Arkansas Baptist Women Podcast

Today we are asking and answering the question, “Who is an Arkansas Baptist Woman?”  The answer. Women who worship, grow, connect, serve, and share... together! In this episode, Andrea shares 5 Keys for Effective Growth that can be applied to our individual lives and ministry settings. As you listen, consider which area of the ministry model will help you grow in faith and obedience. Download your free copy of the 5 Keys for Effective Growth at www.absc.org/abw.

Andrea is excited to welcome Tara Dew to the podcast. Tara is married to Dr. Jamie Dew (current president of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary). Together, they have two sets of twins. Tara loves teaching women to know and love the Word of God. Tara joins Andrea on the podcast to talk about her new book, Overflowing Joy! Whether you’re facing the ordinary, daily pressures of squaring away today’s to-do list or an unexpected season of suffering that seems to have no end, it sometimes feels like Jesus’ promise of “overflowing joy” is simply not within reach for your real life. But it does not have to be that way! Tara shares three pathways to joy: God’s pruning, God’s presence, and God’s commands. All have the power to deliver not just a taste of joy as a fruit God is developing in you but an overflowing bushel of it! The question is, Are you willing? Let’s talk about it on today’s episode! Purchase your copy of Overflowing Joy through Lifeway or anywhere books are sold.
