know Shaunti, she is the author of a number of books.\u00a0 Probably the best known sold over a million copies, <em>For Women Only.<\/em><em>\u00a0 <\/em>She also has written a book with her husband, Jeff, called <em>For Men Only. <\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<em>\u00a0<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe has collaborated with Dr. Robert Lewis, who is the founder and creator of <em>Men\u2019s Fraternity<\/em>, which was used in over 20,000 churches across the country, to create a core curriculum, a training package for women today, helping them understand what God\u2019s design is for them.\u00a0 Shaunti, of course, is the lead speaker in this and helped design the material.\u00a0 Explain to our listeners \u2013 just give them an overview of what <em>LifeReady Woman<\/em> is all about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s basically \u2013 the perfect description of it is the subtitle, <em>Thriving in a Do It All World<\/em>, because that is what every woman feels that the world is like today, is we are just juggling everything.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You are a mom of two.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 I am a mom of two.\u00a0 I have a husband.\u00a0 I have a thriving ministry.\u00a0 I\u2019m always traveling and speaking, and soccer runs, and church activities, and everything else that every other woman is like \u201cOkay, how do I juggle this?\u201d\u00a0 Basically, what this study and the book is doing is to help us as women who are in a modern, very crazy, do-it-all culture understand how on earth do we balance our lives, but from a totally biblical perspective.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, I like the fact that here on the back of the manual you say, \u201cThe difference between doing it all and doing what matters.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s really what you\u2019re trying to point women toward, isn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 And it\u2019s basically digging out of the Scripture.\u00a0 Turns out that there is a fantastic biblical blueprint that a lot of us have missed about how on earth do we balance our lives?\u00a0 We have so many choices and so many opportunities come at us every single day.\u00a0 How do we choose between them?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, we have this idea that you can kind of have it all.\u00a0 That\u2019s just a recipe for heartbreak.\u00a0 You may be able to have it all, but not necessarily all at the same time.\u00a0 So how do you choose what you do and don\u2019t do and when?\u00a0 That\u2019s where it turns out that there is this biblical model for us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So you and Robert have put together this book, <em>The LifeReady Woman,<\/em> and the DVD series that goes along with it that\u2019s an eight-session DVD series.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Explain why you did both a book and a DVD series.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, you know the book is basically like more of a basic premise, like here is the starting point for us to know, and it was based on some work that Robert had done years ago based on his years and years of experience as a senior pastor and digging some of this out of the Scriptures.\u00a0 And then what he did is hand it over to me and say, \u201cYou\u2019re the one who is a woman.\u00a0 You\u2019re speaking to women.\u00a0 You know what a woman\u2019s life is like.\u00a0 Pull this together and create this video-driven series that women can go through.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s this eight sessions where you can go through it and help women walk through the application of this to their life.\u00a0 Every single woman will walk out of this study feeling like, \u201cAhhh.\u00a0 I know how to balance my life.\u00a0 I know what I am supposed to do.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Is that the issue for women today, do you think?\u00a0 This issue of balance, and . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think there are a lot of women today who feel guilty, who are struggling with all kinds of pressure that other people put on them, because they don\u2019t know what the biblical blueprints are all about for being a woman today.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 There are all these messages coming at them from TV, from movies, from the internet, from even church \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yeah!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 -- and their friends and the community.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 I hate to say it, but there are \u2013 it\u2019s not just the culture that imposes these ideas on us of what we\u2019re supposed to do.\u00a0 Sometimes even in the church, well-meaning pastors and Christian friends can say, \u201cYou know what?\u00a0 You\u2019re really supposed to look like this.\u201d\u00a0 And that\u2019s maybe how <em>they\u2019re<\/em> supposed to look and what <em>their<\/em> life is to look like because that\u2019s God\u2019s design for <em>them<\/em>, but we have to go back to the Scriptures and dig out, what is God\u2019s design?\u00a0 What are his callings for me?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat we\u2019ve done is basically said, \u201cOkay, here\u2019s the biblical grid.