Still Be Discerning about Discerners Discerning Discernment Ministries
Bible study author, speaker and blogger Michelle Lesley deals with a very contentious subject: Discernment blogs and podcasts.

Women in Combat
In this hard-hitting piece Bible study author, speaker and blogger Michelle Lesley urges Christian men to “gird up, gear up, and stand up.” Why? “Because some women in combat are wounded, battle fatigued, and in need of some R&R.” She writes: Over the last few months, there’s been a lot of talk about the possibility […]
