Do you find yourself praying for the same things over and over? You know, those things or places you just know God called you to, and yet they haven't come to pass. And you're wondering what's taking so long. Yeah, those. Me too, friend. And as my friend Wynne Briscoe reminded me today in a post: God heard you the first time! I can't wait for you to hear this episode and see if it doesn't ring true for you too. Shout out to Wynne Briscoe who is a business mentor and leader extraordinaire! Follow...

Whew what a couple of weeks its been, and I don't know about you, but I've been struggling with some control issues the last few days. Why? Because our human pride likes to take control - or at least we THINK we're the ones in control. What is this so important to us? Because we think being in control gives us security, “freedom,” and allows us to set the expectations of things going “right” (meaning OUR way). But as followers of Christ, and God-centered entrepreneurs, we know this Hustle with H...

Discipline - its usually touted as one of the key things that separates the successful from the unsuccessful. But maybe this is a place you struggle because you're pulled in so many directions, focus is a challenge and you think you're a master multitasker. The good news is you're tuned into this episode because we're talking daily discipline - how to create it, how to live it, and how God uses it to help us bear much fruit that He purposed for us! Reference verses: Psalm 1:2-3 Proverbs 16:9 2 C...

The need for control...it's a big one for most achievers, and let's face it, moms. With the world's noise and distractions trying to break our focus along our Hustle with Heart journey, control in our business gives us some comfort, doesn't it? But as God-centered entrepreneurs, the key to our success is surrender and obedience, and trusting that God is ultimately in control is the only way we have true peace to focus on doing what He directs us to do. How do we distinguish what's in our control...

In early 2019 I launched this podcast and address the topic of I AM in an early episode, along with one later in the year as I was completing my first book, Pursuing Success God's Way: A Practical Guide to Hustle with Heart. This week my 21-day Mind-Body-Business Bootcamp launched (more about that in this episode), and our conversation about who's opinion of us really counts (God's) led me to revisit this with our podcast audience this week! It may be just the topic you needed to revisit for a t...

It's been a turbulent few weeks since the tragic death of George Floyd on May 25, and that's spurred challenging and much needed conversations for all of us - at home, in business, etc. How can we as God-centered entrepreneurs be Jesus' hands and feet to affect the change our world needs? It starts with understanding who we are in Him, how we must show up for our fellow human beings, and clothing ourselves in love. Let's walk through Colossians together as we put on love and strengthen each othe...

I don't know about you, but at the time of this recording (May 20) I had hit my wall with shelter-in-place, and I was fighting our formidable enemy on the battlefield of the mind! The only solution is digging into scripture and seeing all the ways the Word instructs us to think, especially as we honor the gift we have in having the mind of Christ! I hope this brings you solace in these times and helps you to remember we can think on higher things! Reference verses: Philippians 4:8 Colossians 3:2...

In her song, The Breakup Song, @francescamusic give us a battle cry against fear: Fear you don’t own me! And in her new book, Fear is Not the Boss of You, @jenniferallwood does an incredible job calling us out on our allowing fear to stop us from doing the work we’re called to do (with love and biblical truth)! This week I dig into some juice bits of the book’s content - I can’t wait for you to experience it, and realize that “Your fear does not release you from your calling.” Yep, she said that...

When Paul says in Ephesians 5:15-16 that "the days are evil" it's really about using our time wisely for the Lord and not being distracted. But how do we do that with so much distraction in the world, not to mention the issue of losing track of time during our shelter in place circumstances right now? There is a solution: the daily mode of operation! Let's unpack this and how it impacts the system of success in your business! Reference Verses: Psalm 90:1-4 Ecclesiastes 3:1 Ephesians 5:15-16 Got ...

Ever feel like you get excited, make progress, then the "old you" starts pointing out how this work turned out before? The thing is, we're no longer that old us...that person was crucified with Christ and we are a new creation in Him! It's time for us to heed the instructions Jesus gave Lazurus as He raised him from the dead and he emerged from the tomb with his hands and feet bound with burial cloths: "Unbind him, and let him go." Are you ready to leave those grave clothes behind and say so lon...

Welcome to the 4th episode in the HwH Entrepreneur Interview Series! Our guest this week is Sara Keener: Chris-follower, wife, mom, wellness entrepreneur with Arbonne, and she believes our businesses are truly how we get to be God's hands and feet to the world.

In this time when we could lose focus and be overwhelmed with the world's chaos, we may feel like we can barely keep our heads above water in business and life. Not so dissimilar to Peter as he walked toward Jesus on the Sea of Galilee, and lost focus in the storm for a moment, starting to sink. Like Peter, we have Jesus as our focal point and the Word to bring calm in the chaos. And as His ambassadors, we have the opportunity in our businesses to share that calm, His love and light, with the wo...

A recent Instagram post by TobyMac got me thinking about the difference between God's grace and mercy for this episode. It said: "The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us." That's a hard one when we're in the midst of something God led us to (or better yet, is leading us through) for our good and His glory, right? As we face the disruptions to business and live caused by COVID-19, is it possible that God is taking us somewhere that only His grace can sustain us? ...

By the time you hear this, it'll be almost time to get your copy! My goal this first week is to sell $1,000 copies, all proceeds from which will be donated to the Elaine's Gift Foundation - a fund I established to award scholarships to the children of single moms, honoring my mom whom we lost 17 years ago this May. For more information about Ela...

The next few episodes we'll be addressing obstacles we face and overcoming them. Because we all encounter the...

Continuing our conversation on God's purging and pruning of us to product more fruit, we take a different look this week from Psalm1. As we cling to the Vine and let the Word be the foundation of our business, we are able to yield our unique fruit in His time. The fruit He made us to yield. I can't yield yours, and you can't yield mine, but we sure to spend a lot of time wishing our apple tree could produce oranges, don't we? Join us for a great look at what it means to "yield your fruit!" The E...
