In this special Christmas episode, we will look at the life of Mary as a teen girl. Mary the mother of Jesus was only 13-14 years old when she gave birth to the Son of God. In this episode I discuss the qualities of godliness and righteousness Mary had at a young age and what teen girls today are tempted to model and chase after. We as godly women, moms, and wives need to know how to combat the world and teach teen girls to model godliness and not worldliness.

Mary: The Epitome of Godliness

Brooke discusses a Christian&#39;s understanding of biblical love and how to love. At Christmastime this is especially timely, as we seek to understand this truth and take it into the dark world as Christ did when He condescended as the Light of the World.

Why Do We Love?
