    The Prayer Every Woman Should Pray Before Her Next Chapter - Shari Rigby & Sandra Stanley

    In this heartfelt Called As Creatives conversation, Sandra Stanley shares the wisdom she's gained through decades of ministry, motherhood, leadership, writing, and foster care advocacy. From co-founding North Point Ministries alongside her husband Andy Stanley to raising three children and opening her home to foster children, Sandra reflects on what it means to live a life of purpose through every season. She discusses the prayer that has guided her through major life transitions, how God often reveals our calling one step at a time, and why true success comes from living for an "audience of one." Whether you're navigating an empty nest, pursuing a new dream, or simply wondering what God has next for you, Sandra offers practical encouragement and timeless perspective. We also dive into the realities of foster care, the importance of community support, maintaining spiritual disciplines during busy seasons, and why family-friendly, values-based entertainment matters now more than ever. Sandra shares honest stories about growth, sacrifice, and learning to trust God through uncertainty, while reminding us that not everyone is called to foster—but everyone can do something. This conversation is filled with wisdom for women seeking clarity, purpose, and faithfulness in their everyday lives.
