Spiritual Motherhood Bible Study

by Lisa Brenninkmeyer

People need to be welcomed home. Will you open the door of your heart? Spiritual The Transforming Power of the Feminine Genius will show you how. But get ready. You will be changed, in the best of ways. This Bible study will lead you on a journey of discovering your true identity, and usher you into your calling to mother this world back to Jesus. Spiritual Motherhood is not just for biological mothers and those who have made religious vows. It's a call to a new way of seeing and a radical gift of self. It’s the feminine genius in action, and it has the power to completely transform our increasingly dehumanizing culture. We are surrounded by people who are desperately searching for a mother. In a world that feels unfriendly, we can provide a refuge. Our homes are to be hospitals—havens of healing. Our dinner tables are to be operating tables—the place where broken souls are made whole again. When we offer this to hearts that are aching and longing to be seen, heaven and earth come together, and sacred space is created. This 25-lesson Bible study includes 21 lessons, 4 journaling lessons, and 9 connect coffee videos.