\u00a0 God has given all of us, men and women, these core callings.\u201d\u00a0 There are three core callings.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then we say, \u201cOkay, now we\u2019re designed as women, and that means something, and then we\u2019re designed as an individual, and where those three intersect is going to be the place that will feel right.\u00a0 This is correct.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t the juggling and torn and stressed \u2013 no this is the way I\u2019m designed.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You may not feel that way instantly, right away, but as you walk in it \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s where it\u2019s going to make sense, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Absolutely.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is designed to last eight weeks, or maybe sixteen weeks, depending upon how the group decides to roll out the videos.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s right.\u00a0 Correct.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Explain what the eight sessions are that you go through with the group.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Sure.\u00a0 Well the first one is basically talking about the fact that we need a compass and sort of a grid to get us there to begin with.\u00a0 You know, it\u2019s interesting.\u00a0 We as women, we don\u2019t even realize that we\u2019re chasing our tails so much.\u00a0 We\u2019re running around like crazy people that we don\u2019t stop and think about, \u201cHuh.\u00a0 Am I functioning the way that I\u2019m designed?\u00a0 Am I doing this right?\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019re just trying to survive, basically, a lot of us as women.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 On a treadmill.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 That\u2019s what it feels like.\u00a0 I use the analogy of the fact that we need something to orient us that is firm, that is fixed, that is unchanging that we can look to, which is the Bible.\u00a0 It\u2019s not going to change as the culture changes, and this is the beauty for us as women today.\u00a0 If you have this unchanging reference point, it\u2019s going to affect you, where you are today, regardless of what your life looks like.\u00a0 You can look to it to make those decisions of how to organize your life.\u00a0 So that\u2019s what the first session is all about \u2013 it\u2019s getting women on the same page with that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then the next sessions are: What does that look like?\u00a0 What is the biblical grid?\u00a0 You know, we talk about that there are these three core callings, that everybody, man and woman, is designed for.\u00a0 So what are those?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen we talk about, that there are feminine callings.\u00a0 We\u2019re narrowed down, we\u2019re women, we\u2019re designed that way for a reason, so what are those?\u00a0 And then our individual gifts.\u00a0 So we have a grid where people start placing themselves on this map, so to speak, and creating a blueprint.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then the next five sessions are saying, \u201cYou know what?\u00a0 Actually living this way is going to require some serious steps of faith sometimes and some courage to actually walk through this and make some tough choices in order to live with your design rather than against it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 One of those faith steps you encourage women to is to live from the inside out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Explain what you mean by that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s a perfect example where we say, \u201cOkay, our three core callings have to be at the center of our life.\u201d\u00a0 The three core callings, just so you know, are back in Genesis, where God brings Adam and Eve together and he basically gives us as men and women a design.\u00a0 He says, \u201cHere\u2019s your job description.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what you\u2019re designed for.\u00a0 If you do this, life will work.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe says we\u2019re designed to leave and cleave \u2013 leave father and mother, cleave \u2013 you know the husband is to cleave to the wife and obviously it works in reverse as well, and become one, and so we\u2019re to be working on that.\u00a0 And then we\u2019re to be fruitful and multiply, and that doesn\u2019t just mean have kids.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 That is, we\u2019re supposed to be launching a godly next generation.\u00a0 We\u2019re supposed to be spreading that influence throughout the earth and be part of that, regardless of whether we have kids of our own at the moment.\u00a0 Everybody is supposed to be pouring into that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then, third, God says, \u201cSubdue the earth and rule over it.\u201d\u00a0 That subdue and rule is the idea of everybody has gifting, and they\u2019re supposed to be advancing God\u2019s kingdom beyond the home and into the world in concert with their unique, individual gifting.