Hey Beloved, all good things come to an end. 

In this episode, I'm sharing why saying goodbye can be hard to do but it's definitely necessary sometimes.

I'm sharing what I'm saying goodbye to in my own life, in this season, including this podcast, and how I came to this conclusion. Hopefully, something I say will help you say goodbye to things that you need to lay down too.

Hey, Beloved, your calling is more than the work you do. God called you for a purpose. That purpose is to know Him in a personal relationship, to become who He called you to be, do the good works He created you to do, and live the abundant life He planned for you.

In this episode, I'm reviewing the six pillars of your God-giving calling based on the acronym the PRIMAL - purpose, relationship, identity, mission, and abundant life. 

I'm also sharing some awesome news I've been waiting to announce to you!

I had the pleasure of designing a  prayer journal. I've been working on with an amazing Christian designer for over four months and it's finally ready!

The Seasons Beauty, Blessings, Purpose, and Lesson Journal is available for preorder on my website and Amazon.com. The release date is November 4, 2021! If you order now you will get your copy early! 

This journal was designed to help you prayerfully lean in and listen to God so you can discern your season, understand what God is calling you to do, and what you should give your time and attention to, and stay in step with the Holy Spirit through every season of life. I share more about the journal in this episode as well.

Hey Beloved, in this episode, Pastor Noell and I chatted about how her journey of following God through the different seasons of her calling one act of obedience at a time led to her becoming an associate pastor at the Rock Church here in San Diego.

By faith and motivated by the desire to obey and follow Christ she left a familiar place that had been a blessing to her for a new and unfamiliar place. If you know God is calling you out of your place of comfort and familiarity into the unknown, then you will want to listen to her testimony.

In addition to Dr. Saundra’s episode, this interview with Pastor Noell will help you navigate the intersection of change.

Hey Beloved, I've been on an extended sabbatical but I'm back after a long season of pausing. Pausing is different from stopping altogether. In this episode, I'm sharing the differences, the power of your pause, and three reasons to pause. Plus what God does when you pause, and how I reconnected with my  "why" during my pause.

I have so much to share and so many nuggets that I believe will bless you!

Hey Beloved, in this episode, I'm sharing my healing journey from trauma and dysfunction to healing my soul.

I've learned from my own experiences how vital healing is to our souls prospering.

3 John 2 says, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."

Your soul can't prosper until your soul heals. You can pretend your O.K., you can be successful in different arenas but unhealed hurts will catch up with you and manifest in different areas of your life.

The trauma that you ignore creates strongholds which then becomes the breeding ground for the enemy to work in your life through dysfunction, toxic relationships, soul ties, and cycles that keep you going in circles instead of moving forward. Heal, sis!

Take the time you need to allow Jesus to heal your heart and your soul so your life can prosper and be what God purposed it should - beautiful, flourishing, and good.

The acronym the Lord gave me for the word HEAL is healthy eternal abundant life. This is the kind of soul prosperity that is the result of healing that only Jesus can do.

Hey Beloved, in this episode I'm sharing God's jealous love for us and how we are to respond to Him jealousy as individual members of His body and corporately as His bride.

As Christians, we've been bought with a price, the precious blood of Jesus Christ. When we put anything or anyone above or before Him, He will come after it with a vengeance until we lay it down and give our affections, loyalty, and love back to Him.

Hey Beloved, in this episode, I'm sharing the reasons and the purpose of detours and how to know if God has led you into a detour or if your detour came about by your own doing.

A self-initiated detour happens when you avoid doing things God's way because you think you know a better way or a faster way.

But these kinds of detours will only delay you from reaching your destiny. However, when you're in a God-ordained detour it's because He knows you're not yet ready for what's on a faster path.

The detours He leads you down are to prepare you for the heavier weight of glory that you will carry when your spiritual strength has come to maturity.

Whether you caused your own detour or God led you into a detour, know that delays are not denials. Don't give up! God by His grace, He will lead you back to the path that leads to His purpose and plan for you if you commit your way to Him.

Hey Beloved,

In this episode, I'm kicking off Vlogtober with an introduction to my upcoming book, by sharing some of the letters from my younger-self to the woman I've become. 

