CHANGE.: Shed What Was Never You to Reveal Who You've Always Been

Here's to the woman who feels trapped. You're the visionary, the leader, the trendsetter, and the pioneer. You're strong, courageous, brave, and bold. You have big dreams, big plans, and big goals. But you're hindered by faulty mindsets and beliefs, triggering pains and regrets, old wounds and scars, useless habits and rituals, and debilitating fear. You place a sacrifice on the altar of change, only to take it back when things get uncomfortable. You step out in faith in the name of change, only to shrink when people start talking about you. You decide to use your voice for good, but then you silence yourself in the face of pressure. Who you are on the outside is trapping who you are on the inside. You're ready to shed away the garment of shame and insecurity that you've worn. You're ready to reveal the confident woman you have always been. You're ready to impact the world through the power of Jesus Christ. You're ready to change. The Life Cycle of Change is comprised of four stages: Stage One: BelongStage Two: ShedStage Three: DevelopStage Four: Change These four stages coincide with the life cycle of a butterfly. A butterfly does not grow from a smaller, child butterfly to a larger, adult butterfly. The insect actually hatches from its egg as a caterpillar. That caterpillar spends its time eating, growing and shedding its skin. When it reaches maturation, that caterpillar enters the pupa stage, where it encases itself in its own protective shell as it develops and transforms, seemingly into a new creature. When it emerges from the chrysalis, the creature is no longer a caterpillar, but is now a dazzling, beaming butterfly. That butterfly is purposed to fly, pollinate flowers, and produce more butterflies. While a butterfly goes through metamorphosis and seemingly becomes a "new creature," let it be known that even while the caterpillar was in egg form, it was always destined to be a butterfly. As you read this book, understand that every stage applies to you. While we all undergo every stage of The Life Cycle of Change at the same time, there is almost always one stage in which our efforts are focused on during a specific time in our lives. You're not meant to remain a caterpillar forever; this system equips you to mature into the next level in your walk with Christ. Apply the tools and truths provided to you in every stage that you find yourself in. The Life Cycle of Change is a framework for the Christian walk that, if implemented across the globe, will bring heaven to earth. If you implement the biblical strategies of growth during each stage of your life, you will see change. You'll emerge into a woman who has the confidence and the character to sustain her calling. The Life Cycle of Change is a duplicatable system that can not only be applied to your life, but also be applied to lives of those you disciple, to the women in your small group, to the children in your home, and so much more. It may take time to do, but it is doable. It requires change, but the change is worth it.
