This shows up everywhere: parenting, finances, faith, vision, business, and decision-making. The constant question becomes: Who’s supposed to lead right now? Without clarity, leadership turns into competition instead of cooperation. Today, I introduce a Kingdom framework that has been foundational in my own marriage: Unified Purpose. Unique Contributions. Before couples can lead effectively in their uniqueness, they must first be unified. You cannot skip this step. Unification is what creates multiplication — in marriage, family, faith, and impact. This episode focuses entirely on where couples must be unified if they want to stop pulling against each other and start moving forward as one team. This Episode Is for You If: You and your spouse are both strong leaders but keep clashingDecision-making feels like a tug-of-war instead of teamworkYou experience recurring tension around money, parenting, or visionYou feel called to build something meaningful together — but don’t know howYou want a Kingdom framework, not worldly roles or control dynamicsYou’re ready to lead with alignment, honor, and shared authority KEY TAKEAWAYS Power Struggles Happen When Purpose Isn’t Clear Most couples aren’t fighting because they’re broken — they’re fighting because they’re driven. God-given ambition without shared purpose creates friction. Alignment removes competition. If You Don’t Understand Purpose, You’ll Misuse What You’re Building Marriage was not designed merely for companionship or convenience. It was designed for multiplication, fruitfulness, and legacy. When purpose is misunderstood, relationships become transactional and unstable. Marriage Is God’s Blueprint for Multiplication God blessed man and woman...

    How God Stretches You Before He Increases You

We often ask God for growth, influence, provision, or authority without realizing that stretching always comes first. Stretching exposes what’s rigid, underdeveloped, misaligned, or operating from fear instead of faith. Using Isaiah 54 as our framework, I unpack what it actually means to enlarge, stretch, lengthen, and strengthen — not conceptually, but practically — across our thinking, language, faith, identity, and leadership posture. This episode is for leaders who sense they’re on the edge of something new, but feel discomfort, resistance, or uncertainty rising alongside the call. This Episode Is for You If: You’re praying for increase but feel stretched beyond what’s comfortableYou sense God calling you out of the familiar and into new territoryYou feel unsettled where you once felt secureYou’re being invited into bolder conversations, decisions, or asksYou want to grow in authority without burning outYou’re ready to mature spiritually, emotionally, and relationally KEY TAKEAWAYS Healthy Things Grow — Sick Things Don’t Instead of chasing growth, God invites us to focus on health. When the internal environment is healthy — mind, heart, body, and spirit — growth becomes natural. Enlarging Requires Movement To enlarge the place of your tent means leaving what is familiar. Expansion always requires movement — away from comfort, old identities, and former environments. You Can’t Occupy New Territory While Questioning Your Right to Be There Many leaders are called into rooms, roles, and authority but block their own influence through insecurity. Occupying new territory requires internal confidence rooted in calling, not validation. Stretching Is About Willingness Stretching exposes how far we’re truly willing to go — in vulnerability, obedience, thinking, asking, and faith. Stretching isn’t symbolic; it’s deeply personal and often uncomfortable. Your Language Either Creates Flow or Resistance Words are not neutral. What we repeatedly speak becomes agreement. Complaining, rehearsing circumstances, or speaking fear restricts movement. Expansion requires stretched language aligned with...

    Expansion by Elimination: Making Room for Increase in 2026

Not expansion through striving, hustling, or trying to do more — but expansion through making room. This episode is about what that actually looks like. Using Isaiah 54 as our foundation, I unpack what it means to enlarge the tent, stretch the curtains, and strengthen the stakes — not metaphorically, but practically, across our mind, heart, body, and spirit. If you’ve been asking God for increase — more clarity, more impact, more provision, more peace — this conversation will help you see why elimination always comes before multiplication. This Episode Is for You If:You want growth in 2026 but feel stretched, tired, or overwhelmedYour mind feels full but not clearYour heart wants more but feels guarded or hesitantYour calendar is packed but your energy is lowYou sense God calling you into a deeper season of faith and obedienceYou want to make room for what He is doing instead of carrying what no longer belongs KEY TAKEAWAYSExpansion Begins With Space God doesn’t add more into a full container. He first invites us to make room. Whether it’s mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual, increase requires spaciousness. Mental Space Creates Revelation When my mind is crowded with noise, notifications, and constant problem-solving, there is no room to receive divine ideas. White space is where strategy from heaven shows up. Emotional Capacity Determines What You Can Sustain If my heart is full of fear, unforgiveness, or self-protection, it limits how much love, blessing, and responsibility I can hold. Expansion requires an open, available heart. Physical Environment Reflects Internal State Clutter, chaos, and exhaustion are signals. When I clean up my physical world — my body, my calendar, my surroundings — I create space for life and clarity to return. Spiritual Growth Requires Deeper Roots New levels of assignment require new levels of faith. Expansion brings stronger winds — so stakes must be strengthened through identity, prayer, and obedience. Elimination Creates Increase This season isn’t about adding more. It’s about removing what no longer serves the assignment so that greater capacity can be formed. NOTABLE QUOTES“Expansion...

