Jenny-Lyn de Klerk is joining us for today’s conversation about three Puritan women (Puritans Lucy Hutchinson, Agnes Beaumont, and Mary Rich) who will inspire you to walk in grace-driven obedience.

She has also written articles for Themelios, the Midwestern Journal of Theology, and the Gospel Coalition and contributed to the Lexham Dictionary of Church History. Jenny-Lyn and her husband, JD, live and attend church in Tsawwassen, British Columbia.

A Journeywoman's Hope is in Heaven with Vanessa Hawkins
Today, we’re revisiting a conversation with Vanessa Hawkins on living in light of eternity because a Journeywoman’s hope resides in heaven. We talked about what a difference it makes as we navigate the seasons and hardships of life when we approach them with eternity in view. This is our last episode in the “What is a Journeywoman?” series. It’s been so wonderful revisiting these timeless conversations on what it means to be a woman of God.
We pray that this episode encourages you—in the midst of whatever it is you are walking through today—to fix your gaze on eternity. That is what being a Journeywoman is all about.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
- How does living with eternity in view change the way you walk through the joys and sorrows of this life?
- How does fixing your eyes on eternity change how you engage with and encourage other believers who are walking through various joys and sorrows?
- How does understanding God’s character affect how you journey through life?
- What are some passages of Scripture that help you to fix your eyes on eternity?
- What are you going to do or implement as a result of what you’ve learned this week?

Women of the Faith: Helen Roseveare, Corrie ten Boom, Betsey Stockton, Fannie Crosby
Today we’re continuing our Women of the Faith series by talking with Laura Caputo-Wickham about some women in Church history who endured what we’d think of as unbearable circumstances for the sake of making Christ known. Laura has written about these women in one of my favorite children’s book series called “Do Great Things for God” published by the Good Book Company. We pray that this episode bolsters your faith in our God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. How has God used different Scripture passages to reveal himself to you?
2. What circumstances in your life has God used to bolster your confidence in his character?
3. How do you relate to the phrase, “ordinary people relying on an extraordinary God?”
4. Which of the women’s stories from this episode stood out to you and why?
5. What would it look like to fear God and not your circumstances?
