Join us on this week's episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast as we use Proverbs 31: 22-24 as a launchpad for a discussion about the importance of celebrating (not judging!) other women, seeking out the beautiful things in life, and find out how creating a Pinterest board can enhance your prayer life!

Countless people are walking around with unresolved childhood trauma, and many may not even realize it. In this week's interview episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, we sit down with Patrick Morley, author of From Broken Boy to Mended Man: A Positive Plan to Heal Your Childhood Wounds and Break the Cycle. In our conversation, Patrick shares his own story of turning to God for healing after realizing he had been unknowingly living with the burdens and consequences of a traumatic childhood.

We're sailing in uncharted territories with this week's episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast as author Sabrina McDonald joins us to talk about a topic we have never discussed before on the podcast: blended families.

Sabrina candidly shares the high highs and low lows she and her husband have experienced during the process of blending their own families, and reveals some of the ways God has met them every step of the way to bring healing and beauty out of tragedy and loss.

*Just a reminder, we're back after a long summer sabbatical full of changes, including moving a couple of our kids to college and one of our families moving out of Alaska (listen to the intro to episode 314 for more details)! The episodes you'll be hearing over the next several weeks were recorded in the spring, so some of the references might be outdated but the messages are all extremely relevant. Enjoy!* What do you think of when you hear about "the Proverbs 31 woman"? For some, it conjures up images of an unattainable goal, or even guilt. For others it is weaponized against women who don't fit the mold of what they think a Christian woman should be. Join us over the next several weeks as we discuss and pray through Proverbs 31. We'll seek to understand this iconic passage of scripture and apply it to our lives in ways that will deepen our understanding of who God is and who he has created us to be... and some of what we uncover might just surprise you!

Do you ever read Proverbs 31 and feel guilty or inadequate, wondering how one woman could possibly embody all those virtues? You’re not alone. Many Christian women feel the same, but what if this passage wasn’t meant to be a checklist of perfection for just one individual, but a celebration of women collectively? In this episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast, we unpack how Proverbs 31 is a call to embrace our unique God-given strengths, and how, through prayer and faith, we can find resilience in every season of life.
