#197// Why That “Proven System” Didn’t Work For You — And What Actually Does.

You’ve downloaded the PDFs. You’ve watched the replays. You’ve bought the “proven system” everyone swears by.

And yet… your business still isn’t moving. 😩

You’re not lazy. You’re not behind. And you’re definitely not crazy.

You’ve just been trying to build with a pattern only — without the live guidance, community, and Spirit-led strategy that actually gets results for Kingdom women.

And here’s the truth nobody tells you:
A proven framework alone is just a starting point. It’s not the result. And when the “system” you’re following wasn’t built for Christian women who refuse to compromise their faith, it can tempt you to lower your standards just to “make it work.”

No, ma’am. That’s not how we do it in the Kingdom.

In this episode, you'll learn:
✅ Why every online business system boils down to the same 5 components (and why they STILL don’t work without two key extras).

✅ The Biblical blueprint for taking a pattern and turning it into results (hint: Moses didn’t just get a plan — he got God’s presence and Spirit-filled artisans to help him build).

✅ How to stop strategy-hopping and finally launch the business God’s given you.

✅ Why like-minded, like-spirited Kingdom women are your secret weapon to staying on mission and not negotiating your values.

✅ What to look for in a business program so you stop wasting money on empty promises.

Friend, your problem isn’t motivation. It’s that no one has shown you how to take a proven framework and actually implement it — with live support, biblical values, and the kind of community that holds you accountable to the vision God’s given you.

You don’t need another cookie-cutter course. You need a faith-filled plan, the right coach, and sisters who will lock arms with you so you can launch without swirl, burnout, or compromise.

That’s exactly what we’re breaking down in today’s conversation. So grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!

#196// You Want to Make Money Online, God’s Way, But Everything You’re Trying Isn’t Working.

You’ve said yes to the call. You’re showing up with heart, hard work, and holy obedience. But where’s the fruit?

You’re trying all the things — posting, planning, praying — but still feel stuck in start mode. No consistent income. No clarity. And certainly, no strategy that’s working in the real world.

You’re starting to wonder: “Did I miss something? Or is this just not going to work for me?”

Listen, I get it. You’re not lazy or behind. You’re just trying to build without a proven framework. And that’s exactly what we’re talking about in this new episode:

How to make your first $1K in business — without the burnout, hustle, or swirl.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
The mindset shift every faith-driven woman must make around making money online.

The 3 keys that will unlock your first (and next) $1K in business: a clear offer, audience strategy, and systems that actually work.

Why trying to figure it all out alone is the very thing keeping you stuck.

The trap of investing in endless courses without real results (and how to shift into action).

How faith-first mentorship can be the very thing God uses to bring your vision to life.

Your problem isn’t motivation. It’s that no one’s handed you the real plan.

You’re not crazy. You’re not confused. You’re just stuck in swirl — and swirl is not strategy.

You don’t need another generic masterclass or DIY course. You need a clear, step-by-step, faith-filled plan to launch the business God gave you. One that works in real life, with real accountability, and real Holy Spirit fire behind it.

That’s what I’m breaking down in today’s conversation. And if you’re ready to stop circling and start building — in peace, in power, and in partnership with God — this one’s for you. So grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!

#195// You Know You’re Called. But When the Fruit Isn’t There, You Start to Wonder: Did I Even Hear Him Right?

You’ve prayed. You’ve journaled. You said “yes” to God. Lots of times.

So why does it still feel like you’re stuck in neutral?

You’ve been showing up for this business — for this Kingdom calling — but when you look around, it’s crickets. No real momentum. No consistent income. No engagement that feels like traction.

And you’re starting to wonder: “Did I even hear God right?”

Sis, that fear is real. I’ve felt it too. But here’s what I need you to know right now:

💯 You can hear God.
💯 You didn’t miss Him.
💯 And this stuck season doesn’t mean the assignment is void.

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper Podcast, I’m unpacking 5 powerful truths that will anchor you in confidence, restore your clarity, and help you finally move forward in faith — knowing you ARE hearing God, and you DO have what it takes to walk this calling out.

In this episode, you'll discover:
✅ Why your business “not working” doesn’t mean you heard wrong — and how to tell the difference between testing and redirection.

✅ How to train your ear to hear God’s voice using the Word — even if you’ve been doubting for months (or years).

✅ The telltale difference between the voice of the enemy and the voice of God (this one truth alone could break the swirl today).

✅ What to do if you’re stuck in “false start” cycles — always pivoting, never producing — and how to build steady momentum instead.

✅ Why “I can’t hear God” might really be fear in disguise — and how to get honest, get aligned, and get moving anyway.

Sis, it’s not that you didn’t hear Him. It’s that you’re scared to move.

Real talk? Sometimes “I don’t know if I heard God” is just fear in a faith costume. It’s safer to say “I’m unsure” than it is to take the next bold step. But obedience requires movement — even when you’re trembling.

You’ve got to stop repainting the vision every time a launch falls flat. God hasn’t changed His mind. He’s waiting on your yes to move again.

And guess what? You don’t have to figure this all out alone.

So, Sis . . . if you're ready to step into the truth that you DO hear God, and you're willing to take the bold steps in faith that will get you to the acceleration, momentum, and fruitfulness you've been praying for, then I invite you to – Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!

This 3-day live workshop is where faith meets strategy. Where clarity replaces confusion. Where we walk through my BUILD with Faith Framework step-by-step — so you can finally launch the business God called you to with confidence, clarity, and peace.

#194 // You're Called. You're Capable. But You're Still Stuck. Why?

You've got the vision. You've prayed the prayers. You've declared, decreed, journaled, and planned. You even said yes to God — out loud — to launch this business.

So why does it feel like you're still circling the start line?

You're not lazy, my friend. That's for SURE! And you're not unclear. You didn't miss God. But you're also not moving forward. Ouch!

Sis, you're not the only one. So many ambitious, faith-driven women are sitting right where you are right now — full of potential but stalled in "start mode."

And more often than not? It's not about your mindset or your motivation. It's about the myths you've been building on.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 common myths that keep faith-based entrepreneurs stuck spinning their wheels — and showing you how to finally bust them so you can launch your God-given business for real this time.

Listen in as we talk about:
✅ The difference between a business and a highly committed hobby — and why that distinction matters more than you think.

✅ 3 subtle but destructive myths that sound spiritual or strategic... but are actually keeping you stuck in neutral.

✅ Why hustle isn't holy, and how alignment with a faith-first framework will move you farther than any trendy strategy ever could.

✅ What it really means to build WITH God — and how to know the very next step He's asking you to take.

✅ The one decision you must make if you're serious about launching a real business that actually generates revenue and impact.

Here's the truth: If God called you TO it, He's going to bring you THROUGH it. He didn't call you to launch a business so He could ghost you at the start line.

He promises to go before you and be with you every step of the way (see Deuteronomy 31:8). But He also requires your obedience, your movement, and your partnership.

You don't need more free downloads, another strategy from YouTube University, or a prettier brand board. You need clarity. You need a framework. You need a mentor who knows how to help you launch this thing God's way — for real.

So, Sis — are you ready to stop circling the mountain and finally build the thing? If you know it's time to break the cycle of "stuckness" and actually start BUILDING this thing in the here and now, then I want you to – Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!

#193 // You said yes to God’s call. You surrendered your plans. You’re doing your best to build the vision He gave you. So why does it feel like it’s killing you?

The long nights. The constant second-guessing. The nagging fear that maybe you weren’t cut out for this after all. You’re pouring out in obedience, but inside? You’re dry. Exhausted. And secretly wondering: "What if this assignment takes me out before I even see the fruit?"

Sis, I hear you. And more importantly—God sees you.

Here’s the truth: This isn’t about your faith not being strong enough or your capacity being too small. You didn’t mishear God. And you’re not failing.

You’re just carrying your calling the wrong way. 😳

In this episode, I’m exposing 5 hidden reasons why your purpose feels like it’s breaking you instead of building you—and I’m showing you how to flip the script so you can walk boldly, fully alive, and free in the assignment God placed on your life.

Listen in as we talk about:
✅ The 5 “killer” mindsets that make your purpose feel like a burden instead of a blessing.

✅ How self-doubt and striving are wearing you out—and the Spirit-led antidote that brings peace and power.

✅ Why your words about your calling may be planting seeds of burnout (see Proverbs 18:21).

✅ The one shift that will help you move from hustle and heaviness to holy hard work that feels life-giving.

✅ The biblical blueprint for walking in your purpose with clarity, confidence, and Kingdom impact.

Are you ready to stop striving and start building WITH God? Sis, this isn’t “too much” for you. You’re not too late. And you are absolutely not disqualified.

If you know it's time to break the cycle of overwork, self-criticism, and spiritual exhaustion—and embrace a way of walking in your purpose that feels like abundant life, not burnout, then I want you to – Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!

192// You’ve started the business God told you to build — not once, not twice, but more times than you can count. So why does it feel like it’s still stuck on the runway?

Every relaunch, every rebrand, every “this time I’m serious” feels like it fizzles before the wheels even lift. You’re exhausted from trying to DIY your way to breakthrough. You’re secretly wondering if maybe you’re not cut out for this — or worse, if you somehow misheard God.

But hear me: you didn’t mishear Him. And you’re not failing. You’re missing a Spirit-led blueprint and the right support to finally launch with clarity and confidence.

This episode? It’s your lifeline. Your confirmation. Your hope that all this starting and stalling hasn’t disqualified you — it’s prepared you for what’s next.

In this episode, we're talking about:
✅ The 5 reasons my God-given business stayed grounded for years (and how I broke the cycle).

✅ How self-doubt and fear of charging kept me stuck “helping for free” instead of stewarding my assignment boldly.

✅ Why overselling to the wrong people (and neglecting the right ones) sabotaged my momentum.

✅ The endless “research” trap — how comparison disguised itself as productivity.

✅ Why chaos and constant pivots are no substitute for a proven, Spirit-led framework.

Are you ready to stop stalling on the runway? Sis, this business launching thing isn’t “too much” for you. You’re not too late. And you are absolutely not disqualified. You definitely don’t need more hustle. 🙄

What you DO need is a sanctified strategy and a fresh start. If you’re ready to talk about how to get this business off the ground for real this time, I want you to – grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!

191// Called to build a Kingdom business but stuck at START? Here's your next best step...

Are you a faith-driven woman who knows God has called her to build a business in this season… but you’re stuck at START?

Listen, Sister . . . You’re not confused about your calling. You’re not second-guessing your assignment. You know what you've been called to do. But every time you try to begin, you spiral into “productive” procrastination — refreshing your vision board, rebranding your Canva templates, consuming more strategy than you’ll ever use. You're stuck on the HOW of it all. I've been there, friend! 🙋🏻‍♀️

And this isn’t about lacking discipline or needing more prayer. This is about missing a Spirit-led blueprint and the real permission to start right where you are. So, let's tackle this topic and break it down to get you unstuck TODAY. Clarity comes with action, so let's get moving!

In this episode, we're talking about:

✅ Why confusion around HOW is the enemy’s favorite tactic to stall your assignment.

✅ What the Bible says about God calling AND equipping His people -- see Exodus 3 (Moses' Calling), Judges 6 (Gideon's Calling).

✅ Why clarity of assignment doesn’t mean clarity of execution — and how to bridge the gap.

✅ What to do TODAY to move from idea to impact... without the overwhelm.

Are you ready to ditch the “I’ll start next month” mindset and finally take bold, Spirit-led action? If you know NOW is your time to get moving with real momentum, then grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!

#190// What do you see with your eyes closed? What do you see when you allow your spirit to set vision as it's connected to the Spirit of God?

Listen, Sister . . . if we're actually going to BEHOLD the things of God in the natural, we've got to get good at seeing it with our spirit first.

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to speak to and exhort over 300 women at our REVIVE Woman Conference 2025 about what it looks like to BEHOLD with God... to perceive the new thing He is doing in this coming season (see Isaiah 43:19).

The truth is: We BECOME what we BEHOLD!

If we are continually beholding our Savior -- the way He walked and talked and related to others -- we will become more and more like Him. If we allow ourselves to behold the negative, the swirl, the chaos or overwhelm, we will continually see that all around us.

And here's the part no one wants to say out loud: We can't BECOME on our own because it's hard for us to BEHOLD on our own.

We NEED other faith-filled, godly women of purpose around us -- cheering us on, calling us up higher, discipling and challenging us -- for our GOOD and for the GLORY of God!

And you better believe the enemy is going to do everything in his power to keep you from beholding. Because he doesn't want you to BECOME! That makes you a BIG threat to his kingdom of darkness. But I've got his schemes in my sight and I'm going to share with you The Four Strategies the Enemy Uses to Keep Us from Beholding:

😬 He'll try to get you to partner with the spirit of foreboding. If the enemy can convince you to consistently behold the possibility of BAD in your life, he can keep you from beholding the goodness of God and becoming everything God intended for your life. Combat him with Isaiah 43:18-19.

🙃 He'll try to convince you that you're fragile. Oh, Sister! You are not some fragile flower, bending and breaking in the wind. You are a warrior-daughter of the Most High God. You are a breaker. You are strong in the Lord! Tell the enemy to take his lies back to the pit of hell as you declare Songs of Solomon 2:1-2.

😳 He'll try to convince you that you've missed it or it being hard means it's not for you. Don't believe his lies! Your Heavenly Father is with you, and He knows exactly what you can handle. You're not too late, you're not overwhelmed. You are right on time, and the Lord is growing your capacity. Stomp on the head of the enemy as you rejoice in 2 Corinthians 6:1-10.

😖 He'll try to convince you that beholding happens alone. Sister, you were created for community, covenant and sisterhood. We are not meant to do any part of life all alone. Your loving Father has placed you into families and communities because He knows your destiny is wrapped up in the people He has placed around you. Shut down the enemies lies by grabbing ahold of Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.

NOW is YOUR time to BEHOLD fully and BECOME, my friend! Don't allow the enemy to keep you stuck or convince you you're not worthy of the beautiful calling and assignment God placed on your life. It's time to BLOOM!

If you're ready to BEHOLD the goodness of God and BECOME the fullness of who He's called you to be, but you need help in positioning yourself rightly, then this episode is for you, Sister. Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#189 // Are you a conference "junkie" . . . attending conference after conference for the next Holy Spirit "hit?"

Listen, I've been there, Sister . . .

I had this belief that the big breakthrough I needed or the touch from God that was going to finally shift things could only be found during a big, Christian conference with all the lights, sounds and fanfare. I would be so expectant for that type of encounter at these events, but there was very little expectation of God encountering me in that same way in my everyday life.

The truth is: breakthrough and deliverance can happen anywhere!

Yes, it can happen at the altar during a conference, but it can also happen in your living room as you set your heart and soul on the desire to experience God in a new way.

But why are we talking about this? Well, friend... I'm hosting a women's conference next weekend and I want to help my ambitious, sound-making, Jesus Girls (like you) to know how you can properly prepare when you decide to attend a Christian conference. It's more than just popping up and enjoying the worship and word.

Here are three things I'd encourage you to do before stepping into your next conference:

📝 Treat the conference like an anniversary or annual assessment. This is a moment to get with the Lord and ask, "What are we working on during this conference experience? What do You want to add to me or help me to see? How am I engaging as I step in?"

Take time to sit with God and set your expectations. What fruit do you want to see come out of the experience? What hurdles do you need to tackle in order to fully press in? Let God lead you in what He wants you to receive (and eventually pour out).

💕 Bring others along with you. It's so much better when we can step into these conference experiences together. There's a level of connection and sharpening that can happen as we go alongside one another.

If you're ready to experience a Christian conference differently, then I invite you to join me and a collective of sound-making sisters who are coming together to see and celebrate the goodness of God and to be refreshed and sent out again to walk boldly in their purpose. We're gathering next weekend, May 16 + 17, for BEHOLD REVIVE Woman Conference where we'll witness the beauty and power of God encountering His daughters.

If you're looking for a deeper, more meaningful, conference experience with long-lasting impact, but you need help in preparing, then this episode is for you, Sister. It's time to BEHOLD! If you're ready to get started... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#188// Ready for the sweet little bookend to our four-part series, Sis? We're going from Dream to Do -- from Behold to Build -- NOW!

As we close out this series on the podcast, I just want to remind you of why we're here (and of who YOU are as a member of this community) . . .

We're here because we have it in our hearts to build big and beautiful things with and for God, through a business or ministry. We are ambitious, multi-passionate sisters who have a desire to walk in the fullness of our God-given purpose with acceleration and momentum, and without all the overwhelm and burnout.

You're a powerhouse in this earth, Sister! And there is a way to go from beholding to building... here and now!

I've put together a new resource (a whole workshop, really) to get you powerfully positioned to move from dreaming and beholding to actually doing and building.

Wondering if this could be for you? Well, let me ask you:

🤔 Would you liked to be walked into systems and strategies that are easy to understand and implement and are customized for what you're building ( . . . and will inject some acceleration into your launch plan, too)?

🤔 Are you ready to (finally!) step into an environment of continued support and encouragement with other Kingdom-minded, entrepreneurial Jesus Girls who are running and building incredible things with and for God right alongside you ( . . . while being able to ask questions and get personalized feedback in real time)?

🤔 Do you know you need access to a seasoned coach who's willing to get into the trenches with you to see your vision come to life ( . . . who comes with a tested and proven step-by-step strategy and four other Kingdom sisters who are succeeding in the online space right now in their own businesses and ministries who'll share their secrets with you, too)?

🤔 Do you need some specific strategies around building out your first website, growing your community on social media or via an email list, and/or how to put together a solid offer that sells and delivering on it with excellence ( . . . and maybe even a suggested "tech stack" or all-in-one platform where you could get all this going easily in record time)?

If so, then I want to invite you into a virtual workshop I'll be hosting with a few of my Kingdom biz girlfriends on Friday, May 16th. Inside The Jesus Girl's New Entrepreneur Experience, you'll get access to unmatched training and coaching that'll help you gain clarity around your God-given vision and mission for your Kingdom business or ministry as you learn specific strategies to set up those five "basic building blocks" we've been talking about in our Dream to Do series so you can successfully start making progress on your launch plan TODAY!

If you know NOW is your time to finally get moving on that business, ministry, book, blog, Bible study, podcast or community God has called you to build, but you need practical, hands-on help to get there, then this episode is for you, Sister. It's time to behold and BUILD... Now! If you're ready to get started... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

NEED THAT BRIDGE TO GO FROM DREAMING TO DOING? If you're looking for some simple (yet powerful) steps that can take you from dream to DO, then be sure to grab this free resource created just for you! In my How to Go From Dream to Do Mini-Workbook you'll discover a simple 3-step strategy that'll have you moving from Dream to Do in NO time.

🤔 "Do I really NEED an email list, and how do I even start one?"

#186// You're not for "everyone," Sister. Nobody is. So if you're trying to sell to everyone, you'll wind up selling to no one. It's powerful to be able to identify and speak directly to the ones God has called you to serve.

As you're out here building big and beautiful things with and for God, it is so important to know WHO you're called to serve through your business or ministry. God put the idea in your heart, and He's giving you the grace to do #allthethings, but He also wants to help you get particularly focused on the people you're meant to be serving.

The facts, features and specs you share with people about the product or service you offer may give them loads of information. But guess what. Facts don't sell. You know what does? STORIES! When you talk to the person you're sent to serve in "their language," addressing the question they're always "kinda" asking in the background -- "What's in this for me?" -- I'm telling you . . . You're going to find it so much easier to connect with people who need what you're offering. And sales will seem like a breeze!

So, are you ready to discover "your person?" Are you ready to dial in what you offer and how you talk about it so folks find you, get excited about your solution and buy or donate with joy and expectation? On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper Podcast, I've got a simple (yet powerful) 10-question survey that'll help you get you get clear on your ideal "person" in NO time, so your "anointed offer" gets in front of the right person on repeat! You can download a copy of the free worksheet below.

As a Kingdom-minded, entrepreneurial Jesus Girl, you are called to build something impactful and long-lasting in this earth. You know this, right?! The world needs what God placed on the inside of you, but it won't do anyone any good if you're unsure of who you're meant to be speaking and ministering to.

If you know NOW is your time to finally get moving on that business, ministry, book, blog, Bible study, podcast or community God has called you to build, but you need a little help in determining your ideal audience to craft your irresistible offer, then this episode is for you, Sister. You CAN serve your person powerfully and excellently... without overwhelm. If you're ready to get started... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#185// Stuck in the "buffer zone," Sis? Dreaming, visioning, planning, researching... on repeat. It's time to get you FREE of this cycle and MOVE forward!

We both know you're called to do big and beautiful things with and for God, right? But somehow we find ourselves getting caught in a cycle of dreaming and visioning on repeat without ever really moving into the DOING. That's called the "buffer zone," my friend, and we can get stuck there. Have you been feeling stuck like that? Are you ready to finally break free so you can move from dream to DO?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper Podcast, I've got a simple (yet powerful) 3-step strategy that'll have you moving from perpetual dreamland to actually (and finally!) walking out your God-purpose in no time. Are you ready for some of this, Sis?

As a Kingdom-minded, entrepreneurial Jesus Girl, you are called to build something impactful and far-reaching in this earth. The world needs what God placed on the inside of you, but it won't do anyone any good if you're constantly dreaming about the promise but never "putting your hand to the plow" in action to see it manifest in your life. So . . .

Can I help you get over the bridge from Dream to DO?

If so, here are your next best steps:

1️⃣ Vision Brain Dump

2️⃣ Basic Building Blocks Checklist

3️⃣ Beginning Blueprint

*And don't stress, I have a resource below that's going to get you squared away as we dive into these steps over the next few podcast episodes.

If you know NOW is your time to finally get moving on that business, ministry, book, blog, Bible study, podcast or community God has called you to build, but you need a little help in getting out of the dreaming phase and into the DOING phase, then this episode is for you, Sister. You CAN start (and not stop) by taking these powerful first steps that'll set you up for massive success. If you're ready to get started... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#184// Yes, you CAN do #allthethings in Christ Jesus!

You've been sold a lie that you can't "do it all," Sister. Over probably the last eight or ten years, popular media has repeatedly tried to tell us (because of burnout): "You've got to pick one thing and let go of the rest. You need to create more margin in your life."

But what if I told you that in believing the lie of “I can’t do it all” you’ve actually pushed off parts of your God-given identity and diminished parts of your purpose in the earth? That's a SELAH moment, Sister.

As a faith-filled, ambitious, multi-passionate Jesus Girl, you are called to be a modern Proverbs 31 woman, and there is a grace found in God that can create a flow and cadence for your life. This grace will sustain you, carry you forward, and make you able to “do it all” in Christ Jesus.

Wondering about the HOW? Here's your winning strategy, Friend:

1️⃣ REPENT and BELIEVE Philippians 4:13 (grab that verse below and make it your daily declaration).

