You walked away from a recent victory, mountain top, or benchmark moment of encouragement, but out of the blue, you get knocked down by a cheap shot of the enemy. They call this a 'sucker punch,' and the enemy tried to make you the sucker. When you thought the battle was over and the victory won, he took another shot at you while you weren't looking. And because you were distracted, it was a much greater hit than if you saw it coming.

These are the fighting words you need from a seasoned woman of faith in the arena with you. This is the rally episode to shake the punch, recoup your focus and keep fighting!

For the woman trying to hold her world in her hands: meet every need, exceed every expectation, fulfill every responsibility. She is carrying worry and anxiety with the pressure mounting within her to make all the decisions (and man, it can't just be A decision, it has to be the RIGHT decision). Not just caring for the present circumstances, but thinking ahead to cover all her bases and make up for the ones around her that 'aren't holding their weight.'

So she throws more bags on her shoulders while creating worry bags under her eyes... and she just needs relief from it all.

The truth is that all that weight wasn't intended for her shoulders and certainly wasn't made for her hands. May this episode be a timely release (if not just a ton of good tears) to bring her heart hope in the midst of heaviness and peace in the midst of grief.

After seasons of letting go, we can often feel like we've failed because we had to let it go. Especially as women, we tend to think "well, why couldn’t I have kept it? Why couldn’t I have held onto the marriage or the relationship? Why couldn’t I have made that rhythm or commitment work?  Why could I not have made my schedule work to fit it?"

And with a weight of anxiety and guilt, we believe in letting go we've failed. But when we let things go, it's often because we’ve outgrown it... and that means it's time to grow into what’s next. Maybe you need to hear this: you haven't failed just because you’re growing into the next season. 

A special note: this is the final episode of Season 1. Join me on Wednesday, October 18 for our Season 2 kick off!

If you'd like to submit a "For the One..." title, email me at [email protected]. I'll pray into each one, and you can see if your title + message is featured in the upcoming season!

You have been waking up in your faith. You are stepping out, seeing God work and finally feeling like you've got the wind in your sails. And as a woman woken up and alive that means you carry revival.

In this past season, you may have discounted your leadership or your ability to take part in the Kingdom of God- but this is your invitation to put skin in the game and bring revival everywhere you step foot.

God is on the move in this generation, and He wants YOU to be a part of it. You are a secret revivalist.

This is the power-packed episode to get you charged up for WHO GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO BE.

But this isn't a season to hide anymore or not believe what God says about you. This is your fiery pep talk to call you out of hiding and up to the battle lines!

What does 'getting the wind back in your sails' actually mean to you? Is it going on hyperdrive and doing more for God? Checking off more boxes and cramming more in your calendar? Maybe brushing past pain and grief to keep 'doing' more for Him.

But to get the wind back, our spiritual fires roaring, we need to tend to this first. We must allow God to invade us to the deepest layers of our core. He is inviting us to behold and be held by Him. Ultimately, casting off every lie and pretension distracting us to run boldly back into His arms.

Want to get the wind back in your sails? This is a must-listen.

There are seasonal shifts from time to time, a fresh word for a fresh season. And boy do I feel that weightiness on this episode! As we continue getting the wind back in our sails this summer, there must first be an honest assessment of what we are currently holding onto.

Maybe you've been caught overcommitting, overextending, over-functioning, and now, you are overly exhausted. There couldn't be any space for God to actually give you more in this season because the weight of your current state is far too heavy. So if you've been praying for more of God, this is the episode to get you thinking about a life that is truly and genuinely prepared for what He's about to give you!
