Inspiration and encouragement for today's Christian working woman
Did you know 80 percent of Buckner International's employees are women? Most leadership conferences are not geared exclusively to Christian working women ... except for Boldly. This is Buckner's third year exhibiting at and with staff attending Boldly in Carrolton at Bent Tree Bible Fellowship.
Boldly is a one-day conference exclusively designed to uplift, encourage, and provide connection for Christian working women. This year's speakers talked to women about the power of prayer, the importance of people and relationships, trusting God's plan, leading with love, and creating peace among chaos.
One of the most memorable quotes was from Dr. Sharon Hodde Miller: "Using your gifts is not selfish ambition; it's good stewardship."
Wow. What woman doesn't need to hear that?
We all have unique gifts to contribute. Buckner wants this for all vulnerable children, famillies, and seniors served through its programs too. We believe all children have a God-given purpose and plan for their lives. Same for mom and dad, which is why we focus on family strengthening in our programs.
During this year's Boldly conference, it was announced that the Polished Network and 4Word for Women are merging to form Boldly United. Previously, the Polished network merged with Women in the Marketplace in 2023. Wow, it's amazing to see nonprofits geared toward Christian women's professional development aligning and strengthening to best equip the needs of today's women in the workforce.
Also at Boldly, there were several ministries and nonprofits for attendees to visit and learn more about. Buckner International shared its Period Poverty initiative and provided a hands-on experience for women during breaks and lunch.
This year's theme was "unified" and it seems fitting for our world right now. How can you help unify or encourage someone today?
