{This is the second post in a series about leading ministry to women in small churches. You can keep up with all the posts here.} Some of my closest friends lead and serve in women's ministry at big churches. They plan events for 350+ women (which, by the way, is more people than we have in our entire church on our high attendance Sundays). Their Bible studies involve hundreds of women. They are doing amazing things. I love hearing how God is moving in their ministries and growing the women they ... [Read More]
Are you serving women in your {smaller} church? This is for you!
{If you've ever felt like your church was too small or you didn't have enough women for a powerful and effective ministry to women, read on.

Book Review: Why Her? by Nicki Koziarz
So one of my favorite parts of this writing/blogging thing is the opportunity to review books. It's a great gig — publishers send you free books and you get to tell the world what you think. A few months ago, I requested a book I'd been wanting to read, Why Her? 6 Truths We Need to Hear When Measuring Up Leaves Us Falling Behind. The book arrived from the lovely folks at B&H Publishing a few days later and I anxiously opened it up to start reading. I made it to page twelve before I ... [Read More]
3 Simple Ways to Reflect on Life
Since October 2017 our family has been running at high speed. And things are finally starting to settle into our normal version of crazy busy. One of the habits I've struggled to develop is cultivating time to reflect, to just be with all my experiences, to lean into the lessons I've learned (and am learning). But this weekend, one of the few weekends we have had with absolutely nothing on our schedule besides the normal church stuff, I made the time to reflect, to look back, and to lean ... [Read More]
