Women

The Book of 1 Samuel opens with the story of a man named Elkanah and his barren wife Hannah. Here are ten things women today can learn from Hannah's story.

Instead of resigning themselves to take less of a role in church ministry, women over 50 can engage in some great ministries that not only benefit them, but the local body as a whole.

While feminism is well represented within Christianity, feminists have frequently argued that the Bible relegates women to second-class status. Yet biblical teaching on women is not only defensible but is based on absolute truth.

Mental Health recovery isn't a one-size fits all solution. It takes time. It takes adaptation. And it takes realizing that sometimes what worked yesterday for our anxiety or depression might not work today. We are incredibly complex and dynamic creatures hand-crafted in the image of God, so why should we try to limit how we can heal?

The pain of losing a dear friend is unbearable, but after being stabbed in the back by a trusted confidant, choosing a friend becomes more cautious. What are some biblical directives for avoiding being or making fake, self-absorbed friends?

It always amazes me how much “stuff” and “junk” we accumulate. I had this experience recently when we hired a junk company to come and pick up some things that we couldn’t put in the dumpster.

Jesus saw a woman who took a huge risk to get close enough to Him to experience His healing. He saw a woman who longed for the healing only God can give. What can we learn from this woman? 

Friends are people who are placed in our lives as extended family. They are with us through trials and tribulations. They're there for fun times, to extend advice. A friend is someone you can be your authentic self with. They are someone you can trust and someone who trusts you. They provide companionship to help avoid loneliness. Friends wear many hats and play many roles. So it would seem preposterous to envy their good fortune, right? Well, unfortunately, this happens more often than not. Sometimes it's a conscious thing done for different reasons. Other times it's done subconsciously. Whether we want to admit it or not, we've all glared at a friend with the green-eyed monster for something, knowing that we shouldn't have. When anything good occurs in a friend's life, it should be celebrated by other friends with a pure heart and a clear mind. If you find yourself struggling with being envious of a friend's prosperity, look at the list below to discover simple ways to replace envy with joy.

Yet He didn’t always do things in the timing or the way that many would think best. I love it when God works outside our own box of thinking.

Have you ever questioned if God loves you? When trials mount, discouragement hits, a full schedule overwhelms, or when you simply don’t feel loved, it’s good to turn to the Bible—God’s truth—to help remember God loves you.

If there is something we can learn from Tamar's story—it is this: life does go on after assault. We are not defined by this. We are so much more than our negative experiences.

Only two women are named in Hebrews 11’s “Hall of Faith”: Sarah, the wife of Abraham, and Rahab, the harlot of Jericho. Humanly speaking, Sarah and Rahab had nothing in common, but they both had exercised saving faith in the true and living God.

It’s easy to quickly judge generations and choices, but it’s not our duty. The one thing we can be certain about time is that it’s fleeting, and our time to love on people in the name of Jesus is limited.

It’s not often in our history books that women are highlighted. Christian women, even less so. But, there are many Christian women in our past who shaped their communities, their countries, and even the world for the better. For each of them, their faith played a major role in their outlook on the world. And their impact can still be felt today.

Here are 20 Christian women in our past who shaped their communities, their countries, and even the world for the better. Thin

Courage and deep-rooted confidence was exhibited by each one of these women as they stood in the face of stark adversity and the death of their deepest longing and hope.
