Join Lisa and Laura for our series Unshakable Identity. During these four weeks we look at four different aspects of our identity as women and the corresponding characteristics of our feminine genius. As daughter, it’s sensitivity. As sister, it’s generosity. As bride, it’s receptivity. As mother, it’s maternity. Our goal is that as we explore each of these, we will gain a better understanding of our true identity. Today, Lisa and Laura dive into what it means to be a sister. Being a good sister means we receive others wholly rather than through a narrow perspective. We give of ourselves generously. But what happens when comparison and jealousy creep in? Practically speaking, how do we kick competitiveness to the curb so that we can experience true sisterhood? Grab your sisters, tune in, and find out!
