Each morning, the women in our ministry begin their day in God’s Word by reading from the One Year Bible. Faithful teachers from Renew and other affiliated Women’s Discipleship Ministries provide rich, biblically grounded teachings that explore the daily passages—drawing out timeless truths with practical application for addiction recovery. We warmly invite you to join us and discover what God is revealing through His Word.
Peggy Bruning, Women’s Renew Director, Testimony - Resolve Women’s Stand Firm Conference, Calvary Chapel Knoxville
This is the powerful testimony of our director, Peggy Bruning—a story of God’s miraculous grace, redeeming her from addiction and calling her into a life of purpose and service for His glory.
“Patient Love” - Calvary Chapel Chattanooga (Tyler Golson)
In "Patient Love," Pastor Tyler speaks directly to parents and loved ones of those caught in addiction or other destructive life patterns. It's hard to know when helping becomes enabling — and even harder to hold on to hope. Through the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15, Pastor Tyler shares God’s wisdom for those who wait, love, and pray for someone who’s lost their way. Be encouraged by God's Word and reminded that His love never gives up — and neither should we.
“The Prodigal” - Calvary Chapel Bangor (Ken Graves)
In this bold and timely message, Pastor Ken Graves speaks to the painful reality of watching someone you love live like a prodigal — someone who has recklessly turned from God to pursue a destructive path. Whether it's addiction, rebellion, or sin-fueled choices, the struggle is real — and so is the confusion about how to respond.
Drawing from Luke 15 and other key Scriptures, Pastor Ken offers clear, practical guidance rooted in God’s Word. Learn how to love without enabling, stand firm in truth, and trust God's power to redeem even the most broken lives.
If you're facing the heartache of a prodigal — or heading down that road yourself — this message is for you.
