Hello and welcome to the Arise, Beloved podcast! There are a lot of beautiful women’s ministries out there, and we love and participate in many of them. Our goal is not to compete or replace any of them. But what we think the Church needs right now is for a whole generation of women to become aware of their places of deepest brokenness and seek healing and transformation and restoration. We think that we women in the Church need a place and a people that are addressing the hard things women struggle with this side of heaven — things like mental health and body image distortion and abuse and insecurity and woundedness and so we said yes to a ministry that is ministering the heart of Eve inside of us, the wounded areas of darkness where we experience shame and fear and isolation.  We are so glad you are here and we can't wait to see what the Lord does with this ministry!
