Rising to Courage
Rising to Courage
Rising to Courage is the network we have created as a place for Christian women to grow together. It’s got all the great features of a Facebook group without the necessity of social media, which makes it a safe and encouraging place.
You’ll find free Bible studies, monthly workshops, and the opportunity to sign up for classes as we create them. Head to the network now or keep reading to learn more.
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
Psalm 31:24
What's in the network
Though we have plans to grow in the future, here’s what we have in the network right now:
Rising to Courage (the main space)
This is the “umbrella” group where you’ll find:
- Weekly articles/blog posts
- Ways to connect with others through questions or events
- Polls where we will ask you what you'd like to see next
- Regular live workshops
The Courage Community
This is a subsection (called a “Group” in the network) where we will host regular Bible studies. We are planning three free studies per year, and these will include:
- Weekly live teachings (recordings available after the events)
- Worksheets and resources for the study itself
- Discussion questions to help you dive deeper and connect with others in the study
Private Classes
These private classes will only show up if you’ve been invited to them. They are in-depth and personal, usually beginning with small beta classes. In a class, you’ll receive:
- Weekly live, in-depth teaching
- Class specific chat
- Homework, recordings, and resources for th class
- Other class-specific items that may vary
In the future, we may offer courses for purchase. Until then, we will let you know when we open sign-ups for private classes.
