As an equipping ministry it’s not always easy to measure or track results. How can you tell when women are equipped? Recently, I’ve been delighted to see our Wednesday Night bible study deepen their commitment to equip women with the Word. Led by teacher, Denise Davis, they’re transitioning to an inductive study method for Colossians. …
A Sure and Steadfast Hope
By Stacey Kuszak I talked with several women last week at the brunch and asked them how their Christmas was. The overwhelming response was "Iʼm glad itʼs over." Carey alluded to this last week, but we arrive in the New Year exhausted, donʼt we? What is it about the end of December that leaves us …
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff?
It's always good to be back to routine . . . especially when that routine includes Tuesday Morning Equip Her. The first Tuesday back is always very special, not only because of the beautiful decorations and the delicious food, but also the sweet chance to worship with all of you. I'm so thankful for Carey …
Living in Unity
Last month, my husband and I took a quick trip to Florida, mostly to get away from our Nebraska winter for a few days. While we were there we spent a day at Epcot. If you’ve been to Epcot you know it was designed to look somewhat like a giant World’s Fair. Its purpose is …
Trapped by the Lies
By Julie Luse Why do we think we can do this on our own? Why do we think when things get rough and our soul gets weak that we can pull ourselves out of it on our own? A couple of weeks ago Brian Clark gave a great message on Galatians 5 & 6 talking …
Seeing Clearly
This past Tuesday another of our MUMS, Bonnie Aksamit, shared her story with us. If you were there, you heard the incredible journey she's been on and the many ways God has led her through tragedies and challenges. I was especially encouraged to hear how the women of Equip Her have been instrumental in her healing and …
Our King of Kings
by Carey Helmink I love to read. Probably my favorite genre is historical fiction—although I really do love The Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter series which I’m pretty sure are NOT historical fiction (although those worlds seem pretty real to me)—but, regardless, I am a fan of historical fiction. I’m terrible with …
Smoothing Rough Edges
If you missed Sunshine's testimony on Tuesday, I hope you will take a moment and read what she had to say. I find it so encouraging to see the way God uses His Word and the community of believers to smooth the rough edges in all of us. by Sunshine Metschke The question I was …
Unfathomable God
by Carey Helmink I am guessing that most of you know the story of Job – if you are unfamiliar with it, it is an amazing read! After 37 chapters of questions about suffering and tons of misguided advice from Job’s “friends,” God himself takes the stand. Here is just a portion of what He …
Forever Faithful
I love how faithfulness always seems to be a beloved character trait of God for those who have walked with Him for a long time. It makes sense, though, because proving yourself trustworthy takes time. On Tuesday, we had the privilege of hearing from one of our MUMS who has had a long history with …