2️⃣ GIVE GOD FIRST PLACE every morning. Start and end your day with Him, allowing Him to set your cadence in the morning and receive your gratitude in the evening.

3️⃣ PLAN YOUR DAY with God. Allow Him to inform you of the important things for each day. This will greatly reduce stress and increase your success.

If you know you're a Proverbs 31 woman who wants to reduce overwhelm, increase peaceful productivity and fulfillment in the fullness of your purpose, but you're needing a little help in the HOW of getting there, then this episode is for you, Sister. You need to know in the depths of you that God has created you for specific works and you CAN be and do every single thing He's created you for! If you need a little help picking up that truth... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#183// Position is EVERYTHING when it comes to your purpose. You are designed to refract the light of God into the world in a specific way as you build your business or ministry.

Do you believe the work God has called you to do in the earth... the business or the ministry that He has called you to build and steward... matters? True story, Sister! The work God created you to do actually matters in this world. It's vital for the people who will hear the sound you were made to make for God, and it matters to the expanding of His Kingdom here on earth.

Ever heard of the concept of refraction? This means to make a ray of light change direction when it enters at an angle. This is how we were designed to operate. God shines His light into us in a specific way, and that light shines out of us (is directed) in a way that is unique to how God created us.

Have you been feeling like the call of God on your life is a minimal thing, like it's "no big deal" and your impact is small? If so, you can decide right now that you'll align with the truth that your purpose is of the utmost importance. You want to ensure that you're properly positioned in your purpose so that you're beautifully refracting the light of God like the dazzling rainbow that you are. And just like the rainbow signifies a promise, God's light shining through you is a picture of the promises that He's spoken over your life. Amen?

If you're a Jesus girl who's got it in her heart to truly showcase the beauty of God as you take BIG steps to build that business or ministry with and for Him here in the earth, but you're feeling like you're a little out of position to truly refract His light, then this episode is for you, Sister. You need to know in the depths of you that God is doing a work through you... and it matters! If you need a little help picking up that truth... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#182// You have to make the decision that you're going to STAND in your faith, Sis! That's the GRIT that'll position you to receive the GRACE of God for your life.

Did you know that walking out the purpose of your life is going to take both grit AND grace? If you want to be positioned to receive the grace, you're going to have to stand with grit. You're going to have to make a decision that -- no matter where you started or what you had in your hands to begin with -- God can get you what you need, when you need it, so you can prosper fully in your purpose, Amen!

Sometimes we get to a place where we're not seeing the promise come to pass... we're not seeing the "thing" manifesting in our world. This is often because we're just "waiting for the grace to fall," but we haven't positioned ourselves in the grit (the faith with works) that will actually bring the thing to fruition.

Have you just been hoping for the grace of God to fall so that you can finally do the thing you feel like you were called to do? If so, it's okay to decide that now is the time to lean in and take active steps so you can have a different experience in your world. That's why on this week's episode, I'm sharing the message that I released at a recent Jesus Girl Gang's Ministry Night: Grit + Grace.

If you're a Jesus girl who's got it in her heart to truly move in the grace of God as you build big and beautiful things with and for Him here in the earth, but you haven't experienced the grace that helps you to flow in that way, then this episode is for you, Sister. You need to know in the depths of you that God will flow His grace in and through you as you couple your faith with the grit of God! If you need a little help walking in both grace AND grit... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#181// You don't have to worry about how you're going to pay for the vision and assignment that God has given you!

Listen, Sister . . . God actually cares about resourcing you for the assignment He's given you more than you do. True story! All you need to do is concern yourself with the receipt, belief, and obedience to the call.

The main reason given by most of the women I coach for why they didn't "go for it" in business or ministry sooner is this: They had a paralyzing fear around money and provision. Most felt they couldn't get into motion until they had a firm grasp on how it was all going to get funded and resourced. But did you know that's not how it works in the Kingdom? So much of Kingdom living is trusting God at His word, stepping out on that word and then seeing Him provide as we move in obedience.

Is your mindset around money holding you back from starting that business or ministry God has been calling you into? If so, it's okay to decide that now is the time to lean in and believe God at His word FIRST and get your mindset straight, and then ask questions about the how (including how to resource the vision). That's why on this week's episode, I'm sharing the money mindset you need to have in order to BOLDLY begin that "thing" God has been talking to you about.

If you're a Jesus girl who's got it in her heart to make BIG moves with the Lord, but you've been stuck in fear around your resources and provision, this episode is for you, Sister. You need to know in the depths of you that God will provide every single resource you need to fulfill the calling on your life... just move your feet in faith! If you need a little help shifting that money mindset to the abundant mind of Christ... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#180// Yes, You CAN continue in faith... even when everything seems to be counting you out or trying to knock you down. If God said it, you can have faith that He'll do it!

As a faith-filled woman who's trying to start and establish a Kingdom business or ministry, there are going to be times when every piece of feedback and data will try to convince you that it CAN'T BE DONE!

BUT . . .

✨ Are you willing to reset your faith and step out in a new way to see the Word of God manifest in your life, while you pick up massive upgrades along the way?

✨ Are you ready to truly "live by faith" in such a way that the striving and overwhelm cease and you're flowing in the rhythm of grace?

On this week's episode, I'm sharing the secret to living a faith-driven life: mindset upgrades and strategies that we can utilize on a daily basis that'll get us walking by faith and not by sight. If God said it, that settles it, and we can take Him at His word. But it takes the kind of faith that goes beyond what we see with our natural eyes so that we can tap into the supernatural that God wants to produce in our lives.

If you're a Jesus girl who's got it in her heart to start and do BIG things with the Lord, but you've been flagging in your faith, this episode is for you, Sister. There is a vision for your life that you can lock onto, and you actually CAN move in true faith that you'll get to that glorious destination in Christ Jesus. If you need a little help staying in faith-mode right now... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#179// If God has called you to do something, choose to believe you're the one for the job and act accordingly. His calling is what qualifies you, Sis.

As an ambitious, multi-passionate, do-all-the-things, Jesus Girl you know that you have an assignment on your life... but have you found yourself questioning your purpose or the direction God is leading you in?

🤔 Maybe your close people have been making sounds around you that would cause you to doubt what you heard from God...

🤔 Maybe you've been trying to build that thing with God, but it hasn't actually taken off yet and it's causing you to feel some kind of way…

🤔 Maybe you thought you heard God, but the fruit isn't showing like you thought it would, so now you're beginning to wonder if you're on the right track…

That's self-doubt knocking at your door, Sister! Want to know how we combat that?

On this week's episode, I'm sharing some personal stories from my own life that have caused me to doubt what I heard from God and the trajectory He had me on... experiences that could have completely derailed me in building the thing that God was calling me to build. But I'm also serving up the tools and strategies He handed me to help me come out of that self-doubt pit. And I know these resources will help you, too!

If you're a Jesus girl who's got it in her heart to start a business or ministry with the Lord, but you've been dealing with self-doubt and feelings of just not "getting there", this episode is for you, Sister. You actually CAN get that business or ministry started (and not stop), and you don't have to entertain doubt for a single moment. If you need a little help to "doubt-proof" your life right now...

#177// We've been lied to about what accountability is.

WARNING: I may be on a bit of a rant in this week's episode as I "discuss" what I think has happened to real accountability over the last few decades. With the rise of productivity coaching, hands-on "mentorships" and "results Christianity," alongside declining acknowledgement for basic, personal responsibility in pretty much all areas of life (even in the Church, my friend!), accountability has taken on quite the co-dependent flavoring. It's had me a little "triggered" as of late.

As a self-described "breakthrough coach," and someone who absolutely LIVES to help others run their own race to breakthrough in their assigned lane to the glory of God, to think we've been sold this fake accountability as a way to "help" us get to the finish line is maddening to me. I believe this twisted definition of accountability offers us the spirit of victimhood and an "I can't if you don't make me" (wipes away tear) attitude that is absolutely getting folks stuck and keeping them out of their "promised land."

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast I'm ranting. But then I'm teaching. And THEN I'm inviting you into real accountability. So if you get a little twitchy, too, when you sense a rise of codependency in the room, or if you're wondering if, just maybe, you've fallen for this false sense of support yourself . . .

#176// There's nothing wrong with taking a break, Sis. Just make sure you're taking it on your own terms, and not because the enemy convinced you to "take the L" and "deal with it later."

As this year comes to a close, I've heard one too many Christian "influencers" on social media talking about how it's okay to "go easy on yourself" if you didn't "make it happen" this year, and not to worry too much about setting vision, targets or plans for the year that lies ahead. #TeamBeGentle

But can I tell you something? The enemy is not planning on being gentle with you in this upcoming season. Not even a little bit. If you have a purpose and an assignment on your life that brings the Kingdom into this earth, his whole aim is to be the OPPOSITE of gentle with you at all times. Sister, you're in the middle of a war and no wise warrior goes in without a war plan. You hearing me??

Now listen . . . I'm not telling you to be hypervigilant or a striving maniac, okay? I'm not telling you to be legalistic or anxious about every single thing that comes before you. But what I AM telling you is:

You need a plan for how you're going to steward your time, talents and effort in this next season and it's best for that plan to be one that can produce peaceful productivity in your life without the overwhelm or risk of burnout. To the glory of God. Amen!

That kind of planning requires you to know what "ingredient" you need to keep the burnout OUT of your lane, Sis. You need to add the antidote for overwhelm to the success soup you're cooking up for the coming year. Do you know what that is?

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast I'm sharing just that: the only real antidote for overwhelm. Want to know what it is? I did a live sessionthe other day with my Facebook community where I shared this real antidote, but not before putting the enemy on blast for the four counterfeit "antidotes" he tries to sell us every single day. If you're ready to overcome the overwhelm for good as you put together a peaceful productivity plan for the coming year (that's going to really work this time!), you're going to want to hit play on this episode right here.

#175// "When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen." - Isaiah 60:22

But, Sis, did you know there's something you and I do that has the effect of negatively impacting how we experiencing His timing? Let me tell you what it is . . .

DOUBT! We doubt ourselves, we doubt our capacity, our support and resourcing, and we even doubt the the absolute truth that God will perform His word. We allow what we see with our natural eyes, hear with our natural ears and what we understand from our own thinking and figuring to cause us to doubt what God has said He will do. And when we allow this doubt to creep in and run the show, it has an impact on how we do "our part" in any situation. In effect, we contribute to the delay. We "fail to make it happen."

And can I tell you something else?

Doubt can thrive anywhere you don't trust God at his Word! It's not just that doubt can exist in those places. Yeah, girl, it can exist there. But let me tell you from experience, doubt gets to THRIVE in places where we don't believe God at his Word. Like, living it's BEST life!

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast I'm sharing a live session I did with my Facebook community recently where I walked them through how to doubt-proof your life so you can stop failing to see the Lord "make it happen" in the here and now. If you're ready to walk into a year of seeing God perform His word "on time" and "in full" -- if you're ready to experience a year of fulfillment as you walk fully in the purpose and assignment He created you for -- you're going to want to hit play on this episode right here.

#174// A Plan is simply a healthy boundary around your time, your talents and your effort. Having a plan is like having a roadmap for how to navigate to your breakthrough.

I'm coming in with a hard but GOOD word for you today . . .

YES, You DO need a plan (Luke 14:28). YES, You CAN plan (Philippians 4:13). And YES, You can even learn CONTENTMENT and find JOY in the midst of the process of planning (1 Corinthians 9:24-27).

Maybe you've had an experience of planning letting you down in the past. Maybe you don't feel like you're good at it. Maybe you've believed the lie that, since the outcome belongs to the Lord, it's a waste of time to plan for your breakthrough and eventual victory in Christ Jesus. Can I tell you something?

The devil is a liar and he's trying to do whatever he can to get you off the plan for your life, Sis!

You need a God-given strategy for how to steward your time, talents and efforts as it pertains to the work God has given you to do in this life. And the longer you live in the chaos of what you think is "waiting on God" (when what's really happening is just a mixture of apathy and bad theology), the farther down the disappointment pit you will fall. But Jesus came that you might have abundant life, to the FULL. Are you ready for that?

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast we're talking about why you definitely need a plan, how to get to the place where you know you can craft and execute a plan, and how to even enjoy the journey of planning so you can step into your most fruitful year with the Lord EVER, all without the overwhelm.

#173// "Kinda Crunchy" is a lifestyle born out of collective burnout, Sister.

Negotiating the Standard of God is never a good idea. Not even when we find ourselves overwhelmed and thinking, "There must be an easier way to do this!" In fact, that's the worst place to start to have a compromise in your spirit. We need to know how to identify the voice of the enemy when he comes with the questions that lead us into letting down our godly standards. This includes the standard we hold as we steward the health -- spirit, soul and body -- God has given to us.

I won't argue you on the fact that the health and wellness space has been absolutely overrun by a spirit of perfectionism in the last generation or two. By the beginning of 2020, we were experiencing a worldly standard being set around how to steward health that had nothing to do with trusting or glorifying God, and everything to do with "keeping up with the Joneses" (or whichever influencer you followed and most related to over on social media). And I'm talking about faith-based health and wellness educators and influencers, too!

Stewarding health became an exhausting and overwhelming feat. And as a collective, it seems many of us decided to quietly compromise on the standard of how to care for the gift of health God had given us as we took to writing some "simpler" standards of our own:

  • "You don't have to be that strict about clean eating. It's all too much. Just do the best you can."
  • "It's so expensive to eat unprocessed, whole foods. Just do the best you can."
  • "And isn't it so overwhelming to try to figure this all out at the same time? Balance, Sister. Just do the best you can."

And with that, "Do the Best You Can" became the new standard. "Kinda Crunchy." Even in Christian circles. In fact, I heard it the MOST from Christian influencers. Somehow we had become convinced that "being too hard on ourselves" was worse than the difficulty of upholding a Biblical standard. Not that the standard we were holding previously was Biblical, mind you. But instead of determining to find the real Biblical Standard and making that our guide and our goal, we just decided to "Do the Best You Can." Honestly, I believe we took an unauthorized break. To me, that's what "Kinda Crunchy" has come to mean.

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast we're chatting about the five main reasons I see for why we began to settle for this "kinda crunchy" and "just do the best you can" standard when it comes to stewarding our health, and then I'm sharing a simple Reset Roadmap you can follow to Biblically steward your health and wellness without overwhelm and burnout.

#172// This is a topic that has the potential to redraw relational lines in an instant.

Have you ever lost an "IRL" friend as a result of posting something "provocative" on social media that referenced religion or politics? If you lived through 2020 and had any views that tracked with medical freedom or disagreeing with "the government," and posted about them, I bet you did. My husband and I lost a few, I can tell you that.

But does the risk of agitating certain relationships justify staying silent on certain matters God has told you to make a sound about? Here's the thing . . .

What you make a sound about -- even the sound you make on social media -- should really be driven by only one thing: Has God given you the grace and the permission to say that thing to the people He's called you to serve?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're dismantling the lie that says you should never post about religion or politics in your business or ministry feeds. We're getting down to what the Bible actually has to say about what we should speak up about and what we shouldn't. If you're ready to know the simple way to know if you should be posting about these provocative topics on your social media feeds, go ahead and: Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#171// Waiting on God rarely requires you to stay still.

In fact, truly waiting on Him will always produce movement. Don't believe me? Read Isaiah 40:31. It says when we wait on God we will . . . MOVE! We'll rise up, we'll run, we'll walk. And we'll do all of it while not getting overwhelmed or burned out. Amazing, right?

The key to waiting on God the right way and in seeing Him move on your behalf lies in the true definition of the word WAIT. On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're unpacking what it really means to wait on the Lord and how this simple perspective shift can bring alignment and acceleration like you've never experienced before. If you've been waiting for Him to move and have felt like the answer is taking "forever," this may just be the message you've been waiting for (see what I did there? wink).

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm bringing you a message I shared at my home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, around a word for the new year 5785 -- BEHOLD Immediately Now! The Hebrew new year begins with Rosh Hashanah, which was celebrated from October 2nd through 4th of this year. The Lord had been speaking to me about BEHOLD for the entirety of September, so when He began to speak to me on September 22nd about beholding, I wasn't surprised. But it was the Immediately Now part that arrested me. He showed me five Biblical steps to BEHOLD Immediately Now. Would you like to see the acceleration He wants to bring to this new year?

#169// One of the questions I get asked the most by ambitious, Jesus girls looking to launch into something new is, "So, how do I get my husband on board with this?"

As a multi-passionate woman who wants to do #allthethings while being mindful of my marriage and family, it can feel a little tricky at times to keep everything in balance. This is especially true when I feel the Lord nudging me to start something new with Him that will require me to carve out some time, energy and effort from somewhere else to apply to the new thing. This is generally where it becomes apparent that I'll need to be having a conversation with the hubs. You been there?

Even if your husband is super supportive of everything you dream up to do, he's likely still going to have questions and even possibly some concerns when it comes to your shifting time, energy and effort around. You're going to have to have a conversation, right? Wouldn't it be good to know how to conduct a conversation like this in such a way that it's very easy for your husband to hop on board and maybe even help with the transition you're suggesting?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing four simple yet powerful tips for how to approach a conversation like this with your husband that'll produce less friction and more agreement.

#168// "Boundaries" has been a buzz word for decades, but we haven't talked enough about what I believe is the most important step in setting boundaries . . . the right place to START.

For the last few decades, boundaries have been a real hot topic, especially in Christian circles. What's wild to me is how many "Christian Influencers," pastors and teachers are showing up on social media and posting unbiblical advice around boundaries. It's shocking!

As followers of Christ, filled with His Spirit, when we post or speak publicly, we MUST fact check ourselves. This means running everything we say and post through the filter of the Word of God. This is our Standard, and if we're teaching anything that departs from this Standard, we're edging into Ezekiel 13 territory (go read it when you have a minute and the fear of the Lord will set you straight, promise!).

Jesus said in John 5 that He only did and said what He saw the Father doing and saying. And He constantly addressed things with straight-up Scripture. Consider His showdown with the devil in the desert, yeah? This Standard is now our Standard, in Christ Jesus. So, when it comes to talking about and teaching around boundaries, it's no different for us.

Popular psychology may highlight the setting of boundaries externally between us and others as the place to start, but I see something different when I read the Bible. It's clear, over and over in Scripture, God calls us to set boundaries within ourselves first.

Setting boundaries within ourselves before we start to build and set them externally will change the nature of how we set boundaries with others, and will make those boundaries we do set more effective and less emotionally and mentally overwhelming as we hold and maintain them. Who doesn't want more of that?!

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm going to show you the 3 different types of personal boundaries you need to set within yourself first that will enable you to set more effective, less overwhelming boundaries with others over the long haul. Do you know you need this clarification around Biblical boundaries? Are you ready to reduce the friction in boundary setting with others? Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#167// It's a sign the enemy's been in your fields when you're not seeing the fruit come forth in its due time.

Let me ask you . . .

Are you letting the enemy into your fields? Are you somehow participating in the destruction he's come to deliver? If I can be direct -- Do you think you could be playing a part in aborting your own breakthrough?

None of us wants to think that we would knowingly and/or willingly be cutting off our own fruit before it's time, but when you allow yourself to get disappointed a few times, and then allow that disappointment to harden into deep despair or bitterness, you can find yourself in a cycle that automatically opens the gate. Now the foxes are in the field, ready to spoil your harvest!

But you weren't made for constant defeat and a cycle of loss, my friend. You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. You were made for breakthrough! It's time to break the cycle and see the fruit, fully formed and harvested, delivered to your table. It's time to celebrate as we bring in the sheaves with shouts of joy! (Psalm 126)

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're talking about how it actually happens that we find ourselves participating in blocking our own breakthrough. But don't think the delays you've experienced will go wasted! I'll be sharing three different upgrades God gives us as we learn how to stop partnering with the enemy in this blocking the blessing madness. You ready?

#166// God provides at a point. A certain place. Do you know where that is?

Seventeen years ago, the Lord highlighted 3 John 2 in the NKJV to me, and I've never been the same. It launched my first ministry -- The Positioned to Prosper Personal Finance Course -- and caught me up into a heavenly understanding of true prosperity and how God really provides.

The starting point for me was to truly understand Biblical prosperity. Real prosperity. Not the kind of prosperity you hear haters on social media screaming about when they see a pastor in a private jet or enjoying a beautiful home and an abundant bank account. But the real thing that envelops not only financial wealth, but also health and relationships and mindset and purpose. True Prosperity is a "full being" experience in the Lord.

Once I could see what real prosperity looked like from the perspective of God (Ephesians 2:6-7! It's such a gift), we then moved into me understanding HOW to get positioned for this sort of provision. In our New Testament, other-side-of-the-cross reality we live in, getting positioned to prosper consists of just two things beyond belief in Jesus. Do you know what they are?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm going to share the two things you need to be doing to get positioned to prosper so you'll be at the exact right place at the exact right time with the right heart, ready to receive His provision. I'm also going to tell you what the true POWER of this positioning can really be in the life of a believer. Are you ready for this? I'm so excited to share out of my own 17-year journey with Biblical prosperity. Go grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#165// It's Not Enough to Have a Vision.

I know, I KNOW! I'm the girl who's always telling you how VITAL it is to have a Word from the Lord. To have the revelation and the download written down so you KNOW where you're headed (you go where you're looking, Sis!). I mean, we quote Habakkuk 2 around here a LOT! But still, I'm here to tell you that having the vision, though important, is NOT enough.

Neither is effort. Doing lots of "busy things" in the hopes it'll produce is just going to wear you out. Overwhelm lies in wait for you down this road, my friend. No, what you need is a winning strategy, preferably from the Lord, that aligns with HIs word and promise over your life. And that's not just my opinion. You know we're going to look at the Good Book . . .

When we look at people like Gideon, Joshua, Joseph (Mary's eventual husband) and Moses, we find God gave them more than just a vision or a revelation to get them where they needed to go. He also gave them each a strategy that contained three very specific components. And I want you to know, when God gives YOU a winning strategy to build the vision He's called you into, that strategy will likely have these three components in it, too.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing those very specific, three components that tend to show up inside every winning God-strategy we're given. If you're looking to build something big and beautiful to the glory of God in this season, you're going to need a winning strategy with these three things built in. If you're ready to learn what they are, and how to implement them with excellence in this season, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

#164// Disappointment has driven me to try to quit my purpose and assignment no less than four times in the last six years. Don't be like me, Sis. The relief you think quitting will bring just isn't there. Not even a little bit.

I'm getting super vulnerable on this episode because, if it's possible, I want to save you from making the same mistakes I've made, and from going around the proverbial mountain any more times than God deems absolutely necessary. Want to know what my "Goliath" has been over these last few years?

This thought, born out of disappointment and fear: THIS. ISN'T. WORKING.

