When Faith Looks Like Staying Put

There are times in our faith journey where Jesus calls us to step out of the boat. We all know the story of Peter—the bold one—saying, “Lord, give me the word and I’ll come.” And we know the outcome of the step of faith that resulted. Peter followed Jesus’ footsteps and actually walked on the water. Walked on water. The story is pretty incredible.

(And for that we are grateful.) But for women all over the world, this isn't the case. That's why this Mother's Day we've launched the Love A Mama...
