7.  Every year, we have girls ask us about mentoring.  For those of you who are in churches that do not have mentoring programs, we offer opportunities to be mentored by SEBTS faculty wives and staff memebers through our Thrive Mentoring Program.  If mentoring is something you'd like to explore further, please let us know.  We'll be happy to talk with you about this. 

And…as always, please call or e-mail if you have any questions!  Welcome to the new school year!!

The Women's Life Office Library has recently acquired a few new DVD study series. 

Feel free to drop by and check them out!

Chase by Jennie Allen: " As David’s life weaves throughout the pages of Scripture, we see he was a man who spent his life chasing after God. Chase explores the events that defined David’s life and the Psalms that flowed out of those experiences. Through David’s example we’ll discover what God really wants from us.

"The lessons in this study guide are simple yet deep and very interactive, offering Bible study, stories, and projects to dig into Scripture and deeply engage the mind and heart. God has carved out a space in each of us that only He can fill. So whether you are running from God or working your tail off to please Him, David’s journey will challenge your view of God."


Stuck by Jennie Allen: "If you're stuck in an invisible struggle of heart or mind, this 8-session DVD study
will help you get unstuck. Author Jennie Allen provides a safe place to take a deep look inside yourself, expose it, deal with it, and find the freedom God intended for you. The study is intended to lead women to consider the truth and how it applies to their lives. The study guide uses story-driven teaching, Scripture Study, and interactive projects. Included is a leader's guide and conversation cards."

Simple Surrender by Hayley DiMarco: "Examine how six women in the Old Testament surrendered their lives into the larger picture of God's sovereignty. Some became heroes found in the Book of Hebrews' Hall of Faith (Heb. 11). Others were minor characters whose lives ended in obscurity. Girls will discover the sweet joy that comes with a life fully surrendered to God, willing to play a role in God's plan, large or small. Girls will be challenged to defy culture's pursuit of prominence and power as they seek God's fame and glory, not their own. In the end, they'll discover that such surrender results in ripple effects that they may never see this side of eternity."
