September 21, 2021 Ep 90 | Why I Quit Facebook // How to Be Intentional on Social Media
I have a love/hate relationship with social media. It can be a great place to connect, ask questions, and network, but it can also be a place of shaming, comparison, and bullying. Our minds are so important to protect. God says to fix our eyes on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy.
Do you find yourself scrolling mindlessly or engaging in online arguments that aren’t beneficial? Maybe it’s time to detox your mind when it comes to social media. Detoxing the mind is as important as building your muscles and detoxing your body. I'm ready to disengage and focus on what is lovely, how about you?
In this short chat, I’m going to share some negatives to social media and why we need to be careful with what we engage in, but I’m also going to share three ways to use social media effectively. It’s not going away anytime soon, and, for many of us, the benefits of using it far outweigh the cons of not.
But, how do we ensure that we don’t let our minds go down rabbit trails or let our emotions get the best of us as we scroll? That’s what we’ll talk about today.

When she's not working diligently to help her community, Lia is an outspoken critical race theory opponent and activist with a passion for preserving civil discourse and diversity of thought.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR:
Why Lia decided to speak up to the school board about the issues she has with the current system.
What life has been like raising bi-racial kids with the critical race narrative schools are trying to promote.

September 15, 2021 Do I Need to Get Involved in My School Board - Ways to Have a Voice in the Community
Thad Riley, who just finished his term on a New Hampshire school board, is with me today talking about many of the issues he faced while serving his term (he’ll leave us with some encouragement). It is important for us to be a voice for our kids and the next generation.
After serving over a decade in retail management with tech companies, in July of 2015, Thad Riley became a stay-at-home dad. In 2017 he ran for and won a Seat on his town's school board in New Hampshire, and his term ended this past March. He also finished his term as the Chair of the Republicans in his town.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR:
Issues members of the school board have faced over the past few years and why elections for the school board matter
How parents can get involved even if they don’t have the capacity to serve on the board (he actually breaks this down into how we can make it about a 3-hour commitment per year)
Where to find the resources to know what is being talked about and voted on in the school board meetings

September 14, 2021Ep 89 | Trade the Lies for the Truth // Thursday Tidbits
On today’s Thursday Tidbit we’re talking about trading the lies for the truth. This is a powerful lesson to learn, and it’s a practice we need to incorporate daily. In January we talked about the truth that you can control your thoughts, and I walked you through some steps you can take to do that. As the bouncer of your own mind, you need to recognize lies when they try to input into your mind and trade them for truths.
Thursday Tidbits are short and sweet episodes filled with tangible tips you can implement immediately! My goal with these topics is that you can use them to fuel your growth as you focus on being intentional in every area of your life. Let’s get into today’s Thursday Tidbit.

September 09, 2021 Ep 88 | Why Gratitude Works // How to Begin a Gratitude Routine & Journal
It’s already November, and we’re gearing up for another Thanksgiving season. November is known to be the month of thankfulness, and I love reflecting on the blessings in my life, but I don’t think it should be exclusive to Thanksgiving time. Gratitude is a trait we should adopt in our daily lives, and today we are going to talk about why gratitude works, what it does, and how to begin your own gratitude journal and journey.

September 09, 2021 Part 2: What are the Dangers Critical Race Theory Poses to the Church?
The church is falling for the social justice gospel. When you add anything to the gospel, you’re changing the gospel! Andrew Rappaport is back with me today for part 2 of our chat about critical race theory and how it’s affecting the church.
Andrew Rappaport is the preaching pastor of Grace & Truth Bible Church in Bucks County, PA, and founder and executive director of Striving for Eternity Ministries and the Christian Podcast Community.
If you haven’t listened to part 1, make sure to go back and listen to that one first. We’ve been having a really great discussion so far, and I don’t feel like I need to have a long introduction, so let’s finish this one up by talking about the dangers of critical race theory in the church and what we can do about it.

September 07, 2021Ep 87 | How Gratitude Became an Essential Part of This Quadruple Amputee’s Life // Interview With Wendy Wallace of One Exceptional Life
How many times have I made excuses because I didn’t feel like it, or I don’t think I have what it takes, or maybe it just seems too hard? But God wants to use our weaknesses, our pains, our trails, and turn them into our message.
Today’s guest is a perfect example of this. A flesh-eating bacteria left her in a 3-week coma, and she lost all four of her limbs, becoming a quadruple amputee. Life would never be the same as she once knew it, but after a while, she chose to use her experience to empower others in gratitude, kindness, positivity, and faith, and that is when One Exceptional Life was born.
By the end of this episode, you will be able to understand how to use the gifts God gave you through your struggles and why gratitude and positivity are essential to live one exceptional life.
LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE TO HEAR
Her story of becoming a quadruple amputee and how it affected her life.
The defining moment when she decided to use her struggle to empower others.
How her family stepped up to help and the lessons they all learned through this painful experience.
How gratitude played a huge role in her recovery and still does today.

