In this week’s Friday Focus episode, Emily and Emaley sit down with Claudia Barba — Southland's 2025 ladies' retreat speaker. She and her husband started Press On Ministries to encourage and strengthen local churches across the country.

Claudia shares practical and heartfelt wisdom for women seeking to grow in their walk with God. She discusses the importance of cultivating a consistent relationship with Christ, identifies some of the most common pitfalls facing wives, moms, and ladies in the church today, and offers biblical weapons for overcoming fear and worry.

You’ll also hear how God led her to begin writing devotionals for women — and how He continues to use that ministry to inspire others to press on in faith.

You can find Claudia Barba's books on Amazon or at www.ipresson.com.
