A Biblical Vision for Marriage

In this first session, GraceAnna introduces the need for a biblical vision for all of life, including motherhood. She takes women to the Scriptures to see why marriage is the foundation of motherhood.

In this episode, GraceAnna shares why she wrote her Bible Study, A Vision for Motherhood. We also talk about the importance of discipleship and mentoring within the local church. No matter the age or stage or season of life women are in - whether married, single, or whether they have children or not - all women need a biblical vision for motherhood. We trust you will be encouraged!

God calls us to walk through hard things. Sometimes those hard things show up in ways we don't expect. In this podcast, Maureen, busy wife and mom, shares how she deals daily with the intrusion and progression of multiple sclerosis in her life. You'll be encouraged as you hear how she chooses to trust God with the challenges it brings.

Isaiah 26:3 "You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You."

In this week's podcast, I share some simple truths that have helped me keep my mind on the Lord. Hope it encourages you.

From transitioning your children into fall, conquering whining, and handling mealtime, Chesed and I discussed a wide range of topics!

Wise women want to build their homes. But we never arrive. We never have it all figured out. We can never build, watch, sleep, rest, or do anything without the Lord. That is - anything of substance. This week on the podcast, we're going to look at Psalm 127 and 128. In these two passages, we are reminded of God's providential care over us. He is sovereign. Our work is useless unless God works. No matter how hard we build our homes, how much care we take, how much we worry, we cannot control our homes. Now, God wants us to build our homes. He wants us to watch over our homes and He wants us to be industrious and not lazy. I trust this week's podcast will encourage you.

The Scripture tells us, “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.”

When older Christian women are spiritually strong, when they are wise, when they model godliness in both their behavior and in their dress, they become great role models for the young women. In today’s podcast, we take a look at the Rebekah, Tamar, the foolish woman of Proverbs 7, and the women of Judah. Each of us must decide if we are going to be wise or foolish.

Transitioning from the lazy hazy crazy days of summer to the structure of fall as children begin schooling - that’s the conversation with GraceAnna for this week’s podcast! Stay tuned for episodes with Maureen and Chesed!

Wisdom seems to be underrated and under-appreciated today.  It used to be that foolishness was reserved, for the most part, to the young and immature.  They would grow out of it as the older and wiser instructed and taught them.  But today, it seems foolishness reigns, yet God tells us to get wisdom.
