Moving Forward

In this episode, we wrap up our conversation with Shae Bynes by talking about the recurring role that vulnerability and transparency play in our walk with God, and how, as a Christian woman, you can grow not just your confidence in your relationship with God but also your confidence in God.

Shae Bynes, entrepreneur and author of Grace Over Grind: How Grace Will Take Your Business Where Grinding Can't, leads listeners down a path toward a thriving relationship with God, offering insights into how she has had to prioritize this relationship building in her life and what she has learned is vital to growing as close to God as possible.

In this episode, we wrap up our conversation with Michelle Quinn, Vice President Of Business Development at Constellis, by talking about what female empowerment can look like in the United States and how the negative workplace tendency to pit women against each other in order to stand out as competent and capable is hindering efforts to offer every woman the chance to be positively empowered.

In this month's episodes, Michelle Quinn, Vice President Of Business Development at Constellis, shares her heart for helping those who need the support of others to survive and make their communities a better place for all. In this episode, Michelle dives into what female empowerment should really entail and how you can be an advocate for your own empowerment.

In our last episode, you met Liz Forkin Bohannon with Sseko Designs. Liz followed God's calling in her heart for the women of Uganda and through her tenacity and willingness to ask the hard questions and take the big steps of faith, she has written a story full of the beautiful results of being open and willing to follow after God's plan, no matter how daunting each twist and turn along the way may look.

In this episode, our conversation with Liz wraps up by talking about the idea of prosperity and how to get in the right mindset about what success looks like for your dream. Liz also shares the advice she would give to anyone standing at the starting line of taking their dream or belief and making it their life's destiny.

As you learn how to be unstoppable this year, you will see that planning and strategy are only effective if you put them to use. How do you take that first step of your plan for the year? What does it take to turn that dream or belief you're carrying close to your heart into a tangible destiny?

This month, you'll hear from more about this journey of turning a belief into a destiny from someone very near and dear to the 4word community and someone very familiar with following after a desire: Liz Forkin Bohannon, founder of Sseko Designs, an accomplished speaker, and best-selling author of Beginner's Pluck: Build your life of purpose and impact now. Liz was also named by Forbes Magazine as one of the top 20 public speakers, and Bloomberg Magazine named Liz as one of the top social entrepreneurs to watch.

In the last episode, you met Melissa Peak with Amazon Web Services. You were likely able to very quickly pick up on the fact that Melissa truly wants to see women just like her grow and succeed in their workplaces, but at a healthy pace that brings true joy and fulfillment to them while also honoring God and the path He has laid out for each of us.

In this episode, the conversation concludes by tackling why women take on tasks and responsibilities that we KNOW are not meant for us, and Melissa walks through what a healthy planning and strategy session for your new year goals and plans could look like.

Welcome to Season 4 of Work, Love, Pray! This season will feature inspirational stories and God moments from 4word women who are not afraid to be unstoppable for their Creator. Share in these conversations with women who have come up against obstacles and setbacks and have not only figured out how to overcome those things but have learned to be even stronger and more focused on their end goal of being unstoppable for Christ and the work that He has called us to do for His glory.

To kick off this year's conversations, host Jordan Johnstone spoke with Melissa Peak, Geographic Leader, AMERICAS GEO, Enterprise Skill Transformation at Amazon Web Services. Melissa has more than two decades of experience leading organizations to growth and customer success, while building an engaged workforce. Melissa discusses how the process of planning and strategizing for a brand new year can be a beneficial practice BUT is not without the possibility of running into some roadblocks. And some of those roadblocks might even come from the planner themselves.

After a little hiatus, Work, Love, Pray is returning on Wednesday, January 4, 2023!
