The Messenger Movement: Faith, Leadership and Kindgom Business

Ya’ll are gonna love this episode, it left me full as a tick.
Ok, but seriously, if this is your first time tuning in that’s not my typical lingo or accent, but it only felt natural after spending the time in Indiana for my first traveling Podcast episode. This was a place of many childhood fond memories and when I knew I was headed there, I had to pack the mic and get one of my most favorite people in the world on the other end for your listening pleasure.
Kenzie is a gem. As she shares you’ll snag a sense of her incredible humor, you’ll enjoy her sweet authenticity and her humility.
She’s also kind of a bad ass. I know, I’m not sure that’s Jesus lingo, but he understands my heart when I say this. She’s a country girl in city heels. Guys, she has her own bear and antlers in her house alongside a killer wardrobe. (Wait, that wasn’t intended to be a pun, of course she has her hunting gear, but I was referring to her fashionista sense). And for those tuning in that are anti guns or a part of PETA or something like that…stop judging and hear a sister out. This isn’t a political bias and She may teach you a thing of two.
Having the pleasure of walking life out with people who are in different than you, in different seasons of life, with different hobbies, different view points, etc. gives you perspective but more importantly it gives you grounding to stand more firmly on your own two feet  while simultaneously giving others freedom to be themselves.
Kenzie and I are on different pages of our stories. Sometimes I feel like I’m chapters ahead, but other times her wisdom trumps me. I hope today you catch some of that wisdom for yourself.

Have you ever looked at a picture of yourself from years past and not recognized the person in the image? In reflection, are you a better version of that person or have you declined?
Are you pressured or weighed down by the highlight images you see of others? What are you overwhelmed by? Are you lost in the fog or have you been able to see the light?
As women you feel… A LOT. We are supposed to recognize and deal with the emotions, but we also can’t let them control us.
Today’s guess has used her emotional, mental, physical and spiritual bootcamps to establish a safe place for us to experience the overwhelm not as a crutch but a stepping stone to our ultimate best version of ourselves and our purposed life.
We have choices…we choose are commitment levels to our own health. We choose who we allow in our inner circle to better us and sometimes unfortunately break us down.
It’s up to us to Protect Our Energy…do you know how?
I hope Angela inspires you and teaches you as she did me in this time.

We always have a choice of mindset.
We always have an option of perspective.
As the very wise Brene Brown has taught me; We always have the ability to change the story we’re telling ourselves.
Ultimately, We always have the power to down shift and reset. Yet, we’re mostly a society running on E, wondering why our engines are coming to a screeching halt.
I’ve been the broken down engine needing a jump, in a Jesus take the wheel kind of scenario. But as I’ve learned the power of a sound mind, I’ve found that the mental adjustment applies even to the dimmest scenarios.
I’ve chosen to see the world not from the depression but the Renaissance. The well springs popping up. The newness. The life. It’s been an ironic flip of the script in so many areas of my life. Relationships, finances, mental and physical situation, churches, people - and it’s amazing because there are so many others also living in this new space of contentment - eager for more.
And when I think back on the story line of my testimony it’s truly the continuous silver lining of my life altering come to Jesus season and the link to how my ministry blossomed — honestly its the reason I’m alive.
Today’s podcast is a bit different. I’m not sharing with one other woman, I’m sharing with 60 at a women’s brunch in. When I heard the topic of the morning I knew it was a God wink in and of itself to discover this parallel.
Come, listen...be refreshed.

Our lives are moving a million miles a minute, yet we aim to not look dishelved, discombobulated or disoriented. 
We present. We perform. We practice. We please. We promise. We pamper. 
Yet we’re often operating on empty. 
Wouldn’t it be nice to live a life at rest at the feet of Jesus? Not needing to do or be all the things, but instead simply exist in where we are right now. 
Even just saying those words aloud sound freeing and relaxing. Resting at His feet. I can see Him now sitting in my living room, me on my knees below him, learning, listening, gleaning. 
But life is going. Time is ticking. Our kids are growing. Our relationships are evolving. People need us. We are not a stagnant society. We don’t know what rest means. 
So were at battle with our fleshly desires and our innate need. How then do we remain in Him when everywhere we turn tells us to do the opposite? How do we say Yes to Him when we live in a world of No’s?
Today’s lovely guest is Mary living in a Martha world. She would never deem herself as such, but as you listen to her story and hear her consistency, you too will understand why I am mesmerized by her ability to sit longer, to stay at His feet, and to say Yes to Him, even before she knows the question. May we all learn to be a little more like Mary…or in this situation like Meg.

We don’t often take the pause in life that we need; even when all of the signs are pointing to burn out or break down. But sometimes, the pause is needed even during a time of celebration and goodness. Simply to relish in gratitude and peace.
People perceive pause as a problem, when they should see it as a purpose.
We often create what is Man-made - but what about when something is God made? It’s miraculous. It’s undeniably unique. It’s breath taking. It’s foundational and transformational. But without listening, waiting, pausing, we will miss it at the pace we are going. Constantly hustling.
If we respond, act or deliver out of hustle vs heart we create a “me-centric” mission instead of a God-centered calling. If we are constantly desperate for what man has, we will lose sight of the greater love, access and peace that God has.
Today’s episode with Yasmina Prosser felt like a purpose God pause. A time to reflect and restore. Her mission and heart for women is in identity, authority and freedom. Her testimony is interwoven with each piece, in only a way that God could use for beauty.
Don’t settle for your what is good, settle for what is God. Seek Him and wait to move. Your pause may unveil your purpose.

