Lauren’s Monthly Update – October 2021 Shalom – greetings of peace and joy to you! It’s good to see you here. Spring has sprung, you can feel it and the beautiful flowers are blooming. I always begin to feel that tiredness, a yearning for that December break by the time October hits. My August and September have been incredibly busy, and as October is here, I am slightly more focused on taking care of myself and needing to listen to a slower pace. Being present and more meditative in the moments God is keeping me in. My heart is filled with gratitude! I pray you are well, and listening to your body and heart wherever you find yourself. Don’t forget to pop me an email if you would like to order a copy of Yehudit or Bold Bible Girls, I would love for you to get one! Until next time, stay safe and many blessings! Lauren

What I'm About

Speaking Out

I’m outspoken and passionate about the burdens Yeshua has woven in my heart, and I want to always use my voice for hope, truth and change in this generation. This calling is to “go to where the silence is and say something.”

Gender Justice

What if we lived in a world where women and men co – ruled and co – reigned, it’s a dream that was reality, right there in the beginning. My eyes have seen many things, and my heart has become connected with the calling for gender equality. I’m an egalitarian, that’s who I am!

Writer

The pen is a weapon, it has the power to overcome, to heal, to wage war and reveal truth. It’s a weapon of warfare, and we have to wield it well. At the cornerstone of my purpose is a calling to write, it burns inside of me.

New Illustrated Children's Book -By Lauren Jacobs

The architect, the builders and challengers. The persecuted, the traveller, the prophetess and myrrh carrier. The apostle, the visionaries, the activist and the deliverers. Meet them all in the pages of Bold Bible Girls, where Lauren takes you on a journey in to the lives of overlooked Bible girls. With a vision to inspire young girls to see themselves as competent and strong, this book is a blessed gift for the young visionary. Accompanied by a devotional section, this book aims to bring mothers and daughters together, to reflect on the examples and themes in the lives of these Bible girls. This illustrated children's book brings to life the lesser known girls of the Bible, through biblical accuracy and storytelling.
