Welcome to part 1 of our three part series on PRAYER! Kicking off the series with our brand new Lifeway Girls author, Josephine Rose. This first episode sets the stage of how to reframe our prayer lives into a conversation with God, rather than some religious checklist item.

Being in ministry can make prayer feel like another obligation, but let's not forget that it's the Creator of the universe who simply wants to talk to us!

Resource Highlight: Talking to God

One of the best parts of finding community among women in youth ministry is the feeling that you're not alone! (and you're not crazy either...) Sometimes the lives we live seem too comical to be real, so why not be in good company, laugh together, and enjoy stories told by other women in ministry.

We might just have the best, craziest, greatest jobs on the planet!

If we are going to be women who prioritize real, authentic relationships, we have to be willing to have honest conversations with those close to us.

In this episode, we’ll talk about who should be in your close circle, how to move beyond surface-level conversations, and what it looks like to truly validate and support friends in tough seasons. Most importantly, we’ll challenge ourselves to be vulnerable enough to answer, “How are you?” with honesty.

If you’re ready to grow deeper in your relationships, let's get started!

Here's your homework from this episode: check on your people! Find a friend to reach out to and connect with them in a real, authentic way.
