What a blessing to have my dear friend, Satise Roddy on the show! Satise is full of wisdom and it is so evident that she is intentional about spending time with Jesus. This will be an episode you'll return to as you continue to grow in your faith.
One of the greatest takeaways is this comment - "I pray for boldness, so when He gives me the boldness I don't shrink back. Why would I pray for something then not walk in it? I also pray to be bold and humble at the same time."
Pastor Satise Roddy is a wife, mom and grand mom. She is an Ordained
Minister, Author, Speaker, Mentor, and Police Chaplain.
Satise serves as Lead Pastor at Oasis Church in Minnetonka. She is the founder
of Satise Roddy Ministries, a speaking ministry. She also founded Destined
Women, a women’s fellowship.
She is passionate about preaching the word of God and desires to see
others walk in the freedom God has provided through His Son Jesus Christ. By
God’s grace Satise has been provided a platform to minister as a keynote speaker,
featured speaker and workshop presenter at conferences, retreats, private and
public events.

This week's episode is Part Two of my conversation with Melissa Mashburn. There is so much sage wisdom in this episode! One of the biggest takeaways that is also big in my heart is, "Rise up, warrior woman of God. We have work to do, and we need you!"
Hallelujah!
Melissa helps female leaders find their community, own their leadership, and take the next step. She's currently working on releasing a brand new book for women in the ministry (a "what to expect when you're a woman and you go into ministry" book) in 2022. She's also co-authored a leadership devotional book for women and leads the private Facebook community called Ministry Chick that serves over 2700 from all over the world. She's a ministry leader, speaker, author, life-breakthrough coach, and ministry consultant. Still, her real heart is to be a champion and encourager for women who feel stuck and want to rise up and do what God is calling them to do but don't even know where to begin. She has served at four different churches of various sizes over the last 20 years, giving her a wide range of experience. She currently serves at Southeast Christian Church which ministers to over 40,000 people weekly. She's been married to her best friend Matt for over 28 years.

Ladies, this week's episode is all about overcoming adversity. I brought my friend, Ilona Parunakova, to the show to share her story. If anyone has a reason to adopt a victim mindset, it is Ilona. Yet, she refused the accept the limiting beliefs of others for her life and instead chose to partner with God and live her life with purpose.
What a story! You, too, can bounce back from adversity! This episode is so empowering!
Ilona Parunakova is a 10x Best-Selling Author, Diversity and Inclusion Expert/Speaker. President and CEO of IP Resilience Global, Publisher of IP Resilience Global Magazine.
Ilona is a direct descendant of Armenian Genocide survivors during WWI and survived the wartime in the Republic of Georgia right after the collapse of the USSR. Over the years Ilona has succeeded in turning her disparities from war, losses, struggles to fit in, every “No” in her life, into her superpowers.
Ilona rose above all odds to become a candidate for Doctorate Degree in Family Christian Counseling and her Ph.D. in Christian Philosophy. As a Master Coach, she empowers people to find their voice even in the darkest times of their life and imparts courage and self-confidence so that they, too, can experience liberty in all of its best.
She is an international TEDx speaker and is featured in Fox, NBC, CBC, Influencive, Powerhouse, and Forbes Magazines.
Ilona introduces herself unapologetically as God’s Masterpiece and puts God as the CEO of her life.

In this week's episode, we're looking at a different side of the fear of failure. Often this conversation centers around being fearful of stepping out to embark upon something new, but this week we will talk about failed attempts and fearing to try again.
Unless the Lord has closed a door or ended a season, there is always a reason to try again! One of the main points I hope you walk away with this week is that in Christ, we don't fail in totality, we fail forward. If we allow it to be, failed attempts can be a great teacher!
Looking forward to connecting with you again this week!

You and I were never created to live airbrushed lives. What a relief! Yet, many of us struggle to overcome perfectionism in many areas of our lives.
But there's great news! You can win the battle with perfectionism!
There will always be something we lack, need to grow in, or have further developed within us because we are not perfect people. None of those things disqualify you because perfection isn't the goal; progress is!
