Stepping into your powerful and majestic role as a Woman in Zion
This is part 2 in a series where we explore divine truths of what it is to be a woman in Zion. How do I discover my unique role as a woman in God’s plan? How do I explain to my daughter why she can’t hold the priesthood? How do I overcome doubt of my value as a woman in the church? I try to address these and other concerns in this episode as I focus on this important truth... We cannot see our unique role if we are focused on or comparing to the role of someone else, male or female.Book by Wendy Watson NelsonStay connected @amberdawnpearce on all media platforms Set up your Thrive Life freeze dried food delivery My 2 favorite talks:1.

The powerful and majestic role of Women in Zion.
The Powerful and Majestic Role of a Woman in ZionTo be able to see our role clearly as Women in Zion and step into that role fully is to bring the power of Jesus Christ into our lives. But with the influence of the world, our view can get muddied. In this episode I get a little vulnerable and share an experience where God corrected my view and and showed me something much more majestic. The Spirit taught me something about the role of women that no one has been able to explain to me in quite the same way. I hope I am able to convey it with the same power here because it has changed me.Follow me @amberdawnpearce on all social media platformsGet 15% retail and free shipping on orders of $100 or more on Thrive freeze dried foods. www.amber.thrivelife.comStudy resources:Women and priesthood power.Prophets Speak to WomenReal Meaning of the term Help MeetReferences:Knowing Who You Are —and Who You Have Always BeenSheri L.

Help Bring Christ Into The World
Have you ever wondered what it may have been like when the Savior was born? Common sense would make you wonder if Mary had another woman there to assist her. As I imagined that woman, a story and beautiful lesson came to life. As women we have a noble calling to help bring the Savior into the world. In the process we will find healing in our own lives. In this episode I share my testimony of the power of righteous women as well as the moving story I wrote about the handmaid who assisted Mary.Find me on all social media platforms @amberdawnpearceGo to www.amber.thrivelife.com and set up a delivery to get 15% off retail and free shipping on orders of $100 or more.References:"The Role of Righteous Women" By President Spencer W.

About Hope Smiling Brightly with Amber Dawn Pearce
I had a wonderful and unique upbringing raised off grid by addict hippies who converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We ending up becoming a family of 15 including 8 adopted siblings. Yep, I know what it’s like to live in a home with dirt floors, and no plumbing or electricity. Oh I’ve got stories. You’ll hear a lot of them here. But the most important thing I share is what my life has taught me about the power of Jesus Christ. That answer you've been seeking. That change you've hoped for. That struggle you want to overcome. The goal you want to reach. It is all in Jesus Christ. Christ can be your coach, your mentor, your motivational speaker, your healer. After living a life seeking hope and help from every solution out there I finally learned how to access the power of change through Christ.
