How would you like to access more POWER and be effective in everything you do? Power positions, power relationships, and powerful lives may not be what you think. Pastor Nicole Crank shows us how to live a truly powerful life by, first, taking our POSITION. So many times, we think we know what that is. But, the truth may surprise you! Learn the secrets that will propel you into a powerful purpose-filled life!

Do you feel like you’ve MISSED something? Lost something? Had something stolen from you? Have you wasted a great opportunity? When you think you’ve hit ROCK BOTTOM, God has a gift for you. He’s going to give you another chance to GO BACK and pick it up. But, God will only give you as much REVELATION as you seek out.

Do you remember when you were a little kid and you thought you could be Superman, Wonder Woman, an astronaut, a doctor, and a brain surgeon like all in the same week? We thought we could do anything. What shifted that thinking? What made us begin thinking that maybe we weren't enough? I think it's two words: limiting beliefs. Our guest has accomplished some really great things. She was on American Idol and then she toured with Katie Perry for four years singing, and then she topped the Christian charts! But she had to keep herself from getting stuck in some beliefs that were ingrained in her when she was a child. She could have stayed stuck there. She had to open up her mind and allow the opportunity to occur to her that she could do more. Through God, you can do all things. Do you wish you could have childlike faith again? It's possible to remove these barriers and these boundaries because God has more for you in this life.

Confidence is what we get when we step out in FAITH. Not risking failure means there’s no risk for success, either. Don’t allow your pain to block the POTENTIAL that other people see in you. Everyone has confidence issues, from time to time. Knowing what REAL confidence is… helps us know what it ISN’T.

Ever had a work or friend environment where it was hard to be you? My friend, Victoria Jackson, had to work with a little motley crew. People who maybe had some different values than her and may have pressured her a little bit to be like them instead of her being her. How do you deal with people who slither like snakes, give you pressure to be who you're not and ask you to do things that are way outside your comfort zone? Can you even succeed in an environment like that? She was on Saturday Night Live and is going to show us how, with grace and with mercy and with love, you can deal with some tough people and maybe even soften them up on your way to the top. She made it all the way folks. And so can you!

Have you ever had an injury you needed to wrap a bandage around it? The purpose of the bandage is to stop the bleeding. Our heart gets wounded, we get hurt, and we want to keep it from hurting. So we add a little bit more bandage and a little bit more bandage, and then we don't want to take the bandage off because it might stick to the scab of our heart. So we just leave the bandage on and then we get hurt again. And the same cycle keeps happening and we keep wrapping another bandage on and another bandage on to protect ourselves until eventually our bandages become bondages and our whole heart, our whole mind are completely bound with the things that we thought were fixing us. My friend Brenda Epperson Moore is going to tell you her story. She’s a soap opera star, a singer, and writer who faced her own trauma that led her down a path of bondage. She found a way to get free and she’s going to share it with you so you can take your bandages and bondages off and experience freedom!

I just gets so emotional! I mean, when things happen, are you supposed to express it? Are you supposed to just shove it inside? Are you supposed to get angry? Because sometimes I get really mad about what's going on, but you just want to cry and try to hold it in and keep moving forward anyway. Isn't that what we're taught? Right? Suck it up buttercup! Put your emotions on the inside. Be bulletproof on the outside. Never let 'em see you sweat. But did you know your emotions - even your negative emotions - they can be a gift. That is what we're talking about today with my friend, Anthony Skinner. He’s going to walk us through our eight core emotions and I think you will be surprised at what they are. I love when we get to talk about how God and science come together, and today we're going from the pain – and the drain – to the promise. Stick around because I doubt you have heard a conversation like this one.

Confidence is what we get when we step out in FAITH. Not risking failure means there’s no risk for success, either. Don’t allow your pain to block the POTENTIAL that other people see in you.

Did you know back in the day I was a single parent? I get what it’s like to be worried you’re going to jack your kids up. Or maybe how bad you DID! You aren’t alone. Pretty much all moms and dad think that. My friend, movie star, movie producer, and bestselling author, Devon Franklin. is joining me and we're going to talk about growing up. He had a single mom after his dad passed away. And although his mom didn't meet all of his needs as a single mom, she did a better job than she thought she did. And I know you're doing better today than you think you are. Maybe nobody told you that lately. Today, that changes. So I want you to get comfy and settle in for today's show because I know it's going to be just the beginning of the encouragement that you need to keep going, keep growing, and keep investing in the lives of your children and give yourself some grace on the journey. Let's go.
