In fact, he swore he would follow his Lord even to death! Yes, Peter learned some difficult lessons, but by God’s grace those lessons were not learned in vain.

Oh, Peter. Many of us find it easy to identify with this imperfect apostle. He was impetuous, among other things, and often spoke first and thought later. Yet the Lord loved Peter and used him mightily for His kingdom. Let’s open our Bibles, ladies, and take some time to ponder Peter.

The Bible uses leaven as a picture of both good and bad influence. In Matthew 13 and Luke 13, Jesus uses the parable of the leaven to describe the nature of the Kingdom of God. Though the origins of God’s kingdom on earth may seem small and insignificant, there’s no denying that its power has transformed the world. In this episode, Erin discusses some implications of this impact.

Perhaps one of the greatest declarations in Scripture is when John the Baptist sees Jesus and proclaims, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" Listen in as we discuss the great truth that our Good Shepherd is also the Lamb of God.

Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Is there any picture more comforting? In this episode of Equipping Eve, we'll open our Bibles and see exactly what Jesus meant by this great "I Am" statement and in the process, we'll see exactly what a good shepherd looks like.

Do you know Joan Broughton? Let’s travel back in time and consider this sister from the past who gave her life for Christ. Persecution might look different for most of us today, but it does still exist in various forms. What encouragement can we draw from the Word in the face of persecution?

In Acts 4:13, we are told of Peter and John that it was clear “they had been with Jesus.” Is this true of us? Is this true of those from whom we are learning? What did Jesus look like, and what implications does this have on our lives?

God has set forth for His children a myriad of promises. Perhaps one of the sweetest promises of God to us is found in John 10, where we learn that those who have been saved are safely cupped in the hand of Christ, our Savior, and He is never letting go.

Erin tends to cringe when she hears the phrase “biblical womanhood.” That’s because so many of the sermons, studies, and books with this theme seem to lead to checklists and a works-based mentality. When talking about biblical womanhood—or manhood, for that matter—we must start with a proper a foundation. Otherwise, our concept of biblical womanhood will be dangerously skewed.
