Encouraging and equipping moms to parent with God's grace and confidence.

Read An Excerpt: Chapter 1 & 2

There’s Still Time to Sign Up!

In just over 15 days, I’ll be doing something I’ve never done before, and I’m planning it with you in mind. I’m so excited.

I wish we were meeting in a coffee shop so I could look across the table and invite you personally, because if I could I would!!

I’d invite you to join me on  a journey – a journey of finding out just how much God has for you. A process of uncovering doubts that hold you back and God’s truth that can set you free.

Free to see how significant you are in Christ.

Free to discover and live in your God-given purpose, passion and personality!

 

Free to say good-bye to guilt-induced doubt and hello to grace-induced confidence!

 

I’ll be hosting an online study right here beginning next month, and I’d love for you to join me! I have a short video message for you because sometimes it’s easier to say it when you want someone to hear your heart:

Beginning January 16th, I’ll create a gathering place for us to meet here – women from all over – who want to live A Confident Heart together. We’ll talk through each chapter and identify  our most common self-doubts. And we’ll learn how to overcome our insecurities by learning how to to live in THE security of God’s promises! I’m so excited about all God’s laying on my heart for our study, and I’d love for you to be part of this special community each week where we’ll share encouragement, prayers and life changing stories of all God is doing in us!

  1. Hello sisters in Christ : ) i am looking forward to this bible study…..i am in desperate need of life support from our Great God and Loving Savior!!! my season of pain and torment of my past sin has gone on long enough…..it is time to break free!!! i am in spiritual warfare for the beautiful life that awaits me in Jesus’ arms…..get away from me satan. Evil is taken great delight in trying to break my marriage apart…but i am not backing down..no matter what satan puts in my husbands mouth to break me apart….with God beside me,…..we will presevere!!! i pray for all of you sisters….i hope to become close to you and make relationships that will last into the heavens 😉 Praise be to Our Mighty God and His Saving Grace Son Jesus
    Amen!!!!!!

  5. I’m so looking forward to your study. I most definitely need confidence in my life. I struggle with an abusive childhood that has left me with very little self -esteem and confidence. II try to join groups to get involved and learn how to help people but lately I’ve had 2 surgeries in Oct. that has left me home bound with a nurse visiting me and a hole in my stomach that won’t heal. The longer I stay home the more I don’t want to get out and be around anyone or have to talk to anyone. I don’t want to answer the phone. It’s scarying me to talk to people. God saved me from a botched surgery 10 years ago that almost cost me my life several times. I know he’s got a purpose for me since I’ve had so many more surgeries in these past 10 years but I can’t seem to get discipline and motivated to find out what He wants me to do. I pray it’s possible for me to end these struggles I have and turn them all over to God. Thanks for listening.

  7. I may have already signed up, but can’t remember for sure. Didn’t want to miss it. Looking forward to the Bible study!

  8. I might be signed up twice 🙂 so I guess I’ll be doubly sure to show up!
    I’m excited to get started! I love the mystery of a new book and a new study. I also love the honestly of online communities – when you don’t have to look someone in the eye, there’s no fear of rejection.
    I plan on coupling this study with a live and in-person small group at church – I hope I can keep up with both!

  9. I am so grateful to have found this book quite by accident. I found it through Proverbs 31 Ministries and a very good reading that spoke to right where I am. My hope is in the Lord, but i have no hope in me. I have beaten myself up badly over my 55 yrs of life and I will need strength to recover and change my ways. I need structure, i can’t do it by myself. I am alone in this, after losing family who is tired of trying to help me.” I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” but I feel absolutely hopeless right now…I speak the truth and wait on Him. I have used every worldly thing to try to “feel better”, it has put me in total despair with nobody and nothing but me and God. Best place to be???? It supposedly is, but i feel like dying…No purpose…help me Lord…I pray this study is a tool that will finally get me out of the darkness of despair and weariness…Help me Lord…

  10. I am signed up for your online Bible study and looking forward to it. I haven’t purchased the book yet and would love to win a free copy! Thanks for offering this chance to win a copy Renee!

  11. I have signed up for the Online bible Study and I am Looking forward to it. What a Great Way To Start the New Year! Thank You!

  12. What a journey God has sent me on. I was in the desert for well over 20 years. Thru a God-centered program, I finally reached the Promised Land. Along comes your study, and I hear God saying,”garden your heart and life”. I am ready for the next step…to learn to live confidently in Christ. Thank you for the opportunity.

  13. I signed up when you first introduced this study, and I am so looking forward to it. Thank you for doing this study again, Renee. I hope to someday get a few women together to do a study in my home. Your book is amazing and has helped me alot.

  14. Renee,

    i have signed up for the study and I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me but I don’t have the book yet.

  16. I am excited about this opportunity for community with other women around the issues of a “confident heart.” I serve as Coordinator of Women’s Ministries for my denomination – headquarters based out of Charlotte, NC. Just recently, I made the trip over to the Proverbs 31 ministry building. You were not there but I was given a peak into your office along with the others in that facility. I was very impressed. I was among the women of the audience when you and Abby spoke at the Chuck Mathena Center in Princeton, WV. I am a pastor’s wife and I teach Bible in the public school system there. I will be sharing this on-line study with the women of my church and area as well as the women of my denomination. Thanks for all you are doing to make this available. Looking forward to the study.

