    TOUGH SKIN, TENDER HEART: Stand Tall & Wear Your Crown

    2 Timothy 1:7 • 1 Corinthians 16:13–1  Learning to stand strong in the Spirit without losing the softness of your heart.In this powerful episode of The Beautiful Messy Show, Sister Heather invites women to discover what it truly means to stand tall in faith while keeping a tender heart. Through 2 Timothy 1:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:13–14, we explore how God gives us the power to be courageous, the love to remain tender, and the self-control to walk through difficult seasons without allowing them to harden our hearts. Life can be beautiful and messy. We will face disappointment, rejection, challenges, change, and moments that test our faith. But being a strong woman of God doesn't mean becoming cold or closed off. Tough skin doesn't have to mean a hard heart. This episode is a reminder to: 💪 Stand firm when life gets difficult. ❤️ Keep your heart tender even when you've been hurt. 🛡️ Guard your spirit and be mindful of what you're allowing into your heart. 👑 Wear your crown by remembering who you are and Whose you are. 🪽 Keep your wings out and be willing to move when God calls you forward. Sister Heather shares a message for every woman who may feel tired, discouraged, overlooked, or stuck in a difficult season: God has not forgotten you, and He is still shaping you. You don't have to become hard to become strong. You can be strong in your spirit, soft in your heart, courageous in your faith, and confident in your identity in Christ. Welcome to The Beautiful Messy Show, where we Believe. Behold. Become. ❤️ Blessings, Sister Heather xoxo

    Stop Stealing the Pen — Trusting God With Your Story PSALM 139:16-17

    NEW SERIES FOR QUARTER THREE! EPISODE ONE OF STAND TALL AND WEAR YOUR CROWN!  Today we will zoom in on Psalm 139:6-17God is the Author—and yet sometimes we reach over, grab the pen, and say, “I've got this.” We start writing the chapters we think should happen. We decide what our timeline should look like. We write the chapter where the relationship works out exactly the way we wanted. We write the chapter where the career takes off. We write the chapter where motherhood looks perfect. We write the chapter where the dream finally happens. And then, when God writes something different, we wonder why He changed the story. But what if He didn't change the story? What if He is writing a story that is bigger, deeper, and more beautiful than the one we would have written for ourselves? Today we're going to talk about what happens when we trust the Author again. We're going to look at a few ways our chapters can look different when we stop trying to control the pen—and start trusting the One who holds it. So grab your Bible, grab your coffee, settle in wherever you are, and let's get into Week One of Stand Tall and Wear Your Crown. DAY THREE IN THE WORKBOOK!  Because, friend, your story matters. And the Author isn't finished yet.

    HOW DOES GOD REVEAL THE NEXT STEPS FOR YOUR FUTURE?

    Hello Friends!  Welcome to Quarter Two which is Season Two here on the podcast! Every recording represents an episode for the current season!  Today we are in Season Two Episode 9 Hw does God reveal the next steps in for our future? This is a quest we would all like clarity over!  I will share 5 points with you in today's episode.  One way many Christians understand this image is that a lamp in ancient times didn't illuminate miles of road ahead. It gave enough light to see the ground immediately in front of you and perhaps a few steps beyond. The emphasis is often on guidance for the next step rather than a complete preview of the future.  The Holy Spirit helps believers discern their next steps in several ways: Through Scripture The Holy Spirit brings God's Word to mind and helps a person understand and apply it to their situation.  Often the next step becomes clearer by asking, "What course of action best aligns with God's revealed character and commands?" Through Inner Conviction Christians frequently describe the Spirit producing a sense of conviction, prompting them toward what is right or warning them away from what is wrong.  This is usually understood as guidance that remains consistent with Scripture, not something that contradicts it. Through Wisdom Rather Than Detailed Predictions The Spirit often provides wisdom, discernment, patience, courage, or peace for a decision rather than revealing every future outcome.  Many believers find that they recognize God's guidance more clearly in hindsight than in advance. Through Prayer Prayer creates space to seek God's direction, examine motives, and become more attentive to the Spirit's leading.  The answer may come as growing clarity over time rather than an immediate revelation. Through Other People and Circumstances God may use mature believers, wise counsel, opportunities, closed doors, and circumstances to help guide a person.  These are generally weighed alongside Scripture and prayer. "What is the faithful step directly in front of me today?" The image of the lamp suggests that God often gives enough light for obedience in the present, trusting Him with what lies beyond our current view.

