Why No One Wins When a Woman Is Devalued | Therapy & Theology

For over 25 years Proverbs 31 Ministries' mission has been to intersect God's Word in the real, hard places we all struggle with. That's why we started this podcast. Every episode will feature a variety of teachings from president Lysa TerKeurst, staff members or friends of the ministry who can teach you something valuable from their vantage point. We hope that regardless of your age, background or stage of life, it's something you look forward to listening to each month!

How often do we almost take a step of faith ... only to stop short of what we're asked to do because we don't feel equipped? We don't feel like we've had enough time to prepare.
We don't see how our gifts align with the assignment. 
Someone else is already doing it. In today's episode, author and podcaster Rachel G. Scott shows us how we should respond to God's unique calling for our lives in each season. You'll be challenged to identify why you've delayed your "yes" to God and inspired to seek out how God has already prepared you.  Related Resources:Grab a copy of Rachel's book Taking the 5 Leaps: Experiencing God’s Faithfulness as You Respond to His Call.Our free guide called “Why Can’t I Get Over This: 5 Steps To Get Unstuck in the Areas You Can’t Seem To Make Progress In” will help you identify what’s currently not working and why, by answering intentional questions that will get you excited about the future again. When you give to Proverbs 31 Ministries, you make it possible for us to help you and women like you know the Truth of God's Word and live the Truth every day because we know it changes everything.

"God Has Given You What You Need To Do What He's Asked" With Rachel G. Scott

How can life be so full yet sometimes feel so empty at the same time? It could be we're missing out on where true fullness comes from. In this episode, join us for a conversation with singer-songwriter and author Ellie Holcomb as she walks us through Psalm 119. She shares her personal journey of memorizing Scripture and the transformative power it has had in her life and offers practical tips for you to do the same. While we may strive for a perfect life, true fullness comes from experiencing God's presence and knowing Him intimately.

"When You're Weary and Worn Down" With Ellie Holcomb

Does life sometimes feel so  ... ordinary? When our to-dos consume us and we find ourselves in a never-ending cycle of cleaning, caring for our people, and probably not taking enough care of ourselves, we wonder, Is there more? We look at women in the Bible like Mary, Ruth and Hagar, and it's easy to see the significance of their lives and feel like we're missing out. But in today's episode, Dr. Naomi Cramer Overton, CEO of Stonecroft Ministries and Managing Editor of the Every Woman's Bible, shares that these women probably felt a lot like we do today: insecure, isolated, doubtful and insignificant. You'll hear practical ways you can be reassured of your purpose by believing what God says and getting plugged in to community.  Wherever you are today, live your "ordinary" for the people around you, all for the glory of God.
