34: Four ways to become the hero in your own life story
Tuesday Jul 27, 2021
Tuesday Jul 27, 2021
I love watching movies! In the beginning of a movie, you meet a main character who has something that they want to achieve. They spend the whole movie trying to overcome obstacles so they can achieve it. Then just before the movie ends, they usually get what they wanted.
Many times, we end up playing a supporting role in our lives because we spend our time trying to support others.
Today, I will share with you four ways that you can show up in your own life and be the hero of your own life story.

33: You've got gifts, but don't get cocky! Lessons from the story of Samson
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Samson had a call on his life. God gave Samson supernatural strength as long as his hair was never cut.
Unfortunately, Samson’s pride, ego, or Delilah’s incessant nagging caused him to give up the secret to his strength. As a result he became powerless until the day he repented and asked God for one more chance. (Read Judges Chapters 13-16)
God has also given YOU natural and supernatural abilities. In this episode, I ask you a few questions to help you identify your God-given gifts, and to discover what things could leave you powerless.
When you can identify these things, you have a greater chance of walking in victory.

31: You are accepted "as is" and God doesn't consider you a lemon
Tuesday Jul 06, 2021
Tuesday Jul 06, 2021
In this episode, I thought I'd encourage you with a little bit of my personal testimony.
Some things I experienced left me feeling like I had no value, and because of that, I ended up making some less than stellar choices.
But, God showed up and taught me how to have a voice that I didn't have when I was younger.
Now, it's my mission to encourage and inspire others not to live in a place of contempt for themselves. I hope this helps set you free.

29: A man, a whale, and a serving of forgiveness
Tuesday Jun 22, 2021
Tuesday Jun 22, 2021
A couple weeks ago, a man in Massachusetts was swallowed by a whale.
It reminds me of the story of Jonah. God told him to do some thing, so instead of doing that, he went in the other direction and caused all kinds of issues in other people’s lives. When he was finally obedient, he was angry at God for being good and forgiving.
Tune in to hear the story and find out if you and I might have a similar pattern. Also, July 1-31 is the Proverbs Challenge!

A couple days ago, my stepson shared something with me that he heard at a church service. “An apple tree is still an apple tree even when it’s not bearing fruit.”
It made me think about who we all are in the body of Christ.
In this episode, we’re going to look at a few scriptures that will help us embrace who God created us to be. It’s pretty epic!

24: What my ugly shower taught me about being a Christian
Tuesday May 18, 2021
Tuesday May 18, 2021
In this episode, I’ll share about how our home renovations mirror our internal renovations.
It reminds me of how people that don’t know us well see all of the awesome things about us. People close to us see more of the “real” us, the good, the bad, and ugly.
But, sometimes, what we see in ourselves it’s just the ugly because we are the closest to us.
