    Thoroughly Equipped S.2 Ep. 13
    In this episode we are critiquing the last session of the 2020 IF:Gathering conference where Jennie Allen had each of the speakers present a message on a portion of Romans 8. Sadie Robertson-Huff was given Rom. 8:39 to give a message on.

    Looking over Romans 8:31-39 in context
    Will Sadie's message change the hearts of these women?
    Looking at John 21
    Does the charcoal fire recorded in John 21 have anything to do with "remembering our past" as we meet with God?
    Can we miss out on what God's doing in our life if we "turn" to observe what God is doing in other people's lives?
    Do our testimonies have the power to raise the dead to life?

About Thoroughly Equipped

From the publisher's feed

Have you ever thought about the Popular Evangelical Women’s Ministry in America today? Do you read books by female ministers, attend their "bible" studies, and sold-out conferences? Do you ever wonder if these produce the maturity they claim to encourage? Perhaps you have spent hours reading books and attending conferences and feel no more mature in your Christian walk than you did 5, 10, or even 20 years ago? Or maybe you're a discerning woman who understands that there is something wrong but can’t put your finger on it or articulate why there seems to be a problem.
