Spirit Driven Success

God has the ability to move at God-speed!

• Your life may be full of sin today and you ask for forgiveness and it’s completely gone tomorrow. 
• You may not know Jesus today but you ask him into your life and he comes in instantly and now you have salvation. 
• You look at stories in the bible where people were dealing with sickness and Jesus healed them instantly.

There might be circumstances in your life where you’ve been praying that they will change but you’re needing hope to believe again. 

This episode is for you if you’re needing your faith re-fueled and your hope increased. 

God can change your life and that he can change your life fast!

But there is God’s part and there is your part. 

I’m sharing with you the real things that you should do to take part in the process to make sure that you don’t miss out on the opportunities that God has for you, even today.

Plus, I’m giving you the one key to how to build your spirit back up and set your faith on fire in the areas where discouragement may have crept in.

Listen in to receive the tools to get unstuck and the faith to dream big again.

The first thing that God ever said on this earth that was full of darkness was “Let there be light.” 

Your life can only go as far as your Vision is!

If you don’t see where you’re going you will not be able to get there. Vision is absolutely necessary in order to move your life forward. 

 That’s why I am so excited to bring you our guest speaker on the podcast, a dear friend of mine, Pastor Obed Martinez of Destiny Church in Southern CA who has a powerful message for Visionaries as he takes a deep dive into “How to Unlock the Power Within.”  

Pastor Obed lays the foundation of where vision begins.

What He has discovered is that vision begins on the inside.

He takes the ever-popular Bible verse that says, “God promises to do exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ever ask or imagine,” and provides breakthrough insight on it -- that it’s not an outward work but an inside job.

God is going to build you up first internally and only then will that manifest externally. 

This episode will be absolutely transformative for you as you listen to Pastor Obed who is dropping a ton of wisdom and power quotables throughout the entire show! 

Obed shares what it practically looks like to organize your mind in a way that renews it, preventing you from getting stuck in the margins that lack of clarity and doubt can bring. 

“Poverty doesn’t show up in your pockets until you allow it to come into your mind.” 

This episode is for anyone that wants more clarity, peace,  expectation, and anticipation of what’s possible in their mind!

 I’m so excited for you to tune in as I believe you will be inspired and equipped to unlock your vision and recognize the full potential that God has already deposited inside of you to soar.

Make sure you share this episode with someone who needs it and remember to rate, review and subscribe!!

When the storms of life come are you tossed every which way or are you grounded in your identity and who called has created you to be? 

In today’s episode, we are talking about staying firm in your identity when times are tough and I’m so excited for you to meet our guest speaker, Alana Palm!

Alana is the CEO and Founder of Wake Up Joyful. She specializes in helping women heal and get free from their past pain to really understand their true identity in Christ so that they can raise up into the person God has called them to be. 

Alana shares her story of how she lost her identity, first to seeking everything this world could offer and then in religion as she fell prey to a toxic cult that nearly destroyed her life.

As Alana shares her story of transitioning from heartbreak and struggle into her true identity that she discovered in Christ, the identity she can now stand firm on when the storms come and the shiny objects come along to distract…

... you will be inspired by her faith and courage as she learned how to be rooted in God’s promises and truth instead of being controlled by the opinions, approval, and plans of man.

From this episode, you will take away practical steps on how you can align your identity with how God sees you and how you can let go, surrender to His plan, and wait for God to fulfill the vision he has given you… even when it doesn’t look exactly the way you want or when the wait seems to never end.

I pray as you listen, that Alana’s story blesses you and you are strengthened in who God has created you to be.

The spiritual realm is just as important as the physical realm and there is a real enemy who wants to take your future and take you away from your God-inspired goals.  

I see so many people try to win spiritual battles with their minds. 

When you’re fighting your mind, you’re fighting your own thoughts.

But then you have the spiritual fight which are thoughts that are not actually your own thoughts... they are the outside voice talking to you.

This is a spiritual attack! 

So you have to be able to learn how to fight that voice, to fight in the spirit, and that’s what I’m diving into in this episode.

 One of the most powerful things I’ve learned on this earth was how to fight spiritually.

