Advertise on podcast: The enCourage Women's Podcast

Thanks for listening to the enCourage podcast, where we have one aim: to bring the hope of the gospel to the hearts of women. The suggested resource for this series is Demystifying Decision-Making by Aimee Joseph.  This Fall we are asking our listeners to consider giving $1, 5, or $10 per woman in their churches to underwrite PCA women's ministries. These funds will equip young WM leaders, provide free training to under-resourced churches, and produce written, audio, and video resources that strengthen the Church, just like the enCourage podcast. You can give to the Love Gift Legacy here. The enCourage podcast is a production of CDM, the discipleship ministry of the PCA.
