"The four boys we had within 5 years are now old enough to pour their own cereal, so most of my sanity has returned. You'll likely find me carrying a mug of coffee, even if it's decaf (don't judge!). Also, thyroid disease has NOT got the best of me." 😉

It can be such a challenge to apply what the Word of God says to our messy lives, right?! But it doesn't have to be. TRUTH: You can live each moment in the grace and authority God has given you!

Here's the thing: you either sweat in training or bleed in battle. Putting some sweat into training in the Truth will help to avoid all that unnecessary bleeding because the battles of life are inevitable.

+ Work the right muscles in your mind & emotions

+ to make the decisions

+ that create the reality you want to live, filled with Truth!

Overview

Crown & Sword will equip you to embrace the royal title you are given when you step into relationship with God, and also to obediently live a powerful, efficient, and effective life.

This curriculum is a training tool to help you actually do the work, reaching the full potential of who God created you to be.

2 Timothy 1:7 says: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

Crown & Sword walks through a journey of applying 2 Timothy 1:7 in four parts:

1) Renounce fear

2) Claim and maintain the Spirit of power over your own life

3) Embrace the royal title given to you in love

4) Engage in the seasons of life with the spirit of discipline

If you are woman in a relationship with our Mighty God, you have been given a CROWN and a royal title, and you have been commissioned to use the SWORD of truth to fight the good fight. You are a Royal Warrior!
