ALONGSIDE MINISTRY WIVES NETWORKING LUNCH

12:00 – 1:00 PM
Audience: All Pastors’ Wives
Location: TBD
Topic: Curiosity: Developing the Link Between Your Journey and Another’s
Speaker: Coletta Smith
Your story matters because it is how you fit into God’s plan. But it’s not just about your story. The women that you are pouring into have stories that matter too. And your story can be the bridge that helps these women see God’s hand in their lives. But we aren’t always granted admission into others’ stories, especially in a generation that is highly skeptical and cautious. So how do we allow our story as pastors’ wives be something that God uses to connect us with others. Curiosity is the key that gains us admission into the lives and hearts of others. We will dig into intentional mentoring and how to develop a heart of curiosity that builds a bridge to those God’s brings to our shores. This gathering contains intensely practical and meaty tools wrapped in great conversation.
