Featuring: Kimberly Wright
Ministry: Perspective for the Christian Working Woman; L.E.D Advisory
Have you ever felt like you need to prove yourself? Maybe it's at work, at church, or even in your own home. Perhaps you've questioned your ambition, compared your progress to other women, or wondered if you're somehow falling short. But what if the perspective you're using to measure yourself isn't God's perspective at all?
On this episode of sheWorks4Him, author and speaker Kimberly Wright joins Martha to discuss her book, Perspective for the Christian Working Woman: Narrowing the Gap Between Your Perceptions and God's Truth. Kimberly understands the unique tensions Christian working women face, from feeling out of place in church to wrestling with ambition, identity, and the desire to make a difference in the workplace.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
How a viral photo of a dress that people saw in different colors illustrates the power of perspective
Why Christian working women sometimes feel guilty about their ambition or struggle to find where they fit in the church
How past experiences, unhealed wounds, and other people's words shape the way we see ourselves
Why your accomplishments, titles, and strengths don't determine your worth
How to recognize and escape the comparison trap that leaves so many women feeling behind or inadequate
Why some women hold back their voices and leadership abilities in the workplace
How to align your perspective with God's truth through Scripture, prayer, and a personal relationship with Jesus
Why rest isn't something you earn after accomplishing enough – it's something God designed and commanded
How God may be calling you out of hiding and into greater visibility with the message He's given you
Kimberly's challenge is for women to stop accepting every thought, label, and expectation as truth and start examining those perspectives through the lens of God's Word. You don't have to prove your value, compete with other women, or shrink back from the calling God has placed on your life. Your identity is already established in Christ. It's time to let that truth shape how you lead, work, and live.
