What’s Your Story? Embracing Your Journey to Impact Your World

It’s easy to feel lost in the crowd. To feel like your voice doesn’t matter. To question why God created you in the first place. Even women who seemingly have it all–family, career, self-esteem–can question their purpose in the quietest of moments.

In this motivational talk, Sarah will share her own journey to finding her purpose. When her life looked perfect to outsiders, she secretly battled a struggle so intense, it pushed her to the end of hope. With a little bit of humor and a big box of Kleenex, she’ll share how God brought her through intense trials, opening her future to possibilities she’d never imagined. In turn, she’ll challenge other women to look for God’s silver lining and to discover how they can impact their worlds for Christ.
