Ripple-Effect Faith with Twyla Franz

Twyla Franz

Welcome to a becoming-space. A place for imperfectly ready people to say yes to more Jesus and actual friendships with their neighbors. A place for introverts and workaholics and people-pleasers and self-doubters. Welcome, welcome, if that's you! I get that pull you feel to go deeper. Find purpose, meaningful conversations, community. I also get how you think you're not ready. Want to know a secret?! None of us are, least of all me! Also true is that we BECOME ready after, not before, we say yes. Yes to baby steps that deepen relationships and let God spill out everywhere. Yes to becoming more curious, more approachable, more moldable in the tender hands of Jesus. It's a process. A beautiful, becoming process where we look less and less like we used to and more and more like Him.

    259 - How to Deflate Your Pride: Five Lies That Keep You From Being Your Best

    We can be incredibly artful about disguising our pride–me included. I'd rather you see diligence and dependability, and not dig deep enough to trace them back to pride. I would prefer to convince you that I'm always capable and composed, so you don't question why I reach for this consistency. I want you to see me as selfless and sweet-natured–never stubborn or snappy or overly sensitive–and assume pride never drives me to curate your impression of me. But the truth is, pride can slide into our best of intentions, subvert our peace, and sandwich itself between us and other people. It hides inside of lies that sound incredibly convincing . . .   Links mentioned: Get a FREE, 5-Day Email Course: Turn Your Loneliness into Ripple-Effect Faith in 5 Days.

    256 - How to Dethrone Your Inner Control Freak the Easy Way

    I've got a thing with control. I like to paint it as a virtue because self-control sounds less harsh. Like less of a problem. But it actually isn't.  Your need to feel in control might come out in different ways than mine. Perhaps you vocalize more than internalize. Perhaps you extend your controlling efforts externally rather than internally. But it's the same thieving trio–fear, pride, and shame–eroding your peace, dimming your light, and keeping you in a rut.   Links mentioned: Get a FREE, 5-Day Email Course: Turn Your Loneliness into Ripple-Effect Faith in 5 Days Read the written version of this episode HERE.

    Five Life Hacks That Will Make Your Perfectionism Valuable

    Maybe there's a similarly pesky voice of perfectionism following you around inside your head, telling you that you should be able to get incrementally better. Every. Single. Day. It's relentless. You're worn out from all your undue try-hard.  But also, maybe you carry a bit of shame around with your perfectionism.  You're told you worry too much. Focus on the wrong things. Care too much about your work. Can we talk about you? How you can be a perfectionist and have peace of mind? How you don't have to turn off your desire to do your best? How your perfectionism can be an asset, not just to you or a supervisor, but for God's kingdom?   Links mentioned: Get a FREE, 5-Day Email Course: Turn Your Loneliness into Ripple-Effect Faith in 5 Days Read the written version of this episode HERE.

    It's Time to Oust Your Self-Doubt and Reclaim the Truth About You

    Self-doubt surfaces quickly when it's thinly veiled behind borrowed confidence and temperamental self-esteem. Maybe this is your story. To others, you appear secure, but you feel deeply insufficient inside. You can take the lead, finish the work, maintain a high standard of excellence, and pass as having it together. But you can't outrun the voice that whispers,  If only they knew how little you know, how long you've been in this role, or how lost you feel . . . If only they knew how un-brave and undeserving you actually are . . . If only they knew how meticulously you mask the peculiar aspects of your personality . . . If only they knew the 14-year-old inferiority you never outgrew . . . I've given ground to similar, self-sabataging thoughts. Spun in circles fueled by incessant overthinking. Second-guessed my way to the safest way forward. I admit I've dismissed myself before anyone else could. Pulled away from friendships, convinced I'm more burden than blessing. Deflected praise because I disbelieve my own worth.  If you are nodding your head to any of this, there is hope. I wish we could sit down together and remind each other of what's irrevocably true of us. But maybe the reason we don't believe it yet is because we've skipped a step, so let's start there.   Links mentioned: Get a FREE, 5-Day Email Course: Turn Your Loneliness into Ripple-Effect Faith in 5 Days Read the written version of this episode HERE.
