It doesn’t make sense. Kingdom ways just don’t make any earthly sense most of the time.
We think things should look a certain way. Work out a particular way. Happen this way. But, that’s not how God does things.
It’s just the same when we read 2 Cor 12:9 where Paul talks about ‘delighting in weakness’.
It doesn’t make sense!
Aren’t we supposed to ‘be all we can be’, ‘never show them you’re weak’ and ‘always be happy’? Isn’t that what we’re raised to believe?
Well, thank God that His ways are not our ways, because so much of what we think we are ‘supposed’ to believe, keeps us dependent on our own ability instead of God’s.
In this episode we’ll talk through how to walk out the Truth of Paul’s words - “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me…”
Come and watch & listen and your life will be transformed by this powerful Truth.

“You have cancer” the doctor said to me with a somber look on his face.
I had a biopsy a few days before and I’d been praying through what it would look like if cancer was found. Would I …
- be instantly healed (miraculously)
Or
- be healed with medicine (miraculously)?
(my first question was, “will I lose my hair?” – who is with me?)
During that 8 week medicinal journey I learned SO much about doing life with Jesus. In amongst the pain and exhaustion I learned how to pray at new levels. I saw the goodness of God in completely new ways. My relationships went deeper than they ever had before.
And my love for Jesus became rock solid.
The lessons I learned through that hard time have stayed with me, and shaped my character ever since that day. They have literally made me who I am, with Him.
In this episode you'll discover how Jesus wants to walk through all of life’s circumstances with you, and show You His magnificent plan for your life along the way.

"I lost my job" 😔
My friend looked at me with total despair in his eyes. The thoughts and fears that losing his job had raised in his mind were driving him crazy.
Everyone around him was commiserating and trying to encourage him, but he was really scared.
I looked at him and said, "woohoo, God must have something even better for you then. This is a good day!"
He was shocked.
How could I be so insensitive to him in this horrible situation?
It took a little time, but after we'd sat talking about the reality of Romans 8:28 for a while, his smile began to return to his face.
You see, the TRUTH is that God is ALWAYS doing astounding things behind the scenes in our lives and it's our choice what to focus on.
In this episode you'll discover how to find hope in ANY and EVERY situation you're facing.
Let God show you how to find hope in a time that may look confusing to you right now. His plans are GOOD because He loves you, you love Him and He has a purpose for your life.

I’ve heard it said so many times (and said it myself), “oh, I guess all that’s left to do is to pray”.
It happens to all of us. We face a problem and the first thing we do is try to solve it the way we always have.
• We resolve to work harder
• We think of who we can ask to help us
• We strive to make more money so the situation will be covered
Then, when we’ve exhausted everything we know to do it’s as if the thought occurs to us that the last thing on the list is to pray about it.
Well, what if we flipped the script and prayer became the first thing we do?
What if we went to the One Who has all the answers, and loves us enough to want to walk through the situation with us?!?!
As you listen to or watch today’s episode, I outline 3 practical Truths and steps to take in ANY situation that will draw you close to the One Who knows all, and wants to help prayer be your FIRST step.
As always, Jesus is inviting you on an adventure today. Will you accept?

“I can’t believe they did that to me”
“I’m SO mad at her right now. How dare she say that about me”
“Give me that bag of chips – at least they’ll help me feel better”
Our emotions are real!
And the kicker is that they are God-given.
So, how do we deal with them in the way God created us to?
There are so many beautiful examples in Jesus’ life of how He dealt with feeling…
Betrayed
Bad-mouthed
Lonely
Disappointed
Angry
Overwhelmed
Sad
I’ve been feeling really angry this past week. I flare up at those closest to me and the thoughts in my head aren’t good.
In my frustration I took this to Jesus. He showed me the reality of what is happening, and how to deal with it all.
I’m back to my peaceful place and I’m SO grateful for His love and wisdom.
As you listen to or watch this episode He will do the same for you too.

“I wonder what the New Year will look like?”
It’s a question most of us ask in December when we start looking forward to what’s next.
A New Year is kind of like a 'reset’ for most of us…
A time to stop and take stock of our lives.
A time to dream about the future.
A time to put some steps in place to actually get there.
And most of us know how to do that pretty well. Here’s the invitation though.
In Jer 29:11 God says that He has plans for us too. Whoa, wait a minute.
Whose plans would I prefer to follow? The ones I can think up or the ones God has for me?
What if there’s a way to bring your dreams to the table, and God brings His, and between the two of you, you work out a way forward - together!!!
Now that’s a ‘win-win’ situation right there.
As we step victoriously into 2023, Jesus is inviting you to dream about it WITH Him. Quick, say “yes” :-)

Being able to talk with and hear God is one of the KEYS to a beautifully abundant Christian life.
When we know that God wants to talk with us and our relationship deepens to the point that we KNOW His voice, it's a real game changer.
In literally thousands of coaching moments and conversations over the years, this is the question that is raised often - "how do I know if it's God I'm hearing, or my own thoughts or the enemy?"
So my fellow coach and friend Sabrina and I sat down and recorded 5 short videos with 5 keys to hearing God and being able to 'walk and talk' with Him throughout your day.
As our thank you for being on this journey with us, we'd like to give you this series as our gift.

When we decide to go back to the gym as part of our new Year's resolutions 😉, one of the first things we feel is SORE!
Our muscles are working harder than they're used to and we're all too aware of it.
When we say "yes" to going to the next level in our physical fitness, we know that it's going to take willpower, grit, perseverance and we're going to need to keep ourselves motivated to stay on course.
It's just the same when we say "yes" to the next level with God EXCEPT...
when we accept His invitation, He is the One Who is championing us on!
He knows that we will need encouragement. We'll need His help staying motivated. We'll need to know that He is right here with us as we push through the 'growing pains'.
It makes me smile when I imagine Jesus cheering us on (with a sweatband on his head and in His gym shorts). He's giving us water on our breaks and mopping our brow and telling us "you can do it!"
I encourage you to say "yes" to His invitation the the next level with Him - it's truly worth it.
