Trending Topic: Why are women in the workplace so important?Main Topic: How do I pray? What does time with God look like? What is Spiritual Growth?This is the last in our core values series and it's all about spiritual growth.Our trending topic this week is about how important it is for businesses to make sure there is flexibility for moms in the workplace. This from Entrepreneur: “86 percent of U.S. women become mothers by age 44, which means that sidelining women who become mothers is a colossal waste of human capital. Yet women drive 85 percent of business and consumer purchasing, putting an average of 90 percent of their income back into their local economies. Given this, it makes good sense to invest in mothers to ensure the continued development of products and services.”Then we dive into the main topic, Spiritual Growth. Specifically, what a walk with God looks like. Many of us have been taught it's all about “talking” or praying, but there is a piece we can often overlook - listening. Time with God is a big part of self-care. Pulling away to pray and listen can fill your mind, body, soul, and spirit and from it comes positive overflow for those around you. Plus we'll share ideas around how to build a spiritual growth plan. We're all about taking ideas and putting them into action.The question from the community this week is, “How do I pray?.” Take a listen and join in the conversation.:20 Trending Topic5:05 Main Topic - Spiritual Growth23:18 Health & Hospitality - Juicing23:47 What Women Want to Know - How do I pray?

Wrapping up the last 3 episodes of our series on our core values. In this episode, we'll touch on emotions.
