What’s holding you back from living out your identity as a woman of God?

Many of us as women feel conflicted about Jesus’s calling on our lives because a woman trying to love God beyond her heart and soul, with her mind and strength, can be thought of as crossing some line or unspoken boundary.

Bible teacher Kat Armstrong challenges us to ask, “Why am I allowing limitations on my pursuit of Jesus’s calling?”

In No More Holding Back, Armstrong debunks five common myths about women:

Women Can’t Be Trusted to Learn and LeadI Don’t Have a Lot to OfferMy Greatest Joy Is Marriage and Highest Calling Is Motherhood Chapter I Am Too Much to HandleLeading Ladies Don’t Fit in Supporting Roles

No More Holding Back invites us to discover the joy and freedom of being all in for Jesus.

Women Shouldn’t Hold Back From Loving God With Their All

In a day when our church culture has limited the terms of Jesus’ command to the perceived strengths of each gender, a woman trying to love the Lord beyond her heart and soul, with her strength and mind, can be thought of as crossing some line or unspoken boundary. But that is not what Scripture says.

Kat Armstrong offers her thoughts on this important subject in an effort to help women find their answers to the question, “What am I doing here?” Perhaps more clearly, “Why am I allowing limitations on my pursuit of Jesus’ calling?”—not just as single, career-driven women or as wives and moms but as Christ followers focused on living their lives to love and serve God as their first and highest calling.

“Kat is one of my most favorite Bible teachers and I’ve been supporting her work through Polished for years. She inspires me every time I hear her speak and finally, we have her grace-filled teaching in a book! Every woman needs her words, especially at such a time like this. I know you will just love No More Holding Back and fall more in love with Kat and the Bible through this book.”

“With wit and candor and a responsible use of Scripture, Kat Armstrong makes a winsome case for women in ministry.”

– Scot McKnight, Rev. Canon Dr. Scot McKnight, Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary

“Kat is a brilliant Bible teacher and a ferocious cheerleader for women. I underlined so much of my book, and said out loud “you go girl” more times than I can count! This book will challenge you, encourage you, and inspire you to do all the great things that God has prepared in advance for you to do!”
