Learning from Elisabeth Elliot: A List of Resources

Learning from Elisabeth Elliot: A List of Resources @mferrell

  As a young believer, I longed for someone to take me under their wing and teach me about what it meant to be a Christian. Here I was a wife and mother for many years without Christ and then Jesus gets a hold of my heart and turns my world upside down. I wanted to know what it looked like to live out my life as a Christian wife, mother, and homemaker on a daily basis?  In my searching for Christian resources, one of the first books I came across was Let Me Be a Woman by ... continue reading...


Gently Correcting One Another

Gently Correcting One Another -People are fragile, and we must take great care in speaking truth to one another, especially when we see a sin that needs addressing in one another’s lives. @mferrell

We don’t often think of gentleness as a godly virtue. If we are to correct others God’s Word calls us to do it in a spirit of gentleness. People are fragile, and we must take great care in speaking truth to one another, especially when we see a sin that needs addressing in one another’s lives. Last week I shared a post titled How Do We Handle Correction? As I wrote that post, my mind was on the way my husband gently corrects me. The Lord has gifted him in this area. I’m so thankful for ... continue reading...


Podcast Ep. 42: Some Titus 2 Encouragement Along the Way

by Marci Ferrell
Biblical Womanhood Mentoring Podcast Titus 2

My greatest comfort in this world is that Jesus Christ is enough.  He is enough on the days when everything goes wrong and on the days when it seems that everything is falling apart. @mferrell

As we start getting back into fall and a routine (as we talked about last week at the podcast), I wanted to share a bit of encouragement for all of us today. Who doesn't like to be encouraged? Our time today is just a reminder that no one out there has it all together. We are a continual work in progress in the Lord's hand. If I shared only what I had mastered on this podcast, it would be non-existent ;). So today listen in and be reminded that no one has a perfect marriage, family or home ... continue reading...


EP 29: Where to Begin When You’re Overwhelmed in Caring for Your Home

by Marci Ferrell
Cleaning Encouragement Homemaking Homemaking 101 Series Mentoring Organization Podcast Time Management Titus 2

I know there are many listeners out there drowning in clutter and chaos and you don't know where to begin. My hope is to give you some encouragement and practical steps to begin to get some order in your home. @mferrell

  I’m sharing today from a post I wrote quite awhile back called Where to Begin When You're Overwhelmed, and it was dealing with our home keeping. It’s been a very controversial post and people either have a love or hate relationship with it. I’m hoping you all are in the love camp today because I’m not a fan of being in the hate camp.  Before we begin, I want to lay out a statement here that I want you to remember as we walk through this. What I’m sharing is going to look ... continue reading...


Questions to Examine Yourself to See if You are in the Faith (2 Corinthians 13:5)

by Marci Ferrell
Christian Living Encouragement Evangelism Mentoring Prayer Spiritual Discipleship

it is possible to profess faith in Christ and still be unsaved. Paul exhorts us in 2 Corinthians 13:5 to examine ourselves because the outcome of real faith will show that Christ is indwelling in us by the Holy Spirit and it will result in godly lives that desire to be obedient to the Word of God. @mferrell

  We know that going in for a yearly physical, especially as we age is a good thing. It can catch early symptoms of a health issue before it becomes a problem. Even more important than a physical check-up is a spiritual check-up. It determines the matter of where we spend eternity. It's one of the most important examinations we will ever take. Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in ... continue reading...
