Starting the New Year with…
***Comments Closed***
What could be better than starting the new year with the giveaway ? At the end of this post you can find out how to can enter this marvelous giveaway. Lori had the opportunity to review Tara Barthel’s Peacemaking Church Women’s Study, “Living the Gospel in Relationships“. What is even more exciting, Lori got together for an interview with Tara.
I am excited to introduce you to Tara Barthel. The Lord, who always has perfect timing, brought this DVD Series before me to review while I was recuperating from a recent minor surgery. The Lord knew I would not be going anywhere and he had some things to teach me. So every morning at 5am Tara and I met through her DVD study, and the Lord opened my heart to more of Him.
This Women’s Study, “Living the Gospel in Relationships” not only gave me the tools I need when dealing with conflict, but she opened my eyes to idols in my life I did not even know existed. I am already praying for the right person to win this bible study, but if you don’t win this giveaway, I strongly encourage you to consider telling your church about this wonderful Woman’s Study. Without further ado…
- Tara I am so excited to have you visiting us here at Laced With Grace. Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
I often describe myself as a “recovering lawyer” because my background is in the law and business, but currently I am a homemaker. I’m married to the world’s kindest man, Fred, and I have a five-year old daughter, Sophia Grace. Our home is very organized (I love office supplies!) but dusty and full of Golden Retriever hair (because I don’t vacuum enough). Before Sophie was born, I worked for Peacemaker Ministries—I was their first female senior staff member and I was responsible for all Christian conciliation cases, church interventions, and conciliator training. In 2005, I co-authored the book, Peacemaking Women, and in 2007, I recorded the video series that you are giving away in this drawing.
- In your Women’s Study, “Living the Gospel in Relationships” the first thing you tell listeners to do, is to be a Berean. Can you tell us what that means?
This term is taken from Acts 17:10-11. Paul and Silas had just been taken away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went to the synagogue and met Jews, Bereans, who were “more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so” (Acts 17:11, ESV).
I start the video series by encouraging the women to “be Bereans” because I long for all Christian women to saturate their minds with Scripture and test what they read and hear to see if what is being taught to them is true. It grieves me how unbiblical the theology is of many Christian authors and speakers—particularly those marketed toward women.
Yes, we have a lot of fun in “Living the Gospel in Relationships.” And no, I’m not a dry, boring speaker, as I’m sure you will attest to. But I do pray that I am rigorously biblical in my teaching; that I am a Christ-centered, gospel-proclaiming, thinking Christian.
- How has the Peacemaking Principles of responding to conflict biblically changed how you handle conflict in your own life?
I am so grateful for the biblical peacemaking principles taught by Peacemaker Ministries. Prior to reading The Peacemaker (by Ken Sande), I simply had no idea how to glorify God and love my neighbor—especially my Christian neighbor—when conflicts came. When should I overlook? How could I ever redemptively confront another person? What does it mean when I tell someone, “I forgive you?”
The Peacemaking Principles have given me the biblical and practical help I need to live out what I claim to believe. I now know the opportunities that conflict gives me and how I can get help in my local church if a conflict “gets stuck.” It’s still hard to be confronted, of course, but I see now how much I need godly, loving, firm accountability and confrontation to help me in my journey of progressive sanctification. And I now know the sweetness of genuine forgiveness and reconciliation—that relationships really can be restored because of the power of the Cross!
- I like it when you said the second thing we need to do when listening to the study “Living the Gospel in Relationships” is not to spend time thinking of the person who really should be hearing the study! Can you share more in how we fall in that trap when we listen to a bible study?
Whenever we hear something as life-changing and eternally-important as these biblical peacemaking principles (and I’m not using hyperbole—check out John 13:35 and John 17:20-23 to see what I mean), it is natural to be excited about telling others. We think about family members in a decades-long conflict; a couple in our church who is contemplating divorce; a feud at our local school.
We can be particularly tempted to think about someone who has hurt us—how they shouldn’t have done such-and-so; and how they were wrong when they did XYZ. It can be tempting to pop a “Peacemaker Brochure” in an unmarked envelope and “just happen” to leave it in their mailbox.
But if our focus is on others, we are missing the first step. In all of life, our focus is to be on the Lord. His glory. His Kingdom. His purposes. His plan. As we worship Him rightly and catch even a glimpse of His perfection and holiness, we are not going to be filled with criticism of others. Instead, we are going to see our own sin and fallenness and repent.
Worship of the Lord and humble repentance is the first step of biblical peacemaking. We cannot forgive and love others until we first remember how much we are forgiven and loved by God.
- Thank you so much for joining us. Is there any verse the Lord has laid upon your heart for the New Year? Also is there anything that you are working on that you can share with us?
I recently blogged from Hebrews 2: “Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation?”
I am praying for grace to not neglect such a great salvation as has been lavished on us by our Heavenly Father!
My next project is a series of board books and beginner-level books addressing relationships among toddlers, preschoolers, and young children (and their mothers!). Because kids never fight, right? ?
Thanks for having me. Please let me know if there is every anything I can do to serve you and your precious Laced with Grace readers.

