Our fruitful summer of guest writers continues with Annie Rohde sharing this week. If you look back on the pictures I took my senior year of high school and freshman year of college, I am holding up a peace sign in 80-90% of them. One of my high school teachers gave me a book called …
Not Far from Home
By emily n. estes There’s a path home my memory has rooted to it’s core. No matter which direction I travel, I can discern whether home is North, East, South, or West of where I stand. I know when I’m far away and I know when I am not far from home. There is something …
A Piece of Control
Think with me for a few minutes about the key players in your life. If you and God are at the top of that list, who is in control? I learned a valuable lesson about control as we headed into this session of classes. Over the Christmas break, I carved out that week between Christmas …
Quiet Hope
I hope you notice that your Prayer Time at Equip Her is about carrying on a conversation with God together. God’s Word to guide us, His Spirit to lead us, His women to encourage us.

Be Reminded
When our dear friend, Carey Helmink led us in music this week she opened our worship time with these thoughts ... One of the most beautiful things that God commands his people to be involved in is corporate worship. You would likely not be surprised to hear me say that given my role here at …
Beginning
It's just lovely to be able to meet together again as new classes begin. Excitement and energy are always part of beginning. After all, this is the main event we've been preparing over the summer . . . Hooray for growing rosters! Cheers to room set ups and workbooks all settled in place! In the …
Keep Watch
When I was a girl, I loved to sift through magazines. My mom always had Good Housekeeping and Better Homes & Gardens sitting around. When I was old enough to choose my own magazines, I'd pick up a Teen Beat with pull-out posters in the center. If there was a Shawn Cassidy or Leif Garrett …
