"This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, 'They are my people,' and they will say, 'The LORD is our God.'" Zechariah 13:9 NIV

Many times in life, in ways that are far from our comprehension, God employs trials to purify our hearts and refine our minds. Forged By Fire: Built God Tough is an all-female testament, that illuminates the refining process. These 21 courageous women, have been tried and tested, through virtually unconquerable circumstances, but have emerged POWERFUL, UNRELENTING, REFINED, and are sharing their stories as testimonies to the miraculous power of God.

These stories are from all walks of life, from women of differing backgrounds, races, socioeconomic status, and so forth. But they have one thing in common, their unyielding love for God and His love for them. Come, walk with us through the REFINER'S FIRE and witness how He now presents us as pure gold, radiating His reflection.
