    223. 1 Conversation That Can Change Your Life

    One conversation can change everything. I’ve lived it, and in this episode I’m pulling back the curtain on two conversations that shifted the entire trajectory of my life. So many of us are living isolated, trying to figure everything out on our own. Technology and AI can help, but something holy happens when two people made in the image of God sit across from each other and talk. I love how Ryan Lestrange puts it: “people are God’s transportation system.” The first conversation happened in my early twenties. I had been carrying a spirit of rejection for years, and after one especially painful moment, my husband nudged me to go talk to our pastor. In that meeting, my pastor named the thing I had been fighting. That one moment of clarity became the beginning of my healing and my freedom. The second conversation happened in 2012, right after my third baby was born. I sat down to lunch with Graham Cooke, a mentor whose teaching has shaped so much of my life, and I told him the truth. I was living my dream in ministry and motherhood, and I was miserable. His answer stopped me in my tracks: “You’ll get out of it when you learn to love it.” He helped me see that the love of God stays constant in every season, and that we can encounter Him even in our darkest moments. Both of those conversations gave me relief in the moment and tools I still use today. And both started with the courage to be vulnerable and ask for help. This is exactly why I love coaching. I get a front-row seat to these same breakthrough conversations with my clients, and I’m sharing a few of their stories with you too. If you’re ready for your own, I would love to sit down with you for a strategy session. Your next life-changing conversation might be one courageous step away. Ready to book your strategy call?

    221. Forgiveness As A Supernatural Act

    Have you experienced a betrayal in your business? Grab my free Breakthrough Guide HERE   In this episode of Wisdom's Table, we delve into the complex and often challenging topic of forgiveness, particularly from a Christian perspective. I begin by acknowledging the emotional weight that forgiveness carries for many of us, especially those who have experienced deep betrayal, trauma, or tragedy in their lives. I want to assure listeners that I understand the intricacies of this journey, as I have faced my own challenges in learning to forgive. Our discussion is sparked by a recent conversation I had while visiting a freedom center in Athens, Greece, run by the nonprofit ministry A21. This organization focuses on rescuing victims of sex trafficking and helping them rebuild their lives. During our visit, a thought-provoking question arose: Are we really required to forgive those who inflict such pain and suffering? I explore this question, emphasizing that while the Bible commands us to forgive, it does not mean we must excuse the actions of those who have wronged us. I clarify that forgiveness is distinct from trust, excusal, and the removal of consequences. Forgiveness does not imply indifference to the harm done or a restoration of unrestricted access to the offender. Instead, it is a spiritual act that acknowledges the complexities of human relationships and the spiritual battles at play. I discuss the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, highlighting that while we may receive forgiveness from God, we still face the consequences of our actions. Throughout the episode, I outline three key reasons why we must forgive: Agreement with the Enemy: When someone wrongs us, they may be acting in alignment with the enemy's agenda. By forgiving, we can release ourselves from the burden of their actions and recognize the spiritual warfare involved. Lack of Complete Understanding: We often do not know the full story behind someone's actions. Forgiveness allows us to step back from the judgment seat and release ourselves from the role of judge, trusting that God has a justice system in place. Following Jesus' Example: Ultimately, we forgive because Jesus forgives. His ability to forgive even in the face of extreme suffering serves as a model for us. I share a powerful story of a man who, while imprisoned and tortured, found the strength to forgive his captor, illustrating the supernatural nature of true forgiveness. I also reflect on the story of Paul and Barnabas, emphasizing that forgiveness does not mean we must forget or ignore the consequences of someone's actions. Instead, we can forgive while still setting healthy boundaries. The episode concludes with a call to seek a deeper understanding of forgiveness, encouraging listeners to surround themselves with those who have navigated similar struggles and found healing. Join me as we explore the transformative power of forgiveness and how it can lead us closer to the likeness of Christ. Until next time, be blessed.   TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 - Introduction to Forgiveness 00:01:15 - Understanding the Complexity of Forgiveness 00:02:40 - Are We Required to Forgive? 00:03:45 - Forgiveness vs. Trust and Consequences 00:05:52 - Spiritual Laws and Forgiveness 00:07:17 - Reason 1: Agreement with the Enemy 00:09:42 - Personal Story of Struggling to Forgive 00:10:56 - Forgiveness and Boundaries 00:11:18 - Reason 2: Not Knowing the Whole Story 00:13:45 - The Role of Judgment in Forgiveness 00:15:54 - Reason 3: Jesus Forgives 00:17:39 - Supernatural Forgiveness in Action 00:19:26 - The Importance of Receiving from Jesus 00:20:39 - Paul and John Mark: A Story of Forgiveness 00:23:47 - Reconciliation and Growth 00:25:52 - Final Thoughts on Forgiveness 00:29:44 - Conclusion: Imitating Christ in Forgiveness

    219. Do You Need a "Christian" Business? The Intersection of Christianity and Entrepreneurship

    Christian business content is trending everywhere right now, and with that popularity comes a unique pressure. Many Christian business owners carry guilt that their business isn't "Christian enough." Whether that means not having Bible verses on the packaging, or no gospel presentation at checkout. Or maybe it is just a little feeling that you're missing "something." In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I answer a question a woman asked me at a Money Mandate summit in Nashville: does being a Christian in business mean you have to run a Christian business? My answer may surprise you, and I believe it will set you free. I share a lesson from church history about what happened to Christianity when it became popular under Emperor Constantine, and why something being trending doesn't automatically make it godly. I also open up about how my husband and I approach faith in our real estate brokerage, an industry with clear legal boundaries, and the phrase he uses with clients: "We are not a Christian business. We are Christians who run a business." In this episode, you'll learn: Why how you build matters more than what you build as a Christian entrepreneur How God uses your business to build you while you build it What it looks like to let the Holy Spirit lead how much of your faith shows up in your business How to tell the difference between Holy Spirit discernment and fear of sharing your faith The pastoral advice that shaped how we serve every person who walks through our doors What questions to ask before hiring a faith and business coach Whether God has called you to make your business an open ministry or to quietly serve with excellence, kingdom entrepreneurship starts with obedience to what He has asked of you.

    217. The Crippling Effects of False Humility

    You've accused yourself of pride more times than anyone has ever said it to your face. So you shrink. You undercharge. You hold back the post, the price, the pitch, and you call it humility because staying small feels safer than being seen. I lived there for a long time. I dimmed my light and told myself I was guarding my heart. When I finally got free of it, beautiful things started coming. In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I'm naming false humility and the three ways it  cripples Christian entrepreneurs: It underestimates what God put inside of you. It buries the gift He told you to use. It convinces you that serving means becoming smaller. Romans 12:3 calls us to sober judgment. Accurate judgment. Owning your gift while knowing exactly where it came from is real humility, and it's what the parable of the talents asks of every one of us. Here's the part I want you to sit with this week: "Pride takes the credit. Humility takes responsibility."   In other news, we are hosting an event for Christian entrepreneurs and business owners like you in Oklahoma City, OK. This is your chance to get in the room with us, encounter God together, and get filled up for the new year.
