God timed the writing of Entrusted after two decades of publishing experience and three decades in active ministry. The Paul-Timothy paradigm threw open the door of opportunity to share some things I’d learned, often the hard way, in my journey with Jesus. I’ll echo the same disclaimer here: There is so much I don’t know, so much I don’t have, but whatever is mine to give is yours to have if you want it.
Because I wrote the study to apply to Jesus followers with any spiritual gift mix, I tried to avoid the trap of overemphasizing the ones most familiar to me. All the gifts are vital and all believers are called. I kept wishing along the way, however, that I had a little extra time with young women who feel led by the Holy Spirit to speak, teach or write simply because those are the areas of my exposure and experience.
And that’s where the idea for Lit emerged:
Making the most of a Saturday – from morning through evening – to pour into women in their 20s and 30s who have completed the 5-week study Entrusted and desire to zero-in specifically on speaking and writing gifts. I’m going to have to ask you to trust my motive here. I’m not trying to sell you a Bible study. I have a couple of different reasons for making it a requirement. First, space is limited and I want to insure that those who come are serious about the Scriptures and convinced they want to press on and pay the price of self-discipline to grow into their callings. I’d rather have 100 with fire in their bones than 500 who are mostly just curious. Nothing is wrong with curiosity. It’s just not what this day is set aside to satisfy. Secondly and most importantly, making Entrusted a prerequisite means that we come together on the same page. We can hit the ground running on that Saturday morning and make the most use of our time. Entrusted involves the fundamentals of becoming a mighty servant of God, of grasping the gospel message and using our diverse gifts to share it. If we all come together with those basics already in our arsenal, we can launch straight to the next level.
And we’re going to have a blast. I’ve asked my friend, Christy Nockels, to lead worship and invited a cross-section of my speaking/teaching/writing friends and colleagues to join Christy and me that evening for a panel and Q&A. I love and respect so many female teachers and authors serving our generation and wish we had a week to expose you to all of them. The ones who will serve on our panel that night were sought out because each brings something different to the mix.
Before I give you instructions for our first-come, first-serve registration, here’s a glimpse of the schedule so you can see if it appeals to you:
Our very special guests joining me that evening for the panel are Jennie Allen, Christine Caine, Melissa Moore, Christy Nockels, Priscilla Shirer and host Amanda Jones.
REGISTRATION OPENS Friday, Nov 25th at 9 a.m. Cost $25.00 (to help cover expenses).
Space is limited and our aim will be to fill the room evenly with young women in their 20s and in their 30s. But please don’t delay, if either decade does not fill up by December 1st, registration will open up the remaining space.
Requirement: 5 week Bible study Entrusted completed by that day and brought with each attendee as her ticket for admission. Please no exceptions. (Both workbook and DVD sessions recommended but only the completion of the workbook is required.)
The registration page will include hotel information, along with a full FAQ section to help with any questions you might have.
I can already tell you this will be one of the most fun gatherings I get to be part of all year. I cannot WAIT.
I believe strongly in what God wants to do with you young women.
So much love to all of you. I’m honored to be your big sister and servant.
Beth
Well, dang. I guess 20-30s doesn’t include 50s. But I sure would like to sponsor a young’un or two. If that need arrises, please let us older’uns know.
I am so passionate about the need for this, Beth… to raise up these young gals to be teachers of sound doctrine.
God bless you for doing this!
And if one of the young ones has to cancel and you need an older one to fill… I’m your gal.
xoxo – P
Hi Punky, you’re so kind! If you would like to sponsor someone, you can give our office a call at (281)257-3448, and we will be happy to help you do that. Blessings to you!
Thank you Beth, LPM, and other teachers! Any chance that you awesome ladies would be able to record the event or offer it again later? I will be too close to my sweet miracle baby’s due date to travel. I imagine there are many others who would benefit from a recording too, including those unable to afford to travel, or upcoming leaders in other countries hungry for reliable resources…
Hi Jodi! We will be taping the event, so there is a chance it will become available in the future. We will be sure to share if it does become available. Blessings!
I would love to come to this!! Though, living in CA limits my opportunity to do so … HA! So if you ladies are able to record it and offer it later, that would be such a gift!! Blessings
YEAH! Please keep us posted. (which you do SO well!)
Thank you so much! I will be looking forward to this! One other thing I appreciate is how affordable the price is for the workshop. I had looked into doing something similar but felt burdened because I knew people more talented than myself who could not afford the entry price. If I was going to get that kind of training I wanted them to desperately. But the price was too expensive for me to pay for myself and my friends. Hopefully I can help get this into the hands and hearts of these amazing ladies I see God calling and working in their lives. Thank you so much! This is an encouraging answer to my prayers!
As the sign up time grows near, I recalculated my due date, but at 37 weeks pregnant on Feb 11, my doctor, like most, would not clear me to travel. Also the thought of someone going into labor during a session is definitely not the excitement/distraction anyone wants!! However I feel led to pray for the event, those who attend, and for the possibility of taping it. I apologize for the multiple replies, but God keeps putting this on my heart. Thank you for hosting this!
I, too, am in the same boat and hoping that future opportunities would be available! Either more events or a recorded webcast or video. Thank you, Beth, for doing this!
Just to clarify…registration will not be open to the 40 and up crowd unless it doesn’t fill up? Thanks. This looks to be an amazing day!
Hi Ashley! Yes, that’s correct. If there is remaining space by December 1st, it will open up to women of all ages. Blessings to you!
I would LOVE to attend but I’m well past my 30’s. Hoping Beth will consider releasing the teaching for us older gals (writers/speakers) to glean from her too. I’ll be sure to check back on December 1st to see if any slots open up, but I’m sure this event will sell out quickly.
Hi Leah! We will be sure let everyone know if we make the taping of the event available.
I am so excited for this event. Hoping to make it (would be flying from Michigan), if something prevents my attendance is there going to be a live stream by chance?!
Praying for this event!! Tnank you Ms. Beth
Hi Sara, we sure hope you are able to join us! We won’t be live-streaming the event. However, we are taping the event so it may become available sometime in the future. Blessings!
Beth- I’m so excited and SO thankful! God Bless you for your willingness to pour into us!!!
Would you please consider hosting one of these events for those of us who are 40? Please and thank you!
I second the request to allow the 40 somethings to attend I will be there if so!
Hi Tina! If there is still available space on December 1st, those spots will be open to women of all ages. We just want to give our younger sisters a head start. Blessings!
I so wish this would’ve been available to me years ago. I am at least twice as old as the 30+ yrs these gals will be but some of us are called later in life. When I was that age I was busy raising two special needs kids and later I had to work outside the home with precious little time or resources to pursue another career.
Because the Lord has lead me through many rocky paths and I have gained alot of wisdom in going through raising these kids and fighting a severe mood disorder and many other circumstances that almost claimed my life I now feel in my retirement years that the Lord is calling me to write and speak for Him. I find all over even in our church, leadership seminars are catering mostly to the younger gals who may be busy with raising children and pursuing other careers as well. Let’s face it, writing and speaking is a crowded field and unless you have connections and a very good platform you may not break in easily. Now gals like me have more time, have more resources to pursue this and still could benefit from seminars and conferences like this but sadly we are aged out of it.
I have just had a couple of Bible studies devos etc published in our international women’s quarterly in our LCMS church and am pretty much learning as I go along. I have learned not to bite off a big bite to start with and start smaller not writing a book as a first venture. I will at some point finish our family memoirs and am hoping to publish smaller books in a study/ story format but have not began that as yet.
I pray these young gals will take advantage of this I wish I would have this opportunity.
Thank you Beth for sacrificing your time and resources to make this available to those young gals starting out.
Hugs,
Betty
PS We will be starting the Entrusted study in our small group soon.
Thank you for sharing, Betty. And thank you for your prayers! Blessings to you!
Oh. My. This is an answer to so many prayers and this confirmation is indescribable. Already had Entrusted sitting on my desk as ‘next in line’ for bible study. The entire book of 2 Timothy continues to speak to me in ways that take my breath away, and 2 Timothy 1:6-7 has been my life verse since 2011/2012. I’m so excited! Already spoken to my husband, and I’m in! God is doing something NEW! Glory!
Would love for you to do this with those of us that are older and have been called but just now able to walk in that calling. Awesome that you are doing this with the younger generation though! You are such a blessing to the Body of Christ!!!
I am so excited for this! I pray God makes this happen! He is a good God! Thank you, Beth Moore.
It’s like God is lining me up with you, my mom got me your new fiction book, The Undoing of Saint Silvanus, and she had it signed by you – to me! As if that wasn’t big enough! Now you’re hosting a conference, with other women I love, and it’s close enough for me to drive to! Can’t wait!!
YESSSSSS! This sounds like it’s going to be AWESOME! Will you offer hotel recommendations or other travel suggestions? Thanks 🙂
Hi Bianca! Yes, we will have hotel recommendations as well as some rooms blocked off for those attending the event. You can check back on the registration site for more information. Blessings!
How many spots are going to be open in each age group?
Hi Cassandra! Registration will open first to women in their 20s and 30s (no designated number for each), and then if there is still available space, it will open up to women of all ages on December 1st. I hope this helps!
I am in my 20’s… I’m just curious of how many spots are going to be open for the women in their 20’s
Hi Cassandra, we would love for you to join us! We haven’t released the number of spots available, only that there is a limited number. However, registration is open for women in their 20s and 30s only from November 25 to December 1 so as give you a little head start. Blessings!
Any chance this would be offered online? My baby is due Jan. 30th; therefore, I will be unable to travel. I have been looking forward to this event and completed the study. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to watch online and gain the same resources.
Blessings,
Angela
Hi Angela, congratulations on your sweet baby! We won’t be live-streaming the event, but we will be taping it with the possibility of eventually making it available for you. If it becomes available, we will be sure to announce it. Blessings to you!
PLEASE. PLEASE. Open this up to 40’s! Entrusted has impacted me in crazy ways. I was looking for a way to sign up before I finished reading the whole article–then saw I’m beyond the age limit. Seriously–PLEASE. If this one fills up–& I know it will because this is INCREDIBLE–PLEASE consider a session for us older gals. Or at least let us color our gray, squeeze in to threads way too young for us, learn some younger lingo, and sneak in!
Just in case there will be no room for women outside the 20-30 age bracket, are you able to share similar resources we can look into? Thank you!
Hi Eyre, thank you for your interest! We will be filming the event with the possibility of eventually making it available for you. If it becomes available, we will be sure to announce it.
I LOVE this idea and hope you sell out all the tickets to women in their 20s and 30s! Putting this wisdom into that age range will so empower them for their ministries in their future. But for those of us 40+ please do record and make it available. I think I speak for many that are interested so we can share in the knowledge. GO Beth!!
I have been waiting for this since I heard Beth in Cincinnati and it lit a fire in me. I would love to attend, but turned 40 a few weeks ago. I have facilitated neighborhood Bible studies and MOPS book studies, but know it’s time for this generation to take a bigger lead in our churches and communities in teaching his Word. Having my fourth child turning four and starting preschool opens more time for me to answer this call I’ve received. I would love to get this training.
Hi Danielle! Check back on December 1st to see if the event has filled. All space not filled by December 1st will be opened to women of all ages. Blessings to you!
Thank you, Beth, and Living Proof Ministries for all that you do to serve all women!Thank you for constantly challenging us and providing incredible opportunities like this. Can’t wait to register.❤ God Bless! An answer to so many prayers! Thank you,Jesus!!
This is AMAZING!! It would be so timely for me concerning these very areas. I’ve felt so out of my depths about it, even though I fully recognize He is the one who has entrusted me with the gift and calling to share His message around the globe. So, I do want to brave up and speak/write according to His word and by His spirit, with boldness, confidence, humility, wisdom, grace, and truth. I’ve been doing the Entrusted study and it has so encouraged me. Deeply hopeful to make it in with the group for this special event to lean in and listen and learn. SO MUCH LOVE to you for doing this! XO
Wow! Thank you Beth! This 100% speaks to a secret dream God placed in my heart years ago. I am a full-time middle school teacher at an inner city charter school. Teaching inner city youth is my first passion. But, that still quiet voice keeps telling me, I will write. To share with women. In due time. I’ve waited patiently for that release. I know the time is nearing, as I wait on Him. During the wait, God is growing me, through raising my kids, leading women’s groups at our church, and learning to be a dedicated pastor’s wife (a realitively new role). Refiner’s Fire. I am looking forward to 11/25.
I am currently a Mass Comm major with a minor in Youth and Discipleship. Writing for Jesus is my passion and I would love to attend this event; however I am 19. Is there a chance I can participate?
Yes! Please do an event for those of us over 40. I turn 40 on Feb. 2 – will just miss the cut off. (sad face). Mrs. Beth I have loved learning from you for nearly 20 years! I first heard you speak at an event in my hometown of Bossier City, Louisiana when I was still in college. I recently wrote a children’s book (Tell Someone: a story to raise awareness and help prevent childhood sexual abuse) based on my own experience and have just begun speaking at MOPS meetings where I talk not just about prevention but also healing and freedom. Thanks for all you do and for leading us so well!
Hi Becky, the registration will open to women in their 20s and 30s on November 25 (we want to give our younger sisters a head start), however on December 1st, any remaining space will be available for women of all ages. Blessings!
Oh, man!! Hurt feelings… ☺️says the 43 y.o.
Will be teaching at women’s conference in Cuba this spring. Young guns- GO!! Cheering you on! Beth & crew, much love to you. (And please publish it! )
WHYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE does it have to be in TX when I’m in western NY?!!! God spoke to me a few weeks ago about writing and I’ve since started my very first blog. To God be all glory and I look forward to learning whatever you put out online! Praying it’s such a fruitful time!
Hey!!!!! Yes!!!! I’m so excited!!!! Sooooo what time does registration open?
Hi Stacey! Registration will open at 9 a.m. on November 25th.
Any chance this could be a simulcast? There are so many of us who live far away who would feel most privileged to learn from you!
Hi Chris, we won’t be live-streaming the event. However, we will record the event with the possibility of it becoming available for you in the future. We understand the difficulty for those who live far from Texas. We will be sure to announce if it becomes available. Blessings!
Oh wow! What an incredible gift! If only I were 15 years younger. I only accepted Christ when I was 38 years old and have spent the last 15 years running hard after Him, trying to make up for the years He was not Lord of my life. Beth, like so many countless women, God used you to show me how beautiful His Word is. The very first Bible study I ever did was Beth’s online Believing God study because, at that time, we did not have ladies Bible study at our church. And I have been hooked ever since, totally captivated by the beauty of His Word. When Beth came close to our area 10 years ago.I invited some ladies from my Sunday School class to see her. A fire was lit and a small group of us started ladies Bible study in one of the ladies’ home. Our small group has grown to about 30 and this past year, I had the honor and privilege to co-lead a group of senior high girls.
About 4 years ago, some dear friends started encouraging me to speak/write and I have felt God’s nudging as He pushed me through some doors:) PLEASE, PLEASE consider doing a workshop for us late bloomers!
Hi Mei, we are so thankful for the way the Lord is using you! While this event is geared toward our younger sisters, any remaining spots on December 1st will open up to women of all ages. We are also taping the event in hopes of eventually making it available for those who can’t join. However, we won’t know for sure until after the event. If the taping does become available, we will be sure to let everyone know. Blessings!
What time does registration begin?
Hi Caroline, registration will open at 9 a.m. on November 25th. Blessings!
With all my heart, I believe this age grouping is prayerful and purposeful and I submit to it. I have been tracking Beth’s comments and videos on this blog teaching those of us who are rising up to her own calling. How excited I was to hear there would be a day set aside for those of us rising up! I got Entrusted right away (mindful of the upcoming special day) &, thanks be to God, had a beautiful group in my house that included every decade from 20’s-70’s. We completed it a couple of weeks ago & are regrouping this very Wednesday to review the truths learned & what the “therefore” is for each of our lives.
I am hopeful there will be room for me after Dec 1. If not, may I humbly request another date for those of us who are older but on fire? How can I even ask this of dear Beth who is pulled in a million different directions??? I don’t know, I just feel compelled to audaciously ask. I am on the cusp of developing a ministry to hurting parents and would be blessed with the knowledge/truths that will be offered.
Not a hint of condemnation or anger. Just a request. Thank you all for what you do.
