Do you realize how much power your words truly carry?

From your name, to the things you say without even thinking... there is power behind the pause. Think before you speak! & choose to speak life!

This SWEET conversation with the Founder of The Cupcake Collection, Mignon Francios,  took a Holy Spirit led turn as we talked about the power our words hold, and the worlds they either create... or destroy!

In this conversation we talk about...
-The significance of your name! It's the word thats spoken over you most
-How we are to do things out of FAITH, not out of fear
-Mignon's new book, "Made From Scratch" (order HERE!)
-The importance of continually seeking the Lord for clarity 
-How to finish well. Many start projects/businesses, but few finish!

I pray this conversation blessed you, friend! It sure hyped me up. I am so grateful Mignon knows THE WORD! Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks, and wow it was so sweet to behold her life breathing words straight from Gods word!

Love ya! 
& I'll see you Friday for EPISODE 100 (yay!!!) as we continue in our PRAYER SERIES!!

The very last word of the Bible isn't, "OHHH ME" it's AMEN. 

Does your amen sound like "AYE-MEN" a little more southern or... "AWE-MEN" a little... daintier, shall we say?! 

No matter what the ending of your prayers sounds like, have you ever taken a deep dive into this word. 

AMEN, SO BE IT. 
When we close our prayers with, "amen" we release them back up to God saying, "not my will, but yours be done. I trust this up to you, Father." 

One of my FAVORITE humans on this side of Heaven, Karen Kingsbury, #1 best-selling Author of Christian Fiction writings, joins us today as we talk about, The Release. AMEN. This is actually something she taught me as she joyfully sees her book release days as a day of offering to the Lord. *cue all the tears* 

In this episode we talk about... 
-3 ways that Mrs. Karen prays and feels close to God 
-The significance of releasing back to God her books,  any project, or prayer up to Heaven 
-The walk of faith & journey of prayer Karen's family experienced in 2022 as they opened, "Karen Kingsbury Productions" 
-Precious stories from the set of, "Someone Like You" 
-What my role of CRAFTY looked like!! 
-Encouragement to the friend who is looking for new ways to dwell in Gods presence 


I pray this episode blesses & encourages you! I always love time with Mrs. K. She is a bright light for Gods Kingdom and her works, from books, to movies, to tv series, to precious time together... impact me deeply. It's an honor and sincere joy to share her with YOU! 

love you!
