Listen in: What Are Women Longing For?
Women are wearing more hats than ever: student, professional, friend, sister, mother, daughter, and everything in between. Slowing down long enough to consider what it is you really long for is an opportunity to connect with parts of your soul that need attention.
As we continue our summer series, What Are You Longing For?, Lynn spends some time with Crossing Women’s Director, Jeannette Cover, sharing honestly about the things that women often long or wish for. It turns out that your longings for validation, affirmation, peace, confidence, and hope are real (and valid) and not going away.
Lynn and Jeannette highlight the importance of encouragement in the lives of women and acknowledge that it can be rare and hard to find. While our lives may look happy on the outside, many of us are carrying heavy burdens, and struggling to make sense of our current realities.
Many women have thoughts, feelings, longings, and unmet needs that they think are unique. But when we normalize sharing our deepest struggles, we can validate each other’s feelings and receive empathy and hope.
As a woman managing so many roles, how do you keep going? How do you remain faithful? You do that through encouragement. You need encouragement yourself, but might struggle to encourage other people. In this episode you will learn how important it is to be honest about your thoughts and feelings so you can give and receive the encouragement you need to keep going in life.
That’s why we want to offer you a 30-Day Encouragement Challenge as a way for you to connect with God and the people you care about most. While you may not always have your longings met, you can provide encouragement to your friends and family who are also on the journey of waiting, hoping, and trusting in God's promises even when life is hard.
