Rooted: Real People, Real Issues, Real Growth I Got the Juice: Insight into Your Calling Part 2Last week we began discussing growing or regaining confidence in who it is we’ve been called to be. This week we continue exploring the story of Moses and discover how he went from being a gifted speaker to doubting his gift altogether. What happens when you stop believing that you can do what God said you could do? And what does it look like when you stop giving up and start believing again? Let’s talk about it tonight on I Got the Juice, Part 2. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shin...

Rooted: Real People, Real Issues, Real Growth I Got the Juice: Insight into Your CallingEveryone has a desire to know what you were created for. You know what you like to do, and what you don’t. What you’re naturally good at, and other things, not so much. But what do you do when you don’t doubt God, you don’t even doubt your gifts, you just doubt…well yourself. How can we address and shift a mindset that says “I can’t” versus “I AM”? We’ll talk about it in this episode: I Got The Juice: An insight into your calling. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com...

Rooted: Real People, Real Issues, Real Growth Exodus: Promise, Proximity & PurposeIt’s not the existence of God that you’re questioning. You believe in Him. It’s not the presence of your calling—you know you have a gift. What you don’t believe in—is yourself. Is it possible that you have not seen the results, progress or growth that you desire, because you believe what God has to say about Him, just not what God has to say about you?

Love 2. Significance and Security. And because we all share those same needs, you would think we could all acknowledge not only that they exist but also agree to show grace, empathy and compassion to one another as we try to navigate relationships and this crazy world that we live in.

At Rooted we are all about teaching you practical ways to live life well, and you can’t get relationships right without learning how to address offense. If your goal in your relationships, whether professional, platonic, or personal is to not fight. You’re setting yourself up for an emotional knock-out.

The first two episodes titled Oh You Mad Parts 1 and 2, address three critical questions we have to ask ourselves if we are going to learn how to handle offense and conflict well.

Rooted: Real People, Real Issues, Real Growth Fight Club: Oh You Mad? Part 2Welcome back, last week we started our new series on conflict resolution called Fight Club, and our first episode was Oh You Mad Part 1. In that episode we talked about three questions we must ask if we are going to learn how to resolve potential offenses that can lead to conflict. All three questions are posted on my Instagram at shinia_lambert, if you are like me and are a visual person. So the first question we ask is: 1. Is this thought/statement/accusation true or is there a reasonable alternative thought?

We discussed filters or gates that affect what enters into our hearts and ultimately what comes out. As Proverbs 27:19 says as water reflects the face so the heart reflects the person. What’s in your heart is who you are—and make no mistake what’s in our heart will come out.

The beautiful thing is that there is forgiveness and grace where we are willing to admit, we may have gotten it wrong. However, we have to also admit, while forgiveness is available, the effects of false teaching, poor teaching, manipulation, and hypocrisy can lead to long lasting issues, including church trauma, which pushes people away...

Rooted: Real People, Real Issues, Real Growth Paul: Persecutor to ApostleLast week we began our new study into the New Testament. Because the Apostle is a primary contributor to the text, we thought it imperative that we take some time to understand who Paul was, and his conversion from the person we are first introduced to in the book of Acts, to the passionate preacher we come to know as Paul. This is an introduction that really is better served in Scripture. Lets just get into it in tonight’s episode: Paul: Persecutor to Apostle. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shinia-lambert/me...

I don’t know where you might find yourself this first week of January 2023—maybe you’re inspired and motivated to accomplish some goals, maybe you’re in an in-between place where you don’t have any specific plans, but you do desire to see some growth, or maybe you’re on the verge of isolation—you feel dull and disengaged and don’t feel any sense of desire to do much but make it through another da...

Rooted: Real People, Real Issues, Real Growth Endgame: Hype in the HibernationIn the winter there are certain animals that hibernate. Hibernation is a way that animals deal with the harshness of winter. They find a safe place and they stay there until the dangers of winter pass. Hibernating animals are so still, and disengaged, --they barely breathe, their body temperature drops, and those who happened upon them would think them dead. What those observers don’t know is that the hibernation isn’t just a decision to detach—it’s a survival mechanism. One that was prepped for—the hard work has already been done…this rest…this slowing down season, allows...

Rooted: Real People, Real Issues, Real Growth Endgame: Wheat in the Winepress: Stop Hiding Part 2Last week we started talking Endgame—our determination to finish the year strong with a game plan, a final move, a huge push. In doing so we discussed one of the mindsets that can jeopardize our ability to do just that—hiding. Hiding ourselves and hiding our gifts. Imposter syndrome, feeling inadequate or ill equipped is something everyone deals with at some point in time, especially if you’re called to a vision, a mission, a plan, a purpose, a calling that is bigger than you. And if any of those things came from the mouth of God, then yes fr...

Usually traffic is the result of a lot of people trying to go the same route at the same time.

The Purpose Behind Your PrayersOne of the hardest aspects of prayer is that when you pray, you have to trust that God has heard you, and that He will grant your request. We refrain, as believers, from treating God like our own personal genie in a bottle, at least we try to. But we’d be lying if we said that we didn’t want what we’ve so passionately prayed for—especially when we believe He’s the only one that can do make it happen. In 1 Samuel we learn about a young woman named Hannah who mastered the art of transparent prayer and...
