Several weeks ago, we at Arise decided to look into the Old Testament prophets for our monthly Inductive Bible Study. We’ve been meeting with a group of women in a home, and it’s been so lovely to watch them dig into the Word and have a desire to truly engage with the Bible and study it together. I was scheduled…
“Children are not a distraction from the more important work, they are the most important work.” – Dr. John Trainer Let’s be honest. We just weren’t prepared for this.
