We bring Christian women in Western Australia together through honest stories.
Stories I'd Tell You at Dinner
These are the stories we pass to you, along with the bread and the wine, not to make us look good, but to remind ourselves of His goodness.
What you can expect
Once a week, on a Wednesday, from March - November, Stories I’d Tell You at Dinner will land in your inbox. One week, you get essays and poetry from our team of local Christian women. The alternate week, you get the latest episode from our podcast, The After Dinner Mint. We are a reader-supported publication, but all of our content is free.
The essays and poetry explore:
Singleness and marriage
Motherhood and fertility
Grief, loss and disability
Caring responsibilities (i.e., for older adults, foster kids, people with disabilities, or a sick spouse)
Female friendship, mentor relationships, and deep connection
Establishing and maintaining community
Everyday hospitality and food
Vocation and career
Rest, service, ministry, and sustainable sacrifice.
Living well with technology
I want honest encouragement in my inbox on Wednesdays 👇🏻
No sermons.
No advice.
No self-help.
We share stories that are:
Honest
We value vulnerability, not trauma porn. Healthy boundaries are important. We share honestly, not to shame or cancel others, but with grace for people in our stories.
Encouraging
We want you to establish and persevere in hope, faith, and deep connections with people in your real life. We love the messy, imperfect local church. We love messy, imperfect people. We are messy, imperfect women and we need each other.
Hospitable
Like a dinner with friends, sometimes the conversation is about faith and sometimes it is about other things, but our friends who don’t believe yet are welcome to join us at the table.
Beautiful
God made everything, he is beautiful, and the source of all beauty (Psalm 96:6). Scripture tells us to think about things that are true, honourable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8)
