Jesus over everything + you before me

It has been a tragic week in our world. Much of our community is hurting in ways we so badly wish we could take away. Whether you've spent hours on end teaching this week, or you're on the side of needing to do some major learning and unlearning, none of us can deny the heaviness. So before we share our regular weekly recap, we must share this: Women of color, specifically to those of you apart of this community, you are SO loved! We are listening! Thank you for the gracious and godly ways you are engaging with us and those around you. We are honored by your presence and your voice -- which we promise to help elevate. We also promise to not just be click-tivists, doing the bare minimum for social media likes, but to be actual ACTIVISTS fighting for you and your families in the times and places that no one is looking. Not because it's trendy or even just morally right, but because as believers -- we are called to this. Standing up for justice and the oppressed is exactly what Jesus did, and we will follow and do the same. In class Wednesday, Michelle [...]

>>Prioritize productivity to give yourself margin, not just to do more. - Somer Phoebus<< Culture tells us that working hard means working more. But when we measure productivity up to the gospel, it's not more that allows God to work in us and through us, but margin. If you missed this week's class -- The Stop Doing List -- it's worth stopping what you're doing to watch the recording in the member portal or the FB group. There's a companion resource + class notes loaded in the member portal so you can see for yourself just how much your life needs this. (We're already hearing from you about breakthroughs happening in your homes, schedules and responsibilities -- and we're so grateful you're here with us!) Join swHw!

The Top 7 Money Questions swHw Women Have

By |2020-05-08T12:33:42-04:00April 24th, 2020|Uncategorized|

Is tithing just for those who can afford it? Proverbs 3:9-10 says: “Honor the LORD with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.” This proverb, stemming from the instruction from Deuteronomy 26:9-11, commands us to give of the first and best of the harvest. God doesn’t ask us for our leftovers because everything belongs to Him anyway. Rather than questioning why He requests us to give our first tenth of what we have, we really should live in awe and gratitude that God allows us to keep 90% of what is His. We are managers of God’s resources, not the other way around. Yes, it will require faith. And you may even have seasons where tithing doesn’t make budgeting sense. But tithing is the one area where God tells us to test Him and see if He doesn’t provide in overwhelming ways (Malachi 3:10). Should I feel guilty for charging for my products and services as a Christ-follower? Paul said it best in Acts 20:33-35: “I have coveted no one’s silver or gold or clothes. You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my [...]

QUARANTINE CLARITY: what is essential?

By |2020-05-08T12:33:49-04:00April 9th, 2020|Uncategorized|

Between FOMO (fear of missing out) and YOLO (you only live once), there's no question that it takes serious effort to live a life that doesn't require you to live exhausted or mindlessly. But as Somer said it in class yesterday: "One of the ways we deviate from God's calling on our lives is by adding too much to it."  And while we don't want to minimize the challenges many are facing right now, we also don't want to miss the opportunity to learn from what God is doing - because He is always working. We wanted to share an analogy with you from this week’s mastermind that hopefully will help you carefully evaluate your pre-pandemic life. Consider the difference between a buffet and fine dining. BUFFET FINE DINING It’s your responsibility to get the food Buffets are exhausting. (You and your spouse never sit down at the same time: someone needs to go to the bathroom, someone is somehow already ready for ice cream, someone else needs food, someone has to watch the purse, etc.) You get food you don’t even like because you don’t want to miss out. There are lots of mediocre chefs in the [...]
