In today’s world, living for Jesus can seem pretty intimidating.
Prioritizing the Bible and spending time with the Lord doesn’t come naturally.
It’s far too easy to let the pressures and demands of everyday life crowd out essential spiritual disciplines like prayer or worship.
I’m here to help you, though.
After walking closely with Christ for decades, I know how to prioritize my relationship with Jesus even in a busy life and I’ve helped countless women to do the same.
It all started when I was a little girl and Vacation Bible School was the highlight of my summers. There was something special in all of the songs, crafts, and flannelgraph lessons that centered around Jesus and Bible stories.
As I got older, my interest and love of Jesus and His Word never disappeared. Convincing myself I needed to know more of the Bible, I made it my middle school goal to read through the Bible from cover to cover. The habit that I made then – reading my Bible before I went to bed – never disappeared.
Sure, my schedule changed and I found different times of the day to get into the Word, but the importance of taking time to read, ponder, and study the Bible and to apply what it teaches has never left me.
No matter what I’ve faced in life, I know:
- The Bible is true.
- Through His Word, Jesus has changed my life.
- The Bible is living and active, because the Lord keeps revealing truth to me in fresh, new ways no matter how many times I’ve read the same verses.
Just as this has been true throughout my life, I know it can be true in your own life, too.
From Bible studies held in my little college dorm rooms to talks given in big ballroooms filled with women, I’ve spent the past 30 years helping women of all ages, stages, and walks of life study, understand, and apply the Bible to their everyday lives.
And I would love to help you.
While I would prefer to meet with you face to face, my books, blog posts, and weekly emails are designed to strengthen your faith and help you live for Jesus.
Every woman can live for Jesus.
A little about Hilary Bernstein …
While I’ve been leading small groups of women in Bible studies for decades, over the past 5 years I’ve had the privilege of shepherding 1,000 women at my family’s church.
In my role as Women’s Ministry Director, I’ve discovered how much I enjoy helping women connect with the Lord and each other. I love getting to meet with women in the messiness of everyday life to listen and pray.
Through regular prayer times, Bible studies, worship opportunities, and special events, we’re able to laugh together, cry together, and pray together as we seek the Lord.
As a wife and mom of two grown kids, I also know what it’s like to focus on knowing and glorifying the Lord even as you care for your family, home, and work.
Even in the busyness of life when you feel like you’re being pulled in a million different directions, it’s still possible (and so incredibly beneficial!) to live for Jesus.
By seeking to focus on Christ, you can grow closer to God and live for Jesus even in the busyness of life.
When you join Hilary Bernstein’s online community, you’ll be encouraged and equipped to live for Jesus every day.
Imagine…
- Imagine loving others really well, whether it’s your co-workers, neighbors, or absolute strangers. You can tell that the love of Jesus is changing you and filling you with joy and peace you’ve never had on your own.
- Imagine feeling content, no matter what happens, because you’ve been connecting with Jesus throughout your day in prayer and time in the Word of God.
- Imagine growing in your Christian faith. Instead of feeling clueless about what a Christian “should” do, you notice a big change as you begin to read and understand the Bible.
- Imagine smiling as you crawl into bed at night as you realize you’ve spent moments in your day loving your family well and pointing them to Christ. And you spent time worshiping Him in the midst of life. You might feel worn out after a flurry of activity, and you might not have gotten nearly as much done around your home as you hoped, but it’s OK. Productivity doesn’t matter as much as the people you nurtured.
