Regardless of who we are and where we come from, we all have something in common as women in faith. We are truly united in our belief, and sharing our connection under Christ can strengthen our bonds and help us invite others into our community. On Sunday, October 5, we will honor this connection and opportunity in faith during World Communion Sunday.

To say that our children are our future is more than a cliché. It is the truth. Children are our most valuable resource, deserving of love, care, and support. That’s why we are excited that United Women in Faith – and The United Methodist Church – will soon participate in a Children’s Sabbath. Launched by the Children’s Defense Fund, these observances are an opportunity to center children, focus on how we can serve children, and re...

Each September, the National Association of Mental Illness recognizes Suicide Prevention Month, and Faith Talks wants to talk about it. Suicide Prevention Month is an opportunity to raise awareness, spread hope, and spark meaningful action around one of the most urgent mental health issues of our time.

Faith communities have always been institutions for refuge and restoration. In addition to a source of spiritual guidance, they may serve to help us heal from the long-standing harms we face. As our understanding of sexual, racial, and generational trauma expands, we must consider the role of the Church as a sanctuary where healing and wholeness can take root.

The summer can be an amazing period of relaxation, travel, and renewal. But for young people, it can also come with an unexpected loss of learning and gains made during the prior school year. Two and a half months may seem like a drop in the bucket, but it can bolster or sideline students depending on how it’s used. Please join us for a conversation with Erica Clark, director of student success at the Wellington School, for a conve...

When we are faced with anger, stress, frustration, and division, it can be difficult to remember the good things. Life can be overwhelming and hard. How do we stay kind and compassionate when things are so tense?

For years, we have been discussing the climate crisis and the need to shift to just energy. Now, with the U.S. withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, many are processing the impact this shift will have on frontline communities.
As women of faith, we are clear about the mandate to care for all of God’s creation. In scripture, we are called to be stewards of the earth. However, humanity has not kept up with this task. On thi...

Grief is an unavoidable part of life. Whether it’s losing a loved one, watching tragedies around the world, or anything else that creates difficulties, it is important to acknowledge and process it. Without processing grief, it will weigh heavy on your shoulders and affect your mental health.

We always have more to learn as we find our own paths. Oftentimes, we forget that the experiences of those in generations older than ours can be valuable in finding our way. Moreover, we forget that we are an important source of guidance for the children and young people in our lives who are just starting out—and that they can teach us something too. Intergenerational learning is meaningful at every age, and it can bring you closer...

On this episode of Faith Talks we will discuss Estate and End of Life Planning. While this may be a sobering topic, it is helpful to take heed to the psalmist’s words in Psalm 90:12 and “number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
It is quite easy to focus on what is before us. To think about our careers, our hobbies, and temporal things. But we also want to be intentional, thinking about what it means to prepare for...

Throughout much of 2024, we’ve heard about Project 2025. It has dominated headlines and been a trending topic on multiple social media platforms. It is now in the news again as many of the architects of Project 2025 are being appointed to President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet.

Children develop at different paces. Some kids appear to be naturally fast. Others appear to move slower. The pace at which a child completes various tasks and projects is known as processing speed. We typically notice when children have slower processing speeds, and this can be challenging for the child and the adults around them. But processing speed is not indicative of intelligence or I.Q. And with support, children with slower...

When children go to school, we expect they will be in environments that are safe, nurturing, and conducive to learning. But this assumption isn’t always borne out in every school across the country. A student’s race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and class influences how they are received in schools. While this isn’t something many will readily admit, our school communities have work to do to create the b...
