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!

To join us, enter your info and click Sign Up:

  2. Hi Renee, Just wanted to let you know that I have signed up for A Confident Heart again. I found so much the first time that I decided to do it again. It was a wonderful study and I think that I will get something else out of it. Looking forward to it again. Waiting earnestly for the first week’s questions.
    Thanks again for allowing me to study again with you,
    In Him,
    Jeanie Kelley

  4. I follow your writings and so enjoy reading of your journey with Jesus…I too adopted 2 beautiful boys.!!!
    Over this past year I fallen so far away from the Light of my Father! I am ashamed to admit this, because God has used my journey of infertility and overcoming other circumstances. Last year my dad had cancer, he died 77 days after his diagnosis! I was devastated, to say the least! I am slowly coming back into the fold. I know that in tragedy, my faith is reflective. Or my lack ther of. Now, I am trying to look at my faults, without glaring at the sin that so entangled me for 12 months! I’m embarrassed and ashamed to face the people in my church family. I noticed your new study and am interested in doing this study for restoration and ingition of the Holy Spirirt. I Praise God, as I was trying to run as fast as I could, away from him….he ran ahead of me and NEVER left me alone! I am looking forward to this study.

  5. Ladies i urge you to do this study. I studyed it with Melissa Taylor awesome study. I am starting Made to Crave next Monday with Melissa. Next month i will be teaching a Made to Crave class in one of our life groups at church. A Confident Heart helped bring me out of my shell and be a bolder in my walk with Christ. I really don’t think i would have even considered teaching a class before the Confident Heart study. Proverbs 31 women are awesome. 🙂

  6. I am looking forward to the study. But I was unable to leave a review on Amazon about the book d/t I purchased it thru another vendor. Hope I will still get the emails & downloads.

  7. I am so excited for this study. I have struggled with my self-confidence my whole life. I know in my head that I am an intelligent capable woman but I can’t feel it in my heart. We are struggling with a teenage daughter now that has issues and desperately need prayers for us and her.

  8. I am really looking forward to this study!!! Thanks so much for doing this, Renee! I have been really needing a study like this for quite some time now.

  9. This study is an answer to prayer. I’ve been struggling with self doubt for so long. Can’t wait to see what God’s going to do!

  11. I also shared with my Mops group via email, it will be in our next newsletter. So excited!

  13. Renee I am half way through your book The Confidant Heart and God is speaking deep into my spirit through it. Thankyou! You are singing my life story down to some pretty fine details and I can feel healing taking place already. Funnily I bought this book for a group of woman I have been ministering to and I wasnt going to read it myslef I just thought it would be good for them, becuase I thought I was already ‘there’ with this but I hadnt even scraped the surface as it turns out. I have laughed and cried (a lot)
    I feel God leading me to Womans Ministry here in australia and has led me to you and Proverbs 31 ministries for resourses and direction and I am blown away by what He is doing in my life and with my story for the benifit of other woman. I am really looking forward to seeing the outcomes of this study. and reading your other books. Thanks so much. God bless you. Fiona

  14. Can’t wait to see what this journey brings! First time doing an online bible study 🙂 Excited!!

  15. I just ordered the book from the library, but I would love to win my own copy. I’m excited to join the study!

  20. I just signed up for your study. I cannot wait for it to start! I am disabled and current;y my husband and I are sharing a car. I cannot get out often to studies as he is using it for work. This is a wonderful opportunity. I thank you!!!

  21. So excited about this study! It will be my first online study. Looking forward to our journey together!

  22. I am very excited about learning how to listen to God. Growing in confidence and learning how to let go of the insecurities that have held me back from enjoying life. My heart is aching to feel freedom from self doubt. Thank you for this opportunity!

  23. I have signed up and am really looking forward to it. Have downloaded your book on Kindle. Will this be a weekly study as in a chapter a week?

  24. Is it possible to find your book online? I would love to participate but am financially unable to purchase your book at this time.

  26. This sounds like a great bible study and a great way to start out the new year. Looking forward to learning more about this subject. I believe that all woman at some time in their lives live with self doubt and I know that God does have the answers. I am going through changes in my life right now and I am trying to bring it all to God and have faith and confindence and I believe this will really help me. Hope I am not to late for the drawing.

  27. I have signed up for the CONFIDENT HEART online study, and I’m excited about it! Thank you for being faithful to the ministry to which God has called you! Consider yourself hugged, loved, appreciated and prayed for! In His love, Rena C

  29. Normally, I’m an all-in kind of girl. But. This study makes my stomach churn just thinking about it. I know the things I don’t want to read are typically things I need to read, that my Father is prompting me to read. I reluctantly yet excitedly (can those two go together) move forward by posting this comment.

    • I so know what you mean. I”ve been so afraid at times. But it wasn’t until I tasted freedom that I realized just how much the enemy had stolen from me. Jesus wants you to know this…He loves you. He’s pursuing you. You don’t have to be afraid. But don’t’ forget you have an enemy who would love for you to back out. I’m proud of you for taking the first step – as best as I can I’m gonna reach out my hands and my heart and walk with each of you through this – together we can find and live with the confidence that is ours in CHRIST!! Praying for you Angie!

