Continuing with the series, Kingdom Women and the topic of getting back up when life knocks you down, this week we are joined by Erin May. I was honored to have Erin on the show to share some of her story of overcoming challenging things and know it will spur you on in your faith.

She is such a joy and I know you will want to connect with her on the socials if you aren't already! And be sure to check out her coaching program, it is very inspiring!

Continuing with the series, this week we're reminded that in this world we may feel a little knocked around or even feel knocked down in life, but as Kingdom Women, we get back up!
Proverbs 24:16 tells us that A righteous man may fall seven times but gets back up. As Kingdom Women, we may fall seven times, but we can get back up eight, nine, ten ... time and time again because in Christ we are overcomers!
If you're feeling a little battle-weary in your faith, allow the truths in this week's episode to fan your faith into flame and spur you on! Here's to you, fellow Kingdom Woman! I am believing in and for you!

First up in the new series, Kingdom Women, is Better, not, Bitter. Kingdom Women allow what they're either currently going through or have been through to make them better, not bitter.
Kingdom Women aren't somehow immune from disappointments, hurts, and difficult circumstances. They experience those just like any other woman yet what separates them is how they view those things. Kingdom Women acknowledge what they're going through is hard but they understand how they view something will determine what they see, Kingdom Women make a choice to see through the lens of heaven, not the world or their feelings.
Be encouraged today! And remember, God created you to overcome! You are a victorious woman - already!

Stoked about a new series that is on my heart as we enter 2021! I have titled it Kingdom Woman and this episode is an introduction to the series and serves as a foundation to build upon as we move through future episodes.
In this episode I share some of the topics we will be covering of what a Kingdom Woman is and does and let me just say, I'm not just a little pumped over it!
Psalms 86:11 reads, Teach me Your way, Oh Lord; and I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.
Unite. It is a singleness of the heart and a oneness in the Spirit. A Kingdom Woman breaks any allegiances she may have had with the world's system and fully aligns herself with God - who He is and what He says.
Be inspired today as you listen in!

No one needs to be convinced 2020 has been challenging on every level known to mankind! It's easy to focus on all that hasn't gone well, what frustrated us, all the things that changed, or how we've had to adapt to a new way of living. And that's just naming a few!
A well-known magazine chooses a person of the year that exemplifies specific traits the magazine feels contributed to changing the world. I think if a word would be chosen for the year it would be PIVOT!
In this week's episode, I brought a friend on the show to talk about reclaiming 2020 and stepping into 2021 stronger and better. I don't know about you, but I am determined to not drag myself across the "finish line" of 2020.
Be encouraged and spurred on to reframe how you see 2020 so that you can step into 2021 stronger and better. We are excited to connect with you!

Back in September our pastor gave a message on the importance of not drifting in our faith. Here it is the end of November and I am still marinating in that message! It was that good!
Gosh, the world is so loud nowadays! Someone recently said she didn't know what to believe in things she was reading and hearing because she doesn't know what is factual anymore. Needless to say, opinions, articles, ideas, theories, etc are not in shortage!
It has had me thinking a lot about that message back in September. In this week's episode, I want to share some of my thoughts as I have sat in that message now for two months. The importance of knowing what is true and understanding truth isn't merely a good word, truth is a person - Jesus.
We can be people who are fully anchored in His truth even when the winds of adversity are blowing and the waves are crashing in around us.
Be encouraged, friend! God's got you! I am excited to connect with you today!

I had a chance to sit down with my friend, Beckah Shae recently to talk about freedom in Christ. You may know her as a Christian music artist and you would be correct; her music has been heard in numerous countries and she has been nominated for two Dove Awards.
She has a passionate faith and unapologetically points others to Jesus as our Source for everything. It was a joy to have Beckah on the show and I have no doubt you will be spurred on in your faith through this week's interview. We are excited to connect with you!
Learn more about Beckah at http://beckahshae.com/ and follow her on any social platforms. She is also on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/beckahshaeTV

The other day I was asked if I missed being the Store Manager of a nationally-known women's clothing store. In all honesty, I sometimes miss those days! Since that question was asked, I've been thinking about my time with that company.
It was a struggling store when I was promoted to the Store Manager position but together with my amazing team, we turned the store and within a year it was ranked in the top 100!
Along with God's favor and blessing, there were specific things we did to turn that store. They each centered around helping the women who came through the doors feel valued and seen. The things we utilized as a team in that store can help us make others feel valued and seen in what often feels like a self-absorbed world.
Can't wait to connect with you today!

Comparing ourselves with others has been around for years; it's nothing new. Women have compared themselves to others using what they see in another as a measuring stick. We think what we see others doing is the definition of success and once we achieve what we see, we will finally feel enough.
Sound familiar? Ever fall into that trap? Me, too. Too many times to count, if I were being honest.
Feeling not enough can hinder your ability to reach higher in your faith and God wants to change that! His heart is to set you free from striving on the proverbial hamster wheel!
Let's connect and talk about it!
