When you have big goals and dreams for your life, it's hard not to get discouraged when other people don't believe in you. You start to second guess yourself and if you're cut out to make your dreams happen for yourself. Self doubt and worry start to creep in, and before you know it, that dream can feel like a distant thought and then life starts "lifeing." It can be frustrating to get that glimmer of hope, and then face the reality of rejection from others, or even the self-limiting beliefs we have on our own. In this episode, the host, Iesha Grove, shares the hard truth that we can sometimes be our biggest critic, how to overcome negative opinions, and how to set yourself up for success so that you can do exactly what God has intended for your life.

Sometimes we go through a season of growth and God has to get our attention. This time is a special moment when we need to listen in and lean into the pressure to come out better than gold. God has big plans for our lives and He doesn't want us to settle- He wants us to be everything that He created us to be. He has plans for us to prosper. During the growth season, it's important to trust God, be patient, and look to what God wants us to learn in this journey. It's so easy to get caught up in what's going on around us and forget that we are with the One who calms the storm and commands the sea. In this episode, the host, Iesha Grove, shares a heart to heart chat with you to help you navigate the growth season and come out even stronger than ever before with God by your side.

Have you ever felt like you would give money if you had money to give? In today's episode, the host, Iesha Grove, shares a life lesson on why we should shift our thinking from lack to abundance, when it comes to our money and how we can direct our efforts towards this in regards to giving. The Bible mentions giving over 2,000 times to emphasize the importance of giving and consequences when we choose not to give, or we try to hold on to money or things for our own gain. When we open our hearts to giving and abundance, we get to experience God's blessings on our lives, and then we in turn, can bless others.

Let us know if you plan to incorporate giving into your regular lifelong habit starting today!
