Positioned to Prosper with Erica Pyle

#137// But seriously . . . why are we always those people who think we need to figure it out, clean it up, get it done all on our own?

When I was little, I marveled at how my mom could do a full grocery shop for a family of five and then come home and grab every single bag out of the car, at once, and carry it into the house . . . in one trip! I aspired to be like her.

It wasn't until I was in my twenties and did her little "grocery grab" trick in front of her that I found out the real reason for her "do it all on my own" approach -- her requests for help were minimized or ignored for so long that she finally stopped asking for it. She learned to carry heavy things all by herself in one trip because she knew she was going to have to do it alone anyway, so she might as well make it quick. Are you crying right now, too?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're getting into the reasons for why we insist on doing hard and heavy things alone, even though we're not designed for it. There are some lies and fears we need to exchange for truth today, my friend! If you're ready to make the exchange and get back to the kind of "let's go together" lifestyle He created us for, go grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#136// Are your efforts to reconcile in a relationship -- with God or with another person -- seemingly not working? It might be that you're missing one of these three Rs.

I've been on a journey with the Lord the last three years to truly understand what it means to be a "minister of reconciliation." (2 Corinthians 5:18) What I have found is that, despite our best intentions and/or our most devoted efforts, we can fail to reconcile our heart to God or to another person because we're failing to truly action one or more of three specific sanctification steps that lead to real reconciliation.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm revealing what the three steps to true reconciliation are, and how to do them authentically so they lead to real heart reconnection. Are you ready to learn how to stop going around the same mountain of misunderstanding and argument and get to real reconciliation? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

JOIN US FOR GIRLS NIGHT OUT AND LET'S GO TOGETHER!  I know that life can sometimes feel like a solo journey, but God didn’t design us to go it alone. We were made to go side by side, supporting and encouraging one another along the way. That's why we're coming together, united in faith, to explore the beautiful strength that lies in our togetherness in Christ. Let's connect on Monday, August 14th at 7pm ET! Just hop over to revivewomen.org/GNOInfo for all the details and to RSVP . . . and invite your girlfriends, sisters, and neighbors, too. Let's GO Together!

#134// Do you know you could be dreaming bigger?

Recently while scrolling social media, I saw a post sharing this thought: "Sarah wanted a baby. God wanted to birth a nation." It got me thinking, and asking the Lord --

• Why do we dream so small most of the time?
• What does this habit of dreaming small do to the quality of our lives?
• How can we become the Big Dreamer God designed us to be so we can see the fullness of His promise and blessing manifest in our lives and into the earth?

On this quick episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing what I felt the Lord speaking to my heart as answers to these questions. Would you like to dream bigger without fear or limitation? Are you ready to have more impact as you receive the "big picture" God is wanting to show you? If so, Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#133// Who doesn't love seeing acceleration in their life?

Human beings seem to be wired to "just get there already." But the cadence of the Kingdom of God is actually in the NOW. God, and everything He brings with Him, is always right on time (see Isaiah 60:22). So why is it that we're so enamoured with the idea of jamming on the gas pedal and getting to the finish line?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing 3 Kingdom principles that will help you to be able to see acceleration from a Kingdom perspective, and to step into acceleration appropriately in any area of your life. Are you ready to jump in? Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#132//  How do you pivot while not losing the "plot" on your life?

What do you do when the Lord calls an "audible" right in the middle of what feels like a crucial part of the "game" of life? For some of us, our minds can go immediately to the thought, "Did I do something wrong?". But what if these audibles are meant to simply help us stay flexible on the road of our purpose? What if the pivots, reframing and course adjustments aren't so much about us getting our purpose wrong, but more about realizing that the surroundings, weather and atmosphere can shift and change even as our purpose remains constant?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a bit about my own reframing process over the last six months, and how it's affected this podcast and the business that I've been building for the last eight years. I felt the Lord nudging me to share this story with you because it truly can benefit anyone who finds themselves in a season of pivot and reframing who's fearing "losing" their purpose. He doesn't want you to give up on your purpose or think that it's changed. It hasn't! Maybe just the neighborhood you're going through or the weather that's passing through has. And that's okay!

So, are you ready to learn how to reframe an area of your life without losing your purpose, friend? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#131// Are you an "undercover" control freak?

C'mon! Be honest . . . Are you a Christian who knows control ain't "cute," but you just can't seem to stop? Maybe you've made major strides with releasing control and can say, "Well, I used to be really bad, but now it's just a little bit." But is that little bit of controlling you're allowing still causing a major drain in your life? Would you like to break free from the compulsion of feeling like you've got to be in charge of #allthethings and have more peace in your everyday?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're getting into the hypervigilant nightmare that is control addiction. I used to be a major control freak (not even going to try to justify it), but God truly helped me to walk out of the compulsion of it all to see what was really driving it and what I needed to do to get realigned with Him so I could access peace and freedom in all its fullness. Are you ready to know what the Bible says about "good" and "bad" control? Would you like to know how to determine whether you're addicted to "bad" control or what you can do to stand steadfast in the Bible-approved kind of control? And would you like to learn how to get free and stay free of unhealthy control for the long haul? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#130// What do you do when it doesn't look like what God said?

We've all been there. We hear the Lord speak to our heart, we craft the vision board, we support the promise with scripture. And then . . . we wait.

Let me ask you, how well do you wait? Does doubt creep in? How about disappointment?

What do you do when you begin to believe that there's NO way that what God said could come to pass, or when you're completely gutted with the belief that it's just taking too long? How do you get back to faith in what God has said?

I'm sharing the two things you must do when it's not looking like what God said, so you can stay on the path to seeing the promise come to pass. If you're ready, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#128// Be honest . . . Do you feel overwhelmed a lot of the time?

I had a good pray and a think before I titled this episode. I knew it would seem like I was making an assumption, and we all know what happens when we assume, right? 😉 But here's something I know about the women I connect with and serve based on hundreds of conversations and message exchanges --

We're all dealing with overwhelm. We just are. And the worst part is, we're putting on a face and soldiering through it, day in and day out. We're not admitting it, we're not calling it out, and most of the time we feel powerless to make it go away.

I was done with letting the "elephant" continue to hold court in our virtual living room, so I recorded a podcast episode to call him right out. Want to take a listen? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!
