Episode 3: Finding Hope in the Hard Days as a Woman of Integrity," with Sarah Geringer

Life is painful when we feel hopeless. But there is a way to find hope in the hard days. Join Sarah and me for a conversation about hope - "Finding Hope in the Hard Days As A Woman of Integrity," with Sarah Geringer and your host, me - Deborah. Sarah takes us back to when she knew God wanted her to be a writer at a James Taylor concert.   Sarah discusses her new book ⁠"Hope for The Hard Day."⁠ Thousands of people prayed for Sarah during her dark days beginning in January 2022. Now, God has led her to write a new book to encourage others in their hard days as many are struggling in our post-pandemic world. Sarah and Deborah discuss what it means to be a woman of integrity and how that gives us hope. Sarah explains the Proverbs 31 model and the book, "Becoming The Woman God Wants You to Be" by Donna Partow. Sarah gives tips on navigating our personal integrity in our culture while honoring God. Sarah examines what it means to you to be seen as a woman by the world, by God, and the foundational truth that you are already beautiful as a daughter of God. Sarah and Deborah discuss self-love, makeup, self-care, and grooming and how they build confidence as we care for our bodies, which are God's temple in our post-pandemic world. Sarah talks about conquering body image battles by controlling our thoughts with Christian meditation. Sarah gives insights on how to talk to the younger generation and the challenges they face growing up in today's world.
