Meet Big Ocean: Marisa Hoover, a Splash of Goodness

January 2020, Meet Big OceanBy Norma HendricksonDecember 27, 20191 Comment

When Marisa Hoover first learned about Big Ocean, she did what she always does:  conducted some research and then jumped in with both feet.

Faith as Motivation for Action

Faith, January 2020By Lisa BjornbergDecember 27, 20191 Comment

The first tenet of Big Ocean Women is “We believe in God and are women of faith.” We don’t, as an organization, have expectations of what faith tradition our members espouse. We only recognize that there is and has historically been a high percentage of women who identify with some faith, and we also find…

In 1923, Alice Paul, who was a crusader for women’s equality and heroically influential in the passage of the 19th Amendment (“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex”), wrote a proposed amendment to the…

This is Your Brain on Prayer

Faith, January 2020By Aleisha ChristensenDecember 27, 2019Leave a comment

As women of faith, prayer is core to our lives. Connecting with our higher power brings us peace and clarity. It enables us to do far more than we thought possible.
