Fierce Calling

Have you ever walked through a hard season and wondered if your pain had purpose? Today, we're talking about how God helps us go from pain to purpose by connecting the dots in our stories. We're also talking about going from stuck to unstuck, and what it means to stay on the Potter's wheel.

My guest today is Darlene Larson. She knew that all the pain, abuse, heartbreak, and grief in her story would lead to something more God could use--she just wasn't sure how to connect the dots.

Hear how God helped Darlene connect the dots in her story and how she's helping other women connect theirs. She shares action steps and ways to walk in purpose through God's truth. Her heart is to help women leave lies on the floor, replace them with God's truth, make a shift from stuck to unstuck, and walk fully in their purpose.

I know what she shares will encourage, inspire, and challenge you--so listen in while I have a chat with Darlene Larson.

Favorite Quotes from Standing for God--The American Heritage Girls Story...

"Our Fierce Calling often comes from those inadequate areas of our life...""When you kick God out of a program, you know, secular humanism is right around the corner...""...it's a preparatory moment right now.""We've got to quit complaining about all the things we don't have, and celebrate the things that we do..." --Patti Garibay

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…” Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV). Friend, you have a fierce identity in Christ....

On a shivery January day...

a sweet young mom-to-be experienced her first twinges of labor. Excited and frightened all at once, she entered the hospital with great anticipation of what would be–warm snuggles with her new little one and soft scents of everything baby.

This was her first experience giving birth. She hardly knew what to expect and what she experienced was not what she expected.

She labored for days. Her doctor was MIA, all wrapped up in his own personal crisis. He failed to check on her and five days into her hospital stay, her water broke.

That was the day a quiet, sweet mom got fierce.

She could see the outline of her precious baby lying still within her belly, and it frightened her. She demanded to see the doctor. One emergency c-section later, a scared young mama and a baby in distress were recovering after a harrowing experience.

That baby almost died, but she didn’t.

That baby was me.

Although my birth was traumatic, it was not my true beginning.

Our lives had fierce beginnings that started before we were conceived.

So whether you were planned, unplanned, or abandoned by earthly parents, the God of the universe already predestined your existence before you were formed in the secret place, your mother’s womb.

Your Early Years may have impacted your life, but it does not negate the fact that you have a Fierce Identity in Christ

Whether you felt loved or rejected growing up, you have always been loved and accepted because God planned your existence.

You may have been raised in a loving atmosphere or in a dysfunctional environment. You may have had a wonderful childhood or you may have experienced trauma and abuse.

And whatever our early years looked like, we all experienced some type of pain in one way or another.

Pain is hard to explain but it is never wasted…

What you have been through is part of your journey but those events do not define your identity. Before we can walk in our fierce calling we need to know who we are…

We can mistakenly find our identities in the past, in labels people slap on our foreheads, in untruths we tell ourselves, and in the roles we play, but that is not who we are and that is not the reason we are here.

We may be mothers, aunts, sisters, wives, friends…

But what is the most important thing we all are?

We are all God’s daughters–in Christ, we are all children of God.

We are loved and we are chosen.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:3-6 (NASB)

We were created to know God–to have a relationship with our Creator and for His pleasure. And He knows you and He knows me and we can know Him. We can know Him--not just about Him but really know Him. He is El Roi, the God who sees you.

You May Have Heard this But do You Believe it?

When you feel swallowed up by circumstances and when you feel unloved, unworthy, insignificant, you’re not. You are who God says you are–beloved and worthy through Jesus and His unconditional love and sacrifice.

Do you believe it?

I asked the Lord what He wanted me to tell His girls. As I prayed, I felt deep in my spirit His words which are simple and yet so profound:

Tell them they are loved.

So I will tell you that you are loved by a God who knows you, sees you, and by a God you can know. The one true God.

J. I. Packer put it this way in his book, Knowing God:

“What makes life worthwhile is having a big enough objective, something which catches our imagination and lays hold of our allegiance, and this the Christian has in a way that no other person has. For what higher, more exalted, and more compelling goal can there be than to know God?”

We are in Christ and Christ is in Us

Christ in us is the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27 clearly states this truth. We have a hope in things to come–when God restores all the brokenness and our inheritance is finally realized.

