What does “Christ in me” really mean?
Last year I created a group coaching experience called The Dreamer Lab where women with big dreams could come together to build community, find clarity through action, and grow their confidence as they pursue a God-shaped dream.
Today I want you to meet another Dreamer Lab member, Kathy Stoops, who joined in spring 2023. Kathy has been on a transformational journey of discovering her true identity in Christ, learning how God’s Word impacts her everyday life, and figuring out how to recall these truths anytime, anywhere.
IF YOU’VE Wrestled with Not feeling connected to God, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!
As she looks back, she can see now that God has always had His hand on her and has been orchestrating the details all along. As she’s witnessed proof of God’s unconditional love and ever-presence in her life, she’s grown in her passion to communicate those truths with others—specifically through creative endeavors like visual journaling.
Kathy’s story highlights the power of a heart-to-heart connection with God and the transformation that occurs when we live from the heart by the Spirit.
In this episode you’ll learn about:
Discovering your true identity in Christ (and what it’s really all about),
How small action steps can help build your confidence, and
Cultivating an awareness of God’s presence in your everyday life.
COMING UP:
On September 19th at 9:00 am MT / 10:00 am CT
Join the Dreamer Lab Mirror Experience – a free workshop on Zoom – to experience exactly what it’s like to be part of this group of women who are invested in one another’s success and who know deep in their bones what it’s like to step boldly into a God-shaped dream.

MORE ABOUT KATHY:
Kathy believes “It’s a Heart Life” and is passionate about finding and living from the internal home of our heart -- where GOD makes HIS home IN us!! She is obsessed with visual journaling as a way to "mark the spot" of God encounters. She seeks to call forth the possibilities and potential she sees in others and is passionate about sharing the truths that have set her free.
She is the joyful mother of three adult children and “Umma” of two grandsons.
While Kathy greatly misses her husband, who is now stewarding things from heaven, she now lives in Denver … her place of new beginnings … where she is near her children and grandchildren.
