About this Event
THE SECOND ANNUAL INTENTIONAL WAIT BRUNCH
Your wait has purpose. Your becoming deserves intention.
One afternoon. Three powerful voices. A room full of women who understand.
Maybe you are tired of hearing “your time is coming.” Maybe it feels like everyone around you is getting engaged while you quietly ask, “God, did I miss it?” Or maybe you have been so busy holding everything together that you forgot to tend your own light.
You are not behind. You are being prepared.
THREE VOICES, ONE AFTERNOON
Coach Ce, your host. She had the dream proposal and the custom ring, everything she thought she wanted. Then God asked her one question. On November 21, she will share what He asked and what it taught her about waiting with intention.
Britney Danielle, special guest co-host. The host of The Waiting Room Podcast joins Coach Ce for a live, filmed IWC TV conversation about healing, purpose, and staying steadfast while you wait on God’s promises.
Kristen Angela, special guest author. Author and Christian speaker Kristen Angela joins Coach Ce for a live author interview on her new book, Kingdom Wife: Becoming Whole in Christ Before Saying “I Do.” As Kristen says, “Wholeness is not a strategy for getting a husband.” Hear her story, meet her at the book table, and take home a signed copy.
WHY THIS ROOM
In Matthew 25, ten women waited for the bridegroom. All ten had lamps, but only five brought oil. What set them apart was not their looks, their timing, or their status. It was what they had tended in private. This afternoon is about your oil: your walk with God, your standards, your discernment, and the sisterhood that keeps you ready.
Last year, an intimate room of women gathered for the first Intentional Wait Brunch, and it started something. This year the room is bigger, the table is fuller, and the conversation is being filmed for IWC TV.
There is room for you here. This is a women-only gathering, and every woman is welcome. That includes women who desire to wait, are thinking about it, or are already waiting, and married women who come to add value to the space. Whether your commitment is new, well established, or something you are still learning to trust God with, come as you are.

In Matthew 25, when the bridegroom came, the wise were ready and the door was shut. Don’t wait until the last minute. You are not simply waiting. You are becoming. Save your seat and come tend your lamp with us.
