Friend to Friend: Hope for your Heart and Help from His Word

My guest Anna Romary, shares how at a time when she envisioned herself dating and preparing for married life, God is teaching her that the truest joy is found in His will, even when it looks different from our greatest desires. The simple act of daily counting her blessings has guarded her heart from complaining, bitterness, and settling for less than God's best in a culture that lives counter fro...

God calls all Christians to faithfulness, in all roles and areas of life, but we must carefully guard our hearts as we seek to faithfully serve our Savior.   Jenn and I discuss how the Enemy seeks to detour us from faithfully following our Savior through distraction, discouragement and doubt.

While shopping recently, I noticed a sign that said, "Quiet women seldom make history." I confess I tucked it away, and hid it by a different piece of decor. I recognize that we live in a world dominated by feminist thinking: fighting for equal rights, resisting male authority and shirking Biblical womanhood, but does this mindset truly prevail? Are we entirely dominated by this movement of unbibl...

And if we're not walking closely to God, asking for His wisdom, we can easily steer away from teaching our children and teenagers purity and holiness for fear of what others will label us as.  We can also go so far to teach purity that we hurt...

All through the Bible we see God looking to use a lineage, a family, a father to trace His hand and point His c...
