Many of us act on information without having carefully pondering it. “Zeal is not good where reflection is wanting, He who goes too quickly misses His way” Proverbs 19:2. It’s good to take time apart and get quiet, and listen for answers as we make decisions that affect the lives of others. Where in your life are you acting on “information” without seeking “answers”?

Dr. Cassie Barlow began as a small town girl with big dreams of higher education. Driven by faith from the beginning, Cassie turned to the military to further her education and found an extension of the family foundation she was born into. Her career took her around the world and her faith anchored her in each of her 13 placements. Her career would eventually lead her to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base where she commanded one of the largest air base wings in the Air Force with more than 5,000 Air Force military, civilian, and contractor employees.

In this episode Cassie will share how her family of origin formed her faith, a faith that would bring her to an extended military family. Cassie went to The Answering Place many times in her journey and will host Women in Christian Leadership's Virtual Roundtable topic "He Went To The Answering Place" from Jesus in Blue Jeans by Laurie Beth Jones.

While many choose to wallow in self-pity when life doesn’t deal them a full deck of cards, Candice Crear chose to convert her pain into a greater purpose. At the age of 2 years old her father walked out of her life. After dealing with the pain of rejection, anger and depression for many years, she decided to make a choice that would change her life forever – to heal.

Now this two-time award-winning finalist, and four-time best-selling author is committed to leading fatherless women worldwide from the road of adversity to the highway of wholeness. As she continues to conquer new ground with From Fatherless to Fearless®, she understands that by giving women the tangible tools they need to move forward, she can also challenge them to confront their true story of power and strength. Candice is determined to change the community one woman at a time.

She will share how God interrupted her life and put her in the "waiting room" to prepare her for her healing journey.

Cheryl will share the journey from her head, to her heart, and into her book. She believes in keeping an open mind and an open heart and lives in a place of gratitude. God provided Cheryl with many invitations, showing up through others, asking her to join him in a life changing, intimate relationship.

Cheryl likes keeping things simple and believes God wants us to just love “on” each other and let him love “on” us. God is a good Father, a provider and he’s also a friend, just talk to him as if he’s your BFF.

This episode will teach us to say “yes” to an intimate relationship with God; Believe in Angels and the Power of Prayer; and that God has a plan and it’s a good plan!

In this episode of Leveraging the Power of H.O.W. we'll learn H.O.W. to silence the voice in our head that keeps us from leaping into the purpose God has made for us. What thoughts do you prioritize? Don't let the doubts on the surface shadow the truth that lies beneath. “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

True humility is knowing you’re nothing without God, but that you’re everything with him. Don't let doubt become the fuel that limits your passion and purpose. Doubt is the devil dancing. It's time he sat the next one out!

When Jesus looked at people, He did not see them as defined by their labels or their job descriptions—He recognized their true worth. What are we undervaluing in our workplace, in our relationships, in our life? In this episode we will explore what holds us back from being the person God intended us to be.

Melissa will take us through the steps she takes to regularly unpack and dig deep into her backpack to access God’s gifts and blessings, including: Understanding what holds us back; Why it's important to break free; How to break free; and how to leverage community and other resources to find our true worth.

During the month of May we are focusing on our WORTH!!! "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." We are kicking this off with a reply of our interview with Sherry Pitts sharing how Jeremiah 29:11 became the foundation of faith that led Sherry to realize her worth and leverage her greatest purpose as a mother of six to inspire and encourage others to step into the journey God has planned for them.

Sherry will also lead Women in Christian Leadership's Coffee and Conversation virtual session on May 6 at 9:00 that will teach women about worth and the purpose God has designed for us. She will provide tools to extract the gifts and talents within us. When God places HIS hands on us, our lives “CHANGE” for the better. You can register at www.womeninchristianleadership.com.

As Women in Christian Leadership we are called in to serve, "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10

In this episode we will celebrate the end of National Volunteer Appreciation Month by exploring servant leadership and H.O.W. we can humbly leverage our God given talents to impact the lives of others, openly explore the ways in which we can apply these gifts to serve without fear and willingly step into the work God has planned for us.

Are you called to serve or minister? Pamela will share how she honors the call that's always been on her Life and what it means to be a woman in ministry.
