#154// So, Harrison Butker "went and did it" when he shared during his commencement address at Benedictine College that he suspected many women will find their greatest fulfillment in the vocations of marriage and motherhood. And the internet. Went. WILD.

Quite frankly, I find it fascinating that so many people who do not identify as staunch Catholics actually cared about his comments at all. I mean, WHY do we care? Why are we even listening to a commencement address being shared at a traditionally conservative, Catholic college if we don't go there, have kids graduating from there and/or are not Catholic? I believe it's because of the "outrage mentality" and "cancel culture" we've curated into our online platforms over the last decade, and I think this is dangerous on many levels. But primarily it's making folks forget that (a) not everything applies to us, and (b) we don't have to "weigh in" with our personal opinion on things that don't apply to us. But I digress.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I want to unpack this question, "Can Christian Women Be Breadwinners?". Because, in light of this "women's rights whirlwind" that got set off when folks started responding to Butker's statements, we would do well to get into the Bible and see what the Word of God has to say about a woman's role, specifically around working outside the home and bringing in an income. Is God "cool" with a woman working outside the home and "bringing home the bacon?"

Are you ready to unpack some scripture on this and get down to what the Bible has to say about our core role and responsibilities as godly women and what this means to our purpose and positioning in life? We're going there on this episode, so if you're ready to dive in . . . Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#153// You can't beg, borrow or buy more time in this life, but you *can* do things to increase the quality and impact of the years you've been given when you steward your health well.

I became a certified holistic health coach almost a decade ago because I felt the Lord leading me to do so. He spoke two things to me in 2014 that inspired me to embrace my role in helping His people in the area of their health:

First, He reminded me that His Body, the Church, *should* be the healthiest body on the face of the planet, and yet we are not. The statistics around illness and death are no different for those within the Body than they are for the general public. With everything we have available to us -- the blood of Jesus, His stripes that He bore for us, the alive and active Word of God, prayer for healing, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit -- we should be walking in a very different experience when it comes to our health. This fired me up to help God's people to apprehend every good thing He has won for us including vibrant and robust health in this life.

Second, He inspired me with a passion to teach people how to steward their own health in such a way that they'd live long enough and strong enough to do and be all He created them for. I have such a fire on the inside of me to help people pick up their own personal responsibility and sufficiency in Him when it comes to stewarding their health excellently. Zeroing in on the seven pillars of wellness without overwhelm has been a big part of articulating how folks can step into this responsibility and sufficiency powerfully without being constantly plagued with stress and anxiety as they're walking it out.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing the seven pillars of wellness without overwhelm and a little bit about why you really need to embrace an approach of stewarding your own health well right now. It's time to be discipled and apprenticed in the fullness of life, and this includes the area of health and wellness. If you don't have your health, how will you GO for Him, my friend? Are you ready to be empowered in the area of stewarding your health for His glory? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#152// God made man on the sixth day and then He rested. Which means man's first day of existence was a day of rest and reflection. We were designed to do all things from rest first.

I remember having this revelation almost ten years ago when listening to a talk by Graham Cooke -- "If God brought man into the world and then immediately immersed him in rest, why am I continually organizing my life and efforts in such a way that I'm working towards and for rest instead of from it? Why am I doing it backwards?" And if I made the adjustment to approach my work and order Biblically -- from Rest -- would I be less tired and worn out? Would I have less to complain about and experience disappointment around?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a word on rest that I recently released at REVIVE Church of Tampa, my home church. We looked at Genesis 1:23-2:3 and Hebrews 3:7-4:13 so we could have a better grasp and understanding of how real rest is the right place to start any and every endeavor in life. Are you interested to know how that works? Ready to experience less worry, weariness and burnout along the Christian road as you bring the Kingdom with Him? If so, I want you to Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#150 // Compliance only works as long as you're compliant. Willpower is not the fuel that'll get you to breakthrough.

Do you need a different experience when it comes to your finances? Maybe you've done all the programs, followed all the plans, used all the budgeting apps "they" told you to, but you're still feeling like "this isn't it." Do you know deep down that you're meant for more in this life, and being bullied by your bank account and budgeting spreadsheets just isn't the road that'll get you there?

Here's the truth: Snowball strategies, cash envelopes and "we'll load it all in for you and organize it" budgeting apps are not enough to prosper you financially. If you do not trade in faulty mindsets for a Kingdom mindset around money, and if you won't swap out those compliance and duty habits for something with real LIFE in it, you're going to keep getting the same result every single time you stop religiously following "the program." This is the straight up reality of human nature, my friend.

So what can you do to get a different result? How can you experience real breakthrough in your finances and learn to prosper as you steward the resources God has given you?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm going to help you feel safe enough to admit where you really are right now when it comes to your finances, and to actually assess your positioning. Then I'm going to offer you to join me in something that I absolutely know can help you get positioned to prosper in your personal finances. Does this sound like something that could really help you right now? If so, I want you to Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#149// To get a different result, you'll have to DO something different.

But what do you do when you've been trying to do something different for so long and your results still aren't changing? What do you do when you've kind of been playing with the idea of just settling for what you've got currently because it seems practically impossible to get to where you've been trying to go for so long?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're unpacking the anatomy of getting a different result, even if you have gotten the same one over and over again, no matter what you've tried. We'll look at the Biblical perspective first so we've got a firm foundation and then we'll jump into the science behind behavioral changes and neuroplasticity and how to practically change neural pathways so you can live on a different "autopilot" to get a different result consistently. Sounds like something you could use in your life right about now? If your answer is a big ol' YES, then -- Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#148// You know that thought of "I just can't anymore" is a scheme of the enemy, right? That's not your own thought, Sis.

And you've figured out that the unrelenting temptation to fly under the radar, find a place to pull the covers over your head and just be invisible for a bit, that's coming from him, too, yeah?

It's been a long and tough season of the devil working the Daniel 7:25 play on the saints (that's the one where, when he can't kill us or otherwise take us out, he wears us out!), but it's time for us to see it for what it is and to remember who we are, Whose we are and what we're capable of in Christ Jesus. Are you ready to stand up and get your GO back in His name, no matter what?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sounding the alarm for all of us who need to be reminded that we're meant to be a front-footed family of God, a Kingdom people who don't shrink back but, instead, walk by faith and see different outcomes appear, and more-than-conquerors in Christ Jesus who can do #allthethings through Him if we will simply believe and trust and keep going with Him. This is a straight up "Come to Jesus and then run with Him" word, my friend! So, if you're ready to get riled up in the Lord and reminded of what you've been put here to do, if you're ready to get reset, refilled and reminded of your purpose in Him and that it's time to rally, then -- Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!
