FAITH ADVENTURES!

 

Reaching Hurting Women Ministries

Fifteen years ago, in the very early days of my sobriety, God put on my heart to chronicle my life recovery journey in a blog. By sharing my personal struggles and pains with other women I was able to process my own healing while also helping others.

Over the years the RHW Ministries website has evolved from simply sharing my daily challenges to teaching various topics related to 12 Step Recovery and the Christian faith, Benedictine monasticism, multiple Bible & book studies, and many reviews of Christian media including books, movies and music.

God has called me to step away for a season. While I am stepping away from my RHW Ministries blog, the website with its archived content will stay live. However, no new posts will be made for an undetermined amount of time.

Now an exciting new season of Faith Adventures begins with my husband of 43+ years and going stronger than ever. We’re not sure what it will look like, but we know God has some truly amazing things ahead; and that the rest is going to be the best!

I’m forever grateful to those who have encouraged and supported my humble ministry efforts over the journey of the last 15 years.

I pray you will be blessed by the video attached below. This song by Steven Curtis Chapman, has been a theme woven through our lives since it was first recorded over 25 years ago. Prayers for blessings on you and yours!

MUSIC REVIEW || Milk & Cookies: A Merry Crowder Christmas

For the last several years I’ve been reviewing various types of Christian media. This month we’re celebrating David Crowder’s newest album release. Be blessed!

 

3x GRAMMY-nominated, genre-defying artist Crowder dropped Milk & Cookies: A Merry Crowder Christmas on October 21st in time to embrace the full holiday season. The album includes songs that touch on the thanksgiving spirit as well as Christmas all wrapped up in a beautiful gold ribbon.

It’s an album you could put on with the whole family around and make everyone happy at some point. There’s playful songs for the young and young at heart, smooth jazz, bluegrass, pop, and orchestral rock to get everyone energized and in the Christmas spirit.

Crowder’s signature style and original genre sound never disappoints. The album mixture includes updated traditional Christmas favs and memorable originals that will sure to become new Christmas classics.  Interludes are intertwined with entertaining old time radio narrations telling Christmas stories.

In unmistakeable Crowder style Milk & Cookies is entertaining, touching… playful yet inspirational.  I highly recommend Milk & Cookies: A Crowder Christmas for your music library!

Check out the YouTube videos of my favorites from the album. Enjoy!
