Description
Young women have been growing up with an indoctrination of what womanhood is and what it should be. They've been taught everything that is in direct opposition to the Word of God. Young women who want to be different from the world are rare but they are real. Audrey Broggi will often be joined by her daughter and her daughters-in-law who desire to be discerning in a day when everything seems to go against God's design.

Great godly men and women are both rare finds. Yet God shares the words of the Shulamite: "Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men."
And really, this is the mirror of Proverbs 31:10, "An excellent wife, who can find?"
In our world today, it can seem there's a shortage of both. However, in every generation, God raises up great godly young men and women. This week's podcast, covers chapter 2 of the Song. I trust it will be of encouragement to you.

This week on the podcast, I continue the conversation about seeing our lives from God's perspective. We need Him every moment.audreybroggi.com
Could you offer some advice to help me respect my husband since he got back from deployment. I'm really struggling.
A young woman wrote and told me that though she feels so blessed with her young family, she often feels she's drowning every moment of every day. So many of us feel the same way – drowning – overwhelmed – yet, feeling overwhelmed is a good place to be if we allow it to draw us close to the Lord. This week on the podcast, the conversation is about seeing our lives and situations from the eyes of God and understanding His perspective and calling out to Him for His help. We need His grace for each moment of our lives.audreybroggi.com
When God gives children to you, there is so much to learn and so much to trust Him with. The same is true when God gives grandchildren. So much to learn. So much to trust God with. audreybroggi.com
It is such a heartbreak for parents to see their children turn away from the Lord. It often leads to anxiousness, depression, and hopelessness. A mother expresses those very thoughts in this episode of Real Questions, Real AnswersGod cares.
Sometimes after excitement and big events in our lives, we experience a letdown. It's a normal human experience and God gives us biographical sketches of down times in the lives of godly, faithful people in Scripture. He also shows us in His word how He (and they) dealt with such times. This week the podcast gives encouragement and perspective when we go through letdowns in our lives.Jesus said in John 8 , "If you continue in My word, then you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

Gossip hurts. It destroys friendships. Gossip causes anger and strife, resentment, and so much more. This week on the podcast, we examine consequences of gossip.It is so easy to sin with our tongues. We all know the pain of being talked about behind our backs - hearing things others have maliciously or jokingly said about us. We all know the pain of people spreading rumors. The Bible wastes no time telling us the consequences of gossip. As we wrap up this three-part series, I trust God has used it to help us speak wisely, truthfully, and honorably. www.audreybroggi.com
This week on the podcast, we continue our series on gossip. Sometimes we think every time we talk about people and situations, it's negative - that it's just malicious gossip. But that's not always the case. There are things we must talk about - that we need to talk about - but we have to be careful about what we say and how we say it. Is it for the good of others? Is it because we legitimately care about other people? Is it because we want to warn people? Is it because we care about the truth? I hope this week's episode brings some clarity to those questions.www.audreybroggi.com
Lately, several young women have asked me if I would do a podcast on gossip. This week is the first!www.audreybroggi.com

The transition years of our children - those years when they are teenagers, growing into adults who leave our homes often bring tears to our mama eyes. Our children never leave our hearts and they are always on our minds no matter how old they, or we, get. Lately I have been encouraging younger women who are in these years. Mama emotions are sometimes baffling and show up an unexpected ways and can surprise us. This week on the podcast, I share some of my own personal journey in this area, and some of the things God has taught me, and I hope it will be an encouragement to you.audreybroggi.com
This week on the podcast, Maureen and I finish our conversation as we pivot from her life update to the topic of friendship. We discuss how to navigate our friendships and how to help our children navigate theirs. It's always my prayer that you are encouraged! And for fun, we close out the podcast talking about a restaurant we both love. In fact, she introduced me to it. For more on friendship, I taught a series in September called "Friendships of Women." https://searchthescriptures.subspla.sh/85jrzgkhttps://youtu.be/H-yfSV6IBkIaudreybroggi.com
This question comes to me every year and this year is no different. Since Real Questions, Real Answers drops on Halloween, I thought I would address it today! My answer won't please everyone and there will be plenty who disagree and others who agree. But still, I hope you are encouraged to study your Bible, develop your own convictions, and train your children well. In the show notes, you'll find the links that I shared. https://www.gotquestions.org/Christians-celebrate-Halloween.html https://www.gotquestions.org/Halloween-origin.html https://www.gotquestions.org/Reformation-Day.html
This week and next, I’m joined by my daughter-in-law, Maureen, as we get a life update from her. We talked about this stage of her life with teens, the ups and downs of "mom emotions" as we learn to let go, plus so many changes and busyness in this season of life. Next week, we will pick up where we left off and talk about friendships - not only navigating our adult friendships, but helping our children navigate their friendships. So much fun and so much wisdom.www.audreybroggi.comhttps://youtu.be/8J7uJkC5kp4?si=Z5SnKNPwuYSZ1n4W

Thank you for sharing your family with us. I've listened to the first two episodes. As a mom of 2 daughters (ages 14 and 10) and five sons (ages 17, 8, 7, 5, and 2), my heart's desire is for them to marriage strong Christians and all become friends with each other. I've struggled with my extended family these last two years especially as many have seen all things related to covid through such a different lens than I have. I know there will always be differences in families but my prayer is that my child would grow in the grace and knowledge of their Heavenly Father and one day have families of their own who honor Him. Your family gives me such inspiration.
