Monday Fire 46| Are You in a Season of Run or Rest? Apr 20, 2020

Show notes

I am seeing on social media lately what I am calling productivity shaming. There are those that are saying everyone needs to use this "gift" of time to be doing something big like losing weight or cleaning out your whole house. I have been reminded that God does not have all of us in the same season. Some of us are in a season of rest while others are in a season of running! We need to honor God by honoring the season He has us in.

Which Season Are You In?

You may be in a season of rest if...
- Your calendar is wide open and you can't make anything happen.
- You are trying to make things happen and everything is heavy and hard.
- You are getting bitter.
- Nothing is working.
You may be in a season of running if...
- There are open doors all over the place.
- You feel exhilarated and not exhausted.

What To Do With Your Free Facebook Group | Episode 164 Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Some of you LOVE your free Facebook group and are doing amazing with it and I am so happy for you. For those that hate it, it's ok to let it go!!! I'll say it again, it's ok if you no longer want the free Facebook group you once created. There was a time it was a great idea for every small business to have a free Facebook group, but things changed. Remember, no Facebook group is the boss of you! You started your business for YOU. Do not ever feel like you have to explain your decisions for the business you are working so hard for. If it's stealing your peace, it's too expensive! I want to give you some other options!

Monday Fire 45 | Crisis Can Catapult Us Into Our Calling Apr 13, 2020

Show notes

I was being interviewed recently and said that I believe crisis can catapult us into our calling. This was a new thought for me, but when I look at my life, I can see that big changes and shifts were often made in response to a crisis. I know lots of people whose businesses and jobs are doing fine during this time. But I also know many who have lost their jobs or had to close their business. I want to take a few minutes to encourage you that this crisis can push you towards something even bigger...something better!

Bible Scriptures to Memorize and Focus On

What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good. -Genesis 50:20
All things work together for good to those who are called according to His purpose. -Romans 8:28

Are You Stuck? | Episode 163 Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

I want to give you a little gift. This is chapter 1 of my book, Fear Is Not the Boss of You. This book has been 4 years in the making and it is finally time to launch, even if it is in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. And maybe now is the time more than ever that people need this message about fear. Being overwhelmed, or stuck, or afraid does not have to be your story. There is a better way. Let me tell you about it.

And, I would be sooooo honored if you would like to purchase a copy of the entire book. Just go to jenniferallwood.com/book. You can get the audiobook, hardback, paperback—whichever trips your trigger!

Monday Fire 44 | The Year of the Great Divide Apr 06, 2020

Show notes

I have had a word in my heart and I think this is the right time to share it. There are so many things right now that are dividing us as a society. Politics, opinions on COVID-19 and how to handle it, and so much more. It is all causing so much division. I want to remind us all that the fight is not with each other. The real fight is between good and evil, and it will be waged on our knees, not in comments on Facebook. I hope this episode is an encouragement to you!

I wanted to start this morning off with a little bit of hope and positive thinking. I want to take a few minutes to find the silver lining. Everyone has a certain level of loss right now. We are all grieving something, but we also all kind find at least one silver lining. What will it be for you? What is something good being birthed out of the uncertain, crazy times?

Silver Linings

Often what we think is loss can just be a pivot point to something better.

Monday Fire 42 | How to Keep Your Inner Peace in a World Full of Panic Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

I want to take a moment today to give you some actionable steps and advice during the crazy and bizarre event we are living through right now. We can either look for peace or let ourselves spiral in panic. I want to help you fight for inner peace. I hope these tips help you look at what you are doing and make any changes that might be helpful during this time.

Action Steps

Grieve and get on with it. Grief requires a lot of grace and has no timeline.
Control consumption of content. Guard yourself.
Who and what you are surrounding yourself is critical. Are they leading you more towards faith or towards panic? Find people and accounts that are turning you back to Jesus.
Keep your mind on these things— things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8).
Pray more and panic less. Be in prayer more than you are consuming the news.
