What is a Motherwise group?

Interested in starting a MotherWise group?

Great! Let's get started.

There are three basic components of a MotherWise Group: 

Bible Study----Prayer-----Mothering Skills.


Bible Study 

This component of the MotherWise group is where members are taught specific Biblical lessons. The lessons are taught via DVD by Denise Glenn. Denise's natural teaching style is authentic, accurate, and endearing to mothers of all ages. MotherWise student workbooks are used for individual study and daily devotion to encourage and educate group members to develop a daily walk with our Lord and Savior. Women will discover from the Scriptures the principles for spiritual growth, marriage, and parenting.


Prayer

This component of the MotherWise group is when members break into smaller groups for a more intimate time of sharing and praying together for their individual and corporate concerns. Mentoring Moms and/
or Team leaders lead the small group prayer segment of each meeting. Women praying with women about their concerns is a powerful part of each MotherWise meeting. MotherWise provides specific guidelines for prayer that have proven to be very effective in a group  settings. (Prayer time guidelines are contained within our Leader's Guide.)

Mothering Skills

MotherWise Mentoring Moms/Team Leaders lead the women to discuss practical mothering skills using the discussion questions in the workbooks  These marriage and mothering skills cover such topics as effective discipline, creating a quiet time, proper family nutrition, communication with your child, etc. Creative leaders may choose to use different methods such as skits, activities, and dramas to make discussion more fun. Ideas to get your thinking started are in the Leader's Guide. (Guidelines for teaching MotherWise Skills are found in the Leader's Guide.)



 
So, where do I start? Prayer. Ask God if you are called to lead MotherWise in your church, neighborhood, workplace or community. If you get a green light, check out our Webstore for information on each study. We recommend starting with a sample pack of Wisdom for Mothers. It will contain all the information you need to understand and get started leading the women in your area. We also have area leaders in several states in the U.S. and in various locations around the world. We would be delighted to help you get started.
