Customer Reviews
My Tribe
I’m so grateful that this platform exists. As a woman in church planting, I’m not certain how I could fully show up as me without the support of this Bloom community and the resource that this podcast has been for me. I’m deeply aware with each episode of how seen the church planting daughters of God are, though our days may find us battling loneliness and even isolation. Here is home, a place where women who are so different from me, come to the table sharing many of the same challenges I face daily. Continue providing this content; I am listening, learning, growing, healing, and sharing! 🖤💛🖤💛
Life changing!
Ever since I’ve been introduced to this podcast it’s been a game changer! A podcast dedicated to helping women in ministry specific to church planting?! YES PLEASE. There aren’t enough resources out there and this podcast is an incredible wealth of knowledge, encouragement, and strength! Just knowing I’m not alone in this process. Thank you!
Someone rooting for you!
We all know how great it feels to have your squad there for you. To have your “go to” people who can answer questions you never even thought to ask. A cheering section to root for you- who just GET you! That's what this podcast feels like to me. Leaders who deal with the same day to day realities that I do, yet bring perspective from the culling of decades of experience. Subscribe right now! Seriously. Such good stuff!
