    For the One Bargaining for Mental Peace

    What tiny trade off’s have you made to get a little peace in your life? Like giving work just ‘a little more time’ so you could get ahead? Or ruminating over that problem for another night, so you could ‘finally figure it out’? But how have those trades been going? Do you feel any more peace? Any more goodness or joy?  This week’s episode is a call to action to honestly assess the trades we’ve made to ‘get peace.’ The little sacrifices we’ve made, the one degree off from obedience moves, the time we’ve siphoned off all because we’ve bought into the lie that striving, anxiety or control could bring us the outcome we want. “Be still, and know that I am God,” Psalm 46:10 NIV – one of the most common scriptures we quote, frame and tattoo because we long for that type of stillness. But what if its biblical backstory added so much umph to this passage that it would blow your mind? What if the context brought your bargains and peace to the forefront to deal with? And there you would see… That God is truly a deliver. Provider. Redeemer. The God of Heaven and Earth. The King over all your children and career. The God over your home and church.  And in that… we find true peace.  - - - If your soul is leaning in to this topic, if you're tired of the anxiety swirl and ready to actually walk in peace, the Wildly Aware cohort is where we do this work together this May Come join me and other AMAZING women of God: ⁠We’ve got less than 12 seats Music: Echosong and Echosphere by Cody Martin.

    For the One Caught in Spiritual Entrapment

    Welcome to our Season Four Opener! I’m so excited to be back, and this episode is for the ones carrying that unknown, yet crazy debilitating, boulder of guilt. Guilt often lives in abyss between your head and your heart, a sludge that covers you from top to bottom. That sludge often isn't conviction. It's condemnation. And there is a big difference between the two. The mind game of guilt one of the enemy's oldest tricks, he creepily watches as you take the bait and quietly crack the door open for worry, anxiety, and the very sins that start to erode your joy and purpose. In this episode, we’re diving into Paul’s words in Romans 7, as he names the exact cycle so many of us live in. Then, we’re finding practical real-life keys to freedom in Romans 8:1 NIV, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Not someday. Not once you get your act together. Now. This is your legal freedom. It’s not you caught… it’s the enemy. And he’s red handed. --- 48 HOUR FOUNDERS SALE on our Online Spiritual Formation Membership / Only $39 a month Join The Academy at our lowest price ever!

    For the One Slowly Being Suffocated

    This is the MUST LISTEN for every leader right now. This is the conversation I wish someone had with me 10+ years ago as a young leader. As a leader who would face criticism and slander. As a woman who would face betrayal and offense. But now, in the last two months the Lord has been cleaning out my heart of the lynchpin keeping me suffocated and paralyzed by these encounters: the pride of self-protection. Self-protection is the backdoor pride that masquerades as humility. The thought that we can caveat our way to approval. The control we seek to manage how everyone thinks about us. But at its core this 'survival' tactic is actually just pride pretending to be humble. It's survival mode on all cylinders, creating a fortress around ourselves to be our own rescuer, our own defender and our own provider. Listen love, this wall of protection will eventually start suffocating you. The stakes are high right now - I feel in my spirit that there is a cleaning house required for this next chapter: and that starts with the state of our own hearts and souls.In this episode I'm sharing my recent journey processing my own pride of self-protection, with a bold charge for us to repent and purify our hearts for this next chapter with the Lord.  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Show on Patreon⁠⁠ [Plus perks that fuel your leadership!]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Guide: A Confident Leader on Fire⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: [4 Paramount Markers of a Defining Conversation with Jesus] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Laura to Speak ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect on Instagram or Facebook @laurakdudek.  Intro/Outro Song Used by Permission: "From Ashes" by PALA Closing Song Used by Permission: “Every Life Matters” by Cody Martin

    For the One Lost in the Not Yet

    ⁠⁠⁠You received the prophetic word. You heard the promise from the Lord. But what do you do when it’s something you’ve never experienced before, something you have no grid for and no history with? This is where many believers quietly wrestle. Between the moment God speaks and the moment God fulfills, there is a space we often don’t know how to navigate. Scripture calls us to faith, but our lived experience offers us no reference point. Welcome to the faith gap.In this episode, we unpack the faith gap: the space between the promise given and the promise delivered. It’s the place where uncertainty can grow, where prophetic words can get put on the shelf, and where courage can slowly drain away. But here's the charge: what we put into that faith gap matters. The thoughts that swirl in our imagination, the beliefs that settle in our heart; these microscopic, hidden spaces can become either a wasteland of discouragement or, as Proverbs says, a wellspring of life. Lean in, leaders. This conversation will ignite your faith, strengthen your endurance, and give you language and tools to stand strong in the place between what God has spoken and what He is about to do. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Show on Patreon⁠⁠ [Plus perks that fuel your leadership!]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Free Guide: A Confident Leader on Fire⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: [4 Paramount Markers of a Defining Conversation with Jesus] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book Laura to Speak ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect on Instagram or Facebook @laurakdudek.  Intro/Outro Song Used by Permission: "From Ashes" by PALAClosing Song Used by Permission: “Every Life Matters” by Cody Martin
