Welcome to Links We Love, the monthly post where you’ll find links to resources and content that will help you step into your God-given calling and view your work as a meaningful part of the kingdom of God.
Here at Women & Work, this August we finished our Summer Series with Donna Gaines, pastor’s wife, author, and founder of ARISE2Read, and we’re looking forward to starting our Fall Book Club soon!
FEATURED RESOURCE
This month’s featured resource is the book we’ll be reading this fall as part of our book club. It’s Made for More: An Invitation to Live in God’s Image by Hannah Anderson.
Too often as women, we try to find security in our roles and relationships, our professional accomplishments, or our picture-perfect homes.
In Made for More, Hannah Anderson invites you to re-imagine yourself, not simply as a set of roles and categories, but as a person destined to live in the fullness of God Himself.
Starting with our first identity as image-bearers, Hannah shows how Jesus Christ makes us people who can reflect His nature through our unique callings.
She also explores how these deeper truths affect the practical realities that we face as women—how does being an image-bearer shape our pursuit of education, our work, and even our desire for holistic lives?
Because you are made in God’s image, you will only ever know yourself—only ever be yourself—as you find your identity in Him. Find it now.

>> W +W SUMMER SERIES FINALE WITH DONNA GAINES
In this last installment of the Women & Work Summer Series, guest Donna Gaines shares with Courtney Moore how she prioritizes the various callings in her life and why prayer is so vital for Christian women to fully step into their callings.
>>OUR PRODUCTIVITY IS LIMITED, BUT OUR GOD’S IS NOT
We live in a distracted and demanding world, and trying to keep up is running us ragged. The burden to constantly produce and hustle and fix and respond will crush us if we try to live outside of our limitations—if we try to live like God.
God has infinite wisdom; you don’t. God has infinite attention; you don’t. God has infinite power; you don’t. And this is good news!
>>HOW CAN I GLORIFY GOD WHEN I HAVE NO WORK?
No matter what situation may bring you to be looking for work, whether you need to be reminded of these truths today or are storing up truth for a season that may come, these reminders of the ways we may glorify God are edifying.
Diane Nix, host of Coffee Chats, speaks with Courtney Moore about how the Lord led her to begin Women & Work and about how she seeks to be faithful as a pastor’s wife and the president of W+W.