From the time I was born until I left the marketplace at age 34, I lived what felt like a spectacularly favored life. Everything worked out for me. Everything. And I'm not just saying that. I actually had a girl tell me once that she spend a couple months mad at me because things seemed to always work out for me so well and with ease. All I could say at the time was, I guess favor ain't fair.

But it wasn't that my life was easy. I faced significant challenges growing up -- relationally, with self-esteem, health-wise, financially. But as I faced each challenge, the solutions and the resources I needed seemed within my grasp. I had a rhythm of consistent breakthrough and victory going. #ThankYouJesus

But then I left my job. I was at the height of my career success, and had I stayed on, I would have only continued to grow and soar. But I felt the Lord directing me to hang up my tax accounting hat to move into mothering and ministry, so I obeyed. The price tag for that obedience was steep (I share about that in the episode), but I trusted God because He'd always come through for me (and quickly) up until then.

This one step of obedience launched me into a sixteen year season of wilderness living where it has felt, many times, like the favored life I once had was just a dream. And that's when "Goliath" started showing up for me. That thought that started out so small -- "this doesn't seem to be working." -- has grown over the years into a full-sized giant, with a full and thunderously loud voice, shouting with intimidation -- THIS. ISN'T. WORKING!

What do you do when it's taking such a long time to see the GOOD things God has promised you come to pass? How do you wake up and step into your day -- day after day -- when everyday feels just like the last one -- an eternal groundhog day -- and you're just not seeing the breakthrough, even a little bit? How do you get to the place where you can truly believe:

It's going to work this time!

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing my sixteen year journey of silence, disappointments and failures, and five powerful lessons I learned, as I've endeavored to see it (finally!) work this time. There is one particularly powerful revelation I'm sharing that is sure to shift your experience as you set your heart on the truth and knowledge found in the goodness, the grace and the faithfulness of God.

162// You were made to do BIG things in Christ Jesus, Sis. That's why the enemy will try to get you to self-sabotage.Have you ever been working on something and believing God for the outcome, only to lose faith all of a sudden and find "really good reasons" for taking an extended break or quitting all together? Have you ever found yourself blowing up and exiting a situation or relationship only to think afterwards, "That was a bit dramatic. Why did I do that?" Or how about straight-up quitting because it's "obvious" that you don't have the time, resources, talent, support or gifting necessary to get the job done anyway? Friend, those are all examples of self-sabotage.

Self-sabotage is a self-protective coping mechanism. Sometimes we want to bail before we get abandoned or we want to have some level of control over the "inevitable" failure that seems to be coming. We want to regulate the pain and suffering we're experiencing on the road to the promise, so we create scenarios and situations where it seems "impossible" to do anything other than stop or quit or fail.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing three little lies we tell ourselves that are sure signs of self-sabotage. I'll then share practical strategies for breaking the cycle so you can stop throwing your own self under the bus to get back to making progress on your God-given assignment. Sound good? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

161// Have you ever noticed that progress doesn't always follow a straight line?And yet, all of humanity is taught how to plan for progress in a linear fashion. Start with the desired outcome. Now figure out what steps need to happen in order for you to arrive at said outcome, and then put them all in order. Maybe now you add a time estimate for completing each step, and you then you figure out how long the process will take overall. Now you put it all in your calendar and get to work!

But then, inevitably, something doesn't work according to the plan. Maybe one step takes longer than expected or another part doesn't work out the way you thought it would. You find yourself "off on a tangent" and, if you're like me, maybe you start to blame yourself for getting "lost" on what was supposed to be a simple journey from point A to point B. Have you ever been here?

It can feel even worse if the project you're working on involves a God-promise. When we're working towards something we know we heard God say was up ahead for us, we can tend to get more overwhelmed and stressed out because, well -- "God SAID!"

So how do we navigate the journey of pursuing a promise without losing hope or getting stuck (or quitting) along the way? That's what we're getting into on this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. If you're ready to ditch the worldly mindsets that are overwhelming you and delaying your arrival so you can pick up the cadence of heaven for the pursuit of purpose in the Kingdom instead, this is your episode.

160// How do you know* if you're focused on and working towards the "right thing" right now?Is it just me, or do you tend to get a little (or a lot) overwhelmed if you don't know exactly what you should be doing right now* while working towards a goal or a particular outcome? It doesn't even have to be an imminent deadline. I just like to know that I'm "on pace" and moving in the right direction. I don't want to waste my time!

I've found that this overwhelm can ramp up even more if the reason we're transitioning into a new season or assignment is because something else has unexpectedly ended or if the new thing came up super fast and we didn't have a lot of time to think it through first. But I think the worst overwhelm gets served when we've already stepped into something new and have started moving, and then hit a massive roadblock. Now we're questioning whether we're in the right spot, if we're doing it right, or if we even heard God right about this assignment in the first place. Have you ever been here?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I want to talk about how you can know (like, deep down in your spirit kind of knowing) that you're working on the right assignment for the season you're currently in. If you've been wondering "Is this really what I'm supposed to be doing right now? Am I on the right track? Am I on time? or Did I just hear Him wrong?," this is the episode for you, my friend.

159// Underneath the myriad reasons we give for why we can't take time to rest right now lurks a common root cause: We simply do not feel safe to slow down and rest. Ever.Have you ever considered that, underneath that pile of "really good reasons" for why you just can't slow down right now might be hiding a root cause of fear? Specifically the fear that, if you stop and stay still for any amount of time, you won't be safe. Something bad will happen. I know, it's uncomfortable to think about.

Years ago when I was wrestling with a bout of severe postpartum anxiety, I suffered from a symptom called akithisia -- a constant felt need to pace and keep moving with a severe sense of dread and heightened anxiety when you try to sit down and be still, even for a minute. I began to research the root cause of this condition and came to understand that my body actually thought I was in danger 24/7 and needed to keep moving. My nervous system kept sending signals to "MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" I literally didn't feel safe to rest.

But even when I got my PPA worked out and was feeling better, I still experienced moments of dread and heightened anxiety when I thought about being still, sitting with my thoughts or simply "doing nothing." And I began to realize that I was stuck in a cycle of hypervigilance that never really left me. And the roots I uncovered beneath hypervigilance are what prompted me to record this podcast episode. Hypervigilance becomes a lifestyle when you don't feel safe to rest and trust God in the moment, and it'll run you ragged.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're digging into the protective coping mechanism called hypervigilance and how it perpetuates a lie we've learned at some point in our lives that we "really aren't safe if we stay still and rest." I'll start us off with some Biblical truth around rest and our capacity and need for it, and then I'll share four practical strategies for helping you to step out of hypervigilance and into the kind of trust in God that makes you to be able to lay down in green pastures (Psalm 23). Are you ready to rest without stress, my friend? If so, Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

158// Have you found yourself "rescheduling" your quiet time to "tomorrow" so you can deal with more "pressing" needs instead? How many times does that need to happen before you start to see a negative shift in your mood, energy, attitude or productivity?The Daily Quiet Time. It's like a foundational habit in the life of a born again Christian. Until it isn't. For many of us, life just starts to get in the way: a new job with an earlier starting time, a baby or a toddler who makes the morning less of a routine and more of a "spin the wheel" surprise, or maybe even a health situation that's requiring a bit more sleep in the AM. But is our daily connection with God really a negotiable? Will we wind up with anything in that deal if we give it up, day after day?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing the reason why you cannot afford to miss your daily quiet time. And I've got science to back it up, Sis. I'm also showing you how to plan a simple yet effective 30-minute quiet time you can do each and every day, even if you need to shrink those 30 minutes down to 15. Sound good?

These negative thought loops can be broken. It just takes understanding what drives them and a few bits of Biblical wisdom for how to swap the negative thoughts out for better ones.

154// So, Harrison Butker "went and did it" when he shared during his commencement address at Benedictine College that he suspected many women will find their greatest fulfillment in the vocations of marriage and motherhood. And the internet. Went. WILD.Quite frankly, I find it fascinating that so many people who do not identify as staunch Catholics actually cared about his comments at all. I mean, WHY do we care? Why are we even listening to a commencement address being shared at a traditionally conservative, Catholic college if we don't go there, have kids graduating from there and/or are not Catholic? I believe it's because of the "outrage mentality" and "cancel culture" we've curated into our online platforms over the last decade, and I think this is dangerous on many levels. But primarily it's making folks forget that (a) not everything applies to us, and (b) we don't have to "weigh in" with our personal opinion on things that don't apply to us. But I digress.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I want to unpack this question, "Can Christian Women Be Breadwinners?". Because, in light of this "women's rights whirlwind" that got set off when folks started responding to Butker's statements, we would do well to get into the Bible and see what the Word of God has to say about a woman's role, specifically around working outside the home and bringing in an income. Is God "cool" with a woman working outside the home and "bringing home the bacon?"Are you ready to unpack some scripture on this and get down to what the Bible has to say about our core role and responsibilities as godly women and what this means to our purpose and positioning in life?

153// You can't beg, borrow or buy more time in this life, but you can* do things to increase the quality and impact of the years you've been given when you steward your health well.*I became a certified holistic health coach almost a decade ago because I felt the Lord leading me to do so. He spoke two things to me in 2014 that inspired me to embrace my role in helping His people in the area of their health:

First, He reminded me that His Body, the Church, should be the healthiest body on the face of the planet, and yet we are not. The statistics around illness and death are no different for those within the Body than they are for the general public. With everything we have available to us -- the blood of Jesus, His stripes that He bore for us, the alive and active Word of God, prayer for healing, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit -- we should be walking in a very different experience when it comes to our health. This fired me up to help God's people to apprehend every good thing He has won for us including vibrant and robust health in this life.

Second, He inspired me with a passion to teach people how to steward their own health in such a way that they'd live long enough and strong enough to do and be all He created them for. I have such a fire on the inside of me to help people pick up their own personal responsibility and sufficiency in Him when it comes to stewarding their health excellently. Zeroing in on the seven pillars of wellness without overwhelm has been a big part of articulating how folks can step into this responsibility and sufficiency powerfully without being constantly plagued with stress and anxiety as they're walking it out.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing the seven pillars of wellness without overwhelm and a little bit about why you really need to embrace an approach of stewarding your own health well right now. It's time to be discipled and apprenticed in the fullness of life, and this includes the area of health and wellness. If you don't have your health, how will you GO for Him, my friend? Are you ready to be empowered in the area of stewarding your health for His glory? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

152// God made man on the sixth day and then He rested. Which means man's first day of existence was a day of rest and reflection. We were designed to do all things from rest first.I remember having this revelation almost ten years ago when listening to a talk by Graham Cooke -- "If God brought man into the world and then immediately immersed him in rest, why am I continually organizing my life and efforts in such a way that I'm working towards and for rest instead of from it? Why am I doing it backwards?" And if I made the adjustment to approach my work and order Biblically -- from Rest -- would I be less tired and worn out? Would I have less to complain about and experience disappointment around?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a word on rest that I recently released at REVIVE Church of Tampa, my home church. We looked at Genesis 1:23-2:3 and Hebrews 3:7-4:13 so we could have a better grasp and understanding of how real rest is the right place to start any and every endeavor in life. Are you interested to know how that works? Ready to experience less worry, weariness and burnout along the Christian road as you bring the Kingdom with Him?

150 // Compliance only works as long as you're compliant. Willpower is not the fuel that'll get you to breakthrough.Do you need a different experience when it comes to your finances? Maybe you've done all the programs, followed all the plans, used all the budgeting apps "they" told you to, but you're still feeling like "this isn't it." Do you know deep down that you're meant for more in this life, and being bullied by your bank account and budgeting spreadsheets just isn't the road that'll get you there?

Here's the truth: Snowball strategies, cash envelopes and "we'll load it all in for you and organize it" budgeting apps are not enough to prosper you financially. If you do not trade in faulty mindsets for a Kingdom mindset around money, and if you won't swap out those compliance and duty habits for something with real LIFE in it, you're going to keep getting the same result every single time you stop religiously following "the program." This is the straight up reality of human nature, my friend.

So what can you do to get a different result? How can you experience real breakthrough in your finances and learn to prosper as you steward the resources God has given you?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm going to help you feel safe enough to admit where you really are right now when it comes to your finances, and to actually assess your positioning. Then I'm going to offer you to join me in something that I absolutely know can help you get positioned to prosper in your personal finances.

149// To get a different result, you'll have to DO something different.But what do you do when you've been trying to do something different for so long and your results still aren't changing? What do you do when you've kind of been playing with the idea of just settling for what you've got currently because it seems practically impossible to get to where you've been trying to go for so long?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're unpacking the anatomy of getting a different result, even if you have gotten the same one over and over again, no matter what you've tried. We'll look at the Biblical perspective first so we've got a firm foundation and then we'll jump into the science behind behavioral changes and neuroplasticity and how to practically change neural pathways so you can live on a different "autopilot" to get a different result consistently.

148// You know that thought of "I just can't anymore" is a scheme of the enemy, right? That's not your own thought, Sis.And you've figured out that the unrelenting temptation to fly under the radar, find a place to pull the covers over your head and just be invisible for a bit, that's coming from him, too, yeah?

It's been a long and tough season of the devil working the Daniel 7:25 play on the saints (that's the one where, when he can't kill us or otherwise take us out, he wears us out!), but it's time for us to see it for what it is and to remember who we are, Whose we are and what we're capable of in Christ Jesus. Are you ready to stand up and get your GO back in His name, no matter what?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sounding the alarm for all of us who need to be reminded that we're meant to be a front-footed family of God, a Kingdom people who don't shrink back but, instead, walk by faith and see different outcomes appear, and more-than-conquerors in Christ Jesus who can do #allthethings through Him if we will simply believe and trust and keep going with Him. This is a straight up "Come to Jesus and then run with Him" word, my friend! So, if you're ready to get riled up in the Lord and reminded of what you've been put here to do, if you're ready to get reset, refilled and reminded of your purpose in Him and that it's time to rally, then -- Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

147// If you want to truly prosper in this life, you're going to have to actively steward your health. There's no way around it. But, Hey! Before you hit pause . . .I work primarily with ambitious, multi-passionate, Christian women who want to fully succeed in their life's purpose while fully pleasing the heart of God along the way. These girls . . . They are down to do hard things! But the minute I start to talk to them about actively stewarding their everyday health so they can be around long enough and strong enough to do and be all God created them for, so many of them disconnect from the conversation. They quietly back away.

They'll say, "Erica, I'm HERE for your preaching and Bible teaching, for your discipleship sessions and your practical trainings around everything from relationships to finances, and even your Kingdom business and entrepreneurial coaching, but the minute you start to zero in on this health topic . . . " That's where the resistance shows up.

Even though these gals will readily admit they are struggling with low energy, erratic mood, inability to lose weight, aches and pains, chronic stress and anxiety, or other nagging health issues, so many of them take the approach of, "I'm just gonna keep on praying and see what God will do." Let me give you a spoiler alert right now: God ain't gonna do anything if you're waiting on Him to do the part that He's actually empowered you to do!

Do you see what the real issue is here? It's OVERWHELM. The idea of focusing on wellness from a personally responsible, holistic perspective overwhelms many people because they don't have the baseline knowledge or skill-sets they believe they need (rightly so) in order to steward their health well, and then, when they realize they have to learn something new if they want to be successful, they stress that they don't have enough time in their life to learn it. And that's when more overwhelm rushes in. It's a vicious cycle, and I believe it's a scheme of the enemy designed to keep us stressed and reacting while our health continues to take a backseat for the long haul.

Is this you, friend? Do you relate? Are you experiencing this sort of overwhelm while knowing, deep down, it's time to get focused on how you're stewarding your health? If so, this episode is for you! I'm going to be breaking down how to stward your health without the overwhelm by giving you five main areas to focus your attention on, and then I'll give you a strategy for baby-stepping your way to expert-level stewarding without confusion, frustration or burning out in the process. Are you ready for this breakthrough session that'll set you free? Alright then, Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!JOIN THE BEACON LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY!

146// 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."How are you doing with the will of God in Christ Jesus for you when it comes to rejoicing and giving thanks?

145// A transformative discussion with Jessica Chapman on the power of maintaining relational connection as we minister deliverance in Jesus' name.

Have you ever experienced deliverance for yourself or been in the room when someone else was receiving this type of ministry? What was that like? Were there parts that were scary? Or maybe aggressive? Did it even "work?"

Are you a part of a church that invites deliverance ministers into services as opposed to operating in this ministry "in house?" Or have you ever had to go outside your church family to access the freedom that deliverance brings -- spirit, soul and body? What if it was supposed to be that you could remain firmly planted and receiving, in the house God put you in, while receiving deliverance ministry that got you the freedom you so desperately needed while also maintaining the healthy and necessary familial relationships all around you to help you walk out that newly received freedom?

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm chatting with Jessica Chapman, Director of the Prayer, Prophetic and Deliverance Ministry at REVIVE Church of Tampa, about how we can experience more powerful and lasting deliverance when we receive this type of ministry within the house God has planted us in, with the people He's placed us with.

144// As Christians, we know complaining "ain't it," right?

Philippians 2:14-16 tells us to do all things without grumbling, disputing or complaining, but there seems to be this thing deep down inside of all of us that needs to feel heard and seen, and that we're not alone in difficult circumstances. And so, we give voice to the pain and suffering, and we're not always aware of the way we're doing it.

But then our situations don't improve. Maybe we feel stuck, even. And we start to wonder, "Could it be the way I'm talking about my situation or experience? Surely God understands my need to process this pain and suffering, right?"

How do we process out our negative thoughts and feelings around experiences and situations without reaping the negative consequences of grumbling and complaint? That's what we're getting into on this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. Are you ready to dig in? Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

142 // When Jesus said He would build His Church, what sort of Standard do you think He was setting for us to follow? Can we really be Holy and Perfect as the prophets and Jesus exhorted us to be in the Scriptures?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a message I preached at our last REVIVE Church of Tampa Leader Night on the Holy Standard that Jesus has established in His Church. We're pressing past the discomfort of considering the fact that we're falling so short and making excuses, and heading straight into the beautiful truth that we can be perfected and made Holy and fit for His service when we trust in Jesus and follow Him. Are you ready for this sharpening word of leadership? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

141// Do you think Jesus was a rebel?

Think past the cute Christian statement t-shirts emblazoned with those words and dig into scripture instead. What do you think you'll find? Listen, I'm going to spill the beans . . .

While Jesus was definitely a "disrupter" and went against the grain of culture and those in authority, He was perfectly submitted to His Father and aligned with perfect authority. He was the furthest thing from being a rebel you'll ever find! It's this watering down of rebellion (and the twisting of its real nature) that's got the Church in a tight spot these days.

A few months ago while sitting in a quiet time with the Lord, I heard Him say this thing to my heart: "Erica, tell the Church: Listen to Me. Do it like this. Do it now." And immediately my heart was flooded with the sense that the heart of the Father was longing to pull His kids out of oncoming traffic that was sent to wreck us. His mercy, mixed with urgency and power, was palpable. This is a NOW Word out of the throne room, Church. This is a message I'm obediently delivering and I pray you will allow the Holy Spirit to have place in your heart as this word finds it's planting place in you.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm addressing the spirit of rebellion that's infiltrated the Church and convinced her she has to protect and provide for herself at all costs. I'm exposing the roots of this insidious spirit and declaring the antidote so we can be rightly positioned and prepared for what's just up ahead in these end times. Are you ready?

138// "I already know I need to be reading my Bible, Erica." {{insert eye roll}}

Listen, Sister, I have ZERO desire for trying to convince you that you need to be reading your Bible. If Jesus is your Lord and Savior and you've got His Spirit in your heart, chances are this bit of wisdom around getting His word into your heart regularly has already occurred to you . . . multiple times. So why would I even be doing a podcast episode about it? Here's why . . .

I felt the Lord say to me, "Erica, hold space for the ones who know they need to be reading my Word every day, but they're still not doing it yet." He told me to put the reminder on blast for you!

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm holding space for you to not only hear the Lord on this direction, but so that you can also make a plan for how you're going to action this wisdom as you head back out onto the road of your life. You cannot afford to be missing out on your daily dose of Truth and encouragement, my friend. So, if you're ready to be reminded of why you need to be reading your Bible (daily) -- and if you're ready to make the adjustments necessary to do it -- I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

137// But seriously . . . why are we always those people who think we need to figure it out, clean it up, get it done all on our own?When I was little, I marveled at how my mom could do a full grocery shop for a family of five and then come home and grab every single bag out of the car, at once, and carry it into the house . . . in one trip! I aspired to be like her.

It wasn't until I was in my twenties and did her little "grocery grab" trick in front of her that I found out the real reason for her "do it all on my own" approach -- her requests for help were minimized or ignored for so long that she finally stopped asking for it. She learned to carry heavy things all by herself in one trip because she knew she was going to have to do it alone anyway, so she might as well make it quick. Are you crying right now, too?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're getting into the reasons for why we insist on doing hard and heavy things alone, even though we're not designed for it. There are some lies and fears we need to exchange for truth today, my friend! If you're ready to make the exchange and get back to the kind of "let's go together" lifestyle He created us for, go grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

136// Are your efforts to reconcile in a relationship -- with God or with another person -- seemingly not working? It might be that you're missing one of these three Rs.I've been on a journey with the Lord the last three years to truly understand what it means to be a "minister of reconciliation." (2 Corinthians 5:18) What I have found is that, despite our best intentions and/or our most devoted efforts, we can fail to reconcile our heart to God or to another person because we're failing to truly action one or more of three specific sanctification steps that lead to real reconciliation.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm revealing what the three steps to true reconciliation are, and how to do them authentically so they lead to real heart reconnection. Are you ready to learn how to stop going around the same mountain of misunderstanding and argument and get to real reconciliation? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

134// Do you know you could be dreaming bigger?Recently while scrolling social media, I saw a post sharing this thought: "Sarah wanted a baby. God wanted to birth a nation." It got me thinking, and asking the Lord --

  • Why do we dream so small most of the time?
  • What does this habit of dreaming small do to the quality of our lives?
  • How can we become the Big Dreamer God designed us to be so we can see the fullness of His promise and blessing manifest in our lives and into the earth?

On this quick episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing what I felt the Lord speaking to my heart as answers to these questions. Would you like to dream bigger without fear or limitation? Are you ready to have more impact as you receive the "big picture" God is wanting to show you?

133// Who doesn't love seeing acceleration in their life?

Human beings seem to be wired to "just get there already." But the cadence of the Kingdom of God is actually in the NOW. God, and everything He brings with Him, is always right on time (see Isaiah 60:22). So why is it that we're so enamoured with the idea of jamming on the gas pedal and getting to the finish line?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing 3 Kingdom principles that will help you to be able to see acceleration from a Kingdom perspective, and to step into acceleration appropriately in any area of your life.

132// How do you pivot while not losing the "plot" on your life?