  30. I’m so looking forward to this study on Confident Heart – I have the book and went through the study with Melissa Taylor. But I want to go through it again because right now in this season of my life I am going through a time of doubt and fear.

    So Renee thank you for this book – it has been a tool to help me gain that confidence that I feel I have lost in myself back through Christ.

  32. I have recently wanted to change my life. I have always been a responsible person, never done anything bad..but I weren’t living my life for God. My husband bought this book for me to read because I wanted a learning book, because I still do not know too much about Christianity and the Lord. When I read the first chapter of this book, I realized it was more than I wanted in a book. It really hit home about my insecurities and my doubts. I still have lots of questions about the Lord and how to trust him, etc. I saw in the first chapter, to go to your website and I’m so glad that I did because now I can read the book along with others and be in a Bible study! I am so excited for this to change my life and change the way I live. Thank you SO much God, and Renee for this opportunity. 🙂

    • Amanda, I’m so excited you are here!! I love that you found my website and my upcoming online study through the book. I wondered if anyone would accept that invitation when I wrote it…and you did!!

      Thank you for sharing your heart and your questions. I can’t wait to walk and learn together and find so much more of what God wants for us. Please ask questions and let me know your thoughts as we go through the book together. See you back here soon!

  33. Can’t wait for the study to begin. I’m so glad i didn’t miss this opportunity 🙂 Thanks!

  34. I’ve almost finished reading “A Confident Heart” for the first time, and was planning to immediately read it again. Looking forward to the opportunity to do so with many others through this study.

  35. I have been told my whole like that I could not do anything right, that I was a failure. Then when my husband walked out on me for another woman I was sure the were right. I doubt myself and that I am worthy of Gods love. This study is coming at a time I need all the help I can get. I have signed up for the study. May God bless you.

  36. I am really looking forward to this new book. My friend and I were looking for something to read together and I think this would be perfect. I would like to be in the “drawing” for the free book.

  37. I really would love to be considered for the free book and the online study. I am a new stay at home Mom and I am always having adjustment issues. I am making a great choice for my baby…but I have trouble finding balance. Thanks for your great posts/ emails…they are soo encouraging. God bless your 2012!

  38. im 36yr old single mom. i have signed up for your online study. i signed up before for the confident heart study but i didnt have the book and couldnt afford it so i wasnt able to continue doing it. Im hoping to win this give away. i come from a troubled past and GOD has saved me redeemed me forgiven me and made me new. i love to read and my heart and mind are GOD focused all the time. i love your website and all you do to help woman. thank you for everything.

  39. This will be my first study group!! SO looking forward to doing something for me and my faith. I need to be more confident and less passive. This is the year of making time for me and God and my family. My daughter and I read from the children’s Bible tonight. I encouraged her to chose her favorite story…it turned into 3 stories and placing a book mark on a specific page so we can continue tomorrow!! We are off to a good start, I pray that we can continue!

  40. Wow, I’ve always known there was a real person under this shadow of doubt and insecurity….I can’t wait to meet her…(me).

  41. I am looking forward to the start of this study, and of course would like to win a free book . Thank you for you and all you do

  43. Renee~ I am so excited to break the chains of people pleasing. Thank you for blessing us with this study. As I was on your site, I went through the free resources. “Praying for My Husband from Head to Toe” brought me to tears. I read it aloud to my husband who was beyond touched. He had me print it out so he could also pray that over me. I can’t thank you enough. God shows His grace and wisdom through you! I also replay your “Don’t Throw Your Confidence Away” talk from She Speaks to keep His messages of God-confidence running through my veins 🙂 You are a blessing! xoxo

  44. please count me in! As a new stay @ home Mom I desperately need to learn and be reminded of my value to GOd! And if you have a book to give away…i’d love that blessing too:) i’d pass on the blessing to a sister in Christ after the study:) thanks:)

    • Última hora:A alemã é muito amiga do fugitivo porque ambos são Bacharéis, e esta?! E mais, o doamroutento da dita saiu-lhe num concurso — seria o da Farinha Amparo? :))

  48. Hello! I will be thrilled to read the book and follow the study. I love learning and growing 🙂

    Jackie

  49. I READ YOUR BOOK WITH MELLISSA I DIDN’T COMPLETE HER STUDY . I LOVED YOUR BOOK . I GREW SO MUCH READING IT. I SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE. I WOULD LIKE TO WIN A BOOK SO I COULD SHARE IT. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS KAY

  50. I have a couple friends that I would love to invite to do this study with us but I don’t know how to invite them? Neither of them are reading the bible or currently attending church. I just know, in my heart, that this study could introduce them to the Jesus they have never met and radically transform their lives. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make her drink…. Lord help me find a way to put salt in her oats!
