Season three and we find ourselves pausing, reflecting, and allowing new beginnings. Our hope is that we can begin to honestly explore the new things the Spirit is calling us to.
Season Two –
Provocative Conversations
Dive in with us! Season two we are not shying away from the topics that fire people up. We will learn from a diverse group of authors that will expand our vision, and challenge our assumptions about God and the “other”. Our hope is that we can begin to humbly explore these juicy topics that we rarely get a chance to experience in church.
Season One: Finding Our Voice
We are so thrilled to launch Girls Faith, home of the Gift Girls’ Faith Book Club with accompanying full length scripture readings, reflection questions for groups or journaling, and other musings for the journey. Our hope is to encourage those who feel on the fringe of their faith communities, left out, pushed out, misfit, or discouraged.
The purpose of humanity is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
