One of the greatest markers of our adult life is when we fully come to realize that we were designed with intention, created for a specific purpose and mission. Nothing God has ever done has been an accident, and He knows every part of you, even the talents you might not have realized yet. Proverbs 19:21 says, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” No matter where life takes you, you can trust that He knows where you’re headed, and is guiding you through every step.
Our guests this week each have beautiful abilities that they consider to be gifts from God. Aaron Tippin is a country music star who enjoyed great popularity in the 90’s, but before that, grew up on a family farm, where he learned to fly planes with his father and absolutely fell in love with being in the air, and being “closer to heaven” as he likes to describe. Eleven year-old Jude Kofie, who experiences autism, surprised his family—especially his father Isaiah, who worried about his future—when he walked in to hear Jude playing their portable keyboard like a seasoned pianist, though he’d never played before in his life. When piano tuner Bill Magnusson heard their story on the news, he was compelled to help this family and gave a gift that would allow Jude to realize his potential in a bigger way, and a beautiful relationship was born that has been a gift to them all.

When we think about our problems, it can sometimes look like things are only happening to us. Our struggles may appear one-sided or like God has left us to deal with it on our own. But when we draw near to God, He plants people in our lives to show us that our pain is not meant to be carried alone. And when He does that, we have a comforting reminder of a God who will never leave us nor forsake us.
Pastors Jimmy and Irene Rollins have a passion to reach all people for God, no matter their background, ethnicity, or life circumstances. As they dreamed of building a diverse congregation, the stress of being leaders of a growing church began to negatively impact them both, and Irene took to coping with alcohol. They share how together, they faced her addiction and the problems that made it come to a head. Author of Confronting Christianity Rebecca McLaughlin shares why it’s important to encourage young people to dig into the Word of God. She believes that reading the Bible with her children and helping them work through their questions helps them make sense of their faith, and also teaches them a way to live that is steeped in compassion for others.

Interview Quotes:
“We felt like God put on our hearts that if we were going to reach a diverse city, we were going to have to have a diverse church.” - Jimmy Rollins
“We got accountability that helped us get to the space of needing to get healthy and to get help. And then as we began to get healthy, we stopped doing the dance of shaming one another and judging one another. And we started to embrace the fact that we both needed grace.” - Jimmy Rollins
“We began to look at addiction as not something that I was doing to Jimmy, but rather something I was doing to really medicate pain. And as we began to develop new ways of communication, new ways of embracing pain and grief. We began to approach healing and we did it together.” - Irene Rollins
“Connecting with God on a daily basis, a moment-by-moment basis, was a lifeline for me in the beginning of my recovery. And as a leader, as a mother, as a child of God, it is my lifeline still. It was a non-negotiable and still is in my recovery journey.” - Irene Rollins
“Divorce has no color. Alcoholism has no socioeconomic temperature. Grief is colorblind. And what we've discovered is that as we begin to stay transparent with our story, as we begin to steward the path of where we are to this greater purpose, pain has been the unifier.” - Jimmy Rollins
“It seemed like Jesus provided the most satisfying way of looking at the world, the most satisfying way of understanding my relationships, my intellectual life, my personal life. And I just never looked back from that point.” - Rebecca McLaughlin
“Every seeming roadblock to faith in Jesus, when you look more closely, becomes a signpost.” - Rebecca McLaughlin

S 3, E 11: Let's welcome 2023 with affirmations that match our expectations. We can expect a certain assurance because of God's love:💜 God's love is with us, even when we are going through a challenging or difficult time. Psalm 9:9
💜 God's love is eternal, it lasts forever. Isaiah 54:10
💜 God's love is gentle, we can find rest in Him. Matthew 11:28-29
💜 We cannot be separated from God's love. Romans 8:38-39
As we affirm 2023, we can embrace confidence - not in our own abilities, but in God's abilities first, thanking Him for empowering us to do all things through Christ, where we are strengthened.
2023 will be powerful, it will be clarifying, it will be elevated and you - and everything concerning you - will be in God's hands.

