On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I chatted with Laura Hardin about abiding in Christ. We talked about everything from what it actually means to abide in Christ to how doing so impacts our lives every day. Listen to what she said, “When I abide in Christ, life is no longer about me, it’s about him, and he always orients me towards others. Through abiding in the Lord, I became enamored by God’s heart for service, that he is the humble servant King. And I want to be like him.” So you’ll know her a little better, Laura encourages women to abide in Christ by committing themselves to the word of God, prayer, and fellowship. Through her writing, small group studies, and one-on-one discipleship, she challenges friends to follow Christ wholeheartedly. She resides in Maryland with her husband and two little babes.     LAURA’S RESOURCES Ponder: A Simple Guide to Time Alone with God by Laura Hardin The Abide Method by Risen Motherhood Habits of Grace by Dave Mathis When I Don't Desire God: How to Fight for Joy by John Piper   LAURA’S SIMPLE JOYS Lattes Blueberry Pancakes Getting in the Word with a friend   CONNECT WITH LAURA Website Facebook Instagram   SPONSORSHIP DETAILS Y’all, Journeywomen recently had the opportunity to work with Brittany Partain Photography for an exclusive Journeywomen photoshoot.