I had to fight for the plans that God had for me because the enemy does not want God to reveal His goodness. 

He wanted me to lose hope in God.

That’s exactly what the enemy wants to do. He wants you to lose hope in the Godly path being the right path.

He wants you to doubt the path.

He wants you to doubt God’s voice and His promises.

I’m going to share with you how to fight and to stand when these spiritual attacks come against you and how to speak life and truth over yourself to WIN the war. 

 I hope this podcast not only inspires, reminds, and encourages you to fight spiritually but also paints a clear picture that we are in a spiritual war.

Remember that you don’t have anything to be afraid of because you’re walking with the keys and the authority that has been passed down by Jesus.

 God’s will always prevails. Just keep speaking and keep fighting. 

Oftentimes our own thought life is working against us instead of for us.

There are so many mental battles for people that are going after their God-inspired goals and visions. 

You’re dealing with high resistance, the voice of the enemy, your own doubt, and difficult relationships and circumstances…

This is something that I dealt with and had to confront as a solo entrepreneur ...

I began the simple act of journaling to get out the thoughts that were within me.

Through this practice, the Lord revealed an exercise to me, a way to develop a beautiful mind.

In this episode, I’m sharing with you my personal journal entries and how I began to recenter my focus point for the day to begin to create a beautiful mind.

As I began to create a beautiful mind I have been able to create a beautiful life. Nothing in my world has changed except my mind.

So take a listen to this new episode and discover how to escape your old way of thinking and come into the new.

My ultimate prayer is that as you listen, God will speak to you as a son and daughter and release the beautiful mind that he wants to give you.

We are always marketing or evangelizing whether we are in business or not.

Jesus felt the pain of marketing, as we all have, as he experienced radical rejection and criticism for his message but he was also able to experience the joy of getting his message across and seeing lives changed because of it. 

His entire purpose of being here on this earth was for marketing as he was here to deliver a message. 

No matter where you’re at in the world we all evangelize a message. What can we learn about how Jesus marketed his message so that we can apply it in our lives?

I’m going to share with you the seven steps that Jesus used to market his message that you can learn from and follow to gain passion, greater effectiveness, and surprising (and even fun!) methods to attract more people to your message. 

What you will learn:

• The strategies Jesus used to attract people to His message
• How Jesus spread his message to others and how you can do the same!
• How Jesus viewed Marketing for the Kingdom and how that made Him so effective with His mission
• How you can expand your marketing efforts from the example that Jesus laid out for you

This episode will have the most power in your prayer closet when you can get time to reflect on the steps and get downloads from the Holy Spirit in regards to your exact messaging, the best way you should evangelize it, and to whom you should go.

I hope as you listen and go through the steps yourself, you will be able to unlock your message and get it out to the world in a bigger way.

Your true identity is that God has made you enough.

The problem is that often although we might know this intellectually, we do not actually feel enough.

There are a couple of things that make up your belief as to whether you believe you are enough and that is the feeling of being enough and the actual activities of being enough. 

As an entrepreneur or visionary, there is a real calling over your life and there are some real actions that need to be taken in order to reach the physical location that God has for you which is your destiny.

And then there is this aspect of feeling enough where your actual emotions are in alignment with who God has made you to be. 

In order to truly believe that you are enough, you have to be able to draw from real evidence or else you won’t believe it -- and that is ultimately what matters -- your belief that you are enough.

In this episode, I will be going over the two things that make up your belief on being enough and how to define what is enough for yourself, get to a place of contentment, and make sure you reach your goals and your full potential that God has for you.

I hope this message will encourage you and give you some clarity and perspectives shifts.. Because ultimately you want to be able to be enough, do enough, and feel enough and have those all in alignment. 

Are you too tolerant of things that are not of excellence?

We all have this internal thermostat built-in and a lot of times as believers we are too tolerant of things that are not God’s best for us. 

This often happens with your career or business but can happen in any area of life …

You can become tolerant with your income, who you hire, a relationship, things that aren’t producing fruit in your life...

What you tolerate has a lot to do with what your identity is. Your identity is made up of two things: How you see God and how you see yourself. 

