How does Christ’s office of priest affect you personally? How does Christ’s office of king affect you personally? How does understanding who Jesus is and what he has done lead you to worship?

Today we get to share our very first Journeywomen Live event that was recorded this past summer at The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference. As you’ll hear, we got to sit down and chat with Jen Wilkin and Melissa Kruger about one of our favorite topics here at Journeywomen: mentoring! We pray this episode encourages you to ask the Lord to give you eyes to see women in your local context who might be able to come alongside you, or who you might be able to come alongside and encourage to know and love God more! FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What impact has mentoring had on your own walk with the Lord? How can you lean into your local church and pursue deeper relationships with the women there? What areas of spiritual life are you seeking to grow in? Who in your local church might you look to or ask for help in that area? How might you seek to abide more deeply in Christ, that you might know him more? How are you currently looking to the Spirit of God to actively grow you in your faith?   FOR MORESubscribe: iTunes | AndroidFollow Us: Instagram | FacebookSupport the podcast by writing a review Interviews do not imply Journeywomen’s endorsement of all writings and positions of the interviewee or any other resources mentioned.  Affiliate links used are used where appropriate.

Today we have the joy of learning from Dr. David Filson on one of the most beautiful aspects of Old Testament literature - the covenants. Dr. Filson is a father and a pastor. He has been in pastoral ministry for over thirty years, and has served at his current church in Nashville for the last decade. We pray this conversation will truly help you see Jesus in all of Scripture and that it serves to remind you of God’s steadfast, unshakable covenantal love for his people.   FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How does God relate to man? What role does Christ play in the covenant relationship between us and God? How does the covenant story (from Adam to Christ) help you better understand your salvation?

Last week, we discussed creation and the rebellion of man, and today we’re digging deeper into the reality of our rebellion with Dr. Rebecca DeYoung. Rebecca DeYoung has extensively researched the topic of sin, and while sin and rebellion might not seem like the most encouraging topics, we hope you’ll see in this conversation that as we grow in awareness of our brokenness, we only grow in our recognition and awe of God’s grace to us despite our sin! We pray that as you listen to this conversation you come to a deeper understanding of what God has rescued us from.  FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How might better understanding your sin be a help to you and spur you on towards Christlikeness? Are there patterns of thought or rhythms of desire you’ve fallen into that are thwarting the good life God intends for you? How does Christ having paid the penalty for your sin change how you now live and fight your sin? How does remembering how much God loved you, even in your sin, change how you move towards and engage those around you in love? What are you going to do or implement as a result of what you’ve learned this week?  FOR MORESubscribe: iTunes | AndroidFollow Us: Instagram | FacebookSupport the podcast by writing a review Interviews do not imply Journeywomen’s endorsement of all writings and positions of the interviewee or any other resources mentioned.  Affiliate links used are used where appropriate.

Today we have the privilege of getting to know Dr. Hans Madueme, the associate professor of theological studies at Covenant College.

We pray that as you listen to this conversation you grow in your knowledge and your love for God and that it makes you eager to pick up your Bible to know and love him more!   FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How, why, and for what purpose did God create us? How did Christ save us from our sin? How does your understanding of the imago dei affect how you view your brothers and sisters in Christ? What about how you view non-Christians? How does understanding your sin affect how you see and receive the redemptive work of Christ?

He is the author of more than 50 books, including Desiring God, Don’t Waste Your Life, and Providence, the brand new book that we are going to dive into today. If you know much about him, you know there’s nobody better than John Piper to speak on the topic of God’s Providence. Our hope is that this episode will offer you an opportunity to reflect upon and meditate on the providence of God.   FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What feelings does the topic of God’s providence elicit in you? Does it make you feel comforted? Awed? Encouraged? Overwhelmed? Thankful? All of history, including eternity past and running forward to eternity future, points to the goal of the glory of God. What steps can you take in your life to magnify and point to God’s glory?  How does your understanding of God’s providence lead you to awe and worship? What do you think about the idea that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him? How does your understanding of God’s providence increase your satisfaction in him?

Where do you see the Trinity explained most clearly in Scripture? Perhaps consider memorizing a few of these passages. How does your understanding of the Trinity affect your faith? Your prayers?
