Breaking Chains

In this episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, I’m giving you a sneak peek into our Relationship Mastery course. 

In this segment we break down what it takes to go from transactional relationships—where scorekeeping and competition dominate—to thriving in partnership level relationships operating from a place of abundance and unity. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of “I do this, you do that” dynamics, this episode will show you how to break free from the scoreboard and build a marriage where both partners flourish.

We talk about stepping into a new identity, letting go of scarcity-based thinking, and aligning with God’s design for your relationship. Plus, I share actionable strategies to help you transform your partnership into one of joy, generosity, and shared vision.

Key Takeaways:

• The Problem with Transactional Relationships: Why keeping score leads to division and how it undermines intimacy and growth.
• Stepping into Your God-Given Identity: Embrace the mindset shift from scarcity to abundance and start living as a multiplier in your marriage.
• Keeping Track, Not Score: Focus on personal growth and contributions rather than measuring your partner’s actions.
• The Power of 'Us': Understand the unique dynamic created when two individuals come together in unity and how to nurture that partnership.
• Building a Shared Vision: Practical tools for aligning on goals, strengthening communication, and creating a marriage that thrives.

Notable Quotes:

• “If one of you wins at the expense of the other, you both lose.”
• “We are the only species gifted with the ability to make conscious, intentional decisions. Let’s use that power in our relationships.”
• “God is the God of abundance; lack only exists when we operate outside of His design.”
• “Your relationship is a reflection of your identity. When you shift your identity, your relationship transforms.”
• “From this moment forward, you get to decide the dynamic you create in your marriage.”

In today’s episode of Breaking Chains, Christine dives deep into a timely discussion on emotional and spiritual maturity in the face of personal and societal challenges. With the election results behind us and heightened emotions in the air, this episode offers insights on how we can reclaim our power and stay grounded amid life’s storms. Christine shares a powerful reminder: anything that enslaves us—whether fears, obsessive thoughts, or external events—is robbing us of the peace, joy, and fulfillment available to us right now.

• Reclaiming Authority Over Our Thoughts & Emotions: Christine challenges us to examine where we may have unconsciously handed power to outside influences, from political outcomes to daily stressors.
• Emotional Maturity in Leadership: True leaders manage triggers and resist the bait of reactivity. Christine talks about maintaining composure, communicating respectfully, and not becoming a “hostage” to our triggers.
• Spiritual Maturity as a Foundation: We explore the importance of anchoring our lives in God’s unchanging truth rather than being swayed by every new headline, opinion, or circumstance. Christine draws from biblical wisdom, emphasizing that the battle belongs to the Lord.
• The Call to Be Lighthouses: In turbulent times, we’re called to be steady, unwavering lights. Christine reminds us that spiritual maturity is the ability to stay faithful and grounded, allowing us to influence others powerfully.

• “We are either a host to the Spirit of God or a hostage to the thief that comes to kill, steal, and destroy.”
• “Those who are easily offended are easily manipulated. Don’t give away your authority.”
• “Be courageous and don’t be swayed by the size of the giants in your life. The battle is the Lord’s.”

If you’re ready to break free from the chains of emotional reactivity and step into the freedom of spiritual maturity, tune in now to gain powerful tools for leading in both calm and chaos.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into something that has been heavy on my heart—how we navigate the rising division and chaos we’re all feeling in today’s world. 

With so much tension, uncertainty, and heightened emotion, it can feel like everything is hanging by a thread, whether it’s a political decision or something personal happening in your life. If you’re feeling that weight, this episode is for you.

Today, I want to share what God has been showing me about how we’re called to respond during these stormy times. I’m talking about how to stand strong, stay grounded, and become a lighthouse for others—a source of hope, direction, and safety—when everything around us feels chaotic. This episode is all about stepping into our role as lights in the darkness, especially when division is tearing at the fabric of our families, communities, and even our own hearts.

I’ll also be diving into scripture and sharing a prayer that’s been anchoring me in this season. Let’s talk about how we can avoid getting pulled into the noise and reactivity and instead be the steady, unshakable presence we’re called to be.

