Inspire Women's Conference is bringing the breakout sessions to the Inspire On The Go Podcast!

In this episode, we hear from Shari Edwards! Edwards is no stranger to the On The Go Podcast. She's been on before with Andrea to impart her own wisdom and talk all things Inspire Conference, as she helps put it on every year!

As an adjunct professor at Ouachita Baptist University, Edwards is here to share about a topic not all too familiar with most. We've heard about Ruth and Mary, but alongside those inspiring women are other women in the Bible that also prove that God uses women in the same amount as he uses men. She talks about how this alone should be inspiring and shared with the women, young and old, in our lives that no matter what, God can and still uses us even today.

She is intentional about living life to its fullest and seeks out opportunities to help others realize their potential and excel!

In this episode, we hear from one of our friends, Shelly Chandler! Some may know her, but for those who don't, Shelly is an Inspire Coordinator as well as Women's Ministry Director at her local church in Conway, Arkansas. She's also Network Ministry Leader for Central Arkansas. She's married to Michael Chandler and has 3 boys, so you know she knows the hectic lifestyle.

Shelly dives into fear and how it's presented to us in the Bible by God. Did you know that the phrase 'fear not' or something similar to that is in the Bible 365 times?  It's serious business for God, and Shelly dives into Romans 8:15 and Matthew 8:26 to teach us what that phrase should mean to us and how we can use it to fear God in the way he intended.
