Gender & Sexuality:

Clarity in an Age of Confusion

How did we get here? As thousands of women streamed into the Sagamore Ballroom for the True Woman '22  preconference last fall, their craving for answers was palpable. 

This was no one-size-fits-all audience. From white-headed grandmas to young moms with strollers, women from varied churches and regions with a variety of experiences sat with their Bibles open and pens poised to write down any nuggets of truth that could help them make sense of how to respond to the culture’s boldfaced rejection of God’s plan. 

They represent so many Christians— people like you—who aren’t interested in winning a culture war but in understanding God’s truth. These were:

  • Grandmothers suddenly faced with the
    their grandchild by a new name and pronoun or face total exclusion from their lives.

  • Mothers who have been forced to navigate the harmful effects of pornography in the hearts of their young children.

  • Women who question God’s …


When Surrender Goes Viral

On a Sunday morning you sit beside a friend and ask about her granchildren. She shares some high-lights: a new job, a recent engagement, and graduation with honors. Then a couple comes forward to dedicate their newborn to the Lord.  

You remember what it was like when your children still fit in your arms. But that was before rebellion, before addiction, and before your child cut you out of his life.

Gospel Fruit Underground

Two sisters are busy selling fruit out of their small shop. Behing the counter sits a black box. From it, a clear voice teaches from God's Word. Customers take notice. They start coming to the shop for more than produce. Eager to hear more of the voices streaming from the speaker, they return day after day as God's truth begins to take root and produce lasting fruit in their hearts and lives.

This is a snapshot of how God is working through Revive Our Hearts in one of the most closed countries in the world. A year ago, our ministry began a partnership with leaders in this country that is so marked by hostility toward the gospel, it cannot be named publicly. All Christian work in this area is underground. Since then, translators have produced 272 of Nancy’s half-hour teaching podcasts and sixty-four of Nancy’s teaching videos in the nation’s …
