    You Love God. So Why Do You Still Feel Stuck? | She’s Made to Flourish Ep. 1

    What does it really mean to flourish as a Christian woman? You can love God, know who you are in Christ, and still find yourself wondering, “Am I missing something?” You are doing your best. You are showing up for your responsibilities. Life may even look fine from the outside. But deep down, you know you were made for more than simply surviving. In the very first episode of the She’s Made to Flourish Podcast, Amanda Ross-Hardin shares the question that led her on a three-year journey with God to understand what it truly means to flourish. Flourishing is not about having a perfect life. It is about growing and developing in a healthy way as the result of a favorable environment. That means we have to look honestly at the environments, practices, relationships, and rhythms shaping our lives. In this episode, we talk about: • The difference between surviving and flourishing• Why knowing your identity in Christ is powerful, but not the end of the work• What the definition of “flourish” teaches us about growth• The environments we are creating around our purpose, health, relationships, and trials• How to identify an area of your life that needs more room to grow• A practical Flourish Practice you can begin this week This podcast is for the Christian woman who loves God but knows there are areas of her life that are still waiting to bloom. You are not behind. You are not broken. And you are not asking for too much. You were made to flourish. ──────────────────── JOIN THE GARDEN ROOMamandarosshardin.com/the-garden-room The Garden Room is our free community for Christian women, featuring monthly Bible study and a weekly podcast worksheet to help you apply the Flourish Practice from each episode. ──────────────────── EXPLORE COACHING WITH AMANDAamandarosshardin.com/coaching ──────────────────── CONNECT WITH AMANDA Website: amandarosshardin.comInstagram: @amandarosshardin ──────────────────── Subscribe to the She’s Made to Flourish Podcast and turn on notifications so you do not miss the next conversation. #ShesMadeToFlourish #ChristianWomen #ChristianPodcast
