Episode 64: Health, Habits and Having a Heart for Jesus with Pam Shaw

In this powerful episode, host Cherisse Hixson welcomes mentor, Leadership Maximizer, Entrepreneur, Winning Strategist & Speaker Pamela Waldrop Shaw to discuss the sacred territory of our Identity, Habits, Health, and what it looks like to have a whole hearted surrender to Jesus. Pam shares wisdom gained through decades of developing women, building businesses, and encouraging others to live fully in their God-given potential.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Spiritual Rhythms: Pam emphasizes the importance of daily habits that draw us closer to God, including early morning quiet time, listening prayer, journaling, weekly church fellowship, and working toward understanding the true meaning of Sabbath.
• The Power of Discipline: "When you have discipline in one area, it will bleed over. It will impact another area." Pam explains how establishing discipline in one area makes creating discipline in others much easier.
• Getting It in the Whisper: Pam shares how learning to recognize God's voice in the whisper rather than waiting for Him to shout has transformed her life and decision-making.
• Identity in Christ: "When God is enough, you are enough." Pam discusses the freedom that comes from understanding your true identity in Christ rather than comparing yourself to others.
• Mind-Body-Spirit Connection: Our spiritual, mental, and physical health are all connected. Pam shares practical habits for stewarding our bodies as God's temple, including nutrition, movement, and preparation.

Memorable Quotes:

• "The Lord will delay a certain outcome or reward because either I wasn't ready or the people who were going to be part of that were not ready."
• "Before acting on an emotion or thought, ask yourself: Will this support the life I'm trying to create and the person I want to become?"
• "When he is enough, you are enough."
• "Getting it in the whisper means something different to me now because I've learned how to recognize who that whisper is—the Lord."
• "You cannot change anything until you change something you do every single day."

Practical Application:

• Start your day with intentional quiet time with God before checking phones or devices
• Practice journaling prayers and listening for God's responses
• Prepare the night before by setting out items needed for morning routines
• Respect the hours of your day by "framing" your mornings and evenings
• Make conscious choices about nutrition and movement as stewardship of God's temple
