Individuals today are overwhelmed with responsibilities--actually or mistakenly imposed on them by society. They believe bigger means better and busier means more effective. And women are bearing the brunt of this "Superwoman" epidemic.

They feel pressured, stretched, and squeezed from all sides, and that's not just from pantyhose. They try to do the best they can to make the most of each day, yet they always seem to fall short of their goals and expectations. They are left embarrassed and filled with feelings of inadequacy.

Women from all walks of life--wives of spiritual leaders, divorced, widowed, single women, working mothers, recently married women, and new believers seeking to grow--are not immune to the struggles facing them each day. They battle confusion, discouragement, and fear caused by today's violence, immoral conditions, and complacency toward failed marriages. Many are heartbroken. Others are overwhelmed. Some are burned-out and desire a renewal--a rejuvenation of their relationship with Christ.

They need concrete, practical examples of ways to apply God's Truth to their daily lives--in the little things as well as major decisions.

While these women come in all shapes and sizes and from many varied backgrounds, they all have the same common denominator. They need answers but they don't know where to begin. They are desperate for truth from God's Word, and they have no one to teach them. Often they simply need encouragement, someone to listen, someone who will point them to Jesus.

Our Following the Shepherd Ministry is a step beyond casual friendships. It moves you to think outside the box--to move from the mentoring idea to a shepherding mentality. It's a concept of accountability and spiritual guidance, which is not typically part of most relationships.

Our Following the Shepherd Ministry equips women to establish a one-on-one relationship with a lamb (woman being shepherded), encouraging her to develop a deeper intimacy with the Lord.

It is designed to lead the individual to an understanding and valuing of a love relationship with the Lord and its effects on the heart. You will learn to live above your circumstances--the daily drudgery and the heartaches--not below them. You will be equipped to shine forth His love in the darkness and point others to Him regardless of your circumstances, thus bringing glory to His name.
