Do you ever wish you could spend more time in the Word, but you're just so busy taking care of your home and family that you don't know how you possibly can? Yeah, I've been there. I'm not sure what it was about my youngest, but I was so exhausted when I was pregnant with her! And even after she was born, she did NOT want to be put down for a second! It. was. exhausting. Forget about trying to get anything done... It was all I could do just to keep the babies clean(ish), fed, and happy! And even now that my kids are a bit older (school aged), it can still be a real struggle to fit it all in. In fact, just this morning alone... I have one kid home sick from school (and I totally forgot to call until the school called me wondering where he was! learn more...
15 Great Women of the Bible Every Christian Woman Should Study
Exciting news! This November, we're running a brand new series on Great Women of the Bible and the lessons they can teach us as we study their stories. It's been years since I've done any type of "series" on Equipping Godly Women, but this is one I'm incredibly excited to do. You see, here at Equipping Godly Women I LOVE sharing my best tips and tricks for helping you be ALL IN as a Christian woman, wife and mother. But... I'm only one person. I only know so much.

That's why I'm so excited for this new blog series! Here's learn more...
10 Best Bible Studies for Women to Help You Grow in Faith
Looking for the best Bible Studies for Women? Here are 10 great topical, book and daily Bible study books you're sure to love! If you've read the Equipping Godly Women website for any length of time now, you know that I'm a huge believer in daily Bible study. Whether that means simply learning how to read the Bible every day, or you actually take the time to dive in deep and learn how to study the Bible, I'm a huge believer in making daily Bible study a priority. In fact, I even created a Quiet Time Planning Guide to help busy Christian women just like you get in the habit -- no matter how busy you are! Up until this point, however, I've always just read the Bible for myself and by myself. I mean, sure, I hear it at church too, but I really don't read learn more...

Want a Better Relationship With God? Start here.
Do you ever feel like your relationship with God isn't as close as you'd like it to be? Recently I had an Equipping Godly Women reader email to ask: "I want to have a better relationship with God, but it's been so long... I don't know where to start!" This is a great question! And honestly, it doesn't matter if you've walked away from God for a while, or if you've been seeking a good relationship with God for a while... We ALL have work to do when it comes to having a better relationship with God! And yes, just like growing in any relationship, growing in our relationship with God DOES require "work." This doesn't mean we can do it all ourselves of course. We obviously can't earn our salvation or "fix" ourselves without His help. BUT we learn more...
Are You Too Judgmental? Here’s How to Stop.
According to this study conducted by Barna Group, 87% of 16- to 29-year-olds believe that that present-day Christianity is judgmental. In all fairness, the study is a few years old now, and the results may have been different if the researches asked people of all age ranges, but honestly, I'm not surprised. I would have answered the same. Christians (just like most of the rest of the population) ARE judgmental. Sure, sometimes it comes from a passion for the truth. We want to see God's laws upheld and we're not afraid to fight for what we believe in. But not always. Sometimes (often times), it's because we're prideful, stubborn, and ignorant about what life is really like for other people both inside and outside of our church walls. (Myself learn more...
