I like to look at this as a calling from Father in Heaven, who wants me to use the skills I have to empower others in life too. The idea of helping women to succeed in both work and family life, stems from my own desire for excellence in the intertwining of these 2 fields. The word "NU" in womeNUrock, stands for women in chinese character. A character of steel and grace.

Are You Sharing What Matters Most?
When you think about the people that have had a significant influence on your life, who comes to mind? Among the many Godly people who have invested in me over the years, five key people emerge. I call them my spiritual “Mount Rushmore.”
God has used each of these people to profoundly shape my life in ways that have eternal impact. From them I have learned invaluable lessons – like how to live as a disciple of Christ, how to speak the truth in love, how to grow a servant’s heart and the essence of integrity and follow-through.
Now, don’t get me wrong – they taught me some other less profound (though greatly appreciated) skills like developing my one-on-one basketball game, the importance of humor and where the threshold lies for too much cologne. My point is that these were regular, everyday people and I learned from them because we were in relationship.
So … who are YOU investing in these days?
The fact is that you and I are passing on who we are, what we value and what we possess every day. For some people this is a highly strategic, very intentional game plan that they are fulfilling. For most of us, this may be more of a haphazard, somewhat random highway that we’re on – and divert from occasionally. We’re filled with good intentions and plan to “get serious” about it at some point … in the future.
How would life be different if your “Mount Rushmore” had postponed, delayed or simply not seen the significance of passing on their wisdom, faith and love?
In 2 Timothy 2:2 we discover that passing on what we learn is part of God’s plan to build His kingdom. This is something we’re commanded to do! Now, I don’t know about you, but for me that brings into focus how important it is to be intentional in sharing the things that matter most to God with those we love.
Some of you might find this idea overwhelming or not know where to begin. I’m here to assure you – it’s not as difficult as it may sound. By practically living out your faith in five key areas you’ll unlock one of the most powerful teaching and evangelism tools there is. As you become more intentional about cultivating this in your life, it will naturally emerge in your relationships and build your spiritual legacy.
We’re beginning a new series called Download that’s focused on how to pass on what matters most. We all desire to leave an inheritance of significant value to those around us. This series will give you some practical ways to invest in your spiritual legacy. My prayer for you is that during this series, God would reveal the special individuals he’s placed in your life to benefit from that legacy. Through these relationships, God will change your life and the lives of generations to come.
Keep Pressin’ On,
Chip
