From Sara Felushko: The Beloved and Dignified Women's Conference is happening March 28-29, and you don’t want to miss this life-changing event. With over 50 incredible speakers, we’ll be diving into the real, raw, and tender journeys that women navigate—from betrayal and divorce to neurodiversity in marriage, chronic illness, tragic loss, motherhood challenges, and more. Each of our speakers will share their story, and though some may still be in the valley, still walking through pain and uncertainty, they have found Jesus meeting them where they are, bringing hope in the midst of hardship. You are not alone in your struggles—there is light even in the darkest places.
We're continue to follow along in the Thread Series "God's People Divided", and this week's theme is on "Judah's Kings". From the podcast:
Even in times of division, God can bring about restoration for the willing. This week, on the Thread Podcast, Hannah and David explore the inspiring stories of Joash and Josiah, who broke cycles of spiritual decay in their generation. Joash was hidden in the temple by his aunt for six years before being crowned king and starting a period of spiritual reform, especially in restoring the temple. Similarly, Josiah, who began his reign at eight years old, rediscovered the book of the law and led major religious reforms to eradicate idolatry, showing significant humility and commitment to God’s commandments.
Question for the church: How do you break the cycle of spiritual decay in your life, and what helps you get out of a 'spiritual funk'? Share your thoughts by replying to this email!
