What would your character summary say if you were looking at the script for your own life?

We are the heroes of our own stories! This is a foundational belief at Flight Deck Life School and as I read my advance copy of Redemption's Echo, Cathy McIntosh's new book, I found some great food for thought from how she developed and introduced us to the hero of her story.

Using some pulled quotes from her book, we talk about the importance of actively shaping your life and destiny rather than passively waiting for circumstances to change.

We explore how our habits and choices directly influence your sense of purpose and fulfillment, drawing insights from the protagonist of Cathy McIntosh's novel, "Redemption's Echo."

Grab a cup of coffee, and let's talk through some simple ways to foster a mindset of growth & open ourselves to new opportunities, to break free from feelings of stagnation and discover our unique paths.

This episode will help you take charge of your journey and trust in God’s guidance along the way!

This week, I'm joined by the incredible Cathy McIntosh—a marketing strategist, author, and all-around inspiration! Cathy has been making waves in the world of faith-driven marketing, and she's here to share her wisdom, insights, and the heart behind her work.

We delve into her fascinating journey, from crafting genuine connections with audiences to her fresh new venture into the world of fiction with her book "Redemption's Echo."

A few of my favorite thoughts from our conversation:

• Hearing and obeying God's whispers
• Courage in following through: "Every time I say yes to something hard, I'm teaching my children and grandchildren they can do hard things, too." -Cathy McIntosh
• The coexistence of joy and grief and finding God in both
• Opening our eyes to the reality of human trafficking and seeing its victims as fully formed people with hopes and dreams
• MANY of us SAY–"I'm going to write a book someday" but only about 5% actually do so–Cathy is EXACTLY the person who can help Christian authors make their dreams a reality!

You can order your copy of Redemption's Echo NOW at redemptionsecho.com. While you're there, please check out the awesome incentives and packages that we touched upon in the episode.

Feeling overwhelmed? Tired of hearing (and SAYING) "I'm just so exhausted" everywhere you turn?

In this episode, we dive deep into the roots of weariness and discover how to find true rest in a world that never slows down. Learn practical insights from Matthew 11:28-29, figure out how to off-load and outsource some of the baggage you're carrying, and uncover how aligning your motivation, attitude, and delegation with God’s promises can make your burdens lighter.

Tune in for a refreshing perspective that will leave you feeling recharged and ready to embrace life with a renewed sense of ease and joy!

Do you ever feel frustrated because your big goals, big ideas, big ambitions and big plans feel stuck and impossible and not worth pursuing?

Or maybe all the things that normally work to keep your life humming along just AREN'T working for you lately?

Been there, done that–and in fact that pretty much describes my last few months!

In this episode, though, I'll break down how I've coached myself through it–and in the process grown myself in grace and compassion toward myself which has in turn re-ignited my faith! (This shouldn't be such a big surprise–the Bible does say that faith works by love!)

The Case Study presented is my very own. Listen up and share your thoughts with Flight Deck on social media! What are practical ways you've learned to use your faith in navigating life's challenges?

What does it mean to find your calling and to live your purpose?

Drawing from my own experiences (which have included a fair amount of confusion and guilt! 😬😳), I share how I learned that a calling isn't just about grand roles but includes our everyday responsibilities.

We'll look at biblical scriptures like Matthew 22:14 and 2 Timothy 1:9 to understand that we are all ALREADY CALLED–both TO our faith in Christ, and THROUGH our faith in Christ. And because of this truth, I encourage you to frame your daily life with a sense of reverence and mission, recognizing it as holy and purposeful.

Plus, we'll talk through some practical tips like using daily affirmations and gratitude to transform your everyday tasks into meaningful acts of service.
