Women, it's time to experience your full place in God's story! The reality is that the community of the Godhead has designed humanity in the image of God ... fashioned in both female and male.

There's a severe battle over defining what is real in our lives. Circumstances, challenges, and people issues make this claim: “This is reality for you. Get used to it!” But there is “real” and there is "really real." Jesus says, “I have a HIGHER REALITY which supersedes LOWER REALITY. Trust Me. Work with Me. You’re going to get free indeed and experience everything I have for you.”...