Christ in us is a miraculous mystery revealed. Saved by grace through faith, we are His and He is ours. When we accept and receive Christ into our hearts as our Lord and Savior, Christ is in us.

In Christ, our Father who art in heaven who cannot look upon sin, sees us through His Son. Jesus.

YOU HAVE A FIERCE IDENTITY IN CHRIST.

Now say it and believe it:

I HAVE A FIERCE IDENTITY IN CHRIST.

Call to Action

Allow the Holy Spirit to minister to you this week. Talk with Him and ask Him to show you what you need to see and tell you what you need to know. Seek with an open heart and listen with holy intention.

Do you believe your identity is in Christ?

Yes? That is so good...

And now that we know who we really are, we have work to do so let’s get ready. The world needs your God-given gifts.

Favorite Quotes from How to Make a Difference by Loving & Blessings Others Well...

"...'but tell me honestly, how's it really going?' and the floodgates would open and we'd have this beautiful conversation, and it was as though I had to invite them to join me in saying it's okay to have real struggles...""...our acts of kindness and service toward people is an expression of God's love to another person for a purpose, and that's why the book is titled Love Because, it's love for a reason, love on purpose for a purpose. There's a reason behind showing God's love to other people, and that is because the Bible tells us that is how people will know that we are disciples of Jesus--it's by how we love each other. We can show God to a hurting world by how we love each other..." --Becky Kopitzke

What does it really mean to be beautiful? What defines our worth and value? My guest today is Kristen Clark, co-founder of Girl Defined Ministries. We're talking about the true beauty of God-defined womanhood because we've believed too many lies about what defines us.

Kristen shares the heart journey God led her on in discovering what true beauty really means. Now she and her sister, Bethany, are sharing the God-defined truth about beauty, worth, value, sexuality, purpose, relationships, and more with women of all ages.

The world would have us think we're defined by our appearance, relationships, accomplishments. When we believe that lie, we'll never be satisfied or discover our true purpose.

Hear Kristen's story about being signed to a modeling agency, the heartbreaking season God brought her through, and why she is so passionate about women knowing what truly defines us.

Is there a dream in your heart that you're waiting on God to bring to fruition? Has God given you a vision of a calling but you're not quite sure what it means? God plants those desires in your heart so He can fulfill them someday in the future. Maybe that future is tomorrow, next week, next year, or the next season of your life. And you know what? It's important to mention that it's biblical to be paid for what you do.

My guest today is Katie Hornor, she talks about dreaming in the details and how God gives you dreams, equips you, and provides all you need for these dreams and visions He has given you. We can trust Him to bring those dreams and visions to life and we can trust in His timing. Hear how God walked Katie and her family through and out of a desert time in ministry and into a fruitful time of living out the vision He gave her as a child.

Now God is using Katie to equip others in fulfilling their God-given dreams & visions

Katie's ministry is flourishing and she is helping others see how making money in ministry is biblical. She teaches that in our ministries and businesses, God is the owner and He has chosen us as the CEO.

Listen to the show and learn how God is the owner of your business and you are the CEO

Your work is absolutely valuable and what you earn can be reinvested in Kingdom work. It is okay to be paid for the Kingdom work you do, those dreams and visions God has given you. Then you can give back to Him and reinvest the assets He entrusts to you back into His Kingdom work.

I know what Katie has to share will encourage, inspire, and challenge you so listen in while I have a chat with Katie Hornor.

Porn addiction is an epidemic of epic proportions. The world will tell us it's harmless, normal, and helps spice up a marriage. But those are lies. Porn causes destruction, devastation, and is detrimental to marriages. Is a porn-free marriage possible for those who struggle with this addiction? Yes, there is hope for wives of porn addicts and you can fight for a porn-free marriage.

My guest today is Rosie Makinney, founder of Fight for Love Ministries which helps wives of porn addicts to do just that. She helps women know they are not alone, empowers them with facts and resources, and enables them to effectively fight against porn and to fight for their marriages.

Now her ministry, Fight for Love, is helping women find healing, and hope for a happy and porn-free marriage. There is hope and help for the wives of porn addicts
