What is Propel?

Many people are asking what Propel is all about? And it's actually hard to put into words. Is it a women's group? Yes, we are all ladies. Is it a Bible study? Kind of because everything we talk about is grounded in scripture. Do we chat in small groups and have food? Most definitely! Think taco bar :) But these descriptions skim the surface because they don't adequately give the full picture of what happens, what goes on, or what you feel when you leave...........Propel is just MORE!!!

Propel is a community that becomes stronger and stronger over time. 
You never leave the night thinking, "What a complete waste of time!" 
It's worth the 45 minute drive
leaving the dinner on the stove
the laundry undone
the family complaining

It's time for you to recharge
to just be you
to breathe
to be seen!

Propel is friendships 
sharing laughter and tears 
heartache and fears
letting go of the hurts and holding tight to the truths

Propel is being a part of something bigger than yourself
It's watching women transform in front of your eyes
Bursting out of cocoons into beautiful butterflies 
Spreading their wings
some flying for the first time

Propel is encouragement from others that you are enough
That you were created for a purpose to be lived
Have a passion within you waiting to be unleashed
A potential for you to possess, new mountains to climb

Propel is a hug that makes you know you are not alone
That you will always have a tribe, a herd of females
Making a circle around you when you are wounded
Stomping their feet in warning 
against those who would attack

Propel is different
we fight against the norms
Women can get along
cheer each other on
Complete not compete!

Propel is love
It is hope
It is possibilities
It is a home away from home! 

"I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. I’m speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!" 2 Corinthians 6:11-13 (The Message)