What do you do when the Lord calls an "audible" right in the middle of what feels like a crucial part of the "game" of life? For some of us, our minds can go immediately to the thought, "Did I do something wrong?". But what if these audibles are meant to simply help us stay flexible on the road of our purpose? What if the pivots, reframing and course adjustments aren't so much about us getting our purpose wrong, but more about realizing that the surroundings, weather and atmosphere can shift and change even as our purpose remains constant?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a bit about my own reframing process over the last six months, and how it's affected this podcast and the business that I've been building for the last eight years. I felt the Lord nudging me to share this story with you because it truly can benefit anyone who finds themselves in a season of pivot and reframing who's fearing "losing" their purpose. He doesn't want you to give up on your purpose or think that it's changed. It hasn't! Maybe just the neighborhood you're going through or the weather that's passing through has. And that's okay!

So, are you ready to learn how to reframe an area of your life without losing your purpose, friend? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

131// Are you an "undercover" control freak?C'mon! Be honest . . . Are you a Christian who knows control ain't "cute," but you just can't seem to stop? Maybe you've made major strides with releasing control and can say, "Well, I used to be really bad, but now it's just a little bit." But is that little bit of controlling you're allowing still causing a major drain in your life? Would you like to break free from the compulsion of feeling like you've got to be in charge of #allthethings and have more peace in your everyday?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're getting into the hypervigilant nightmare that is control addiction. I used to be a major control freak (not even going to try to justify it), but God truly helped me to walk out of the compulsion of it all to see what was really driving it and what I needed to do to get realigned with Him so I could access peace and freedom in all its fullness. Are you ready to know what the Bible says about "good" and "bad" control? Would you like to know how to determine whether you're addicted to "bad" control or what you can do to stand steadfast in the Bible-approved kind of control?

130// What do you do when it doesn't look like what God said?We've all been there. We hear the Lord speak to our heart, we craft the vision board, we support the promise with scripture. And then . . . we wait.

Let me ask you, how well do you wait? Does doubt creep in? How about disappointment?

What do you do when you begin to believe that there's NO way that what God said could come to pass, or when you're completely gutted with the belief that it's just taking too long? How do you get back to faith in what God has said?

128// Be honest . . . Do you feel overwhelmed a lot of the time?

I had a good pray and a think before I titled this episode. I knew it would seem like I was making an assumption, and we all know what happens when we assume, right? 😉 But here's something I know about the women I connect with and serve based on hundreds of conversations and message exchanges --

We're all dealing with overwhelm. We just are. And the worst part is, we're putting on a face and soldiering through it, day in and day out. We're not admitting it, we're not calling it out, and most of the time we feel powerless to make it go away.

127// We've got to have a "Come to Jesus" around this lie we believe . . .

You know it's a lie, right? I mean, God created you and placed you into a world where He made time "a thing." That means He was totally aware when He created works for you to do (Ephesians 2:10) that you were going to need "enough" time to get things done. So why is it that that we can find ourselves believing that we don't have enough time to get things done in our lives?

I believe there are three practical reasons for why we experience the feeling of "not enough time." I also believe there is one common, underlying mindset we carry that drives us to believe that we don't have enough time. On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're going to get into it. So if you're ready to get radically released from the stronghold that is the lie of not having "enough time," I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

126// If your day is fraught with overwhelm and overly emotional reactions, it might be time to look at your quiet time, Sis (or lack thereof).

I know that might sound like I just got all up in your business real quick, but this is one of the easiest fixes when we find ourselves stuck in patterns that don't serve: Spending QT with Jesus consistently. If you've been feeling like life is way harder than it should be, check your quiet time.

  • Are you spending time with Jesus on the daily?
  • Are you having time with Him first thing in the morning?
  • Are you staying focused on the convo you're having with Him?

Most times when I get into a conversation with someone about this topic, they will say to me, "Erica, I want to have a quiet time every day, but I find that I don't have enough time for it." Listen, friend -- it's quality over quantity. Most folks who say this to me are saying it because they're trying to find a spot to do a two-hour deep dive or lay on the floor and soak in Jesus until their adrenals wake back up. But what if I told you that you could have a life changing experience if you simply set 30 minutes aside, first thing in the morning, to hang with Jesus? Would you do it?

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing the five components of an effective, 30-minute quiet time. I've been doing this routine for over a decade and I'm telling you -- It will fix your days. Seriously. So, if you're ready to make the commitment to a daily, 30-minute, first-thing-in-the-morning quiet time and want to learn about how to get it done excellently, grab your Bible, a journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

125// What about your life would be radically different if you had a consistent and highly effective prayer time each morning?

Listen, I get it. We're all busy, right? We'd like to just be able to multitask our convo with God each day as we're taking care of the practicalities of life at the same time.

But I've got to be honest with you . . .

Prayer works best when it's a regular, one on one conversation with Him. And it's most fruitful when we have a convo like that every single day, first thing in the morning.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm giving you a three-step process for effective prayer and I'm handing you a free guide you can use to make implementing the process almost effortless.

123// Is your invitation falling flat because you haven't realized it's actually a process?

I'm sharing a message I recently shared at my home church of REVIVE Church of Tampa around what it really takes to effectively invite someone to Come and See what Jesus and His Kingdom. Whether, for you, that means inviting someone to a church service or simply into a conversation about what Jesus has done for you, it's generally going to take more than just one "touch." As I've studied the story of Jesus inviting the Samarian woman at the well to Come and See, I've noticed seven distinct steps to an effective invitation.

It's time to press back on the disappointment that has come from asking someone to visit your church, only to hear "No" repeatedly. It's time to let go of the false expectation that the direct invite is the only step in truly encouraging someone to Come and See.

122// Let's talk about the stress competing priorities can bring.

It's the worst, right? You just want to do the things you're meant to do. You want to run your race well. But then . . . you find yourself with overwhelming handfuls of responsibilities and tasks -- ALL which feel vital and MANY that are competing for the limited time, resources and energy you have. What do you do?

For many of us, this is right where we get taken out with overwhelm. We settle for the approach that says, "Well, I'll just do the best I can. It can't all get done. So let me just get done what I can." Has there ever been a more self-defeating cadence of words to speak over yourself? You're prophesying your failure before you even get started!

Listen, the problem isn't that you're not equal to the task of doing all you were made to do. The mistake made is in believing that every single thing that presents itself to you with urgency is something you were made and assigned to do! And there's also some breakdown in the process by which we prioritize the things we were actually made and assigned to do. The lack of clarity when it comes to priorities is wearing us down!

Do you want to know what the Biblical standard for prioritizing responsibilities is? Do you want to learn how to diffuse a lot of the stress and anxiety that comes from competing priorities in your life? If your answer is yes, then this week's episode is for you! Grab your Bible, your journal and your pen, and . . . Let's Go!

121// I'm sharing an excerpt from this month's Jesus Girl Gang Masterclass.When you make a sound for the Lord, it can move things. It can stop things, it can start things. It can even sustain things. And, listen, I'm not here for the whole "Christians can't manifest anything" conversation. That is simply an unbiblical stance. If you speak the word of God out of a believing heart then you have no choice but to watch things manifest from the sound you've made. Isaiah 55:11, my friend. Also, go check out episode 88 of the podcast -- Is Manifestation a Christian Thing?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a piece of the message I shared at our JGG Masterclass this month. Let me warn you as we step in: I'm talking quantum physics, demonic portals, conspiracies and the science of sound on this one. Are you ready to go on a bit of a Holy Spirit-sanctioned "woo" journey?

THE GBX BURN CHALLENGE STARTS FEB 27 · For years as a health coach, I avoided offering weight loss programs and products to my community because I found most of them to be toxic and trauma-inducing. Nearly every program or product I came across absolutely ignored the foundational health issues and root causes that drove the weight gain symptom to happen in the first place. Until now.

Amare, the company I proudly partnered with four month ago, just launched a new product and program that takes a foundational health approach to weight loss and healthy body composition. I'm excited to invite you into the GBX Burn 90-Day Challenge with me! To learn more about the Challenge, the program products and even the comprehensive plan we'll be following during the Challenge, head over to ericapyle.com/burnbrightly.

120// Discussions about weight loss are tricky. Always have been, but over the past few years it seems like the "danger zone" around this topic has become much wider and a lot sharper. Is it just me, or are you sensing this, too?

I've been on both sides of the weight spectrum during my life. During my first pregnancy, at age 34, I gained over 100 pounds. And I was only 120 pounds to begin with! No matter what I did during that pregnancy, I couldn't keep from gaining weight. As I fought through borderline gestational diabetes, I remember being in literal pain from the amount of weight I was carrying on my frame. I felt powerless and ashamed that I had "allowed" myself to get this way. I had no idea my situation had absolutely nothing to do with willpower or self-control.

During my second pregnancy, I started out pretty good, but at around month six, things took an old, familiar turn. It was during my eighth month, at a routine check-up with a midwife I hadn't met with before that I was scolded for putting on so much weight and told, "It's as simple as calories in and calories out, dear. Control it." Again, I felt shame and fear that, no matter what I tried, I couldn't control my weight. I worried during those weeks that I was putting my baby in danger, and that I was a bad mom.

But after giving birth to my second son, I lost every bit of that pregnancy weight -- and then some! -- in less than two months. I spiraled into postpartum anxiety and dealt with almost-daily panic attacks. I wasn't eating or sleeping well, and I was constantly worrying and pacing. I dropped to a dangerously low weight. Others complimented me on my ability to get my "pre-baby body" back, but inside I was afraid. I knew something was very wrong.

Fast forward through years of pursuing foundational, holistic healing and I've come to learn something very important: Weight issues are rarely an issue of self-control and will power. Weight issues -- whether it's more than you were designed to carry or not enough to sustain you properly -- are always a symptom of a deeper root condition. Nine times out of ten, these issues run right through digestive and hormonal imbalances, and stress always plays a part.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I wanted to open up a discussion about happy, healthy weight so we could deal with the shame and fear, once and for all, and find strategies to harness the power of God and bring it to bear on our weight loss (or weight gain) journeys. Is this a conversation you need to sit in on? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!THE GBX BURN CHALLENGE STARTS FEB 27 · For years as a health coach, I avoided offering weight loss programs and products to my community because I found most of them to be toxic and trauma-inducing. Nearly every program or product I came across absolutely ignored the foundational health issues and root causes that drove the weight gain symptom to happen in the first place. Until now.

Amare, the company I proudly partnered with four month ago, just launched a new product and program that takes a foundational health approach to weight loss and healthy body composition. I'm excited to invite you into the GBX Burn 90-Day Challenge with me! To learn more about the Challenge, the program products and even the comprehensive plan we'll be following during the Challenge, head over to ericapyle.com/burnbrightly.

118// Have you been self-sabotaging? Lately, I've been making some "big moves" in the business and ministry space. If I'm being honest with you (and that is always my intention here on the podcast), I've got to admit that I am coming up on a familiar roadblock. You see, I've been around this mountain before -- at least six times, actually -- and there's always this spot where I start to freak out and think that "it's not going to work" and "all this effort I'm putting in is going to be an absolute waste." And it's right in this spot -- every time! -- that I seemingly "identify" this really big issue in a different area of my life that needs immediate attention. So I swing my attention and effort over to this "big problem," and begin to tell myself the story, "See! This is why I can never get all the way there. This is why I don't see breakthrough."

Are you familiar with this story or any of these thoughts and "happenings?" Do you find yourself getting 80-90% of the way to breakthrough, and then it just never fully breaks through? Do you find yourself daydreaming and planning for days (and weeks and months and years) and never quite actually starting? Do you find yourself "stuck" and justifying your stuckness by pointing to past failures and pain and saying, "See, I don't want that to happen again. So I'm being so smart by not 'taking the bait' and continuing to the finish line."? Do you find yourself getting distracted with other "shiny objects" or seemingly "five alarm fire" issues and pivoting away from the fight you've been called to finish? These are all indicators of self-sabotage, my friend. I think we need to talk about it.

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're going to call out this self-sabotage stuff, understand where it comes from, and discuss Biblical principles and strategies that can help us to stop doing it so we can finally step into the fullness of victory that God has planned for us. Are you ready to get all the way there in the things God has called you into? Are you done partnering with the enemy in his strategy to take you out from the inside? If so, this episode's for you.

117// Are you experiencing a pivot within your purpose? I am, and can I just tell you . . . it feels a little "bouncy" in here right now! But here's the thing:

A signal to pivot within your purpose doesn't mean you are wrong. It doesn't necessarily mean you heard wrong or that you've been going in the wrong direction. It can simply mean, "Let's make a small course adjustment. I want to show you something over here." These course corrections are where we find refinement, character building, strength, resiliency, fresh perspective, provision and upgrades, in Christ Jesus.

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing six strategies for navigating the pivot that can come within purpose that will help you to stay the course with Jesus, successfully avoiding confusion, distraction, overwhelm and burnout as you adjust. Do you need these six strategies? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

116// Are you ready to pioneer in this season by God's grace?

It sounds like a great idea, right? "Oh, YES, we're definitely going to rely on His grace for everything we do!" But then we step in and get started, and it starts to feel like a grind, slow going -- or worse -- like you're spinning your wheels. Why isn't it working?

In this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a message from a recent REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out event where I talked about what it's going to take to pioneer excellently and effectively with Jesus in this season as we bring the Kingdom. We need to be "fit" -- spirit, soul and body -- if we're going to pioneer successfully, and there are specific things you can do to get fit in each of these areas. But you'd do best to get there by His grace and not in your own strength and striving.

Are you ready to be reminded on what it's going to take to pioneer excellently and effectively with Jesus in this season to bring the Kingdom and to disciple others to do it, too? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

115// Revival has had the spotlight for decades in the Church, but God says it's time for Reformation. It's time for the Reformers to rise.

The Church has been in a decades-long love affair with the pursuit of revival. And while I'm obviously a big fan of any move of God that would ignite the hearts of the sons and daughters of God to worship and praise Him and to bring Him Glory as His wonder working power is manifest in the earth and carried from generation to generation . . .

Revival is not sustainable without good theology and a people who are steadfast on the foundation of Christ. We are a Church who has, in many ways, fallen away from our first love. We've allowed bad habits to inhabit our meetings and our culture as we primarily pursue His signs, miracles and wonders and the "feeling" of God moving in meetings. We've not properly concerned ourselves with things like holiness and sanctification, repentance and a passion for right alignment, leaning instead into concepts of hyper-mercy and codependency as the world teaches us that this is what it really looks like to be "Christian." We've learned to be more "in our feels" than in full obedience to Him. But there is a shift coming . . .

In the next five to ten years, I believe "church" is going to look very different. God is calling the Church into a position where we will be an army of believers who know how to preach the Good News with power, a servant-hearted family of God who can traverse suffering AND sit at the King's table, a righteous remnant who prays effectively, and a disciplined community of disciplers who can confidently lead others into how to follow the real and living Jesus with humility and confidence. To get to this place of "different," it will take God's Reformers to rise up and to begin to lead the people into this place of divine alignment and righteous reconciliation with the plan, purpose and pattern that God has for the Church in these last days.

Reformation and revival are two very different things. They don't sound alike, they don't feel the same and they certainly don't gather people the same way. The timelines are different and the fruit doesn't develop according to the same pattern. So if you were designed as a reformer and you've been comparing yourself to revivalists, understand -- you've been comparing apples with oranges.

On this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing the difference between a reformer and a revivalist and why I believe it is absolutely essential that the Church catches the pivot of God in this season. He's bringing a wave of reformation, and it's time for the reformers to rise. If you're a reformer who needs to be reminded and refreshed in this season when you're being called to stand steadfast and not be moved as you make your sound, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

114// What is God doing in the Church as we step into a new year? While I do not consider myself a "big P" prophet, I do believe the Lord speaks to all of us and each of us has the ability to prophesy by the anointing and power of God. Every year, right around the end of September, the Lord will begin to speak to me about the coming year. This year was no different, and I have some things I feel assigned to share with you about the Church in this season and how we are to position ourselves to bring the Kingdom and to bring Him glory. So let me ask you . . .

Are you ready to Pioneer?

On this episode of the podcast, I'm unpacking a word on Pioneering and the rise of the Ekklesia in this hour. Let's dig in together. Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

113// You know the thing I'm talking about, right? That thing that's convinced you it's not going to move, and you're just going to have to deal with it, as is? Yeah, that thing. What are you going to do about it as you step into a new year?

I'm not one who's much for new year's resolutions, but I will admit that the turning of a new year consistently presents with a sense of fresh possibility. So, why not ride the wave?

And in true Positioned to Prosper style, let's go after the "big one," shall we? Let's run at fear that tries to convince us our situation won't get any better than it is right now. The fear that dangles the thing you've been wanting to see change in, or at least some positive movement on -- that thing that just needs to HAPPEN already -- right in front of you, and then says, "Not gonna happen, so just settle down and accept it already!" Yeah, let's run at that bad boy, shall we? And let's tell it who our God is!

On this episode of the podcast, I'm challenging you to go after the Big One with fresh vigor as we step into the new year. Because -- hear me in this -- you were MADE to win! Even through this thing that seems impossible, you were made to win. You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus, and in Him you have the victory. So if you're ready to get a little riled up, and then inspired to grab ahold of faith that God will do what He has promised no matter what it looks like right now, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

112// Are you a Spirit-filled woman who's looking to launch and build a Kingdom business or ministry in the coming year, and you want some help on how to get started? A little over a year ago, I felt the Lord urging me to form a small collective of entrepreneurial women out of those already gathered inside The Jesus Girl Gang (my online discipleship mentorship) who wanted to build businesses that could ultimately fund Kingdom endeavors. He was calling me to gather the Luke 8 Ladies.

Have you ever read the portion of scripture in Luke 8, verses 1-3? It references a few women who traveled with Jesus and His disciples as He ministered in the cities and villages throughout the region. The story goes that they funded Jesus' ministry out of their own substance. Women . . . funding the work of the Lord in the earth in Biblical times!

This is the sort of collective of women God is calling me to gather right now: A group of women who want to fund the Lord's work in the earth today by planning, building, launching, growing and establishing successful businesses by following Biblical principles, and flowing income from these endeavors into projects and causes that build the His Kingdom. So I've gotta ask . . . Are you one of these women?

One hurdle I experienced in this last year as I considered this assignment was a considerable amount of doubt. I was doubtful that I was the girl for this job because I hadn't yet built my business and ministry to a size that I thought "qualified" me to help women in this area.

But the Lord spoke to me a couple months ago and said, "Erica, the ones I'm calling you to help are the ones who need to finally START and NOT STOP. The ones I want you to help are the ones who struggle with the details of how to get something going, and then they get overwhelmed when it's time to keep going without quitting. You are designed and equipped to help those women to vision, plan, start, build, launch, grow and establish the business I've placed in their hearts, and you can show them how to get to a consistent monthly income flowing that will grow as they faithfully continue." So what do you think I said to Him?

You KNOW I said YES! In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm launching the Luke 8 Ladies Founders Offer. I'm sharing what it means to be a modern-day Luke 8 Lady, why I'm passionate to help and encourage women who identify as Luke 8 Ladies, and why I'm qualified to coach this collective of women as we build Kingdom businesses together, side by side. I'll also share a little bit of what we're going to be covering in this first year of the collective, as we meet monthly and chat regularly around all things business building in the Kingdom.

Does this sound like something God has for you in this season? Are you ready to START and NOT STOP and to push past the overwhelm to grow something with God that is meant to have an impact in the earth today? Are you meant to be a Luke 8 Lady? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and let's get into this episode!ARE YOU A LUKE 8 LADY FOUNDING MEMBER?

111// What does it look like to vision and make a plan in the Kingdom?

Years ago, I felt the Lord urge me to look and see what the Bible had to say about goals and goal setting. When I did, I found that goals -- at least the way we define and approach goals in our culture -- aren't really godly. Now, that's a big statement, I know, but it's important to run everything through the filter of scripture, right? And so as I did that, I came to understand that, while our present culture's take on goals isn't very godly, goals can actually be used in a godly manner -- as a tool -- to help us hold focus on Kingdom endeavors we're engaged in. Goals can be like a "budget" for our time and effort. The key is always going to be to ask: "Who's informing and approving the budget?"

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're going to go one step beyond contemplating if goals are godly (we've established that they can be on an earlier episode), to step into how to create this "time and effort budget" for the coming year in a Kingdom way. So if you're ready to get into it, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

109// Have you been wondering why you're not seeing what God has promised yet?Even though God has promised to perform His word when the time is right (Isaiah 60:22), there might still be something you're doing (or not doing) to cause a "delay" in its fulfillment. But what's really neat is that, there are some things you might be able to do to actually accelerate the fulfillment and breakthrough. Are you interested to know what these are?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing the main thing you can do to see God's word come to pass in a way that feels faster. I'm also giving you the 4 questions you can ask of God at any moment to position yourself for faster breakthrough. Are you ready to get into this?

108// Do you know the difference between Trust and Faith? I believe one of the reasons that the people of God do not see more breakthrough and manifestation of the promises of God is because we don't understand that there is a very real and important difference between trust and faith. When we don't understand there is a difference and what role each of these plays in bringing the Kingdom, we will settle for saying things like "I'm totally believing for that" without having the substance of faith anchoring that declaration into the living Word.

Trust (elpis) is a forerunner of real faith (pistis). It is the awareness and focused attention and action of trust that "connects" us to real faith and creates the substance of God's word being manifest. (James 2:14-26) But we've not been teaching this in Church. We've let people believe that somehow we have to just "believe harder" to see the promises come. But that's not it. We actually need to disciple the Church on how to place radical trust first, knowing that Hebrews 1 is truth when it says that "faith is the substance of things hoped (trusted) for . . . ." When we catch this and really receive it, we will connect to the real kind of faith that inherits the promises of God (Hebrews 6:12).

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a message I preached this past Sunday at my home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa. We're talking about the real, theological differences between trust and faith, why it's truly pivotal to know the difference, and how to place radical trust to see your faith literally come alive to bring the Kingdom. Are you ready for this? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

107// Have you been feeling like you're behind in life, running out of time, and lacking what you need to be truly successful?

I'd been feeling this a bit recently, and I decided to take some focused time to sit with the Lord on it. I'm approaching my 49th birthday, and it's recently felt to me like I've been wading through a bit of a "midlife crisis" season . . . for the better part of a decade! I knew I needed a good old fashioned, "come to Jesus" journaling session to get to the bottom of what was really going on here, and once I began downloading what I was hearing from the Lord, I just knew it would make a helpful podcast episode for all of us.

