I’m guessing that for many of you the question, “What is your word of the year,” either excites you or just really annoys you. I get it. I have gone back and forth many times. Let's talk about it.

What’s the deal with the word of the year? Should I have a word of the year? How do I get a word of the year? If I don't have a word of the year, do I just make one up?

In this episode, I will share with you what I think about this whole “word of the year” thing. And yes, I’ll even share my own word for this year. Feel free to steal it!

Does the thought of “home for the holidays” sometimes conjure up more anxiety than warm-fuzzies? If you are heading into this season with slightly more trepidation than comfort and joy this episode is for you! Here you will find 19 Bible verses for managing holiday anxiety. Plus, a list of positive confessions, based on Scripture which you can use to reset and renew your mind as we go into special season.

So often this time of year I hear horror stories and watch as fear and anxiety cripple so many strong, beautiful Christian women. Does something inside you threaten to revert back to that insecure, middle school girl when faced with the ones who witnessed those fateful times in your life? Me too! But, sister…We can fight this!

If you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, the very same God who raised Him from the dead lives on the inside of you, and you can walk in that power each and every moment. No circumstances, no feelings, and no past hurts have the right to take you under their control because you are a woman of God. You do not have to bow down to the old chains the enemy is trying to ensnare you with.

WARNING: This episode contains weapons of mass destruction! Use these to fight the battles that rage in your mind, and the enemy doesn’t stand a chance!

My friends, there is power in the stillness. It is in the quiet – in the peace – that we can most accurately reflect the glory of our God. If you feel your soul is a jumbled, turbulent mess I beg you, make the time to be still.

Still waters reflect perfectly the image of the sun. Raging waters reflect nothing. When my soul is still and at peace I can beautifully reflect the image of the Son to the world around me, but when my soul within me is turbulent and tossing there’s no reflection at all. It’s merely a churning mess.

When two or more "good" and "important" things are competing for my time and energy, how do I choose what to focus on? And what's the deal with balance? Perhaps balance is not all things being equal, but rather all things being as they should.

In part 2 of my conversation with John Michael and Maribeth Hinton we talk about the freedom of leaning into your individual creative process. Maybe productivity and success are not measured by comparing ourselves to others’ highlight reels. Maybe it is about learning to lean into the unique rhythms of your own pace of life with which the Creator purposefully designed you.

And as for “life balance” – Perhaps balance is less about all things being equal and more about all things being as they should be.

If you haven’t yet, be sure to pick up John Michael’s brand-new book, Imaginate: Unlocking Your Purpose with Creativity and Collaboration! This book strikes the not-so-easy balance between insightful and entertaining, and makes a perfect gift for any age.

If you don’t already know him, I can’t wait to introduce you to “my friend John!” I'm talking about the one and only... because the world is not ready for more than one... incredible magician, speaker, and author, John Michael Hinton. There is so much more to this guy than a Rubik's Cube and an epic head of red hair.

Perhaps you saw John Michael’s mind-blowing appearance on The CW’s “Penn and Teller: Fool Us.” From never-before-seen tricks with the Rubik’s cube to mystifying card tricks, John’s shows always end by circling back to the real Supernatural, the King of Hearts Himself. 

John Michael is an inspiring example of how when we lean into the uniqueness with which God made us and the passion He put in our hearts and combine that with a desire to know and share Jesus, super-natural things happen!

John’s brand new book, Imaginate: Unlocking Your Purpose with Creativity and Collaboration, is now available! This book strikes the not-so-easy balance between insightful and entertaining

This interview with John Michael and his amazing wife, Maribeth was so much fun! I can’t wait for you to listen in.
