The Nativity of John the Baptist not only paves the way for the Savior's arrival. It is also a beautiful example of valiant sisterhood.

Advent is the perfect time to not only prepare our hearts for Jesus but also to find a small group where our faith can be supported.

Each week in the Blessed Is She Member Community, join us for The Weekly Visit, a short live gathering about Scripture, reflection, prayer, and presence. We hope to see you Tuesdays at 1pm ET.

This December, join us for a special Advent gathering, where we will pray together and celebrate our sisterhood.

After three years of prayer, tears, and wrestling with God, The Well was the last piece of the puzzle before becoming Catholic.

So much has changed over ten years . . . and yet so much has remained the same. Jenna Guizar, founder of Blessed Is She, reflects on the minitry's ten year anniversary.

Hey, friend. We see you. It can be difficult to cope with this time of uncertainty from a place of isolation. The good news? You're not alone.

Hi ladies! I'm so thrilled to share we are starting a new feature in our Facebook groups called SOULSISTERS! Okay, that's just me shouting because I'm so excited about it. Soul Sisters is the real name and I'm here today to tell you what it's all about. Soul Sisters will be a weekly Facebook live with one of you. Yes, you. Yes, the sisters in our community. I'll tell you how to get on live with me so we can chat for up to ten minutes about how you're finding and building up sisterhood where you are in life. We'll walk through a few questions that I'll send over but really it's a conversation of the hearts. I want to talk with the college student, the new wife, the career woman, the mother at home, the empty-nester, the prayer warriors, the wanderers, the dreamers, the doers. So, all of you. We have so much to learn from each other. I'll be rotating through the regional Facebook groups once a week (join yours!). So keep an eye out for my post announcing what time we'll be live in your region. And keep an eye on your message inbox as I may be reaching out to you. We'll kick off with the Midwest group because I'm here in Saint Paul. And yes, we have a special guest the first week: Laura Kelly Fanucci, a Blessed is She writer, and MC of the Minnesota Wild Retreat! And one of my absolute favorite people on the planet. See you Midwesterners live on Monday morning around 9:30 am. To building sisterhood and learning from each other! Nell, your managing editor