We’ve heard emotions are fleeting. But have you ever considered that those emotional decisions can cause lasting scars? Scars on the body, the mind, and the soul; not only on others, but also self-inflicted? It’s imperative when we are asked, when we are tossed to and fro, when we are rejected, when we are burnt, when we are hurt and broken and when we are lonely - that our actions and words come only after consultation. 
We are imperfect. There’s no getting around it. But we have the phone number, the hashtag, the google search bar to the one with the answers, the calm, the collected, the all knowing.
As today’s guest so solidly declared the truth that “No one has commodity over the voice of God”.  Ask and He will Answer. Seek and You will Find.  Instead of taking a monocular view on the situation, the relationship, the pain, or the problem, seek the binocular lens alongside our creator who will point your eyes in the direction of your intended path verse your emotional desire.
Sitting with a friend who I can equally call a pastor and brother, who’s music opens the minds and hearts of unbelievers, who’s life is a living testimony to God moves vs. man moves; I felt wiser after we ended the conversation. And my hope is that you will too.
Also listen until the end to tune in to Jay’s incredible voice and song Untainted Love.
And be sure to follow Jay to find where he will speak, sing, or share locally next - you will benefit from the overflow and surely gain a new binocular perspective on the heart of God.

We just have to step out of our comfort zone to actually start in order to believe we are capable, in order to see the results, in order to understand that we already have the power within us and the tools on our belt to succeed.
After you begin the belief starts to set in. The beginning transformation initializes roots to form in the habit, in the practice, in the sub conscious and ultimately in the heart.
Once you believe, you step into the modification zone of fully becoming. The metamorphosis phases into the state of awe that is no longer simply internal, but has re-designed what onlookers see too.
Once you become - you finally begin to be. Being is the state of knowing and recognizing. It’s the place of rest, but also the place of constant desire to BE the next best version of ourselves.
Today’s guest, Hayley Perschau, focuses her life around 3 key areas of constantly becoming. Being Present. Being Connected. And Being Authentic.
 
Tune in so you too can fully Be. And if anything, This may be the driving force to help you begin.

We could root ourselves in the identity of what we are best at or we could choose to root ourselves in Who created us to be our best.
There’s a constant push and pull power struggle between expectation, progression, and achievement verses rest and recovery. So often we find ourselves emotionally and physically compensating, misaligned and sometimes even broken, all because we aren’t taught and we don’t practice the skill of lingering.
I could tell you today’s podcast is with a star athlete, and a William & Mary Alum, who has ran almost 1000 races in her 30 years of track. I could tell you she’s a personal trainer for some of our country’s ultimate protectors. I could tell you she was the nutritionist and fitness guru that flipped an invaluable switch in my own understanding of fitness, working out and the value of being in the kitchen.
But that wouldn’t sum up the identity of this joy giving, passion pursuing, Godly woman of intentionality.  You’ve heard it said before “though she be but little she is fierce.” This sums up this mighty wellness warrior.
Get ready, You’re going to want to take notes on this one!

We all have limiting beliefs. We all know what it’s like to be anxious. We all have experienced failure. We all tell ourselves stories that are only figments of our own imagination, not actual truth.
Where, when and how in all of those mental and emotional struggles do we find the time stand up, get off the cyclical rat wheel, get a little brave and face our fears?
Today’s guest is a rock star. She’s a business babe with her own awesome clothing boutique, but even greater than that, she’s a voice in our community teaching us by action and through her words that we can all live fearlessly!
After our conversation I feel empowered to go home and huge my hubby, kiss my babes, take some time out for myself, better my ministry and go for a run. Yes, I got all of that motivation in 1 hour.
 
Whether in marriage, motherhood, girlfriends, business, or just being our own advocate for our relationship with our self - Tatiana speaks with wisdom and boldness in giving us each the freedom to soar above what has previously taken us down.

We all are a bit prodigal in different areas of our life. Running from the light because it can be vulnerable and scary. However, in the end the darkness is where monsters exist and nightmares are formed. As mothers, we know this common analogy by way of night terrors, sweats or broken sleep with our kiddos. But as adults we have an opportunity to choose where our minds and hearts go.
Just as the waves toss the stone through rough currents and conditions, life has a way of grasping hold of us trying to cause damage and brokenness. But God, our good, graceful, and purposed Father has a way of turning stones to pearls. He has a way of turning prodigals to princesses. 
Liz Anderson, mother to 3, wife to Paul, creative business owner and heart driven ministry leader, brings all of the stones to the surface, giving way to the testimony of not what anchors her, but WHO anchors her. Stay tuned for truth surrounding this woman’s Cinderella Princess transformation.
