Whether you’re a coach’s wife, the wife of a professional athlete, a pastor’s wife, the wife of a CEO, a military wife, or a college administrator’s wife, you have unique challenges to navigate that differ from the struggles of other women.

31 Days of Praying for Your Children During a Move
31 short prayers for families in transition. Each day begins with a verse for reflection.
Whether this is your first move or your tenth, there are a few things that you likely dread every time the moving process begins. One of the things that tops our list is breaking the news to our kids that they have to say goodbye to yet another home.
Even if they have only settled into a community for a short season, what our kids know is always better than facing the unknown. It’s in these hard times that we may question if we’re making the right decisions.
I hope that by spending time praying over your kids this next month, God will comfort you and your children as you prepare to move and enter a new community.
Finding a new normal is never easy, but it is always possible with God.
Embracing Holy Interruptions: How Jesus Used Mundane Moments to Love People Deeply
As Christ’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20), we’re all called to “make disciples of all nations” wherever we live. God invites us to partner with him and live on mission every day, even in the mundane moments of life. We do this when we love people as Jesus taught the disciples to do, without stipulations.
Embracing Holy Interruptions: How Jesus Used Mundane Moments to Love People Deeply is a six-week Bible study that teaches people how to develop a disciple-making movement.
This is not a step-by-step instruction manual.
Jesus modeled using mundane moments to love people, build tension, and point them to God in a way that caused many of them to step from a curiosity about God to a fully surrendered faith. We can adapt his methods and learn from the examples in the Gospels today. This study aims to help people keep their eyes on Jesus and improve their inductive Bible reading skills while also learning to love their neighbors to the best of their ability. This 6-week study is available in both print and Kindle formats.
