PowHerful
Call for Submissions!
A sovereign woman turns to God, trusts her personal revelation, and stands by it. Rooted in her understanding of her divine nature, she embraces sovereignty not as separation, but as sacred self-authorship and authority—of mind, body, spirit, and story. Her sovereignty does not conflict with her discipleship; it reveals and deepens it. As a follower of Christ, she perceives the holy interconnectedness of all God’s children, labors to build Zion, and exercises her agency to become ever more like her Heavenly Parents, even as she fulfills the measure of her creation.
