A woman is so discouraged that her retired husband no longer wants to have fellowship with other believers and has withdrawn from church. I hope my answer encourages all of you, no matter what age or stage of life you are in, to be faithful to the Lord yourself, no matter what is going on in your husband's life.

This week on the podcast, Maureen and I finish our conversation as we pivot from her life update to the topic of friendship.  We discuss how to navigate our friendships and how to help our children navigate theirs.  It's always my prayer that you are encouraged!  And for fun, we close out the podcast talking about a restaurant we both love. In fact, she introduced me to it. 

For more on friendship, I taught a series in September called "Friendships of Women."

This question comes to me every year and this year is no different. Since Real Questions, Real Answers drops on Halloween, I thought I would address it today! 

 My answer won't please everyone and there will be plenty who disagree and others who agree. But still, I hope you are encouraged to study your Bible, develop your own convictions, and train your children well. In the show notes, you'll find the links that I shared.

This week and next, I’m joined by my daughter-in-law, Maureen,  as we get a life update from her.  We talked about this stage of her life with teens, the ups and downs of "mom emotions" as we learn to let go,  plus so many changes and busyness in this season of life.

Next week, we will pick up where we left off and talk about friendships - not only navigating our adult friendships, but helping our children navigate their friendships. So much fun and so much wisdom.

A young woman feels lonely because as she is growing in Christ, she has lost many of her friends. Although she has many older mentors and friends, she longs for friends in her season of life who share her biblical worldview. How should she go about this? I hope my answer to her encourages you. Every time I handle a question, I think of so many other things I could add, but this is a start!

This week on the podcast, I continue sharing some simple principles that have helped me to live with purpose. The great apostle Paul said "to live is Christ." He also told us to let the word of Christ richly dwell within us.  I hope you are encouraged to do both!

How does a wife respectfully  push back or challenge her husband while being submissive to his leadership? 

In this session from our Fripp Island women's retreat, GraceAnna walks us through Ephesians 5:15–16.

As always, I trust you are encouraged!
