TRAUMA! It’s real and we’ve all experienced some level of it. I've got my friend, Cherie Rickard with me She's so unassuming and sweet and amazing. And when you meet her, she seems so vibrant and confident and amazing. You'd never know that she got a phone call one day that completely changed her life. It tried to slay her. It tried to take her out. But those are the places where our faith is tried. And here's the crazy thing. We believe we’re faith-filled people, right? But we don't really know until we get pinched or twisted or something goes wrong. Because faith isn't just walking through everyday life, and faith isn't just believing in God. Faith is believing that God is who He is and that he can get us through anything when everything looks wrong. So you might be thinking, oh, that's me. Everything looks wrong right now or I just got news or I just got a text or… Okay. First of all, stop. Take a deep breath. Know that God has intersected with you. Right now, you are in the right place at the right time to get the right information. We're going to take you from the pain to the promise in a real, raw and organic way. Let’s go!

Join us for this episode because we're going to show you how to slay the giants in your life to get the future God's has for you.

Christmas can be the hardest time of the year for a lot of people. Life is changing. A transition is happening.

My friend, Christy Wright, worked with Dave Ramsey for over 12 years. She flew all over America speaking in corporate environments. She's kind of a big deal.

Well, actually, I have a friend who's going to join me today, and we're going to talk really candidly about divorce because she walked through a really tough situation, a really bad divorce.

I know you might not think it's possible, but we're going to help you get there today and we're going to talk about how to be even better after divorce. Are you ready? Let's go.

Transition is hard!!! We transition from apartment to house, place to place, job to job, relationship to relationship from time to time through traffic. I mean, transition is just everywhere. Have you ever been in the middle of something? God sees you in the middle. He has a plan, and even though you can't see it, He saw it before you were even born. So don't sweat it, okay? You're going to be okay. You're not where you want to be. But we're not where we used to be. Our footsteps are ordered by the Lord, so just keep stepping. He's going to guide you to exactly where you're supposed to be. Are you ready? We're taking you through the pain to the promise in a real, raw and organic way with my friend, Delynn Rizzo this week.

Do you feel like you're on the verge of losing your relationship with your child? Maybe they've already walked away and they're out doing who knows what you are the one out doing who knows what with God knows who. And that's okay. I've been you. I'm not here to tell you that parenting is hard forever. Parenting is the most rewarding thing you will ever do. It is the hardest thing you will ever do. The second hardest thing is being a kid, right? I want to let you know that you're going to make it through this. I'm having a conversation today with my friend, Farrah Taylor. Her daughter, Alex, is gorgeous. Stunning. Beautiful! For some reason, she walked away from everything her parents had taught her, and her parents had to watch her walk through some really dark days, some depression, some drugs, and some abusive relationships. How do you navigate those kinds of waters with your children? How do you ever get back if you're one of those kids? That's what we're going to talk about today. Are you ready? Let's go.

In one second God can shift you from waiting on it to living in it. I know there's so many moments you want in life that you're waiting for, right? But it seems like everybody else is getting what you want. It feels like everybody else is getting married and you're still single. Everybody else is having babies and you're still trying. Everybody else is getting promoted and you're being overlooked. Everybody else is getting likes and comments and social status on social media. When is it your turn? I have my friends with me today, Joe L Barnes. He's a Grammy winner. He's from Mav City. He's written all the songs and it seems like it just came quickly. It just came easy. Right place, right time. Right? No, he was actually living with some friends, and they were getting the opportunities. They were getting the song rights. They were getting invited on albums, they were getting on tours. And he was waiting. But it was so worth the wait. I believe God connected us today because He's wanting you to know it's worth the wait. Are you ready? Let's go.

Nobody believes what you say more than you do. And out of every voice in the world, the voice you believe the most is yours. We can't make everybody happy. But the problem isn’t with the people who hate us. It’s when we just don't like ourselves - when we don't think we're good enough, cute enough, smart enough, old enough, young enough, talented enough. So why don't you like you? Today, I'm bringing on a guest that is amazing. This woman owns two Christian radio stations. She's a morning show host. She has over 500,000 people listen to her every day. You would think this girl would have incredible confidence. But instead, my friend, Sandi Brown, wrote an entire book about how she didn't like herself. But you know what? I love that she didn't stay in that place. But she found a way out. And we're going to lead you out of that place today. Let’s go!

When the dream gets hard, are we going to give up or RISE up? Pastor Nicole teaches us what to do when the dream gets tough. God doesn’t want us to quit on our dreams. He wants us to THANK Him in the circumstances we don’t like. God is already ahead of the trouble in front of us. We don’t realize it, but we weren’t inconvenienced; He REPOSITIONED us. Don’t give up on the dream. Trust God and dream A MILLION DREAMS.
