Mission: Uplift

We’re talking all things rest, rhythms, and renewal this summer here at Mission: Uplift! I’m excited to share today’s incredible conversation with Deanna Mason on Uplifting Rest. 

Deanna Mason is the CEO of Refreshed Moms where she teaches entrepreneurs and leaders how to plan and enjoy spiritual mini-sabbaticals from work – without losing revenue while they rest. Through her podcast, app, courses and mini-sabbatical events, she'll show you how to consistently nurture your faith, enjoy consistent opportunities for rest, and generate consistent revenue. 

In this episode, Deanna shares about her rest journey and also talks about her upcoming Refreshed Moms Spiritual Rest Mini-Sabbatical. I’m thrilled to partner with her for this event as one of the speakers! 

Deanna was kind enough to offer the Mission: Uplift family a coupon code for anyone who registers for the mini-sabbatical between June 10-18. Use the code JENN100 for $100 off your registration (one-time payment or two-time payments). The coupon code expires at 11:59pm on June 18th. If you’re a mom leader or you know a mom leader, I encourage you to spread the word and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity! 

Also, join us live on the Mission: Uplift YouTube channel this Tuesday, June 10th at 7:00pm CST. Deanna and I are getting together for Uplifting Chats to talk some more about spiritual rest. We hope to see you live in the chat! 

Enjoy today's episode! Check out Uplifting Rest with Deanna Mason…

I’ve been on a journey this month focusing on celebration as a spiritual practice. If you follow Mission: Uplift on social media, then you may have come across the #upliftingcelebrationchallenge. Well, celebration is just one of many spiritual practices and the topic of spiritual practices is one that I’m passionate about. So today, I’m chatting about a few spiritual practices and also giving you a heads up of what’s to come over the course of this summer. Lots of great stories and content on the horizon!

But while we’re still in celebration mode, don’t forget to sign up for the virtual Uplifting Celebration experience this Saturday, May 29th at 7:00pm. The event is free but you do need to register so check out this link to sign up.

I’m excited about this weekend and also really excited about this summer.

Today’s episode is a real gift. I have the opportunity to bring you in on a conversation with one of my seminary professors. 

Dr. Lanier Burns is Senior Research Professor of Theological Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He is actively involved in administration in various organizations. He also devotes time to writing, conferences, and pastoral leadership. He has been involved in post-doctoral research at Harvard and Oxford Universities and for over forty years he has served as president of the Asian Christian Academy in India. Dr. Burns spends his spare time with his family and enjoying sports. He and his wife Kathy have four children and 11 grandchildren. 

Dr. Burns is also the author of the book, Pride and Humility at War: A Biblical Perspective and we chat about his journey and story behind the book. While in seminary, I was blessed to have many amazing conversations with Dr. Burns and I’m glad to share one of them with you.

We started off the year with a theme and focus of Uplifting Prayer. On Monday nights in January we had live teaching on prayer on YouTube, which concluded this past week (be sure to check it out!). We’re also sharing weekly podcast episodes with interviews and testimonies on prayer.

This week’s Uplifting Prayer interview is with Elizabeth Ramos.

Elizabeth Ramos is a woman who loves God, her family, her friends, good food and great fellowship. Elizabeth has had the privilege of working in ministry for over 15 years in New York City where she’s had the honor of leading women in prayer and overseeing leaders.

Elizabeth is married to Josue Ramos and has two amazing children, Fredy and Bekah. Elizabeth is currently in a season of transition. She has recently moved to Texas and is excited, nervous and curious to see what God is going to do in and through her life.

Elizabeth has experienced the power of prayer and knows what a gift it is to be able to come before God’s throne confidently with every type of prayer knowing God hears and is moved by them.
