Equipped and Empowered is a seven-week Bible study designed to prepare women for spiritual battle. This study is a stroll down gold-paved streets on a quest to know God and a journey down the Enemy’s dusty barren path.

Each week has five days of study, requiring an average of fifteen minutes a day. Days 1–4 focus on biblical truth. Day 5 is a brief fictional story with questions dedicated to teaching practical biblical application. During this study, you will learn:

• How God works in the spiritual battle

• Dangers and deceptions Satan uses

• How to identify your personal strengths and weaknesses

• Basic elements of biblical knowledge needed to defeat Satan

• How to live victorious

Spiritual defeat is a relevant problem we must face and conquer. After years of struggling to experience spiritual well-being and victory, I discovered basic scriptural principles applicable to my real-life circumstances. This study grew from my desire to help others live victorious.

Many thanks to my sweet sisters and ministry partners, Debbie Takewell and Ashley White. Debbie and Ashley have been by my side as encouragers throughout my ministry. During this Bible study, they wrote some of the fiction stories at the end of each week of study. The stories will help you see how God’s Word applies to our everyday life circumstances.
