    Topic description

    Ever wonder if you’re making a difference in your world? There’s a lot on your plate. Everyday tasks pile up and your weeks are packed. It’s easy to feel like you’re not making a real impact on your loved ones, workplace, or community. But the stories of biblical women answer resoundingly, Yes, you do make a difference!

    Lori Stanley Roeleveld offers you the chance to realize the power of your influence. In examining the lives of pairs of women from the Bible, you will discover how their contrasting choices allowed them to influence future generations. And whether their decisions were wise or unwise, God was able to use their stories to make Himself known. The relevance of their struggles will shed light on the challenges modern women face in making similar choices.

    Over three (or four) talks we’ll review the choices of four pairs of women:

    Mary, Martha, Eve, and Mary: The Surprising Impact of Relationship and Obedience

    Deborah and Jezebel: The Powerful Impact of Influence

    The Woman with the Alabaster Jar and You: The Fragrant Influence of Focused Devotion to Jesus

    Lori will lead your group into humorous but biblical talks about several women in the Bible, the choices they made, their lasting impact, and what we can learn from them. (Based on the book, Graceful Influence: Making a Lasting Impact through Lessons from Women of the Bible, releasing from Our Daily Bread in February 2024).
