Monday Fire 96 | Are You A "Holder-Backer?" Apr 19, 2021

Show notes

Are you a holder backer? Maybe you have some strong opinions or thoughts on something, but you never share. Or maybe you consistently aren't getting what you want, but you still keep quiet. Sound like you? You might be a holder-backer. Today I want to talk about two reasons why you may be holding back, and what to do about it.

"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe." - Proverbs 29:25

Two Reasons Why You Are a "Holder-Backer"

Women hold back their thoughts because they feel like they've never had a voice.
You are afraid of confrontation, and a people pleaser.

Monday Fire 95 | Claim Your Territory Apr 12, 2021

Show notes

The Lord reminded me of a note I have on my phone and that is to "claim your territory." The bible talks a lot about territories. We usually think about this in the form of boundaries on our land, but there are spiritual territories as well! Now more than ever, you need to put a stake in the ground about what you stand for. God spoke the word into existence, and friend, there is power over our words! This thing that God put in your heart is yours, and you need to do it well! Friend, claim your territory.

Listen to The Year of The Great Divide Podcast 3 Things

This is the season and the year to draw lines in the sand.
This is the year to take a stake in the ground.
Some of you are seeing gaps in your industry, but that might be the territory that God has for you.
The process isn't easy - claiming your territory will cost you.
Pray the Prayer of Jabez

Monday Fire 94 | unHUSHable Apr 05, 2021

Show notes

I am back from Flordiaaaaa!!! Something happened on the plane ride home, and so the last couple of days I've been giving my opinion on a few hot topics.... and let's just say it's been a very interesting couple of days on my Instagram stories. I blew a gasket because I am so passionate about standing up for our kiddos. I learned a lesson that I want to share with you today, and that's to be "unhushable." It's so important as believers to learn to disagree and still be kind. We have to rise above it, friends.

3 Things

You get to have a voice.
Kindness should not be contingent on believing the same thing.
It's biblical to be a voice for those who don't feel like they have one. (Proverbs 31:8)
