We're celebrating Stacey's New Book Release! Stepping into the Call of Author never felt so good, and it was all made possible through Friendship—the kind that leads you onto the narrow way so that the world opens up to you. This is where the things we've prayed for our whole lives start making sense, and suddenly we know what we were made for. Join us as we take this very special look at Friendship through an excerpt from Chosen: The fire of intimacy with the Lord of the harvest.  

Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Chosen-fire-intimacy-Lord-harvest/dp/B09SL32FJP/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2MEK6E0TF4GEZ&keywords=chosen+stacey+march&qid=1645622687&sprefix=chosen+stacey%2Caps%2C74&sr=8-1

Do you ever have these ridiculous moments in your friendships that you think will stay a joke between the two of you forever and ever and then suddenly you find yourself telling it on a very public platform... like, say, a podcast? 

Ex. Normal-not-so-normal conversation one day:

Tab: I do care for you, Stacey. 

Stacey: (completely, embarrassingly serious) But you never sit on my lap. 

We still don't know why, how, where this came from, but we laughed for ten hours and refer back to it at least once a week when we need a little absurd friendship pick-me-up. 

So, let's just say that after a couple of recent conversations where we both felt unheard, we successfully came back to the table to talk it over, and the result was Stacey got her wish. 

Join us in the lap of friendship this week that shares how we we worked our way through friction by discussing the dividing line of reasonableness and 4 characteristics of true community that build trust. 

Q: What do you get when you put two best friends in a room with a lighter? 

A: A prophetic act to burn man-made labels and replace them with the truth of our God-given design.

Once the smoke cleared, not only could we breathe again, but we could also see more clearly how God is doing this for all of us! Labels can be subtle little things that are spoken over us, sometimes maliciously but often innocently too, so we take them and wear them like badges. The trouble is that we never ask God if they're what HE'S thinking about us. 

We've been on quite the journey the last three weeks that led us here—to dismantling the labels so that we can step into our true identities, not just individually but together, too! So grab a lighter and join us! You'll be glad you did. 

One of the ways you can support Friendship Around the World is to subscribe and leave a review to this podcast. We are so grateful when you do! Each one brings a smile (and sometimes a good laugh or tear!) to us and also helps us reach more women who need this community. We are here to pull each other to a higher place of destiny, purpose, and perfection in Christ, and we don't want anyone to miss out on that!

Think Disney's just for kids? Well, look again... at Encanto! This story follows Mirabel who, despite lacking a "special gift" like everyone else in her family, fights to save her family's home, which is cracking from the inside due to perfectionism, control, an unwillingness to admit that something is wrong, and so many other reasons! 

If Wisdom can scream from the streets like Proverbs says, then it can sure scream from our TV's. And that's exactly what it did as God wrapped up our 2-part series on spiritual gifts with an animated visual so powerful we're still trying to unwrap it. 

Come join us on this episode, where we might have built a spiritual soap box 6 feet high, took our podcast mics to the top, and shouted for the prophets to come down. We'll talk about Bruno! And while we do, we think you'll see yourself in this story too. 

Do you ever feel like there's something missing, like you're not sure how to plug-in or show up, and when you do, maybe you still feel unsatisfied or frustrated? Like something just isn't clicking in?

The second you received salvation, you were given Holy Spirit gifts. They are unique to you and empower you to take your place in the family of God as an active and contributing member of His supernatural Body. When you understand what your gifts are and for what purposes they were given, there is a confidence and boldness that comes upon your life for the sake of those around you. Signs and wonders will follow you. Doors will open for you. And God's power will flow through you. 

Paul said do not be ignorant about them! YOU have supernatural gifts. 

We were so excited about this topic that halfway through the podcast, we realized we needed to make this a two-parter! We couldn't continue the discussion without pausing to let you discover your gifts for yourself... because when you know your power, you also know your position, and that makes all of us stronger!

To discover your gifts, you can try Stacey's method discussed on the podcast, or you can go to Tabatha's favorite tool - a quiz (linked below)! Either way, we're excited to hear what you discover, which will set us up for Part 2 next week with Tabatha's amazing encounter with God and Disney's Encanto. :)

On this special podcast spotlight, I am so excited for you to meet my (Tabatha’s) dear friend Lisa Cowling, as she releases a powerful, right now word from the Lord for the women of God.

On this episode, you will hear about how God connected us supernaturally, and how that connection led me to join a women’s supernatural gathering this week on Zoom, where Lisa shared a powerful word that she will release over us as well.

God is putting women face to face with him and shoulder to shoulder with each other to release Kingdom.

This gathering proved to me that one woman can connect many, so let’s dive right in to hear more!

Okay, let's face it. No one likes to feel weak, walked on, or mistreated. Feeling powerful is a much better way to protect ourselves, right? But God doesn't want us to just feel powerful, He wants us to BE powerful. And that looks a little different than how most Christians go about it. This week God is showing us that the way to TRUE power, where the fruit of the Spirit is bursting from our lives to yield what it's supposed to, is found in this word: Vulnerability. 

That might seem a little odd, and if we're honest, not very exciting and maybe even a little "ummm, no thank you." But hang on. God is leading us to a special place together of unbridled force through surrender that's not weak, passive, or boring. He's showing us that the way to powerful living is through opening our hearts so that heaven opens over us. This might be vulnerability the way you haven't quite heard it talked about before. 

"Always be humble (lowly) and gentle (meek). Be patient (longsuffering) with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love." Ephesians 4:2 NLT

Well, as we so often say around here, God rarely lets us talk about a topic we don't first have to DO. We are Friendship in Motion after all! And this week, God called a big "change of play" through a friend. We were stunned, a little breathless, relieved, scared, excited, and oh so grateful!  

In this season of Quick Turnarounds, we can't be confused when we start walking one way, only to have God call an audible and tell us to turn it around! This is strategy, but if we don't know that, we'll stay stuck in confusion. That's the enemy's inheritance, not ours!  

Turnaround - noun 

1. an abrupt or unexpected change, especially one that results in a more favorable situation. 

2. the process of completing or the time needed to complete a task, especially one involving receiving something, processing it, and sending it out again. 

When God calls an audible, it's our job to listen and respond quickly and courageously, remembering always that it's to keep us safe and move us to a more favorable place! So, get ready to watch God move in Sudden Turnarounds and Audible Plays. Listen in this week to hear about ours!

There might be a way to keep your New Year's Resolutions this year. We know, we know, some of you love this time of year when goals are set, resolutions are made, and words for the new year are optimistically etched into your journals for safe keeping. But if you're like us, maybe you're a terrible goal setter! If so, you are not alone, friend.   

We figured the best way for us to explode into the New Year is to ditch the normal resolutions for some good old-fashioned God-revelation. That's something we can actually keep! 

So join us for this New Year's Eve special episode as we break down some of the top resolutions Flaws style. Let's see what God is saying and help each other tackle this year with a little bit of accountability (but not too much, y'all) and a whole lot of fun! 

What does it mean to be a "prophetic" friendship podcast? What does it mean to be a prophetic people? And why should you even care?!

Well, we'll tell you, friends. There are so many things available to us in the Kingdom as Spirit-filled believers that we aren't accessing because we don't know that we can! Today, we banter (or, as Tabatha likes to say, we "blah-blah") back-and-forth about what it means to be women who hear the voice of God and move in the NOW word of the Lord together under the "palm tree" (Tabatha again) of Friendship. We're very thankful for living imagery around here. 

So, from Blah-Blah's to Palm Trees, May Your Holidays Be Merry, Bright, and Prophetically Accurate!
