51. Fighting the Urge to Fix Yourself Jan 01, 2025

Show notes

New year, new you? That's not our goal this year!
It's so easy to go into the new year trying to find ways to "fix" things about our bodies, yet what if self-improvement isn't the goal? Rather, faithful obedience and stewardship over what God has given us.
Let's spend this year giving thanks to God for the bodies given to us!

48. The Gap Between Girls Ministry & Women's Ministry with Anne Harrison Dec 09, 2024

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

You might notice how many of your girls who were once connected in youth ministry fall off the map after high school. They aren't connected into the local church, and they likely are not connected into women's ministry or discipleship. So what's the disconnect? Where did we go wrong? Or is the expectations on young women to "fit" the current dynamic of women's ministry off?
This is a must needed conversation in the local church, and we hope this will encourage you to take those first steps in shortening the gap between girls and women's ministry.
Anne Harrison is passionate about connecting women with the God Who loves their souls, with Scripture, and with other women who will encourage them to grow and flourish. She and her husband, Jim, have three sons and a beautiful daughter-in-law! Anne is a graduate of Texas A&M University, holds a Master in Ministry to Women from SEBTS and is currently pursuing a doctorate in Educational Ministry from Dallas Theological Seminary. She loves the local church and served as the Director of Women’s Ministries at First Baptist Church, Wichita Falls, Texas for over a decade. She currently serves on the Lifeway Women’s Event Team, simulcast team, and as a Lifeway trainer. Some of her favorite things include taking long naps on rainy days, short naps on sunny days, and enjoying a cold-brew coffee every day.

46. Your Title in Ministry Matters Nov 25, 2024

What's your title?
Minister. Director. Associate. Assistant. Admin. Super Woman/Ministry Queen?!
Titles can be a tricky or sensitive topic to discuss. There's a tension of wanting to be validated in a position without sounding discontent or entitled. When we know the title that actually matters, the desires or conversations around titles can become Christ-honoring and fruitful.

Whether you're already a mom or feel like this isn't a question you'll be asking for awhile, we hope you'll be encouraged hearing how we've wrestled with this question, navigated our calling when we each found out we'd become a mom, and continue to look to God to be our strength and wisdom in each season He leads us in.

44. What to Do When you Make a Mistake Nov 11, 2024

Send us Fan Mail

If someone hasn't told you this yet, you're going to make a mistake in ministry. Whether it's your students, your boss, parents, or someone else, you'll inevitably disappoint a person and let them down. Even if it's not your intention, you can't be super woman all the time!
So how do we redeem the mistakes we make? How do walk in reconciliation and forgiveness rather than shame and defeat? Glad you asked! Aunt P is back to have this conversation with us and it is SO good.

43. Why Historical Context for Teens? with Kristi McLelland Nov 04, 2024

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Kristi McLelland is BACK as we celebrate the release of her new teen girls Bible study, Luke in the Land! We spend time reflecting on being in Israel recording this study September of 2023, and Kristi shares how and why being in the land changed the way she reads Scripture. It's tempting to view historical and biblical context as unnecessary or simply head knowledge, but Kristi challenges us to consider how the living God transforms our hearts through the context of what we read.

It's always SO sad to end a season of His Glory, Her Good. But we are thrilled to have our last episode be with author and former Lifeway Girls specialist, Mary Margaret West, as we celebrate her new Bible study for teen girls called, Made Worthy!
In this conversation, we talk more than just about her new study! We get honest about how easy it is to tell girls to find their worth in Christ while struggling to believe the truth for ourselves. So what does make us worthy? I'm sure you know the answer, but we hope you walk away from this episode living in light of its truth.
Make sure to order your girls Made Worthy!

Mary Margaret West is passionate about equipping women and girls to dive deeply into God’s Word and live out their calling.
