The lioness rises from her slumber, a magnificent image of strength, passion, and beauty. Her mere presence commands the landscape, protects her young, and empowers the lion. In groups, lionesses become a creative and strategic force to be reckoned with, acting as one to change the world around them. You too are a lioness. In Lioness Arising, author and speaker Lisa Bevere offers the life and image of the lioness as a fierce and tender model for women.

Every woman, no matter her culture, ethnicity, age, or station in life, is called to own the assignment of mothering world changers. The Christian community has been equipped with powerful books and trainings that champion the call of spiritual fathers, yet there stands a missing piece in the kingdom family — the call to mothering, particularly spiritual mothering, remains faint and undefined. 

When difficult or unwanted change enters our lives, it can cause fear, anxiety, and anger to bubble up from within. We want to quiet that simmering stress, but how do we do that, especially when we know our circumstances aren't going to calm down any time soon?

Going outside is not an option. It's an urgent mandate. Going outside often starts small - a desire for change, a crazy concept or a pesky idea that doesn't go away. It's the realization that a dream will stay just that if we fail to take action in our daily lives. It's getting off the bench and in the game. Outside often takes us to the uncomfortable - away from familiarity - towards people we normally wouldn't be associated with. It unfolds beyond temporal or practical thinking. In fact, going outside is best fueled by the haphazard idea to serve others at all costs.

In John 10:10, Jesus tells us that, "The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." Do you ever wonder why life seems to reflect the first half of this verse more than the second?

Sharpe addresses how our minds and thoughts are some of the main factors behind it all.