    Understanding the Purpose of Your Kingdom Assignment (Part 2)

Last week, I addressed how vision shrinks when we default to human limitations around perspective, provision, and capacity. Today, I go deeper into two additional limiters that quietly derail alignment: misunderstanding the purpose of what God has entrusted to usallowing unchallenged mindsets and internal programming to dictate what’s possible This episode is for leaders who are planning, visioneering, and building — but sense frustration, resistance, or confusion showing up in places that should feel clear. When we miss the purpose of a season, a relationship, or an assignment, we often misuse it, mismanage it, or try to force outcomes that were never meant to be produced that way. This conversation is about realignment — returning to God’s design, God’s timing, and God’s way of forming fruitfulness from the inside out. This Episode Is for You If: You’re building a life, marriage, or business but feel constant tension or resistanceYou sense God is doing something deeper than what you can currently seeYou feel pressure to force outcomes or accelerate timingYou’ve been frustrated by seasons that feel slow, refining, or unclearYou want to understand God’s purpose for what’s in your hands right nowYou’re ready to align your thinking, language, and leadership with Kingdom truth KEY TAKEAWAYS When We Miss Purpose, We Misuse What God Gave Us If I don’t understand the purpose of something, I will misuse it. This applies to marriage, leadership, parenting, finances, and business. God’s purposes are rarely about comfort, control, or self-preservation — they are about formation, fruitfulness, and partnership with Him. Marriage, Leadership, and Business Are Places of Refinement We often expect relationships and assignments to make us feel good, safe, or validated. In reality, God uses them to refine our character, deepen faithfulness, and produce maturity. When we misunderstand purpose, frustration replaces gratitude. Human Purpose Focuses on Safety — God’s Purpose Focuses on Fruitfulness Human thinking asks, What will this cost me? or What will this get me? God asks, Who will this serve? Who will this heal? Who will this free? Kingdom purpose is never just about us — it’s generational, restorative, and eternal. Opportunity Is...

    Five Subtle Killers of Your Kingdom Vision & Assignment (Part 1)

He revealed five limiters that quietly restrict our ability to see, partner with, and fully step into the assignments He has for us. These aren’t obvious sins or outright disobedience. They’re subtle internal ceilings we place on ourselves — often without realizing it. In this episode, I share what the Lord showed me in prayer, journaling, and dreams, and how He invited me to shift my vantage point — from ground-level thinking to a heavenly perspective. If you’re setting vision and goals for the year ahead and sense there is more available than what you’ve been seeing, this episode will help you recognize what may be limiting your sight, your faith, and your willingness to say yes. This Episode Is for You If:You’ve experienced success, but sense your vision has quietly narrowedYou feel protective of what you’ve built and hesitant to risk or stretchYou’re planning the future based on problems to fix instead of purpose to pursueYou want God’s vision, not just your own upgraded versionYou feel called to something bigger but feel constrained by resources, capacity, or practicalityYou’re ready to see your life, leadership, and assignment from Heaven’s vantage point KEY TAKEAWAYSYour Vision Can Become Short-Sighted Without You Realizing It I realized how easily vision shrinks when we have more to protect — comfort, stability, reputation, success. We shift from dreaming with God to maintaining what we’ve built. Ground-level vision focuses on problems to fix; heavenly vision reveals purpose to steward. God Invites Us to See from an Elevated Perspective When I asked the Lord to show me what He sees, He radically expanded what I thought was possible. God’s vision is eternal, intergenerational, and far bigger than our personal timelines. He’s not asking us to bless our plans — He’s inviting us to partner with His. Provision Is Not the Gatekeeper — Obedience Is One of the strongest limiters God exposed was how easily we

    Closing the Year with Clarity, Alignment, and Authority

Not surface-level questions. Not reactive questions. But questions that actually expose what’s driving you, where you’ve been operating from fear or self-reliance, and what needs to change before you move forward. This conversation isn’t about hustling harder next year. It’s about upgrading the operating system you’re carrying into the next season. If you’ve ever wondered why things don’t look that different year after year — despite working harder — this episode will help you see why. This Episode Is for You If: You’re ready to close the year with honesty instead of avoidanceYou want clarity before you set goals, not afterYou feel stretched, busy, or reactive and want to regain alignmentYou’re a leader, builder, or parent who wants your life to reflect intention—not chaosYou sense God calling you to slow down, reflect, and recalibrate before moving forward KEY TAKEAWAYS The Quality of Your Life Is Shaped by the Quality of Your Questions Most people plan the next year based on what they don’t want from the last one. That’s reactive. In this episode, we talk about why asking deeper, more challenging questions is what actually creates transformation. Why Reflection Must Come Before Goal Setting If you don’t pause to examine what got you here — your beliefs, habits, fuel sources, and patterns — you’ll keep building the future with the same materials. Growth requires awareness. First Fruits Are More Than Money We unpack what it really means to honor God with the first fruits of your time, energy, attention, and focus — not just finances. Time is one of the most valuable currencies you steward, and how you prioritize it reveals what you truly trust. Systems Create Peace — Chaos Reveals Gaps Where your life feels chaotic, there is usually a lack of structure or system. We talk through real examples — from marriage to leadership to health — and why systems don’t restrict you; they give you back time and clarity. Why Rushing Timing Creates Delay One of the most confronting questions we discuss is where we’ve been forcing outcomes, rushing God’s timing, or choosing short-term relief over long-term assignment. Often, the delay we’re frustrated by isn’t God’s — it’s...

