I was torn about what to share on the podcast this week. I didn’t feel comfortable continuing, business as usual, with the next episode and neglecting what feels like a really important decision being made in the U.S. right now.

So I did something that felt out of my comfort zone but also like the right choice: instead of releasing the episode I’d planned for the first week of November, I am sharing my heart about what I believe we as passionate, ambitious Christian women who are part of the body of Christ need to be thinking about right now, no matter how the presidential election is decided this week.  

We need to be part of the solution.

I don’t think anyone would disagree that the U.S. is experiencing an incredible level of divisiveness, brokenness, hurt, anger, frustration, and the list goes on. I’ve seen Christians pitted against Christians – people who claim the grace and mercy given on the cross through the death and resurrection of Christ our Savior – and who are responding out of fear, who seem to have forgotten our King on the throne. Or who think possibly, maybe this time, we are too far gone as a nation to find a way back to hope, healing and reconciliation.

I want us to resist that temptation.

And I want to challenge you – the dreamer of God-shaped dreams, the woman who lies awake at night with a vision burning a hole in your mind and heart that won’t let up. I challenge you to pay attention to what’s driving you, seek out your own healing where that is needed, and rise up to bring the redemptive light of Jesus into a hurting and broken world.

This episode suggests five steps you can take right now, three resources I personally offer to help you take those steps, and a handful of past podcast episodes that will support you on that journey (just check out the show notes for those). All of it flows from the Ephesians 6 verses that came to mind for me on Monday when I was asking God what this episode needed to be about.

I hope it meets you where you are today or whenever you might be listening.
