The average age of trafficking victims is 12 years old, and another person becomes a victim every 30 seconds (Source: thea21campaign.org). In 2012, … [Read more...]

"Girls, we need to know this information." -- Beth Moore Let's face it---ignorance can be bliss. But God calls us to more than ignorance.  Proverbs 3:13 says, "Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding..." Take a look at this clip from Beth Moore's, The Patriarchs: Encountering the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Beth leads us through ten weeks in Genesis, watching … [Read more...]

Did you catch part one and part two of The Chat with Priscilla last week? If you missed it, it's not too late! We monitor our children’s music, what they read, what they watch. But what about us?

Others … [Read more...]

Scars. We each have them. Physical scars. Emotional scars. And even spiritual scars. Galatians 6:14-17 says, "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. Peace and mercy to all who follow … [Read more...]

Over the next several months, we thought it would be fun to introduce to you to the six wonderful ladies across the United States (and Canada!) who have spent, and will continue to spend, the next several months connecting with women's ministry leaders to tell them about both the Priscilla Shirer Live and Living Proof Live simulcasts! The first lady we'd like to introduce you to is Wendy … [Read more...]

The following post is an excerpt from Mary Jo Sharp's new Bible study, "Why Do You Believe That? A Faith Conversation." You can also read more from Mary Jo at her blog.  As a young minister's wife, I began doubting my faith in God. I think several factors played into this doubt.
