All right, you guys, it's almost the brand new year. And if you are longing to grow deeper in your

walk with the Lord in 2026, but you don't want to do it alone, I want to invite you to join Faith

that speaks. It's my online women's Bible study community. This year, we're going to be reading

through the Bible together again, and we're adding a brand new Bible study track where we're going to explore

the seven churches of Revelation, learn how to study scripture with confidence, and apply

God's timeless truths to everyday life. Each week you're going to join me and our amazing team

of mentors live on Zoom for teaching, encouragement, and fellowship with other women who genuinely love the Lord.

And this group is tight, I am telling you.

When I'm traveling, our mentor team steps in so you never miss a week of discipleship or connection.

Basic membership at Faith That Speaks is just under $20 a month.

And beginning in 2026, we're going to be introducing exciting new

tiers with even more benefits and access. So if you're ready to grow in the Lord,

build friendships that are rooted in the truth, and develop a faith that actually speaks

into the world around you, come join me. Visit faith that speaks.com to learn more about it

and become part of this thriving community of women who study God's word today.
