Praying Christian Women – Details, episodes & analysis

*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episodes you'll be hearing over the next several weeks were recorded in the spring, so some of the references might be outdated but the messages are all extremely relevant.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!*

This week's guest on the podcast is no stranger to brokenness, but her ministry hinges on finding beauty not only in spite of it, but within the broken places of life.

Crystal Anderson writes at The Mom Blog, and in 2023 released a children's book called And Then There Were Five, based on the true story of the adoption of their son John Rudy, who was called to heaven at the age of 25.

Join us for an uplifting discussion about looking for God's hand in the hard things as Crystal shares her own story, and that of her son John Rudy.

You can connect with Crystal and find out more about her blog and book at CrystalAnderson.net.

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!

In this week's episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast  Brooke McGlothlin from Million Praying Moms and Stacey Thacker join us to talk about their book "Unraveled: Hope For the Mom At the End Of Her Rope."

No matter what season of motherhood you find yourself in, this conversation is guaranteed to bring you hope and encouragement. We talk about how to invite God into the challenges of motherhood, how to adjust expectations for yourself through different seasons of mothering, and how to recognize and move past some of the things we strive for and lean on instead of God to get us through the sometimes chaotic seasons of motherhood. 

Visit UnraveledMom.com to get your copy of Brooke and Stacey's book.

Have you ever been tempted to pray curses on your enemies? If so, we're guessing you've wondered whether it's something God is okay with. There are many imprecatory psalms that express a desire for God to bring justice to pass...and in some cases the author goes into great detail about how he'd like to see his enemies suffer! So does that mean it's something we should do as Christians? Join us today for an in-depth conversation about what the Bible has to say (and some of our own thoughts) about praying curses on your enemies.

We're really excited about this special episode of the Praying Christian Women podcast as we welcome our friend (and author of The Living Table) Abby Turner back to the show to talk about the unique ins and outs, struggles and benefits of being a "praying single woman". We've heard from listeners who feel like many resources for Christian women speak primarily to married women, so we wanted to dedicate an entire episode to talking about how singleness can affect your prayer life. Our hope is that this episode will be an encouragement to the single ladies out there, and will give non-singles some insights into how to pray for and support the single women in their lives more effectively.
