 “Prose discourse” is a form of language that doesn’t have any metrical structure to it. It isn’t the fast-moving action of narrative, nor is it the metered, imaginative language of poetry. Yet when you read biblical law codes or Paul’s letters, you’re reading prose discourse. https://www.facebook.com/jointhebibleproject/posts/prose-discourse-is-a-form-of-language-that-doesnt-have-any-metrical-structure-to/1052568501613210/

Wether or not you're someone who loves a list or even a set of goals, New Years Resolutions seem to have a pull with everyone! In this episode we have a look at some biblical goals that Paul describes in his letter to the Philippians (in chapter 3). Paul's goals got us thinking about how easy it is for us to focus our attention, our giftings, our money - on WORLDLY goals... after all, that's what everyone else is doing, right? Paul's words in this letter are a real rebuke and challenge to modern day worldly thinking and a challenge to where our citizenship, as Christian women, really is: here or in heaven. Perfect timing as we begin a whole new year...


What does the Bible say about goals?
READ Philippians 3 

Diagnostic: what does my life actually say about my goals?

How does they way you spend your time, your talents (your gifts) and treasure (your $$) communicate about what your goals are in life?

This is part two of our latest series looking at the claims out there justifying sex outside of marriage. This episode we go straight to the heart of the matter.
Do we really believe God knows us better than ourselves when it comes to sex? Can we trust God... even with our sex life? We also address shame & guilt. The way Jesus responds to our brokenness, our desires, and how this impacts the way we play out life and our relationships. It's all about healing & restoration.  It's all about a woman and a well.

The Claims:
- Adam and Eve didn’t have a ceremony and didn’t sign a piece of paper to be bound together. They had sex. Therefore, premarital sex does not exist.
- Sex is marriage.
- End game dating = sex is okay because you’ll eventually get married/you’re treating it like marriage now. 

Bible Passages:
John 4:1-30