\u00a0 So living from the inside out is taking those three core callings and saying, \u201cHow am I using that to make choices about everything around me, rather than letting the world \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 -- tell me what my choices should be and pressing in on me from the outside as to what those choices should be.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s really a restatement of Romans 12 \u2013 \u201cDon\u2019t be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.\u201d\u00a0 You\u2019re really calling for women to renew their mind according to God\u2019s blueprints of leave, cleave and become one.\u00a0 What\u2019s another one of the sessions you take people through?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, when we talk about the faith steps and these sort of \u2013 it kind of requires some courage and it requires being a little bolder, like \u201cOkay, I\u2019m going to, I\u2019m going to do this.\u201d\u00a0 Another one that\u2019s very important for us as women is to live according to our season of life.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEach of these core callings will kind of look different in different seasons of life.\u00a0 We have to do them all, and if we do, we\u2019ll feel less stress, not more.\u00a0 We\u2019ll feel like we\u2019re functioning the way we\u2019re designed.\u00a0 But that is going to look different. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLike for me, I have small kids.\u00a0 I have a ten-year-old and a seven-year-old, and there are things that I just can\u2019t do or shouldn\u2019t do, frankly.\u00a0 Choices I shouldn\u2019t make in this season that would prevent me from pouring into my kids at this age, that I\u2019ll be able to do perfectly fine in about ten years.\u00a0 So there is some of that living according to our season of life, and that requires some courage sometimes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I like what you\u2019ve done here, because regardless of whether you\u2019re single or married, whether you\u2019re a blended family, single parent mom, maybe an empty nester, you\u2019ve really given women a grade card with three categories, three assignments in life.\u00a0 I like that idea, because these are easy to evaluate in terms of . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 How am I doing?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0

world?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, if you think about it \u2013 and here\u2019s really the big picture of what it means when we talk about living according to how we\u2019re designed, what our assignments are, is if you think about it, every creator has created its thing to do something in a specific way.\u00a0 If you function that way it will work; if it doesn\u2019t it will break.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI look at my hand, for example.\u00a0 Did you know that you have 27 bones in your hand?\u00a0 It\u2019s designed so amazingly to do specific things, you know, to grip and carry, for example, but it\u2019s not designed to grab a hot pan.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 No.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, you\u2019re not designed to run on your hands.\u00a0 That\u2019s what your feet are for.\u00a0 You\u2019re not designed \u2013 if you try, you probably could, but it will break.\u00a0 It will break down; it\u2019s not designed for that.\u00a0 But if you use it the way it is designed, it will just feel natural.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 It will just feel like it\u2019s functioning that \u2013 where you don\u2019t even think about it \u2013 and that\u2019s the problem.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we\u2019re not thriving.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we feel stressed and juggling everything \u2013 it\u2019s because we\u2019re not functioning the way we\u2019re designed.\u00a0 We have to know what that is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 But can\u2019t you find yourself in a season of life where you kind of resent the fact that part of your life is getting abbreviated because you have to focus on something else right now?\u00a0 You just go, \u201cI want this to hurry up and I want to get on with the part I like or that I feel good about.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Well, and that\u2019s the reason why we call these five sessions the five faith steps, and that\u2019s why it requires some courage to actually make those choices and live your life that way.\u00a0 But once you do it, that\u2019s when it\u2019s like, \u201cOh. This fits, and this feels right,\u201d as opposed to \u201cI\u2019m going to miss out on something.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You actually call women after you\u2019ve had a video session where you\u2019ve taught them what the Scriptures teach \u2013 in the workbook you\u2019ll call them to form a small group and actually interact around what you\u2019ve just talked about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 What occurs in those small groups?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s a process that is pretty common for people who do Bible studies in their churches or in a small group where there is a teaching time and then they get together and they talk about it.\u00a0 It is this one-to-many life application help, you know, where you talk about, \u201cWow. Okay.