This week's study is on the struggle of "Single" Parenting, that we often experience with long (sometimes strange!) shifts of overtime and who knows what else in this industry!

If you have any questions or are struggling to find a healthy home church, please reach out! I'd be happy to share some more information about our own hunt for a new church home after our move last year.

We only have one more chapter in our study after this! Chapter 10, on Resentment, is next! After that, I'll be interviewing the lady of the hour herself: Melissa Humes, who published this book we have been using to deep-dive into scripture these past episodes. Email me with any questions you have thought of, or been wrestling over, that you would like me to ask her during this interview! I'd love to include as many of them as I possibly can.

In this episode, we chat after studying 1 Corinthians 13 for the chapter discussing Marriage.

This is a complex and many-faceted topic; we only scratch the surface! I would encourage you to read Proverbs 31, Titus 2, and other scripture on Biblical Womanhood and scripture discussing marriage in conjunction with 1 Corinthians 13 for a deep dive into this topic.

Next week we discuss and delve into Chapter 9 of the book: A Police Wife Bible Study by Melissa Humes

This week's episode discusses the importance of Integrity. If you haven't gone through the book, which guides and prompts a deeper study of this topic, please do so! 

That facilitation will give you a more thorough look into what integrity is, the weight and importance it carries, and the gravity of its role in our lives as Christians.

This discussion is a brief overview and highlight track, if you will, on what jumped out to us as we worked through this week's chapter.

Dictionary definition of Integrity:

2. the state of being whole and undivided.

2a. the condition of being unified, unimpaired, or sound in construction.

Next week we get into Chapter 8, and discuss Marriage.

This week's topic is Jealousy - we study the stories of Cain and Abel, Saul and David, Herod and the infant Jesus, and the Pharisees' interactions with Jesus. We cover a lot of text, but tried to be succinct due to some scheduling constraints we faced this week

We hope you enjoy!

Next week we look at Chapter 7 of our study, on Integrity!

This episode of The Sheepdog Wife Podcast tackles a slightly less difficult topic than previous weeks, but one that heavily impacts the First Responder world all the same.

Everyone will experience Fatigue at some point in their lives: so what can we learn about how to approach this topic from scripture? Join me in chapter 5 of A Police Wife Bible Study, in reading Ecclesiastes 3.1-14.

Next week, in Chapter 6, we look at the topic of Jealousy.

Our third week of the Bible Study authored by Melissa Humes, finds us working through Chapter 3 of the book, on the topic of Harassment.

Tune in as we discuss this extremely difficult topic from a perspective in Acts 16.

In this episode, we discuss Fear, what it can look like, who it impacts, and some practical application steps to work on conquering it. We hope that this episode will be a real encouragement for those walking through these feelings. That said, by nature this topic is sensitive, because we do discuss what *could* happen, I think what is in this episode is truth that you need to hear in the hard times, but use your discretion to time hearing when it will reach you best.

If you are struggling to conquer your fear or worry, and need someone to talk to, please reach out to us at [email protected], or contact us via social media (on Facebook, Instagram, or even TikTok).

Teaser for next week, we will cover Chapter 3, discussing Harassment.
