You are meant to expand the Kingdom, and grow in wholeness and freedom without fear or any other hindrance holding you back anymore. 

So, are you ready to move forward?
Do you want someone to walk you through it?

I offer a series of weekly 45-minute phone sessions (either 6 or 8 weeks, your choice) to walk with you toward the more you’re called to.

I read this scripture one morning, and immediately posted it on social media to show everyone how spiritual I am. (Sarcasm. That was sarcasm.)

Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.”

– Genesis 12:1-2

How many times has God told us to go and do something, promising His blessing along with it, but we’ve cowed and shrunk back?

How many times have we responded with, “Umm…no thanks. That blessing sounds good, but I’m not sure it’s worth it. Seems like a lot of work and unknowns, and too much risk. I think I’ll pass.”

 

 

For as many times as I have obeyed and moved out of the comfort zone, I’ve probably backed out at least twice as often. But for those times I have obeyed, He’s done more than I could’ve dreamed. And He’s still doing it.

I can’t imagine (and I sorta don’t want to imagine) what He would’ve done by now had I not been too afraid to do the other things. But I am so excited for what He’s going to do from here on out.

Because I’ve been through this cycle several times, and here’s what it looks like:

1. God tells me to do something outlandish. Doesn’t matter what it is; it’s been a million different things.

2. I respond with something like, “Are You kidding?” and then list all my excuses about being unqualified, imperfect, wounded, unprepared, too busy, too young, too old, too tired, etcetera, etcetera.

3. And then we slowly work through it, whatever “it” is.

A nice, easy 3-step process, right? (That also was sarcasm.)

The stuff He’s called you to might be different, but here are some of mine: Adoption. Forgiveness. Starting a business. Writing a book. Public speaking. Having more than half a dozen kids. Leading ministry. Childbirth in my blankety-blank forties. Praying with strangers in public. Setting hard boundaries. A bazillion other things that felt Big and New and Scary.

Those are just what we call them on the surface, though. Because what I really had to work through with God were things like fear, intimidation, insecurity, surrender, obedience, and a million big and little lies about my own identity and God’s goodness.

I have walked through this, over and over and over. So, does it get easier? Yes.

And also, No. Sorry about that.

It gets more difficult because God tends to grow our comfort zone and call us to bigger and harder things. But! It gets easier because we do grow in boldness, and we learn that surrender and obedience are the fastest way forward. And it’s even easier if someone walks with you through it.

Right up front though, this isn’t for everyone. It’s for women who want to progress in their calling, and are ready to do the work to move forward – growing in maturity and freedom without fear or other hindrances holding them back anymore.

It’s for those of you who live on mission every day, regardless of your day job, but you still have this restless, hungry longing like you’re called to something more — and that more might fall under a few different categories:

  • emotional healing, like conquering fear or unforgiveness or shame
  • peace in current circumstances, like the overwhelm of motherhood, special needs, or homeschooling
  • a more tangible goal, like stepping out in missions, or business, or some other big, wild move

Whatever it is, you might not be sure how to get there, and you could use some clarity and accountability. And if you’re really honest, some of you feel unqualified and unprepared. The details can be so overwhelming.

And…is it just a dream, anyway? Can we really walk in freedom, contentment, and victory? Do those things ever really happen?

Yes. They do. And if He called you to it, you can get there. Surrender and obedience are the fastest way forward. But like I said, it’s easier if someone walks with you through it.

I was deeply impressed and in awe of Shannon’s ability to ask the right questions that coaxed well hidden truths, long overlooked, to rise to the surface.

And I was equally impressed with her ability to hear beyond the words of the answers given to the unspoken things hidden in my heart and reflect them back to me.

Shannon has the God-anointed gift of leading people out of the darkness into His (Christ’s) glorious light.

Shannon is a compassionate listener and a speaker of and encourager in the Lord’s truth. She hears, clarifies, and analyzes my words and takes time outside of our conversations to prepare thoughtful support and reflective exercises.

It is vital to have friends, even new ones, grounded in Biblical wisdom to wade through the questions and answers with you, and Shannon has provided this for me.

What I offer is a series of weekly 45-minute phone sessions (your choice of 6 or 8 weeks) to walk with you toward the more you’re called to. If you have an objective you’re trying to achieve, we’ll discuss timing and sort through confusion. If you’re pursuing emotional healing or dealing with personal circumstances or family issues, we’ll look at the details and sort through the enemy’s lies and God’s truth.

My goal is to help you gain more peace and wholeness (fear and anxiety no longer hijacking your bus), more calm thoughts and actions (less racing overwhelm), and more clarity about your calling (kicking uncertainty and doubt to the curb). We’ll talk about who you are, how God made you, where He’s called you to go, and how you’ll get there – no more shrinking back, you’re heading to the blessing ahead that’s on the other side of obedience – because we’re made to grow forward, but we go farthest together.

After you purchase, I will email you to arrange a weekly time for our phone meetings that works best for both of us.

If the button says “out of stock,” email me at shannon@copperlightwood.com with “waiting list” in the subject line, and I’ll contact you about the next availability. Or, if you’d like to reserve a slot for later – for example, in a month or two when classes are over – let me know, and we’ll save your spot with a 20% deposit.
