Freedom in Arkansas
Courage, Community, and Calling with Miranda Sprague and Joy McIntyre
A Meeting of Many Worlds
The recent Freedom Challenge event in Arkansas was more than just a physical gathering; it was a convergence of different paths, passions, and callings. The hosts and guests expressed how the event managed to unite their past experiences with their current missions in a truly organic way. For many, it felt like "all the worlds they'd been part of" came together in perfect harmony.
Local Roots
Joy McIntyre shared her heartfelt connection to Mena, AR, the place where she was born and raised—and where the event was hosted. Her stories wove in elements of small-town life, a deep love for community, and raising "free-range chicken children" in the natural beauty of Arkansas. It was clear that this land and lifestyle play a big role in the freedom she advocates for.
A Spiritually Grounded Success
The Arkansas event was a spiritual and practical success. The team emphasized how impactful it was—not just for the women who attended but also for the hosts themselves. It brought new levels of connection, trust, and empowerment.
Courage Outside the Comfort Zone
One theme that surfaced repeatedly was stepping out of comfort zones. Whether it was leading, speaking, or simply showing up vulnerably, each woman shared how this experience pushed them in beautiful and sometimes uncomfortable ways. They embraced the unknown, leaned on each other, and found strength in shared purpose.
What’s Next?
Listeners got a sense that this was just the beginning. The synergy and sisterhood built in Arkansas lit a fire that won’t easily burn out. Whether through future events, collaborations, or community outreach, these women are committed to continuing the mission of freedom—together.
Together, we can uncover their brilliance and set them on a pathway to freedom.
