This podcast is hosted by the women’s ministry of Harvest Bible Church in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Our mission is to glorify God by making Him known to a culture that’s been turned upside down. We have a passion to begin bringing biblical reform to womanhood, by helping women think Christianly in all seasons of life. We break down current trends and seek to bring biblical clarity to those challenges. Above all, Our prayer is that this podcast will help women know God and worship God, resulting in transformed hearts and minds. And we all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Ep 86: Cliquey or Considerate?
3 days ago
3 days ago
We had some fun with this podcast after recognizing that each of us say "clique" a little bit differently. Google didn't give us a clear answer, so we stuck with what we knew best! If you've ever felt excluded because of a clique, or if you've ever wondered if you are crossing the boundary of being cliquey rather than considerate, listen in as we discuss the following questions:
1. Can you give us a clear distinction between close friendships and cliques?
2. When you explain it, it brings me back to high school, but you said you see some of it in the church too. How do cliques manifest themselves within the Christian community?
3. What is the danger of cliques within the church? How do they hurt people?
4. How can we break the habit of gravitating toward the people in our close friend group on a Sunday morning and being more welcoming to others?
5. As a mom of kids in youth groups, and seeing how your children have been intentional in this area, what can you tell moms who are seeing that their kids could be more welcoming?
6. I think we can all identify with feeling left out. It’s not a nice feeling, what counsel can you give to the women who are feeling isolated by the women around them?

Ep 85: Surprised by Hotflashes

This episode was inspired by a few women reaching out to ask us to consider talking about aging, in women. Since, we are all getting a bit older, every day, we thought it'd be a great time to talk about it. Some of the questions we discuss on this episode, were questions submitted by our listeners.
1. How do we embrace the process of growing older in the best way possible?
2. addressing our fears, is very important and something we want to do regularly, first, for the glory of God now, but it will also prepare us for the changes as we age. What are some other biblical principles that we need to embrace?
3. How can we display the fruit of the Spirit when it feels like our hormones are taking over?
4. My question is about being in the sandwich generation. I am married. I have adult children and young grandchildren. I also have an aging mom who is requiring more and more care. What kind of boundaries would be good to have in place to keep these relationships in their proper priority?
5. What should the Christian approach be to aging when it comes to Botox and filler?
6. What do you wish someone had told you about menopause?
7. What helped you through this time?
8. Final tips....

Ep: 82| Body of Christ| Part 3| The Temptation of Isolating
Monday Sep 23, 2024
Monday Sep 23, 2024
In this episode we discuss the difference between intentional isolation, unintentional isolation and loneliness. We are all vulnerable to this, but as Christians we have truth from God's word to help us resist the temptation to isolate, and to live within community. We will discuss the following questions.
1. Can you explain what happens socially and mentally to someone when they remove themselves from community?
2. Can you explain how solitude and isolation are different? Can a Christian have too much solitude?
3. What advice would you give a woman who is struggling with depression or apathy or who doesn't see the point, to still make the effort anyway?

Ep 81: Body of Christ| Part 2| Cultivating Community
Monday Sep 09, 2024
Monday Sep 09, 2024
We have been designed for community, but it's not always natural or easy. Community is about cultivating relationships that models the gospel- it will be hard, there will be challenges, it will require humility, repentance and forgiveness. Listen as we discuss the following questions:
1. What does it mean to be in community? Can you give some biblical examples of this?
2. Many people find a great deal of fulfillment by belonging to a community. How is a church community different than, say, a sports community, or arts community?
3. Why is a Christian church community important to the life of the believer?
4. What does belonging to a meaningful Christian community look like?
5. Can you share some practical things we can actively do to ensure we are plugging ourselves into a community that will be a blessing to us as well as to others.
6. What is Church Discipline and how does it help build and protect Christian community?
7. What would you say is unique about our community at Harvest and how has it been cultivated, either intentionally or unintentionally?
8. What are some cautions that we should have about gatherings that mimic the church but perhaps don’t follow the biblical model of eldership and authority?
And a fun bonus question!!!
