Women like to talk with each other around meaningful conversations, in a safe environment. In New Jersey and New Hampshire women in their twenties gather with supportive Stonecroft leaders to pilot some of the new resources Stonecroft’s crafting. The feedback is valuable … not only to Stonecroft, but to each participant, as young women dialogue around topics that matter to them. They’re having Conversations about identity, comparison, relationships, belonging, purpose and faith.
Women often share only the best things about their lives on their social media highlight reel, but we all know that what they post online isn’t the whole story. We often avoid putting the hard things out there for the world to see. But women know that if they only share the good stuff, they lose credibility – we all know that constant happiness is not real life. We long to see overcomers. Those who go through failure, yet come out stronger, and with hope.
Conversations gather believers and seekers in a safe place where they can share the good, the bad, and the ugly; where they can be cared for in the midst of all those feelings; and where they can seek what God has to say in His Word. Conversations can provide restorative feedback that women need.
“Dissatisfaction is the second best thing there is, because it dissolves the glue that entraps us to false satisfactions, and drives us to God, the only true satisfaction. The road home is the next best thing to home.”
– Peter Kreeft
