As girls, no matter our age, we all struggle with the common heart issues of the flesh. Girl Talk Ministries brings those Heart Issues in our curriculum to resource, equip and disciple moms and girls in their relationship with Jesus and each other to beat today’s statistics and see the change one girl at a time.
WHAT IS GIRL TALK?
A Christ-centered community for girls and moms: equipping through relationship with Jesus and each other; aligning our lives with Biblical truth in who Jesus is and our identity in Him; growing to be all we are created to be in Him through Holy Spirit in us; overcoming sin, struggle and hardship, as we walk and talk with Jesus and Holy Spirit every day…
Heart Issues: The Girl Talk Curriculum
Through Girl Talk small groups, we walk through our curriculum, digging deep into Bible study with the heart issues we have seen girls and moms struggle with over decades of our own experiences and walking with others. Through middle school and high school, we study worship, identity, prayer, spiritual warfare, joy, fear, relationships, purpose and serving as we build together on the foundation of who Jesus is and who we were created to be in Him. As a girl, as a mom, as a leader… we are always
growing closer to Jesus …
…as we grow closer to each other.
