The Mentor's Table: A Place for Women Desiring a Biblical Spiritual Mentor

If you are a woman who can't find a godly, Christian mentor locally, you're invited to pull up a chair to this virtual table of women seeking deep discipleship. In each episode, you will listen to and respond to solid, biblically based teachings from Mentor Joy Abad on spiritual and emotional health, with an uncomfortable focus on surrender. This community doesn't just listen to the Word of God; we obey (practice) what it says.
