On The Job With God Nyla Wiebe

Today I have my friend and former podcasting client on the show, the one and only Amy Wicks! I can't wait for you to meet her as she is a wealth of knowledge about so many things, including how to make it a priority to spend time with God before work (or after work) and what types of spiritual disciplines different personality types need to focus on the most, since they don't come natural for them.



In this episode we chat about:



1. The different terms for spending time with God and why Amy calls it "Office Hours with God"

2. The spiritual discipline to focus on for each Enneagram type, depending on their triad (so either Heart, Head or Gut triad)

3. The contrast between a day spent time with God first thing and one without time with Him (and why it also works for some people to be more consistent doing quiet time in the evening, after work)

4. Advice to prioritize time with God, even when your kids are little or when you are on vacation

5. Why different personality types thrive doing different things with God to spend time with Him

VERY soon we will have some guests on Season 2 of the podcast. Yay! Each guest will be asked the following fun ice breaker questions to kick off our conversation: 




What is your current fav cozy drink to order or make at home?


What is your current fav dessert?


What is something you have now that was once a prayer request?


What Bible verse is encouraging you in the life season you are in right now?





In this short bonus episode, I’ll be sharing my personal answers to the guest ice breaker questions as well as spilling the beans on some episode topics of upcoming guests! (HINT Using the Enneagram to thrive in quiet time with God, practical Sabbath, joy at work etc.)

How we do one thing can be similar to how we do other things in life. I noticed this when I started adding in more Instagram into my life after taking a long break. It felt like I was allowed to eat all foods now, after being on a restricted diet. I didn’t like how it felt! 



In this episode, I share about how borrowing the healthy mindsets around food I had learned through Intuitive Eating was healing when applied to my relationship with social media.



I discuss in this episode:


What made me a little prideful in 2023!


The pros and cons I see of using Instagram


Social media boundaries I’m personally using right now and lovin’!


How food and phones can be thought about in similar ways, in order to enjoy a healthy and balanced relationship with both



***Note: Comparisons between my relationship with food (thanks to Intuitive Eating!) and how I use my phone starts at around 29:11!

Today I’m sharing something I’ve never done publicly (and not often privately either). On this episode, you’ll hear me get into the details of why I suddenly left a job I loved, without having another job lined up and how that had a massive impact on my identity when I couldn’t find work for years.



In this episode you’ll hear:




What profound thing a hairdresser spoke over me during my years of unemployment


A time I let fear make my decisions about work and then deeply regretted it


The reason I had to leave a great job, with no other work in place to transition into


How I set myself up to hear from God of what to do next


Practical ways God has taught me to label myself as He labels me


A powerful concept my husband shared with me, to not be ashamed of having a non typical job and work hours





Bible verses mentioned:

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”



Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.”



Ephesians chapters 1,2,3

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."



Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

Psalm 118:24 "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!"


Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."



Ephesians 6: 5-8  "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free."

Today is a different type of episode. I'm going WAY personal and sharing the things God taught me as a 31 year old that I'm so thankful already knowing as I step into 32. Some of these lessons are just fun and some can totally be helpful for your work life.

1. Extra meaningful Bible verses to me this past year and why

2. Two powerful things that FINALLY helped me have mild periods (GOOD-BYE nasty period cramps! You will NOT be missed)

3. How God is helping me not fear aging anymore

Luke 9:12-17


12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”

13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.”

They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.)

But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
