I’ve been stuck in my prayer time lately. I know God hears me, and I know He already knows the desires of my heart. That’s my problem: it feels like I’m playing the same recorded prayer every day over and over.

There are times when I genuinely think that praying for a miracle is too much to ask. I tend to think God knows what I want, and He knows how to perform a miracle… but what I am asking for is impossible.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking these same thoughts, I hope you find some answers in this episode.

I am talking with Amy Joob about her prayer devotional: Unstuck Step into the New: A 40 Day Prayer Journal.

Amy shares personal stories and verses that have helped her. She also asks thought-provoking questions that will help you break free from all the areas where we can feel stuck in our walk with God.

Amy will outline the steps to getting unstuck so that you can move forward into the new that God has for you and wants to give you.

In this episode, I will be talking with Radio Host and Worship Ministry Consultant Donna Renay Patrick about the importance of praise and worship.

Praise and worship is the thing the enemy hates the most. He goes to great lengths to keep us from praising God.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝-𝟏𝟗 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩:

•  𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡
• 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧-𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧.

What we might have missed in all this is that there are many more ways to praise than singing.

She will tell us that there are only two places that you can praise God: ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE!

Donna will open our minds to how intentional worship can transform not only the leadership in our church but also the calling in our lives.

In this episode, Sue Donaldson will share her passion for connecting people. She will explain that simply meeting with others and listening to them is mentoring them. Do that around a table with cups of coffee and some brownies and you have what Sue calls table mentoring, where we can draw others to who God really is.

Sue will share that the heart of mentoring is:

• Coming alongside others
• Sharing how God has comforted you 
• Turning their eyes back to God 

When we open up to others, it prompts them to open up to God.

What does confidence mean?

If I could simply take control of my confidence, wouldn't I have it by now? But we were not created to lean on our own understanding.

This episode, I will share three quotes I found on self-confidence and compare them to what the Bible tells us.

1. Confidence is something you create within yourself by believing in who YOU are.
2. I need to look inside myself and believe in my skills and abilities.
   3. Self-confidence is a super power. Once you start to believe in yourself, magic starts happening.

When I don’t believe in my abilities, don’t want others to know who I am, and don’t like myself most days, these quotes make confidence seem impossible.

I am so glad I have a creator that tells me to look to Him and that with Him all things are possible.

Are you a Highly Sensitive Person?  

If you don’t know what that is or your instinctive response was like mine, you might be saying “No way!” Maybe you believe – like I used to – that someone who’s highly sensitive is weak.

In this episode Cheri Gregory will share the 5 defining qualities of HSPs:

1. HSPs need time to process.
2. HSPs are easily over-stimulated.
3. HSPs feel things intensely.
4. HSPs are highly empathetic.
5. HSPs notice nuances.

She will share why some people (like me) are horrified to think about being an HSP and why others feel relief (like her).

We’ll also share the links so that you can take the quiz, join the Sensitive and Strong Cafe and sign up for Cheri’s group coaching program called Growing Sensitive & Strong: 5 Truth-Steps to HSP Freedom

Would you trust how you looked if you woke up and got ready for your day without relying on a mirror?

I know I wouldn’t – I rely on a mirror all day, checking for hairs out of place, something in my teeth, and making sure what I’m wearing is well-adjusted and covering what it should.

Just like using a mirror can keep us in check, relying on God's word keeps us in check by reminding us of areas that we need to clean up every day.

James 1:20-24 reminds us that we are to '𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒓𝒊𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔, 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒔.

Today I talk to Monica Schmelter, host of the Christian Television Network’s daily program “Bridges.”

Although Monica wasn’t raised in a Christian home, God began laying the foundation for her ministry in her early teens. Monica shares with us how she learned the lesson found in James while her bathroom was in the middle of a remodel.

Is consistently reading your Bible sometimes a struggle?

Do you ever feel like you aren’t getting as much out of your time immersed in the Word as you might like?

As busy Christian women, there are many obstacles in our lives that can keep us from reading the Bible.

For me, it is feeling distracted or too tired.

For others it is busyness or lack of motivation.

The enemy has many tactics to keep us from spending time in the Word in order to keep us from falling in love with our Father.

In this episode my guest Brittany Ann wants to show you how to read your Bible consistently and truly enjoy your time in God's Word. will walk us through:

In this episode I talk with Ginny Owens about her new book, 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌: 𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒑𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆, and how we can carry hope with us even when our story turns out differently than we hoped.

As a blind singer who sings in literal darkness, Ginny wants to share the encouraging message that anyone can learn to find a melody in dark and lonely seasons. Ginny will inspire you to find your own way to weave music into your story.

She will also share:

Learn a new song.       

“Just having another song to turn to when the noise of doubt, pain and frustration gets overwhelming in our heads.”

 Praying through the words and asking the Holy Spirit to reveal what the deeper meaning is.

“The more you read the scriptures the more you see in it.”

Hearing God’s words and using our words to talk to him about what He is saying to us.

“When you can memorize it then you can meditate on it.”

She will also share how we can immerse ourselves in the songs that God sings over us, as well as the story of her life and how God’s word both informs and changes our own lives.

I know that this message will encourage you. Share it with a friend

• What I’m good at doing is no longer necessary. I feel like I’ve been discarded. Where do I even fit in anymore?
• I’m starting over in unfamiliar territory, I feel so overwhelmed.
• I'm so busy with working, homeschooling and trying to keep up the house. Who I am has gotten lost in all I do.
• I don't think I would even know where to start trying to maximize my life.

Do you resonate with these statements?

With everything that keeps us so busy, transitions in our lives and roles that are changing or ending, maximizing seems like one more thing to work on.

What are you busy with that keeps you believing that who you are is lost in what you are doing?

Today, I'm going solo. In this episode, I want to share with you why our definition of "maximizing our lives" might be the very thing sabotaging our belief that it's even possible.

In this episode, I will be talking with Bethany Howard. She will confirm that when it comes to living out the purpose God has placed in you, permission has already been granted.

Bethany was the very first person I ever interviewed on a FaceBook Live and for that interview she wrote a special poem for my audience titled 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫.

She will read her poem and share the joy we can experience when we fully surrender to the permission we have been granted.

Bethany likens it to stopping the kicking and flailing in uncertain waters and instead floating in the knowledge that God's got this.