\u00a0 I was challenged by this, and here\u2019s something I\u2019m really thinking that might apply to my life and I might need to make this change.\u00a0 What do you think, Sarah?\u201d\u00a0 And Sarah says, \u201cYou know, I have a totally different thing because I\u2019m having to work on this.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou help each other, and as you get to know each other over the course of these eight sessions, you\u2019re going to be creating \u2013 each person individually is going to be creating a very specific, individual map.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to look different for every woman because every woman is different and their life and their circumstances are different, but the reality is that we as women function better in fellowship.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe help each other, and we have that discipleship and that accountability so when I cannot figure out how am I designed, and her best friend is sitting next to her and says \u201cWell, Sarah.\u00a0 You absolutely love having people over to your house.\u00a0 You love having people over to your house on Friday night.\u00a0 You know what?\u00a0 That\u2019s the gift of hospitality.\u00a0 I bet you could invite newcomers from your church over to your house on Sunday after church.\u00a0 That would feel awful to me; that would feel like a lot of pressure, but for you, it lights you up.\u00a0 That\u2019s an example of subdue and rule and advancing God\u2019s kingdom.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0 You know, it wouldn\u2019t have occurred to her, but in fellowship and community in this discussion group, those things are going to come out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, some of our listeners are hearing you talk about this video series, and they\u2019re thinking, \u201cOkay.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see.\u00a0 Last fall we went through this one book, and then in the spring we did the Beth Moore study.\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00a0 This sounds interesting.\u201d\u00a0 How do you decide what to do next?\u00a0 Why would somebody say, \u201cThis is the series we ought to go through?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, man.\u00a0 Well, the thing is, I think every single woman listening to our voices right now feels like she\u2019s juggling everything.\u00a0 I think every single women is feeling like there aren\u2019t enough hours in the day, and \u201cWhat do I do?\u00a0 I\u2019m torn.\u00a0 I\u2019m stressed sometimes.\u201d\u00a0 This is a blueprint that will absolutely help every single woman.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd you know what?\u00a0 Frankly, I\u2019m going to go through this again in about six or seven years because my life is going to look very different, when my kids are teenagers and they\u2019re off doing their own thing and I\u2019m getting ready to be more of an empty nester.\u00a0 I need to redo it at that point, and think about, \u201cOkay, what does it mean for me then?\u201d\u00a0 I mean, there are going to be changes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s also fantastic as an outreach, because every woman wants to know how to balance their life.\u00a0 Can you imagine?\u00a0 Invite your friends \u2013 They\u2019re going to have hundreds of friends who want to learn how to balance their life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, and they\u2019re looking for friendships and relationships in the process, and a small group study like this really enables people to connect their hearts to one another.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, and it also is done in a way that is very attuned to how women need to do a study like this today.\u00a0 I can\u2019t do a study on \u201cHow do you juggle your busy life,\u201d and then give you hours and hours of homework during the week.\u00a0 I mean, I\u2019ve done the Bible studies before and I love them, like Beth Moore\u2019s Bible studies.\u00a0 I love those, but I always find myself \u2013 I start off real good and then I kind of don\u2019t finish the homework, and I\u2019m having to do like four days of homework on the last night, you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yeah.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 And the reality is, for some women that\u2019s just not realistic, but they still need the application, and so what we do is we do the application in the middle of the group time.\u00a0 So I\u2019ll have a teaching time and then I\u2019ll say, \u201cOkay, we\u2019ve talked about this for the last ten minutes on this video.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to put a clock up on the screen, and for the next five minutes, individually, sit there and go through this exercise.\u00a0 It\u2019s an application:\u00a0 How does this apply to you?\u00a0 What does this mean to you?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd you chart it out or whatever that exercise is, and then the five minutes are done and we come back and we continue the teaching time, and may do that once or twice.\u00a0 Then, you know, you go to your group time feeling like, \u201cOkay.\u00a0 You\u2019ve already got your individual application started.\u201d\u00a0 And then \u2013 you know, some people will want the personal devotional time.\u00a0 Some people will want the homework, so we have that as optional for those people who want it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think one of the things that is really refreshing about this series is that you\u2019re not stepping up and saying, \u201cOkay, ladies, look.

