What is it costing us when half the church’s gifts go untapped? I’ve been wrestling with this question quite a lot lately. Conversations are stirring in the church world of our inability to engage the 21st century female. Here are some things that I hear repeatedly: “I don’t know where I fit in the church.” […]
Stretching regularly can keep you flexible. And the more flexible you are, the less prone you will be to injuries. **Paraphrased from Runner’s World Complete Book of Women’s Running Back in high school I joined a dance team for one year. I know, I know… please don’t mock me. It was the coolest thing our […]
Oh my goodness! I can’t thank you enough for your prayers and encouragement this week! It has been a remarkable few days. Whiteboard was a lot of fun. I just wish I could have stayed longer to hear the other speakers and hang out with all the rest of the attendees. Our Catalyst Dallas lab […]

So I braved a lot of pink and estrogen to attend the Women of Faith conference in Las Vegas this weekend. I have to be honest. I was a little a lot nervous about this adventure. Thousands of women in one place really kind of scares me. Giggles and tears don’t come easily to me […]
