Athey Creek Devoted Live | Video Podcast

In Judges 4, we meet a remarkable woman named Deborah, but who she is and what role she really plays in helping to defend Israel has been widely misinterpreted within our feministic culture. In our February 2024 Devoted study, we dig in to see what the Bible actually says about Deborah and how she is a beautiful model of what God created women to be.

Our worldview determines our perspective of everything around us. And there are great differences between the worldviews of Christians and non-believers. Amy looks at the worldview of both and focuses on what our worldview should be according to the Word of God.

As the world befriends Satan’s devices, how do we stand out as Christians? Amy shows us what the Bible says about being holy. Let us not partake in what the world has for us but what the Lord promises us!

Amy discusses how to be an individual, beautifully designed woman that glorifies her Creator in modesty and humility.

Amy dives into the book of Colossians to go over the basics of what our relationship with God should look like. We are reminded of who Christ is, who we are, and how we can respect and keep Him first.

We are fighting a spiritual battle, and it is so important that we stay at our posts and do not give up ground to the enemy. Amy highlights several women of the Bible that remained faithful at their posts, and we are encouraged to do the same.

Proverbs 14:1 compares the wise woman who builds up her house to the foolish woman who tears it down. Amy challenges us to invest our time and money into building our relationships with the Lord and with our families.

Amy reminds us that we are called to be a hammer and not a nail, checking the Word instead of letting the world drive our beliefs. In frightening and evil days, we can embrace God's truth, take courage, and have joy!

Our lives can look messy and dark, and that's because we're fighting a spiritual battle! Amy looks at the armor of God listed in Ephesians 6:12 and discusses how important each piece is in resisting the devil and his tactics.

She also shares a few specific verses that impacted her life and are sure to encourage you too!

Christians are a hated minority in today's culture because God calls us to be different and set apart from the world. However, we are not alone when we gather with other believers, and Amy encourages us to be salt and light, putting on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amy looks at Philippians 4:8 and challenges us to take captive every thought that is not true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, and praiseworthy. Let us run all our thoughts through the filter of God's Word!

Amy examines what our spiritual walk should look like and how we can walk in the way of the Spirit and not the flesh. While our walk through this world can be challenging, we can rejoice that we are walking toward our eternal home.

Amy walks through the progression from living in compliance with the world, to living with complacency, to finally becoming complicit with the darkness around us. We are encouraged to be alert and separate from the world, looking to Christ as our example.

Amy looks at Eve's part in the fall of humanity and the tactics Satan used to tempt her. We are warned to look to Scripture alone for wisdom and truth, and to find spiritual safety in the covering and insight of godly men.

The world pins our worth on who we become and what we accomplish, but in reality, our value and identity are both found in Christ. Amy looks at how we can bring glory to the image of God with a spirit of humility and servanthood.

The way to discern between things that are right and those that are just a bit off is to check them against the truth of Scripture. Amy challenges us to be intentional about spending time in the Word so that we will be equipped to recognize what is true.
