Young women have been growing up with an indoctrination of what womanhood is and what it should be. They've been taught everything that is in direct opposition to the Word of God. Young women who want to be different from the world are rare but they are real. Audrey Broggi will often be joined by her daughter and her daughters-in-law who desire to be discerning in a day when everything seems to go against God's design.

When I recorded the first "Launching" episode, I didn't know it would evolve into a four part series, but here we are. In this week's episode, I share some raw emotions as to what it was like for me launching our last two children from the Broggi home. And as I did, my thoughts gathered around Psalm 100 as I closed out the podcast. Who knows? I may…

I had a feeling I wanted to do a follow up after last week's podcast. And even after recording this week, I want to do more. Why? Because every single one of us begins launching our children as soon as we find out we're carrying them. We launch them from the womb into the world and then we launch them every time they say a word or they begin to tak…

This week on the podcast I exhort us to be women of conviction from God's Word. We must be women who devote ourselves fully to the Lord no matter what our age or season of life. We must not be women who are so pre-occupied with ourselves and things that don't matter that we miss the things that do. I pray this episode helps you see the difference. …

She wants the world to know there is no way any other man can get to her, can steal her heart, and steal her affections. She stands with her husband, no …

Though weddings are beautiful, they are not nearly as beautiful as a marriage that has stood the test of time and commitment. Real beauty emerges after some heartache. Real beauty is when a couple is still dancing after 25, 35, 45, 65 years together. Real beauty emerges when they are forgiving of each other's sins, and when they don't see ugly, eve…

When I taught this chapter, I titled it "Where Did Their Love Go?" Their love really didn't go anywhere - it's just that the bride allowed it to fade. Like her, sometimes we allow our love to fade. We drift from the one we love. We sometimes wander, we sometimes forget, and even sometimes don't want to be bothered with the one whom we love the most…
