Older Women Likewise

Cindy and Ila are joined by a mother-and-daughter team tonight - Dana Burk and her daughter, Kristiana Burk. We will talk about choices in relation to setting our goals - career, family and Christianity.

A RERUN FROM JUNE 16, 2022. Imagine Christianity minus the entertainment shows, the hypocrisy, and the jockeying for positions of power within the complex network of denominational organizations. What would Christianity look like minus every man-made rule and human tradition imposed these last 2000 years of church history? What would be left is the original, simple, pre-denominational, pre-Catholi...

In July of 2020, Cindy and her husband Mark tossed their big white cat, Bella, in their big black class B van and set out on a quest to visit and encourage 100 conservative churches of Christ around the country. As they traveled, they shared God’s truths with the souls we met, gave away copies of Cindy's book Your Fresh Start at every opportunity, gathered Biblically sound, inspiring ideas for gro...

In this program, Cindy returns to consider with Ila the Biblical principles that should be considered when choosing our goals, what Biblical virtues are instrumental in knowing how best to conduct ourselves while striving for a goal, and the little and big goals they’ve personally found fulfillment in pursuing.

OWL’s Wise Older Women panel will talk about how a woman’s identity is connected with her family, her work, her parents and her husband. Who is she without them? How can she reclaim her own identity if/when they are gone? How does God’s word address these concerns?

In this program, Ila will be joined by Beth, Julie and Christine who will discuss the differences we experience with autistic persons and how we all can achieve the unity of God through better understanding. We hope that this program will inform and encourage parents, grandparents, extended family as well as the family of God as they all engage an autistic person, whether child or adult.

Ila will be joined by Julie Estes and Colleen O’Steen to discuss how our trust in God leads to our trusting His and our family.

Dana Burk, Julie Estes and Ila King will discuss the joy that we have in trusting in God. How is it achieved? What does the scripture promise us? What Bible characters showed us the way to trust God?

Beth Stuckey, Christine Eckhardt and Julie Estes join Ila in a discussion of how parents can raise an autistic child to become a loving, obedient child of God.

Dana Burk and Cami Bunting join Ila King to discuss prayer and especially praying for our enemies.

Cindy Dunagan, Ila King and Colleen O’Steen explore the specifics around what God says in the New Testament about fasting and prayer, then consider the needs they’ve observed in our culture that seem most pressing at present to keep in our prayers, and will end their discussion with cameras off to pray with their viewers for the most pressing needs around us.

Colleen O’Steen joins Ila King and Cindy Dunagan for a conversation about why they find prayer to be a joy, what qualities God says can make one’s prayers effective, and how to avoid mindless rote or “vain repetition” when we are boldly approaching God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).

Ila and Cindy have a light conversation about the good places OWL has been and the exciting, new places OWL is going in 2023.

There are certain gifts we give one another that money cannot buy. In this program, Ila and Cindy talk about how we can share with one another the priceless gifts of love and concern, active kindness and encouragement, gentleness, honesty, truthfulness, respect, appreciation, time, a listening ear, tolerance, patience and forgiveness.

Guests Colleen O’Steen and Dana Burk join Cindy and Ila for an upbeat conversation about what they love best about being older women.

Kathleen Trigg leads a discussion with Ila and Cindy that encourages godly women to follow Biblical teaching and examples to replace negative, inaccurate perceptions of aging and death.

Ila and guests Judy Dolan and Jill Yopp explore what God says about aging and death and the many reasons why the child of God can look at these two realities with complete and genuine confidence.

Ila and Cindy enjoy a light conversation about both the big and little things for which they are especially thankful.

In this program, Ila and Cindy welcome Colleen O’Steen and Dana Burk as they explore practices, tools, and resources that can help us better steward our relationships as we tend to the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical well-being of our spouses, children, church family, friends, communities, countries and even our influence in the world.

Stephanie Haley facilitates a conversation with Ila, Cindy, and Heather using 2 Timothy 2:19-22 around the practical things young, single Christian women can do to be “vessels of honor” and the rewards that await those who in this way have chosen to “call on the Lord from a pure heart.”

Part of being made in the image of God is the love of being productive and engaged in meaningful work. Just as God put Adam and Eve in a garden to tend, so also we too are entrusted to tend to a spiritual kind of garden: Our lives. In this month’s programs we will consider how to accurately assess and be attentive to our life garden, and in today’s program Colleen O’Steen and Dana Burk join Cindy...

Ila, Cindy, and Heather explore several more Biblical accounts to gain insights from both the failures and victories of those who faced temptation.

Dana Burk joins Cindy and Ila to discuss some key elements that God says are effective in helping one another out of sin. What might these elements look and sound like in action?

Grace teaches me...so much! Please join Heather, Cindy, and Ila for a discussion on what grace teaches us in the moment, how we can grow in grace, and how not to be afraid to declare, "I am saved by grace!" (Spoiler alert: all three of these are direct Bible quotes.)

In a world that calls evil good and good evil, chugs down the poison of sin like there’s no tomorrow, and is thus fettered by chains of its own forging, what’s the divine plan to free ourselves from the misery of moral poverty and wickedness? In this program, Ila King, Cindy Dunagan, and Heather Wells discuss the Creator’s instructions for what warrior princesses can do to slay the dragon of sin.