September 07, 2021 Part 1: What is Critical Race Theory? Cultural Views of CRT
Today is a hot topic for many, and I know it’s controversial in nature, but it needs to be talked about because it’s affecting our kids and the generations to come. Why? Because it’s seeping sneakily (and not-so-sneakily into our schools). Critical race theory.
What is critical race theory? It is the ideology that is behind most of the diversity and inclusivity training in school and the workplace, and these trainings are actually counterproductive because they’re leading to more bias and fear. It is a lens through which to see the world (a worldview) - it shapes how you view politics, theology, and education.
Critical theory sees everything as the oppressed versus the oppressor. It is deconstructing those constructs until they get down to fitting into this worldview of the oppressed versus the oppressor.
Why does this matter? What’s the big deal if our kids are being taught it in schools? Isn’t inclusiveness and diversity training a good thing? That’s exactly what I have Andrew Rappaport on with me to talk about today. The language in our culture is changing, and we need to be aware of what the truth is behind it all.
Andrew is the preaching pastor of Grace & Truth Bible Church in Bucks County, PA, and founder and executive director of Striving for Eternity Ministries and the Christian Podcast Community.

August 31, 2021Ep 86 | Why Advocating for Your Children Matters
As our children’s parents and protectors, we need to be their largest advocate as well. In a world where society thinks it knows what’s best for our children, how do we do this? How do we fight for them and their needs, and why do we need to? Personally, what does it mean to advocate for my children? How do I become my child’s best advocate?
These are questions Julie Jones will help us answer today as we dive into how to advocate for our children and why advocating for your children actually matters.
As a mother of two daughters with hearing loss, Julie knew her journey was going to be a different one. Julie has 26 years of experience raising two daughters with hearing impairment and seeing them grow into happy, productive adults.

August 24, 2021Ep 85 | Fighting a Battle for Her Daughters’ Hearing Challenges
What do you do when you learn that your child is going to struggle with a physical challenge throughout her life?
As a mother of two daughters with hearing loss, Julie Jones knew her journey was going to be a different one. She wanted to share her story in the book The Lemonade Stand 2 in hopes of helping other parents deal with the emotional and mental struggle when learning their child has a physical challenge. Julie has 26 years of experience raising two daughters with hearing impairment and seeing them grow into happy, productive adults.
I believe you’re going to love our conversation as we talk about what stepping into the fire was like for her, how she found victory in this journey, and how it’s been a continual battle she’s had to face.

About Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

From the publisher's feed

Have you thought about finally starting that business now that your kids are older? Do you ever stay awake wondering how to mesh your passions into purposeful work? Do you have big, ambitious goals, but feel overwhelmed or even unqualified to pursue them? Do you desire simplicity and a life without hurry, but you still want to pursue your goals?

With inflation skyrocketing, you may be feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off at home or just to have fun money again, and you’re also ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into an online business sounds like a great side hustle to consider.

But... you don’t want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you’re asking yourself if you’re good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you in the season you’re in.

Well, in this podcast, I will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to use your interests to define your purpose. I’ll help you create systems so you can find the time you need to take action. You’ll learn how to create an atmosphere of simplicity and a life without hurry by setting boundaries, decluttering your schedule and mind, and ditching the distractions so you can finally be present right where you are while growing a successful online business. I have no doubt that you can both make an impact and money all while enjoying what you do.

My ultimate mission is to help you step into the fire of refinement so God can mold and shape you into a woman ready to tackle the vision He placed in your heart. If you’re ready to say yes to what’s next and get unstuck, you’re in the right place.

Hey, I’m Gabe. A wife, mom, writer, runner, and Jesus lover! For years I put my dreams on the shelf thinking I had to sacrifice my own desires for motherhood. I thought I needed to be everything to everyone, but in the process I lost myself. I felt so scattered because I had way too many things on my plate, and I made all the excuses! What I realize now, after hitting a massive goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, is that my kids need me to pursue my own goals so I can be their best example. They need to see me win - and yours do too!

As a running enthusiast, I believe life is one massive marathon, so if you’re ready to turn your passion and purpose into impact and income all for the glory of God, then lace up those running shoes, pop in your ear buds, and let’s do this thing! Step into the fire with me because I know you will come out stronger.

Topics: simple goal planning, setting goals you’ll take action on, online business strategy, simplified business organization, action taking that works
