Even though Bobbie Schaeperkoetter is a writer, speaker, teacher, YouTuber, community builder, and an empowerer of women, she has struggled to be vulnerable and authentic.

Ep 11: Perseverance

Perseverance is often a hidden work, taking tiny obedient steps. God may ask us to pick back up an idea, passion, or project we laid down.

Listen in as Amy and Tammy talk about being open to not only letting go of a project or ministry but also to returning to it when God prompts us.

How does perseverance challenge the best of us? Where might God be asking you to persevere or lay something down?

Ep 13: Fear & What it Teaches Us

In the scriptures, 241 times in the New King James, “fear not” or “do not fear” appeared in the Bible. 241 times, God took His people into their calling, their purpose, or their next step which required more than their own strength (and courage) to fulfill. 241 times, His people saw glimpses of what He had in store and it seemed too impossible, too big, too fantastical for their imaginations to fathom. 241 times, His people felt the weight of where He was taking them and fear was right there trying to hold them back.

But God.

Amy and Tammy get vulnerable and honest about their most debilitating fears. They share about how fear can teach us about ourselves. But how fear does not get to dictate what we will or will not do when God calls.

"I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you." Isaiah 41:13 NIV
