What You Missed
Mondays with Diane
As working women, we sometimes face ethical challenges, co-workers or clients interested in more than just business, or even hostile work environments. Diane Paddison shares some of the simple rules she created to practically keep herself safe and accountable in the workplace, as well as the Scripture that guides her to trust God in all circumstances and led her to found 4word five years ago!
Wednesday Interview
Happy 5th Anniversary, 4word! As we celebrate how far we’ve come as an organization and what we’re working toward for the future, 4word founder Diane Paddison joined us on the blog for an incredible interview on what moved her to start serving and empowering professional Christian women across the world. Whether you’re new to 4word or have been walking along with us since the beginning, this interview is a MUST-READ on how the 4word community grew from a dream into a powerful reality!
