Lilies Among Thorns Society · A Community for Women of Purpose

You Were Made
for More Than This.

"Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the young women."
— Song of Solomon 2:2, NIV

A Skool community for Christian women of purpose who know God has placed something on their lives — a calling, and are ready to walk it out with clarity, alignment, and obedience in their actual season.

You are not stuck because you lack purpose.
You are in process — learning to become the woman who can carry what God placed within you.
That requires more than inspiration. It requires formation.
The foundation of this community
Who this is for

There is a woman who carries something she cannot fully explain.

She has prayed, waited, grown, and stretched. She has said yes to God in rooms where no one was watching. And still — she finds herself in the gap between what she knows and what she lives.

This community was built for her. It was built for you.

Read this slowly. See if it's you.
  • You know you are called — but you can't always find the words to explain what or how.
  • You've had seasons of clarity that gave way to confusion — and you're not sure what changed.
  • You want to grow — not perform. You are done with spaces that make you pretend you have it together.
  • You are looking for women who understand the weight of what God placed on you — without minimizing it or rushing it.
  • You are ready to stop waiting to feel ready — and start learning how to walk in your actual season.
What you'll find inside

This is where growth becomes practical.

Lilies Among Thorns has real structure — a place to process, grow in community, and move forward with intention.

How this community serves you

Three pillars. One purpose.

Everything inside this space is built around three commitments — not as slogans, but as the actual way this community operates every day.

01

Encourage

You are met with truth-filled encouragement that helps you feel seen without being coddled — and challenged without being crushed. There is no performance required here.

02

Empower

You gain language for what is happening in your life so you can move with understanding instead of confusion, second-guessing, or emotional fog. Clarity is the goal.

03

Equip

You receive practical guidance to process your season, respond in alignment, and take grounded steps forward — without overwhelm or pressure to have it all figured out.

The Purpose Journey

Where are you in your journey?

Every woman enters this community at a different stage. The Purpose Journey Assessment helps you find out where you are — so you can come back and go straight to the course built specifically for you.

Stage 01
The Called

You feel it — a stirring you can't quite name. A knowing that you were made for more. You're still working out what it means and how to move.

Stage 02
The Aligned

You moved. You took a step — and now you're learning to walk in alignment without striving, fear, or second-guessing every decision.

Stage 03
The Visionaries

You've been building long enough to know it costs something. Now you're navigating the gap between vision and execution with faith.

Stage 04
The Remnant

You've been through things designed to take you out — and you're still here. You carry hard-won wisdom and a call to pour it out.

Tereciah V. Smithen-Quintana — Founder & Mentor
The Mentor Behind the Community

Led by Someone Still in the Process.

Tereciah V. Smithen-Quintana · Founder & Mentor

Tereciah is not leading from a place of arrival. She is a conduit — a woman who has walked the long road of faithfulness before the breakthrough, who knows what it is to hold God's word tightly in seasons that don't yet reflect it. She teaches from the tension, not from the other side of it.

That is the differentiator here. This is not a community where you sit at the feet of someone who has it all together. This is a space where you grow alongside a mentor who is still becoming — and is willing to say so out loud.
