As women, we struggle to feel like we’re good enough because we’re constantly told we don’t measure up. We live in a world that says we have to look a certain way, live a certain lifestyle, have husbands who fit a certain mold, have children that excel in every area of their lives, and more. The result of striving to be something we’re not is deep discontentment and a joyless existence. But what does God say about how we should live our lives? Using an acrostic for the word AUTHENTIC, this retreat will unpack 9 ways we can live the authentic life.
You will be encouraged to:
Accept that God loves you for who you are and where you are in your journey
Embrace realistic expectations for yourself and others
Know there is goodness in you because God created you on purpose and for a purpose
Reject the idea that you have to live fake, plastic lives to be loved and accepted
Create communities that thrive
Dump the lies that keeping you trapped in feelings of worthlessness
Live authentic, real and honest lives with yourself, others and God
(I will provide attendee notes for each session and post-session group discussion questions upon request)
