    You Need a Bigger Dream feat. January Donovan

    You Need a Bigger Dream feat. January Donovan

    Psalm 34: “Trust in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart”
    January Donovan is a force of nature and walking proof of what we can accomplish when we undertake God’s invitation to a massive dream. She’s the founder of the highly successful Woman School and Wholeness School, wife, and mom of eight kids. She was so impactful that in the week since we recorded, I’m seeing enormous fruits in my life: I finally got motivated to hire an assistant so I can put out more content regularly, I’m cranking out a huge and exciting project (that’ll be announced in the coming months) with zero self-doubt, AND I’m running my household with more discipline. All that from just one conversation, and I can’t wait to hear the effects of our conversation in your life! Whether you consider yourself a dreamer or a practical person, you’ll gain irreplaceable wisdom from January.
     
    Topics Discussed:
    January’s daily routine as a mom of 8 and CEO
    How God calls us through OUR action
    The #1 qualities single women should look for in a man
    How to form the desires of your heart and find your dream for this season

    3 Spiritual Truths to Help in Depression

    3 Spiritual Truths to Help in Depression

    "Why doesn't God help me in my suffering? Why does he feel farther away right at the time when I need to feel him closest? Why is he rejecting me?"
    These are the questions I found myself asking in 2023 when beset by my son's extended health crisis: I barely slept more than an hour at a time for FIVE MONTHS. I quickly discovered why sleep deprivation has been used as a form of torture! In this difficult season I wrestled with big questions about what God's provision through hardship means. I hope this episode can support and encourage anyone who needs it today.

    When God Opens *Then Closes* A Door

    How do you handle the emotional rollercoaster when God appears to open and then almost immediately shut a door? Mary Clare had this question and I was so glad she asked! In this episode I'll be sharing how I handle the ups and downs, as well as the perfect parenting principle God uses on us, for our good. (Because TBH I need to be parented :) )

I love this podcast!

This is an amazing podcast! Give it a listen to expand your heart and mind about God’s will in your life!

Great Podcast

I think it is easy for people to think, “once I discern my Vocation I am good/ all set” but this podcast offers us a chance to hear how there’s so much more to God’s call in our life than just our Vocation. Each day God offers us choices big and small that we can reflect on and discern to choose Him and His path for us. I really enjoy each episode as I get to hear how God has worked in other people’s lives and how I can better identify Him in my own day to day life. I pray that Stacey can continue to help others grow in faith and hearing Gods call and that you may be blessed by the fruits of this podcast. Amen.
