Ronne Rock: One Woman Can Change the World

This week on the By His Grace podcast, Misty Phillip welcomes Ronne Rock back to the show for a far-reaching conversation on the value, worth, and role of women.  Ronne recounts stories of women changing the world by living out their purpose and calling based on her new book One Woman Can Change the World: Reclaiming Your God-Designed Influence and Impact Right Where You Are.

One Woman Can Change the World

The heartbeat behind her book is contained in the subtitle, “Reclaiming Your God-designed Influence and Impact Right Where You Are”.This book is for any woman who wants to serve the Lord well as she searches to find purpose in her calling. Learn the story of women from around the globe like Ena from Honduras.She founded NICO to help tutor needy children. A story of a woman who did what she could with what she had. Ronne also shares her personal testimony of stepping into a children’s home in Guatemala, and how it shifted her perspective.

One Woman Can Change the World

Key Take-Aways:

  • In Genesis 1 God created humanity, and it was good. He beautifully designed and created woman.
  • We are the apple of his eye. He calls us beloved.
  • “His purpose is you! It has always been you!”
  • Rest in His love and walk with him.
  • Deep your toe in the water, and if you see the water part, then you did your toe again.
  • God created us to be leaders.
  • If you feel a burden or a passion begin to step in faith and continue to step.
  • Historically women have been strong leaders as judges, prophets, and priests.
  • Women are strong helpers Ezer Kenegdo in the Hebrew standing face to face, side by side our male counterparts to be an advocate for justice, a mouth-piece for redemption, and reflect God’s character in all we do.
  • Created in the image of God we are glorious.
  • Let God speak over you, and fuel the fire within you.
  • Changing the world doesn’t mean fixing it all. Impacting the world around us doesn’t mean we have to solve all the problems.
  • Just love Jesus. Just trust Jesus.

My favorites quotes for this episode:

  • “His purpose is you. It has always been you.”
  • “Serve with grace in a culture that teaches me to hoard it all for myself.”
  • “Not be afraid to use my voice.”
  • “The most powerful thing I have still to this day are the heartfelt on your face before God cries in prayer that, that shatters the principalities and that shatters darkness.”