Hi sister, we are so thankful for your interest in the event! Currently, we don’t have plans for another event, but we are taping this one in hopes of making it available for those who are unable to attend. We won’t know for sure until after the event, but if it does become available we will be sure to let everyone know! Blessings!
The Holy Spirit gives a special kind of goosebumps and I love Him for it! I had chillbumps the whole time while reading.
I so want to be a part of this! I am 31. and the youngest of my 5 kiddos will still be nursing in February — if I bring a sister to watch my baby while I’m in the sessions will that be okay if she’s in a nearby room of the church? Will there be a room I could step out to nurse him in and still hear what’s being shared?
Either way — I praise God for this! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your faithfulness to equip the next generation!
Hi Elise, great question. We are currently compiling a list of FAQs that will be available on our registration site when registration goes live on November 25th. Your question will be answered there. Thank you!
Where will the event take place? So hoping there’s room for 40s!
Hi Alethea, the event will take place at Bayou City Fellowship in Cypress, TX (a suburb of Houston). Please let us know if you have further questions!
I am 64 have led every Beth Moore study and just finished up leading #entrusted tonight. God has just called me to wtite and speak (yes at 64) and to teach the younger women. Can a 64 year old come to this event? I am currently writing my very first Bible study and will be speaking for the first tome this Wednesday. Will you possibly do this for us older and just starting out? Thank you so mych seeet Beth. I am praying for this event and for you!
Hi Terrie, the registration will open first to women in their 20s and 30s, but any remaining space on December 1st will open up to women of all ages! We just want to give our younger sisters a little head start. Blessings!
Oh wow, how I hope I get to go to this! My husband’s asleep at the moment, but if he’s ok with it, I will definitely be going. I wrote a Bible study, and I’ve been blogging, and I want to know what God wants to do with it. I would LOVE to learn from those who are ahead of me on this. I especially need to learn in the area of speaking. Thank you so much!
Hi Heather, we would love for you to join us!
Wow … what a great opportunity for the young and called! I echo the hope that it (or something like it) will open up to those of us that have been called at a later age in life :).
BTW … ENTRUSTED is a Powerful Bible study! Loving it as are the group of women who are taking the journey with me!
Many Blessings Beth for all you do for the glory of God!
I am currently in my 30’s but my 40th birthday is in December. Will I still be able to register?
Hi Karre! Thank you for your question. If you are in your 20s or 30s at the time of registration, you can register beginning November 25th.
Beth! What an amazing idea – what a legacy in the making. I think this is one of your best endeavors yet. Don’t get me wrong – I L.O.V.E. your studies and LPLs – but to pour into those coming behind you – well done! So excited to watch these women arise. Be blessed by this.
I cannot believe my eyes! I have prayed for an opportunity like this!!!! I have tried before to connect with others who teach on this, but there was always a barrier. I am believing that God preserved the space for me to learn from someone who is called and TOTALLY in love with Jesus,like Beth. I’ve not completed the Entrusted study yet, but would I still qualify if I order it now and get started??? I am in need of this training for the ministry that God has given me (www.womanyouareloved.com) which has already attracted women to follow my teaching and mentoring. I believe this training would be the EXACT fine tuning that I need to service them with His highest.
Hi Deirdre, the requirement is only that you complete Entrusted by the date of the event. You have plenty of time, sister! We hope to see you there!
WEGM Bethy,
thank you all for this amazing effort to do this Lite event!
Marita and Florence Littauer would be so proud of you
beth.
so thankful you and I took advantage of Communication Skills
with Florence back in the day. Grin!!!
my silver box has always stayed on my piano .
While living in Los Angeles she taught a group of us as well.
Eph.4:32… fyi …really thankful for Entrusted and Jim
bought me t u o SS novel but hasn’t wrapped it yet.. grin
Thx 4 prayers and I pray for you more… sweetly SC
Beth,
What a beautiful picture depicting the light of Christ fueled by the Holy Spirit. The title adds a modern day twist to Psalm 105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” I look towards you and see the things you are doing. May the LORD repay your faithfulness according to His will and according to His purpose!!!
Your Dear Sister in Christ,
Jennell
Hi this is exactly what I need and I just finished the Entrusted bible study but I am 42. Can I still come??
