EP 71: Secret Sister Programs: Challenges, Solutions, and Alternatives

September 13, 2023 • Cyndee Ownbey

Is your secret sister program missing the mark? Let’s talk about the challenges, solutions, and alternatives for secret sister programs so we can truly build community, encourage one another, and grow in Christ together!

I’m continuing the series on hot topics and hot takes today with a hot take on secret sister programs.

Included in this episode:

7 Challenges of a Secret Sister Program
3 Questions to Assess Your Secret Sister Program
Solutions and Alternatives to Secret Sister Programs that Increase Your Reach

I pray today's discussion will encourage you to provide ways for all of your women to love others well.

Quote: The biggest problem with secret sister programs is not everyone completes the program. You may be doing a great job of loving your secret sister, but the woman assigned to you might not. Instead of feeling loved, you’re feeling left out.
