Thriving in Christ | Burnout, Stress, Leadership, Faith & High Performance

Sometimes, the parts of ourselves we’ve learned to silence are the very parts God is inviting us to rediscover.

For years, Chel Cartmill, Next Chapter Transition Specialist & Coach, learned to survive by being the peacemaker and the "good girl" to keep everything together. But through heartbreak, injustice, and 30 hours in jail - after calling for help - God began unraveling the beliefs that kept her living from fear instead of truth.

This Renewal Conversation reveals Chel’s powerful story and encourages us all to step fully into being the women God created us to be.

Because, like an oak tree that never apologizes for the space it was created to fill, we were never meant to shrink from the life God designed for us.

In this conversation, you'll discover:
✨ How difficult transitions can uncover the identity God designed for you.
✨ Why your body’s signals may reveal more than you realize.
✨ The important difference between your skills, talents, and God-given gifts.
✨ How to discern your next faithful step when the path is unclear.

The Bible verse that guides Chel to put love for God and others at the center of her life is: Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ~ 1 Peter 4:10

It’s easy to feel behind when everyone else seems to be moving ahead - perhaps achieving more, or receiving the opportunities you’ve been praying for. But comparison doesn’t mean you’re failing - it may simply be an invitation to return to the path God has uniquely marked out for you.

In this week’s Centering Reset episode, discover how rooting your identity in Christ can quiet the pressure to keep up and help you move forward with greater peace and clarity.

Key Points in this RESET episode:
✨ Why comparison affects even faithful, accomplished leaders.
✨ How comparison quietly fuels anxiety, self-doubt, and perfectionism.
✨ What Scripture teaches about staying focused on your unique calling.
✨ How to discern whether an opportunity is truly meant for you.

As strong women we often keep serving and leading while carrying grief, doubt, or pain that no one sees. This becomes its own burden, and can make us feel isolated.

After a devastating loss shook her faith, Melissa Harrison, President & CEO of 4word, discovered that healing began when one woman had the courage to remove the "mask" and share.

Her story reveals why vulnerability isn’t a weakness in leadership, as it’s what gives others permission to be honest, seek support, and heal.

Melissa also shares about the upcoming 4word Boldly Conference for Christian women passionate about work and faith, which is happening in Dallas in October, which you don't want to miss (see below for a coupon code).

In this conversation, you'll discover:
✨ How high-achieving women often hide their deepest struggles.
✨ How vulnerability can transform the way women lead and connect.
✨ What makes a community feel truly safe and supportive.
✨ Why listening can be more healing than offering solutions.

The Bible verse that encourages Melissa to trust God in every season is: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." ~ Romans 8:28 NKJV

If you’re the person everyone else depends on, this conversation is the permission you need to let someone show up for you.

There are seasons when nothing seems obviously wrong, yet something inside no longer feels the same. We continue accomplishing our responsibilities, meeting expectations, and serving others, but the joy, peace, and sense of purpose that once flowed so naturally begin to fade.

Our culture tells us that the answer is to work harder, become more productive, or find a better system. Jesus offers a very different invitation. Before He asks us to bear fruit, He invites us to remain connected to Him, because lasting transformation has always flowed from relationship, not striving.

In this week's Centering Reset, we'll explore why we quietly lose our sense of flow, what psychology teaches us about fragmented attention, and how abiding in Christ restores the clarity, peace, and fruitfulness our souls long for.

Key Points in this RESET episode:
✨ Flow begins with connection, not performance.
✨ Striving fragments. Abiding restores.
✨ Christ is the source of sustainable capacity.
✨ Stay connected, and let His life flow through you.

For many of us, Monday morning can feel like a tug-of-war between our professional ambitions, personal responsibilities, and the desire to be still and follow God.

And we know intellectually that work doesn't have to compete with faith - nonetheless, at times it can feel that way.

This is one of the places God invites us to live out boldly.

In this Renewal Conversation, Brittany Gaskill, Director of Programs & Partnerships for 4word, offers a refreshing vision for bringing your whole faith into your everyday work.

Together, we explore the pressures Christian women face and what becomes possible when women stop navigating their careers alone.

