‘It’s my daughter’s 7th birthday on International Women’s Day and I want her to be exposed to amazing women who have inspired me throughout history’

2025-03-07T06:16:00+00:00By

‘This year’s theme for International Women’s Day particularly excites me in that it’s inclusive of all ages, as I believe we’re never too young to receive truth. Reinforcement of sound doctrine is essential in an age of cultural promiscuity where the boundaries of identity are disputed,’ says Hannah Wickens.

Marriage is not the only pathway to reduced loneliness

2025-03-26T06:51:00+00:00By

‘The American Family Survey suggests that while marriage plays a significant role in combating loneliness and achieving life satisfaction, it is not the sole factor. In fact, church attendance is another key means to tackling loneliness, and this applies to all Christian women, whether married or single,’ says Ann-Louise Graham.
