Ancient Babylon was a culture where anything seemed possible, an empire of intoxicating power and promise. It was also the land where God's people, the Israelites, were sent into exile. The same seductive spirit of Babylon is at work in our culture today. In this study, Shawna Songer Gaines explores God's call on our lives to engage the world without falling in love with the world. Shawna helps us understand how we can participate in God's plan to redeem and restore the earth.
Breathe: Sacred Space for Women is a small group Bible study that examines the echoes of biblical stories thoughout Scripture--exploring the character of God and what it means to you today.
