We all need mentors. If you’re a follower of Christ, at least one of your mentors should also be a Christian who is practicing the way of Jesus. Finding a mentor is not always easy… especially, if you’re not a part of a local church community or an online church community. Have you ever considered finding a mentor from the Bible? There are lots of folks in the New Testament you could observe — similarly, there are lots of folks in the Old Testament, too.
We’ve created a resource for you to lead a bible study that highlights women in the New Testament that we can learn from. This new resource, now available on Amazon Kindle is the “Women Who Followed Jesus Bible Study: Discipleship Models to Reconstruct Your Faith” will help you identify women in the New Testament who lived lives completely sold out for Jesus.
Learn from them…they’ll show you how to practice the way!
Discover the profound stories of the remarkable women who played pivotal roles in the early Christian community. “The Women Who Followed Jesus: A Bible Study Guide” delves into the lives of Junia, Mary Magdalene, Mary and Martha of Bethany, Mary (mother of Jesus), Chloe, Phoebe, Tabitha, Priscilla, and the Samaritan Woman, offering fresh insights into their contributions and the spiritual lessons they impart.