These letters were written about three years ago, at the intersection of midlife just before I turned forty-five. 

At that time I was stuck in an expired season, waiting for change to come. Then one day while sitting on my couch after my mother passed away I had an encounter with my younger self. 

In that moment, she became the mirror I saw my past, my present, and my future through. The voice of my younger self became the catalyst that led to taking the reins and bravely changing the course of my life. 

My hope in sharing my story is that you would have some conversations with your younger self that lead to brave change.

Hey Beloved, in this video I'm sharing biblical teaching on what's in a name and the power of a good name.

A few things that are in a good name are honor, character, reputation, report, and authority.

I am teaching how each of the things makes a good name and what happens to a person when their name is associated with the opposite of any of these good things.

God is going to restore your good name so that when people think of you or hear your name they associate your name with blessings, favor, honor, character, reputation, report, and authority.

Please, rate, subscribe, and share this podcast!

This teaching is meant to take you deeper into the prophetic word I released on YouTube titled, Prophetic Word September 2020 /5781 - God Is Going to Bless Your Name.

Hey Beloved, in the episode I'm sharing four things I found during my furlough reset. Because to be honest, these things were lost someplace deep inside of me. 

I found freedom - from busyness and doing too much.  Freedom to get back to being myself.  Freedom to try new things even if I fail. Freedom to be honest with me. Freedom to slow down. 

I found my focus. I gained clarity and learned to focus on one a few things that really matter to me. I was able to focus on being thankful and grateful instead of complaining and comparing. 

I found within myself the ability to forgive others as well as myself. Through healthy introspection, I was able to let go of old resentments and blaming others and myself for things that no longer matter. 

I found that finishing.  With clarity and a clean slate, I was able to finish the goals I set for myself. But I also learned to let go of people, be done with things, seasons, and be ok with saying goodbye.

Hey Beloved, in this episode, I'm sharing how to overcome the self-defeating mindsets that keep you from being who God called you to be and doing what He created you to do.

Erroneous mindsets become stronghold when you continue to entertain them.

They rise up at different stages in your walk with Christ to hinder you from moving forward in the direction God is calling you.

You overcome self-defeating mindsets by replacing lies with truth and acting on what God says about you.

Hey Beloved in this episode, I'm sharing my story of how one of my God-given dreams came to pass suddenly after more than ten years. It was my dedication to my dreams during the years that my dreams were on hold that helped me be prepared when God said, "now is the time."

When God gives you a vision, it is for an appointed time and purpose.

He often gives dreams in the nigh seasons of life more so than the happy times. 

When God gives you a dream or a vision, the first thing to do is write it down. 

What God's shown you and what He is going to do at the set time is probably bigger than you could think or imagine so often times He sends you into a season of preparation that may be hard to understand.

Don't give up on your dreams when you go through seasons that look like setbacks, detours, and delays, in the end, things will come together just as they should.

Hey, Beloved, in this episode, I'm sharing God's call to do the works He created you to do.
 
Ephesians 2:10 says, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
 
The works God calls you to do has everything to do with how He created you - the gift, talents, and abilities He's given you and your new identity in Christ.
 
However, your calling doesn't unfold according to your plans but according to God's plan and His timing.
 
In God's plan, you are called to do different things in different seasons. But everything you do for God, big or small is part of the good works God created you to do and His plan for you.
 
So, don’t despise small beginnings or the ebbs and flows of life that come as you walk out your calling through the different seasons of your life.

The call of God is more than the work you do. It's an invitation from God to have a relationship with Him, to become the woman He called you to be, to do the works He created you to do and to live a victorious life.

In this episode, I'm sharing how God shapes you into the women He's called you to be by the power of His love, acceptance, and beauty.

In this episode, I'm sharing from the book of Ephesians chapter one what it means to know God as Father. He desires to have an intimate relationship with you.

Your calling from God is more than the works you do. Secularly speaking, a calling is your vocation but Biblically speaking your calling is an invitation from God to, first of all, have a relationship with Him then to be who He called you to be, to do the good works He created you to do and win life.  

You are accepted in the Beloved.  Your approval from God does not come from the works you do but it comes from His grace and love for you.
