About Us
How we got started…
Honestly, we’re still getting started! Even though we began in 2006, this ministry has been a part-time endeavor, a labor of love for God and His people, that we squeeze in around the bazillion responsibilities in a given day. We are a group of women who use the gifts He’s given us to deliver training and encouragement to His children. We got started initially when the training company I was working for part-time (a job I absolutely LOVED, by the way) told me they wanted to hire tutors and baby sitters for my kids so I could manage more trainers and teach more classes. I started sensing that God had different ideas, and that NOW (2006) might be the time to give life to the dream He placed within me fifteen years before, when I started doing training. I wanted to equip His people to “make a greater impact” in their circles of influence. I quit my job and started the ministry.
Daughters of Sarah was started while I began writing our leadership and public speaking training class, The Greater Impact Course. I kept running into marriage materials and sensing God’s leading to write Daughters first. The neat thing is that in doing this, God created within me a desire to “get it right at home,” regardless of what we wanted to do with the ministry. This has helped create a neat environment for our team. We’re a bunch of part-time workers, retired women, stay-at-home-moms, and some of us home school. We always put the needs of the women and their families in our ministry ahead of the needs of the ministry, which has helped us “keep the main thing, the main thing.” As a result, we’ve made decisions with our families in mind first – for example, I only travel to speak 4-6 times a year, as I don’t feel led to trade raising my kids and time with my husband for ministry work. We take a lot of time off in the summer. We also don’t require a lot of meetings, and try to be an encouragement to each other as friends first. This also fits with the Daughters philosophy, as we encourage women to deeply connect with each other and do life together. The Respect Dare evolved out of Daughters of Sarah, and we’re just trying to do the next thing He lays in front of us.
