“Sue Bidstrup is truly a ray of sunshine! I first met her in 2022 while interviewing speakers for MOMS (Moms of Minis) at Austin Ridge Bible Church in Bee Cave. At the time, she was launching her book, The Great Big Yes, and her talk left an unforgettable impact. Sue shared a heartfelt and compelling message that inspired all 130 moms in attendance. Her grace, love, and Christ-centered leadership resonated so deeply that we invited her back the following year. Getting to know Sue on a personal level has been a true blessing. Her wisdom and life experience, grounded in faith, have guided me in making decisions in both my personal and professional life. I am so grateful our paths crossed—Sue is an inspiring, graceful, and loving leader who brings light and encouragement to everyone she meets.”

    Spiritual Identity…Who am I?

    Sometimes we forget who we are. We get all tangled up in what we do or what people think of us. When we are really low and things aren’t going our way, we may even decide we are not worthy, that maybe good things aren’t meant for us. We can…
