Here's what people are saying about Walking With Purpose.
WWP has been a life line for me.
WWP has been a life line for me. I began WWP at time when my faith was stretched thin with the demands of family life and a weekly church experience that was not inspiring or spiritual.WWP has been the perfect blend of inspiration, time to read and explore the Bible, share daily struggles with other women, and just refocus my heart towards God.
My life has more meaning, the family life is more centered and i can now say that i truly have a personal relationship with God.

In tough times and stressful moments...
In tough times and stressful moments I have found that a theme we explored or a quote from Holy Scripture that we studied will pop into my head, and I will be reminded of how much the Father loves me and that I need to trust him more.

For the first time in 49 years and after Catholic School education, I am reading the Bible...
For the first time in 49 years and after Catholic School education, I am reading the Bible - really reading and trying to understand its meaning and application to my life. I have found a group of women who care about each other's spiritual journey and who encourage and comfort each other when we have doubts and fears, all of which makes Christ's presence in my life so real.

WWP is responsible for helping me grow in my faith from the ground up. I understand my faith better and my relationship with Jesus feels real and personal because of the course and the faith-filled people with whom I come in contact.

In times of struggle, WWP has centered me...
In times of struggle, WWP has centered me. I lean on Christ throughout the day to overcome petty annoyances to more challenging obstacles. I have observed my family's faith in God increasing as well. For example, my 6 year old son has really flourished in his daily prayer. He offers up gratitude for all the wonderful things God has given him and asks for help in many areas. It gives me great satisfaction that he knows the Lord is there for him.
I'm really looking forward to the new course offered next year!

It continues to keep me connected to my faith and my Catholic community...
It continues to keep me connected to my faith and my Catholic community. It holds me accountable for keeping up with my study and gives me perspective each week. The material continues to apply to my life (showing me each week how Christ is speaking to me through His word.) My family is certainly impacted by WWP, because with WWP, I have a solid foundation to go back home and live what I learn.

WWP has been a life-saver for me...
WWP has been a life-saver for me! I finally have the spiritual "connection" that I had been missing for so many years. My spiritual/prayer life has vastly improved, I understand my Catholic faith better than I ever have, my children have been baptized, and we're more involved in our parish! I thank WWP for my growing inner peace which I'm sure has helped my family. I am a work in progress, and it is so reassuring to be making the journey with my amazing WWP girlfriends - REAL friends!

I would say that my Catholic faith has become alive again...
I would say that my Catholic faith has become alive again. I was feeling very unsatisfied with the Church and the fact there wasn't a Catholic, women's Bible study. WWP has deepened my faith and given me a better understanding of the Gospels.

As a grandmother with no children at home...
As a grandmother with no children at home when we began last year, I wondered if it would be pertinent to my life since I wasn't in the child rearing years anymore. I have found EVERY single lesson to be a significant meditation/exercise that has always been beneficial mostly to my own prayer life but hopefully in the way I act with my family.

WWP has been a compass that helps point my way to Christ...
WWP has been a compass that helps point my way to Christ. Since mothers usually set the tone both for mood and spirituality in the home, and our home is no exception, the whole family benefits when I am "kept on course!"

I have enjoyed being with women who are mostly close in age to me and have children my age and can relate to many of the challenges that they face. It's been great knowing that I can ask them to pray for me and my intentions.

It has showed me that as women we are all on a spiritual journey. Our journeys are different sometimes from each other but similar. It gives me to know that I am not alone in my struggles. Have learned and developed great respect for those within our group.
WWP has truly been a blessing in my life...
WWP has truly been a blessing in my life. It has helped me look at some scripture differently/from a different angle. Love the stories @ the Saints.
Honestly, it continues to make all the difference in my lfe...
Honestly, it continues to make all the difference in my life. It has given my life the purpose and direction that I was searching for. It has brought Christ truly into my life, my everyday life. It has filled the empty space deep down inside my soul with a peace that I never thought possible. It has brought a circle of women into my life that I am so proud to call my friends. WHAT A GIFT! It has shown me how to understand my faith and most important how to practically live my faith..every day. I have a long way to go on my spiritual journey but I am now on the journey and cherishing every minute. Thank you!
Participating in the Walking with Purpose Bible Study has given me direction in my life...
Participating in the Walking with Purpose Bible Study has given me direction in my life as a wife and mother. Before joining the group I never felt satisfied with my life. I was a new mother looking to my husband and friends for their approval of what I was doing in my life.
As a newcomer to Bible studies, I was not quite sure what to expect when I joined the Women's Bible Study group...
As a newcomer to Bible studies, I was not quite sure what to expect when I joined the Women's Bible Study group at St. Andrew by the Bay four years ago. Much to my surprise, I found myself longing for this weekly meeting with a diverse group of women. Our common bond was our faith. What I learned was that deepening my knowledge about my faith would help me grow stronger as a mother and a wife, as well as a follower of God.

In my 5 years of Bible study, I have laughed a lot, learned a lot and matured in Christ with the inspiration and encouragement of other women .
