Let's face it, as 20- and 30-something women, sometimes the daily grind of life leaves us discouraged. We desire to effectively serve God, our families, and our communities, but we often feel like we aren't doing enough. Well enough. We find ourselves in desperate need of a word in due season.
Here at Ungrind, we hope you'll find that word. It's our goal to churn out weekly encouragement by being honest and transparent about our struggles, but in a way that inspires hope, faith, and perseverance. Consider us friends. The kind you feel comfortable sitting across the table with at the local coffee shop.
When you read our webzine, may you be encouraged to press on and daily seek, as Colossians 1:10 says, "to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of Him."
I just skipped around on the beautiful Ungrind site ... It's a fantastic little breath of fresh air.

I am very impressed with the content of Ungrind. It is a place young women can go for encouragement, inspiration, and practical ways to navigate a life of faith. In a world that is telling women to find fulfillment through a million "things," Ungrind reminds us that we fill our cups through the Word of God and the commonality we share as women who pursue Him.

Ungrind is for any woman who has ever felt alone. Alone in her stand for truth. Alone in her insecurities. Alone in living out her potential. It is about community and finding worth first in God and second in the specific purposes He has for women. Reading Ungrind is like sitting down to a cup of coffee with your girlfriends and discovering you're not the only one.

Ungrind speaks to women who yearn to look beyond the surface and get to the heart of life; whose purposes and loves are eternal. Their articles are practical, spiritual, and encouraging. In a world of shiny treasures that will corrode before we can blink, Ungrind helps us focus on the things that matter—remembering that we are, first and foremost, women of God.

Lately I've been recommending Ungrind to the younger women of our church. It's informative, reflective, biblically sound, and targeted specifically to women in their 20's and 30's. In the plethora of women's webzines with "tips on surviving menopause," "empty nest syndrome," and "how to become a boomer babe," Ungrind is refreshing in its approach to reach a younger audience.

Ungrind is a refreshing source for encouragement for today's woman. I'm so thankful this webzine is available! You hit the heart of real issues and real women.
