One thing I love is taking in content – whether that be books, podcasts, or other resources – that points me to Jesus. I equally love exchanging excellent resources with others. So, I’ve put together this page of some of my favorite resources that have been an encouragement to me in my walk with the Lord in various areas of my life. Many of them are women-specific, but some are “general” ones that have made a significant impact in my life. I hope they will bless you, too!
[I’ve also added a few “extra” recommendations that aren’t necessarily for spiritual growth, but some of my favorite life things ;). And check back every once-in-a-while for new faves]
