We Can’t Do It Alone

That you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and one voice. —Romans 15:6

Long ago I concluded that I can’t make it through life without walking in community with women who band together to support and beautify each other in Christ.

I need older women—those who speak into my life with wisdom, vision, and faith, and are willing to share their love and wisdom. I also need younger women, who help keep me from becoming narrow and brittle and bring me such joy and hope. And I need women in my own season of life for mutual encouragement, accountability, and prayer.

Older women, younger women, women who are peers—we all need each other if we are to adorn the gospel and show its beauty in our lives. This is God’s good and beautiful plan. The biblical model of older women living out the gospel and training younger women to do the same, of younger women recognizing the value of older women in their lives—of women adorning the gospel together—is vital for all of us to thrive.