know Shaunti, she is the author of a number of books.\u00a0 Probably the best known sold over a million copies, <em>For Women Only.<\/em><em>\u00a0 <\/em>She also has written a book with her husband, Jeff, called <em>For Men Only. <\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<em>\u00a0<\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tShe has collaborated with Dr. Robert Lewis, who is the founder and creator of <em>Men\u2019s Fraternity<\/em>, which was used in over 20,000 churches across the country, to create a core curriculum, a training package for women today, helping them understand what God\u2019s design is for them.\u00a0 Shaunti, of course, is the lead speaker in this and helped design the material.\u00a0 Explain to our listeners \u2013 just give them an overview of what <em>LifeReady Woman<\/em> is all about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, it\u2019s basically \u2013 the perfect description of it is the subtitle, <em>Thriving in a Do It All World<\/em>, because that is what every woman feels that the world is like today, is we are just juggling everything.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 You are a mom of two.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 I am a mom of two.\u00a0 I have a husband.\u00a0 I have a thriving ministry.\u00a0 I\u2019m always traveling and speaking, and soccer runs, and church activities, and everything else that every other woman is like \u201cOkay, how do I juggle this?\u201d\u00a0 Basically, what this study and the book is doing is to help us as women who are in a modern, very crazy, do-it-all culture understand how on earth do we balance our lives, but from a totally biblical perspective.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, I like the fact that here on the back of the manual you say, \u201cThe difference between doing it all and doing what matters.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s really what you\u2019re trying to point women toward, isn\u2019t it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 And it\u2019s basically digging out of the Scripture.\u00a0 Turns out that there is a fantastic biblical blueprint that a lot of us have missed about how on earth do we balance our lives?\u00a0 We have so many choices and so many opportunities come at us every single day.\u00a0 How do we choose between them?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, we have this idea that you can kind of have it all.\u00a0 That\u2019s just a recipe for heartbreak.\u00a0 You may be able to have it all, but not necessarily all at the same time.\u00a0 So how do you choose what you do and don\u2019t do and when?\u00a0 That\u2019s where it turns out that there is this biblical model for us.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 So you and Robert have put together this book, <em>The LifeReady Woman,<\/em> and the DVD series that goes along with it that\u2019s an eight-session DVD series.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Explain why you did both a book and a DVD series.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, you know the book is basically like more of a basic premise, like here is the starting point for us to know, and it was based on some work that Robert had done years ago based on his years and years of experience as a senior pastor and digging some of this out of the Scriptures.\u00a0 And then what he did is hand it over to me and say, \u201cYou\u2019re the one who is a woman.\u00a0 You\u2019re speaking to women.\u00a0 You know what a woman\u2019s life is like.\u00a0 Pull this together and create this video-driven series that women can go through.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s this eight sessions where you can go through it and help women walk through the application of this to their life.\u00a0 Every single woman will walk out of this study feeling like, \u201cAhhh.\u00a0 I know how to balance my life.\u00a0 I know what I am supposed to do.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Is that the issue for women today, do you think?\u00a0 This issue of balance, and . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t(laughter)\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think there are a lot of women today who feel guilty, who are struggling with all kinds of pressure that other people put on them, because they don\u2019t know what the biblical blueprints are all about for being a woman today.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 There are all these messages coming at them from TV, from movies, from the internet, from even church \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yeah!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 -- and their friends and the community.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 I hate to say it, but there are \u2013 it\u2019s not just the culture that imposes these ideas on us of what we\u2019re supposed to do.\u00a0 Sometimes even in the church, well-meaning pastors and Christian friends can say, \u201cYou know what?\u00a0 You\u2019re really supposed to look like this.\u201d\u00a0 And that\u2019s maybe how <em>they\u2019re<\/em> supposed to look and what <em>their<\/em> life is to look like because that\u2019s God\u2019s design for <em>them<\/em>, but we have to go back to the Scriptures and dig out, what is God\u2019s design?\u00a0 What are his callings for me?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat we\u2019ve done is basically said, \u201cOkay, here\u2019s the biblical grid.\u00a0 God has given all of us, men and women, these core callings.\u201d\u00a0 There are three core callings.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then we say, \u201cOkay, now we\u2019re designed as women, and that means something, and then we\u2019re designed as an individual, and where those three intersect is going to be the place that will feel right.\u00a0 This is correct.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t the juggling and torn and stressed \u2013 no this is the way I\u2019m designed.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You may not feel that way instantly, right away, but as you walk in it \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s where it\u2019s going to make sense, right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Absolutely.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 This is designed to last eight weeks, or maybe sixteen weeks, depending upon how the group decides to roll out the videos.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s right.\u00a0 Correct.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Explain what the eight sessions are that you go through with the group.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Sure.\u00a0 Well the first one is basically talking about the fact that we need a compass and sort of a grid to get us there to begin with.\u00a0 You know, it\u2019s interesting.\u00a0 We as women, we don\u2019t even realize that we\u2019re chasing our tails so much.\u00a0 We\u2019re running around like crazy people that we don\u2019t stop and think about, \u201cHuh.\u00a0 Am I functioning the way that I\u2019m designed?\u00a0 Am I doing this right?\u201d\u00a0 We\u2019re just trying to survive, basically, a lot of us as women.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 On a treadmill.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 That\u2019s what it feels like.\u00a0 I use the analogy of the fact that we need something to orient us that is firm, that is fixed, that is unchanging that we can look to, which is the Bible.\u00a0 It\u2019s not going to change as the culture changes, and this is the beauty for us as women today.\u00a0 If you have this unchanging reference point, it\u2019s going to affect you, where you are today, regardless of what your life looks like.\u00a0 You can look to it to make those decisions of how to organize your life.\u00a0 So that\u2019s what the first session is all about \u2013 it\u2019s getting women on the same page with that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then the next sessions are: What does that look like?\u00a0 What is the biblical grid?\u00a0 You know, we talk about that there are these three core callings, that everybody, man and woman, is designed for.\u00a0 So what are those?\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen we talk about, that there are feminine callings.\u00a0 We\u2019re narrowed down, we\u2019re women, we\u2019re designed that way for a reason, so what are those?\u00a0 And then our individual gifts.\u00a0 So we have a grid where people start placing themselves on this map, so to speak, and creating a blueprint.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then the next five sessions are saying, \u201cYou know what?\u00a0 Actually living this way is going to require some serious steps of faith sometimes and some courage to actually walk through this and make some tough choices in order to live with your design rather than against it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 One of those faith steps you encourage women to is to live from the inside out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 Explain what you mean by that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 That\u2019s a perfect example where we say, \u201cOkay, our three core callings have to be at the center of our life.\u201d\u00a0 The three core callings, just so you know, are back in Genesis, where God brings Adam and Eve together and he basically gives us as men and women a design.\u00a0 He says, \u201cHere\u2019s your job description.\u00a0 Here\u2019s what you\u2019re designed for.\u00a0 If you do this, life will work.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe says we\u2019re designed to leave and cleave \u2013 leave father and mother, cleave \u2013 you know the husband is to cleave to the wife and obviously it works in reverse as well, and become one, and so we\u2019re to be working on that.\u00a0 And then we\u2019re to be fruitful and multiply, and that doesn\u2019t just mean have kids.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 That is, we\u2019re supposed to be launching a godly next generation.\u00a0 We\u2019re supposed to be spreading that influence throughout the earth and be part of that, regardless of whether we have kids of our own at the moment.\u00a0 Everybody is supposed to be pouring into that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd then, third, God says, \u201cSubdue the earth and rule over it.\u201d\u00a0 That subdue and rule is the idea of everybody has gifting, and they\u2019re supposed to be advancing God\u2019s kingdom beyond the home and into the world in concert with their unique, individual gifting.\u00a0 So living from the inside out is taking those three core callings and saying, \u201cHow am I using that to make choices about everything around me, rather than letting the world \u2013\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 -- tell me what my choices should be and pressing in on me from the outside as to what those choices should be.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s really a restatement of Romans 12 \u2013 \u201cDon\u2019t be conformed to the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.\u201d\u00a0 You\u2019re really calling for women to renew their mind according to God\u2019s blueprints of leave, cleave and become one.\u00a0 What\u2019s another one of the sessions you take people through?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, when we talk about the faith steps and these sort of \u2013 it kind of requires some courage and it requires being a little bolder, like \u201cOkay, I\u2019m going to, I\u2019m going to do this.\u201d\u00a0 Another one that\u2019s very important for us as women is to live according to our season of life.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEach of these core callings will kind of look different in different seasons of life.\u00a0 We have to do them all, and if we do, we\u2019ll feel less stress, not more.\u00a0 We\u2019ll feel like we\u2019re functioning the way we\u2019re designed.\u00a0 But that is going to look different. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLike for me, I have small kids.\u00a0 I have a ten-year-old and a seven-year-old, and there are things that I just can\u2019t do or shouldn\u2019t do, frankly.\u00a0 Choices I shouldn\u2019t make in this season that would prevent me from pouring into my kids at this age, that I\u2019ll be able to do perfectly fine in about ten years.\u00a0 So there is some of that living according to our season of life, and that requires some courage sometimes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 I like what you\u2019ve done here, because regardless of whether you\u2019re single or married, whether you\u2019re a blended family, single parent mom, maybe an empty nester, you\u2019ve really given women a grade card with three categories, three assignments in life.\u00a0 I like that idea, because these are easy to evaluate in terms of . . .\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 How am I doing?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 How am I doing here?\u00a0 In this new season, am I really being obedient to where God has me to have an impact for Christ in my world?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, if you think about it \u2013 and here\u2019s really the big picture of what it means when we talk about living according to how we\u2019re designed, what our assignments are, is if you think about it, every creator has created its thing to do something in a specific way.\u00a0 If you function that way it will work; if it doesn\u2019t it will break.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI look at my hand, for example.\u00a0 Did you know that you have 27 bones in your hand?\u00a0 It\u2019s designed so amazingly to do specific things, you know, to grip and carry, for example, but it\u2019s not designed to grab a hot pan.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 No.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, you\u2019re not designed to run on your hands.\u00a0 That\u2019s what your feet are for.\u00a0 You\u2019re not designed \u2013 if you try, you probably could, but it will break.\u00a0 It will break down; it\u2019s not designed for that.\u00a0 But if you use it the way it is designed, it will just feel natural.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 It will just feel like it\u2019s functioning that \u2013 where you don\u2019t even think about it \u2013 and that\u2019s the problem.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we\u2019re not thriving.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we feel stressed and juggling everything \u2013 it\u2019s because we\u2019re not functioning the way we\u2019re designed.\u00a0 We have to know what that is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 But can\u2019t you find yourself in a season of life where you kind of resent the fact that part of your life is getting abbreviated because you have to focus on something else right now?\u00a0 You just go, \u201cI want this to hurry up and I want to get on with the part I like or that I feel good about.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Well, and that\u2019s the reason why we call these five sessions the five faith steps, and that\u2019s why it requires some courage to actually make those choices and live your life that way.\u00a0 But once you do it, that\u2019s when it\u2019s like, \u201cOh.

Okay.\u00a0 I was challenged by this, and here\u2019s something I\u2019m really thinking that might apply to my life and I might need to make this change.\u00a0 What do you think, Sarah?\u201d\u00a0 And Sarah says, \u201cYou know, I have a totally different thing because I\u2019m having to work on this.\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou help each other, and as you get to know each other over the course of these eight sessions, you\u2019re going to be creating \u2013 each person individually is going to be creating a very specific, individual map.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to look different for every woman because every woman is different and their life and their circumstances are different, but the reality is that we as women function better in fellowship.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe help each other, and we have that discipleship and that accountability so when I cannot figure out how am I designed, and her best friend is sitting next to her and says \u201cWell, Sarah.\u00a0 You absolutely love having people over to your house.\u00a0 You love having people over to your house on Friday night.\u00a0 You know what?\u00a0 That\u2019s the gift of hospitality.\u00a0 I bet you could invite newcomers from your church over to your house on Sunday after church.\u00a0 That would feel awful to me; that would feel like a lot of pressure, but for you, it lights you up.\u00a0 That\u2019s an example of subdue and rule and advancing God\u2019s kingdom.\u201d\u00a0 \u201cReally?\u201d\u00a0 You know, it wouldn\u2019t have occurred to her, but in fellowship and community in this discussion group, those things are going to come out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 You know, some of our listeners are hearing you talk about this video series, and they\u2019re thinking, \u201cOkay.\u00a0 Let\u2019s see.\u00a0 Last fall we went through this one book, and then in the spring we did the Beth Moore study.\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00a0 This sounds interesting.\u201d\u00a0 How do you decide what to do next?\u00a0 Why would somebody say, \u201cThis is the series we ought to go through?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Oh, man.\u00a0 Well, the thing is, I think every single woman listening to our voices right now feels like she\u2019s juggling everything.\u00a0 I think every single women is feeling like there aren\u2019t enough hours in the day, and \u201cWhat do I do?\u00a0 I\u2019m torn.\u00a0 I\u2019m stressed sometimes.\u201d\u00a0 This is a blueprint that will absolutely help every single woman.\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd you know what?\u00a0 Frankly, I\u2019m going to go through this again in about six or seven years because my life is going to look very different, when my kids are teenagers and they\u2019re off doing their own thing and I\u2019m getting ready to be more of an empty nester.\u00a0 I need to redo it at that point, and think about, \u201cOkay, what does it mean for me then?\u201d\u00a0 I mean, there are going to be changes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s also fantastic as an outreach, because every woman wants to know how to balance their life.\u00a0 Can you imagine?\u00a0 Invite your friends \u2013 They\u2019re going to have hundreds of friends who want to learn how to balance their life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yes, and they\u2019re looking for friendships and relationships in the process, and a small group study like this really enables people to connect their hearts to one another.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 Well, and it also is done in a way that is very attuned to how women need to do a study like this today.\u00a0 I can\u2019t do a study on \u201cHow do you juggle your busy life,\u201d and then give you hours and hours of homework during the week.\u00a0 I mean, I\u2019ve done the Bible studies before and I love them, like Beth Moore\u2019s Bible studies.\u00a0 I love those, but I always find myself \u2013 I start off real good and then I kind of don\u2019t finish the homework, and I\u2019m having to do like four days of homework on the last night, you know?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yeah.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Shaunti:<\/strong>\u00a0 And the reality is, for some women that\u2019s just not realistic, but they still need the application, and so what we do is we do the application in the middle of the group time.\u00a0 So I\u2019ll have a teaching time and then I\u2019ll say, \u201cOkay, we\u2019ve talked about this for the last ten minutes on this video.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to put a clock up on the screen, and for the next five minutes, individually, sit there and go through this exercise.\u00a0 It\u2019s an application:\u00a0 How does this apply to you?\u00a0 What does this mean to you?\u201d\u00a0 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd you chart it out or whatever that exercise is, and then the five minutes are done and we come back and we continue the teaching time, and may do that once or twice.\u00a0 Then, you know, you go to your group time feeling like, \u201cOkay.\u00a0 You\u2019ve already got your individual application started.\u201d\u00a0 And then \u2013 you know, some people will want the personal devotional time.\u00a0 Some people will want the homework, so we have that as optional for those people who want it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong>\u00a0 I think one of the things that is really refreshing about this series is that you\u2019re not stepping up and saying, \u201cOkay, ladies, look.
