Why don't people vote? When someone asked Dorothy Kraft that question, her answer came down to three words: apathy, ignorance, and priorities. If we're honest, those words may describe a season in our own lives.

In this episode of the Kingdom LeadHERship Podcast, Stacy Jo sits down with Dorothy Kraft, Florida Director for the National Faith Advisory Board and Southeast Regional Director for For Liberty and Justice. Together they explore why voting is more than a civic duty. It is a matter of stewardship. Dorothy walks through how Isaiah 33:22 mirrors the three branches of our government, what Romans 13 means in a nation where the people choose their leaders, and why the rights we so often take for granted come from God, not government.

In this episode:

• The three reasons believers sit out elections, and what each one costs us
• How Isaiah 33:22 lines up with the judicial, legislative, and executive branches
• Why our rights come from God and government exists to protect them
• How to engage fully while keeping our hope in God alone
• One simple step you can take this week to become an informed voter

Scripture referenced (NIV): Isaiah 33:22, Romans 13:1, Jeremiah 29:7, 1 Timothy 2:1-2

What if the thing actually shaping your business right now isn't your strategy, your offer, or even your funding, but something nobody, including you, can see?

In this episode of Kingdom LeadHERship, Stacy Jo steps back from ACBW's Kingdom LeadHERship Virtual Summit, ten speakers and two full days of teaching, and pulls out the one thread she found running underneath every single session.

Across the two days, Stacy Jo heard from Molly Gomez, Rachel Wortman, Natalie B. Green, Krystal Parker, Katrina Fitten, Nicole Vallance, April Farris, Samantha Williams, Rae Taggett, and Gena McCown, on subjects ranging from storytelling and funding to prayer and artificial intelligence. Ten completely different women, teaching on ten completely different topics, and not one of them knew what any of the others were about to say. But by the end of day two, Stacy Jo could not unsee it: every single speaker had landed, from a totally different angle, on the exact same discovery.

In this episode, she walks you through exactly how that discovery unfolded, session by session, and lands on one simple truth: what is happening in the part of your life nobody sees is exactly what eventually shows up in the part everybody sees. This episode will change how you think about the story you tell yourself, the decisions you make in private, and the small habits nobody claps for.

If this conversation resonates, the full summit replay, all ten sessions in complete detail, is available now for $39 at kingdomleadhership.com. It is some of the richest, most practical teaching ACBW has ever put together, and this episode only scratches the surface.

Topics covered:

●       Why ten unrelated summit sessions kept describing the same hidden discovery

●       The stories behind Rachel Wortman's internal ceiling and Natalie B. Green's baggage behind the brand

●       What Katrina Fitten's client panic over a $130,000 windfall reveals about money mindset

●       Samantha Williams on Caleb, and the difference between confronting something and just coexisting with it

●       Why the small, unglamorous one percent is what actually lasts

●       How to identify the one unseen thing in your own life or business right now

Scripture referenced in this episode:

●       Proverbs 4:23 (ASV) — “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

(Scripture is shared conversationally in this episode. We encourage you to look up the passage in your own Bible for the full context.)

The culture tells us AI is here to replace us. Christian circles carry a second layer of tension on top of that, a quiet suspicion that these tools should be feared or kept at a distance. Scripture tells a different story. God holds dominion over our lives and our callings, and the tools of our age can serve under that authority, never above it.

In this episode, host Stacy Jo talks with Nicole Rain, co-founder of Rain Circle AI, about where AI belongs in a Christian business owner's life, what must always stay reserved for the leading of the Holy Spirit, and why this may be the most empowering moment in history for a solo entrepreneur or small team to grow her revenue and her Kingdom impact.

Scripture Referenced:

Genesis 1:28 

Genesis 2:17

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 

1 John 1:9

Can a room full of gifted, capable people still be running on fear? Author, certified emotional health practitioner, and Vision and Leadership Advisory Council member Natalie B. Green joins the Kingdom LeadHERship Podcast to talk about the culture problems that never show up in a memo, the quiet resignation, the meeting where nobody pushes back, the knot in your stomach you've decided not to name.

In this conversation, we cover:

• The early warning signs a culture has turned, even when nobody's said a word out loud
• How to hold grace and truth in the same hand without letting either one win
• What separates a difficult person from a genuinely toxic one, and why they require different responses
• The one question every leader should ask herself before she asks it of her team
• Why talent should never buy immunity from accountability

Natalie is the author of 10 Superpowers of Effective Leaders: Neutralizing Toxicity in Team Culture. Find her books and everything else at NatalieBGreen.com or on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and TikTok at Natalie B. Green.

If this one names something you've been avoiding, send it to the woman you thought of while you were listening.

 Before we go, mark your calendar. Natalie will be joining us as one of the speakers at the Kingdom LeadHERship Virtual Summit, September 17 and 18, two days of teaching from Christian women in business, free to attend with a $39 VIP replay pass if you want to watch at your own pace.

Ever feel like the work you're doing doesn't count because nobody's around to see it? This week's episode is audio only, no video, because it's been one of those weeks. But that's exactly what led to today's conversation.

In this solo episode, Stacy Jo talks about the quiet, unapplauded obedience most Kingdom LeadHERs carry every day: the late night bookkeeping, the fortieth repeat of the same customer question, the prayer whispered in the car before a hard meeting. She unpacks three truths from scripture that reframe what actually counts in God's economy, and issues a challenge to help you reclaim the value of your unseen work.

You'll walk away from this episode with a fresh perspective on the parts of your calling nobody applauds, a personal challenge to put into practice this week, and a reminder that your faithfulness has never needed an audience to matter.

Mark your calendar for the Kingdom LeadHERship Summit, September 17th and 18th, virtual with a VIP replay option available at registration.

