#1 Courtney Reissig, Author & Bible Teacher Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Join Courtney Moore and Missie Branch as they interview Courtney Reissig, author, wife, mom of 4 boys, and Bible teacher.

Courtney walks us through how she moved from blogger to author of 3 books:
Accidental Feminist: Restoring our Delight in God’s Good Design
Glory in the Ordinary: Why Your Work in the Home Matters
Teach Me to Feel: Worshiping Through the Psalms in Every Season of Life

She discusses her reluctance to become a stay-at-home-mom and what the Titus 2:5 admonition for women to be workers at home really means.

How do she and her husband practically work out the balancing act of kids and home, along with her writing and speaking deadlines?

Courtney talks about the vital role that others played in her life to affirm her calling and gifts and how as Christians, we must offer that same life-giving encouragement to other women in our lives.

She discusses the guilt many women feel as they strive to do it all but fall short, and the freedom women have in Christ to pursue their unique God-given callings. There is no one-size-fits-all Christian womanhood.
