Even though Bobbie Schaeperkoetter is a writer, speaker, teacher, YouTuber, community builder, and an empowerer of women, she has struggled to be vulnerable and authentic. Hear what it took for her to leave a place of isolation to step into a place of new community even as she felt inadequate. Learn about the invitation that surprised her and how it brought her defensive walls down.

Listen in as we (Amy, Bobbie, and Tammy) talk about the challenges of finding community, the fear of rejection or being known for our true selves. And discover the power of community OVER competition.

In this episode you'll hear:

• Through her speaking engagements, what has Bobbie discovered to be the most pressing topic about being in community? It might not be what you think.
• Conversations about the fear of authenticity, rejection, and letting people in
• The awkward ask that Bobbie experienced in reaching out to build a community
• What is a Grace Ninja?
• Encouragement and ideas for building or connecting with community right where you are

 "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." 1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV
