As baptized followers of Christ, we are all called to be missionaries! This week, we reflect on what it means to live as missionaries in our everyday lives—whether at home, work, or in our communities. Jesus' Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) invites us to go out and make disciples, but it also calls us to live in a way that reflects the love and hope of the Gospel. How can we embrace our mission to share Christ with others, simply by the way we live?How can we be intentional in sharing our faith with others—whether through words, actions, or simply living in virtue? What challenges do you face in living out your faith in a world that can sometimes feel distant from God? Together, let’s inspire one another to live as missionaries right where we are.Join us every Tuesday LIVE in our Member Community! connect.blessedisshe.net

Jesus calls us to follow Him—not just in the moments that are easy or comfortable, but wherever He leads. This week, we’re reflecting on what it means to truly remain with Jesus, to walk beside Him through both the joys and the challenges of life. How can we trust Him enough to follow wherever He goes, knowing He is always with us?What does it mean to you to "remain with Jesus"? How do you stay close to Him in your day-to-day life?

In a world full of distractions, it can be challenging to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. This week, we’re focusing on reclaiming our attention—shifting our gaze from the noise around us to the presence of Christ. How can we, as women of faith, actively choose where to direct our focus and bring our hearts back to what truly matters?What are some of the biggest distractions in your life that pull your attention away from God? How do you recognize when your focus has shifted?

We’re focusing on making space for growth and renewal in our spiritual lives. Just as we clean out our homes to welcome the fresh air of spring, we are invited to do the same for our souls. How can we clear away distractions, old wounds, or unhealthy habits to make room for Jesus to work in us?What’s one area of your life where you feel called to "declutter" or let go of something that is holding you back spiritually? It could be a thought pattern, an old hurt, or a particular distraction.
