Women in the Church with Allyson Todd

Influencers aplenty, memes a dime a dozen, self-help books lining the shelves of bookstores, and YouTube tutorials for every tip under the sun and it’s still never enough. Why do the messages like “You're the hero of your story” and “Trust yourself” still lead to anxiety, fear, uncertainty, and despair for most women? Andrea Burke will sit down with a different guest each week to discuss things like mental health, beauty, women in the church, "toxic" relationships, Instagram influencers, and so much more. We invite a guest each week to talk about big cultural issues and what the Bible has to say to those things. We know in Christ we truly are good enough for this never enough world.

From the first episode I listened to, I was struck by the powerful truths shared here. I’m really grateful for this podcast!!

Powerful!

The hosts and guests share from their hearts in a way that encourages and sometimes challenges me. My favorite episode so far was on friendship with men - I wish I’d had it 20 years ago as a teen! The best part of the podcast is the frequent refrain that we have the Holy Spirit within us - we don’t have to rely on any one guide (or podcast) in the world around us to spell out a rule for every situation or set a bar at a specific point on the continuum. I need to hear that reminder daily. Keep up the good work, sisters - yes, it is good enough!

Truth and grace, straight up

Good Enough

They have made it their goal to bring the Gospel straight into the heart of the home to mothers, tackling questions about discipleship, discipline, bible study, you name it. Both of them have a genuinely authentic way of writing about the real stuff of parenting while also weaving in the truth of the Gospel. Risen Motherhood book —https://www.risenmotherhood.com/bookRM Podcast — https://www.risenmotherhood.com/podcastNYT Article "The Relentlessness of Modern Parenting" – https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/25/upshot/the-relentlessness-of-modern-parenting.htmlWeekly ChallengePaul Tripp talks about this in his book parenting: “The sin, weakness, rebellion, or failure of your children is never an imposition on your parenting. It is never an interruption. It is never a hassle.  It is always grace. God loves your children. He has put them in a family of faith, and in relentless grace, he will reveal their need to you again and again so that you can be his tool of awareness, conviction, repentance, faith, and change. And because in these moments he asks you to forsake your agenda for his, this opportunity of grace is not just for your children, it’s for you as well.” https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/parenting-its-never-an-interruption/This week, when you see your children’s sin, ask God how you can be an ambassador of the Gospel in their hearts — to be a tool for him. This applies whether your children are 2 or 25. And if you don’t have children, remember that you’re in the family of God. You will witness the sin of children of God this week. How can you be an ambassador of grace? Second challenge, if you’ve bought into the “relentlessness” of modern parenting like the NYT article talks about, how can you step back from the race of society and find ways to do more of what Deuteronomy talks about — recenter your parenting around the Gospel.ScriptureDeut. 6:6-9Colossians 3:21John 19:26-27
