Spinning Plates Podcast Salina Johnson

Another moment to breathe and reset. This one we focus on finding our strength in Him and not in our own ability. He is capable. He is strong. He is bigger than anything thrown our way.

"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love," Eph 3:16-17

I feel like this has been a long time coming! When God gave me the idea to do a series on people who have molded me, and I lean on for wisdom and speaking Truth, I knew I needed to have a chat with my sweet friend.


Debbi Hawney is a lover of Jesus, wife to Barry, and mother of two boys and bonus daughters (in law). She is also a proud "Mimi" to her grandchildren. Debbi has worked in ministry in various ways for decades, always with a heart for women falling in love with God's grace and tenderness. Currently, she resides in Nebraska with her family, leaning into God's love and care as he continues to reveal to her what he has in store for this season of life.

God is so good to bring Debbi not only into my life, but into the lives of so many. If you know our Deb, you know her love language is coffee with friends. This chat is us having coffee together. Pull up a seat and join us!

Hi, this one is SUPER fast and hopefully effective for you. I was having a rough day when I recorded and thought "well, this is real life" so I decided to record my live process when I'm overwhelmed. Sometimes it just takes a minute. Enjoy!

Every once in a while, y'all will tell me when there's someone out here in this space that I need to be friends with. It always brings me joy when it's someone I'm so aligned with like today's guest. I think it's safe to say she is my people and, if you're listening to the pod or following me, she's definitely your people, too. Taneshia Yerby is not only an influencer of mine, but of so many following her on Instagram @ceoforwomen.

Taneshia is a devoted wife and mother of two girls, and the founder of the Christian Entrepreneur Organization (CEO) for Women. Taneshia established CEO in 2018 with the goal of supporting aspiring Christian entrepreneurs. Having experienced the challenges of starting her own passion projects, she understands the difficulties new entrepreneurs face. As a result, she launched CEO to provide women with the encouragement and motivation they need to persevere. Since its inception, CEO has sold thousands of products worldwide and has helped countless women turn their business ideas into reality. Taneshia's mission is simple: to empower women to do business with God at the forefront."

If you follow @ceoforwomen on Instagram, you already know how God is using her as an influencer. If you haven't followed her yet, do so right now. You won't regret it.

Enjoy our chat!

Spinning Plates meditates and you're welcome. I am loving doing these again. This one is for the busy person who can't sit still, but feeling like they need to get off the merry-go-round. Anyone feel that way?! Enjoy.

I LOVED this discussion. We are blessed to have Steve Croyle as our worship director at church. He is truly someone who influences me in my walk with the Lord. I love hearing his thoughts and musings on God's character and this episode is not short on either. I knew it would be a great discussion and I was right!


Steve is a learner of Jesus Christ, husband to Andrea, father to Elijah and Elise, and pastor of worship and adult discipleship to the congregation at Mountain View Community Church in Snohomish, WA. He worked as a recording artist in the Christian music industry with the band FFH in the late 90’s before moving from Nashville, TN back to his rural hometown area of Huntingdon, PA, where he worked as director of youth ministries for about 14 years, the latter 12 of which were at Huntingdon Christian and Missionary Alliance. In 2014, he and his family, with their tetherball-loving rat terrier named Maestro, headed west to grow and serve alongside the wonderful community of people at MVCC. Steve is an introverted internal processor and an avid cyclist, enjoying the headspace afforded by many hours alone in the saddle.

We talked so much about introvert vs. extrovert and how we each worship and live life with Jesus in different ways. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Steve's email is steve@mvccweb.org if you want to drop him a line.
