CWIMA Founder Suellen Roberts
Steps Into New Ministry

by Lisa Burkhardt Worley
After almost two decades as the leader of Christian Women in Media Association (CWIMA) Founder, Suellen Roberts, is transitioning out of her position as president of the Association. Taking over as President Pro Tempore is Sharon Hill, who was previously Senior Vice-President and in charge of membership. CWIMA member Sandra Pate will now handle membership.
Roberts will still be involved in CWIMA but will not be overseeing the day-to-day of the organization. “I am not resigning,” said Roberts, “I am re-firing.” Roberts will now be film making as CEO of 3 Joy Entertainment, Films that Inspire. Roberts believes God is leading her into creating faith-based films full-time. She is also Founder of the non-profit “Heart of Mercy Mission” (HMM) Reflecting God’s Mercy to Abused Women Globally. It is the charitable division of Christian Women in Media Association.
Suellen Roberts founded Christian Women in Media in 2002. The Association connects media professionals through monthly Connect meetings and annual conferences. Roberts based the theme of the organization on Esther 4:14 to remind us that every day, and in every situation we need to be mindful of God’s purpose in our lives—that we were created for “for such a time as this.” Members of Christian Women in Media are grateful for the outstanding leadership and spiritual direction that Suellen Roberts provided.
Roberts is a seasoned media professional with almost two decades of experience in the field of communications. She has a background as a television producer with three nationally syndicated shows and was also a TV station General Manger and Senior Vice-President of a broadcasting corporation. She is known for her national television appearances and her relevance as a keynote and educator.
“Suellen will still be a major part of this Association as a Consultant and Leader of the President’s Club,” said incoming President Pro Tempore, Sharon Hill. “The future is bright as we will continue our monthly Connect events and are planning a Women’s Conference to be held November 1–2, 2022 in Fort Worth, Texas.”

Extend Your Reach with StreamYard |

by Vanessa Gilbert
I've have been using StreamYard for over a year and I love it! Of all the live streaming services out there, StreamYard is my number one choice for my podcast!
StreamYard is browser-based allowing live or recorded streaming on many existing social media platforms. It's inexpensive and has a straight-forward sign up that allows someone on the go to get started.
Here are the steps to help you get started.
Six-digit Code - As soon as you signed up by putting your email, StreamYard will send you a six-digit code to your email which will allow you to proceed to the next step. Once your code is accepted, the website will display a welcome message.
Adding a destination - Depending on the platform you are using, and where your followers are, StreamYard allows users to add a destination to up to six different platforms. These platforms include Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube channel, Periscope and Twitch. Users wanting to use Facebook can choose to live stream to their profile, group, page or both (profile, group and page) To add a destination, click on the platform you are interested in sharing your live broadcast. A user must authorize StreamYard to have access to such a destination
Creating a broadcast - After connecting your preferred destination with StreamYard, the next thing is to create a broadcast. To do so, you will need to navigate to the broadcast tab and click on ‘Create a Broadcast’ button. All your destinations will be listed depending on your package you can choose between 1-8 destinations. Free membership only allows you to stream to one social media platform at a time. Basic plan allows streaming to 3 destinations and professional plan allows you to stream up to 8 platforms @ once. NOTE: There is also a record only function if you do not want to broadcast live.
The broadcast studio - Metaphorically, StreamYard studio is synonymous to any radio or television room where live transmission takes place. The StreamYard virtual studio is equipped with settings that allow users to control live broadcast in various ways. You can add title, create banner, logo and invite guests as well to join you during the broadcast. You can also turn on “comments” and see viewers comments live during your broadcast.
Go LIVE – just click “go live” once all guests have joined the broadcast. And you can click “end” once you are done with your broadcast. Note that StreamYard saves all broadcasts and you can download audio, video, or both afterwards.
Happy Streaming!

What are you hoping for this year? A new beginning? A fresh start in 2022?
I'm personally working on that mindset but last year's challenges are still carrying over no matter what the calendar says. Do you agree?
There's nothing new about stress. But then, each of these psalms ends with Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
God's word is the best stress reliever! It shows us how to relinquish our independent thoughts to our Savior, Jesus Christ. (Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5) Our Lord completely understands and He's sent His Holy Spirit to give us our new HOPE-full year!
Let's make up our minds in 2022 to focus on HOPE. Here's how.
Healing
from past hurts by daily spending quiet time in God's presence, letting Him mend our hearts
· Psalm 62:5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.
Obedience
to learn from God's word and keep regular personal visits with Him through prayer
· Psalm 25:5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Praise
God for how He continues to show His great love for us
· Psalm 52:9 For what you have done I will always praise you...And I will hope in your name
· 1 Peter 1:1 Praise to God for a Living Hope
Expectation
-knowing that God's plan is to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11)
· Psalm 39:7 But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
Intentionally living for a HOPE-full new year is a resolution that we can all embrace! Are you with me?
As we move into 2022, let's keep our hearts and minds open to the Holy Spirit's leading. He will give us everything we need and enable us to be effective witnesses for Christ.
Be strong and take heart, all you who HOPE in the Lord! Psalm 31:24
