12 Daring Women of the Bible Video Study: Real Women, Real Trials, Real Triumphs — Lisa Harper, Margaret Feinberg, Bianca Juarez Olthoff, Chrystal Evans Hurst, Karen Ehman, Courtney Joseph Fallick, Sherry Harney

In this twelve-session video Bible study, some of today's best-loved Christian authors and speakers look at the spiritual lessons learned from twelve daring women in the Bible and what they mean for you today.

As you look at each of these women’s lives, you will discover how to:

Apply biblical lessons to your own modern-day struggles.
Live through your failures as well as your successes.
Draw near to God in a world filled with trials.
Find lasting contentment in every situation.
Overcome rejection and insecurity . . . and much more.

So Long, Normal

Have you ever found yourself paralyzed by fear in the inevitable changes of life? Do you grip tightly onto any sense of normalcy, predictability, security, and control? Our attachment to everything remaining the same can be an obstacle that prevents us from thriving when things change. Untether your joy and peace from “normal” and experience the abundant life God intends.

Nothing about God and his story in Scripture is normal. The same God who created the universe calls us to something abnormal, a life experience beyond our fears and the things we cling on to for comfort. So why continue to tether ourselves to predictable circumstances knowing that we can live an abundant, adventurous life in Christ?

Bible teacher Laura Story guides us as we leave behind our attachments to the many “normal” things of daily life and move confidently toward the kind of freefall faith that God defines in Scripture.

In her confessional, conversational style, Laura weaves her own personal stories with examples from Scripture of characters whose lives were upended by unexpected (and undesired) change. Leaving, loving, or losing our “normal” is not the end of the world, rather the beginning of a new adventure with God who longs to show us the possibilities of more when we let go and trust Him.

Women's Ministries—Unlimited!

More than you imagined

Our world is changing rapidly, and so are the needs of women. We as Christians must be relevant to those we want to reach. Women's Ministries—Unlimited! emphasizes the unlimited opportunities open to women for ministry in their local churches and communities. Every woman should be ministered to according to her need, and every born-again woman should be encouraged to find her place of ministry within the body of Christ.

It's more than a label, it's a lifestyle.

Women have special gifts from God, one or more talents that He has blessed them with. Women's Ministries helps women find their gifts, and then matches them to needs in the churches or communities, and empowers them to serve others with their talents.

A variety of Ministry Groups can help teach biblical principles of leadership and practical tools for reaching and ministering to the women of this unique generation and diverse culture.

Tiffany — Sexual abuse ministry

It's shocking to discover that many women have been abused at some point in their lives. Tiffany shares, "Our group started a class that will help survivors of this horrible tragedy find the joy of God that might have been missing from their lives. We use the Word of God as a guide to begin rebuilding the emotional damage these women suffered sometimes 20 or 30 years earlier."

Patty — Snuff Out Cancer prayer and support ministry

Patty tells about her ministry. "One of every eight women, or 190,000 women, will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in America alone. Our church is providing prayer support for women struggling with the fear and depression this issue brings to them personally and within their families."

Pam — Creative Friendzy

"Women love to be creative, so the Lord dropped it in my heart to start a ministry called "Creative Friendzy." Pam describes Creative Friendzy as "taking women's natural tendencies to be busy and to do creative things, and putting them in a spiritual context. We take these talents and put them into an avenue that will encourage others."

It's more than a project, it's a purpose.

Our purpose is to fulfill God's purpose. Paul wrote to the Galatians, "Through love serve one another." Every born-again woman should have at least one ministry where she is involved in serving others. Through Women's Ministries many opportunities exist where every woman can be motivated to find her place of service. If you are not involved, ask God where He would have you begin.
