Sanctuary Book Club | 2026

SAVE THE DATE!

In January 2026, Sanctuary founder Bridgette Tomlin will launch and host a six-week virtual book club featuring Holley Gerth's book, The Powerful Purpose of Introverts. What we've discovered at Sanctuary is that many ministry wives identify as introverts, but are required to function as an extrovert quite frequently for the sake of ministry effectiveness. And often they feel as though they are coming up short.

Research shows the qualities introverts may see as struggles can be their greatest strengths. Introverts don't need to act more like extroverts to thrive, lead, and make a difference. Instead, they need to truly understand who God created them to be so they can avoid pitfalls like insecurity or anxiety and bravely offer their gifts to the world.

In this transformative book, Holley Gerth dives into the brain science behind introversion to help you understand the psychological, relational, and spiritual aspects of being an introvert. She explores how introverts can make meaningful connections, experience quiet confidence, cultivate soul-filling solitude, exercise unexpected influence, and much more.

If you're an introvert, or if you love, lead, or share life with an introvert, you need this empowering, insightful book! So, let's read it together!

The SIX (6) weekly Zoom meetings will be one hour in length, allowing participants the opportunity to discuss what they've learned or found encouraging, plus the accountability to keep reading. Sessions will be held at 7pm CST each Tuesday, beginning January 13, concluding February 24.

BONUS: Author Holley Gerth will be the featured guest of our launching Zoom call on Tuesday, January 13, 7pm CST!

More details in the weeks to come. Stay up to date through Sanctuary's Facebook event listing.
