Episode Summary

Today we begin a series on Emotional Intelligence, otherwise known as EQ. It todays episode I'll define what it is, give you some examples of High and Low EQ and dive a little bit into why it matters for our spiritual growth, success and overall happiness - yes happiness, through life's ups and downs.

This set of skills is responsible for being able to have close connections with others, knowing how to navigate life's hardest seasons well... it even directly effects our mental health, leadership skills, and physical health!

So... if you are ready to explore Emotional Intelligence with me, you will see your own increase steadily over the next few months! Slowly, deeply, in a lasting way you will grow in your confidence, health and peace.

As we conclude this month's theme, I take a moment and share some final thoughts from the heart. I know I can not solve the problem of singleness (but is it even really a "problem" to be solved?) nor can I remove the pain. Regardless, it's critical to trust God and obey Him, no matter how you feel. Why? Because God's will for you (and blessings for you) are bigger than your marital status.

Invite Rebekah to Speak at Your Event

In this episode let's talk about that small window of time when when you meet 'the one' and get married. This window of time is when I realized that I had to shift from fantasy to reality, give up control, and do the trust fall!

What do all those things mean, give this episode a listen and find out. It's even possible some of you married women have yet to make these critical shifts and it may be negatively affecting your marriage.

Real life is better than fantasy but many women don't even realize they are living in a fantasy world. Let's discuss! I promise, you will hear things today you haven't heard before. Make sure you let me know what you think!

Let's kick off our August Theme: Singleness with a heart-level, somewhat confrontational challenge from Rebekah to accept your singleness by allowing yourself to grieve. The church will not give this to you, friends, you will have to fight for it. In order to mourn, you will have to acknowledge the reality of loss, really name it. This will be hard but it's the gateway to healing, a deeper faith, and accepting the reality that God has for you.

So grieve...but also, there comes a time when you must arise and embrace the new land that God has for - this idea is taken from Joshua Chapter 1, when God allows His people to grieve but tells them to move on and take the promised land.

To all my single friends, divorced, widowed, single-never-been-married... you will have to fight the church to have your grief. But you will also have to Satan to not stay there and give into self-pity.

In this episode, Rebekah delves into the theology of rest, focusing on Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus invites those who are weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest for their souls. First, let's learn what each of these words mean... Labor... and Heavy Laden, because they are distinctly different and their definitions hit deep! Then, let's grasp what Jesus means when He says His "yolk is easy" and His "burden is light."