Key Takeaways:

1. The Destructive Power of Division: I talk a lot about division because it’s everywhere right now—whether in our personal lives, at work, or even in our country. When we’re divided, we cannot stand. This is why it’s so important for us to come together, not just in agreement but with a unified purpose, grounded in God’s truth.
2. Being a Lighthouse in Dark Times: We are called to be lighthouses—firm, unwavering, and filled with the light of Christ. In this episode, I explore what that looks like and how we can offer hope and stability to others when everything feels uncertain and chaotic.
3. Standing on God’s Truth: When there’s so much noise and misinformation swirling around, we need to stand on the unshakable truth of God’s Word. Scripture cuts through confusion and gives us clarity. I share how the Word has been my anchor and guide in these times.
4. Spiritual Warfare and Self-Discipline: It’s easy to get emotionally hijacked these days, but we’re called to a higher standard. I talk about how to engage in spiritual warfare through prayer, intercession, and self-discipline, guarding our hearts and minds from fear and confusion.
5. Solomon’s Wisdom and a Powerful Prayer: Lastly, I’m sharing a prayer inspired by Solomon’s wisdom, calling us to humble ourselves, seek God’s face, and pray for healing. We can’t fix everything on our own, but we can pray, intercede, and trust that God is working through us.

Quotes:

• “A house divided against itself will not stand.” (Mark 3:25)
• “Be a lighthouse—steadfast, filled with the light of Christ, standing firm in times of darkness.”
• “God’s truth doesn’t need defending; it pierces through the noise and confusion when we ground ourselves in Him.”

If you’ve been feeling the weight of division or uncertainty, tune in to this episode. Let’s talk about how we can stand firm, grounded in our faith, and be a light for others.

How do we differentiate ourselves in a world that pressures us to fit in, and how do we manage the anxiety that comes with it? If you’re feeling called to walk a different path than most, to be bold and stand out when everyone else is following the crowd, this episode is for you.

Robyn’s journey is so powerful. As the creator of the Purpose to Results method, she helps Christian women build solid, purpose-driven businesses without falling into the social media trap. She’s also the author of You, Me, and Anxiety: Take Action Over Anxiety to Enjoy Being You, where she shares her personal battle with anxiety and how faith helped her conquer it. In this conversation, we explore how you can navigate anxiety, build a business rooted in purpose, and align with the vision God has placed on your heart.

Key Takeaways:

• Let Go of Perfectionism: Robyn and I both know the weight of perfectionism—trying to control every outcome only pulls us further from God’s perfect timing. We discuss how to let go, surrender, and trust in His plan.
• Striving vs. Alignment: How do you know if you’re striving or in true alignment with God’s will? It’s about tuning into how you feel. Clarity, peace, and energy are your markers for alignment, while confusion and heaviness might mean you’re off track.
• Faith Over Anxiety: One of the biggest themes of today’s conversation is navigating anxiety through faith. We talk about practical ways to take those anxious thoughts captive and replace them with God’s truth.
• Journaling for Healing: We’re both huge fans of journaling! It’s not just about writing—it’s about partnering with God to process your emotions, release your fears, and make space for His wisdom.
• Building Your Business Differently: Robyn shares her unique approach to business, one that doesn’t rely on social media but instead focuses on building a solid foundation rooted in personal branding and relationship-building.

Notable Quotes:

• “God’s timing is always better than our timing. When we surrender control, we step into His perfect plan.”
• “Are you living as a host to the Spirit or a hostage to the pressures of this world? It’s a daily choice we make.”
• “Journaling is my therapy—it’s how I empty myself so God can fill me with what I need.”

If anxiety has been creeping into your life or if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to fit in, this episode is for you. Tune in and discover how you can lean on God and step boldly into the vision He has for you.

In this episode, I’m joined once again by my husband, Mark, for part three of our series, Unification Leads to Multiplication. We’re deep into the process of merging our lives and businesses on a new level, all under our 2024 word: Supernatural Unification. We’re learning how bringing everything together under one vision, with God at the center, leads to greater success and impact.

Today, we share some behind-the-scenes of what we’re building with The Momentum Company, why unification is so important, and how our work is setting a new standard for leadership in the marketplace.

Key Points Discussed:

• The Power of Merging Life & Business: Mark and I explore why unifying everything—from our marriage to our businesses—has been a game-changer. It’s not just about logistics, it’s about aligning under one vision that’s bigger than us.
• What is The Momentum Company?: We dive into the purpose behind The Momentum Company, a coaching and training company designed to help leaders unify their teams, eliminate friction, and build momentum. It’s about more than just business—it's about creating workplaces where people can truly thrive.
• Agitation vs. Friction: We talk about how agitation and friction play different roles in leadership and life. Agitation can be a powerful tool for growth when used intentionally, while friction is what happens when division and resentment take over in teams.
• The Importance of Resilience: In light of recent events like Hurricane Helen, we reflect on how storms—both literal and metaphorical—are opportunities for leaders to rise up. We share the incredible stories of community leaders stepping up during the aftermath of the storm and what that means for all of us.
• Bringing Heart Back into Business: One of our biggest passions is bringing the heart back into corporate leadership. Leaders have a moral obligation to create environments where their people can thrive—not just survive. We believe that when leaders prioritize the heart of their people, everything else will follow, including growth, innovation, and success.