Every night you plug your phone in without a single ounce of guilt. You do not lecture it for needing to recharge. So why do we run ourselves down to empty and call it faithfulness?

In this episode, Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne unpacks why burnout so often disguises itself as commitment, and why rest is not the opposite of your calling, it may be the thing that sustains it.

In this episode you'll hear:

• Why burnout rarely arrives with a warning label, and how it hides inside "faithfulness"

• What Genesis 2 reveals about rest being part of God's original design, not a modern accommodation

• Why Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 is not about working less, but being yoked to Him instead of carrying it alone

• How Exodus 33:14 changes what you're actually waiting for before you let yourself rest

• Practical boundaries that protect your capacity to lead well, instead of leading on empty

If you've been running on fumes and calling it dedication, this episode is your permission slip to stop, and to discover that rest is holy, not lazy.

Scripture References

• Genesis 2:2-3

• Psalm 23:2-3

• Matthew 11:28-30

• Exodus 33:14

Somewhere along the way, a lot of us were taught that boundaries are selfish, that saying no is unspiritual, and that real faith means being endlessly available. Kingdom LeadHER, that is not true, and today Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne is walking through why.

In this solo episode, Stacy Jo gets honest about the seasons she has run on fumes believing that protecting her time meant loving people less. She unpacks the difference between availability and faithfulness, the difference between being needed and being called, and why a leader who never protects her own capacity is not more devoted, she is just more depleted. This episode is for every Kingdom LeadHER who has said yes out of guilt instead of conviction and is ready for that to change.

Scripture referenced in this episode:

●       Luke 5:16 – Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray

●       Proverbs 4:23 – Guard your heart above all else

●       Nehemiah 4:9 – They prayed to God and posted a guard

●       Matthew 5:37 – Let your yes be yes and your no be no

We encourage you to look up each of these passages in your own Bible or Bible app as you listen.

In this episode:

●       Why boundaries are an act of stewardship, not rejection

●       The difference between being needed and being called

●       Why depletion delays the Kingdom instead of serving it

●       Practical ways to let your yes be yes and your no be no

●       How to build margin into your life before you are desperate for it

Most business owners run on one guardrail, the bank account balance, and Diana Miret says that number lies to you more than it tells you the truth.

In this episode of Kingdom LeadHERship, Stacy Jo sits down with her dear friend and ACBW Vision and Leadership Council member Diana Miret, a fractional CFO with 35 years of experience as an executive and finance leader. Diana retired at 55, got bored within four years, and found her way into small business coaching, eventually specializing in the Profit First system. She's guided hundreds of business owners through it, from six figure businesses to eight figure ones.

Diana breaks down exactly how Profit First works: the five core accounts, why it mirrors the envelope system your grandparents used, and how to take the very first step this week with just one bank account and 1% of your revenue. She also shares a client story of a food industry business that nearly lost everything during COVID and has since grown to four times its original size using these principles, and she traces the very first Profit First model all the way back to Joseph in Genesis.

Whether you're bringing in solid revenue and still feel like you're scrambling every month, or you've never opened a second bank account in your life, this conversation will change the way you see your numbers.

In this episode:

• Why the bank balance is a false sense of security
• The five Profit First accounts and what each one is for
• How to start building a profit habit with just 1% this week
• Building a three month reserve before you hire your next employee
• A four year client transformation story
• What Joseph's seven years of storing grain teach us about reserves
• A little seed Diana plants about ACBW's next chapter possibly coming to Sarasota

Scriptures in this episode, look them up for yourself:
 Luke 16:10, 2 Kings 4, Genesis 41

In this episode of Kingdom LeadHERship, host Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne sits down with Lori Nolan, author, speaker, and founder of the Balanced Life Method, for a powerful conversation about what it really means to live well.

With three decades of experience in health and wellness, Lori shares how God gave her a life changing revelation: true healing doesn't start with the body, it starts with the spirit and soul. She unpacks her signature Balanced Life Method and the Seven Pillars of health (spirit, soul, nutrition, stress, sleep, fitness, relationships, and purpose), explaining why lasting transformation requires addressing the whole person, not just symptoms.

Together, Lori and Stacy Jo explore why so many women leaders neglect their own health while pouring into their businesses, ministries, and families, and why self-care isn't selfish, but an act of stewardship and obedience. Wholeness of spirit, soul, and body isn't a someday goal, it's an inheritance available today.

Whether you're leading a business, a ministry, or a household, this episode offers practical wisdom and biblical encouragement to help you stop running on empty and start leading from a place of wholeness.

In this episode:

• Lori's journey into health and wellness and how faith shaped her 30 year career
• The revelation that changed everything: healing from the inside out
• An overview of the Balanced Life Method's Seven Pillars
• Why women struggle to prioritize their own health, and how to overcome the guilt
• A simple first step anyone can take toward wellness today

Have you ever walked away from something everyone told you that you should want? A title, a salary, the whole picture of success you spent twenty five years building?

In this episode, Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne sits down with Krystal Parker, President and Founder of the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce and principal of Intent and Impact. Krystal was a Fortune 200 oil and gas executive, and she walked away from all of it to answer a different call. Her conviction is simple: businesses are the new mission field, especially in a world where seven out of ten people are not walking into a church.

From small town beginnings to a full surrender to Christ, Krystal shares the honest cost of obedience, how the Chamber grew into a movement of thirty four chambers and more than six hundred members, and a story about the Correct Craft boat company that will change how you think about what God can do through a business. Kingdom LeadHERs, if you have ever felt like you are living two lives, this one is for you. Your business may not be the thing standing between you and your ministry. It may be the ministry.

Scriptures in this episode, look them up for yourself:
 Colossians 3:23-24, Philippians 3:13-14