Is there any way to purchase one copy of the entire set, there are several dvd’s listed on her website but I’m not sure which ones are included in the set. Any information that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I really really want to do this study. Thank you! My e-mail address is [email protected]

Wow. What a wonderful giveaway. I would love this and it would really help me.
25. Comment by Harrison on January 1st, 2009
Thank you so much. I am in so much pain right now, caused by the faithlessness of the person I thought would be with me throughout eternity. She has started to listen to “friends”, (divorced ladies that are trying to get their married female friends to “go out with them”) who tell her “life is short you should live it up”. I think what they’re trying to do is destry anybody who has somethingthat they don’t have. This peacemakers approach might help me to deal with these women. While I know my wife has not been unfaithful in that she hasn’t slept with anyone else, She has been unfaithful to our marriage in that she makes dates to meet with men and I believe it is for more than dinner.
26. Comment by Harrison on January 1st, 2009
addendum to previous post. She is always home by 10PM and I know where she is at but I think this is a near occasion of sin and a very slipery slope to disaster. All of this is promoted by these ladies who tell her”God wants you to have fun”.They use God to try to lure her and it is probably just a matter of time until she is one of them. A divorced lady trying to lure other married women into destruction. My wife refuses to go to our pastor because she now believes that she going out dancing and drinking to excess (including drunk driving) with God’s permission and even encouragement.

I love that there is a series out there for women on peacemaking! When our church went through a painful split 5 years ago, the pastor used Ken Sande’s book. It didn’t restore the break…but it did help those of us who stayed.
92. Comment by Terri Sue on January 1st, 2009

93. Comment by Lori on January 1st, 2009
I have been praying for a Bible study to share with my new friends in my new city (we have been here for 6 months, and I can’t find a local church with a morning Bible study, so I feel led to hold one in my home). I just read the following description of your study and afterward, tears were streaming down my face. I have Bipolar Affective Disorder and although I was saved at the age of 5, I didn’t begin to really feel God’s love until I was 31. I am now 35. God is healing me, and has brought me so very far from where I used to be, but I still struggle with self-worth and guilt. I feel that I must always be busy, and have a general feeling of being a failure…like I am always messing up. My husband and 3 daughters suffer because of this, and so do I. I feel alone, although I know I am not.
When I read the description, I identified with it so much and I knew that this study would be perfect for me. Not only for me, but one of my new friends could benefit from the study, as well. When we first met 3 months ago, she asked me how to forgive someone who has hurt her really badly. Knowing that forgiveness is a work of God’s grace flowing through us, I felt led to ask her if she had ever asked Christ to be her Lord and Savior. She hadn’t, and so we prayed and she became a Christian right then and there! Her schedule is so busy that a study in my home would bless her (and her marriage and 2 daughters) very much.
I sure do hope I win this study. Thank you so much for considering me. The following is the description of your study which I spoke about:
Many Christian women struggle to live out what they believe.
While in their heads they know they are saved by grace, in their hearts they often feel distant from God and burdened by guilt.
They have a nagging sense of not being “good enough,” and the striving that results leaves little room for either peace or joy. They often feel the need to perform to earn the love of God and the love of others. In turn, their relationships with others often reflect this same performance mentality.
To top it off, as they face these struggles and difficult relationships, they sometimes feel utterly alone.
94. Comment by Rebecca on January 1st, 2009

115. Comment by Sheila on January 1st, 2009
Where does one begin to share. I’ve had many relationships in my life that have had such wounds. Over the years two of my dearest friends turned on me with venom and wounded deeply. The Lord said to love them and die to self, to pray for them and He brought reconciliation. He has guided me through relationships with my sexual abuser, with family members like my own mother who didn’t want me, through divorce with my children’s father, to a new husband that left me but returned. Through it all God has been faithful. He has taught me so much on what relationships should be on my part regardless of what the other person chooses to do. I am a Bible study coordinator for a church and would love to have a Biblical series to teach the women about living Christ’s way which is so unlike our own way. I would love to be chosen to receive this series because it would affect so many women that would in turn affect so many others in their lives. Thank you for all the ladies who blog in His name and all that you do to encourage them. God bless you sisters!
