Help Me Abide

Welcome back to Help Me Abide and to our Summer Bonus Season! Today I'm bringing you a lesson I had the privilege of sharing at a marriage conference just this past year. Now, fair warning this one is on the shorter side and a little raw, but my prayer is that its truth is worth your time. This lesson is intended especially for married women, so if you are a teenager or a s ingle lady, feel fr...

Today is the day! The premier of our brand-new season called “Beauty for Ashes.” This season has been on my heart for a while.

The average person worldwide spends approximately 6 hours and 40 minutes on screens daily. In the US, this number is slightly higher, averaging 7...

This message was preached during our church's Fundamentalist Conference last fall. It is by far the best message I have ever heard with regard to modesty. Pastor Ross was gentle yet firm. He was honest and kind. He propelled me to want to do better. I sincerely hope and pray you will be helped, encouraged and convicted by this amazing message preached by Pastor Jerry Ross, pastor of the Blessed Ho...

Mrs. Goddard graciously asked me to speak to the teenage girls this year at our annual Ladies Conference. I chose to speak about bitterness.
