- Episode 44- Cultivating Contentment Part 2
Episode 43: Cultivating Contentment Part 2
In this episode, I get to share my heart about how to grow in contentment in different areas of our lives. When you are content, you are fully surrendered and can live in peace. We are surrendered when we love the Lord with all of our hearts, soul, and mind. God has taken you this far and has continued to carry you through this season.
Deuteronomy 5:6
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength
- Before you can be content you go through a stretching season of discomfort and discontent.
- Contentment begins when we get to the end our ourselves.
- When God is preparing our hearts we go through resistance training with our faith.
- God desires us to put our faith in Him and to rely on Him.
- The enemy will try to get you to do things on your own so that you don't have to rely on God.
- The first step to contentment is being a good steward of the oil that is in your hand now, the gifts that God has blessed you.
- Cultivating contentment requires you to feed your faith and to exercise putting your faith in our creator and our heavenly Father who has designed you and knows the plans for you.
- Every vision and calling requires a sacrifice.
- Are you willing to sacrifice your own agenda and ideas and surrender it to God and trust Him to lead you and guide you?
- Temporary contentment is when we put our faith into things and not God.
- Discontentment will come when we sacrifice our intimacy with God for other idols that we think will sustain us.
- Our true contentment is when we place our faith fully in God.

Episode 43: Cultivating Contentment
In this episode, we discuss a topic that we face every day and strive to achieve. Contentment is very rare and valuable once we achieve the ability to live in contentment. We live in a world where we constantly live in discontentment and we’re striving to be fulfilled through different avenues. God wants to show us that He is the true contentment that we need.
Contentment- a statement of happiness and satisfaction.
1 Timothy 6:6- Godliness with contentment is great gain.
Hebrews 13:5- Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “ Never will I leave you nor forsake you.”
We find true wealth in contentment with God when we have surrendered our will to Him.
We need to be aware of things in our life that can become an idol.
The first step is to identify what areas you are experiencing discontentment and evaluate where you have given the most authority to, and ask yourself if you have give God authority over it?
God wants to have authority over everything in your life.
Wealth and knowledge is priceless and God desires us to live with wisdom.
What are we passing down to our children and the next generation?
We have a responsibility to live according to God’s word and to live in contentment in HIm.
Start being content with where you are right now, and choose gratitude.
Don’t dismiss the struggle that you're going through, honor the struggle that you're experiencing because it’s stretching you and propelling you into your next season.
Learn from your struggles and grow from them.
We have to learn to cultivate contentment and continually grow in it.
There are going to be sacrifices that you make to see success in your life.
Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice in order to fulfill His calling.
When we’re content with what we need God will bring you the desires of your heart.
Start to evaluate where you are most discontent with and that is what you value the most, this is what you need to surrender to God and give Him the authority over.
God desires to be your contentment and your peace.
Visions of Gold: What areas have God already given you the authority over? Where have you been discontent and why?

43 min - Episode 42- Building Discipline Part 2
In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to build discipline and why it is so important, and how to build it. Building discipline starts with defining our ultimate goal and vision of what we are building discipline for. Before we can identify where to start we need to identify what are pain points are.
Part Recap
· Small disciplines every day lead to success.
· Discipline starts with convictions, obedience, and being consistent in carrying out the vision.
3 things to build discipline
1) Conviction- ask God to reveal the areas in your life why you need discipline in that area
2) Clarity- of your vision and why you're building discipline.
3) Commitment- choose to commit to building discipline in your life.
Building Discipline Part 2
Before we build discipline you need to identify what your pain points are. You need to identify what areas in your life you lack discipline in and focus on that one area.
Proverbs 29:17
“Discipline your children, and they will give you peace” they will bring you the delights you desire.”
God desires to discipline us so that we can receive the gifts that He has for us.
Discipline comes from being focused and consistent in obedience.
There is a joy that comes from discipline.
Building discipline is teaching yourself new habits that best serve you and your vision.
Disciplined people are learners, you have to learn how to be humble and willing to learn from the seasons of life.
God is our ultimate teacher.
God’s vision for your life is contingent on how disciplined you are.
Discipline begins with your decisions.
-You can be your biggest critic or your biggest coach, which one will you choose to be?
2 Timothy 1:7
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.
God gives us POWER, LOVE, and SELF DISCIPLINE.
The worldly mindset is fearful, insecure, and lacks self-control which is the opposite of God’s kingdom.
God’s way and His kingdom principles and power come from the gifts of the Holy Spirit who gives us all that we need.
Power: meaning AUTHORITY that comes from God.
LOVE that overcomes fear and God’s grace to do all things.
SELF DISCIPLINE is having the knowledge of God and being obedient to God.
Proverbs 5:23
For lack of discipline, they will die, led astray by their own great folly.
Visions of Gold:
What are your biggest pain points?
Ask God to discipline you and help teach you so that you can grow in the fruit of the Holy Spirit and have self-control.
Focus on one discipline at a time to develop and commit to it.
Read and Memorize Hebrews 12:11 and Psalms 37:4

51 min - Episode 40: New year, New perspective Part 2
In this episode, I share some personal experiences that have helped me change my perspective. Our perspective helps protect our vision and becomes our filter in how we view our life experiences. Even in the struggles of life, we are reminded of how important it is to keep a healthy perspective and not let circumstances change our perspective.
- We can’t allow our circumstances to change our perspective from positive to negative.
- “Successful people do things consistently what other people do occasionally.”
- Craig Groeschel
- Don’t allow the opinions of others and failures to change what you do consistently every day.
- When God gives you a vision, He will give it to you in the Spirit before you will see in the flesh.
- Our perspective needs to be aligned with God’s perspective.
- Beware of who you share your perspective and vision with so that they don’t compromise you.
- God wants to trust us with more, and He starts trusting us with the little things first.
- You have to keep your perspective healthy by investing in it and speaking life.
- Your new perspective will be created when you let go of the old perspective.
- How important is your vision to you, are you willing to move things around in your life that no longer serve you and your vision?
Visions of Gold: Write down what your new perspective will be and meditate on it.
