EDITORIAL GUIDELINES
Mission Statement
The primary purpose of SpiritLed Woman is to call women into intimate fellowship with God so He can empower them to fulfill His purpose for their lives.
Editorial Content
The editorial composition of SpiritLed Woman, a bimonthly inspirational digest, crosses all racial, cultural and denominational barriers in the body of Christ and speaks to women everywhere who have a passionate love for God and a desire to know and serve Him in a greater way.
SpiritLed Woman magazine addresses the deeper issues of the Christian walk in a thorough, concise manner. Articles are short in length, but insightful and thought-provoking. Most are contributed by well-established women of God who have proven themselves, over the years, to be extraordinary teachers of the Bible and exemplary models of godly womanhood.
However, each issue will also contain articles submitted by those in ministry who are not as well-known but who are gifted as writers to proclaim God's truth in spiritual and practical terms.
