NOW THAT YOU'RE AN AWSA MEMBER...

Here is a list of your membership benefits:

AWSA Connect:


Join us for an evening of worship, inspiration, and small group prayer time. AWSA Connects are held quarterly on Monday or Tuesday nights at 4pm PT/5pm MT/6pm CT/7pm ET. The Zoom link is sent out in the newsletter as well as posted in the email loop and on our Facebook Groups.

In December our AWSA Connect is a fabulous and fun Christmas party!

Leading Hearts:

You can submit articles to our award-winning magazine Leading Hearts. Articles can be submitted for free for any of the digital issues. Leading Hearts print issues are funded by members who submit articles and ads. These issues are for our AWSA Conference and trade shows that members can attend with us.

If you would like to be a Cover Girl (paid) or submit to a print version of the magazine you can reach out to Rebecca at the button below.

Arise Daily:

You now have the opportunity to pitch and be published in our award-winning online devotional blog. Your short bio and information about your latest book will be featured with your accepted writing. Using AWSA’s Arise Daily guidelines, submit devotions to editor Mel Tavares. 

Writing/Media Opportunities:

AWSA has a list of opportunities that have been cultivated for our members. Each opportunity has its own submission guidelines. These include paid and unpaid magazine and online articles, podcasts looking for guests, and other opportunities for members. Access this spreadsheet button to learn about how to connect with the various opportunities. Be sure to follow the instructions for each opportunity you select.

AWSA Newsletter:

Our colorful newsletter contains helpful information, including news, pictures, and upcoming events. See if you spot yourself in a photo after attending one of our activities. This is the place to get all the information about our next events. A schedule of future events is included in each newsletter.

Facebook Lives:

You’ll find insight and encouragement through AWSA’s monthly Facebook and YouTube Lives focusing alternately on Leading Hearts and Arise Daily highlights. Generally held on the third Monday of the month, these bright spots kick off your week well. 

Looking to be inspired?  "Start the Miracle/Prayer Time Live" features AWSA CEO & Founder Linda Evans Shepherd talking and praying with an AWSA member. This live event will remind you of God’s powerful hand in our lives and the wonder of prayer.  Tune in semimonthly on Wednesdays at 9am PT/10am MT/11am CT/12pm ET to hear how God is moving.  Perhaps you too have a story to share. 

Wise Advice on the Loop:

Seeking help, recommendations or input?  You’ll gain valuable feedback and experienced guidance from AWSA’s Christian writers and speakers from AWSA’s member-only email connector.  Post your questions on The Loop to ask advice from your sister members. And, if you choose, you’ll be able to share your feedback as well.  And, The Loop is a great place to share your book release announcements.

Sometimes we need a heart boost and to know someone is coming alongside us in prayer.  Share your request with AW

SA’s incredible prayer warriors who will lift you up to the Lord!