  17. I am so excited to be in this study! I have book and am so ready!!! I really need this!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!!! I want to be a better person in 2012 and love the Lord more!!!!!!

  18. So excited for this study! Due to my work schedule I am unable to participate with my churches programs, but have a definite need to study God’s word with other believers! I have downloaded the book and can’t wait get started!

  21. I signed up and posted a link on my facebook wall. I am really excited to do this study. I don’t have the book yet, but am reading the first two “chapters”….

  22. Hi Renee, I am looking forward to this bible study. I am excited with an expectancy to hear from God through whatever material that he gives you. I also think it is a great way to start the New Year with a good solid foundation that one can then build upon. I look forward to studying with my fellow Confident Ladies.

  23. I’m in. I can’t wait to re-read the book and study it with you. Hope someday you’ll be in Nashville,TN so I can meet you in person.

  24. Thank you for offering this bible study. I feel that it is a sign from God. I have struggled with rejection all of my life and I am currently going through a ruff time and I am excited about this bible study. Thank you for offering this and I look forward to what God has planned for me through you. Many blessings.

  25. I have signed up for your study. I didn’t get a chance to do the study with Melissa Taylor so this will be great. I don’t have the book yet so winning a copy would also be great.

    Thank you,
    Lynn

  26. Renee,

    I have signed up for your study. This will be the second time around for me since I also participated in Melissa Taylor’s study. I wanted to have the principles deeply implanted in my mind and heart so I signed up again. I’m looking forward to studying with you and the other ladies.

    God bless.

  32. I am at the point in my life that I truly need to know the direction God wants me to go with my life. I signed up am looking forward to this Bible study in hopes that it will shed some light and help me to seek God for direction.

  34. I just signed up for the online study and I am looking forward to learning more about being confident in God

  35. It’s been a long time since I have been involved in a bible study and I am desperate for fellowship and growning in the Lord. Also, I have so much insecurity and have been asking God to help me get over it. Have last my best friend and sister in-law last October and still working through alot of pain in this area. I went to Longview Texas for six weeks and helped her come to terms about dieing and was able to help her talk through her fears. My heart is drawn to help people pass from this life as peaceful as possible. Will see what God has in store for me.

    Thanks you!’

  36. I believe the email that came today notifying me of this study came for a reason. Last Oct my mother passed away, she was 89 and had fought cancer for two years. Hospice came to help her, and through that experience I realized God had been leading me down this road for a long time; with my nursing experience, going through the grief process of losing both parents, and my training to be a Stephen Minister. I believe God had a reason for it all but I still felt insecure in what my own ablities were. When I sent in the application to work with the local hospice, I put the envelope in the mailbox and prayed “God if this is what you want me to do, then help me to realize that this is the right path for me. Well, apparently I came through the security check okay and my references checked out as well, now I’m waiting for an appt for the physical. I still have doubts that I’m right for this, that I have something to offer to those in the last phrase of their lives or to the families who going through the process of losing a loved one.

  37. Hi Renne, I just signed up for your online study, I am super excited about it! After going without a job for 1 year and 2 weeks I have been thru alot. I start my new job Jan 3 2012 and just so thankful that I have finally found a job, it is just on call or causual but it is a start, only 10 weeks of unemployment left so everyday I can work prolongs my unemployment and hopefully get something full time.. So many rejection letters and emails, gets very discouraging, But I know the Lord has a plan for me, and has carried me through all this so far. I am a single Mom of a 9 year old girl and I am so thankful for Jesus! Without him I would have never made it through this last season in life. Your encouragement through the proverbs 31 ministies has been a blessing everyday when I recieve it in my email. I look forward to it every morning.
    Excited to be a part of the study.

  38. I know what God’s plan for me. One road block after another pops up. It is this that makes me even more determined.

  40. Lack of confidence and insecurity has marked and shaped my entire life and has negatively influenced my decisions. Although I have learned to mask it well, it still lurks in the back of my mind. My hope is that this study will help build my confidence to become all God wants me to be. Thank you, Renee!

  47. I am looking forward to gaining the confidence I know I should be having in Christ. The freedom that comes at the times when I do is amazing to me. What I need to learn is how to have that more consistently and share it with others. Thank you for doing this.

  49. Looking forward to this study. Doubts and unknown slow me down at times. Felling me spare time with Gods word gives me peace and joy..

  50. I really like the thought of learning more about this study im not exactly sure if I signed up correctly but I hope I did it right looking forward to this bible study:)

    • I did the same thing and am not sure I actually signed up correctly. I did get a thank you and hope that means i will receive e-mails. I am looking forward to this so much. I have been hoping to join a book club and this pops up! God Bless you and best of luck!

      • Just wondering if anybody here is from Rochester, NY area and would like to form our own book club to go along with this. I have never formed/joined a book club but have been wanting to and this would be a great one to start with! Let me know if you have any interest. [email protected]
