It’s the 200th episode of the start small BELIEVE BIG. What started as a suggestion because I had a book coming out has turned into a wonderful way to serve the Lord in a new way.
Thank you for being here for this episode or if you’ve been around since the beginning.
In today’s episode of start small BELIEVE BIG, we will learn about Executing the plan of the DETOX.
When faced with the decision to leave an impact for Jesus, three questions lay out our strategy.
-
Have you ever made a plan and God redirects it? Well let’s just say God throws me curveballs a lot.
Thinking we’re staying with a team for a while and not.
Buying a house we think is forever, and move.
A friendship that I thought was life-giving takes a turn for the worse.
I’m not usually one not wanting to step into a new adventure and friendships but…now I see I’ve not been listening to the Lord how I should.
We can outline a plan for the next steps as long as we include Jesus in the planning and realize when He’s redirecting our plan for his glory.
Listen for the God-given directive that gives you direction.
Is your parachute ready?Dream so big only God can fulfill it. Start today. Rely on Jesus.
Hear the call, listen, and go. One day at a time.
Today's episode gives three steps to outlining the plan.

The longer we live with the toxins of unbelief, guilt and shame, the more we create anxiety, self-pity, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. It is hard to let go of these toxins, but if you do, God is ready to fill you with His peace.
Terminating toxins takes time and focus. With our vertical gaze fixed on Jesus, we know we are not alone as we rid ourselves of the toxins. Validating and evaluating our feelings and reactions to our emotions help identify and remove three serious toxins. When we get rid of those, we can have a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Today we will give you quite a few scripture to help you overcome unbelief and guilt/shame.
I want to let you know about the daily devotion I send out Monday-Friday mornings.
Join our amazing community of humans taking a little time each morning to dig into God’s Word.

E-evaluate the toxins of Unbelief and Guilt/Shame
Satan loves it when we have questions or doubts about God, and his hope is that we’ll never find our way back. That Satan would even care to mess with me tells me God has something magnificent in store for my life.
We want to control rather than release power to Jesus. We deny that God can do more and do it better than we ever could. We don’t accept the fact that God has our best interest in mind.
What are you struggling with? The doubt that God can use you? That you can make a difference in the kingdom? Guilt and shame from your past cancels what you can do now?

For the next 5 episodes, I will be digging into two of the most prevalent emotional toxins…Unbelief and Shame…we will walk through the 5 step process to freedom and peace of mind using the DETOX acrostic.
In today’s episode of start small BELIEVE BIG we define the toxin of Unbelief and Guilt/Shame.
I love that many of you have been on this journey called a podcast with me for almost 200 episodes. Yes, I started the podcast with the number 100. Let’s just say don’t listen to everything others suggest!
I began this series of Detoxing from the three top emotional toxins. But I’m taking a little detour. We are going to cover the last two over the next 5 episodes.
There are some exciting things happening and there’s a bit of redirection being tossed about.
I’m in the very beginning stages, but as we head into the 200th episode the Lord is placing some small things on my heart and in my path.
We will dig into that over the next few weeks. So come back for exciting decisions and moves.

Never let the barriers keep you from accepting what God wants to do in and through you.
This week we are outlining a plan to overcome the emotional toxin of Fear.
Start today. Begin to rewrite the plan believing that God promises the other side. When the Lord gives a directive, He gives direction. Trust that He will take you there. Find peace in His intention, even when you don’t know what that is.
Having a spiritual health plan gives us guidance to rely first on Jesus. A list. My favorite thing. Create a list as a reminder to finish the detox with a healthy forward plan of action to follow Jesus.
The Health Plan’s first step is writing three statements that I believe are true about you, and you should and will think about yourself.
-I am braver than I believe.
-I am smarter than I think.
-I am stronger than I seem.
The great I Am will take you to the other side.

Recurring thoughts are a hard habit to break. But mind management helped me see I couldn’t clear all the racing emotions on my own. These examples of self-limiting beliefs that lead to God- restricting actions need to be identified.
What if we could remove the barriers that cause spiritual jet lag by naming the deceptive thoughts and countering them with the truth? I know we can.
Self-limiting beliefs hinder our ability to overcome raging thoughts and hurtful memories. We cannot stop damaging comments from others, but we can choose what builds a home in our mind and heart.
Choosing to replace deceptive thoughts with truth is a commitment. God has called us into His marvelous light. Commit to moving forward. Come out of darkness and into the light.
Listen to hear examples of how to terminate fear!

What does freedom mean to you?
So many times I felt stuck because of the situations I was in. I felt I couldn’t make an impact because I was busy traveling with my hubby’s job. Or he wasn’t around to help out with the kids. Or I was in a new place and didn’t know anyone. So many excuses.
It took me a while to understand God wants to use me wherever I am whenever I'm there.

Since the creation, God has given us work to do. Not to win our salvation. If we could regard our work as an act of worship or service to God, such an attitude would take some of the boredom and drudgery out of it. We could work without complaining or resentment if we would treat our job problems as the cost of discipleship.
If we look at working as a mission field it takes our feelings out and places His power within. Nothing is impossible with God. We cannot accomplish anything if meaning without Him and shouldn’t want to.
Listen to hear the three forgotten statements to increase our ability to fulfill our calling, right now.

Each time I would think about trying something new the litany of self-limiting thoughts stopped me. They stopped me from stepping into places God was clearly calling me.
Calling me into new spaces with new faces would take lots of confidence and courage. I built very strong cases in my mind that tricked me into believing my thoughts were truth.
Listen to today's episode to learn three hope filled questions to lay out a strategy to make an impact in God's Kingdom.