If you’re a leader or business owner feeling the weight of friction or division in your team, it’s time to unify and build something greater. We invite you to connect with us at The Momentum Company to explore how we can help you create lasting impact through unified leadership.

Thriving Leader Event: February 4-5, 2025, in Nashville. This is a chance for you to experience firsthand the power of unification in leadership. We’re offering free seats for first-time participants, but space is limited! Apply now to join us.

In this episode of Breaking Chains, I (Christine Jewell) sit down with Daniel Leckie, CEO of Hatch for Hunger, a national nonprofit transforming the hunger relief landscape by providing vital animal protein to food banks across the country. We dive into the mission of Hatch for Hunger, their impact, and how they've become a source of reliable nutrition for millions. Daniel shares his journey from corporate America to leading this impactful organization and the faith and courage it took to step into the unknown to serve others.

We discuss how important it is to not only feed the hungry but provide nutritious food that promotes long-term health. We also explore the logistical challenges of getting surplus food to where it’s needed most and how Hatch is disrupting the norms of food drives by focusing on nutrition security. Daniel highlights the importance of building a legacy of generational change, where access to healthy food helps break cycles of poverty and transforms communities.

Key Takeaways:

• Disrupting the System: Why Hatch is focusing on bringing fresh, high-quality protein to food banks and why it’s a game changer for families.
• Generational Change: How Hatch is breaking cycles of food insecurity and poverty by providing healthier food options to the most vulnerable.
• Stewardship of Abundance: There's more than enough food; it's about proper distribution and logistics to ensure it reaches those in need.
• Faith and Purpose: Daniel shares how faith led him and his wife to leave behind successful careers for a higher calling to serve others.

Notable Quotes:

• "We believe in creating a legacy of generational change by ensuring access to nutritious food for all."
• "Stepping into bold leadership means trusting God’s timing and provision, even when the next step is unknown."
• "We don’t have a food scarcity issue. We have an abundance of food; it’s about logistics and stewardship."

In this episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, Mark and I continue our series into the unification process of our business and marriage. Today we are walking you through the 5 Step Process we have undergone and what came up for us at each stage of the game.

We have been walking through a season of radical transparency, growth, and increased trust and humility. Together, we explore the 5 P’s that God has revealed to us as essential steps in his process: Planting, Promise, Preparation, Provision, and Promotion. We discuss how each of these essential steps have shown up in our journey, the challenges we’ve faced, and how leaning in to God’s timing has transformed our marriage, business, and mission.

We have learned how trust, humility, and God’s divine order work together to build something far greater than we could on our own, even when it feels like we are in the 'waiting' for things to come together. As a result we have massively up-leveled our team, sales processes, internal structure and revenue/profitability as a result!

Whether you're navigating a season of partnership or longing to experience deeper trust and unity, this episode will give you a practical and spiritual roadmap for aligning with God’s plans for multiplication.

Key Takeaways:

• Trust & Humility: We open up about how trust and humility have been critical as we’ve merged our businesses and our lives. Full transparency, while uncomfortable, has led to freedom and deeper connection.
• The 5 P’s Framework: God has walked us through these five steps in our journey of unification:

1. Planting – The seed of desire or inspiration God plants in our hearts.
2. Promise – Seeing evidence of God’s promise and vision unfolding.
3. Preparation – The often-challenging process of refining our character, systems, and relationships to be ready for the promise.
4. Provision – Receiving everything we need exactly when we need it.
5. Promotion – Stepping into a new level of responsibility, impact, and influence.

• Refining Fire: We discuss the refining fire that comes with full commitment to the process. It’s not always easy, but the fire purifies and prepares us to handle the blessings and responsibilities that come with God’s promises.
• Kingdom Impact: True unification isn’t just about personal success—it’s about multiplying for Kingdom impact. We talk about how God’s promises in our life have led to greater freedom and the ability to serve others more powerfully.

