84 episodes - English - Latest episode: 20 days ago - ★★★★★ - 46 ratings

Come join me, Dr. Elaina Barron, as we delve in deep with women about what they love but often struggle with. Through the past 30 years of ministry as a Bible teacher and now Spiritual Director, women have asked so many questions, and this is where we're making space to talk them through. We're looking at God, parenting, relationships, transitions, spiritual questions and even just things we love. These are the conversations you want to have with your really good girlfriends, and that's what I'm doing by inviting trusted voices here to join me. Do you have a question? I'd love to hear about it!
