Welcome to the Thankful Homemaker Podcast, a podcast to be an encouragement and blessing

to each other and the role God has called us to as women.

I'm so thankful you stopped by, so grab yourself a coffee or tea and sit with me a bit

as we talk about how God's Word impacts every area of our lives as Christian women.

Hello friend, I'm Marcy Farrell from thankfulhomemaker.com and I'm so glad to be here with you today.

Today's podcast episode, it's titled Threats to Biblical Friendship.

It's from a message I gave last year at the Open Hearts and a Closed World Conference

and you can still listen into all those messages from last year's conference.

They're over on their YouTube channel, but the theme was spiritual sisterhood going beyond the facade.

So if you're not familiar with it, Open Hearts and a Closed World is a free, fully online conference.

This year's conference, though, for 2023, is going to be focusing on both women and teen girls.

I really love this.

So it's going to be for a broader age category for you to share with women and teen girls in your area of influence, your church.

And the topic is growing and godliness and a godless generation.

It will again, as always, be fully free, fully online.

It's going to be live streamed the mornings, the week of July 10 through 14th.

And it's always available to watch after the sessions go live.

So speakers this year are Susan Heck, Martha Pease, Aaron Coates, Kimberly Cummings, Brooke Barts, Michelle Leslie, Penny Amick and Arleney's Buckelu.

So all that's going to be in the show notes.

So don't feel you have to get that all down.

But I really, I hope to see you there because I really try hard to be online during the sessions.

So we can interact together either on YouTube or in the Facebook group in the comments.
