12 Pillars to Walking in Purpose
YOU WERE BUILT FOR MORE. IT'S TIME TO STEP INTO IT!
Are you tired of feeling busy instead of purposeful? Do you know deep down that you were meant for something significant, but you're constantly fighting self-doubt, exhaustion, or distraction?
We believe your purpose isn't something you have to find—it's something God already built into you. It’s not about striving harder; it's about shifting your identity, embracing your gifts, and walking in alignment with a powerful design already set in motion.
Built for Purpose: 12 Pillars to Walking in Purpose is a transformative 12-month experience designed to take you from searching to succeeding.
This is more than a Bible study; it is a Blueprint for a Purpose-Driven Life that impacts your inner self, your spiritual community, and the world around you.
Over 12 powerful months, we will guide you through the foundational pillars that make a woman unstoppable:
Phase I: The Foundation (Months 1-4): We dismantle doubt and build your inner world—focusing on Identity, emotional Healing, total Surrender, and divine Discernment.
Phase II: The Deployment (Months 5-8): We activate your call—equipping you to use your unique Gifts with Faithfulness and Character through hands-on Service via our Community Impact Project (CIP).
Phase III: The Succession (Months 9-12): We secure your future—teaching you how to harness the power of Community for sustainable Impact and create a powerful Legacy before your final Commissioning launch.
You will know exactly who you are, rooted in unshakable truth.
You will be equipped with a community of purpose-driven sisters who have your back.
You will have proven your capabilities through real-world, meaningful impact.
Your time to stop waiting and start walking is NOW.

To ensure the Holy Spirit moves freely across our hybrid space and that every woman feels seen and heard, we ask our online participants to commit to the following "Heart & Screen" standards:
The "Camera On" Commitment: We ask that you keep your camera on during the teaching and discussion. Seeing your face helps the speaker and your sisters feel connected to you.
Stationary Setting: Please join from a quiet, stationary location. Avoid joining while driving or multi-tasking. Give God this 90-minute window of undivided attention.
The Mute Rule: Keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking to minimize background noise (pets, family, or wind).
The Chat Room: Use the chat for "Amen" moments, scripture sharing, relevant questions or raise hand to speak. Keep it encouraging and focused on the Pillar being taught.
Standard Display Name: Ensure your Zoom/Meeting display name is your First and Last Name so leaders can address you properly.
Portfolio Readiness: Have your Purpose Portfolio and a pen ready at the start of every session. We will have "Action Moments" where we work on worksheets in real-time.
Vulnerability: When we move into group sharing or "turn-and-talk" moments, engage as if you were in the room. Your transparency is a gift to the sisters on the screen with you.
Private Environment: Because sisters may share deep "Healing" or "Identity" struggles, please ensure your computer is in a private space where others in your home cannot overhear the group's personal testimonies. What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.
Early Login: Please log in 5 minutes early to troubleshoot any audio/video issues so we can begin our devotional promptly at the start time.
By agreeing to this etiquette, the participant is practicing Pillar 6 (Faithfulness). It teaches her that her "digital presence" has weight and impact.
