Welcome back to another episode of Let It Shine where we unpack how we continue to pursue growth in mind, body, and spirit. On today’s episode Illuminator Lynley Mandrell and I share various challenges we have faced over the years personally, in marriage, and parenthood. Our experiences include not getting our way, being misunderstood, showing respect to those we feel are undeserving, and not following our feelings! Read that again, NOT following our feelings! 

If you’re new here, Lynley is an Illuminator for Let it Shine and you’ll be hearing more from her over the next several weeks. She is a wife, mom of 4, co-host to The Glass House podcast with her husband Ben, and a dear friend of mine! We love sitting together talking about how we can grow in Christ and be sanctified in him!

This episode tackles hard work, perseverance, trials, honesty, and forgiveness. Character development usually comes from places of pain, but we want to encourage you to continue the journey with faith, perseverance, and integrity. Thank you so much for listening today. Join us on instagram as we continue this discussion about developing our character in Christ!

Summary:

Winging it is the art of doing something with little to no practice or preparation. While winging it can seem fun, spontaneous, and may even make you feel good about yourself in the moment, it inevitably leads to stress, chaos, and pride around what YOU can do and not what the Holy Spirit is doing. On today’s show, I sat down with Lisa Whittle and we talked about winging it versus working for it. Lisa and I dive into the sanctification and growth of trusting a process and doing due diligence in preparing for whatever God has called you to. 

Lisa is the best-selling author of 9 books and several Bible studies, including Jesus Over Everything and The Hard Good.  She is a sought-after Bible teacher for her wit and bold, bottom-line approach. She is the founder of online communities Ministry Strong for ministry leaders and Called Creatives for writers and speakers, and host of the popular Jesus Over Everything podcast. She’s a wife, mom, lover of laughter, good food, and The Bible, and a self-professed feisty work in progress.

When we look at scripture we see the carefully thought-out plans and purposes of God all throughout creation. Through the way He asked Noah to build the ark, Abraham to trust his promise, and David to trust his calling, God shows us that to look more like him is to trust his process and complete the work that is necessary.

Summary: 

If you’re a woman scrolling through instagram, I’m sure you’ve seen it: Self-help quotes, tips, and trips are everywhere! “You’re worth it.” “You deserve it.” “You got this.” It may sound good initially, but is this aligned with living a life following Jesus? On today’s episode we tackle sanctification vs. self-help! Our Season 1 Illuminator, Whitney Capps, joins us in this conversation and get ready, because she is ready to call - us - out! 

Whitney Capps is an author, speaker, and a dear friend of mine! She is married to her husband and together they have four sons and live in the Atlanta area.

We hope this conversation will challenge you in your process of sanctification. Our prayer is that you lean into Jesus and surrender everything, and we mean EVERYTHING, to him!

We have some exciting news to share with you! Chatologie has been an amazing adventure, but over the last year, I believe God has been laying a new kind of show on my heart. I’ve been on a personal journey with all the topics we’ll cover and I can’t wait to have you join in the conversation! Let it Shine is a brand new podcast hosted by me, Angie Elkins, that focuses on sanctification over self-help. This season I’ll be joined by 4 co-hosts, aka Illuminators, as we unpack how we continue to pursue growth in mind, body, and spirit. We invite you to listen and join the conversation!

Today we’re entering into the final week of The Daily Shine and it’s not too late to join us on this journey! We’ve looked through scripture to explore the questions: Who is God? Who are we? What does this all mean for me? And now we look at the question: What is my purpose?

Today’s reading is Matthew 5:14-16

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

We are halfway through The Daily Shine and we want you to join us! We’ve looked through scripture and explored who God is and who we are. This week we’re answering the question: What does this mean for me? 

Today’s reading is Romans 12:1-2

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
