Ep. 69: Counseling Spotlight | When I Can’t Get Out of Despair 

In today’s episode, Meredith and Jessie discuss the difficulties of despair when we are not fearing God. They remind us to check our head and our heart. What false thinking are we believing? Where is our faith? They end by walking us through Psalm 73, Asaph’s lament and his complete trust in the God, his strength.

Ep. 68: The Fear of the Lord | Weeping and Wisdom 

In this month’s “Fear of the Lord” series we tackle what the Bible says about depression, hopelessness and deep valleys.  How can we think rightly and have Biblical wisdom as we face the trials and testing of life? Join Deb and Nicole as they talk about their personal lives and the prophet Jeremiah to hear what HOPE God gives to hurting hearts.   

In this month’s Living on Mission ministry highlight, Lindsey sits down with Lynn Ober, the leader of the Saylorville Women’s Prayer Team, and hears what the prayer team does and why prayer is so important to the health of Saylorville Church and to our women.

Ep. 65: The Fear of the Lord | Bev Leonard   

Join Grace and Bev Leonard as they talk about how trusting God's sovereign grace is better than fear- even in the face of suffering. 

Join Grace and Lindsey as they work through John 11 and the story of Lazarus’ death and resurrection.  It was a preview of what was about to take place with Jesus’ own death and resurrection and we can find such hope and comfort knowing that even Jesus wept over the effects of sin and death.  It was never meant to be this way.  But Jesus came to rescue us from sin and death.  He is the resurrection and the life.  So the question is, do you believe this?

Happy New Year!  Join Lindsey and Meredith as they look back on 2023 and celebrate what the Lord has done in the lives of Saylorville Women.  He has done marvelous things within women’s ministry, community groups, counseling and in the lives of individuals. May 2024 be filled with anticipation of what He will do in your life and in the lives that surround you.
