Foundation is a 4-week devotional journal that allows you to build a faith-based foundation, develop a healthy and holy mindset, establish an intentional lifestyle, and redefine your purpose as a child of God. Whether you have a long-time relationship with God or are new to faith, Foundation will encourage you to interact with God and strengthen your faith in a simple and genuine way. The book will guide you in scripture, bible study, real and relatable stories, prompt questions, and challenges that will leave you eager to ignite your most purposeful life with your God-given passions.
In addition to the devotional, the Foundation Leader's Guide is a free resource to accompany the journal for those wishing to lead a Bible Study. It is full of tips and tricks that will aid you in hosting a small group or book club through our Foundation Devotional. There's no right or wrong way to use it - do what works for you and your group! Let this be a tool to help guide you, not a rule book to stick to. https: //ignitebethelight.com/product/foundation-leaders-guide/

Greving, Shelly M.: - Shelly Greving, owner of Emerge Marketing Solutions, is a marketing professional with experience in strategic marketing, community revitalization, brand development and non-traditional marketing and fundraising efforts throughout the state of Iowa and beyond. Shelly launched Emerge in 2016 to achieve her vision of helping revitalize rural Iowa because she recognizes the potential for businesses, communities and organizations to attract new audiences and deliver the products, services and quality of life that Iowa is best known for. However, Shelly quickly realized that success goes beyond marketing and strategic business. Those whom she met that were loving life and living intentionally were those who had a deep faith rooted in the Lord.It was then that Shelly launched Ignite: Be the Light. This program features three faith-based personal development courses because she truly believes that the root of success for any individual, business, community or organization starts with a Foundation rooted in faith, a life filled with purpose, and fueled by a mission to ignite the world.Shelly has been named a 4 under 40 award winner in Ames, graduated from the Iowa ABI Leadership Iowa program, was named an Iowa State University STATEment Maker, has received countless local, state and national awards, and continues to serve in many local and statewide volunteer and leadership capacities. Shelly has helped raised more than $10 million for Iowa organizations, and was recently named Renew Rural Iowa's Entrepreneurial Leader. Most importantly (from her perspective), Shelly continues to serve as the Faith Formation Director at her local church, is the mother of three beautiful children, and a wife to John. But to be quite honest?she's just a farm girl from rural Iowa who is working hard to earn an honest living and living the life she always dreamed of. As one of those 'old millenials' who 'flew the coop' from rural Iowa during the brain drain, she came back with more energy than you can imagine, has established her business, raised her family, and is giving back to numerous communities right here in rural western Iowa. Get ready as Shelly will ignite your life!
