249 | Raising Up God’s Daughters: Faith, Entrepreneurship, and Kingdom Calling, with Elaine Lankford
It is very common to put pressure on our identity as professional women. And yet sometimes, we are unsure or confused.
Well, after a 16-year nursing career - and seasons of profound loss and professional upheaval - Elaine Lankford, realized that God was gently realigning her heart from identity in career to identity in Christ, showing her that He never wastes anything.
On a mission trip to Nicaragua, Elaine heard a new call: to “raise up God’s daughters,” becoming a catalyst who empowers women to birth their God-given dreams, much like Elizabeth did for Mary in Luke, chapter one.
Through deep time in Scripture, honoring her God-designed rhythms, and faith-centered coaching, Elaine now helps women step boldly into renewal and leadership through She Steps Forward and She Steps Forward International.
Together, Elaine and I talk about:
☀️ Her amazing connection with God through a small voice, which guided her through major life steps!
☀️ John Maxwell and the book that has encouraged her work in entrepreneurship!
☀️ Her encouragement and tips for daily renewal!
☀️ Our unique relationship with Christ - just like the 12 disciples!
☀️ The deep relationship between Elizabeth and Mary in Luke 1:45 that includes mentorship.
The Bible verse that guides Elaine and her work is this: "Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her.” ~ Luke 1:45 (NIV)
Elaine's journey encourages us not to shrink back, but to honor how God has uniquely wired each one of us, and to walk out our calling - TOGETHER.
