Christy talks about the importance of helping women understand the kingdom of God. There are only two kingdoms – the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. Every choice we make advances one kingdom or the other. Many women have no understanding of the kingdom of God, so this Well resource handout ‘A Little Bit About the Kingdom of God’ is very useful to explain what the kingdom of God is, how Jesus taught about it extensively, and our role as participants and ambassadors of this kingdom. You can find this resource on our website (yay! you are already here) through the resource tab!

Tarah Todd talks about her excitement to attend the Operation Train Up A Woman conference again, and encourage others who have attended in the past to come back. She explains that training and discipleship is a lifelong process, and that even if some of the material seems familiar, we can always go deeper by paraphrasing, applying, teaching, and defending what we learn. She also mentions that the conference has been updated with new workshops and content, so there is always more to discover. She urges anyone on the fence to talk to Jesus and others about attending, as it is an invaluable opportunity for continued growth in discipleship!

This passage explores the analogy of a weaned child with its mother as a metaphor for our relationship with God. The weaned child is content and trusting, unlike the demanding and fretful infant. Similarly, us as believers should learn to be happy and content in God’s presence, without demanding or fussing, trusting that God will provide what is needed.

Susie Walther’s message at the Well’s June Pop Up!

The Bible has promised and prophesied that the church will apostatize (2 Thessalonians 2). That means people identifying as Christians will fall away from their once held faith and belief in God. They will abandon their previous loyalty to Jesus. People claiming to be Christians will become unrecognizable from the world based on their lifestyles and choices.

There are two types of apostasy: falling away from orthodox (right or true) BELIEF and falling
away from the orthodox PRACTICE of our faith.

Apostasy always starts with an IDEA. Satan didn’t shipwreck humanity through physical power or supernatural might. He simply suggested an idea – did God really say you shouldn’t eat from any tree? Because Satan knows the destructive power of a bad idea.

To protect ourselves from the bad ideas of Satan and culture, we need to:

Take every thought captive
2 Corinthians 10:5

Test every spirit
1 John 4:1

Hold on for dear life to the biblical message about Jesus, the Gospel, and His Kingdom
1 John 2:24-26

We don’t need to fear the prophecy about apostasy! We just need to stay faithful to God, His Word, His people, and His way of living, and the ministry He’s given each of us to do, which can protect us against the slow fade of apostasy.
