She Rises

🌱 Have you been pouring into everyone around you, but rarely taking time to be poured into yourself?

As women, we are called to love, serve, encourage, and uplift others. We are meant to overflow God's love, joy, and grace into the lives of those around us. But overflowing requires being filled.

That's the heart behind the S.O.W. Women's Retreat.

Join us for a weekend designed to help you reconnect with the One who fills every empty place. Just as a seed needs water to grow, we need the Living Water of Jesus to truly flourish.

At S.O.W., you'll be reminded that you are:

🌿 Seen — known and loved by God
💧 Overflowing — filled with His presence and purpose
🤍 Worthy — secure in your identity as His daughter

Come spend a weekend being refreshed, encouraged, and rooted in truth alongside an incredible community of women.

📍 Pensacola, FL
📅 September 18–20, 2026

Saved people serve people.

When God changes your life, it should change the way you see people.

Not because you’re trying to earn salvation.
Not because you’re trying to gain recognition.

But because a heart transformed by Jesus begins to look like Jesus.

And Jesus served.

He served when He was tired.
He served when He was misunderstood.
He served when He had every right to focus on Himself.

“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve…”
— Matthew 20:28

In a world that constantly asks, “What’s in it for me?”
the Gospel asks a different question:

“How can I help?”

Serving isn’t always on a stage.
It’s not always public.
It’s not always noticed.

Sometimes it’s a phone call.
A meal.
A prayer.
A listening ear.
A simple act of kindness.

The truest measure of spiritual maturity isn’t how much you know…

It’s how much you’re willing to serve.

Because pride asks to be served.
Love chooses to serve.

And when you’ve truly experienced the grace of God, you stop asking how little you can do…

And start asking where you can help.

Saved people serve people.

Not for applause.
Not for recognition.
Not for a title.

But because that’s exactly what Jesus did.

If Judas didn't give you your purpose, Judas can't take it away.

Before you spend all your time looking for Judas at your table…

Make sure you’ve dealt with the Judas within.

It’s easy to point out betrayal in others.
It’s easy to identify who hurt you.
Who disappointed you.
Who walked away.

It’s much harder to examine your own heart.

Because Judas didn’t start with betrayal.

He started close to Jesus.

He heard the teachings.
He witnessed the miracles.
He sat at the table.

Yet somewhere along the way, proximity replaced surrender.

He was around Jesus…
but he wasn’t transformed by Jesus.

“One of you will betray me.”
— Matthew 26:21

The scary part of the story isn’t that Judas betrayed Jesus.

It’s that the other disciples didn’t immediately know who it was.

On the outside, he looked the part.

He walked with them.
He talked like them.
He served alongside them.

But what was hidden in his heart eventually became visible in his actions.

Before we ask God to reveal the Judas in our circle…

We should ask Him to reveal anything in us that is not fully surrendered.

Where have we traded obedience for convenience?
Where have we chosen our agenda over God’s will?
Where have we become comfortable being near Him instead of following Him?

The goal isn’t just to have a seat at the table.

Judas had a seat.

The goal is to have a heart transformed by the One sitting at the head of it.

Search your heart.
Stay humble.
Stay surrendered.

Because the greatest danger isn’t always the Judas sitting across from you…

Sometimes it’s the parts of yourself you’ve refused to confront. ✨

Jesus knew his disciple was going to betray him yet he was reclining at the table. Your environment shouldn't change your posture.

Don’t forget about THIS Tuesdays She Rises Bible study! Tell your friends! We cannot wait to see you there!

✨ Our next study in the Set Free, Stay Free series is almost here… and this time we’re diving into the powerful story of Joseph! ✨

From betrayal and heartbreak to redemption and purpose, Joseph’s story reminds us that God is still working — even in the waiting, the wilderness, and the wounds. 🙌

Before our next gathering, take some time to read:
📖 Genesis Chapters 37–50

As you read, pay attention to:
• God’s faithfulness through suffering
• Forgiveness in the face of betrayal
• Dreams, purpose, and timing
• How God can turn what was meant for evil into good 💛

We can’t wait to study this story together and see how it connects to freedom, healing, and staying rooted in Christ.
