Overcome obstacles to lead well! Struggling to be obedient to God’s call on your life to lead and influence others? Look no further for a solution. In this book, you’ll find help and encouragement to overcome obstacles that are holding you back. Whether that’s fear of what living out your purpose will take, especially time away from your family, you’ll be inspired by the heroic women of the Bible who walked this walk before you. Not only will you learn to keep your relationship with God a priority in your leadership, you will also learn to apply these lessons in a practical way in your everyday life. And if (more likely when) the time comes for God to call you to something new, you will have tools in place to help you make decisions and finish out your assignment in a way that honors God.

Written with clear language, but filled with biblical wisdom, Misty approaches the topic of women's leadership with boldness, purpose, and passion in her newest book, "Spark Your Influence." Step by step, Misty encourages Christian women to fulfill the purpose God crafted inside them while keeping their mind and heart lifted toward leaving an eternal legacy. Through the book Misty encourages readers to remember that others connect with vulnerability and authenticity, not perfection. The God who gave them the desire will carry them to completion through our submission and obedience. Even seasoned leaders will benefit from the insightful questions and applications at the end of each chapter.

A must read whether you are a business woman or entrepreneur

[Cathy Garland · Rating 5 out of 5]

Misty Phillip’s Spark Your Influence is an inspiring, practical, and deeply encouraging read for any woman who feels called to step out in faith. This book isn’t just about influence—it’s about embracing God’s truth, rejecting the lies that hold us back, and discerning His voice as we move forward.

One of my favorite things about this book is the application questions that invite reflection and action. Misty doesn’t just share wisdom—she challenges readers to engage with it and apply it to their lives.

Some of my favorite chapters include:
✨ Chapter 3: God's Design for Women Leaders – A powerful reminder that leadership is part of God’s design, not the world’s.
✨ Chapter 6: The Myth of the "Hustle" and Reclaiming a God-Centered Creative Life – A much-needed perspective shift from striving to trusting.
✨ Chapter 9: Discerning God's Voice – Essential for anyone seeking clarity on where God is leading them.

All three of these chapters address key areas that women—and all Christians—must wrestle with to further the Kingdom of God. Spark Your Influence is perfect for women feeling the pull to step out, those recovering from burnout, or anyone needing encouragement to walk boldly in their calling.

Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
