In this week's episode of the StrongHer Podcast, we're sharing the final session from the 2017 You Are Stronger Than You Think Women's Event hosted by Kendra Tillman (@KendraTillman). Bible teacher and author Ginger Ciminello reminds us that none of what we do amounts to anything if we have lost our desire to know God, intimately, personally, in the midst of our busy lives.  Each of us has a soul. You are the only one charged with the care of your own soul. Hearing the Lord's instruction is not a task that can be delegated to someone else. In this episode, Ginger explains that less than 20% of Christians read the Bible outside of church. She reveals the #1 reason people don't read their Bible and provides ideas and instruction for creating space with God. This rich session reminded us to be hungry for God's holy Word and to know God for ourselves. Her message was honest, convicting and made a difference in the lives of our attendees. We believe it will do the same for you! SUBSCRIBE ON ITUNES --- New podcast
