A few years ago I read Francis Chan’s book Crazy Love, and it totally changed how I see Christian discipleship. Chan’s book explains how saying “lukewarm Christian” is an oxymoron- Christians are either deeply in love with God, or not Christ-followers at all.

Imagine with me for a moment that you’re a leper in the times of the New Testament. Not only are you battling this painful illness, you’re battling it alone.

Welcome! We are so glad you stopped by. Come Fill Your Cup is a group of Christian ladies dedicated to equipping women for study and service. We know you are busy and that life’s hectic pace pulls you in so many directions, but you can’t truly be the woman God desires unless you take time to fill your own cup…not with spa days (though we love a good spa!) or the latest novel…but with God’s Holy Word. We want to help you with that! Our goal is to reach you in the midst of your busy day and give you encouragement, education, and fellowship as you strive to live the life God has laid before you. Our prayer is that we can help fill your cup so that you, in turn, can overflow to all those around you. So, as we like to say…come fill your cup, and let it overflow!
