What does authentic sisterhood look like? Here's Nancy DeMoss Walglemouth. This is not a program,

though there are some great mentoring programs. But this is a way of life. It's a lifestyle. It's

organic. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Wogamoo, author of Adorned, for Thursday, February 2, 2017.

Well, Nancy, next week is your big delivery date.

It sure is, Leslie.

Now, I don't have any biological children, but every time I've written a book, I say it's felt like giving birth.

My sister who has five kids tells me I don't know what I'm talking about, but I sure her I do know something about the subject as I've labored now to produce.

I believe this is the 19th book.

And that sense of giving birth has been especially true for this book that will be released next week.

It's called Adorned, Living Out the Beauty of the Gospel Together.

And it's a study, verse by verse, phrase by phrase, word by word, of just that first paragraph in Titus 2,

where Paul talks to Pastor Titus about the importance of challenging older women to pass the baton of faith onto the younger women in the church.

And to go along with the release of that book, I'll be teaching through

this passage in Titus Chapter 2, starting next week and ending in early April. So I hope you'll

join us each weekday for that series starting next week. And to help prepare for that series,

we'll get a little taste of Titus 2 today, and hear some of your thoughts when you

were in the final stages of writing the book, Adorned.

You referenced those topics when you gave a presentation on developing authentic sisterhood.

Let's listen, as Nancy explains why we need genuine, godly friendships in the body of Christ.

Adorned. I've been thinking about that title, that topic of adorned for a long time.

Actually, the Genesis, the origins of that book. I looked it up on my laptop today.

It was somewhere about in 2007 when I set out to teach through Titus 2 versus 3 through 5.