S 3, E 10: What is the anointing? It simply means FAVOR. Biblically, to be anointed is something of great significance, as it symbolizes the Lord’s favor. What God has put in motion with you cannot be undone. Any door the Lord has opened MUST remain open according to His will for you.
This is why you can rest. This is why you can rejoice! What God has for you is outside of man’s construct, and it’s because you are favored...you are ANOINTED!
There is an overflow for you from Heaven, and it's time to receive it. If you're ready, say YES!

There is something called the nice girl syndrome which is an idea and expectation that you have to be nice to be loved and accepted. It leaves the mark of not feeling good enough. Being pleasant, agreeable, and accommodating doesn’t mean that you have to make yourself less than someone else.
“Becoming and remaining a nice girl, is a kind of malnutrition to the soul of a woman.” -Asia Suler
What happens to you when you’re always put last on your own list or lucky if you even make your own list? In this episode Lisa is channeling all of her badass energy into exposing how you can be nice and prioritize yourself and communicate your needs. You don’t have to be afraid of speaking up and worried about being rejected or thought less than by the right people in your life.
Do a gut check with yourself on which one of these myths hit the hardest and come up with a plan to restore your power and balance where there is none.

Ep. 27: When you have believe in yourself, it makes God smile. He blesses those who believe in Him. In the Bible, it says that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Sometimes, to believe what God says about us is challenging, because for years, we’ve believed thoughts and ideas that were incorrect. But God has already declared that we are royalty!
.
Consider that you need faith to even believe that truth about what God says about you---that you are of a royal priesthood, that your value is greater than rubies and gold. That’s ok. God wants you to come to Him, believing that He can even help you in your areas of unbelief. He can help bridge the gap between what you’ve heard and what He’s said.
.
When you choose to have faith, know that you aren’t doing it alone – God is with you, in you, beside you, helping you to make the connection. He wants to do great things in your life, and requires one thing from you…your faith in Him. Self-love says “I’m going to believe the best about ME.” And the best ideas about you come from one source – God.
.
Foundational Scripture for Today: "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." (1 Peter 2:9)Support the show

S2, Ep. 6: Did you know that your purpose is not something you "find" but something you are shown? Often, you'll hear people saying that they have to find their purpose. However, God already crafted your purpose--He assigned it to you when He created you and literally "set you apart" for it before you were born. Just rest in this knowledge today, that what you are to accomplish, God has already mapped out for you. Your success in life will be largely based on your belief in this, otherwise known as you faith.
.
Since faith is belief followed by action, the question is: what actions can you take to go deep into God's purpose for you? When you invest in your purpose, you are committing to your belief in what God has already said is possible for you. Investing in your purpose looks like spending time with God to study His word, thereby gaining the wisdom to apply to your life, including your purpose. Practice making investments by seeking God. This literally means reading the Bible, praying about what God is showing you, watching for God's revelation of His word in your life and implementing what He's guiding you to do..
God appreciates when we seek His wisdom and draw close to Him. James 4:8 says to "Come near to God and he will come near to you. " It is only in God's revelation of His purpose to you that you really can go deep into God's purpose for your life. As you walk with God and do more and more of what pleases Him, you will see your purpose more clearly..
Invest in your purpose by establishing your belief in God, your trust in God, your value of yourself, your dedication to fulfilling your purpose, and your love of life. Decide to relax, breathe and smile--God’s got you, and if He’s got you, EVERYTHING is going to work out in your favor..
Foundational Scripture for Today: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28Support the show

Wouldn’t it be great if life was just a bed of roses, with one victory followed by another achievement followed by another success? Unfortunately, we all know that life has no shortage of challenges.

This episode will empower you to embrace seasons of preparation — even when they are painful — so you can fulfill every purpose God has for your life.
