Weekly Magazine | Heroines of the Faith, Including You!
Your weekly magazine is here—real stories, real faith, real encouragement. Just for you!
Dear Friends,
There’s something deeply stirring about stories of courage, especially when they don’t feel polished or dramatic, but real. This week’s issue invites you into stories of women who didn’t fight with flawless strength or dramatic victories, but with perseverance rooted in Christ. From a multigenerational Bible study filled with weary moms and seasoned saints, to the unimaginable darkness faced by Corrie ten Boom, to the ordinary trenches of daily faithfulness, each story reminds us that God’s heroines are often hidden in plain sight.
These women aren’t driven by applause or recognition. They are shaped by obedience. Sustained by community. Strengthened by God’s Word.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your quiet faith, your steady endurance, or your unseen prayers truly matter—this issue is for you.
Encouraging you in God’s truth,

Are You Armed for the Battle of Life?
Learning with a Community of Regular Heroes.
By Lisa C. Whitaker
It is Tuesday morning and one by one they filter in, finding their seat after grabbing a cup of coffee to give fuel to their thoughts. Some who come have infants swaddled to their chest, the lack of sleep manifesting on their faces. Some come chasing young children into the childcare rooms according to age, their hair wildly escaping out of their last-minute ponytails. Yet others have come who are navigating an empty nest; the frazzled look is long gone, but a new look of uncertainty takes its place. Others come whose hair has long turned gray and the wrinkles of raising kids, work, marriage, and life line their skin. They all have one thing in common: they are women who have come to strengthen their faith through the study of the Word of God.
Battles and Weapons
These women come giving priority to learning what God has for them. They all come wanting to leave a legacy that is held together, grounded in Christ Jesus. They all come eager to learn to fight for their families, and they are faithful to the task.
As I watch them each file in, I behold their faces and wonder what battles they have fought along the way. What stories could they tell of God’s faithfulness, His goodness? What dark valleys of defeat could they give voice to? As I watch, I ponder my own journey of life.
My kids have long left the nest, and the only laughter of children comes from my grandkids. I ask myself, “What is the legacy I am leaving?
