Resources for Women

There are a lot of idols competing for the affection of a woman's heart today, and more than a few voices shouting from their corners varying opinions about femininity, motherhood, keeping the home and walking with Christ. The blogs and books and resources we long to connect with and learn from can be a minefield of misinformation, easily drawing our eyes off of biblical truths and pointing them to fleeting, cultural buzzwords. 

But as women and as a followers of Christ, we embrace the roles God designed for us as wives and mothers, leaders and learners, and humble image-bearers of God in our homes, workplaces, and spheres of influence. We lean, first and foremost, on God's word to teach us how we ought to live; and second on biblical and godly authors who themselves draw on God's word to exhort and teach those same lessons. This resource page exists to help women searching for personal study and supplemental works to find sound, gospel-centered sources from which to learn.
