1. A better understanding of “how” to effectively minister to women based on “how” we think
2. An awareness of the differences of how men think & how women think, so that you can use these differences to your advantage
3. A personal ministry moment where God deposits something in your spirit that provides you with personal insight, releases you, or speaks directly to your struggle
