GO TO GOD FIRST with Kim Dolan Leto

Do you want to stop missing out on the success you're praying for?

Today I have a guest on the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast. Her name is Angelike Norrie and she is a happily married, work from home mom of three beautiful girls.

As a five time cover model, world renowned martial artist, and top corporate executive, she is no stranger to the spirit of ambition.

The constant chase for more goals and accomplishments often left her feeling empty and with a restless spirit. It wasn't more titles, accolades or fame that motivated her.

Angelike shares advice for those who are struggling to get fit or fear chasing their dreams.

Here's a sample…

Your success doesn't come from a photoshoot, color palette, logo, or a well crafted post, and it doesn't come from being a watered-down version of a mentor. Your next big moment or move is not going to come through someone else's handiwork, it will come from God and your radical obedience to carry out His assignment.

Learn how to get what you've been praying for, press play.

Scriptures and quotes to motivate you from this episode:

If you think success is for others and God hasn't equipped you, let this serve as a reminder:

"For we are God's masterpiece. (handiwork) He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." (Ephesians 2:10)

You're going to have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.

"Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." (Romans 5:3-5)

If you feel guilt about success, don't think you deserve it, or sabotage it, remember this...the victory is His. In our faithfulness, He is producing something beautiful in us.

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast." (1 Peter 5:10)

"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 15:57)

Remember You are Strong. Confident. His.

Today's show is straight from your questions. I often get asked, "What if I have a lot of weight to lose, what if I need to lose 20, 50, 100, or 200 pounds?"

And, here's another one, "How do I break my sugar addiction?"

If these questions are on your heart, today's show has your answer.

My guest, today on the Strong. Confident. His. Podcast is Terea Shields Parker. She is an author, coach, podcaster and speaker. She was once a self-proclaimed sugar addict, who weighed 430 pounds.

Teresa shares her physical journey of extreme weight loss and how God was leading her the whole time.

Join us as we cover:

• How she lost the weight
• Her advice to people who feel desperate to lose weight and think it's hopeless
• One thing you can start doing today
• How she broke her sugar addiction
• How she's managed to keep the weight off for over a decade

Maybe you feel like losing weight or breaking your sugar addiction is hopeless, but friend it's not. Make sure to listen to this episode and keep these scriptures in your heart:

He is with you: I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. – Psalm 32:8

It' s not impossible: Jesus replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God." – Luke 18:27

Remember His Grace in our weaknesses is powerful, it's how we keep getting back up. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. – 2 Corinthians 12:9

You are not alone in your weight loss or your sugar addiction. With God, you can beat it!

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted." Hebrews 12:1-3

Dear God,

Help me lay aside everything that weighs me down and help me live with endurance this life you died to give me. Lord, in this moment, I fix my eyes on Jesus and remember to fan the flame of motivation in me, knowing that I may not always feel like it. Bring to mind the reason I started this journey. Help me see the purpose behind your plan. Provide me with the necessary grace to accomplish my goals. Keep me set on my path to find strength for the next step and discover the faith to keep trying. I pause in this moment with you and hope to be revitalized. In you, I can finish strong!

In Jesus' name, amen.
