We are a space for Australian Christian women to
gather, grow and be encouraged!
We believe Christians should use their gifts to serve others,
build up the Church and reflect Jesus' love.
Our Favourite Podcasts!
We have carefully curated a list of our favourite podcasts which promote mutuality in the home and women in leadership positions in the church, where there is no male headship or gender hierarchy.
You can find that list here
Haven't heard a woman preach before?
We have a list of churches in Australia where women are preaching in Anglican, Baptist and others that we have connections with. You will find women in most Uniting and Pentecostal churches. Visit in person or look up their YouTube channel to see, listen and learn.
Fixing Her Eyes in the SMH
"There aren’t a lot of blokes around who would say, openly and unabashedly, that they are seeking a submissive wife. So it was quite startling to see a groom say just this, out loud, on Married at First Sight. As the other men present raised their eyebrows and the experts gasped, one group of women watching rolled their eyes with recognition: churchgoers." Julia Baird
An important subject being raised on a secular platform. Wifely submission, male headship doesn't wash. It's patriarchy. It's toxic. It's a power imbalance. They simply don’t reflect the kind of life Jesus calls his followers to in God’s kingdom.