One of the first things I heard the Lord say clearly was: "There is never an appropriate time for a midlife crisis." Wow! So then I had to know: If there's never an appropriate time for something like this, then what is this weight I am currently experiencing, and how do I come out from under it? How can I get moving in a way that is infused with hope, faith and effectiveness that will bring ME a sense of fulfillment and YOU all the glory?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing all the things I learned as a result of that session with the Lord, as well as the things I learned as I faithfully walked out the words He's spoken to me over the past few months. So if you're ready to know how you can break free of those "I'm running out of time and I'm never going to make it" thoughts, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

106// Are you confident that YOU can hear God's voice? If there's ONE conversation I get into the most with believers, it would be this! There is so much confusion and doubt about whether the "voice" they are hearing is God, the enemy, themselves or someone else. This keeps us in a cycle of confusion and paralysis, and it's absolutely a scheme of the enemy. It's time for it to stop!

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm giving you the four things you need to do to ensure you're hearing the voice of God clearly, for yourself. If you'll do these four things, the confusion will leave and you will have confidence in your own ability to hear God at his word. And, consequently, you'll start to see things transform quickly in your life. Because THAT, my friend, is what hearing and believing God's word can do for you!

So if you're ready to settle this issue of whether you can hear God's voice for yourself or not, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

105// Has God called you to operate both in business and in ministry at the same time? If you said "Yes!" then you, my friend, have something I like to call a "Biznistry" -- Business + Ministry.

Years ago I operated solely in the marketplace, working for a massive, publicly traded company in their tax accounting department. But then, after 12 years of being in that realm, God called me to start serving exclusively in ministry. I "retired" from my job at the age of 33 (I had a retirement party just so I wouldn't be tempted to go back!) and began putting all my efforts into ministry activities. That went on for a few years until I felt the Lord nudging me again, this time to become a certified holistic health coach. All of a sudden, I was back in the business sphere again!

As I stepped back into business, I heard God saying that I wasn't to do just one or the other -- ministry OR business -- but instead, I was meant to do them both simultaneously, together. He said, "It's all one thing, Erica!" In all honesty, this overwhelmed me at first, so I went to the Word to see if something like this was even possible. And there I found it -- Acts 18 where it tells us that Paul, the apostle and church planter, was also a tentmaker! Over the years, as I walked with the Lord while building my Biznistry, I began to understand why it was so valuable to the heart of God that I could operate in both places as though they were one thing. But I'll tell you something . . . it didn't come without some significant difficulties!

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm asking you the question -- "Have you been called to a biznistry, too?" And if you have, how are you feeling about that right now? Are you experiencing any roadblocks or significant hurdles to accepting the mantle, and stepping into the fullness of such an assignment? I'll share with you all the tough spots I ran into, and how I was able to get through them and keep moving into the fullness of my purpose of Christ.

Alright, my friend, if you're ready to chat Biznistry, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

104// You know I LOVE a good conversation on gut health, right?

Maybe it's because I suffered with digestive and hormonal balances for decades of my life, and then God totally escorted me into radical healing, and that PUMPS me up. Or maybe it's the fact that, as a certified, holistic health coach that "specializes" in digestive and hormonal balance and support, I truly LOVE to help other people find their own road to healing (and that road ALWAYS leads through Gut Town, let's be honest 😆).

Whatever that reason is, I'm leaning into it this week on the podcast. That's what we've got going on in this week's Positioned to Prosper episode: A good convo on gut health. I'm breaking down the three "layers" of your digestive system and how each of these layers comes together to support the seat of (some experts say) more than 80% of your immune system and your body's neurotransmitter production.

Those facts right there are the reason why I always start with the gut when it comes to helping folks craft a plan that'll have them living long enough and strong enough to do and be all God created them for. Address gut issues and you'll likely address hormonal, adrenal, energy, sleep, mood and weight loss needs, too. #TrueStory

So if you'd like to "grab a cup of coffee" with me and talk about how to repair those important walls of your health, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

103// Where does being anxious for nothing happen? Is it a spirit, soul or body activity? You could argue that it's definitely a spiritual activity because we find this command in the Bible (Paul to the Philippians). But then there's also the argument, born of the world, that says the only way to address anxiety effectively is through physical and/or medicinal means. And what about the enlightened crew out there who understands that the mind plays a big part in how our thinking impacts how we feel and what happens in our body?

What if everyone is a little bit right? What if being anxious for nothing is all of them -- a spiritual activity, a soul activity and a physical body activity? What if the truth is: Being anxious for nothing has everything to do with every part of your triune being being properly aligned with each other and with Truth? (Spoiler Alert: That's totally what the Truth is!)

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm going to be walking us through the triune approach to being anxious for nothing. I'll share Biblical principles so you can see where the triune being framework comes from, and then I'll give you some practical strategies for your spirit, soul and body that you can engage with to see anxiety flee, and the peace that passes all understanding coming to guard your heart and mind, all while your body gets the memo that it can chill down and trust God fully.

Sound good? If you're ready for this, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

102// So, how do you feel about the vengeance of God? It's a tough one, isn't it? We love to hear about, talk about and meditate on the favor of God, but what if I told you that God's favor isn't full without His vengeance working in the same realm? It's true!

The word vengeance is synonymous with the word retribution. Retribution is defined as "recompense or reward." When you break down the word retribution into its prefix and root, you get "re" + "tribute." Re means "back", and tribute means "a payment made as a symbol of submission or the price paid for protection." Therefore, retribution, in a Biblical sense, is the process of God taking back that which we had paid to a false idol for a false sense of safety, and giving it back to the only One who is worthy -- His Son, Jesus Christ! This year will be a year of experiencing God's favor, even as we observe Him reattributing the things that were stolen by and improperly given to the enemy, so He can tribute them back to Jesus. How awesome is that?!

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a word around God's favor and vengeance that I brought to our church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, at last Sunday's prayer service. It's a word for the new year and the season we're stepping into. I shared the word during the weekend of Rosh Hashana -- the Jewish New Year -- as we stepped into year 5783. What is God wanting to show us about His favor and His vengeance as we step into this pivotal season? That's what we're exploring in this episode, so go and grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

101 // Are you in a wilderness season right now? When you find yourself in a "wilderness season," what do you think that means? What does it mean about you? About God? About your circumstances or the people around you? What does experiencing a wilderness season mean to your future and your ability to reach your dreams?

According to many of the women I've spoken with over the last few years about experiencing a wilderness season, most have said things like -- "Something must be wrong with me or how I'm doing things. I must be out of order. Or maybe it's that I just can't hear God. Maybe I did something wrong and that's why I can't hear him! Or I'm not trying hard enough? Oh, this is bad! I can't figure this out. I keep trying to find a way out of here, but I keep finding myself right back at this same spot. Maybe I'll never get out. Maybe this is the best it'll ever be. Maybe I should just decide to settle right here. Yeah, it's whatever." Do you hear yourself anywhere in this thought progression?

Here's the truth: God has placed purpose right in the midst of a wilderness season. And just as the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, there are times when He will lead you into a wilderness season, just the same. But if you do not know that there is purpose and development and upgrade there for you in that seemingly dry place, you'll start to doubt. And then you'll try to figure out how to escape a thing that God has designed to prosper you in the end. All the while, spinning your wheels, stressing out and then burning out. But that's not your portion.

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm going to be sharing with you the telltale signs of being "stuck" in a wilderness season for too long, what the purpose of the wilderness season is, the three phases you'll go through in this season, the upgrades available to you in each, how to navigate each phase to get the most out of them, and -- ultimately -- how to trust God to lead you to the exit door at just the right time, so you can come out in power. Just like Jesus did!

Are you ready to jump into this? I truly believe this twenty minutes could change your life if you came to the table hungry. So grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

100// We've reached Episode 100! So, what's next?

We're celebrating 100 episodes on this week's podcast and the celebration wouldn't be complete without thanking the listeners (that's YOU!) and a handful of other very special folks who encouraged, supported and discipled me along the way (visit the show notes here to see who I'm shouting out).

From the very first episode of Positioned to Prosper, I promised you that every installment would be grounded in three principles:

  • Every bit of wisdom, advice and teaching must find its foundations in the Word of God;
  • Presented life strategies must be Biblical and produce real results in real life; and
  • We're going to talk about real discipleship -- the kind Jesus demonstrated when He walked the earth.

I'm pleased to say we haven't veered from this plan at all as we made it to this milestone episode, praise Jesus! And I'm excited to report that, as we head into our second hundred episodes, we'll be bringing interviews to the party. Yes!

So if you have a person in mind that you'd love to see on the Positioned to Prosper podcast, head over to this post on my Facebook page, and drop their name in the comments. You can also drop any topics you'd like to see discussed on a future episode on this post, as well.

Thank you for being here! I'm so excited to continue on this journey with you.

p.s. -- Would you take a moment to leave a helpful review of the podcast on whichever platform you listen on? It helps others who are trying to find quality content to give a listen. I'd be so grateful. Xoxo - Erica

099// You know we're human BEINGS, not human DOINGS, right?

So, why do you think it is that we spend so much of our life focused on the tasks? Focused on the to-do lists, the what to do NOW, the what to do NEXT questions? I believe it has to do with our innate desire to be as "in control" as we can be at every single moment. Honestly, I think we're hanging on WAY too tight most days. Would you agree?

What if there was another way to get to where you really want to go in life -- walking fully in the promises God has spoken over you? What if the strategy of just trying to check all the boxes and do it as perfectly as possible was NEVER meant to be the way? Spoiler Alert: It never was.

Here's the truth: When you spend time with God to HEAR what He says about you and WHO He made you to be, when you take time each day to MEDITATE on the things you've heard from Him, and when you make a habit of DECLARING your identity over yourself on a regular basis and sharing it with others, you will KNOW your next best step in life. You will know, innately, how to walk out the journey of your life in such a way that you will feel fulfilled, and you will reach your destiny while God is glorified.

Sounds amazing, right? Then come have a listen as I share the four steps of getting to this place of prioritizing being over doing, my friend. Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

098// Do you know how to get better results in your life using Biblical principles?

If you've listened in on any popular productivity or business coach's podcast or trainings these days, you'll hear one mantra spoken more than any other:

"If you want to change your results, change your thoughts."

But I've found that if you make it your main goal to change your thoughts from sheer willpower and habit, it doesn't ever really stick like it should. And it doesn't really elevate and accelerate results like you'd hoped. Why?

Because Behavior is just an echo of Belief.

Your beliefs drive your thoughts. Your thoughts drive your feelings. Your thoughts and feelings drive your declarations. Your thoughts, feelings and declarations drive your actions. And your actions drive your results. The starting point of this whole cascade isn't thoughts. It's what you really believe deep down inside! So how do you tap into that and make the necessary adjustments?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we'll dig into what it really means to go back to the place of Belief to restart the cascade, so you can be seeing better results in your life . . . Biblically. I'll also be sharing three practical things you should be doing every single day to ensure that you start from the place of Belief every single time. So if you're ready to jump into it, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

097// Are you ready to talk about the real reason you're feeling stuck?

After ten years of co-leading a church with my husband and leading a women's discipleship community for just about as long, I've heard folks say "I'm stuck" a LOT. We've all been there, right? But I've come to realize that when this happens for a Christian, there are four main reasons for it. Some of the reasons might feel like an "of course!" to you, and some may be a little more hidden, but whichever reason has got you stuck in the proverbial quicksand, I've got the encouragement you need inside this episode to help you get unstuck.

I'm giving you the four main reasons for why we tend to get stuck, and then I'm sharing the Bible-based approach for how to get moving again in each scenario. Sound like something that could help you (or someone you know) right now? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

096// Does the Church need a little "Come to Jesus" chat right about now?

If you're someone who goes to Church meetings on the regular, let me ask you something . . .

Are you following a life philosophy or the real and living Jesus Christ? Did I offend? I certainly hope not, but I also know that this question tends to be a "button" these days for those who "identify as Christian," but are more into "buffet-style Christianity," taking the tenets of the Bible to be more of a target to be aimed at, instead of submitting to the Lordship of Jesus and His commands, and walking fully in the love He exampled for us to follow in.

It's sad, but it's true. The Church that Jesus is building has become "watered down" at the hands of some who feel safer keeping God in a box and making it all about a personal and manageable perspective of God and His Kingdom, while throwing in a whole host of pragmatic programs that prioritize meeting practical needs, sometimes over our spiritual ones.

It's time to let Jesus out of the box!

Jesus is ALIVE. And the Church He is building is meant to be alive, as well. Are we being encouraged, empowered and equipped in our Church communities to get out there and preach the Gospel and make disciples who follow the real Jesus? And are we engaging our own faith in the process? This is what we're getting into on this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. So, if you're ready to get into it, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

095// There are two things keeping you out of Biblical health territory -- and they aren't your self-discipline or the diet plan you're following.

Seven years ago I heard the Lord tell me to get my certificate in holistic health coaching. It wasn't so I could start a one-on-one health coaching practice (or even so I could pull myself out of a health relapse nose dive I was dealing with at the time). Nope, He told me to spend the time in prayer and Holy Spirit-led learning so I could teach His Church how to live long enough and strong enough to do and be all they were created for. He said this thing to me --

"Erica, my Church is meant to be the healthiest Body on the face of the planet. With everything I've made available to them -- my Word, the blood of my Son, the Holy Spirit to teach them and guide them, my grace -- they should be having a very different experience when it comes to their health and healing."

I was completely convicted and set on mission. And over the last seven years I've crafted a number of different faith-based "stewarding health well" programs that have helped folks to align their lifestyle with the Bible, to see vibrancy and stability come to their health. They've learned to build a resilient life according to the truth found in God's word, and they've received tremendous healing along the way.

But there tend to be two specific roadblocks I see folks struggle with on the journey to stewarding health well, and on this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm putting them on blast. If we can see these roadblocks, identify them, and exchange them in Christ for something better, we can continue on the journey to Biblical health. So are you ready to learn what those two roadblocks are and if they've been standing in your way? Are you ready to bust through these barriers to step into vibrant and robust health to live long enough and strong enough so you can do and be all God created you for? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

094// Does your prayer always seem to start with or major on "What should I do, Lord? We've all been there, caught in the midst of a "situation," having to make a decision in a moment of crisis or tension, and we "throw up a prayer." And most times that prayer in that moment is something akin to, "What do I dooooooooo?" Is there a better way to approach God and prayer that would yield better answers in a better time frame? Yes, my friend! A million times, YES.

Over the past few years I've spent time with folks who are making many different types of decisions in various situations and, time and time again, it became apparent that there are four very specific questions that can lead us seamlessly through a direct discussion with God to help us arrive at the issue of what to do next with a lot less stress and a whole lot more peace and confidence.

Are you ready to learn what the four questions every single Christian should really be asking God pretty much all the time so you can see that peace and confidence, too? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and Let's Go!

093// Some things you've been wanting from God, you can only get in His Rest. Sometimes the thing we need really relies on our position, and the rest of God is a prime position to be in. It's in His rest that we can receive without striving, we can overcome without having to think up the perfect battle plan for ourselves, and we can trust even when we don't have all the data in hand and processed. But we cannot have that quality of experience if we do not enter into and remain -- abide! -- in God's rest. Your position matters.

Do you know what the ultimate picture of God's rest is in the Bible? It's that Garden right in the beginning of the story! We start to see that God is leading us back to that Garden at every turn. The Garden is the Kingdom and the Kingdom is the Garden! And once we see the qualities of His rest that are found in His Garden/Kingdom, we can start to see them all throughout the stories of the Bible. And once we see them all throughout the stories of the Bible, guess what . . .

We can engage the Kingdom in ANY situation and learn to ABIDE in His rest!

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing the last message in a series I've been preaching at my home church of REVIVE Church of Tampa on real rest. Have a listen as I share how you can learn to remain in real rest by seeing the real rest that was offered in so many different situations throughout the Bible.

092// You can't "effort" your way into grace, but God can grace you for effective effort.Why are we "programmed" to think we have to work hard and do our very best in order to "deserve" God's rest? It's a question I think about a lot since the Bible tells us something very different about entering into God's rest. The writer of Hebrews makes it clear: We fail to enter God's rest when we fail to believe God at His Word and when we fail to obey what He says. So why don't we just trust and obey? #MillionDollarQuestion

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing the message I preached this past Sunday at my home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, entitled: How to Enter Into and Abide in the Rest of God. We revisited the four powerful questions we can ask the Lord to enter into His rest, and I also addressed a few matters around processing trauma and pain without picking up co-dependent coping mechanisms so you can stay abiding in rest, even when relationships and life are presenting tough challenges.

091// We've been sold a definition of rest by this world that just isn't accurate. The kind of rest the world pushes is insufficient. Have you realized this yet? The more you religiously engage with the self-care rituals, the more you aggressively disappear for “me time,” the more you pursue products that promise to curb your anxiety and bring you balance, the more you worship at the altar of “margin” . . . the more real rest you’ll actually need. The world’s rest is actually consumptive. It’s a demonic plan, straight from the pit of hell, designed to wear you out. See Daniel 7:25, friend. It’s a strategy!

Kingdom rest, however, is completely different. God wants to “bake rest in” to our everyday lives. He doesn’t want us to have to vacate our lives to find rest, recovery and recharge. He wants us to live in His rhythm of grace where we are constantly full, and being filled, because we abide in Him. Are you ready to make the switch from the worldly rest that robs into Kingdom rest that redeems? If so, I want you to dig into this week’s Positioned to Prosper podcast episode.

089// Positioning your attitude properly in Christ is essential, not only for you to enjoy good outcomes in life, but also because it sets an example before pre-believers.

I woke up this morning with the words "attitude adjustment" rattling around in my heart and mind. I went to spend some time with the Lord in His Word and in prayer, and I realized those words weren't just a random thought on the inside of me. This was something the Lord wanted me to share with His Church. So I sat right down and recorded this episode of the podcast for you!

Listen, your attitude -- the positioning of your heart before the Lord and the perspective you choose as you begin to walk out His commands each day -- matters. It matters greatly! Your attitude can actually impact the outcomes you experience in life. But, you want to know what's even more eye-opening? Your attitude can play a part in whether or not the unbelievers around you actually go seeking for the real and living God. What you display on your life as an ambassador for Jesus is like an advertisement for His Kingdom. What are you telling the world about God and His Kingdom through the attitude you carry?

088// Do you think manifestation is something a Christian should be "messing" with?

Recently I've heard a good number of female Christian voices on social media warning their followers about the practice of manifestation. The general message has been: "Stay away from manifestation. Only God can manifest things." I don't see support for that sort of advice in scripture. On the contrary, I see good basis to believe it's imperative we understand the way God moves in manifestation and how we are to partner with Him to bring His Kingdom to earth.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're going to get into the difference between godly manifestation and the sort of manifestation that is promoted in new age and witchcraft practices, and then I'll share with you how to make sure you're partnering with God to manifest His word as you walk powerfully in this earth. The thing is, friend, if we let the devil convince us that manifestation is somehow evil, he'll have tricked us into giving up one of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal to bring the Kingdom.

087// How much time and energy do you waste worrying about what other people are thinking about you? Whether it's something that someone says out loud, or something that you only think someone else is thinking about you, it's vital to know how to handle these sorts of thoughts as they are presented to you. You can't let them run on the hamster wheel of your mind unchecked, or you'll wind up overwhelmed, hypervigilant and burned out all the time. That's no way to live. So what's the alternative?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're going to be talking about why it's so vital to guard your heart with all diligence (which includes deciding rightly which thoughts you'll allow yourself to meditate on), and I'll be sharing three strategies you can implement starting today to reduce the amount of time you spend reacting to what other people think about you. We'll also get into the difference between reacting and responding and I'll show you how to respond in the situations where God calls you to do so — the way Jesus did.

So are you ready? This is a powerful episode with some very practical strategies. Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

086// Are you a Christian who feels like God's Word isn't working for you?

Listen, we're going to say the quiet parts out loud on this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast because it's vital to identify this surreptitious lie and pull it out at the roots. According to Isaiah 55:11, God's Word always works and it never returns void, so it's time to press into God to find out why we aren't having that "always producing" experience in our real lives.

I'm going to share the main reason why, I believe, we aren't experiencing God's Word working for us, and then I'll highlight three ways the culture in the current day Church has allowed this lie and resulting experience to run rampant. Finally, I'll share three things you must be convicted of if you're going to see your perspective and experience with God's Word shift, to ultimately see God's Word working abundantly in your life.

So are you ready? Let's dig in and get real! Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

085// "I'm doing every spiritual thing I know to do, but I'm still feeling overwhelmed, stuck and like it's just not working." Has this ever been your experience? You are going to every church service and event, listening to every message you can get your ears on, and joining every Bible study and discipleship group you can squeeze into your schedule, and yet . . . it's still not working. In fact, you feel more overwhelmed and stuck than you felt before you started all these "good habits." What's going on?

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm going to uncover a lesser known "pandemic" that's hit the Church called consumerism, where we think if we just consume more "good stuff" -- more messages, more meetings, more books, more lists of things to do right -- that we will finally become enlightened and step into peace and flow. The truth is, it's in our pouring out -- in giving, serving and applying the truth we've received -- that we will truly get "unstuck." Then we will see the provision of God begin to flow abundantly and our life finally come into order.

We'll cover the three ways this consumerism mindset tries to take us out, and then I'll give you two practical things you can do immediately (and consistently) to avoid this pitfall, so you can keep cruising in the flow God has for you, with peace and joy and breakthrough all along the way. Sound good? Then I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

082// Do you believe women can make a sound into the earth for Jesus and His Kingdom? How about into the Church?If you're a woman who's got a sound on your life to make for Jesus and His Kingdom, you've got to be confident in making that sound. With so much debate in the church today around whether women are "allowed" to teach or preach, finding your confidence can be a little tricky. So, what does the Bible have to say about women making a sound for God? And what happens when we don't know the truth but keep trying to make a sound anyway? Spoiler Alert: It isn't good!

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're taking a quick tour of some general passages of scripture that pertain to women sharing the gospel and making a sound for Jesus, and then we'll dig a bit deeper into Ezekiel 13 to examine what it looks like when you go "off message" as you make your sound. There's lots to cover here, so if you're ready to get into this somewhat provocative discussion, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

081// Is there such a thing as "right place" and "right time" when it comes to breakthrough? Do you think you have to position yourself when it comes to seeing the promises of God come to pass? Is it all up to you to find the exact right place and right time to access the provision of God? And if so, how do you figure those things out?

Do you realize how much we actually think about these questions, even if we're not talking about them out loud? It's human nature to wonder -- "Did I do something wrong? Is that why this breakthrough isn't happening? Should I have not done something? What do I need to do so I can get things moving?" We've all thought these things when we've felt stuck or delayed, right?

The (Biblical) truth is, being positioned for breakthrough is a joint venture between us and God. There are some things that only He can do, and then there are some things that we must do to find ourselves at the right place, at the right time, with the right heart, ready to receive. Are you ready to learn what these things are? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and let's jump into this episode!

