In this episode, Ben and John Paul talk with Mary Margaret about her new book, Show Her the Way. Show Her the Way is a new book designed to help leaders disciple teen girls.
Today’s teen girls are facing more pressure than any generation before. We want so much to help them navigate the barrage of cultural messages coming at them every day and show them how to filter what they hear, see, and experience through the truth of God’s Word. But where do we start?
Perhaps you’ve felt God tugging at your heart to disciple teen girls, either one-on-one or in the context of a group in your church or community, but all you see are barriers: How can I disciple someone else if I’ve never been discipled? How do I know where to start? What do we do when we meet together? Or if you’ve been discipling girls for a while, you may be asking how you can take it to the next level.
Show Her the Way will guide you along a journey that may have simply begun with good intentions and a heart to serve but has the potential to lead girls into a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ and a future of ministering to others.
You are called to disciple the next generation of young women. Whether you’re a girls’ minister, a volunteer leader in your church, a mom, or simply someone who cares and wants to make a difference, let this book serve as a trusted guide to discipling the teen girls in your life.
