Ep 2010: Celebrate the Blessed Alliance!

Catherine Gates has held several different roles and been able to connect with so many people throughout her career. In fact, this show refers to her as a “human bridge,” as she has brought together so many different businesses and individuals.

Amy Cedrone is grateful for the opportunity to celebrate and pour into women but would like to see Christian working women further equipped and encouraged. They testify that no role, connection, or experience is ever wasted by God.

Due to a mutual calling to embolden women in their faith, this duo collaborates together at Polished Network, an organization that helps women develop both their personal and professional lives – and all from a biblical perspective! Their most notable resource is the Boldly Conference – taking place in Carrollton, TX, this year on Friday, October 20th.

So, what are some ways we can celebrate Chrisitan working women?

• Just as Polished Network and iWork4Him embody a spirit of collaboration, we can seek out ways to include women’s voices and participation.
• Recognize the “blessed alliance” that is women co-laboring with men. Women bring a unique sensitivity to hearing God’s voice, “juggability,” and a fuller perspective to any table.
• Encourage the women in your life to get involved in communities like those that Polished offers, where women can connect, celebrate each other, and grow.
• Read and gift the sheWorks4Him book – a field guide chocked full of practical advice to help Christian working women embrace their calling each day.
• Specifically for our female listeners: attend the 2023 Boldly Conference! If you’re not able to make it to Texas, have your church host a watch party. This is a great next step for any women in any career.

This year’s Boldly Conference motto is “Be renewed. Be emboldened. Be transformed.”, and we pray that this episode will catapult women into truly chasing God’s purpose as the incredible Christian women He’s created them to be.
