Speaking of…. 

To help me encourage you all is our guest speaker is Laura L. Smith. 

Laura Smith is a well-known speaker, podcaster, and best-selling author who has

Written several books including, “How Sweet the Sound: The Power and Promise of 30

Beloved Hymns has sold more than 130,000 copies. — She is incredible!! Laura is so passionate about helping other women, especially passionate about helping them tear down lies, so we can live in Christ's truth! 

In her newest book release, called Brave Women, Mighty God - 30 Things You Can Do. Laura embodies the essence of what it means to encourage women and to give them hope that they can do mighty things with the good that God has placed within them. 

Perhaps you feel called to do something, but every time you step out in faith, you end up feeling unheard, not seen, or stuck in a rut. You may need the fresh power of God to inspire you to be brave in your current situation, much like the woman of the Bible that Laura wrote about. 

God is still writing your story, and I have no doubt He is calling you to rise up and to do brave things, too. Receive the courage that Christ extends to you freely today —- and there’s no telling what will come from your brave obedience to follow His lead. 

Let’s grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, and wherever you are — be encouraged! 

Let’s receive something good today!
