Ep 235 Be Refreshed, Know Your Purpose, Fight the Battle with Sarah Birkbeck

Thirteen years ago, Sarah felt stirrings in her heart and spirit—she knew she was meant for something in God's great purpose plan. She just didn't know what. So she invited some friends over. Four came. They talked about their own dreams and stirrings and how they might fit into God's great story of love and design. From small beginnings—you've heard the adage—great things emerge when offered to God with humility and perhaps, some trepidation. REFRESH.ORG was born and now reaches 1,000's of women. I love how God does math. Loaves and fishes offered to the Muliplier and Distributor. 

Join Sarah Birkbeck today on my podcast and find out how God led her to help women "join the battle" to  do God's will with joy and intention. And if there's still room for REFRESH 2025,  she's offering a 50.00 off coupon to our listeners. Go sign up today! www.refreshwomen.org

Some gems from our conversation:

• We tend to diminish what God's put inside of us for his kingdom work, thinking that who we are and what we offer can't make a difference for him or for others. 
• The act of pressing into the Lord even while exhausted and ready to quit provides all the strength needed to do his will with joy and confidence.
• I didn't have much to offer: this house, these friends, these stirrings; but God took what I had and Refresh was born.
• To lead women to the Father is the most important step in unlocking the dream potential that he's placed inside of each of us. 
• REFRESH means to enliven, stimulate, fortify and revive—God wants to revive the dreams lying dormant within each and every woman. 
• The truth is that at one time or another  every woman feels forgotten, inadequate or stuck in the thought of "I really don't know at all what I'm doing!" 
• To activate Christian women to advance the kingdom of God is my battle cry; to assemble the troops, position them for battle and carry out what God had in mind all along.
