EP 67: The Importance of Christian Fellowship for Women's Spiritual Growth

6/7/2023
In today's podcast episode, I'm discussing the importance of Christian fellowship for women's spiritual growth. Listen in as I read chapter 2 and chapter 6 of my book, Rethinking Fellowship: A Handbook for Hosting Meaningful Women's Ministry Events. Don't miss the startling stats about biblical worldview - you may be shocked to know how few women in the church hold to a biblical worldview! Quote: "Pinterest, social media, and the internet highlight the visual aspects of our women’s ministry events. Images we see as we search for women’s ministry ideas focus on tablescapes, beautiful buffets, photo booths, and stage décor. Rarely do we, or can we, see the biblical lessons taught and learned at women’s ministry fellowship, events, and activities. We’ve been duped into thinking women’s ministry events should be and are supposed to be visually appealing." - Cyndee Ownbey Show notes available at https://womensministrytoolbox.com/the-importance-of-christian-fellowship-for-womens-spiritual-growth/ Rethinking Fellowship is available for purchase from various online retailers including Amazon and the Women's Ministry Toolbox Shop.
