Are Women's Groups HURTING Christian Women?

Oh this will Preach!❤❤❤ Thank You so much for This Video! YOU ARE NOT WRONG SIS! Holy Spirit Inspired VIDEO here!

Seriously Speaking 💯 TRUTH all the way through this video!!!!

Completely agree. It is really very sad. I disagree that the false “teachers” are doing so with good intention. No way is Joyce Meyer, Priscilla Shrier, Beth Moore, etc etc etc, doing this with good intentions

Trying to sign up for the Bible study through your link but it keeps giving me an error message....HELP?

I agree!!!! Idk about " with good intentions "........ i dont think so....

A majority of women are not married!!!! They dont have someone to fill that role and most women are not going to their pastors or elders.....it z just how it is...... A lot of men are missing from the church.... its women keeping the church doors open.......Things have changed!!!!! It is what it is.. ..

I love watching your videos. You always uplift and inspire me. You are beautiful inside and out. It’s kind of not related and I know that your channel is not a make up channel, but would you ever list your make up products especially your lipstick color? It’s so pretty! I always wonder what color it is lol

This video is so good!

I appreciate that you take on difficult questions like this. And I agree with you on this. I crave a community of women friends but my experience with women’s groups and Bible studies is that it’s mostly fluff. Like you said, barely milk. I am so grateful that my husband is a strong family leader and that I can go to him with questions and Biblical discussions.

I've been pretty hurt by other Christian women, that why I go to the women meeting, to lickie ,I don't like gossip 😕

I'm really not interested in learning any theology from women because that shouldn't be their role, according to the Bible. But I love to hear from older women about how to be a better wife, mother, homemaker, etc. I don't know where women got the idea that for it to be a "woman's study" it needs to have a woman teaching it.

I find that I want to go to the Woman's Bible Studies but once I go I get disappointed. Some of it is just me and not feeling connected but also it just always seems like these studies are all designed the same way. Also sometimes it seem like it is not deep enough or the ladies do not really talk about the true struggles. I do understand that no one wants to open up to a big group of women about their struggles. Yet when you go sometimes it does seem like everyone has it all together and I know that is not true. So if we could pick a topic and then go to the Bible and find all the verses and talk about it would be wonderful without these real long videos you have to watch etc.

I think it is a wonderful and a great honor when the husband is the leader of the household. The husband and wife being on the same page say in raising kids and how important it is that our kids are in church etc. Now if a woman has a spouse that is a not a believer then understandably she has to step up and make that happen that the kids are in church or know about God. yet if your husband is a Christian it is important that is able to lead the family. I also think as husbands wives we need to truly learn to respect one another. I find so many times in marriages today respect is lost. Sometimes we can say things to our spouse or about our spouse or in front of others that is not very respectful. I think marriages today are struggling and divorce is so high. No marriage is perfect but if we learn how to respect each other and the man steps up to be the Godly man etc then things do work more peacefully.

False idols!

Our church is solid for the most part! My youngest attends youth group and her pastors are the best and they reinforce what I teach her at home so I love that! The women’s ministry is the worst though! I tried to get connected but after a few different times I attended, I told myself I’d rather be in this walk alone. I’ve been crying out to The Lord for about 14 years for a community in Christ but nothing yet. Now the last few years I’ve been praying for a move out of Alaska to find the community in Christ I’m desperate for! I would love to be part of your summer Bible study if it’s not too late to join? My husband won’t lead despite being in men’s groups our entire marriage. I make all the decisions and he prefers it this way but I’m falling apart so much lately with the desire for him to lead me and our last kiddo at home.

The 4 women's groups Ive been in have been amazing. They have been liflines for me during the hardest moments of my life.

I’m confused as to why Beth Moore or Proverbs 31 Ministries are like nails on a chalkboard to you. Beth Moore specifically, is very very grounded in the Word. I struggle to understand why you would believe there to be little value in her teaching. I am interested in your view, but struggle - as it seems quite inflammatory with no real examples of why you are saying these things. And with others joining in their comments which seem to indicate that they believe there is intentional harmful intent- I can’t help but be uncomfortable at best. All that being said, I truly desire to understand your perspective.