Hi Lauralee! Registration will open on November 25th for women in their 20s and 30s, and then any remaining space on December 1st will be open to women of all ages. Blessings!
Beth & Team – This is going to be amazing time! What a great panel you have compiled and with your daughters there today – the legacy will SHINE! I’m so thankful for your investment in the young women who will attend and I will be praying for great fruit from this.
I am leading a group of young women through Entrusted right now. It’s your best, Beth – so good.
I love you!
GJ
PS: I’m glad you’re asking them to “bring the parchments” with them, and they may even need a cloak in February. 🙂
I am all kinds of crazy excited about this! It’ll be the week after my 24th birthday, and could not come at a more perfect time. Thank you, Beth, for your obedience in your ministry and willingness to share your wisdom and experience to our generation.
What time will the registration open on November 25th?
Hi Lizzie! We are thrilled for you to join us! Registration will open at 9am on November 25th.
This is going to be amazing. I will be there!! Already looking up flights and setting a calendar reminder to register first thing 11/25. And I just ordered Entrusted so I’ll be ready to go on February 11th. Thank YOU Beth for following the Spirit’s leading and putting this together for us Powerhouse line-up!! Thankful for your desire to pour into the next generation ❤️ You paved the way for women like me to have the courage to pursue our dreams of teaching, writing, and speaking for the Lord. Thank you for putting this together for us!
Hi Dom, we are so thankful you are planning to join us!
What a fabulous opportunity, and how generous of y’all to put it together. This is not for me, and I’m way past my 30’s, but I just wanted to say “thank-you!” for doing this for the young ladies who are called to minister in these areas. I’ll be praying for blessings to be poured out on this event!
Love and hugs,
Adrienne
Thank you for your prayers, sister! Blessings!
Hi! I know several women in their 40s who have been looking forward to this since you talked about it on Periscope. So wish it was open to them too because of the timing in their lives- kids older, God opening a new season for them to explore their callings to speak, write, teach. Please please please consider extending age group. These women are the ones who will take your teaching and be a Timothy with it while at the same time being Paul for others and sharing this teaching with those they are bringing up behind them. Praying this opportunity opens for them and for the sweet 64 year old Terrie that commented earlier!! Natural age means little these days to the timing of one’s calling. Pretty please! 🙂
Hi! By opening registration on November 25th to women in their 20s and 30s, we are just trying to give our younger sisters a head start. Any remaining space will be open to women of all ages starting on December 1st. Blessings to you!
Oh my! I would absolutely love to attend! But, I’m in my mid-fifties. I am a Leader among women in the local church, regionally and nationally – and my greatest weakness is speaking. I would love to bring a woman from my church that I am mentoring – Please consider me!
Wow. I will prayerfully consider this. What a fantastic panel and concept! Pulled up your blog to thank Beth and team for being so faithful in leading with dignity and grace without watering down the gospel. Women in our small New England church are drinking in James this fall (awesome!), practicing living out the gospel and loving in our non-church area. I’m trying to guide this group well. And I’m in tears over the wave of self love drowning out Jesus message from respected women leaders lately. So thank you for providing this. Thankful I might be able to squeeze in at 39. Some of us have the desire but lack courage without more training or seminary. Thank you!
I would give my right arm to go, but I am on the Dave Ramsey plan! I need to stay faithful to it. I would LOVE it if, God willing, you could have it again next year! I would make plans for a hotel and flight!
Thank you so much for believing in us, Beth (& LPM staff)! It encourages my soul as I pray about attending and I am giddy about this opportunity. Praying for you as you continue preparing and beyond thrilled for the journey that’s already in motion.
My heart jumped when I read this and I can’t get it out of my mind. If I register on Friday, I intend to do everything in my power to get to Houston from LA in February. In the event I just can’t make it work (with reasonable advanced notice), could I pass on my registration to someone who might’ve wanted to go but couldn’t swing the fee?
This sounds amazing, by the way, and I’m already scouting flights, haha.
I LOVE IT, and the name! Bless you, Beth, for following the word of the Lord in this hour and pouring into our younger sisters in this way. May our ceiling be their floor. And bless you sweet sister, whichever one of you is responding to all of these comments. This 48 year old will be watching with bated breath on Dec. 1, to see if there are any openings. I pray every seat is filled!
