Do you feel like you need to ask for permission for your future? Joining me is Ashlee Eiland a thought leader, writer, and Bible teacher who exists to join in God's redemptive work here on earth. Her work has one purpose: to help humanity build bridges back to the truth of who God is and between one another in whole and healing relationships. I know you are going to love the parable about her choice to take the cup God had before her.
Ashley Eiland shares her journey of stepping into the unknown and following God's call. She talks about the fear and uncertainty that comes with making big decisions and the importance of seeking affirmation and permission from God. She encourages readers to have confidence in their voices and to trust that God is with them in every decision they make. Ashley reflects on the first time she realized the power of her voice and shares her hope for the reader to find hope, peace, and confidence in using their own.
