Martyrs & Medieval Women: In today’s episode we start off with more amazing female martyrs that we simply could not overlook! Then we transition into the Medieval Period, where we get to know a couple remarkable godly mothers--Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine, and Monica, the mother of St. Augustine. While mothers may sometimes find themselves operating behind-the-scenes, their impact is profound and far-reaching--and Helena and Monica are beautiful examples of that!

Early Church Martyrs Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

Early Church Martyrs: Today we begin a multi-part series on women of the Early Church period and Middle Ages! During the first centuries of church history, Christians were often persecuted mercilessly at the hands of various Roman Emperors and officials, courageously laying their lives down for their faith in Jesus. Today we will look at several women whose radiant witness in the face of death made an enormous impact for the Kingdom of God. The church father Tertullian declared, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church,” and that certainly holds true for these inspiring women!

Edith Schaeffer Sep 28, 2021

Edith Schaeffer (1914-2013): Debbie Alnutt is back again with Jasmine to share about another woman that they think you should know about, Edith Schaeffer! Edith was the wife of Christian theologian and philosopher, Francis Schaeffer. Together, they co-founded L’Abri Ministries at their home in Switzerland--a ministry that profoundly impacted European and American youth in the 1950s-1960s. While the Lord used Francis to awaken a generation to the dangers of modern secularism, He used Edith to show broken young people the beauty of Christian living within the setting of family and home life. She authored twenty books including The Tapestry & L’Abri, both based on their life together. We love Edith Schaeffer and we know that you will too!