    Ways to Stay Connected to the Divine This Summer

    With Pastor Heather, CEO of HB Ministries Welcome to today's episode of The Beautiful Messy Show. Life has a way of changing without warning. One moment everything feels clear, and the next we're navigating unexpected shifts, crunchy timelines, foggy situations, and decisions we never saw coming. In the middle of all the uncertainty, how do we know what to do? How do we discern the right path? How do we stay connected to the voice of God when life feels noisy and unclear? Today, Pastor Heather, CEO of HB Ministries, invites us into a conversation about connecting our inner thoughts and spiritual awareness to the world unfolding around us. We'll explore how to recognize God's leading, trust His direction, and remain anchored to the Divine Spirit through every transition and turning point.Ways to Stay Connected to the Divine This Summer 1. Start each day with stillness. Before reaching for your phone, spend a few moments listening for God's voice through prayer and Scripture. 2. Keep a spiritual journal. Write down what you're sensing, learning, and noticing. Often God's guidance becomes clearer when we reflect on His faithfulness. 3. Take prayer walks. Connect with God while enjoying His creation. Listen more than you speak and allow Him space to minister to your heart. 4. Practice gratitude daily. A thankful heart becomes more aware of God's presence in both ordinary and extraordinary moments. 5. Stay connected to community. Join Bible studies, devotions, and conversations that encourage your faith and keep you spiritually grounded. 6. Learn to pause before reacting. When faced with uncertainty, ask, "Holy Spirit, what are You showing me?" before making decisions. As we journey through this summer together, may we become more aware of God's presence!  Join us over at HEATHERBAXTER.COMhttps://www.heatherbaxter.com/ HB FACE BOOk COMMUNITY https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1B8MhFrVCa/

    Hidden Courage, Divine Timing/ Esther Chapter 4&5

    JOIN ANYTIME:https://www.heatherbaxter.com/ n this episode, we dive into Esther chapters 4 and 5, where everything shifts from fear to bold action. Faced with a crisis that threatens her people, Esther is challenged to step into her purpose—even when it could cost her life. With encouragement from Mordecai, she begins to see that her position isn’t accidental, but part of a bigger plan “for such a time as this.” We talk about what it looks like to wrestle with fear, make courageous decisions, and trust timing we don’t fully understand. Esther doesn’t rush—she pauses, fasts, and prepares before taking action. And when she finally steps forward, it’s not loud or dramatic, but intentional and wise. Chapter 5 shows us that courage doesn’t always mean immediate results. Esther takes a strategic approach, inviting the king and Haman to a banquet instead of blurting everything out. It’s a reminder that bravery and wisdom often go hand in hand, and that waiting can be part of the process too. This conversation explores messy faith, quiet strength, and what it means to show up when it really matters—even if you’re unsure, afraid, or not fully ready.

    Chosen, Processed, Positioned: The Uncomfortable Truth of Esther 2 & 3

    Welcome to today's show!  You may not always like the environment you’re in. You may question the process. You may even grieve parts of your journey. But Esther reminds us of this truth: God can use what He did not cause. He didn’t design broken systems—but He knows how to navigate them. He didn’t create injustice—but He raises people who will confront it at the right time. So if you’re being stretched, refined, and even uncomfortable—don’t rush it. And if you’re facing a “chapter 3” moment—where opposition is rising—don’t fear it. Because preparation and purpose are often happening at the same time. And right on schedule, your voice will matter. https://www.heatherbaxter.com/

    From Mess to Majesty – Lessons from Esther

    In today’s episode of The Beautiful Messy Show, Pastor Heather Baxter shares powerful insights from the life of Esther—reminding us that even in the middle of life’s most uncertain and “disastrous” situations, God is still at work. Esther’s journey from orphan to queen reveals a deeper truth: you are not where you are by accident. God positions us with purpose, even when the path feels messy or unclear. Through seasons of preparation, hidden growth, and courageous obedience, Esther shows us what it looks like to trust God fully. This episode explores how we all face moments that feel overwhelming—our own “King Ahasuerus” situations—but like Esther, we are called to rise with courage and faith. What may look like a setback can become the very platform God uses for breakthrough and impact.   In this episode, you’ll be reminded:  You are positioned for a purpose  Preparation happens in hidden seasons  Courage often requires risk  God can turn your mess into a message Be encouraged—your story isn’t over. Like Esther, you are being called to step into your moment “for such a time as this.”
