Empowered and Equipped: The Role of Women in the Body of Christ

Women's Conference 2018 is a comprehensive study guide drawn from a Mary Banks Ministries conference designed specifically for women navigating the complexities of faith, identity, and relationships. Spanning seven chapters, this resource tackles some of the most pressing and often avoided topics in the Body of Christ with biblical clarity and pastoral compassion. Readers will explore the spiritual equality of women in Christ, grounded in scriptures from Galatians, Acts, and 1 Corinthians, and discover what it means to be truly one with God and with the broader Body of Christ. The guide addresses the reality of singleness in the church, offering a biblical framework for contentment, purpose, and the unique calling available to unmarried women who devote themselves fully to the Lord. Chapters on dating provide practical, scripture-based guidance on how Christian singles can pursue relationships without compromising purity or adopting the world's mindset of exclusivity and ownership. The guide also confronts difficult subjects including spiritual prostitution, same-sex attraction, and overcoming abuse, offering honest teaching and a pathway to healing and deliverance through the Word of God. This resource is ideal for women's ministry leaders, small group facilitators, and individual women who desire more than surface-level teaching. It is written for women who are ready to face hard truths, receive genuine freedom, and walk in the fullness of their God-given identity. With built-in note pages throughout, it functions equally well as a personal study tool or a group conference workbook.
