Jennie Allen on the IF:Gathering, saying yes to God, and the truth about seasons.

In this episode we discuss: How to start doing what God is calling you to when you don’t know the master plan Making your days count How to deal with difficult seasons   Favorite quotes: I never felt like I had to have it all together, I would have liked that, but that’s not the story that God has ever given me. The “But God” parts are the best parts of life. We miss the “But God” parts when we are trying to measure up and achieve. We’re looking for self-esteem but we really just need the supernatural power of God. The greatest way to get over ourselves is to think about other people and to fix our eyes on Jesus. How do you that in the greatest form? Take risks. Until you know that God catches you, it’s harder to jump. Once you know that He catches you, you jump more readily and take a higher cliff. I am a mistake maker. It’s what I do. However, God has given me my worth, not that mistake maker place in my soul...I don’t let it become my identity and my worth. If something is from God, you can know that all of will come against it.     In this episode I answer these questions: Do you ever feel extra pressure to not ever feel busy, worried, or unhappy because you write books on how to overcome it? How do you balance living what you teach? Whenever I try to teach on anything, I feel like a hypocrite because I can’t walk it out perfectly. (48:10) How can I help my kids develop their own faith and not just depend on my faith? (51:07) How do you know when it’s the right time to quit your job and go full in on your running your own business. (54:0)     Links to great things we discussed: 1. The Year of Living Happy 2.

Craig Groeschel on real strength, hope in dark seasons, and God’s faithfulness

In this episode we discuss: Where God is in the midst of our pain and trials. That doubt can be part of healthy faith. The steps to take when you’re in a dark season of life. Favorite quotes- I’m hoping to give other people in the faith permission to tell the truth, not to deny the doubts. Even at times, embrace them. But don’t run away from God when you have them run to Him and let Him comfort you in the middle of it. When you wrestle you don’t run away from God. You continue to embrace Him and press into Him. That’s where you build real trust and real faith. Not in the mountaintops - you enjoy God in the mountaintops, but you get to know him in the valleys. There are great people of faith, that we look up to in the Bible, that doubted God. That lamented and cried out to God. That screamed out to God and didn’t understand. Yet they were very close to God. Our faith shouldn’t be in the perfect desired result of God delivering what we want. As we really, really mature, our faith is in Him. If we want his power and He gives us grace it’s because His grace is sufficient and it’s what we need. Ultimately our faith isn’t based on getting what we want from God or in life. Our faith has to be in his character, his goodness, his nature, his grace. Our faith is in him. That he is good and his way is perfect.   Bonus: After the interview join me as I answer your questions about life, faith, and business.   In this episode, I answer these questions- What is your policy on chores in your house with all of those boys? (21:47) Why am I afraid to pray out loud? I live in fear of people asking me to pray. (26:47) How can I improve my Instagram engagement?

  In this episode we discuss: 1. The power of going scared with Imperfect Courage 2. The amazing story of how Noonday Collection was founded 3. Why boundaries in our lives are so needed   Favorite quotes- 1. Often times we think our ending is the end, but that’s when we need to put a comma and we can sit down or stand up. I’m just really thankful in the moment that I stood up. 2. When we show up for one another, the world can change and that’s why Noonday exists because women showed up for one another. 3. You matter.
