Let’s go shopping! When given that invitation, what image enters your mind? A large shopping mall? A quaint boutique or eclectic fashion mart? Are you seeking bargains at a yard sale?

“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.”1 These words by Ralph Waldo Emerson have proven to be true over and over again during my time hosting a live, call-in radio show in Denver.

Again and again, I hear the same questions from women of all ages: “How do I find my purpose?” “What’s my place in the Body of Christ?” I find it ironic that as we are individually searching for our place, the people around us often have very specific ideas regarding what we should be doing! […]
