It Starts Wednesday…

I am really excited… And I can’t wait!  🙂

This week, Wednesday, we begin a new journey together.  And like the original, The Respect Dare book, I shared it with a group of friends before we made it available to everyone.  The difference between now and then?  About 1400 people! 🙂  I am really hoping that you will read this and comment with questions, suggestions, feedback, etc. to help us get it right.  I’m still working through all the footnotes, and am not completely finished with the book, but essentially, I’m blogging a next book.  It’s called The Respect Dare: Foundations for Wives. 

If you haven’t done The Respect Dare for Married Women – don’t worry!  This experience here will help you get ready for that when it is released by Thomas Nelson Publishing in December.  If you have done it already, this will provide you with some extra understanding.  At any rate, we’re excited!

Something else that is new that is happening is our Operations Director, Debbie Hitchcock, will be blogging her experiences with The Respect Dare: for Parents of Tweens, Teens, and Twenty-Somethings!  She’s the creator of Greater Impact’s parenting course, Generations.  At any rate, this fall should be stellar in terms of family relationship growth!

So if you haven’t “subscribed” here at the top left to have this sent to your email in-box, please do – and plan to comment and share and invite friends!  We’ll tag everything so it falls in the “Foundations” category, and all of Debbie’s great parenting info will be over on her blog, which you can also subscribe to – it’s still being set up, so bear with us.  🙂

Plan for it – look for it, once or twice a week, you’ll get an actual chapter of the new info.  And just imagine that you and I (and your girlfriends and mine) are sitting around the table, munching a biscotti and sipping some goooooood coffee… pass the cream? 🙂

Foundations/Respect 101… It’s the ground work that Daughters is based upon.

OH! And if you have friends you want to invite, they can still sign up any time, but know that first chapter has some meat in it… like just a couple of little things (and one of them is super EASY) you can DO this week that will actually start to make a huge impact in your relationships…for the better.

I SO very much love that we are on the journey together!

Love to you,

~Nina

  1. I’m an empty nester and went through the Respect Dare this last year. As I was trying to adjust to a new stage in our life together I needed to be reminded that my role as wife doesn’t really change no matter what stage of life I’m going through. I still needed to be reminded that God needs to be my source of strength not my “oh so mortal” husband. It has been an educational year. Looking forward to the next adventure

    1. Colleen –
      SO excited you are here! Can’t wait to see what God will do!

      Please feel free to share your stories about The Respect Dare as it relates to being an empty nester! 🙂 You can email us at information(at)GreaterImpact.org .

      Love to you,

  3. Let’s get this party started!! 🙂 Not sure I’ll be this chipper in a week but… God IS able I know! Praying for you and your work here Nina, thank you!

    1. Um, Etta, I don’t know how… 🙂 Can I trouble you to put your email in the “subscribe” box up on the left side? 🙂 Wish I were more techy savvy!

  5. I can’t wait to start this new journey! The Respect Dare has changed my view on marriage and taught me that respect and submit are not dirty words! I can’t wait to see what more God can do in me through this! I am feeling led to teach these concepts to unmarried girls so that they can learn these truths before they are married and start things off right instead of 10 years into the marriage like I am….any suggestions? Also I plan to email you my story soon…just felt led to share it with you and allow you to see the impact your ministry has had and is having in my life and marriage. Thanks! Looking forward to Weds!!!!

    1. SO GLAD TO HEAR THIS JEN!!! I can’t wait to hear your story! 🙂 “And the Bride Wore White” is a fabulous book for unmarried girls – combined with “For Young Women Only,” at least until we get “The Respect Dare for Single Girls” written! 🙂 LOVE that God’s put mentoring on your heart!! Feel free to send us stories from your flock! You GO GIRL! 🙂 We always wondered why God had us get a trademark on “The Respect Dare” for a “series of books” and we are seeing that become clear now! 🙂

  7. Nina – I love your book and recommend it to all of my girlfriends. I desperately wanted (at least) one of them to do this blogging journey with me, but I have no takers. This has made me reflect quite a bit and one thing I think would be cool would be a look at implementing the respect principles in your marriage at different points – I went through your book as a 1st anniversary gift to my husband, but many ladies find it later, or in troubled times, or whatever. I think an interesting perspective would be how it affects your marriage where you are at, and when you do it (with or with out kids, years of marriage, careers, divorce and remarriage, etc) Anyways, I am excited to do this and thankful for your work. Many blessings I pray on you. And if you are ever looking for a young wife and mom for anything, please let me know.

    1. That’s a great idea – Maybe a “Respect Dare for Young Moms” (maybe a MOPS version!) or “Empty Nesters” or a “DINKS” version? 🙂 So much to do… but just doing the next thing right now. It’s what He wants, and it will have to be enough for now! 🙂 LOVE it that you are joining us! 🙂
