The Christine Caine Equip and Empower Podcast VIDEO

Why are you holding yourself back from the life you long for? From an abundant life full of joy and purpose. From the new career you want to explore, the deeper friendships you long for, a college degree or a healthy loving relationship. Is it because you don’t feel qualified or think that you don’t have what it takes? Maybe it’s because you’re afraid you’ll lose friends by making a big move, get hurt if you put yourself out there in relationships, or that you’ll look like a fool if you fail. We’ve certainly all had those seasons in life where we feel stuck, a bit parazlyed even by our own fear. And no matter what is causing us to be afraid, the way out is to realize that, with God on our side, we have nothing to lose. Fear is natural, but small lives are ruled by big fears. And you were created for a wide-open, expansive life - not a small one. This episode will empower you to confront fear, commit to getting unstuck, and develop the courage to take risks so you can experience the abundant, purpose-filled life you were made for.

How you see yourself has a massive impact on how you live your life - the choices you make, the dreams you pursue, and the legacy you leave. So I wonder: how do you see yourself? Do you believe you just happen to be alive on the earth at this moment in time? Or do you believe God created you on purpose, with a purpose, for such a time as this? Only one of those is true, and it is this: God created you with a unique purpose and put you on the earth in this generation for a specific reason - to impact your world for God’s glory. Your world may be within your family, your neighborhood, your workplace, or the actual global universe. That’s up to you and God. But he created you in his image with exactly the gifts and talents he wants you to have to serve the people around you. Do not waste a minute of your precious life thinking you don’t matter or that you don’t have what it takes to do much good. This episode will empower you to see yourself as God sees you and walk fully in your God-given purpose as you impact the world around you for the Kingdom.

Do you have big dreams, long to make a difference for the Kingdom, but find yourself holding back because you think you’re too regular, your life too ordinary, or your abilities too small? I have good news for you - God has only ever used ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He takes what the world considers a “nobody” and turns them into a “somebody.” And their part was simply to say “yes,” to give God their willing heart and open hands in spite of any fear or doubt they were wrestling with. God is bigger than your circumstances and mightier than your own skills or talents. You don’t have to be supremely qualified, come from someplace grand, or be from a certain kind of family or background. You don’t even have to be fearless. You just have to be you, to be willing to do it afraid, and have a heart to go with God wherever he takes you. This episode will empower you to overcome the fear, self doubt, and “scarcity mentality” that can so easily hold us back, and to say “yes” to God trusting that he will provide all you need to step into the future he has planned just for you.

There’s something we can do—something that God calls us all to do—that will keep us living with joy and purpose and youthful zeal for the rest of our lives—and that’s caring for the condition of our heart. Heart health in the natural realm helps us lead a long and strong life, and a spiritually healthy heart leads us to live a strong life filled with a passion and energy that will fuel us in everything we do. It is the key to living a passionate life for all of our days. This principle applies from the days of our youth all the way through our years of maturity. Even as we age chronologically; God provides a way for us to stay young at heart at every stage of our lives. He will show you how. This episode will empower you to maintain a spiritually healthy heart and nurture your passion for living by making a habit of remembering the good, letting go of the bad, remaining flexible for whatever may come, and fixing your eyes on Jesus.

Our identity is shaped by so many things, but one significant factor is where we’re from. Our home impacts so much of how we think, act, and live. While this may be challenging from an earthly perspective if our homes are not loving places, as Christians our true homes are actually all in heaven. And this truth changes everything. When we shift our perspective from earthly to eternal, from what we see to what God sees, we can develop a true understanding of the identity God has formed in us. And when we know whose we are, we know who we are, and we are compelled to live a life that reflects God’s goodness and love in the world. This episode will empower you to find belonging as a child of God, sent to earth for such a time as this, and to pursue your Kingdom purpose with passion and joy.

Do you ever think it would be much easier just to give up on your hopes and dreams because they seem too far-fetched? Maybe you feel it was foolish to think that God would use you in a powerful way or to believe he would make a way where you can’t see one? We’ve likely all had thoughts like this at some point. And these thoughts can help us see what’s really going on: we’re relying on ourselves to make things happen in our lives instead of trusting in God. We can get so preoccupied by looking for our own answers and our own solutions, that we no longer expect them from God. Those are the times to remember that even when we can’t see a way forward that makes sense to us, God does. Because God has always been in the business of using unlikely people and unlikely things at the most unlikely times to provide for His children. He’s amazing that way. Don’t ever lose hope. It may look like that breakthrough, the great promotion, a good medical report, or a healed relationship will ever come to pass—but that’s when you can expect God to show up! This episode will empower you to believe that no matter where you are, and however unlikely it seems, you are the perfect candidate for God to do absolutely amazing things in your life.

God has put us on this earth to be lights in dark places, to be conduits of His love to people, and to make an impact for the Kingdom. But living a life of impact is not always going to be easy and it’s not always going to be comfortable - it will require faith. We’ll have to take some risks by stepping out to go where God wants us to go and to do what he asks us to do. Without faith, we are likely to find ourselves trading the abundant, peace-filled life God designed for us, for one filled with constant worry and fear of the future. This episode will empower you to trust in the goodness of God more than ever, to find lasting victory over fear, and to live with an amazing faith that prepares you to step into the life you were made to live.

Waiting on God is one of the most important things we will ever learn to do. Waiting well leads us to spiritual maturity, develops our reliance on God, builds faith, and infuses us with courage. And waiting on God will take us further than we could ever take ourselves on our own. So what stops us from waiting? Oftentimes, it’s impatience and selfish ambition. On the surface, we may look like we’re on track - fueled by Godly ambition - but if we’re honest with ourselves, the motivation in our hearts has gone a bit sideways. This episode will empower you to trust God so deeply with your future that you develop the discipline to wait on him to open the doors to your destiny rather than striving for it in your own strength.

What do you do when circumstances, friendship, job situations, or lost opportunities disappoint? When things don’t go our way, despite our best efforts, our natural inclination may be to try to take control of the situation. We may attempt to manage by withdrawing from life and avoiding our problems, or by striving in our own strength to make everything right. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to lay it all down and trust God to figure it out. We think if we stop trying to fix it, we’ll get trapped in it. But the truth is just the opposite. Learning to put situations into God’s hands and walk by faith - even when life is unpredictable and we can’t see the next step - makes us unstoppable for the Kingdom. This episode will empower you to face the unpredictable nature of life with confidence and hope as you stir up an unstoppable faith that moves you forward, builds your strength, grows your spiritual maturity, and helps you find joy even when things aren’t going your way.
