Thoroughly Equipped Podcast Purpose

The Problem with Popular Evangelical Women’s Ministry

Have you ever thought about the popular evangelical women's ministry in America today? Do you read the popular books by popular teachers attend the popular Bible studies and popular sold-out conferences?

Do you ever wonder if they are producing the maturity they claim to encourage. Or maybe you have spent hours and hours Reading and spending money attending conferences and feel no more mature in your Christian walk than you did 5 10 or even 20 years ago.

Or maybe you're discerning woman who understands that there is something wrong But can't put your finger on it or articulate the possible reasons why there seems to be a problem. I'm no expert. But as one who is immersed in it and has by the grace of God claimed out of it I can at least tell you what I see.

Please feel free to disagree. I think it's time we start talking about it. Thoroughly equipped is a podcast for women centered on sola scriptura. This is the doctrine that the scriptures are all we need for salvation and spiritual living.

Scripture as God-Breathed and Sufficient for Spiritual Growth

They are God breathed and useful for teaching rebuking correcting and training and righteousness. So the man or woman of God may be not a little not even a lot but Thoroughly completely equipped for every good work.

So that's what I do. This podcast takes a popular Evangelical women's ministry teachings books podcasts conferences Bible studies, etc. And compares them to scripture the purpose of which is to show just how sufficient scripture is to equip us to be godly woman.

Three Kinds of Women This Podcast Is Meant to Help

Well, there are three types of women who I hope will benefit from this material. One the woman who has gone through said book video Bible studies, etc. Believing the author handled scripture correctly.

My purpose for the critique is that she learns how to compare what is read to scripture and see how scripture is so much better Than what the author provided. Number two is a woman who is discerned that the popular female teacher author is wrong.

But has friends acquaintances or church leaders that follow said female teacher author. My purpose for the critique is to help her infiltrate the conversation. To provide her with a tool that may help her to ask questions and make statements that point said friend Acquaintance leader to the sufficiency of scripture.

Number three is the woman who leads or hosts a Bible study. The purpose for the critique is to see the purpose and claims of the book Compared to scripture and therefore judge whether or not they wish to use said book or study or video.

The Blessings of Studying Scripture

Within all these situations My prayer is that more and more women come to the knowledge that scripture really is enough to thoroughly equip us. I pray we study it and that by studying it. We receive all that God has promised.

It will give a restoration of the soul wisdom to the simple rejoicing of the heart purity and enlightenment of the eyes. Discernment of our errors keeping us from our sins. It causes us to be blameless and acquitted of great sin all the while pointing us to Christ our rock and our Redeemer Psalm 19.

Why You Don’t Need Extra-Biblical Books for God’s Voice

So stick around long enough and you may start to realize that you don't need these books on how to discern God's voice because he will speak to you through his word or. What about that conference on becoming the best woman you can be and all the spiritual advice and encouragement they want to impart to you.

Well, you'll have figured out that God's Word provides better advice and encouragement. And that's okay because you'll find scripture makes you stronger in your faith and saves you a ton of money in the long run.
