04 | Creating Community: Starting a Jesus People Sisterhood Support Group Part 2

Hello Jesus People Sisters!

In this episode, Janine and Ellie discuss starting your own Jesus People Sisterhood Community support group. Imagine having a group of sisters around you to help in times of need and to celebrate with you in times of joy, or to just spend time together.

Creating a Jesus People Sisterhood group is a unique support group that is more like a family doing life together than a small group with surface relationships. Jesus People Sisterhood groups are places of safety, help, encouragement, growth, and life-changing relationships.

We give practical steps on establishing a group with suggestions for how to structure meetings and other tips.

We also discuss problems that may arise with members and ways of handling these situations as well as dealing with difficult members.

01 | Welcome to the Jesus People Sisterhood Podcast

Hello, Sisters in Jesus!

Welcome to our very first episode! Meet your hosts, Janine Jordan and Ellie MacCormick, and hear why they created the Jesus People Sisterhood Podcast.

Have you grown weary from the challenges of being an older single, Christian woman?

Do you have a vision for your life? Do you know who you are and how valuable you are to God? “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV).

In today’s episode, we discuss one of the top issues single Christian women over fifty face−loneliness. We also talk about rediscovering life purpose and vision for older women.

If you’ve been looking for an inspirational Christian community created especially for you, a single Christian woman over fifty, then you’ve found your tribe.

May this episode bless you!

Welcome to the Jesus People Sisterhood Podcast, where Christian single women aged 50 plus connect.

Your hosts are Janine Jordan, a Christian Confidence Coach and Leadership Mentor in Alberta, Canada, and Ellie MacCormick, a Christian Longevity Coach and mentor in the USA.

Being single women over 50, we know what it’s like to feel overlooked, to have unrealized dreams, to experience the challenges of singlehood, and to be concerned about what our future will look like.

We couldn’t find anything online for single, Christian women over fifty, so we created Jesus People Sisterhood just for you. A place where sisters encourage and empower one another through the last third of life. Because you are a treasure trove of wisdom and of exceedingly great value! This authentic community is a supportive family with other women on the same journey, where Jesus is the center of it all. Here you will find real talk, real community, and real sisters!

Join us as we discuss: building relationships, whole health, and growing spiritually. We’ll review helpful books and articles, chat with guest speakers, share success stories, and have some laughs along the way. So grab your favorite beverage and we’ll get started.