    Law of Increase: Your Greatest Need Reveals your Greatest Opportunity

    ⮕ Free Masterclass: The Breakthrough Experience → https://www.thechristinejewell.com/breakthrough For Bold Leaders Who Know They Need to Move — But Can’t Seem to Take the Leap ⮕ Buy the Book: Drop the Armor →https://www.thechristinejewell.com/drop-the-armor Release the Past, Ignite your Faith + Unlock an Extraordinary Life ⮕ For Coaching + Support: Learn more + Apply Here → https://www.thechristinejewell.com/application-work-with-me ⮕ For Speaking & Interviews: https://www.thechristinejewell.com/ Connect with Christine: Instagram: @thechristinejewell LinkedIn: Christine Jewell YouTube: @christinejewell Facebook: @thechristinejewell Website: https://thechristinejewell.com/ In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most powerful and unchanging principles in the Kingdom — The Law of the Seed. This is a law that has shaped my life, my marriage, my walk with God, and the work I do with leaders every single day. Last week, during our Visioneering Year-End Review with my Executive Roundtable clients, I brought the 10 Spiritual Laws of Increase into our reflection process. As I walked them through these principles, it became so clear how often we pray for breakthroughs in areas where we haven’t planted the corresponding seed. This conversation will challenge you, stretch you, and — if you let it — completely shift the trajectory of your relationships, your finances, your emotional health, and your spiritual walk as you head into the new year. Key TakeawaysThe Law of the Seed Never ChangesJust like gravity, this law operates whether you believe in it or not. What you sow is what you will reap — in your marriage, in your home, in your business, in your internal world. If I’m reaping frustration, disconnection, or scarcity, I have to be honest about the seeds I’ve been planting. I Can’t Pray for Fruit I Haven’t PlantedThis law asks me to look honestly at my desires: Do I want more respect? Then I must sow respect. Do I want deeper intimacy? Then I must sow presence, patience, and vulnerability. Do I want financial increase? Then I must sow generosity — even when it stretches me. Whatever I want more of, I must plant first. God Cares About Motive, Not PerformanceI learned the hard way that giving from a transactional place still produces transactional fruit. The shift happened when I began giving from a pure heart — vertically sourced from my relationship with God, then extended horizontally to my marriage and to others. God Blesses What I Steward, Not What I Wish ForIncrease is a Kingdom mandate — “be fruitful and multiply” wasn’t a suggestion. But God doesn’t multiply what I ignore or fear. He multiplies what I steward. When I began tithing during a season of financial strain, everything shifted. I sowed the very thing I needed — and God covered us in ways that made no earthly sense. I Can’t Become a Kingdom Power Couple on Worldly SeedsFor years I carried a God-given dream of a marriage united in purpose, calling, and mission. I now understand that unity, dominion, and multiplication come from sowing Kingdom seeds — honor, respect, trust, understanding — not criticism, control, or emotional...

In this conversation, I’m walking you through six subtle but deadly pitfalls that pull us out of alignment with God’s plans and drop us straight into the world’s counterfeit systems — systems designed to drain your peace, hijack your purpose, and keep you enslaved to performance, fear, and self-reliance. These came straight out of one of my morning journaling sessions where I asked the Holy Spirit to reveal where I had drifted. And let me tell you… He showed me some things. Now I’m sharing them with you, because I know they are showing up in your life too. If you are ready to discern the difference between God’s blueprint and the world’s inverted system — and finally get back on the path of peace, prosperity, alignment, and assignment — lean in. God has truth for you today. This Episode Is for You If: You’re tired of striving and still feeling spiritually emptyYou know you’ve been operating in your own strength and not God’sYou feel pulled between your calling and your comfortYou’ve been forcing things, pushing timelines, or hustling to “make it happen”You suspect fear is disguising itself as “wisdom” in your decision makingYou’re ready to build your life from presence, not pressureYou want clarity on what God is actually asking of you in this season KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Performance Over Presence When I operate from performance, I step into the world’s slave system — chasing results, striving for love, and measuring my worth by output. But when I prioritize presence — the presence of God — I access wisdom, clarity, peace, and supernatural strategy. Presence is the source of power, not the reward for performing. 2. Ambition Over Assignment Ambition pushes. Assignment carries grace. Ambition forces timelines, chases platforms, and burns you out. Assignment opens doors effortlessly because God already prepared the path. Many times I tried to birth visions prematurely… because I confused desire with timing. When ambition leads, burnout follows. 3. Emotional Manipulation Over Conviction This one is subtle. Operating out of guilt, obligation, or emotional pressure — either doing it to others or letting others do it to you — drains your life force and hijacks your gift. Conviction, however, mobilizes. It carries...