1,000 times yes! You are spot on with these 5 points. I’ve seen it firsthand. I’m so thankful we’re part of a church where this is not the case. We have a Women Mentoring Women meeting once a month. We share requests then pray and then read a chapter of a book and discuss. We are currently reading through Building a Godly Home by William Gouge. It was written in the 1600’s so there is absolutely no fluff. 😂

I agree with all of these! I watched your video early yesterday morning, and it was so apropos for a meeting I was attending in the evening about a young woman endeavoring to launch a new group/organization for wives. The more she explained, the more it appeared to be (the way her vision was going) “church” but just for women. I definitely gave that input, and cautioned her to remember the reason she wanted the group…to create a community of this particular demographic of women, NOT to create a church. Along this topic, though, I do believe there is a place for women’s fellowship groups that is being vastly overlooked. We aren’t teaching younger women how to be wives and mothers anymore. We don’t teach them how to cook, clean, save, garden, or how to support their husbands according to the Word. Every group seems to want to create “women pastors” and “women with a ministry”, but none of them want to embrace the beauty and strength of domesticity/domestic tasks. With the number of younger women whose Moms and Grandmommas worked and didn’t teach them these skills directly, there’s a definite need for those of us who do know these skills to pass them on.

Agree about anyone who changes scripture or twists gods word but; I attend a women’s group about sexual trauma and codependency. It’s not something women would be comfortable discussing around men.
It’s a blessing to every woman who has joined. Husband and I also go to a Friday night life- recovery group. We both have a lot of trauma and abuse in our past.

The Bible does not instruct that we can’t gather together in small groups.
Just because it’s doesn’t say WE SHOULD OR CAN, Doesn’t mean we cannot.
All things are lawful but not all things are beneficial.
I don’t need anyone telling me how to congregate with my church body besides the good word itself. Give me a chapter and verse and I’ll go on about my research.
This is also a Roman’s 14 issue. I don’t need to be told how to esteem the lord, on what day, or in what groups.
We should all be convicted in our own hearts about how we worship the lord, as long as it is biblically reconcilable.
I love your style and your love for God, but not every Christian woman needs or wants to have the same life as you ❤ might not want to take your advice and that’s perfectly okay.
When it comes to homemaking though, I have taken much of your advice 😊

You are taking Paul out of cultural context regarding women keeping silent. He also acknowledged women prophesying. That being said, I agree that women's groups can often be shallow by and large. I had a women's Bible study in my home with women who really wanted to know the Word. It fell apart when circumstances made it hard to go in depth like we used to.

I agree with sooo much of what you've said here. Especially in regards to being feeling focused and a gossip group. I asked my m-i-l to pray for me as Im struggling with issues at work and trying to find a way to work from home. She asked to share in her "prayer group" and i said yes thinking the more people praying the better.. unaware of the gossip. Next thing i know.. she's asking what dept i work in and other irrelevant questions to share this with these ladies. Smh.

Great episode, as a Jehovah witness we are never split up for learning or worship and have no women’s groups . I really appreciate your videos, you have a great directness

That was a very good point you make about even in the church. We are all pulled apart going separate ways. This is something I questioned in our small Baptist Church. Why aren't the kids simply staying and listening to the message? Why do churches think they need to entertain the children. We stepped away from the Big show church where this was a huge issue many years ago

Nailed it. What do you recommend for women like me - I’m in a small town. Our options for church are SO limited. I would 10000% drive to a biblical church, but my husband is an unbeliever. So we tread this line of balancing church and family time on the weekend since he is only home on the weekend. I was faithfully going to church and got involved but it causes issues in our marriage. And truthfully, the pastor is great and biblical but there are issues with leadership. There are things being done that are not biblical.. the woman’s study as an example. Promoting false teachers. Etc. it caused some strife which carried into our home life and now my husband has an even worse taste of church and God. So I am hesitant on how to go forward. I don’t have that head of the house hold, so I want to make sure I find a biblical church/pastor to get some wisdom from, but driving an hour plus isn’t an option as my husband would not be on board with us being gone for 4-5 hrs every Sunday when he’s home and wants to be with us.

Yes! I hate the separation of the family in churches. I feel that’s one reason so many teens/college students walk away, they are so busy trying to have fun in youth groups instead of sitting under the teaching of older godly men/women.

How does a wife learn when her husband is lukewarm and sometimes doesn't believe at all or is a narcissist or full time athiest and the wife is not allowed to go anywhere or talk to anyone? Is the Holy Spirit unable to teach women?