080// How's your faith feel these days? Seriously, though, is it feeling tired? Tired faith feels like reacting instead of responding. It feels like it's defensive a lot of the time, and that it lacks what it needs to get to the finish line. Tired faith breeds disappointment and bitterness. Tired faith can leave you hopeless and feeling like there's just no point. But that's not the kind of faith God gives to us, so what can we do to fire up our faith and get it feeling fully alive again?

That's what this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast is all about! We'll talk a little bit about how faith gets tired, why you definitely don't want to keep going with tired faith, and what some telltale signs of tired faith are. Then I'll share five ideas for firing up your faith and making sure it never gets tired again. Are you ready to do this? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

079// Is is possible -- Biblically speaking -- to accelerate breakthrough? We've all been there. Going around the same mountain for the umpteeth time and wondering, "Will this ever end? Will I ever get out of this desert? When will I stop feeling so stuck?" And when you talk to your Christian friends, they point to a litany of scriptures to show you this timeline is "good" for you; that it's refining you and perfecting your character and all those sorts of things. But deep down you really just want to know -- "Is there any way to make this part go faster? Can't I just get to the breakthrough?"

So what do you think? Does the Bible give us any evidence that accelerating breakthrough is a real possibility for those of us who believe Jesus and follow him? And if so, how do we do it, like, pronto? That's what we're diving into on this week's episode of The Positioned to Prosper podcast. If you're ready to dig in, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

078 // What's your "position" on the whole pre-tribulation/post-tribulation rapture timeline? For many years, my husband and I were firmly set on the pre-tribulation rapture theory. We'd had a number of conversations about it, had looked at some scriptures concerning it, and had settled into a certain understanding. And then, last summer, as I drove over to Orlando for a bit of a break, an unsettling and persistent question came to me: Do you really believe the rapture happens pre-tribulation? I knew the question wasn't just something my bored, driving brain was coming up with. No, I felt it. It was coming from the Lord.

And so, as I normally do when the Lord asks me a question, I assumed the answer wasn't a simple yes or no. I took a page from the prophet, Ezekiel, and responded, "Only you know the truth, Lord. So what do I need to know? And what should I believe?" What He then showed me changed everything. I am now, firmly, on the post-tribulation rapture wagon, and I'm sharing all about the journey to getting there on this week's episode.

The Lord showed me two very major things as a result of revealing this post-tribulation rapture understanding to me, and the first one -- that believers can have a very different experience than non/pre-believers, even in the midst of corporate/cultural calamity and turmoil -- is what I'll be unpacking for much of this episode (the second "major thing" I'll get to in a future episode). As believers, we are blessed to know a different experience because of Jesus, and there's a reason for why we need to have this different experience right in the midst of tribulation -- in front of non/pre-believers. We're going to dig into that "why" during this episode.

So are you ready to jump in? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

077// How are you feeling about these times we're living in? Could you use some good news? In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a word I felt the Lord drop into my spirit a few weeks ago around a new season that He's walking His Church into right now. It's such a breath of fresh air, friend. I can't wait to share! But to get to the fullness of the word, I've got to share some things with you from a few encounters I've had with Him over the past two years. And these things involve some talk of the "last days," and end-times prophecy. Are you good to dig in with me on this topic?

And while we're talking end-times, can I ask you . . . Are you a pre-tribulation or post-tribulation believer when it comes to the timing of the rapture? Have you ever thought about this for yourself? In this episode we're going to begin to touch on this debate, and I'm planning to unpack this discussion a little more with you over the coming weeks here on the podcast. But for this week, I'm laying a bit of a scriptural foundation for our future discussion, and then releasing this word of absolute hope that the Lord gave to me to share with you. It's going to be so good!

076// Why do we resist the plan of God for our lives? Many times we'll say we haven't heard clearly or we just don't know what it is. But what if we do know, and we're really just saying, “But not like that”? In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a message that I recently shared at a REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out called, Vantage Point. Not all perspectives are the same. A vantage point is a higher, more comprehensive perspective, and it's the sort of sight line that God has for our lives. What if we could get to where He is and see it from His perspective?

The good news is, We Can! But it's a choice, and you'll have to push past some subpar perspectives to get there. So, why is it that we don't consistently choose to do this, choosing instead to stay married to lesser perspectives and strategies with lesser outcomes? That's what we're talking about in this week's episode. If you're ready to dig into what's been keeping you stuck in subpar outcomes while saying to the Lord, “Yes, I need help, but not like that,” then I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

075// "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

When you are in need of something, is your first thought, "I need to pour out right now"? Why not? If Jesus' words as recorded in Luke 6:38 are true, then giving will put you in a position for receiving. Why, then, when a deep need is felt, do most people go directly to figuring and effort, striving and maybe even a little scheming? Why don't we take Jesus at His word?

There is power in pouring out, even when you think your cup is empty. If you're in Christ, you are always attached to a reservoir that never runs dry; a well that will always be ready to be drawn from and poured out. So, how do we override that knee-jerk reaction we have to conserve (and even to consume what may not be ours) when we sense a need or lack? How do we make the faith-filled choice to pour out in order to receive?

That's what we're getting into on this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. So I want you to grab yourself a cozy cup of something soothing, and let's have a chat about how pouring out in the midst of need isn't just the most righteous choice you can make, it's also the most powerful. Don't forget your Bible, your journal and a pen, friend. Let's Go!

074// Hypervigilance and Hyper-Responsibility aren't gifts to be celebrated. They're curses to be broken.

“I've always had to take care of myself.” “If I want it done right, I have to do it myself.” “I learned from a very young age how to be self-sufficient. I don't need anyone.” “There's no one coming to help me, so I better figure this out on my own.” These are the sounds of a life tied to hypervigilance.

God designed us to be fully reliant on Him. But if we've had a life where it hasn't been easy (or maybe even possible) to rely on others for our provision, our protection or our nurturing, we may have picked up the coping mechanisms of hypervigilance and hyper-responsibility along the way. Over time, these strategies will betray us, and we'll wind up missing out on a lot of the good God has for us. It's time to find out what better things God has for us instead.

In this episode we'll be looking at how hypervigilance and hyper-responsibility take hold, why they really are detrimental to us in the long run, and the three things we can do to break the curse of hypervigilance to trust God and step into real freedom. Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

073//  We talk about the dos and don'ts of discipleship all the time, but what about the heart* of discipleship?* In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, Erica is sharing a message she preached recently at her home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, about the heart we should have when we disciple people.

Many try to approach discipleship like corporate business training with a litany of 101, 201 and 301 classes designed to "qualify" a person for service in the house of God. But real discipleship requires real relationship. The best discipleship happens in a family context and looks like apprenticeship. Is this the sort of discipleship you are experiencing?

We'll be looking at six different qualities of the heart of God that we definitely must embrace as we seek to train up disciples to follow Christ and obey his commands. Are you ready to jump in? Then grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

072// The process of deconstructing faith is not new, but it's seducing a new generation with its siren song. Over the past two years I've seen and heard a considerable uptick in conversations about deconstructing faith. Deconstruction of faith is the process of questioning, doubting and ultimately rejecting certain aspects of one's faith. In embracing the process of deconstruction, one is wooed into believing that the meanings of the ideas, beliefs and principles of the faith are subjective. That somehow the foundational tenets of faith are “up for debate.”

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're covering why the practice of deconstructing faith is so dangerous, what Biblical process deconstruction is actually counterfeiting, and why one might embrace the process of deconstruction without knowing the dangers. I'll also be giving five steps to follow to avoid falling into this deconstruction trap that will help you to preserve your faith the way God tells you to in His Word. Are you ready for this, my friend? Then grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

071// There have been times when I've said I was content, but -- really -- I was apathetic. Have you ever been there? Someone asks you about a situation or a relationship, and you realize you aren't triggered or overly emotional about it anymore. Maybe you think to yourself, "Wow. I feel nothing about this. This is good." Perhaps, like I did, you conclude: "This is contentment." But deep down inside something isn't sitting right. And the more you think about it, those feelings start to back up bubble again, so you push them back down and keep on moving.

That's not contentment, friend. That's apathy -- a cerebral position of indifference born out of a desire to disconnect from the source of pain and/or discomfort. Apathy is a tricky coping mechanism; one that will keep you disconnected from real relationships and even from healing. Apathy will keep robbing from you as it keeps you unaware there is a better way to find joy in the midst of the most difficult of situations.

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're digging into the difference between real contentment and its counterfeit -- apathy -- and discussing what it takes to turn down apathy in favor of learning how to be truly content in any circumstance. Are you ready? Then grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

070// Discipleship is NOT Mentorship. The primary function of discipleship is not to be trained up in your specific calling or gifting. Discipleship, in its simplest sense, is training in how to follow Jesus with clean hands and a pure heart, no matter your gifting or calling. Discipleship is about developing heart and character.

Think of a parent and a child. Even though the parent may not have the same giftings and talents as the child, the parent is still responsible to teach that child how to live life before God, properly and effectively. Consider if that child decided to think that the parent was trying to rob them of something, or if they thought the parent wasn’t sufficient enough in certain skill sets to train them up. What a mess, right?

We have an opportunity to pioneer real discipleship within the Church in this season. This kind of discipleship is not something new. It’s a return to what discipleship was always intended to be, according to Jesus' commissioning when he said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20) . Jesus commanded us to teach people to follow Him, without reference to their level of gifting, calling or skill sets. Following Jesus well comes first. Training in how to steward one's gifts, talents and skill sets comes second.

You need solid discipleship before you need a mentor. You don’t want to confuse getting fat on mentorship with being discipled well. So if you're ready to press into this discussion around why you want discipleship first -- and what you really need next instead of mentorship -- grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

069// What do you think about the holistic approach to health? How about when you compare it to the modern, "western" approach to health care we've become standardized to these days? And let me ask you this . . .

If you're a Christian -- a follower of Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit -- which do you believe is more aligned with Scripture and the will of God as an approach to healing and stewarding health well?

Uh-oh! Did I press a button? For many, I know that I'm most certainly pressing a button. I've spent the last seven years as a certified, holistic health coach and teacher of God's word really digging into this conflict between the two approaches as I've observed the conversation (or the lack of conversation) inside the Church. I've also spent lots of time digging into the Bible to see what God's word has to say about how to approach the practical aspects of healing and stewarding health. So where did I come out on this question myself?

That's exactly what we're getting into on this episode of The Positioned to Prosper podcast. If you're willing to wade into these waters with me, let's start lining up these options with what the Bible says as we endeavor to see if we can find the Holy in the midst of the holistic health approach. So, go grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

068// Do you see yourself as a Reformer? Do you have in your heart the desire to revive, to rebuild and/or to restore culture -- both inside the Church and without -- to the Standard that God gave to us from the beginning? Do you want to be a part of bringing the Kingdom to earth in a real way? If so, you've got the heart of a Reformer.

Over the past few decades it's been all about revival in the Church. Now, don't get me wrong, revival is very important to the Church, and to reformation. Without revival -- the stoking and the keeping of the fire of God on the altar of our hearts as we share this with others along the way -- reformation, or a return to the holy and righteous Standard of God for his people, wouldn't be possible. You need the firm Foundation of Jesus and the Holy Spirit fire on the altar of your heart in order to pioneer with the plan of reformation for the Church in this generation. But now is the time of the Reformer.

In this episode I'll be sharing with you the stages of revival that lead to reformation and I'll show you the pattern as displayed in the books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai and Zechariah. I'll also outline the three things you must do as a Reformer if you're going to carry out this mission of bringing powerful reformation to the Church (and beyond) in this season. Are you ready? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

067// Press play anyways, Pumpkin! This one's gonna be good. I'm sure you've heard: "Jesus is enough. He's all you need. There's no 'Jesus AND.' It's just Jesus." Am I right? You've heard this, yeah? Well what if I told you that Jesus isn't enough when it comes to discipling you?

I know. It's a little hard to hear after you've been told Jesus is enough for so long, but I want you to know that both statements are true: Jesus IS enough. But Jesus alone is not enough to disciple you.

Here's why . . .

When we say "Jesus is enough for me and my need," what we may be saying (sometimes) is -- "I just need Jesus' head. I don't want His Body." -- i.e. the Church, the other kids of God, our brothers and sisters in Christ. And the thing is, you CANNOT say this about discipleship. You NEED Jesus' Body to be properly discipled.

In this episode I'm sharing five Biblical points of proof to support why you need more than Just Jesus to be discipled. I'm also talking about why we may resist the process of discipleship in relationship with people, and what we need to do to overcome this reactive response when invited into real, relationship-driven discipleship. So, if you're ready to be sharpened (and maybe a little challenged) around the idea of real discipleship, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

066// There's a real cost to breakthrough, but what if I told you it's already been paid and you just need to show the receipt? It's totally true! Jesus paid the price for every ounce of breakthrough you could ever need or want in your lifetime, but so many times when we're right up against it, we forget we've got the receipt. Or worse, we push the receipt further down in our pocket and try to foot the bill ourselves. Why do we do that?

In this episode I'm sharing a message I recently preached at our REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out. There are three reasons we generally fail to "show the receipt," and I'm telling you exactly what they are as I highlight them in the story of Jairus and Jesus (Luke 8:40-56).

064// It was the worst moment of my life, but it's become one of the greatest blessings of my life, too. In August 2009, after the birth of my second son, I was side-swiped with severe postpartum anxiety. I couldn't function . . . at all. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, and I couldn't take care of my newborn. For weeks in the beginning all I did was pace and pace for hours, constantly vibrating with anxiety and an unending nauseated feeling in the pit of my stomach. It was horrendous.

The worst part was that traditional treatments for my condition didn't work for me. Not only did they not work, they made me feel worse. Four medications in five different combinations over a period of six months under the care of a midwife, an OB/GYN, a psychiatrist and a therapist and we just couldn't find the rhythm. I was so desperate. It was from that place that I called out to God for help and he answered me, leading me on a journey of finding a natural, holistic approach to my healing that ultimately worked. It took nearly two years to find a general health balance, but I learned a ton along the way.

One of the things I learned during my healing journey was that my postpartum experience wasn't just the result of a hormone imbalance. There were other roots beneath the panic episodes I was plagued with. It took relapsing five years later to get to the core of all I'd been walking with for decades: digestive and hormonal imbalances that ultimately presented themselves as severe and debilitating anxiety and panic. But those years of my healing journey also taught me so much about true healing and becoming whole -- spirit, soul and body.

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm telling the story of how I got so sick, and how I ultimately found my way back to healed and whole, by the grace of God. He taught me so many things along the journey and, after becoming a certified holistic health coach, I ultimately put together a plan from all I learned so I could help others to find their way back to healing and wholeness, too. If you have had a similar backstory, and you're still working to find your way back to healed and whole, then this episode is for you. I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and Let's Go!

063// Are you the pioneering type? Do you regularly have thoughts like: "Someone's gotta fix this/ build this/ solve this problem/ discover a new way"? And then, do you get right to work doing the thing? If so, you, my friend, are the pioneering type.

Pioneering types are "high-responsibility" folks, front-footed in everything they do, aggressive problem solvers with a bent towards taking territory, establishing it and presenting it to others to occupy and operate in. Pioneers are reformers, many times. Pioneers are people designed to change the status quo.

In all of these scenarios, there is one common risk -- a truly big risk -- that all pioneers face that can put their destiny into question. What's that truly big risk? Burn Out.

Burn out could look like taking an extended break at the wrong time, but it could also look like flagging health or a massive health breakdown. It could look like emotional collapse or spiritual confusion. Burn out could look like allowing distraction to come in. Burn out can look like escaping the life we were designed to live. And this massive risk of burn out is a major problem for a pioneer type because, in many cases, it can cause us to cease pioneering.

But here's the thing: The irony is that if a pioneer type pioneers as hard as they can -- all the time -- without stopping at any point to consider their consistency in strength and energy and resiliency, they'll burn out before they can truly pioneer the thing they were called to pioneer. That was my story, and I've got to tell you, it's one of the most frustrating things to happen to a pioneer type -- all the drive, all the desire, all the vision, and then you break down before you can actually get to the finish line.

Over the years I have seen so many folks with a massive pioneering call on their lives burning out -- or being taken out -- all because no one discipled them in how to walk out their call to pioneer with resilience and the ability to sustain, so they can go the distance. So, on today's episode of Positioned to Prosper, I'm sharing three things I've learned along the way as a pioneer that have helped me to avoid burn out and breakdown, and to embrace resilience and sustainability so I can keep pioneering for the long haul.

Are you ready to run the race with resilience for the long run, Pioneer? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

062// You know it's time to get focused on your health, right?This isn't about fear mongering, and it's not about overwhelming you with one more thing to worry about. No, my friend, this is about urgently helping you to get your eye on one of the most important "balls" of your life -- your foundational health. Why? Because God wants you around long enough and strong enough to do and be all He created you for. Don't you want that, too?

NOW is the time to not only decide you'll focus on your health, but also to lock in a plan and a vision for how you're going to steward your health to a place that is vibrant and robust. In the world we live in, it's simply not an option to say, "I'll deal with it later. I'll do it when I have more time." Stewarding your health well is the only variable you have control of in this life that could potentially lengthen your days. Think about that!

So if you're ready to address this massive issue of prioritizing your health and figuring out what your next best step is in stewarding your health well so you can live long enough and strong enough to be and do all you were created for, then I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

061// Multi-level marketing gets such a bad rap, even on it's own. But when someone in ministry steps into this business model, the negativity can go next level* very quickly.* So, is there any way to do both in the same season while avoiding all the negative noise? Is it possible to move powerfully in ministry and while also growing a thriving and impactful MLM business?

My husband and I planted a church in Tampa ten years ago, and we co-pastor that church to this day. About six years ago, I stepped into a network marketing opportunity as part of the holistic health coaching business I was building. Almost immediately, the doubt crept in for me. Would I be able to honor the calling I had to pastor the people, while not misusing my authority or influence as I offered products and services to the public? What would people think if they saw me selling things out on the internet during the week, and then in the pulpit preaching on a Sunday? Truth be told, most of the things I feared the most during this season were things I made up in my own head!

Are you a Christian who's wanting to step into a network marketing opportunity (or you're already in an MLM business), but doubt and concerns about what people think about your choice are holding you back? Do you feel the overwhelming need to explain why you've chosen this business model? Do you worry that you're going to come across as "salesy" (at best) or that you're "taking advantage" of your relationships (at worst)? Are you having a hard time believing you can be truly successful in sales as your dreams of a thriving business are relegated to "just a hobby" status?

If you've felt any of these things, but what you really want is to step into your ministry AND your networking marketing business in the same season with boldness and confidence, THIS is the episode for you! I'll be sharing four things the Lord had to remind me of at the beginning of my ministry and MLM season that brought me back to my full purpose and got me moving in a powerful way. I'll also show you three key things you must do if you want to move in both ministry and your sales business in the same season in a way that glorifies God and honors people. So, if you're ready to get into a truly edifying discussion about how you can minister and do MLM in the same season -- I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

059// Is that time you're taking to be still really* waiting on the Lord?* Or are you taking an "unauthorized" break, quitting or exiting out the escape hatch of your life and purpose? I want you to take a look at that place where you're naturally trying to avoid the pain and pressure and ask yourself some questions so you can determine if you're working with the Lord or against yourself and you endeavor to walk out your destiny.

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're going to be digging deep into what it looks like to say we're "waiting on the Lord," when what we're really doing is quietly planning our escape (and then executing it). Why do we do this? How can we know for sure when we're doing it? And what can we do to ensure we stay waiting on God instead of quitting or hitting the eject button while we are still in process with Him? We'll cover the answers to these questions as well as Biblical examples so you can have some practical indicators to look for.

Now, if you're ready to get real about what that break you took really means, and what to do if you realize it really wasn't waiting on the Lord, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

058// How do we love well if we don't have real Love living inside of us first?

I know, y'all. It's a loaded question, and a potentially polarizing one at that. But the Bible tells us that human beings have the ability to love one another only because God loved us first (1 John 4:19). He loved us so much, in fact, that he sent his Son to redeem us back to his heart, and then he put his Spirit on the inside of us. And it's God's Spirit that sheds his love abroad in our hearts (Romans 5:5). So, seriously . . . how can we even endeavor to love another human being well if we don't have the essence of that kind of real love deep down on the inside of us?

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a message with you that I preached at my home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, a short time ago as we closed out a series on the truth about the spiritual realm and stepped into a series on the truth about love. These two things are connected and this message is the bridge. I truly believe you've got to be Spirit-filled in order to love people well, and I'm using Acts 19:1-20 to show this pivotal principle in God's word.

So if you're ready to explore why it's truly essential to have the Holy Spirit living inside of you as you endeavor to love people well, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

057//  How are you at studying your Bible, just you and the Holy Spirit? As a Spirit-filled believer, did you know that you don't need someone else to teach you the Word or God, or even what it "really" means? This isn't a license to become prideful, but an invitation to be empowered. You have everything you need on the inside of you to comprehend scripture and to walk out your life as a testimony of the Gospel. Want to understand that a little better?

In this week's episode I'm sharing 6 tips for how to study God's word as a Spirit-filled believer. Before you skip to the notes at the bottom of the page of your study Bible, before you pick up the commentary, and even before you go grab that topical, Christian lifestyle book, maybe it's time to sit with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to guide you into all truth. Let's talk about how to read God's Word with the expectation that He can reveal meaning and interpretation to us, even if we don't have a seminary degree or any hours clocked at Bible college.

To round out the episode, Erica has prepared a downloadable Bible Study Worksheet for you. Now it's time to grab your Bible, a journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

056// Let's continue our discussion around prepping without fear . . .

What do you think of when you hear about people who are storing shelf-stable food and water for the long term, buying up generators and deep freezers, joining the ranks of the RV army with a "bug-out" plan in hand (and maybe even a piece of land somewhere in the middle of nowhere)? How are you feeling as crypto-currency is going mainstream, while folks stand on hour-long lines to buy overpriced ammunition (if it's even in stock), and the rest of the people are at the seed store planting their very first garden so they can be self-sustaining "should anything happen"?

Are you more inclined to call this whole trend a result of "conspiracy theory" run rampant, or would you say, "It's just plain and simple wisdom"? Either way you lean, it won't change the fact that we are clearly obsessed with talking about this topic, especially out on social media. So what does the Bible have to say about prepping and what should the Believer's approach to this whole thing be?

This episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast is the final session in a two part series around how we should be prepping as Believers. In this week's episode I want to share with you some basic tips for beginning to prep without fear. I've even put together a basic prepping checklist for you (to make the note taking just a little bit easier!).

It's vital to remember that, no matter what, God has you as you continue to trust in Him and obey Him. The Bible is filled with stories of God's people being cared for and provided for miraculously, at just the right time. So while we pray for wisdom around how to prepare ourselves for future events, we stand on the promise that our God sustains us and keeps us safe, no matter what happens.

