How Advent Teaches Us to Find God In the Feminine
By: Rachel Asproth | December 12, 2016
For most of my life, I didn’t understand the significance of Advent. It paled next to Christmas. And I felt the same indifference for Advent that I had for every other church season.
Pregnant With A Calling To Lead
By: Karen Sethuraman | March 8, 2016
Many women are “pregnant” with a calling, a vision, an idea. They are called to lead, pastor, preach, teach, speak out, plant, champion, and take risks. These women are all waiting for the right time and place to give birth to their visions.
