STOP THE SHRINKING

FREE 5-Day Online Experience • October 6–10, 2026 • 11:00 AM Central • Live on Zoom

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit...” — John 15:5 

Jesus is the Foundation.
Healthy Roots Produce Lasting Fruit.

👑 DAY TWO — REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

What if some of the names you’ve been answering to were never yours? 

Rejected. Invisible. Not enough. Too much. People pleaser. Broken. Fearful. Ashamed.

Some labels describe things we’ve experienced. But they were never our identity.

Together, we’ll begin laying down the names life gave us and return to what our Father says is true: Chosen. Loved. Forgiven. Accepted. Redeemed. His.

And underneath them all: Daughter of the King.

You’ll leave Day Two beginning to believe: I am not what happened to me. I am who God says I am.

🌸 DAY THREE — CREATED TO BLOOM

What if you didn’t have to figure out your entire purpose before you could begin living it? 

We’ll quiet some of the pressure around “finding your purpose.”

You don’t need a five-year plan. You don’t have to identify one enormous calling. And another woman’s bloom is not evidence that you’re behind.

Instead, we’ll begin noticing: What has God placed within me? What season am I actually in? What might He be asking me to faithfully tend in this season?

You bloom from belonging.

You’ll leave Day Three knowing: I can faithfully tend what God has placed in my hands without forcing my season or comparing my garden to hers.

👣 DAY FOUR — TAKE ONE FAITHFUL STEP

What if you didn’t have to become fearless before you could move? 

Fear may still speak. But fear can have a voice without having your vote.

We’ll look gently at some of the things that influence our decisions—fear, comparison, comfort, perfectionism, and past failure—and learn how to distinguish pressure from a faithful response.

You don’t need the entire map. You don’t need tomorrow’s courage today.

And when the step feels enormous? Shrink the step. Not the woman.

You’ll leave Day Four with one question: What is mine to faithfully do with Jesus today?

🌳 DAY FIVE — KEEP BLOOMING

But what happens when the challenge ends...and you catch yourself shrinking again? 

You return.

You don’t shame yourself. You don’t declare that nothing changed. You don’t start the entire journey over.

You learn to NOTICE what is happening, NAME what you’re believing, REPLACE it with what is true, and RESPOND from truth.

Then we’ll look beyond ourselves, because the fruit God grows in your life was never intended to stop with you.

If you shrink again, return again.

You’ll leave Day Five knowing: I can return, keep walking with Jesus, and allow what He grows in me to bless others.

Five days. One beautiful journey. Remain. Remember. Tend. Step. Return.

And through it all...keep walking with Jesus.

WHAT REGISTRATION INCLUDES

When you register for Stop the Shrinking, you’re not simply signing up to watch five teachings. You’re stepping into a Christ-centered journey designed to help you slow down, listen, reflect, and begin practicing what you’re learning.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Beautiful friend, this garden may be for you if...

You love Jesus, but somewhere along the way you started losing sight of the woman God created you to be.

You know God’s truth in your head, but sometimes struggle to live from it in everyday life.

Fear has talked you out of things you once felt excited about.

You’ve become so accustomed to keeping everyone else happy that you’re not always sure what you think, need, want, or sense God asking of you anymore.

You’ve compared your season to another woman’s and quietly wondered, “Why am I not further along?”

You’ve carried names that never came from your Father.

You’ve waited to feel completely confident before taking the next step.

You’ve wondered whether God can still use your story after everything you’ve walked through.

Or maybe nothing is terribly “wrong.” You simply know there is more of Jesus, more freedom, more courage, more joy, and more faithful living available than you’ve been experiencing. 

And something inside you is ready to stop shrinking.

Not to become the loudest woman in the room. Not to prove anything. Not to build an impressive life.

But to become increasingly free to live as the woman God created you to be.

If you’re reading this thinking, “That’s me,” beautiful friend...come into the garden. There’s room for you here.

WHY I CREATED STOP THE SHRINKING

There was a season of my life when I barely recognized the woman in the mirror. 

For years, I had been in an unhealthy relationship that slowly chipped away at my voice, my confidence, and my sense of who I was.

I carried rejection. Fear. Exhaustion.

And somewhere along the way...I began to shrink.

I second-guessed myself. I became quieter. I tried harder. I prayed. I held on. I hoped things would change.

And little by little, I lost sight of the woman God had created me to be.

Then one night, I sat alone in the quiet. My knees were pulled to my chest. My heart was heavy from years of battles very few people could see. 

Through my tears, I whispered a desperate prayer to God.

And in the stillness...I heard four words that would begin changing the direction of my life:

“I made you for more.”

It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic. But something in me knew: This wasn’t the end of my story.

🌱 It Wasn’t an Overnight Transformation 

I didn’t stand up that night suddenly fearless. I didn’t instantly know who I was. I didn’t find my voice and never struggle to use it again. Every decision from that moment forward wasn’t courageous or clear.

I began a journey.

And Jesus began walking me home.

Because God wasn’t simply trying to change my circumstances. He was growing my roots.

Slowly. Patiently. Lovingly.

He began showing me things I had believed that weren’t true. He reminded me who I was in Christ. He taught me that loving others didn’t require abandoning myself. He began restoring my voice. He helped me recognize fear without allowing it to make every decision. 

And step by faithful step...I began coming back to life.

Not becoming somebody new. Becoming more deeply rooted in Jesus and more willing to live as the woman He had created me to be.

🌸 And Then I Began to See the Garden 

I’m a gardener. And somewhere along my own healing journey, I began recognizing that many of the things God had taught me in the garden were also things He was teaching me at the feet of Jesus.

You can’t force a flower to bloom. You can’t pull on the stem to make it grow faster. You can’t shame a seed because you can’t see what’s happening beneath the soil.

You prepare the soil. You water. You protect. You remove the weeds. You give it light. And then...you trust God with the growth.

God grows His daughters with that same beautiful patience.

Intentionally. Season by season. Root before fruit. Relationship before assignment. Faithfulness before multiplication.

Healthy roots produce lasting fruit.

💜 That’s Why I Created This Challenge 

My story isn’t your story.

But if you know what it feels like to make yourself smaller, lose sight of who God created you to be, or wonder whether there could still be more for your life...

I created Stop the Shrinking for you.

Not because I have every answer.

But because I know what it is to begin again.

And I know the One who never stopped tending me.

The Master Gardener never gave up on me.

And He has not given up on you.
