What’s going to happen if our godly women today don’t invest in the lives of the next generation of young women? I think about this often. So many young women don’t grow up in families that reflect what a biblical family should be. This generation is consumed by social media and influencers, yet God says the primary influencers should be the godly older women in the church—women who are not like Lot’s wife, in love with the world rather than the Lord.

Young women need, as they always have, older women who understand what God’s Word teaches about being created as a woman, who have walked faithfully with Him, learned to bring their emotions under His control, and have wisdom to pass on to the young women following them.

Here’s the thing: today’s young women are, in many ways, a motherless generation—both in the home and in the church. Some may dismiss me as just an old lady, but that doesn’t matter. As long as God gives me breath, I will continue teaching His truth.

This week’s podcast features a message I shared with women at a conference in Dallas, Texas.

I trust it will encourage you.

God created all things for His glory and His pleasure. For the first 19 years of my life, I knew God loved me but I didn't understand that He found pleasure in me.

When I grew in my understanding of this principle, my life was forever changed. As a child, God orchestrated an event in my life to show me I was a sinner in need of salvation. He drew me to Himself. Then later, He used a great heartbreak to sharpen my vision, give me focus, and to make my heart beat for eternity.

Both of these moments in my life happened during the Christmas season. I hope this podcast encourages you and deepens your understanding that you, too, were created for His glory and He finds pleasure in you.

I grabbed some time with my daughter-in-law, Chesed, and her girls as they were on their way to Fripp Island to celebrate Thanksgiving with her family.

I'm so thankful my son, Jeremy and his family, stopped here first! We had an evening and morning together.

It was so fun to gather the girls for a podcast - we talked about many random things!

Like ... what their fall has been like - school and activities and schedules- even the road trip from DC to Seabrook!  And I have to say I just listened because that part of the podcast is so entertaining!

Some of their thoughts gathered around the theme of time and how it is such a gift.  

God is always working in our lives whether we are 9 or 66.

As always, I hope this very fun podcast encourages you in your walk with the Lord

This week we're featuring my daughter, GraceAnna, as she recently spoke at a women's conference.

Women are house builders.

Proverbs 9:1 says, "Wisdom has built her house . . . "

Verse 10 says : "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

This week's podcast will help us understand some choices we must make to be wise house builders.

Proverbs 24:3–4 states this:

"By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge, the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches."

God is so kind to trust women to build homes whose rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. As we build our homes, we are strengthening the country, and we have a major influence in the world. When we do this, we are bringing honor to the Lord.

On this week's podcast, we focus on what  it means to be a biblical housebuilder.

I trust it encourages you.

The poem "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle is the Hand that Rules the World" was written in 1865 and although the phrase remains, the poem has long faded from memory.

As you listen to this week's podcast, you will hear a lot from the book of Proverbs, you will hear the poem, and by God's grace, you will be renewed in your heart about what it means to walk with God moment by moment doing the things God has called you to do. And one of those things is rocking the cradle. The world may not notice your faithfulness in the home, but God does. And it matters.

Working in the home matters. Being there for your people - making a house a home matters.

All throughout the Scripture, we see how God created women to be keepers of the home in a very special way.  Then specifically in Titus chapter 2, when the Lord is giving a curriculum list of what the older women are to teach the younger women, one of those is to be "a worker at home. "

This week on the podcast, we're going to explore that phrase and even talk about how it has become so controversial in our day.

I trust it will be helpful to you and as always, visit my website at audreybroggi.com for more encouragement.

This week on the podcast, I share some thoughts about home.

No matter where or how or when we grew up, we never forget our home. Home is supposed to be something really special. It is supposed to be the place where we are loved unconditionally, taught, guided, sheltered, and protected in our youngest years. It's supposed to be a place that prepares us for life.

God has a heart for the home. He established it.

It is my prayer that this podcast encourages you.

October, November, December! The season of holidays ... Reformation Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

On this week's podcast, I'm joined by my daughter, GraceAnna, and we talk about all things holidays. We're moving into that season and there's so much to share from the big holidays to simple celebrations as a family.

We conclude with Manger in Danger and how Grant and GraceAnna created a game focusing on Christ from a simple tradition in their family.
