An Interview with Ashley Morgan Jackson on Mary (Martha's sister)

An Interview with Ashley Morgan Jackson on Mary (Martha's sister)

Today's interview comes from Ashley Morgan Jackson, of Ashleymorganjackson.com, where she shares great content ranging from reflections to hair tutorials. Most recently, I have been especially inspired by her "Burden of Being Broken" series where she discusses her experiences of "struggling with her mental health" in order to address an issue that is not "talked about openly in general, let alone in Christian circles". Ashley also tackles this subject within her interview, as she relates her own personal testimony to some of the events of (her favourite woman of the Bible) Mary's life:

An Interview with Weisaye on Esther

An Interview with Weisaye on Esther

Today's interview comes from a very close family friend of mine, Weisaye. This beautiful lady is currently completing her degree in primary education in addition to juggling being a mother of three. She has literally watched me grow up and I, in turn, have had the privilege to do the same with her children. Be blessed as you read Weisaye's observations on Esther (her favourite woman of the Bible), her fight for social justice and how we, as modern women, can model ourselves on Esther's example within our communities.

Lessons from the Queen of Sheba on Forming Positive Relationships

Lessons from the Queen of Sheba on Forming Positive Relationships

The Queen of Sheba, otherwise known as Makeda, makes her debut in the Bible in 1st Kings 10:1-13. The story of her visit to King Solomon in Jerusalem, from her ancient Ethiopian Kingdom, is then documented again in 2nd Chronicles 9:1-12. A highly successful monarch in her own right, there is much insight and wisdom to be gained from this great woman of the Bible regarding how to go about building positive relationships.

An Interview with Kishma on Rahab

Today's interview comes from Kishma- another great friend of mine! This beautiful lady, aside from being "my literal laughing partner," is someone who continues to inspire me with her work ethic as a teacher in addition to the way she handles being a wife and mother. Hear her perspective on Rahab (her favourite woman of the Bible), how she reflects her personal testimony of salvation and what we can garner from these below:

An Interview with Gina Haney on Lot's Wife

An Interview with Gina Haney on Lot's Wife

Today it is my pleasure to share the spiritual perceptivity of Gina Haney, a blessed woman of God who previously blogged at arelentlessurrender.com. Within her interview, she speaks of Lot's wife (her favourite woman of the Bible), transition and how these tie into her own personal testimony of stepping into her role as a pastor's wife- a great encouragement for anyone who may currently be going through change(s).

Lessons from Lois and Eunice on Legacy

Lessons from Lois and Eunice on Legacy

Lois and Eunice were the grandmother and mother of Timothy. Timothy, for those who don’t know, was Paul’s protégé (you know, the Paul who almost single-handedly wrote the New Testament? Yeah, him). He is also the same Timothy that Paul is addressing in 1st and 2nd Timothy. These ladies literally only get a brief mention in the Bible but they have much to teach us on the subject of “legacy”. More inclined to listen rather than read the rest of this devotional? That's fine by me! Just press play on the audio below. Feel free to download also:

An Interview with Michelle Shaw on Ruth and Hannah

An Interview with Michelle Shaw on Ruth and Hannah

Today's interview installment comes from a really dear and beloved friend of mine, Michelle Shaw- without whom this blog may not have come into existence (because the firm talking to she gave me a few years ago- basically telling me to stop complaining about my present circumstances and make more use of my gifts- was one of the catalysts to me writing in this particular niche).

This blessed woman of God, like most of us, balances many roles. She is a pillar in her community, working as a teacher by profession in addition to serving her church as a minister in training and much more- all while balancing her familial duties as a mother, sister, daughter, auntie, cousin, friend and (most recently) grandma! The depth of wisdom provided in her interview is therefore just as multifaceted, given that she chose to discuss her two favourite women of the Bible (Ruth and Hannah) and how they reflect the many different seasons we may encounter, as women, along our faith walk:

An Interview with K.Marie on Leah

An Interview with K.Marie on Leah

Today's interview comes from the lovely K.Marie of phenomenalyou.org.uk, where she blogs about Afro Caribbean textured (or natural) hair. With this blog she demonstrates how black women can rock their God-given crowns by providing "the tools to succeed along [their] hair [journeys]" through the sharing of information, knowledge, encouragement, support and topical debates.

In line with her desire to see women be their most authentic self, during her interview K.Marie discusses Leah- her favourite woman of the Bible- and how she shows us, as modern day women, the importance of self-love, worth and actualisation:
