Last week we got together with our female staff and staff spouses. We try to get together a few times a year. Each time we meet we try to change it up. We have served together, we have simply gotten to know each other and we have brought in speakers too (this was our last event).
This time we brought in one of my favorite authors, Shaunti Felhahn. We decided to have everyone who normally attends this event invite someone with them. We had the best time. We had ice cream in January. We talked about the core values of Elevation (The Code). We collected items for Pregnancy Resource Center AND gave them a check from the generous people of Elevation for $40K! And we heard from a bestselling author.
Shaunti spoke to us about the inner workings of men and how we can apply what we know about men to working with them and being married to them. Her content is so good. I love it because it is not one woman’s opinion for men, it is a woman’s findings after interviewing thousands of men. If you have never read her book, For Women Only, or For Women Only in the Workplace, you need to get a copy!
Here’s a few pictures from our night…

Thank you so much for extending the invitation! I actually won For Women Only from a giveaway from you a couple years ago and loved it. It was great hearing from Shaunti, and I’ve been keeping many of her words in the back of my head whenever I interact with my husband this week. Thanks for hosting such a great event!

How cool to be a part of something like that, encouraging women in the Lord, such a great idea! I sent this post to the girls in the ministry I am a part of, we plan to host a similar one for us in the future, maybe you can be OUR guest speaker :)
