Not just because we long for a certain outcome - but because it also reveals our heart posture and alignment. (Which is often more of a concern to God than our actual request!) So today, I'm going to talk about one...

The decisions we make, the activities and emotions we engage in, where we find our value - not to mention our relationship with Jesus. So the question is: where is your identity rooted? Is it truly in Christ? Or are you seeking your identity - and thus your value - from people and things of the world? (Maybe without even realizing it because, let's be real, the world constantly tells us women that our value should come from a billion other things than Jesus.)

Whether it's a marriage, dating relationship, or co-worker situation, the results are often the same. Pain, uncertainty, and a bit of an identity crisis.

2021-11-0424 minThe Jesus Empowered Maiden: Female Identity, Authority and Freedom in Christ015 // Think Your Creative Gifts Aren't Vital to God's Kingdom? Here Are 4 Mind-Blowing Reasons to Think AgainIn the Church at large, creativity isn't really seen as a major tool. "In the beginning, God created..." (Genesis 1). Yet when it comes to helping to bring unbelievers to Christ or feeding God's children, creativity is largely absent. As a result, for those of us who are highly creative, we can often feel as if our creativity doesn't have a place. But what if I told you that your creative gift - whatever it may be - is super vital to the Kingdom? What if I told you that perhaps God has imbued you with creativity for such a...

Why? Because survivor mode is a short-term, fear-based way of thinking. Sure, it's a common mode to form when we've lived through abusive relationships; starting over from square one; dire financial hardship; or any other experience where the bottom seemingly fell out from under us. But we want to move closer to Jesus. We want to be empowered by Jesus. And our identity *is* in Jesus. Which means that, ultimately, a survivor mode has no place in our relationship with Jesus. In today's episode, I’m going to...

Having had both an abusive father and ex-husband, understanding God's love was a journey for me. And one of the major ways that God has shown me His love is through my prayer time. So in today's episode, I'm going to share those four specific items/experiences - so that you, too, can be on the lookout for them and recognize them for what they are.

(Not to mention our well-being.) After all, we cannot impart value if we do not believe we are valuable. In Episode #11, I shared the Biblical truth of how Satan has a special hatred for women. And today, I’m going to show you, through Scripture, just how quickly he worked to devalue women - and how well he has kept this truth hidden. (Because I'm betting there's a few things in this episode that you've never heard before!) Plus, I’ll c...

And that it's explained right there in the Bible? Looking at history and the all ways in which women have been limited and mistreated, that may seem like an obvious statement. Or maybe it doesn't - because how many of us have heard this concept before? Probably not many. I hadn't heard it until just recently. And what I learned was so profound to my identity as a woman, I had to share it will all of you - my sisters in Christ.

There's the pressure and expectations from other people, and the culture at large, to look a certain way, act a certain way, and keep within certain predefined systems. (Not to mention the ones we place on ourselves.) But the only expectations we should be worrying about are those from God. In fact, focusing on all these other things can actually distract us from what God has in store for us - and the impact we yearn to make.

Yet unfortunately, the interpretation a lot of us have heard is not Biblically accurate. In addition, it's also usually tied to the Church's overall message that a woman's purpose is to serve. In today's episode, I'm going to break down what the Bible really says about the creation of Eve - plus the origin of the notorious "helper"/"helpmeet" and how it's been skewed.

While its existence is understandable, due to having endured hurtful relationships or experiences, it's not something that can exist permanently in our walk with God. In fact, it directly impedes the work He wants to do within us, for us, and through us.

Yes, it's about our services and how we uniquely help others. But underneath that, it's about relational change. That's just how humanity works.
