Discipleship is not a new topic around here, nor is it likely something new to you. But let’s take some time to evaluate what discipleship looks like for us today, where we want to go, and how we equip our leaders to join in on the journey. Our hope is this conversation will encourage you in whatever season you find yourself, as well as remind you of the importance of being discipled yourself.

New Year, new you!? Wait, is that right?

Many of us have bought the lie that struggles with body image and self-esteem are just teen girl issues. Yet in the New Year, we come face-to-face with the reality that our bodies never quite feel good enough. We'd like to be thinner, prettier, and just better, please. But phew, that feels exhausting even as grown women. So where's the good news? What hope does the gospel offer us? How do we show our girls this hope?

Oh man, we loved this conversation with our friend and Lifeway Girls author, Caroline Saunders. And we know you will too!

**We recorded this episode LIVE at Lifeway Women's Leadership Forum.

Resource Highlight: Caroline has a brand new Bible study coming out this year with Lifeway Women and Lifeway Girls called Come Home. Check out the Bible study for women at Lifeway.com/comehome.

Not only is it a new year, but we are in a brand new season of His Glory, Her Good! And to start it off, you're going to hear all about how we feel going into 2024.  Where are you at with the new year? Are you excited to crush some goals? Nervous for what's to come? Or just thankful 2023 is over?

Inspired by the book, What If It’s Wonderful?  by Nicole Zasowski, this conversation will invite you to walk in joy and celebration about who God is and what He might do this year.  Because what if 2024 isn’t just okay—what if it’s wonderful?

“We don’t trip, we trust.” On our final episode of Season 1, we are very excited for you to hear from our friend, YouTuber, and CEO of Bible Beauty Co., Yasmine Williams Woods. It’s easy to get caught up in the detours, setbacks, delays, frustrations, and loss. But if we are going to proclaim that our calling is ultimately for His glory, we have to trust wherever He may lead. So let’s learn how to put our faith in the One who calls us despite life not looking like we thought it would.  

This week’s resource is Elijah by Priscilla Shirer.

As ministry leaders, hard conversations are a natural part of our jobs. But when do we acknowledge our limitations and refer our students, leaders, parents, and maybe even ourselves to professional counseling? And how do we go about doing that? That's why we’re introducing Aunt P—our friend and residential counseling professional on this podcast! 

Aunt P walks you through the steps to seek and refer counseling in the way best suited to your situation. It will be important to know the laws for your state (including, but not limited to, mandatory reporting). We are not here to be your counselor but to help point you in the right direction to find and refer counseling.  

This week’s resource is Counseling Women.

Did God actually call me to work in student ministry? What if my calling looks different than I thought it would? Am I in the wrong calling? What should I do once I am called? These are all common questions we hear often from ministry leaders, and we want you to know you're not alone if you've asked any one of them. Join our conversation today with two Lifeway Student teammates, Nancy Farag and Alecia Bryant, as we help you remember your calling and the God who called you.

He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. — 1 Thessalonians 5:24

We can’t do ministry alone! So how can you begin building a culture of leaders who are champions for student and girls ministry? We’ll talk about the purpose of leaders, and discuss a strategy using three touchpoints: coach, care, and recruit. It doesn’t matter if you need one or one hundred leaders, we hope you’ll be encouraged on your next step in building leaders.

We are so thankful to have friends and Lifeway Girls authors, Mac Bridges and Kenz Durham, with us for this episode all about feelings! Working with teen girls in ministry, we experience and talk through all the feels. You might not be a feeler, but what if we told you that God has created our feelings to invite us into intimacy with Him? And here’s the deal, that invitation isn’t just for your teen girls. It’s for you, too! 

Mac and Kenz met in the Belmont University cafeteria their freshmen year of college when their moms introduced them because they share the same name (MacKenzie). Then, they quickly bonded over more than just their namesake—they both had a deep love for Jesus and a zeal for community. Over the years, they’ve started Delight ministries together, written books together, and created For The Girl as a way to combine those two passions. They believe that following Jesus is the most wildly exciting ride of your life, taking yourself too seriously is overrated, and faith is best done in community!

Whether it’s with our leaders, students, or peers, we will face hard conversations. The question is how do we find that balance of love and truth? In this episode, we talk about why the hard conversations are necessary and how the most loving thing we can do is to be honest.

Watching your teen girl make mistakes or bad choices can lead to frustration or feeling like a failure. But as ministry leaders, we must be careful not to replace the work of the Holy Spirit in a girls’ life with our good intentions to modify their behavior.
