About Thistlebend
We call women to know Jesus, love Him, and follow Him through Bible study, discipleship, and prayer.
It all began in a pink living room.
After fifteen years of Bible study, daily prayer, and serving in my local church, I still didn’t know how to truly live the Christian life. I knew what I believed but not how to take God’s Word to heart and live it out in my relationship with the Lord, my husband, my children, or my community.
Desperate for help, I cried out to the Lord and sought discipleship from the older women in my church. In His wisdom, the Lord made me wait—though I did not always wait patiently. In His perfect timing, He brought a woman who faithfully instructed me in His Word. Through her obedience to God's call in Titus 2, the Lord taught me to know Him, love Him, and follow Him according to His Word.
My husband, Kevin, witnessed the transformation of my heart and my life and the impact it had upon our marriage and our family. He longed to see other women impacted in a similar way and envisioned them sitting in our living room learning what the Lord had taught me. Believing that the Lord would bring women into our home for that very purpose he, much to my surprise, shared his idea to paint the living room pink. I wondered why pink and he replied that he thought it would be nurturing and comforting. He went through five or six shades of pink before finding the right one. Well, the Lord brought the women!
The Lord continued to grow the ministry. He brought other women who desired to work together to provide discipleship Bible study resources that would impact women’s hearts and lives. We all longed to see God call, equip, and encourage women to know Jesus, love Him, and follow Him in faithful Obedience. Since that day, many discipleship Bible studies have been written and taught, and thousands of women have been discipled, and have gone on to disciple others.
