THE BOOK OF JOSHUA

Joshua is the 6th book in the Old Testament written by Joshua, the man God chose to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land. Joshua is a book of promises fulfilled and fighting for the promise of God on our lives. Promises don’t always come easy—in fact, most often, they don’t come easy at all. Even when we finally receive the promise or the things we’ve been praying for, sometimes we have to fight to keep them—or fight to continue being grateful for them!

Why Keep Praying?

Prayer is powerful and one of the greatest tools we have as believers. Yet, it can be one of our last resorts when we encounter issues and problems in our lives. Going to God in prayer should be our FIRST response to any issue, problem or situation we encounter in our lives but it can be easy to get discouraged when we feel like the prayers we’re praying aren’t being answered or even heard…

THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY

The book of Deuteronomy is filled with laws and commands of how God wanted His people to live once they entered the land that was promised to them through Abraham hundreds of years before. It includes the 10 Commandments and a challenge for this generation to respond to God’s love with obedience. Moses continued to remind the Israelites of how God miraculously rescued them from their slavery to the Egyptians and how He will continue to rescue them from their sin through the law and obedience—and someday, Jesus.

Blessed Business

Whatever you do for work, God wants you to see that your work is His gift to you, and a labor of love and worship to Jesus. I believe work and worship are one and the same to Him, and that we are called to glorify God in our daily lives and to experience Him in the marketplace. He wants to be invited into our work, as the Lord of all we do. God’s “call” to a pastoral occupation is not of greater importance than a “call” to any other occupation. In the Kingdom of God, ALL of life is ministry.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Though a lot of the "work" we do as moms can seem insignificant or draining at times, we have to remember that every moment we spend with our kids is shaping their character and future.

Healing Today

It can be discouraging to believe in miracles when we’ve prayed for something and didn't see anything happen. I’ve prayed for certain things, and sometimes those things just don't turn out the way I had hoped they would. When we don't get the answers we are hoping for, oftentimes we can question our faith and hope in God and we can become discouraged. Though we may not understand unanswered prayers, I’ve also witnessed God's healing, provision, and faithfulness more times than I can count…

Beauty of Community

EBF was started in 2014 when I felt God leading me to create a space where women of all cultures, backgrounds, and denominations could come together to experience community through real stories of triumph, victory, and encouragement. I love when women can gather together and cheer one another on, rather than competing and striving to be better than someone else. I believe we are called to help and encourage one another–especially as women of faith. That’s what Equipped by Faith was created for–and that’s what we’ll continue to do…

You’re Invited. Happy Easter from EBF!  

Easter is the greatest celebration in the Christian faith because we are celebrating the very reason we are welcomed into God’s family! God loved us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us. But He didn’t just die, He rose again on the third day to conquer sin and death for good—and to bring new life to everyone on earth!

Her Story: Jennifer Colunga

"In middle school, I had teachers tell me several times that people like me were a tax-burden, that people like me wouldn’t go to college, and that girls like me only got pregnant at sixteen and dropped out of school. While others may have dwelled on these statements, I chose to use them as statements of encouragement to persevere and show others what I was capable of. I was the first in my family to graduate from college and from a graduate program with honors.” Now, working as a Deputy Clerk for the U.S. Courts, Jennifer’s story of battling against negativity, the cycle of poverty, and dismantling discouraging words with the power of God’s truth is absolutely inspiring…

THE BOOK OF EXODUS

The word Exodus comes from the Greek meaning departure—signifying God’s deliverance of the Israelites from their slavery to Egypt. Moses is the author of this 40-chapter book split into two major sections: the first half (Ch. 1-18) describes how Moses led the Israelites out of their slavery and the second half (Ch. 19-40) is when the Israelites wandered around in the desert for 40 years with highlights including the Ten Commandments and blueprints setting up the law of the Old Testament.

SERVE

In today’s society, we’re told in so many ways to fight for ourselves, to put ourselves first, and to put “our truth” before anyone else. But that’s not exactly how Jesus told us to live. The Bible places a lot of emphasis on being a servant and putting others' needs above our own. Being a servant is technically the lowest place of honor according to the world's standards. But according to Jesus, this is who we are called to be as Christians. It’s our highest calling because it’s exactly what Jesus came to do and we’re called to be like Him

GOD OUR HEALER

God calls Himself, Jehova-Rophe, meaning, “the Lord who heals you.” We generally attribute “health" to physical healing but God is implying spiritual and emotional healing as well. Whether you are struggling with a physical issue or a broken heart today, I can confidently tell you that God is the healer of both.

KEYS FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH

As a working mom, wife, and business owner, I know how hard it can be to carve out time each day to pray and read the Bible. But I’ve had to be very intentional about keeping these times sacred because I know just how important they are. It’s not always easy, but I wake up before anyone else in my family to spend time reading the scripture because I know as soon as my kids wake up—it’s just not going to happen. And by the end of the day, I’m just too tired. Reading the Bible is just like working out. If we don’t exercise our spiritual muscles, they will not grow!

Praying for Your Kids

I believe in the power of prayer. There have been so many instances where simply praying with someone has led to healing in their body, in their heart or in their spirit. Prayer encourages me, especially when I see God moving in my life or in the lives of those I’m praying for. God hears our prayers and moves on our behalf. I think if we truly understood the power of our prayers, we would never stop praying–especially for our kids…
