Hosted by Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne, founder of Freedom Support Solutions and the Association of Christian Business Women, this is a space for clarity, encouragement, and conviction.

    Closing the Tabs: How to Find Order in the Middle of Chaos

    Please Message Us - We Want to Hear from You! How many tabs do you have open right now? Not on your computer. In your life. In this episode, Stacy Jo welcomes Melissa Kessler, wellness entrepreneur, homemaker, ACBW member, and founder of Temple and Sanctuary. After nearly 15 years in holistic wellness and a season of burnout as a high performing entrepreneur, Melissa arrived at a conviction that shapes everything she does: real wellness isn't possible without making room for the Holy Spirit, in us and in the homes we are meant to steward. You'll hear: • How chasing goals became a way of proving her worth • The warning signs of burnout she saw and pushed past • Why stewarding everything does not mean doing everything • What Martha and Mary teach busy women about the many tabs we keep open • The one question to ask before you say yes: "If I say yes to this, what am I saying no to?" • Practical ways to make your home a sanctuary • The one tab Melissa says to close first Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Luke 10:41-42, and 1 Corinthians 14:33 (NIV) Get Melissa's free Closing Tabs Guide to quiet mental clutter and make room for the Holy Spirit when you subscribe to her Substack publication, She Stewards: https://templeandsanctuaryco.substack.com Follow Temple and Sanctuary Co on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/templeandsanctuaryco) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/templeandsanctuaryco) Follow Melissa's behind the scenes of building a business in midlife: https://www.instagram.com/iammelissajkessler KINGDOM LEADHERSHIP ONE-DAY CONFERENCE Saturday, January 30, 2027 | DoubleTree, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida Most business conferences ask you to leave your faith at the door.

    Why 'I Can't' Is the Worst Phrase You Can Say

    Please Message Us - We Want to Hear from You! Stop letting the phrase "I can't" hold you back. Discover how this limiting belief stops your growth as a Christian leader. We often use the phrase "I can't" without realizing the weight it carries. Whether in casual conversation or strategic business planning, these words shut down possibilities before they even begin. In this conversation, we examine how these small words create real barriers, ultimately ending discussions and fostering a spirit of limitation that contradicts our calling. If you are ready for a serious mindset shift, this discussion provides the tools to identify when you are self-sabotaging. We will look at how to replace these reactive excuses with intentional language that aligns with your purpose. Overcoming obstacles starts with the words you choose, and recognizing this pattern is the first step toward better Christian leadership. Subscribe for weekly Kingdom LeadHERship breakdowns, and let us know in the comments how you are reframing your language this week.

    Why You Need To Take Voting Seriously (It’s A Matter Of Stewardship) | Dorothy Kraft

    Please Message Us - We Want to Hear from You! Why don't people vote? When someone asked Dorothy Kraft that question, her answer came down to three words: apathy, ignorance, and priorities. If we're honest, those words may describe a season in our own lives. In this episode of the Kingdom LeadHERship Podcast, Stacy Jo sits down with Dorothy Kraft, Florida Director for the National Faith Advisory Board and Southeast Regional Director for For Liberty and Justice. Together they explore why voting is more than a civic duty. It is a matter of stewardship. Dorothy walks through how Isaiah 33:22 mirrors the three branches of our government, what Romans 13 means in a nation where the people choose their leaders, and why the rights we so often take for granted come from God, not government. In this episode: The three reasons believers sit out elections, and what each one costs usHow Isaiah 33:22 lines up with the judicial, legislative, and executive branchesWhy our rights come from God and government exists to protect themHow to engage fully while keeping our hope in God aloneOne simple step you can take this week to become an informed voterScripture referenced (NIV): Isaiah 33:22, Romans 13:1, Jeremiah 29:7, 1 Timothy 2:1-2 Voter resources: Check your registration: https://www.vote.orgMillion Voices voter guides: https://millionvoices.orgFlorida Family Voice voter guides (Florida): https://floridafamilyvoice.orgFlorida voters: the registration deadline is October 5Connect with Dorothy Kraft: Email: dkraft@nfab.usInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dorothykraft.usaNational Faith Advisory Board: https://nationalfaithadvisoryboard.orgFor Liberty and Justice: https://www.forlibertyandjustice.usConnect with ACBW: Association of Christian Business Women: https://acbw.orgListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1892599485All episodes: https://kingdomleadhership.buzzsprout.comIf this episode stirred something in you, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

    What is Unseen Becomes What Is Seen?

    Please Message Us - We Want to Hear from You! What if the thing actually shaping your business right now isn't your strategy, your offer, or even your funding, but something nobody, including you, can see? In this episode of Kingdom LeadHERship, Stacy Jo steps back from ACBW's Kingdom LeadHERship Virtual Summit, ten speakers and two full days of teaching, and pulls out the one thread she found running underneath every single session. Across the two days, Stacy Jo heard from Molly Gomez, Rachel Wortman, Natalie B. Green, Krystal Parker, Katrina Fitten, Nicole Vallance, April Farris, Samantha Williams, Rae Taggett, and Gena McCown, on subjects ranging from storytelling and funding to prayer and artificial intelligence. Ten completely different women, teaching on ten completely different topics, and not one of them knew what any of the others were about to say. But by the end of day two, Stacy Jo could not unsee it: every single speaker had landed, from a totally different angle, on the exact same discovery. In this episode, she walks you through exactly how that discovery unfolded, session by session, and lands on one simple truth: what is happening in the part of your life nobody sees is exactly what eventually shows up in the part everybody sees. This episode will change how you think about the story you tell yourself, the decisions you make in private, and the small habits nobody claps for. If this conversation resonates, the full summit replay, all ten sessions in complete detail, is available now for $39 at kingdomleadhership.com. It is some of the richest, most practical teaching ACBW has ever put together, and this episode only scratches the surface. Topics covered: ●       Why ten unrelated summit sessions kept describing the same hidden discovery ●       The stories behind Rachel Wortman's internal ceiling and Natalie B. Green's baggage behind the brand ●       What Katrina Fitten's client panic over a $130,000 windfall reveals about money mindset ●       Samantha Williams on Caleb, and the difference between confronting something and just coexisting with it ●       Why the small, unglamorous one percent is what actually lasts ●       How to identify the one unseen thing in your own life or business right now Scripture referenced in this episode: ●       Proverbs 4:23 (ASV) — “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Scripture is shared conversationally in this episode. We encourage you to look up the passage in your own Bible for the full context.)

    The Real Reason You’re Afraid of AI (And How to Move Past It) with Nicole Rain

    Please Message Us - We Want to Hear from You! The culture tells us AI is here to replace us. Christian circles carry a second layer of tension on top of that, a quiet suspicion that these tools should be feared or kept at a distance. Scripture tells a different story. God holds dominion over our lives and our callings, and the tools of our age can serve under that authority, never above it. In this episode, host Stacy Jo talks with Nicole Rain, co-founder of Rain Circle AI, about where AI belongs in a Christian business owner's life, what must always stay reserved for the leading of the Holy Spirit, and why this may be the most empowering moment in history for a solo entrepreneur or small team to grow her revenue and her Kingdom impact.
