This quote from our summer Chicagoland Anchored event captured the heart of the evening so beautifully.

More connection.
More vulnerability.
More laughter.
More feeling seen and understood.
More reminders that none of us are meant to walk through life alone.

Anchored was a night of stories, community, and connection, and we’re so grateful to everyone who showed up and made it what it was.

Sometimes you just have to show up to discover how much more is waiting for you.

WALK FOR HOPE is right around the corner.

Join us on September 19th at Buffalo Trace Prairie and walk one mile for your journey and one mile for hers.

Because none of us walk alone.

On September 19, we’ll walk together, carrying the baton of hope for the women who have walked before us, the women walking beside us, and the women who will come after us.

Your story matters.
Her story matters.

And when we walk together, we carry hope forward.

Come walk with us. Bring your people. Bring your story.

September 19 | Buffalo Trace Prairie | Mahomet, IL

One of the things The Parable Podcast + Speaker reminds us of in this clip from our central Illinois spring event: everyone who walks through our doors is seen, known, and welcomed. 🤍

That’s the heart of The Baton Pass. It’s not just about the events, the stories, or the conversations, it’s about creating a community where you don’t have to wonder if you belong.

You do.

We want you to be part of this community, whether you’ve been with us for years or you’re just finding us for the first time. There’s a place for you here. 🫶

Come as you are. You’re welcome here.

Want to invite a friend to join you for our upcoming Walk For Hope but aren’t exactly sure what to say? We’ve got you covered!

Feel free to use this sample text:

Hey! I’d love for you to join me for The Baton Pass Walk for Hope on September 19 at Buffalo Trace Prairie!

It’ll be a nice morning to walk, connect, and support a great cause. We’ll walk for hope, for our own stories and for the stories of others and there will be some time to connect, enjoy some snacks, and hear a little encouragement along the way. Families and kids are welcome too.

No pressure at all but thought it would be really fun to have you there! Let me know if you would like more info or want the link to register.

Send us a DM if you’d like us to send this to you!

Hope to see you on September 19th!

If you’re in need of a little dose of hope today, check out The Parable Podcast with Danielle Zapchenk. 🤍

Women in our Baton Pass community and beyond have shared stories of faith, struggle, hope, and survival, stories that remind us that we don’t have to walk through hard things alone.

We believe that when you cling to the Lord and surround yourself with faithful friends, your story can become someone else’s survival guide.

That’s why we want these stories to be available whenever and wherever a woman needs them.

Go check out The Parable Podcast and hear some of these stories for yourself. You never know when someone else’s story might be exactly what you need. 🤍

We recognize that back to school can come with a lot of feelings and emotions as we make the transition back into the school year routines. We’ve put together some prayers for the hard days of transition for the parents, teachers and students whatever this new season may hold for you.

There’s something really special about a room full of women who show up ready to listen, share, laugh, and connect as their authentic selves.

That’s what we hope every Baton Pass gathering feels like: a place where you can walk in as you are and leave feeling a little more seen, supported, and connected.

We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make our Chicagoland Anchored event feel so warm and welcoming. 🤍

There is something powerful that happens when one woman chooses to be honest.

Not because our stories are the same, but because they remind us that we’re not alone in carrying hard things.

At The Baton Pass, we believe there is hope in bringing our stories into the light. When women share with authenticity, they create space for others to reflect, heal, and remember that God is present in every season, even the ones we’d rather not walk through.

We’re so grateful for every woman who courageously shares her story. You never know whose life it might encourage. 🤍
