Description

Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey with author Bethny Ricks as she intricately weaves the tapestry of her own life experiences with the wisdom she's learned. This book offers a beacon of hope, revealing a transformative way of leadership grounded in the power of resilience and faith.

Bethny empowers individuals from all walks of life--from CEOs navigating boardrooms to young adults seeking their place in the world--and gives you permission to re-engineer your life with practical ways of cultivating a resilient mindset. Reflecting on her own life experience, she reimagines conventional narratives, proving that faith, even in the face of life's most daunting challenges--the sting of pain, the weight of ego, and the shadow of failure--can serve as the North Star guiding you back to your purpose and the embrace of Jesus.

What do you do when God's timing feels questionable and you feel uncertain about what's next What happens when your confidence is waning, and you don't know how to solve the problems facing you Through honest stories of her own professional failures, struggles with parenting, and frustrations with God, readers will learn:

• How to know who you are and overcome the hurdle of self-doubt
• How to prepare for your purpose and not get distracted by things God does not intend for you
• How to set boundaries at work and in your relationships
• How to deal with disappointment, and how to embrace the "power of pausing."
• How to reset your direction when you've lost sight of your vision
• How to find your voice, show up authentically, remain strong under pressure, and uphold your personal convictions
• How to say no to juggling many things and say yes to "Don't pick it up in the first place."

Even when we feel lost, we can know that God's light is shining, there from the very beginning, providing answers, redemption, healing, and stepping stones to help us face whatever lies ahead.
