#8: Transparency And Vulnerability

In episode 8, we discuss the how’s and why’s of transparency and vulnerability. Being open and honest with church family is often appealing in theory, but we understand that sometimes the journey of getting there can be challenging and uncomfortable. Questions such as “how much to share” “who to share with” “how do I even start” can easily become discouraging. That is why in this episode we share practical ways of connecting with and creating a culture of vulnerability with your church family and some of the many ways we have seen the fruit of this in our own lives. Our prayer is that you find this helpful in the future building of beautiful relationships with your church family!

#67: Confession and Vulnerability *LIVE*

Kinship LIVE! In August, Bethany Baptist Church had its first women's conference . It was a joy to be present among women that wanted to be open and kill sin so that they aren't overtaken by it. We did our first live episode in front of a live audience. Also, we had more than two listeners!

#5: Dating (Purpose and Expectations)

In today's episode we tackle the wide world of dating . It's so wide we had to do two episodes and even then there's still so much to talk about. As married women now, we take a look at what dating was for us and how it could be for Christians. The four of us dated differently and that's ok! We all have our ideals and convictions that lead us to speak on the subject, but none of us claim to have THE answer in how to date biblically. We would all agree Christ Jesus must not be ignored and should dictate what parameters to set. It is wisdom issues such as these that make dialogue and encouragement among church women so vital to growth in every area of our lives. Hope you pass it along to your church family.
