Something to Bless

Life can change in an instant. That could be a scary or exciting thought, right? Every day, we are one decision, opportunity, encounter, (fill in the blank) away from a life-changing experience. In Revelation, we are reminded of the suddenness of Jesus' return. In chapter 18, the words "in an instant" are repeated to emphasize this. Knowing that he could return at any moment, wouldn't you want to be prepared to meet him? In the same way, every day bring with it the opportunity to prepare for the goodness of God. When you are willing to show up and work hard, serve and love others, and continue trusting in God, regardless of what your life currently looks like, you will be rewarded with a harvest at the proper time. Tune in to today's episode as Barbara shares with you the power of In an Instant. Share with a friend!

Barbara Guillen is a teacher, writer, and business owner. She is on a mission to help others live a life of meaning, purpose, and empowerment. In order to know who we are, we must first know WHOSE we are. When we are clear on our identity, we can achieve the unthinkable! 

If you are on a mission to live a better life by being the best version of you OR you want to know more about what GOD has to say about your life and your purpose, then this is your place. We’re keeping it really real around here about what it takes to live an intentional life full of meaning, purpose, and faith. We’re digging into God’s word so that we can be filled with the TRUTH and PROMISE that he has for each of us. Let’s get into it. 

Many of us live with the anticipation of what tomorrow will bring- you know, future trippin'. While this is not entirely wrong, it can keep us from living each day with our God-given purpose. We spend so much time thinking about the next thing that we remove ourselves from being fully present in the here and now. What God has for us, we often miss because we're not really paying attention. We're not noticing what's right in front of us. Tune in to today's episode as Barbara shares a little perspective on how you can shift the way you show up every day so that you can grab hold of the day God has given you and live fully the way you were always meant to!

Every day brings dozens of deposits. No, I'm not talking about money, although most of us do earn something every day! I'm talking about joy, peace, provision, patience, endurance...and more. Whether it's a conversation with a loved one or even a stranger that filled you with laughter and understanding or another mundane day at work where your smile brought warmth to soemone's day, deposits and withdrawals are made every day in every way. Tune in to today's show as Barbara shares some of the recent deposits in her life and asks you to consider your own recent deposits and withdrawals. What are you leaving with others and what have others poured into you? It all counts.

Discernment is a gift that God has given all of his children. It especially comes in clutch when you need a little guidance and spiritual direction. Before you speak, act, and make little or big decisions, using discernment can be the one thing that keeps you in alignment with the ways of God. Through three simple methods, you can access better discernment to help you be the best version of yourself everywhere you go. Tune in today's show as Barbara breaks down how. Share with a friend!

God is (fill in the blank). You could probably come up with a long list of what God is...merciful, full of grace, love, kind, gentle, just...the list goes on. But how often are you truly resting in who you know God to be? How often are you living out this truth of who God is? Oftentimes, we assume the responsibilities that really belong to God and in doing so, act as our own little gods. Today, Barbara is looking at just some of the things God is as she helps you connect these truths to who YOU are as his son and daughters. Tune in and share with a friend!

What does it mean to be empty of self? Jesus told us that the most important commandment was to love God and others. The single act of loving God and others means we are constantly seeking outside of ourselves. It means we are inviting and welcoming opportunities to be used by God for His glory. We do this when we love others— when we give of our time, resources, and energy. Once we commit to this kind of life— God pours an ever-flowing river of goodness that allows us to continue giving from overflow. Today, Barbara is sharing more updates on her cross-country move as well as some powerful downloads she's received. Tune in and share with a friend!

Okay friends, how many of you proudly wear the badge of being a people pleaser? Maybe you take pride in the fact that you put others before yourself and feel good about your selflessness. Or perhaps you're on the other side of this: you know your tendency to push down your truth in order to appease others and now you have some resentments about it. Today on the show, Barbara is talking to Kori Strobl, a self leadership coach who's worked with countless others to reclaim their true identities and self worth. With a Masters degree in Spiritual Psychology and over two decades of deep work in this space, she has more than a few gems that we can all take from today's episode.
