“Unashamed of the Chains of Christ”2nd Timothy 1:15-18Episode 7Season 1Ladies,Join Brooke and Erin as they work through 2nd Timothy 1:15-18. Just as Paul lost two workers in this book who deserted him while he was in chains for the gospel in prison,  the ladies talk on what it means personally with examples of when people deserted them for the faith they have in Christ. Erin and Brooke give personal examples of being persecuted and even abandoned by those who profess Jesus Christ even those who were close to them. The ladies also discuss the refreshment that comes from fellow workers of the gospel, the faithful friends and believers who stand with them and continue to battle the false world ideologies like woke, abortion, lgbtq, and transgender agenda in our generation. They also talk on the great responsibility of being women who train up their children unashamed of the gospel and how they both support their church and husbands as they pastor their churches. This episode will greatly encourage women to be unashamed of the chains of Christ and to look forward to that day when our works will be revealed. Are you standing unashamed? Are you chained to the gospel of Christ and forsaking this world?  This is a podcast you won’t want to miss and will want to share with all the women you know.“You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains; but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me-- the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day--and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus.”2 Timothy 1:15-18