Brittany also shares about the upcoming 4word Boldly Conference for Christian women passionate about work and faith, which is happening in Dallas in October, which you don't want to miss.

In this conversation, we uncover:
✨ Making our workplace a mission field.
✨ Surrendering our career and calendar to God.
✨ Practical spiritual rhythms to help stay grounded throughout your day.
✨ Strengthening our calling through community and Scripture.

The Bible verse that reminds Brittany to use her God-given gifts, faithfully, is this: "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." ~ 1 Peter 4:10

There comes a point when giving becomes so natural that receiving almost feels uncomfortable. We faithfully care for our work, our families, our teams, and our calling, yet slowly begin believing that nurturing our own soul can wait until everything else is done.

But God never designed renewal to be something we earn after we finish serving.

And in this week's Centering Reset, we'll explore why nurturing ourselves is not a luxury but a spiritual discipline, and how connection with Christ offers daily replenishment.

Key Points in this RESET episode:
✨ Nurturing is not selfish. It is faithful stewardship.
✨ We flourish when we receive before we give.
✨ Sustainable leadership grows from deep spiritual roots.
✨ Christ nurtures us so we can nurture others.

Following God’s direction often requires trusting Him before we can see where He is leading.

When Mandy Horne, Registered Nurse & Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and her husband sensed God calling them toward a major change, they did something radical: they sold all their furniture - even before they knew where they were going.

What happened next became a powerful lesson in surrender, discernment, and the doors that open when we stop placing limits on God’s direction.

Drawing from 25 years in nursing, Mandy now helps midlife Christian women reconnect with their identity in Christ, restore their physical and emotional well-being, and rise into what God is calling them toward next.

In this conversation, you'll discover:
✨ How to trust God one small step at a time.
✨ The most important piece of discerning the Lord's direction.
✨ How to reconnect with your true identity while moving through points of transition.
✨ A Scripture-breathing practice that will calm the mind & body, and anchor you in God’s presence.

The Bible verse that helps Mandy establish a grounding of God's peace is this: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters." - Psalm 23 NKJV

Most of us don't struggle because we lack desire. We struggle because we've been taught to rely on intensity instead of healthy rhythms. When life becomes demanding, we push harder, recover briefly, and repeat the same exhausting cycle, wondering why lasting change feels so difficult.

God designed growth differently.

In this week's Centering Reset, we'll explore so much, including why the life you long for begins with the rhythms you choose today.

Key Points in this RESET episode:
✨ Healthy rhythms are stronger than occasional motivation.
✨ Small daily practices create lasting transformation.
✨ Sustainable renewal grows through consistency, not intensity.
✨ God forms us through faithful rhythms, one day at a time.

Welcome to September! Seasons of transition often invite us to reconsider what success means and whether the path we’re pursuing still reflects the purpose God has placed within us.

And sometimes, the next chapter isn’t just about climbing higher, but using our gifts to make a greater difference.

And this is what Tracey Newell, Champion for Women in the C-Suite & Best-Selling Author, shares with us in this Renewal Conversation.

She discovered through a little bit of patience and a lot of soul-searching that pursuing a bold vision doesn’t mean running yourself into the ground.

Instead, dreaming big requires courage and a solid spiritual foundation in God.

When ambition is shaped by prayer, reflection, and God’s direction, our goals become more than accomplishments - they become part of a life that feels purposeful and aligned.

In this conversation, you'll discover:
✨ What to consider before saying yes to a new job.
✨ Why your personal and spiritual needs belong on your calendar.
✨ How to discover and pursue your biggest dreams without fear.
✨ How stillness with God brings clarity in a noisy world.

The Bible verse that gives Tracey courage and strength is this: "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." - Psalm 46:10 NIV

Our culture teaches us that motivation comes first and action follows. Yet some of the most important decisions we make every day have very little to do with motivation and everything to do with the quiet strength of the will.

The will allows us to choose what is good and faithful, even when our emotions are tired, resistant, or uncertain

And as we practice using our God-given will, our feelings can begin to follow where faith has already led.

Key Points in this RESET episode:
✨ The will is stronger than motivation.
✨ Action often creates motivation.
✨ One small step can change the direction of your life.
✨ Faith grows through faithful decisions.
