  • 16. REWIND: Financial RESET

    Have you ever had to do a reset in your life? I mean, a total control-alt-delete?  For us, typically, a reset means “What does God have to say about this,” or how does this align with the will or the word of God. This even applies to finances.

    Why is that? Because God knows that our attitude toward money is an indication of where our heart is with God. We will either follow after gold or God, and we cannot serve two masters. So we will either turn to our wallets or our worship when we look to the source of our security. But we have to remember: Money is a resource, not your Source.

    In this episode, we have a candid discussion about:

    • Having a financial mindset that is consistent with God
    • Examining your financial situation and your spiritual mindset  
    • Trinity Financial Coaching sponsors the Abundant Living Podcast. We help financially uncertain professional women of faith confidently transform their cash flow to wealth while living abundantly.

        • 13. Self-Care & Leisure: Luxury or Necessity?

          Do you rest after a hard day of work or after a day full of tiring tasks? Do you schedule personal or private time with yourself? Just you, so that you can chill and rejuvenate to be ready for the next thing on your list?  What about leisure time? What does leisure time mean to you? Do you treat yourself to your favorite activity free of guilt, appreciating the pleasure it brings you? If you don’t, you should.  We all need to practice self-care and schedule leisure time to take on the responsibilities we face each day successfully.  We have the perfect model of doing so. Genesis 2:1-3 tells us that God finished His work in creation then He rested.  He took the time to chill, appreciated what he created, and ready Himself for what was coming next.  We need to learn to do the same, so we can enjoy the abundance of God while living healthy, productive, and stress-free lives.

          In this episode, we discuss:

          • Self-Care and its importance in our lives
          • Impacts of Self-Care on our lives
          • Describe the benefits of Self-Care
          • Define Leisure and how it differs from Self-Care
          • Ways to include Self-Care and Leisure time in your financial plan

            We invite you to listen to this powerful episode and be assured that God will help you each step of the way.   We will discuss:

            • Why God is the owner and we are managers of His resources?

            • 11. Lessons From The Father: Part 1

              This is the special time of the year when we celebrate our earthly fathers and honor them for loving, covering, protecting and providing for us. This is not only what we receive from our earthly father but also from God The Father.   He is our ultimate creator and provider.   At times our earthly fathers may err in their ways but never God the Father so we must always honor Him whole heartedly.

              God The Father blessed our earthly fathers to bring us into this world and with that came a charge to care for, love and provide for us.  That does not always happen and can result in bad relationships between us and our fathers.   So bad that it can impact our relationship with God.  But because God is perfect in His ways we cannot allow what our earthly fathers do, who are subject to err, cause us to move away from our closeness to God.

              We invite you to listen to this week's episode, “Letters From The Father Part 1” and experience how this dynamic can occur and what we must do to reconcile ourselves with God.   I share my experience with this and discuss how God helped me to right my errors.  Listen and be assured that He can help you also.   We will discuss:

              • What things are you allowing to come between you and God The Father?
              • Do you trust God completely or depend on self where you think He is not present?
              • Did God have to remind you to reconcile with Him?   Did He have to wait on you?
              • A WORD FROM WESLIA and WILLA

                We believe in living abundantly in Christ and not allowing money or the needs of life to pull your focus from the gracious God who gives us all the ability to produce wealth. Our goal for you is faith in Christ, trust in God and confidence in yourself in all areas of your life.

                • 9. Creating A Vision For Yourself

                  Now that you know your vision of wealth and who you want to be, don’t be deterred by others.   Stay the course!

                  Habakkuk 2:2-3

                  “ Write the vision make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.    For the vision is yet for an appointed time;  But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.   Though it tarries, wait for it;  Because it will surely come, it will not tarry.     (NKJV)

                  And then God answered: “Write this. Write what you see.  Write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run.  This vision-message is a witness  pointing to what’s coming.  It aches for the coming—it can hardly wait!  And it doesn’t lie.  If it seems slow in coming, wait.   It’s on its way. It will come right on time.    (MSG)

                  The vision that I have for myself is ordained of God.    He has given me clarity, my goals are set and I am moving forward.   I will not let those who don’t see it for me deter me.

                  This can be your personal view toward your vision for yourself.  Everyone will not always see things the way you do.   They are not looking through the lenses you are so they may not see what you see.   On this episode we are discussing how to develop and stay strong as you carry out your personal vision from God.

                  This conservation will help strengthen your resolve to stay the course on your vision of financial transformation.   We will discuss:

                  • How to create the right vision for yourself
                  • Thinking positive in the midst of those who don’t believe
                  • How to recognize when a change is needed
                  • How to deal with the inevitable criticism
                  • A WORD FROM WESLIA and WILLA

                    We believe in living abundantly in Christ and not allowing money to pull your focus from the gracious God who gives us all the ability to produce wealth. Our goal for you is faith in Christ and confidence in managing your finances according to the Word of God.

                    What is impacting your financial decision making?   Are you driven by how money was managed early in your life?    Do you believe you can manage your finances differently and get the outcome you desire?

                    Commit to the Lord whatever you do and your plans will succeed”.       Proverbs 22:7

                    During our conversation about Overcoming Limiting Financial Beliefs, we identify and address many of the money blocks which hold people back from  living in the abundance of God and from attaining the wealth they desire.

                    • Identifying common limiting beliefs regarding money
                    • Where they come from
                    • How they impact our financial decisions.

                    • 7: Amy Nelson: How I Paid Off $142,500 in Debt in 3 years

                      If you borrow money with interest, you’ll end up serving the interest of your creditors, for the rich rule over the poor.  Proverbs 22:7 (The Passion Translation)

                      During our conversation with Amy Nelson, Financial Empowerment Advocate, she demonstrated the steps vital to recognize who’s best interest you are serving when managing your finances.   Amy took us through her journey of paying off $142,500 in debt from the point of recognizing that something needed to be done through the payoff process.  Then she went on to share the peace of mind she is experiencing today as she realizes that her money decisions are working in her best interest.

                      Amy believes that abundant living is having the freedom to make your own choices.   In this episode we discuss her journey and her next steps.    They include:

                        We believe in living abundantly in Christ and not allowing money to pull your focus from the gracious God who gives us all the ability to produce wealth.    Our goal for you is faith in Christ, confidence in managing your finances according to the Word of God so that your choices will serve your best interest and not those of any lender.

                        Bye for now and remember to put God first in all your financial decisions as you manage your money confidently, love life and live abundantly!