If you don’t raise your internal thermostat which we all have inside of us, then we will always drop back down to the level where our thermostat is set at. 

You might have to go looking for a new career, you might need to raise your prices, you might have to cut off the old way of doing things to create new space for God to do something new in you…

In this episode, we will be talking about those decisions that are sometimes extremely painful to make but that we have to make in order to live out all that God has for us… 

So, my questions for you today are:

Where is your internal thermostat set at?

What have you been too tolerant of that needs to change?

What hard decision have you been avoiding that you know you need to make?

Are you feeling stuck in the mud of life, a victim to your circumstances?

You’ve been following your passions, you’ve been doing everything you know to do, but for whatever reason, it’s led you down this road where you’re playing a role in life that you didn’t see yourself playing?

You might be a more adventurous or fun person but you find yourself doing tasks that aren’t that fun or that exciting…

You thought your life would be progressing a bit further along by now and it’s just not matching up to the vision you see for yourself

You find yourself questioning how God has led you to where you are... Maybe even questioning if you have what it takes and if you’re really doing enough

You have a vision and passion but for whatever reason, you’re feeling a little stuck in the mud.

So if that’s you, this episode is going to be a very powerful episode! 

I’m sharing with you my story where I recently felt lost in my own vision, spinning my own wheels, I felt discouraged and powerless… 

Even though I was at the top of my success game, it felt as if I wasn’t going to get to the place that God had for me and I was moving further and further away from the work that I’m gifted to do and that I love doing. 

What I discovered, is that the discouragement and disillusionment were rooted in the story I was telling myself.

A story that said I was the victim with no way out, powerless to change my situation.

In this episode I’m challenging you to identify the story you are telling yourself, helping you to see that you have the power to change your role and to change your story into an empowering story.

When you align your role with the vision, meaning you’re doing the things that God created you to do, you’re going to feel more alive and you’re going to want to do the work.

Are you a person in ministry, business, or entrepreneurship who has a God-given dream, impact that you want to make in the world, a mission, or a God-vision and you’re struggling to see it come to reality?

This week on the Spirit Driven Success podcast, I am talking with my friend and colleague, Dr. Shannon, a brain science expert and business strategist. 

Dr. Shannon is the CEO and Founder of Epic Success, a neuroscience coaching program. She is a Doctor in Neuropsychology and a serial entrepreneur who also founded a nonprofit in Uganda, Mosaic Vision, which works to support Ugandan widows and children orphaned by AIDS. 

Shannon knew that God had called her to something big, but she found herself procrastinating, getting into perfectionism, stopping, and starting. She is no stranger to burnout and believing the story that you have to work yourself into the ground to earn the right to be successful.

A believer who was doing all the right things, going to church, praying, working hard, but she had her cup upside down and knew she had to find a way to reach her God potential in a better way.

Shannon discovered the process to remove the limiting stories that seem to run on auto-pilot in our brains so we no longer have to be a slave to the flesh but can think in a way that aligns with the Lord and with success. This was the birth of her neuro-coaching model.

You didn’t create your own money story, your success story, or your worth story - you received it from your environment of origin. 

You’ve been on auto-pilot receiving automations that you did not choose.

Dr. Shannon is revealing to you the powerful tools to help you break free from any automated systems that are keeping you stuck and unable to reach the potential that God has created you for.

You will learn the below important keys to success:

• How just “thinking differently” & “willpower” isn’t the answer
• The 2 ‘key’ things you need to shift your brain automation to success
• The 4-step process to hack your system and remove the automated stories that are holding you back

These will involve unpacking your stories of origin, facing the resistances that you will encounter and within that, leaning into the steps you need to take to grow your business.

By the end of the episode, you are going to have some clear action steps that you can take away to unwire your broke money story enabling you to unlock your God-given potential and reach your God visions.

You will want to grab a pen and paper for this one because you will definitely want to take notes on this absolutely transformative, impactful, and powerful message from Dr. Shannon. 

I’m so grateful to have her as a guest on the show and you definitely don’t want to miss this one! We change by the renewing of our minds, and Dr. Shannon broke down how that works.