Now, if you're ready to wrap up this two-part discussion with me on how the Christian can prepare for what's coming, without partnering with the fear being offered, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

055// Are you engaging in any level of "prepping" during this season of seemingly shaky economies and rumored shortages? What do you think of when you hear about people who are storing shelf-stable food and water for the long term, buying up generators and deep freezers, joining the ranks of the RV army with a "bug-out" plan in hand (and maybe even a piece of land somewhere in the middle of nowhere)? How are you feeling as crypto-currency is going mainstream, while folks stand on hour-long lines to buy overpriced ammunition (if it's even in stock), and the rest of the people are at the seed store planting their very first garden so they can be self-sustaining "should anything happen"?

So what does the Bible have to say about prepping and what should the Believer's approach to this whole thing be?

This episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast is the first in a two part series around how we should be prepping as Believers. In this week's episode I want to take on the attitude we choose to move in as we approach this topic and/or effort. Fear is one of the most insidious weapons that the devil wields against a Believer, and he's using it overtime when it comes to how we approach being prepared as we walk through these end times.

With these last few years feeling like the devil's plan for the world's demise has somehow been accelerated, Spirit-filled Believers cannot be burying their heads in the ground and pretending like we have some "get out of tribulation free card" when we really don't. News Flash (supported by scripture): The Church is going to be playing a major role in these end times, even through times of tribulation, and so it's time for those who follow Jesus, in Spirit and in Truth, to come fully awake, and to hear the Lord on how and when to prepare for these times that are undoubtedly ahead of us.

So, if you're ready to start this two-part discussion with me on how the Christian can prepare for what's coming, without partnering with the fear being offered, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

054// The Lord spoke a word to me this morning for Creatives. I'm sharing it, word for word, with you inside this episode of the podcast. On the morning of October 8th I had a dream that was distinctly from the Lord. I woke up from the dream and grabbed my phone to record the interpretation of the word as God spoke to me. What I wrote down is what I'm sharing with you here on the podcast today -- word for word what I heard, without any interrupting commentary.

This word is to Creatives -- "New Renaissance Creatives." God is moving through Creativity in this season and we will see a harvest of souls coming into the Kingdom and being reconciled to the heart of the Father as a result of moving in Creativity, but also in experiencing the manifestations of the Creativity that God is sending into the earth through Creatives right now.

Are you a Creative? I pray that as you encounter this word from the Lord you will be edified and inspired. Now is your time! Are you ready to step out boldly and create according to the heart of God as he reveals it to you?

053// Can society deplatform God Himself? In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we'll be talking about the current social culture we're living in, and how it's affecting the Church's mission to get the word out about Jesus and His Kingdom in a way that reconciles the hearts of men and women to the heart of God, and trains up believers to be true followers and disciples of the Lord Jesus.

As we watch voices being deplatformed all across social media and other online mediums, and as virtue signaling and cancel culture rule the day, how can we ensure that the Gospel is still given a platform amongst the people? And how do we authentically and powerfully bring the Kingdom to a world that seems, less and less, to want to hear about the absolute truth, freedom and life that is found in Christ?

Church, we have a responsibility to be the platform the God -- not social media, not the news or television programming, not even books or podcasts or movies. The people of God are meant to keep God on the "platform" of our hearts at all times and to share the sound of the Kingdom wherever he sends us. But in order to be successful at being a beacon for Him, there are three very specific things I think we should be doing regularly. We'll get into those three things in this episode, so if you're ready to lean in, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

052// So will you? And are you clear on what it means to truly seek His Kingdom and Righteousness?It's vital that we learn how to stand on the Word of God and keep standing -- no matter what -- if we're going to have a different experience that the world as we walk through these weighty times. It's in having this different experience by faith that creates the beacon sound coming off our lives that helps others to see what is on offer as we choose to follow Jesus and trust him with our lives. So, are you ready to be a real minister of reconciliation?

To be salt and light in this season is going to require a Church that is passionate about taking God at his word and relentlessly holding on, even through the "eleventh hour." If we fail to do so, we wills succumb to a destructive abortion spirit that seeks to devour God's seed before it can fully come to fruition. In this episode we'll be talking about how to receive the word and promises of God into good soil, and how to stay standing on what He's said in faith, no matter what, to see God's provision and protection manifest around us even in the toughest of times.

051// What should we be doing as the Church right now? It's a weird question, right? If you're a part of the Church then maybe you're thinking, "Hey, Erica, we're just supposed to keep on being the Church while Jesus builds." And that would be true, but then let me ask you this: What are we supposed to be doing while we're "being the Church?"

In these last eighteen months we've been thrown a few curve balls in the form of a pandemic, social justice issues, political conflicts and more, but this chaotic environment has clearly exposed something about the Church -- at some point previous, we went to sleep! We haven't been awake and walking fully in Truth, wearing our armor or operating in our full power and authority in Christ. Most of us had just been trying to live a "good enough" life, trying to have some sort of an impact for Christ along the journey, but then this "wake up call" of a season happened and we realized we weren't quite sure where we took a wrong turn.

In this podcast episode I'm going to be sharing my theory for how we got lost and fell asleep: We went off the Map (the Word of God) and forgot what we were supposed to be doing as the Church in these end times as the pressure increases and things get increasingly dark and evil. We haven't been focused on the fact that Jesus is coming back (soon), but he's not rescuing us out of here before the really heavy stuff starts to come upon the earth (no, friend, I personally do not see the scriptural support for a pre-tribulation rapture), and we must be about our Father's business as we were commissioned to do in Matthew 28 when Jesus said, "Make disciples."

So how do we stay "on mission" as the world becomes increasingly scared and chaotic, as evil rises in the earth and it seems as though final breakdown is imminent? That's what we're talking about in this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. So if you're ready to get real about our role as the Church in these end times and what we should be doing as this age continues to unfold, then I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go! [show notes at ericapyle.com/51]

050// Are you practicing sanctification regularly in your life?Have you ever wondered why you and thinking and agreeing with all the right things when it comes to the Bible and being a Christian, but you’re still not experiencing powerful transformation and activation in your life? It’s likely because you aren’t practicing sanctification on a regular basis. Without this spiritual practice operating in your life, you may continue spinning your wheels. But if you'll embrace and practice sanctification, things can change exponentially.

The current day Church in the West isn't talking about sanctification enough. We're not teaching on it, we're not discipling people in it and we're not doing it consistently. This is made apparent when we consider the "counseling culture" we've created and the lack of power we're moving in and the measured impact we're having. We resist sanctification, many times calling it "legalism" when, in fact, it's simple obedience to the word of God we're avoiding. It's time for the Church to press in to be prepared and made fit for service to Jesus. If you're ready, then I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

047// How are you handling your kids' education in this season? In the last few months some incredible statistics have come out around the country indicating that many families are choosing to take a pass on public school education for their kids and, instead, homeschool them or pursue some sort of a hybrid method. And it's no surprise given the unsteady nature of the traditional bricks and mortar classroom over the last year and a half -- kids having to wear masks, social distancing, not being able to connect with friends as closely as they once could, maybe not being able to learn as effectively with everyone's mouths covered. And then there's just the psychological impact of it all. Those numbers are even more shocking.

But an interesting thing has happened as the eyes of parents have swung onto their kids' classrooms in a very focused way: many are realizing the curriculum being taught isn't in line with their Biblical worldview (in some cases, it's in total conflict). Many are shocked to find what's actually being taught -- even to their small kids -- in this setting. And this fact, more than anything, has been bringing homeschool onto the table for many families this past year. Have you had any of these concerns yourself?

I sat down with my husband, Doug, recently to record a session for our home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, where we talked about what it can look like to actively steward your children's education in this season. Now, the spoiler alert is that we homeschool our kids and we're big fans, so we talk at length about this option, BUT we also discuss what you can do to actively steward your kids' schooling if you can't homeschool. We've got you covered!

So if you're ready to dig into this topic and be a little challenged in the area of "active parenting," then I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

046// How did you prepare to parent? If you don't yet have kids, how are you preparing even now?If you've got kids I want you to think back to when you were getting ready to have them. How did you prepare? Did you read books about newborns and raising kids? Did you do a load of research and ask for tons of recommendations on must-have baby gear? Did you take a birthing class or a newborn class. Did you discuss parenting styles, hopes and dreams or prayers for their life with your spouse?

Listen, this is all preparation for being a parent. I know I did all of these things as I was getting ready to have my boys. But there's something else we should be doing to prepare for parenting and we're not really talking about it. Do you know what it is? It's this:

How to deal with unresolved hurt, trauma and pain from your childhood so you can enter the parenting phase of your life -- free and aligned with Jesus -- ready to raise and launch this next generation in a healthy and powerful way.

That's what we're talking about on this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast.

045// Emotions make crappy leaders. Probably one of the most common discussions inside the Christian community has to do with this question: Are emotions good, or are they bad? So, what do you think?

God created us with the ability to feel emotions. This means the ability to emote is good because everything God creates is good. Are you with me so far? But did you know that there really are emotions that are considered "good" and some that are considered "bad?" It's true, and we're going to get into what the Bible has to say about good and bad emotions in this episode.

But probably the strongest sound I want to make in today's episode is this: Emotions are terrible leaders. Seriously. Emotions were never intended to be your guide. They were designed to follow your thoughts and your faith, but you've got to intentionally tell them to do that. This means stewarding your emotions.

To be a good steward of your life you're going to have to make a decision to come off of the auto-pilot that keeps you tethered to how you feel all the time, friend. You're going to have to stop letting the loudest emotion "in the room" call the shots. And you're going to have to take back the controls of your life so you can fly intentionally. So, how exactly do you do that? I'm glad you asked! We're talking about all that in this week's episode, so grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

044// You were made for victory!Even when you don't feel it. Even when the situation looks not so good. Even when everyone and everything around you is telling you that you're going to lose, you must remember: You were made to win! You can do this.

This is Biblical truth, not just a hype track. God saw this season before you got here. He's not surprised. He's allowing certain struggles to come into your life right now for one reason and one reason only. And I'm talking about that reason inside this episode.

So if you are in need of some serious encouragement so that you can keep going right now, join me! Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

043// Have you ever been goaded into fighting dirty? About a year ago I almost posted something to my social media feeds that would have been in direct opposition to the Biblical verse I consider to be my "life verse." I mean, how does someone who endeavors to make a sound for Jesus and His Kingdom daily find themselves with spiritual ears that have been dulled to the point where they would casually consider doing something like that? Yet, there I was, considering it and asking close friends what they thought. I was looking for permission from people because God clearly wasn't giving me the green light in my spirit. Thankfully, I held back. I never made the post.

Fast forward to just a couple months ago and I thought it might be the right time to post those thoughts from a year ago, so I asked God about it and again, I felt no permission. Then he asked me a question that ultimately woke me up to the potential train wreck I was about to cause if I posted what I'd been considering as a "witty retort." It was right then that I realized just how strong the temptation is for Christians to pick up the weapons the enemy has left strewn all about this battlefield we're on to fight back just like him. And it's a trick. He's trying to take us out.

So if this is a struggle you've been all too familiar with this past year -- the struggle to know how to respond in the midst of unrelenting cancel culture and virtue signaling and flat-out demonic schemes -- and you'd like to know how to respond in a way that's both powerful and God-honoring, then grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and let's get into this episode!

042// Virtually everything you've been told by the government and "science" about the virus, masks and immunizations -- in terms of how to stay safe and how to steward your health -- has been unbiblical.

Yeah, that's where this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast is going. I'm sharing the message I preached this past weekend at REVIVE Church of Tampa and, to be honest, it's a little polarizing, so proceed with caution, friend.

I'm sharing what the Bible really says about how God keeps us safe and healthy, what his word tells us about when and how to quarantine, who should be wearing the "masks" and how to ensure we can come through this global challenge in faith with our health intact.

So if you're up for a provocative look at how culture, government and "science" have failed us in this season, and what the Bible really says about how we can prosper even in a season like we've seen over the past 15 months, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

041// Have you ever suffered because of someone else's bad choices? All of us, at one time or another, have found ourselves suffering because of someone else's poor choices. And while suffering is relative to the person experiencing it, I think it's fair to say that suffering tends to be worse when it's brought on by a choice made by a person you're seemingly inextricably linked to. A marriage is a good example.

It's that sense of feeling “stuck” and knowing — “If this person doesn't course correct quickly, they're going to crash and I'm crashing with them.” It's scary and it's painful. You feel out of control and maybe even angry or bitter.

And all of a sudden we can find ourselves doing that crazy dance between trying to escape and distance ourselves and trying to get the other person to “straighten up and fly right.” We think the only two options we have are to disconnect or to make them be perfect somehow. All because we don't feel safe.

The question isHow do you trust God to keep you safe when people you are connected to and relying on keep making mistakes and bad decisions? How can can you maintain connection with imperfect people while also learning to find a deep sense of safety in God no matter what may come?

This is what we're getting into on this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. So if you're ready to lean in so you can get to breakthrough in the area of building connection and intimacy, even in the midst of potential let down or pain, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

040// Every weakness, dis-ease and sickness in the body has, at its foundation, a spiritual root. Did you know that? But we aren't talking about this in the Church today because we don't want to "make" people feel guilty or to think that we're "blaming" them for being unwell.

The truth is that dis-ease in the body comes from misalignment in our triune being -- spirit, soul and body. This may seem like an oversimplification to you since dis-eases can be overwhelming and severe with disastrous results, but it's really not. The concept itself is simple; it's the walking out of the process of realignment and staying on truth in faith that's tough.

And what's even harder is tearing down the strongholds of familiar, generational lies that drive some of the deepest spiritual roots found underneath sickness and dis-ease in the body. But, here's the thing:

When the Blood of Jesus is involved, these seemingly difficult or even impossible things become possible and doable in the power of the Spirit. And there are things we can do to get realigned and to overcome the "inevitable" fruit that is born into the body out of these tainted spiritual roots. As we step into this process and see realignment come, we will also start to see a more robust health -- and even supernatural healing -- flowing through the body fairly quickly.

So if this is something you just know you've got to get breakthrough in, I want you to lean in to this episode. Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

039// Who's got the healthiest body on the face of the planet? On this week's episode of Positioned to Prosper I'm bringing you a live recording of a message I shared at my home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa (revivetampa.org) to kick off a monthly series we're doing called, The Truth About Health & Healing. The message is called, The Healthiest Body on the Face of the Planet. Now, do you know what that body is? It's the Body of Christ -- The Church! But here's the question:

With the access we have to the alive and active Word of God, being covered by the blood of Jesus and healed by the stripes he bore for us, and with the Holy Spirit as our Comforter and Leader into all Truth, How is the Church NOT the healthiest body in the world today?

People should be streaming into the House of God -- "Isaiah 2 Style" -- to learn how to steward health well so they can live long, vibrant, abundant, fruitful lives, but they really aren't. So, what truth have we been missing in the Church that has allowed us to live subpar to the best Jesus won for us?

These are the things we're talking about in this episode of PtoP, so if you're ready to up-level your own health while being an integral part of seeing the Church manifest as the healthiest body on the face of the planet, then I want you to grab your Bible, a journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

038// Do you think God's healing is a function of miracle or process?Which one do you think it is? As I've discussed the topic with loads of people over the years, I've found that many believe it's either one or the other. And what's even more interesting is that they mainly think one of these options is "more Christian" than the other. Can you guess which one it is?

But what if I told you that the healing God brings is both miraculous and a process? That, in fact, you cannot have true - in this world - healing with only miracle or just process. Would you believe me if I told you that healing will always be a function of both miracle and process? Well that, my friend, is Biblical truth!

That's what we're discussing on this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. If you're ready to lean into what God's healing really looks like on a real life, and how to step into it fully so you can experience it for yourself and bring it to others, come join me for this chat.

037// Sugar should come with a warning label.

Sugar can be considered to be dangerous "food-like" substance. It's true. Sugar highlights our celebratory meals and holiday tables, but it also permeates our daily diets, and it's the prevalence of the highly processed and concentrated form consumed on this day-to-day basis that is of high concern if our goal is to live long enough and strong enough to be and do all God created us for.

Could you use a break from the sweet stuff? And if so, how would you initiate the break-up? What plan would you follow? And who would your "support team" be as you navigated the emotions and challenges that inevitably come as you detox from sugar?

On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we'll be talking about why we really need to break up with sugar as we explore the four ways that sugar torpedoes health. Then I'll share a proven plan for breaking up with the sweet stuff while resetting your relationship with sugar so you can be "just friends" later on. It's called The Beacon Sugar Detox and we're getting ready to start a round of the program really soon. So if you're feeling like it might be time for you to break up with sugar, I want you to lean in. Grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

036//  So, does God care about what you eat?What do you think? Have you ever wondered what God thinks about your diet? Would his answer matter to you? And why does it matter what he thinks?

These are the questions we're exploring on this episode of Positioned to Prosper podcast. We'll start with what the Bible has to say about the human diet, and we'll explore the wisdom it has to offer around the hows and whens and which kinds of consuming food. We'll consider this --

If we knew the way God intended for us to eat -- to fuel and inform our bodies -- then we'd be able to unlock the wisdom we need to support and steward our health in an excellent way.

So how do we avoid the pitfalls of the literal hundreds of competing dietary theories that are out there, followed by all the competing opinions that go along with them? How do we confidently choose a way of eating that will help us to live long enough and strong enough to do and be all God created us for?

There are some Biblical principles we can follow that will make this topic a little clearer. So, if you're ready to dig into scripture to see what wisdom we can find as we endeavor to find the answer to the question, "Does God care about what you eat, and why?" then I want you to grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

035// On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I've got something really special for you. I’m going to be sharing with you the message I preached at the Friday night session of our REVIVE Women’s Conference that just happened this past weekend. It’s called Coming Out in Power and I’ve got to say, this was an extremely powerful session.

You know . . . we can do battle with the devil all day long, we can fight the good fight, but if we don’t ever really come out of the wilderness – if we just make a lifestyle out of slogging it out in the desert with no real hope for something wider, or something better – it can be a very disheartening experience.

And even if we do manage to get out of the wilderness and back into the place of seeing fruit come off of our lives, if we don’t come out in power and if we cannot connect to that power as we enter the fruitful season, we may find ourselves burned out and bitter before we know it.

No, my friend, the way God designs a desert season, he means for it to equip you and refine you, to bring out the best in you and then he'll bring you out in the power of his spirit, so that you are catapulted into your destiny with acceleration and momentum. So if you’d like to know how that works, you’re gonna want to stick around. Grab your journal and a pen, and lean in as we listen to the message, Coming Out in Power.

034// Are celebration and rest regular parts of your lifestyle?

I'm not just asking if you agree with celebration and rest as concepts. I'm asking if you regularly incorporate celebration and rest into your daily flow of living, working, creating and producing. When was the last time you intentionally and fully celebrated a win in your world? And when was the last time you took at least 24 hours off to unplug and take a real rest? Let me ask you . . . can you even remember?

On today's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing about the importance of celebration and rest as vital components of creativity and productivity because, for most of my adult life, I failed to make room for them, and it showed. My health was a mess and I was exhausted and run down all the time. I could not figure out how I could be working so hard, but not seeing more progress. I was so frustrated.

It wasn't until I had a major health relapse in 2014 and 2015 that I was forced to slow down and take look at the cadence I'd been keeping. Even though I knew the importance of celebration and rest, cerebrally, I wasn't practicing either of these things regularly. But when my digestive system and hormones decided to abruptly take a break, I had no choice but to sit still and consider how to work real celebration and rest into my flow. I'm so glad I did!

Is my story speaking to you today? Are you burned out, broken down and exhausted because you're only cycling through the preparation and productivity phases of creativity while leaving out the celebration and rest for some time "later?" If so, then this is the episode for you, my friend! Are you ready to have a listen? Then grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

033// Did you know that you have a Sound on your life?

We’ve all got a sound because that’s how God has made us. We’re sound-makers by design. Beacons. Repeaters, really.

But if we don’t realize this piece of our nature – that we’re made to make a sound for the Kingdom – this ability to make a sound can get hijacked, and often does. But here’s the thing, no matter who’s controlling your sound – whether it's submitted to God or to the enemy – it’s going to manifest. It’s going to produce something. 

On today’s episode we’re talking about how to discern what your God-sound is and how to position yourself so that you’re making your sound from that pure source while making sure that your hardware isn’t getting hijacked and the frequency out of heaven for your life isn’t getting jammed by the devil. 

Because what you’re producing with your sound matters. It matters to God, it matters for your life and it matters to the people around you. So if you’re ready to find out the answer to the question – What’s Your Sound? – and how to "hijack-proof" it from the enemy, I want you to grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

032 // Do you have a Jesus Girl Gang?

Christians have been patterned to think that if we just belong to a church, read our Bible regularly and maybe just listen to a church message or two throughout the week that we're GOOD in terms of transformation, discipleship and growth. But this just isn’t true!

We NEED deep and abiding relationships with people who are willing to walk through the tough stuff with us. We need to be in proximity to solid people of faith, but we also need to be willing to be authentic and appropriately vulnerable with these people while welcoming both the sharpening and the encouragement that comes from these types of transparent and vulnerable relationships.

Not having a crew like this may be the very reason that transformation seems to be taking so long for you, or why you feel like you’ve been stuck in a pit and no one is hearing your cries for help. Not having a Jesus Girl Gang of your own may even be a big part of the reason why you’re not feeling motivated and hopeful about your purpose or your destiny. You might be thinking it has something to do with the timing being off, God not providing yet or your circumstances just not “lining up,” but it could simply be that you aren’t in any relationships where appropriate amounts of weight, challenge and sharpening are taking place to lead to real transformation and growth.

On this episode of Positioned to Prosper we'll be talking about the What, Why and How of gathering a Jesus Girl Gang of your own. You need this, TRUST me! So, if you’re ready to learn what a Jesus Girl Gang really is (and men, this same sort of stuff applies to a Band of Mighty Men), why you need such a Gang and how to go about positioning yourself to be surrounded by the girls who are going to run with you, then I want you to grab your journal and a pen, and . . .

031// What is real discipleship?

Simply by asking that question, it's probably apparent that I believe there is a counterfeit kind of discipleship. And that, my friend, is the point of today's episode. I want to show you, through the Bible, what real discipleship is, and I’m going to do it by sharing four things that discipleship really isn't -- examples of what I call "counterfeit discipleship." And while we wade through the counterfeit, we’re going to discover the real thing.

Why is it so important to uncover what real discipleship is and how we walk in it? Good question! It's because real discipleship is what drives real transformation in the believer's life. Without real discipleship we can tend to feel stuck, disappointed and even burned out. We don't want that as a Jesus follower, right? So it's imperative that we understand what real discipleship is, how to access it and what we can look forward to when we fully engage in discipleship to see transformation come to our lives in a very powerful way.

030// "What is truth?" In John 18, Pilate asked this very question of Jesus Christ.

