"So grateful for the outstanding AI Tools & Uses class taught by author, speaker, business owner, and media leader Misty Phillip through the Christian Women in Media Media Mastery Academy. This session was not only incredibly practical and insightful, but deeply grounded in faith—reminding us to “pray before we prompt” and keep our focus on truth over technology. Misty brought such wisdom, clarity, and encouragement, equipping us with the latest powerful AI tools and systems while anchoring everything in purpose and calling. I walked away both inspired and empowered—ready to use AI with intention, integrity, and Kingdom impact. Highly recommend!"

"Linda Fields is an experienced, Spirit-led business coach whose deep, methodical and engaging teaching equips professional women with practical tools to strengthen their confidence, elevate their work and expand their Kingdom impact. A worthwhile investment of time and treasure!"

Marion MacKenzie Pyle, Writer, Producer, TV Host, & Actress
"There were many heartfelt moments that God confirmed to me during Linda's presentation. First and foremost, sitting at the counsel's table with our Great Shepherd, Jesus.  Second, don't waste a good fire; look for the lessons and hold on to them. Linda draws you into her story and leaves you ignited with a fire to go deeper in a relationship with God to pursue your purpose."

Vanessa Upkins, My Bible Life | Podcast | Bible Teacher
"Linda Fields was amazing! The steps and the teaching was transforming. Very intimate setting,(even with 15 people on the zoom) like we were before the audience of 1. Taking the moment to go before the Council seat. This part in the training gave me an opportunity to be in the moment and participate during the class. I had question that I needed to ask the Lord about my next steps in an unfamiliar place. Out of my mouth I said, " Lord your servant is listening!" As tears rolled down my face I felt his tangible presence that he was with me!"

Juanita Robinson
"Linda's presentation was stellar, filled with grace and a kiss from the Holy Spirit, reassuring the attendees of God's purpose and promise for our lives, as earthly oracles presisting to echo His word to the world through media."

Karynthia Phillips, Beyond Boundary Consulting
