087 // Feeling Culturally Held Back as an Empowered Christian Woman? 3 Limitations that Aren’t Biblical

Being an empowered woman is challenging, especially when we’re up against certain cultural expectations - many of which are considered acceptable norms. But the truth is that, where women are concerned, the world is directly contrary to the Bible in several areas (despite how it's sometimes interpreted). In other words, the Bible says one thing while the world is telling us the exact opposite. Join me as I zero in on three of these areas to help you find clarity, peace, and major breakthroughs.

084 // Unsure How to Partner with God? Ease Your Struggle by Implementing These 2 Key Practices

How we partner with God determines a lot in our walk with Him. Sure, God can supernaturally provide for His kids. (And often does!) But, holistically, He wants us to partner *with* Him as we also depend *on* Him. God values His relationship with us, and also wants us to be actively involved in His Kingdom work. But what exactly does it mean to partner with God? What does that look like on a daily basis? Join me as I share two key practices that will provide clarity and set you up for success!

Following Jesus requires stepping out of our comfort zone and taking risks. Easier said than done, right? And it can be especially challenging if we’re worried about repeating history.

081 // 3 Reasons Why It’s Vital to See Your Identity as a Christian Woman Through God’s Lens - Not Your Own

Truly understanding our identity in Christ, and owning it like a boss, leads to being a princess versus a pawn; empowered versus excluded; and victorious versus victimized. The trick, however, is having a clear and truthful picture of our identity. This requires focusing on God’s truth, and our identity in Christ, versus our own beliefs, perspectives, and experiences. Why is this so vital? And what are the consequences if we don’t? Join me as I share three, interconnected answers to those very questions - and much more!

080 // Trusting God’s Plan (Part 3): The Calling. Embracing the Brave, Winding Road to Your God-Given Dream

Sometimes God puts us on a road that seems to be taking us further from our dreams. For example, last spring, God called me to write a book. Then several months later, in addition to job hunting, He placed me in a long-distance relationship and called me to move across the country. As a result, I had to set aside Relate Escape for over a year. But guess what? God wasn’t being illogical. His plan is just bigger than mine. Join me as I share what God’s done since the move; how it aligns with my calling; and how you, too, can walk that long, winding road - and trust God - even when it feels as if you’re moving in the wrong direction.

079 // Trusting God’s Plan (Part 2): The Breakup. When You Realize Your Man Isn’t the One God Has for You

Have you ever been in a relationship that took an unexpected turn or suddenly fell apart? I recently moved 2,000 miles to the town where my then boyfriend lived, only for the relationship to end soon after my arrival. This was partly due to the state of the relationship, and partly due to the fact that God specifically told me to back away and leave my man in His hands. On one hand, the breakup felt sudden and unexpected. Plus, how could I end things when my boyfriend was clearly not in a good place? But upon reflection, I realized that God never meant the relationship to be permanent, and that He was protecting my well-being by telling me that my role was finished. Join me as I share more about the relationship and its end; how God called me to step away and why it was so important that I obey Him; and how the relationship played into His overall plans for both me and my ex.