Here we are, thousands of years later, asking the same question -- "What is truth?" -- and struggling in our generation to answer, just the same as Pilate did. Jesus -- the living Truth -- was standing right in the room with him, and he still couldn't perceive what real truth was. Devastating, right?

Fast forward to today and we've changed the definition of truth all together to include things like "my truth" and "your truth." It's outrageous! Those things aren't really truth at all. We have a word for those things, and that word is "OPINION."

So...what is real truth, and how do we get back to it? How do we align our thinking, feeling, declaring and choices with it, and how do we deal with the fallout that comes when we decide to stand on and declare truth no matter what? That's what today's episode is all about. So if you're ready to go there, I want you to grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

029//  Are you ready to finally get to your breakthrough?Today on the podcast we're going to be talking about something I call The Breakthrough Blueprint. This blueprint is made up of four sets of questions, and it's a tool I hand to people whenever I'm helping them to get to breakthrough. Doesn't matter what area of life they are trying to get to breakthrough in . . . it can help in every area.

I am very passionate about helping people to get to breakthrough and victory. I also love a good step-by-step process, program or guide. The way I'm made, a lot of the processes and steps I teach others came to me as I worked through different areas of breakthrough in my own life. The Breakthrough Blueprint actually came to me in pieces about twelve years ago as I was learning how to walk out of postpartum anxiety with God. 

Over the years, as I've shared the Blueprint with others, I've streamlined the sets of questions into four pillars, and these pillars have supported many people as they walk towards their own breakthroughs. Are you ready to finally get to your breakthrough? Then it's time to listen in to this week's episode of Positioned to Prosper. Grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

028// Erica is sharing her REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out message entitled "Coming Out: The Door of Favor" on this week's episode!It's 2021 and the Church has experienced a tremendous wake-up call over the past year. As we look around we're realizing . . . it's time to make a sound for Jesus and the Kingdom in a way that is clearer and sharper than ever before. It's what we're made for!

Something that's become apparent to me as I’ve prayed into this transition is that the Church is coming out. We’re coming out of a slumber. We’re coming out of a wilderness. We’re shaking off the lethargy, finding our voice and getting ready to run. But first, we’ve got to find the exit door from the sleepy season so we can step across the threshold and enter the "make a bold sound" season. And do you know what I've found? The exit door is actually a door called Favor.

In today's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a message I just delivered at REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out entitled -- Coming Out: Finding the Door of Favor. This message is all about realizing the wilderness you've been in and finding the exit door God is bringing you to so you can come out of your wilderness in power.

027// Do you follow a budget? Do you want to?

Today on the podcast we're talking about the importance of having and following a budget and some ways we can make sure that the budget we create and use is based on Biblical principles and godly wisdom. But let me just say, what that actually looks like might surprise you. Hint: There's risk involved in this brand of budgeting and it's spelled F.A.I.T.H.

I'm going to be giving you step-by-step instructions for how to get started setting up a customized budget and access to various templates and tools you can use to help you get it done quickly and excellently while mastering this skill set. Sounds good, right?

026// Are we ready to say NO MORE to this victimhood culture we've got going lately?

In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we’re talking about being a victim when it’s long past the expiration date. Oh, yeah, we are SO going there. So right off the bat I want to invite you to pull on your unoffendable pants and sweater, mkay?

This episode should come with a warning, I tell ya. I’m not going to pussyfoot around this stuff because that right there is an actual strategy that the enemy uses to keep you stuck in victim mentality. So I won’t partner. I’m going to shoot you straight today.

I’m going to tell you what the word of God has to say to people who’ve been victimized – what Jesus himself said to folks who’d been the victim of abuse or a heinous wrong – and I’m not going to bow to what current culture is trying to orchestrate. I don't care if this culture tries to cancel me. Because victim mentality is killing us.

So I will gladly go out front and draw the fire if it means I get to preach the word of God to you and set you free from the lie that is justifying the never-healing wounds of our victimhood. You hear me? Big girl and big boy pants, okay? Unoffendable. Teachable. Sitting real close to the Holy Spirit and asking him to hug us and nudge us – whichever is appropriate – whenever we need it during this session, okay? Do we have a deal?

So, if you’re ready to get real about how this victimhood lifestyle our culture is pushing is actually killing us, and what to do to get really free and to get your power back, this episode is for you. It's time to grab your journal and a pen . . . Let’s Go!

025// Have you ever thought about homeschooling your kid?

These days, the public school system environment and the curriculum being taught in its classrooms is becoming increasingly dismissive of the Biblical worldview and is, in many ways, actively working to program your kid into an anti-Kingdom culture. So it's no surprise that there has been an uptick in the number of faith-filled Christians considering homeschooling for their kids. But here's the thing . . .

Most don't think they can do it. Visit any of the thousands of homeschooling groups on Facebook and you'll find tons of discussions around the doubts and concerns parents have as they consider whether they can really bring their kids home and be their primary teacher. So, what are those doubts?

From thinking they don't have the time or that they can't both homeschool their kids and hold down a job at the same time to doubting they actually have the level of experience or skill or knowledge to be able to teach their own kids successfully, parents can start to feel overwhelmed and scared at even just the idea of homeschooling. And then you throw in the notion that maybe their kids won't get appropriate "socialization" (a full-on myth), and it can start to feel like making the move to homeschooling is simply impossible.

But what if I told you it's easier than you think and that a lot of the doubts you might have are actually based on misconceptions? And that the rest of the fears or hurdles can be dealt with if we just take it step by step? Listen, if you've ever thought about homeschooling your kid -- even for a hot second -- I want to encourage you to lean into this episode and let me share some things I've learned after homeschooling my own kids for the last four years. I'm no expert, but I do have some thoughts that might just help to get you past the doubts, fears and hurdles so you can make a solid decision based on what God's plan is for your own family. If you're ready to consider what it might take to homeschool your own kid (and if you really can do it), grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

024// What does it look like to actively parent? What does your gut say that means? And more importantly, what does your Bible say about it?

In the current world we're living in, our children are bombarded on the daily with a particularly humanistic and anti-God worldview, more so than in any other generation before. From the things that are being taught as official "curriculum" in their schools, to what passes as acceptable and even "encouraging" and "kind" in the TV shows and movies they are watching, to the escalating violence found in the video games they are playing, to what is being talked about and offered up as the "norm" in their friend groups, it's a concerning time to be parenting, to put it mildly. It can feel downright scary and overwhelming if we're being really honest.

As a Christian parent, the Bible tells me my first job is to train up my children in the way they should go so when they are old they won't depart from it. God's word also tells me the way to do this best: by telling the stories of what God has done and reminding my children of his commandments and his nature. We are to train our children up in the ways of God. These days that means undoing the training that's being done to them on the daily by all the aforementioned institutions and their authority figures.

How do we actively parent towards godliness and Kingdom values in an environment like this? What's holding us back from being truly present in our kids' lives and telling them the stories and the commands of God on a regular basis? And how do we get back on track? We're having a good old fashioned "Come to Jesus" in this episode of Positioned to Prosper. So if you're ready to get clear on the state of the next generation and how we must align in this season to truly train up our children, grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

023// Are you carrying any amount of consumer debt currently?

Any amount? And any type of personal debt from car loan to a mortgage on your home, a student loan or even an amount due on a past due medical or utility bill. Do you owe any sort of money to anybody for a good or service that you already consumed or used or are currently consuming or using? This is all the kind of debt we're going to be talking about today and I want to make sure our starting point is clear.

Now, how are you feeling about that debt? Does it feel overwhelming at times? Does it make you nervous? Or even scared? Or do you simply feel as though debt is a way of life, something you have to learn to live with or you won't be able to live the kind of life that you need to live? What's your relationship like with debt? And the big question . . . would you like to get FREE?

In today's episode I'm sharing the secret of how to get and stay debt-free for life. The secret is seriously just one key. That’s it. It’s one thing that actually has the potential to sprout and grow in your life and it will have the effect of driving debt out of your life. Are you ready to learn what this is? What this one key secret is?

Could God trust you to stay on mission with that kind of cash? Would you feel confident to carry God’s checkbook in this world and to manage those finances well? It’s a big set of questions, right? 

Most of us might say, “Hey, do you think I could just get enough to pay my rent and my car payment and maybe have a family vacay this year?” If that’s the level of our ask, my friend, we’re asking WAY BELOW the level God has for us. We need to know how to steward what God wants to give us and that starts with understanding why he wants to give anybody large amounts of wealth.

Are you ready to find out what really doesn't move the hand of God to provide and what really gets provision flowing from heaven to you and me?

In this episode we'll be talking about true prosperity and why that "get out of debt" program or "how to be rich" book didn’t work for you. Seriously, we’re going to blow up some hurdles today and leave some faulty mindsets behind. And I’m going to come running out of the gates today because I need to tell you something up front and clear:

A program can’t get you out of debt if your mind has been programmed by generations of lack and poverty mentality.

A book can’t teach you how to get rich if you haven’t been getting rich off the Good Book first.

No guru can teach you how to swap things in your budget around so you prosper until you let the Redeemer swap out all the lies and orphan habits and fear for the inheritance you have access to because of Him.

So jump on into this episode with me and we'll discover not only the definition of true prosperity, but how to step into it and walk in it. Grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

020// Have you ever heard the term "stewarding health?" Do you know what it means to steward your health? If you are a Christian and have read your Bible at all, you may know that this "stewarding health" phrase is a concept you can find in the word of God. Jesus actually told parables that included stewards. Stewarding means to care for something you do not necessarily own. Sometimes you've been paid to do this stewarding and sometimes you do it as a function of being a part of a family.

We are called as sons and daughters -- kind of like apprentices in the family business -- to steward things God has given to us in our lives. We steward gifts he's given us, relationships he's given us and even things like the portions of faith, hope and health he's given us. He calls us to enjoy these things but to also be responsible to guard them and care for them.

When it comes to stewarding health, God has given each of us a portion of health, and it is our responsibility to steward it. Our bodies are considered to be temples of the living God; the Holy Spirit lives inside of us as believers. So to the extent we maintain and care for our bodies, we are stewarding our "temple" well and our health will be protected.

But did you know that you aren't just a body? If you've listened to episode #3 of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, you are aware that you are a triune being. You ARE a spirit, you HAVE a soul and you LIVE IN a body. In order to effectively your steward health, you must understand this triune health concept and how your triune being works. Once you do, it's to you to walk in such a way that you care for your health holistically -- spirit, soul and body. And you need to do this because you are carrying the very presence of God AND the purpose and call for your life that he created you for. If you don't steward health well, you won't be around long enough or strong enough to do and be all God created you for.

It is vital that we understand how to steward our health right now, and so I wanted to give you some resources and tools to help in this endeavor. If this is something you want to lean into and learn more about, grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

019// How is the Church positioned as we enter 2021? What's our stance when it comes to what is happening in our culture? I've got some thoughts I want to share . . .

This episode of the podcast is slightly different than my "normal" offering. In general, I like to offer highly practical and applicable teachings here on Positioned to Prosper, but today I really felt to share my heart around the state of the Church and Christianity as we enter 2021, as they have been buffeted over the past ten months by pandemic, social justice tensions and a highly contested election. And this episode may be quite pivotal for some as they determine whether they can handle my brand of delivery when it comes to absolute truth and the role of the Church to influence and shape culture as we move forward.

I'm also addressing the elephant in the room: "Erica, do you think someone who voted for Joe Biden can really be a Christian?" I'm going there in this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast.

018// Do you know where your worthiness really comes from?

Today I want to encourage you on a topic that I think a lot of us have dealt with at some point or another when we’ve tried to do something that means focusing some time on personal transformation.

Over the past decade or so there've been a few guiding voices who’ve put out a sound that says, “Look, you’re worthy of self-care. You can’t take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself first. So take the time for yourself so you can be better for others.” And I think those sentiments are based in truth. I do believe you’ve got to have something to pour from. If you’re empty and leaking all the time, you’re going to be giving out of nothing. And that’s a recipe for bitterness and burnout. But here are two root issues I think go unaddressed:

1 - We don't know where a true sense of worthiness really comes from and so we pull from a counterfeit source and wind up feeling unworthy as a result; and

2 - Because we don't know true worthiness, we don't value and/or we don't know how to establish appropriate boundaries around our life so we can grow and strengthen and steward what God's given us to care for in our lives while appropriately relating to those around us.

In today's episode I'm sharing an excerpt from an audio series I created for one of my programs, The Beacon 21 Day Reset, where I share how to receive a true sense of worthiness and then how to establish appropriate boundaries so you can live successfully out of that worthiness while serving God and others.

Spoken words are powerful. The book of Genesis tells us the entire world was created when God spoke. And we're made in the image of God, so we carry that creative capacity inside of us. When we speak, we create, too.

So how can you make sure that the words you speak carry power to create the things you want to see created? And how can you get into the habit of declaring powerfully without feeling like you're just saying things and hoping they're going to happen? That's what we're talking about in this episode.

016// You know what's more valuable than money? And what's even more valuable than time? Your health! Think about it . . .

There is no amount of money in the world that can buy you health. Sure, it may be able to buy you better food, a personal trainer or even expensive therapies if you become sick, but it's not a sure thing that these things will make you well. And when it comes to time -- to the length of your life or even the quality of life that you're living -- your health is actually a driver and a determining variable.

Here's the question: How are you stewarding the health you have? How are you caring for the body, soul and spirit God gave you? Do you need to step it up a little bit? Or a lot? Either way, I've got you covered in this episode about how to steward your health well right now. I've even got a simple, effective plan for you to try if that's what you're needing to get this "stewarding health show" on the road.

So, if  you're ready to wade into this topic of stewarding health on purpose as a function of your Christianity -- Uhhhh, YEAH. We're going there. -- Then grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

015// How do you do with asking for help? I'm talking about anything from asking for a little bit of help like, "Can you pick something up for me at the store you're already going to?" all the way up to that BIG ask of helping you to be accountable in a major life transformation you're going after. There's this really broad spectrum of things in life that we can be asking for help on, but no matter what we need help on, it's the ask that generally trips us up the most.

I've learned a little bit about my listener over these past few months of podcasting and asking questions, and one thing I know is that you're a highly motivated bunch. You have a sense of destiny on your life, you know you have a call on your life to do something great, and you love to see transformation happen!

What I've also come to know about you is that you're likely to have a slightly "weird" relationship with asking for help because, like many of us, you've picked up the idea along the way that you have to do this stuff all by yourself. That somehow the quality of the success you're going to see is somehow based on whether you were able to do it on your own or not.

But can I tell you something? That is SUCH a lie! We are human beings who were designed by God to live in community and to help one another. I believe this ability to ask for help, and to do it in a healthy way, is actually a massive gift from God to us . . . if we steward it rightly.

Has this concept of asking for help in a healthy way got you thinking? Are you interested to know four tips that can get you asking for help with less drama and stress, and more results you can feel good about? If so, I want you to grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

014// Do you love to think about vision and targets and goals, or things you want to accomplish in the upcoming year? I know I sure love it and, in fact, I have been a planner since I was five or six years old. True story! Since elementary age I was known for carrying a planner around everywhere I went, and being a planner is just part of who I am now.

But I've learned some things these last forty or so years as I've spent some time at the end of each year looking back and reviewing, and looking forward and planning. Some things that have helped me to avoid the traps of perfectionism and being hyper-critical. And other things that have taught me how to really use planning as a tool to increase productivity and my sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

Is this something you're interested in? Would you like to see your productivity go up in this coming year? Would you like to feel fulfilled and accomplished by what you did with God over just 12 short months? If so, I want you to grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

013// Are you a Goals Girl? Or a Goals Guy? Do you just LOVE goals? Does part of your process at the beginning a year involve sitting down and devising a whole set of S.M.A.R.T. goals?

I used to be a HUGE Goals Girl. My background is in accounting and taxation. I went to school for a BA in business administration with a minor in accounting, and then went on to earn a Masters of Science in taxation. During my thirteen year career in the marketplace, I worked jobs where specificity, precision and measurement were highly valued.

I'm a Type A, you guys! I'm an Enneagram 1w2 -- a "Reformer" type. So I really love rules and process and and analytics and all that sort of stuff. And I spent every minute of my time in my marketplace jobs celebrating goals, requiring them to be set and followed by my teams, and living and dying by them all along the way.

Until, one day a few years ago, when I was sitting with the Lord in a prayer time, and I felt him ask me this question: "Erica, are goals my best for you?" Right then and there, I realized . . . Maybe Not. And I went on a journey into the Bible to see what God really has to say about goals and what truly is his best for me.

Is this topic piquing your interest? Have you been wondering if goals are really helping you to live an "on purpose" life that bears fruit and feels fulfilling? If so, I want you to come along on this journey of an episode today. Grab your journal and a pen . . . and Let's Go!

012// How do you do when you know you need to choose truth over feelings? Are you driven by your feelings even though you know somewhere, deep down inside, it would be best for you to choose truth in the moment?

And let me ask you this: Do you have a standard for truth? Or have you hopped onto the recent cultural bandwagon of belief that claims we can define truth for ourselves? "My truth is . . . " Or, do you stand on the word of God as absolute truth and understand that "my truth" and "your truth" is simply a statement of opinion?

Sticking with the standard of absolute truth is one of the most important things you can do for your emotional health, and this is especially true during times of change, transition, acceleration or even outright chaos. That's because the temptation to live our lives by following our feelings is so loud, and doing so regularly creates train wrecks in our lives that distract at best...and derail and destroy at worst. Feelings make the worst drivers!

If you're ready to learn the Why and How of choosing truth over feelings consistently so you can create a life you really love to live -- one that isn't wrecking you at every bend and valley -- then you're going to want to grab your journal and a pen and . . . Let's Go!

011// How do you shift a spiritual atmosphere? Have you ever walked into a room and just known that a few minutes before people had been fighting in there? That's picking up an atmosphere. Or how about this . . . you walk into a different room and now you feel the overwhelming peace and presence of God? That's picking up an atmosphere, too.

See, we humans are spiritual beings, and we have the ability to pick up spiritual atmospheres. And as I've been asking folks what they'd like me to talk about next here on the podcast, the overwhelming answer I've received has been: Can you teach me how to shift a spiritual atmosphere? So that is what we're going to do on this episode of Positioned to Prosper.

I love this question about shifting atmospheres because it tells me something: If you're asking the question then you know somewhere deep down inside that, as a child of God, you have the ability to shift an atmosphere. You just want to know how. So if you're ready to learn about how to shift spiritual atmospheres in all different kinds of situations, I want you to grab your pen and a journal, and . . . Let's Go!

010// Do you remember that book, Boundaries, by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend? Have you ever read it? I did, back in the 90's while I was in counseling and also participating in a recovery group at my local church. I grew up in a family that really didn't have great boundaries -- we were fairly enmeshed -- and I'm betting that many who will listen to this episode could say, "Me, too." Codependency and lack of healthy boundaries is a fairly common story when it comes to the majority of families in the "westernized" world. So, where did all the talk about codependency and boundaries go lately? I don't think it actually went anywhere; I think it just morphed. I think we learned how to control it some, we learned how to "Christianize" it as it came into churches unhealed, and I think we allowed it to shape shift into justifiable blame in some situations. In this episode we'll be picking that conversation back up. What's "new" with codependency and boundaries, and what the heck are long runways? And how can I show up to my relationships better, as I learn how to set healthy boundaries and navigate long runways? If you're okay with getting a little uncomfortable so you can get a little bit healed and a lot more powerful in your relationships, I want you to stick around for this episode. Grab your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!

009// What is God saying to his Church in this moment? As we come through COVID, quarantines, and mask mandates, as we navigate social justice issues and a historic American  election, what is the role of His Church in this volatile season? We're shaking things up a bit on the Positioned to Prosper podcast this week, stepping away from the step-by-step strategies and practical life-skills topics as I share a series of words I've received in prayer over the past year on what God is calling His Church to be and do in this hour. We are entering a season of Reformation in the Church and it requires an awakened and risen up church who is ready to cross the river and walk by His Spirit in absolute Biblical truth and love. Are you ready for this? And what's your role in all of it? Let's consider these things together as I share what I see for The Church in this upcoming year.

007// Do you feel like you’re currently creating a life you love right now? Or do you just spend a lot of time thinking about a life you would love to have? For many of us, we spend a whole lot of time looking around at other people’s lives and creating vision boards of what we’d LIKE our life to look like – and while I wouldn’t say having a vision board is a bad thing when it comes to creating a life you love, it’s just one step in the process. If we’re spending most of our time taking inventory of the lives we see around us so we can piece together our best life out of comparison, or if we keep finding ourselves stuck in the dream and hope phase of creation, we’re likely never going to get to the life we love. Not fully. And who knows, it’s no fun to feel stuck? It’s no fun to feel like you’re doing a lot of things, expending a lot of energy, trying really hard to build a life you love, but not seeing the fruit. Are you ready to create a life that you can love to live, even as you’re still creating it? If so, you’re in the right place. On this episode I’ve got 7 steps for you that’ll get you creating your best life starting TODAY. What do you say we leave spinning wheels and hustle and grind strategies behind  right now? If you’re ready, grab your journal and a pen and . . . Let's Go!

006// Overwhelm. It’s probably the most cited complaint in our culture right now. Everything is just TOO MUCH. Noise coming at us from every angle, deadlines and turn around times being accelerated, everyone pulling on us for something. And we don’t have enough time, energy or attention span to keep it all contained. Am I right? So what are we going to do about this? It used to be that taking a class on time management could shore some of it up, maybe putting everything onto a calendar and putting some firm boundaries around it could work, but no more. Like a game of Tetris as the rounds go by, the pieces just keep falling faster and faster and we’re just one minor distraction away from it all walling up around us and announcing "GAME OVER." So, what do we do? How do we overcome overwhelm when the very lifestyle of this season seems to be overwhelm? Well, I’ve got some strategies to share with you today that I think will help. So grab a journal and a pen, and press play, as Erica shares five tips to take you from overwhelm to overflow.

Are you feeling like you’re lacking the get up and go you once had? How about anxious or edgy? These sorts of things have become fairly par for the course when it comes to a lifestyle that’s been forced into confinement or where major change has been thrust upon you or where you feel like you can’t predict or control what’s going to happen next. But intentionally focusing on making 5 or 6 very basic changes in your lifestyle over just 7 days can have a dramatic impact on how you think, feel and perform.

002// What can your story really do? A whole LOT if you consider the Bible and God's track record throughout history. He LOVES to come through a believing believer's story to bring impartation, healing, inspiration and even the miraculous to those who are living close by. In this episode I'm sharing snapshots from my own story, including how I came to Jesus in my twenties (after being raised Catholic), and how I walked through digestive and hormonal imbalances and postpartum anxiety and panic with God and came out, whole and healed, with a powerful testimony that serves people whenever I step out and share. God will do the same with and for you! So, what's your story? And what can God do with it? Let's jump in and find out!
