    17 | The Gift of Giving with Katrina Bowers

    Have you ever given to a non-profit, school or church? Have you ever thought about what it would be like to have a job to ask people people for money? In this season of giving, I'm so excited to introduce you to Katrina Bowers, who shares the perspective of how being the former Senior Director of Development for the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia was such a blessing that allowed her to "connect passions to pocketbooks." She retired earlier this year, and now she's serving others in the same role through coaching. Katrina and I also reminisce on some pretty incredible people that poured into her life along the way, which became an example of true servant leadership that served her well in her career and is the catalyst for the next season of her life.

    16 | Breaking through Limiting Beliefs with Candi Williams

    When you feel like your call in life shifts in a way you didn’t expect, it can be easy for it to get into your head that makes you think, “I can’t do this. I can’t grow this way.” But God always equips us with the call. Belief and behavior are the foundation of faith, and when we lean into that, He can help equip us with the skills we need to succeed. Joining me this week is Candi Williams, Associate Director of Paid Media at Ramsey Solutions. I’m so excited for you all to hear from her because that company helped me so much from when I used to be deep in debt to now debt-free. She’ll share her own financial experiences working with the company, and how its mission has given her the opportunity to remove herself from a place of self-doubt to grow into a position that better serves others. So long as you’re hungry to learn and willing to humble yourself, you can open yourself up to doing things you never thought you could before. Learn more by tuning into this episode!   Episode Highlights: Candi’s relationship with her faith growing up and its big turning point How getting started with Ramey Solutions helped her achieve financial peace Tools aspiring entrepreneurs can integrate into both their faith and business What she feels the Lord has put in her heart for her future How she finds time for herself despite her full-time job and two sons   Connect with Candi: Instagram | @candiwilliams Website | Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University Check out the book "She Works His Way" by Somer Phoebus and Michelle Myers on Amazon!   Thank you so much for listening!

    15 | Rediscovering Our True Path with Dara LaPorta

    “Whether you are at the beginning of your journey in business or five to ten years in, you should be able to pull back on the reins.” Those are the wise words of my next guest, and in a time where society allows this “hustle culture” to stay afloat, these words have never been more relevant. There’s this expectation that we need to have everything figured out almost immediately, to live up to certain expectations brought upon us that we end up losing sight of the Lord’s true mission for us.   I have the pleasure of introducing Dara LaPorta, health & fitness coach, wife, mother, and self-described Jesus lover. After losing herself on the road to motherhood, she realized that something needed to change and returned to her love for fitness, where she found a newly ignited purpose and discipline that has transformed her mind and body which she now uses to help others for His greater glory. The Lord always has a plan for us, but it is when we allow ourselves to slow down and surrender ourselves to him, do we allow those seeds of opportunity to grow. So make sure to join us for this eye-opening conversation!   Episode Highlights: The loss and search for her identity after college Figuring out what her true mission is against what the rest of the world says it should be Walking is an act of faith and surrender to God Identify the few things you can commit to doing consistently for your business What’s in store for her as she enters a new season   Connect with Dara: Instagram | @daralaporta Check out the books “Invitation to Solitude and Silence” by Ruth Haley Barton and “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” by John Mark Comer on Amazon!   Scriptures Mentioned: Hebrews 12 James 1:5   Thank you so much for listening!

    13 | Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity Through Faith with Brock Johnson

    The only thing that’s always certain about life is that nothing is ever certain. Uncertainty is an enemy for many, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. “God works in mysterious ways” is a saying many of us are familiar with during times of difficulty, and for my guest, this could not be any more true.  Brock Johnson is an entrepreneur with a specialty in network marketing that helps small owners achieve organic growth on Instagram. He’ll be sharing with us how his unexpected connection with God led him down a different path and created it into an opportunity to give back to others. Additionally, he’ll share his insights for those unsure of taking that first step into business and the importance of being compassionate to yourself. Don’t forget to tune into this week’s episode! Remember, whatever the hardships and disappointments, God’s plan will always be greater than all of it.   Episode Highlights: How Brock’s childhood sparked his entrepreneurial spirit The beginning of Brock’s faith journey and where it’s led him How he grew a business working alongside his mom His insights on integrating faith with business God’s plan for him: from football player to entrepreneur Rejecting the idea of perfection and confronting fears   Connect with Brock: Instagram | Brock Johnson Website | Instaclubhub    Scriptures Mentioned: Romans 8:28   Thank you so much for listening!

    10 | The Lord’s Timing is Always Perfect with Kelly Nordfelt

    Reaching out is advice we give quite often when we hear about people going through something tough in their lives-- but do we actually do it as often as we should? Today I really wanted to focus on Kelly’s story, a dear friend of mine that found success in Network Marketing which then supported her in providing adequate help for her and her family. In this truly emotional episode, Kelly shares with us what she and her family have been through-- from fighting multi-generational depression, to building that financial support network for her and her family. Be sure to listen into this episode and find out just how Kelly powered through!   Episode Highlights: Kelly’s college years, meeting her husband and starting a family How she felt about and started in network marketing Having Christ at the center of her life, her source of motivation to keep going Kelly’s moments of heavy depression, and getting the help she needed Substance abuse in their family Giving her daughter the help she needed, even if it meant a lot of money Finding solace in her community, raising Suicide Prevention and Awareness   Connect with Kelly Nordfelt: LinkTr.ee | Kelly Nordfelt Facebook | Kelly Nordfelt   Footprints in the Sand One night I dreamed a dream. As I was walking along the beach with my Lord. Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to me and one to my Lord.   After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, There was only one set of footprints.   This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. "Lord, you said once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, There was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."   He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