Notable Quotes:

• "God’s promises are never small—they’re always bigger than what we could imagine. But we have to be prepared to receive them."
• "We don’t just build our own kingdom; we’re building for His Kingdom. And when we unify under God’s vision, that’s when true multiplication happens."
• "The refining fire isn’t meant to destroy you—it’s meant to purify you for the blessings ahead."
• "Promotion isn’t about recognition—it’s about stepping into greater responsibility and influence for the Kingdom."

In this episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, I dive deep into the concept of rest versus wrestling with God in our everyday lives. Are you resting in God's plan or fighting against His timing and control? I explore the difference between these two states and encourage you to move from a place of peace and trust rather than constant striving and anxiety. Whether you're in a season of high demand or feel like you're battling for every next step, this episode will remind you of the power of resting in God's promises and provision.

I also break down three essential types of rest—total, active, and passive—and explain how you can incorporate each into your life to build greater capacity and live in alignment with God’s design. As you learn to rest and trust the process, you'll free yourself from the need to control every detail and open up space for true spiritual, emotional, and physical rejuvenation.

Key Takeaways:

• Rest vs. Wrestling: Are you truly trusting God's timing and plans, or are you struggling to take control? Recognizing whether you're resting or wrestling is the first step to living in peace and avoiding burnout.
• Three Types of Rest:

1. Total Rest – Complete downtime, like sleep or a Sabbath, for full regeneration.
2. Active Rest – Engaging in life-giving activities that reduce the load but still move you forward.
3. Passive Rest – Energizing activities like hobbies that fill you with joy and rejuvenate your soul.

• Resting in the Spirit: True rest comes from trusting God’s provision and being content in the knowledge that He has everything under control. I share powerful scriptural insights about trusting God to go ahead of us in every season.
• Signs of Wrestling: Constant anxiety, frustration, and exhaustion are indicators that you might be wrestling with God’s plans rather than resting in His peace.
• Choosing Rest: It’s a daily choice to trust God’s timing and let go of control. Resting in His promises brings clarity, peace, and strength even in seasons of high demand.

Notable Quotes:

• "Am I resting in God’s promises, or am I wrestling with everything around me?"
• "We can be in high-demand seasons, but still operate from a rested spiritual state. It’s a choice."
• "When I rest in the knowing that God is in control, I release the need to force outcomes and timelines."
• "I can’t multiply without rest—just like nature, we have seasons for growth and seasons for recovery."

Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed? It’s time to shift from wrestling to resting. If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs a reminder to trust in God's process. And if you haven’t already, subscribe to Breaking Chains for more conversations that will empower you to lead fiercely and live courageously.

**********

In this episode of the Breaking Chains podcast, Mark and I kick off a powerful new series on unification—how bringing everything under one God-centered vision and purpose leads to multiplication in every area of life. This is a topic close to our hearts as we share our own journey of merging our personal lives, our businesses, and our mission for greater impact. We get real about the challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons we've learned so far.

Whether you're a couple longing to get on the same page in your marriage or business, or a leader striving for deeper alignment in your relationships, this episode will inspire you to consider what true partnership can unlock. We dive into how we moved from fierce independence to interdependence, and why unification is the key to multiplying focus, resources, and blessings.

Key Takeaways:

• Forming and Storming: Every team must go through a process of forming, storming, and eventually performing. We discuss how this applies to our marriage and business partnership, and how to navigate these phases.
• Unification in God's Design: We are not meant to go it alone. We explore biblical principles around unity and how God calls us to collaborate with our spouse for multiplication, rather than competing or working separately.
• Building Together to Multiply: True unification means bringing everything—talents, time, money, and vision—under one umbrella to simplify and multiply. We discuss how this has transformed our businesses and personal lives.
• Stronger Together: When one of us is weak, the other can be strong. Through partnership, we can carry each other's burdens and unlock greater potential together than we ever could alone.
• Breaking the Lone Wolf Mentality: Shifting from a mindset of fierce independence to one of collaboration and partnership has been a game-changer. We share the powerful freedom that comes from embracing interdependence.

Notable Quotes:

• "It is not good for man to be alone. We're not meant to carry the weight of life by ourselves."
• "True multiplication comes when we unify under one vision—it's not just about working harder, it's about working together in harmony."
• "There’s a difference between building in isolation and building in unity. One leads to burnout, the other to exponential growth."
• "Multiplication isn’t just about adding more—it’s about simplifying to focus on what truly matters."
