Is ordinary really that wonderful? The word ordinary doesn't seem to call out anything special. As a result many women take that to mean that they have nothing to offer, that they don't have anything worthwhile to give or they aren't enough and therefore God doesn't have a plan or a purpose for them. As a result many women wonder what the point is, they become stuck and sadly can miss the many invitations God gives to them.

Have you ever had a plan? Like, had it all mapped out. Every. Single. Detail. Only to discover that God had another plan? Or have you ever been stuck in a season, thinking nothing is happening, only to realise God's greatest work was done in the waiting?

Have you ever considered your vocation to be a vocation? A calling? Have you considered that within you, you possess qualities which are desperately needed in this world?

Join host, Karen Doyle and guest Madeleine Carrington as they unpack what it means to speak of the genius of womanhood.
