Yes, all the things!

This is the place for like-minded Sisters in Christ to connect, to go deeper in our faith, develop faith-centered common interests and learn new things as we walk out our faith together in community.

SISTERS’ GATHERINGS

In the early church, gatherings took place in believers’ homes. Sisters’ Gatherings are where we connect to break bread, worship, pray, read and study the scriptures, watch great Christian films, and develop intimacy as Sisters in Christ.

by Priscilla Shirer

All To Him I Freely Give
From Priscilla Shirer comes this fervent appeal and invitation to surrender everything to Jesus. To follow Him not just as your Savior but as your priority, your first love, your Lord. To move beyond being a believer to becoming His disciple.
Because there is a difference.
Salvation is a gift of God. It’s free. It’s grace. It’s the cross. Discipleship comes at a high cost. It’s surrender. It’s effort. It’s a daily choice to lay down your life and follow His. Few believers choose this route, but the ones who do will experience the abundance that only the surrendered life can offer. It’s the one choice standing between you and the life of freedom and fulfillment, of peace and purpose you’ve always wanted. I Surrender All is all about making that choice.
The choice that changes everything.

Black women are the hidden figures in the church. Despite at times being rendered invisible, uninvited, and unprotected in a racist and sexist world, they are valued image-bearers and influential instruments in God’s redemptive plan.

Church Girl invites you, as a Black woman, on a journey from the garden to the present day. Your unique story as a Black woman lies within the grand narrative of Scripture, and the message of the gospel is the light, lens, and love you need to help you see and live as God intends.

Church Girl helps answer some of your most internal pressing questions:

• How do I understand my identity in light of Scripture?
• How should I think about my purpose?
• How can I thrive despite the opposition from racism and sexism?
• How are Black women hurt in the church and how can I heal?
• Why am I always exhausted from working and where can I find real peace and rest?
• How can I flourish in a secular world and live out my faith with conviction and integrity?

With compassion and wisdom, Dr. Sarita Lyons invites Black women to tackle the unique issues they face in the church with prophetic boldness, priestly compassion, a church leader’s wisdom, a counselor's insight, and a sister's relatability and love.

Relentless romance. Fierce warfare. Superior pleasure.Our hearts were designed to enjoy a full and forever happiness, not the pitiful temporary pleasures for which we’re too prone to settle. Pride, envy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust are woefully inadequate substitutes for the wonder, beauty, and affection of God. They will rob you, not ravish you. They will numb you, not heal you. They will slaughter you, not save you.Killjoys was written to lead you deeper in love with our God and further into war against your sin. The truths, warnings, and promises in these pages are meant to chart a life-giving path to greater holiness and greater joy.

"I used to be a lesbian."

In Gay Girl, Good God , author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless, experienced gender confusion, and embraced both masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could?

At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel.

Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

by Thomas Keller

The Prodigal God is a revelation of the very heart of the gospel: God's radical love for sinners of every kind. Taking you and your small group or church beyond the traditional focus on the wayward younger son, Dr. Keller helps you glean insights from each of the characters in Jesus' parable: the irreligious younger son, the moralistic elder son, and the Father who lavishes his love on both. The Prodigal God will challenge the devout and the skeptic alike to see Christianity in a whole new way.

DO SOMETHING

The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'

— Matthew 25:40.

These days it seems like everyone is searching for purpose, when there’s so much that we can be doing that will give our lives purpose and enrich the lives of others. We are called to do what is right in front of us, to feed and clothe the houseless, to look out for the widow and the orphans.

This is our purpose as Believers.

ONE BODY

As Sisters in Christ, we believe that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and are called to exercise self control, a fruit of the Spirit. We can become better stewards over our health and our bodies as Sisters in community on faith walks, hikes, runs, online workouts and more.

EAT MORE PLANTS

Research shows that people who eat plant-based diets have lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers. In 2020, I converted my pescatarian diet to a vegan diet. I decided to give it a try and I can honestly say that I enjoy making new discoveries in the plant-based world and making new recipes.

These are some of the dishes that I’ve tried.

World-Famous Vegan Chili

A hearty, flavorful chili loaded with beans, plant-based crumbles, and roasted corn. Slow-cooked with spices like chili powder and cinnamon for a rich, comforting taste. Top with plant-based cheese, sour cream, and green onions for the perfect bowl.

Chickpea Tuna Salad

A flavorful vegan alternative to tuna! Mashed chickpeas combined with celery, onion, vegan mayo, and savory seasonings create a delicious, protein-packed dish. Enjoy it on your favorite bread or as a hearty topping.

Maybe that junk drawer needs to be reorganized or you want to start working out. Try it for 15 minutes a day, and once you’ve put in your 15 minutes, walk away until the next day.
