No More Shame (Lysa's Testimony)

Many women walk alone haunted by the shame of past mistakes or the accusing lies of Satan. We think that by hiding these hurts that they'll just fade away.

  • Stop shame from blocking God's blessings.

What a blessing to have you share your heart and what Christ has done in your heart and mind. You were such an inspiration to everyone!!"

Having the opportunity to sit and eat dinner with you was a special time for me. I was so excited when I found the Encouragement for Today messages and am taken back to that retreat every single time that I see your name on the message of the day. That retreat profoundly touched my life and I just wanted to thank you. May God richly bless every day of your life as you bless the rest of us."

"To listen to people talk, the best thing we’ve ever done was invite Lysa to Abilene.

Congratulations. Well deserved praise!"
