Hayley Morgan on the power of our thoughts, our hearts, and finding our calling Oct 08, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we discuss:

1. How to step into God’s plan for your life with bravery

2. Keeping a healthy view of self in an often unhealthy Instagram world

3. Closing the integrity gap between what you know to be true in your head and what you feel in your heart

Favorite quotes:

1. Negative self-talk is the one thing that holds us back. It is something that we do to ourselves that we would never allow someone else to do to us or to talk to our children that way.

2. We’re empowered to do things because of the power of the Holy Spirit and the faith that we have. If we just assumed we couldn’t, it would be like negating the thing we say we know is true.

3. If you don’t nip it in the bud at “I can’t do this”, it goes from “I can’t do this” to “I’m not enough”. If you feel like you’re not enough and you don’t nip that in the bud you feel like nothing is ever going to change. And when you feel like nothing is ever going to change, that is the definition of hopelessness.

In this episode I answer these questions:

1. What do you think of the advice that we should just follow our passion? (48:22)

2. Why do Christians say they love Jesus and still act like horrible people? (54:19)

3. When you are working with your business coaching clients, what habits or beliefs are the ones that make some of them unable to succeed? (57:53)

The Year of Living Happy Oct 01, 2018

Show notes

This is a special episode of the show because it is launch week for my new book, The Year of Living Happy. I like to think of this show as “everything you ever wanted to know about happiness but didn’t know who to ask!”

I’m answering your questions, and I don’t hold anything back! You’ll learn why I believe some popular sayings about happiness that are shared on Pinterest and from the pulpit are unbiblical, my own struggles with overcoming depression and finding happiness, and why as women of God we have the responsibility to invest in our happiness.

In this episode I share-

Why I think the statement “Do more of what makes you holy not happy” is unbiblical.

The answer to the debate on if there is a difference between happiness and joy.

My own struggles with depression and hope for those who live with it.

Questions I answered in this episode-

1. Can you please settle the do more what makes you happy versus holy debate! (2:58)

2. What is the difference between joy and happiness? (7:08)

3. Is contentment the same as happiness? (12:15)

4. Do you believe that those struggling with depression can be happy again? (14:40)

5. I’m a stay at home mom, something I’ve prayed for but I lost my joy. How do I fight back? (17:49)

6. I’m obeying God but what He’s asking me to do isn’t making me happy. What do I do? (25:19)

7. How do you find happiness when all doors close and everybody claims its God’s will? (26:36)

8. How do I find happiness when I don’t think God is answering my prayers? (26:45)

Quotes from this episode-

1. The statement that God wants you to be holy and not happy is unbiblical.

2. There is no happiness on this earth. No real, authentic, long-lasting, meaningful happiness outside of God's will for us.

3. There is nothing in the bible that separates the concept of joy and happiness. They have one in the same meaning according to the original languages of scripture.

4. When we separate God from our happiness and from our longing for happiness, we undermine the Christian worldview. -Randy Alcorn

5. We need to trust that God is good. Even when things seem bad, that God puts us on a path and a journey that may not be especially happy at the moment, but He has good for us. That His desire for us is happiness in Him.

I hope you love this special solo episode and run out to Target this week and pick up The Year of Living Happy. Get one for yourself and 9 of your friends. :)

Jennie Allen on the IF:Gathering, saying yes to God, and the truth about seasons. Sep 24, 2018

Show notes

In this episode we discuss:

How to start doing what God is calling you to when you don’t know the master plan
Making your days count
How to deal with difficult seasons

Favorite quotes:

I never felt like I had to have it all together, I would have liked that, but that’s not the story that God has ever given me.
The “But God” parts are the best parts of life. We miss the “But God” parts when we are trying to measure up and achieve. We’re looking for self-esteem but we really just need the supernatural power of God.
The greatest way to get over ourselves is to think about other people and to fix our eyes on Jesus. How do you that in the greatest form? Take risks.
Until you know that God catches you, it’s harder to jump. Once you know that He catches you, you jump more readily and take a higher cliff.
I am a mistake maker. It’s what I do. However, God has given me my worth, not that mistake maker place in my soul...I don’t let it become my identity and my worth.
If something is from God, you can know that all of will come against it.

In this episode I answer these questions:

Do you ever feel extra pressure to not ever feel busy, worried, or unhappy because you write books on how to overcome it? How do you balance living what you teach? Whenever I try to teach on anything, I feel like a hypocrite because I can’t walk it out perfectly. (48:10)
How can I help my kids develop their own faith and not just depend on my faith? (51:07)
How do you know when it’s the right time to quit your job and go full in on your running your own business. (54:0)

Jessica Turner on overcoming mom-guilt, comparison, and the truth about working moms. Sep 17, 2018

Show notes

style="white-space: pre-wrap;" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">In this episode we discuss:

1. Her (almost) world-famous family tradition

2. How to balance and blend work and family well.

3. How to overcome mom guilt.

Favorite quotes:

1. It’s important to not compare myself to other people, I need to remind myself of that occasionally. Social media can make that really easy to compare.

2. With mom guilt, I think it’s really important for us to have honest conversations about what the challenges are and how we each uniquely deal with those challenges.

3. Being a self-aware parent is recognizing how what we are doing is impacting our kids. How our kids are reacting to things and how they’re feeling about things.

4. Do your version of motherhood.

Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business.

In this episode I answer these questions:

1. What do you do when you feel stuck and don’t know what to do? (32:00)

2. What is the quickest way God gets your attention? ( 38:27)

3. I know I need to put content out there, but I just don’t know where to start. Should it be a blog, a youtube channel, a podcast or just focus on Instagram? (43:16)
