Her Voice: Women of Living Faith

Joining the conversation is Lisa Arendt, who brings a heart for women and a passion for investing in others.Together, we’ll talk about what biblical mentoring really looks like, why it matters, and how each of us can be intentional about both finding mentors and becoming mentors to the women around us.
