A NOTE FROM LYNDSEY
Incredible Women,
The answers to the questions above were given from a group of true heroes.
They are women who are making a difference in this world for the kingdom of God. Mothers. Professionals. Wives. Single Women. Leaders. All who love Christ and are seeking to honor Him within their sphere of influence.
And truth be told... I think these answers likely apply to all women.
Whether you are a physician doing rounds at the hospital or a real estate broker leading a team or a full-time homemaker with young ones at home, you are impacting the world.
Women are molding the next generation as they care for children (the hardest job there is!) as well as pouring out their lives in the marketplace, the ministry world, their neighborhoods, and more.
Women are working their tails off.
And feeling the wear and tear.
If you are a woman seeking to serve Christ with your life -- thank you for being you. For fighting to keep God first. For leaning into hearing and following His voice... while you love your family, while you serve your clients or wash dirty laundry or finish payroll or drop off kids at soccer practice.
It is one of my life's missions to help women like you experience fullness of life in Christ -- spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.
I look forward to sharing more of the dreams in my head with you soon. Dreams of groups of women from around the country leaning into God's presence and RECEIVING from Him in the deepest places of their souls.
Taking a Break from the Overwhelm. Finding Rest from Fatigue. And Having Peace instead of Anxiety.
It is entirely possible.
Stay tuned. There will be a Part 2 to this survey coming soon and a FREE Training...
