The Morning Star Bright Lights Podcast

Raising young girls to know God and His Word can be challenging, especially in a world that promotes fantasy, superficiality, and self-centeredness in entertainment and popular cultural. Linsey Driskill, author of Beautiful Hearted Women Of The Bible: A Creative Mother-Daughter Devotional, talks about the importance of teaching young girls about what it means to be a Godly woman at an early age. Linsey shares ideas for moms and daughters to engage with God's Word and the world around them from her devotional, addresses the potential pitfall of feeling inadequate or imperfect as a mom,  and shares Biblical examples of ordinary women who had profound impact for the kingdom of God.   Find Beautiful Hearted Women Of The Bible at your local Morning Star Christian Bookstore!   Connect with Linsey!

If God calls you to leave everything you knew and step into the difficult, uncertain, and unfamiliar, would you do it? That's the question that George Small ultimately had to answer before leaving his job and home in California to plant a church and start a radio station in the Greater Boston area. Fast forward to today, and southern New England has a regional radio station with towers in multiple states broadcasting expository Bible teaching and vertical, God honoring worship music 24/7, 365 days a year. George and Angelena share stories about God's faithfulness throughout the stations history, including lives that were changed forever because of the truth of God's Word and the Gospel.    Connect With George and Angelena! www.renewfm.org Check out the new Spanish Station Renuevo AM 1000! https://renewfm.org/spanish/ Download the RenewFM app and listen anywhere! https://renewfm.org/renewfm-app-download/   Books mentioned in this episode: Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire - Jim Cymbala  Devotionals - https://morningstarbookstore.com/books/devotionals/ The Bible - https://morningstarbookstore.com/bibles/ My Utmost For His Highest - Oswald Chambers --- Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! https://www.facebook.com/morningstarchristianbookstore Twitter: @MStarBookstore Instagram: morningstarchristianbookstore www.morningstarbookstore.com
