Signature Topic
Are you—or the women you serve—struggling with feeling unseen, misunderstood, or left out—even in faith communities? For so many women of God, the pain of not fitting in can quietly erode confidence, hope, and their sense of purpose.
Longing to Belong is a transformative experience designed especially for women’s ministries, churches, and Christian organizations. In this uplifting keynote or retreat, Bible teacher Shawna Marie Bryant leads women on a journey through Psalm 139, revealing God’s unshakeable promises of acceptance, value, and belonging.
Shawna knows what it’s like to wrestle with doubt, discouragement, and the ache of feeling left out—even as a woman of faith. Through adversity and seasons of questioning, she clung to the heart-healing truth in God’s Word: we are fully known, fully loved, and never alone. Now, her mission is to equip women everywhere to anchor their identity in God’s promises and find their place in His family.
With a heart that understands how painful life can be, Shawna brings the promises of Psalm 139 to everyday life. Available as a single keynote or multi-session retreat, “Longing to Belong” guides women through Shawna’s signature process to help them:
