Today we continue our series, Refreshing Conversations. For the next several Fridays, I will be playing back videos recorded from a pastors' wives retreat that I hosted called Refresh. I couldn't help but take advantage of all the wisdom that was present. I called in my good friend, Tonia Bendickson, to interview some of the leading Christian women in this nation. You will hear about a full range of topics from minitry to family to leadership. And you will hear from amazing women like Amy Groeschel, Lori Wilhite and Brandi Wilson.
First today, we will hear from Lisa Hughes. Lisa and her husband, Dave, lead Church By The Glades in Coral Springs, FL. While Lisa is very involved in the leadership of Church By the Glades, her roll does not involve a lot of time speaking or preaching from the stage. Listen to Lisa tell about a time where a technology issue forced her out of her seat on the front row and onto the stage.
Next is Kerri Weems. Kerri and her husband, Stovall, pastor Celebration Church in Jacksonville, FL. Kerri (a self-proclaimed introvert) is an incredible speaker. Every time I hear her preach I am amazed at her beautiful combination of confidence and wisdom. Hear Kerri share about how she prepares to speak and also give some encouragement about being authentic.
Dear Lisa,Oh my gosh I thought I was the only person in the world who had to buy under arm protective pads to prevent my sweating to death from fear of teaching or sharing in a group setting,on my own one on one I am fearless,involved and I'll fight for their life,but to stand in front of people and when I was told to teach and didn't want to I shook from head to toe,No more like quivered from head to toe! So blessed our Pastor's wife is just real! I Loved your sharing!
