I'm back with another insightful conversation - this time with Rebekah Scott, a wife, mother of four, fashion designer, podcaster, and ranch owner. Rebekah shares brilliantly practical wisdom on achieving work-life balance. I loved her "top down" approach to priorities, putting God first, then spouse, kids, and work. She explains why this order matters, especially for parenting. Rebekah then dives into her life-changing "5 Systems" for managing the whirlwind - including simple but game-changing hacks. Like deciding on dinner by 9am to free up mental bandwidth. Genius! You'll learn specific ways to guard your time, build resilience, and approach life with joy. Rebekah models a Biblical approach that equips us to faithfully engage in every role. I left feeling refreshed and full of hope. Whether you're an entrepreneur, parent, or anyone seeking more harmony - don't miss this conversation! Rebekah inspires us to steward our gifts and cultivate the lives God intends.

Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Brad Brandon, CEO of Across Nigeria. His firsthand account of ministering to persecuted Christians and reaching Muslims in northern Nigeria was truly eye-opening. In our conversation, Brad shares the dangers Christians face under Sharia law and from extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISWA. Yet God is still at work! We discuss the schools Across Nigeria that have been built to serve Muslim communities and build relationships. Brad also tells stories of new converts who lose everything when they turn to Jesus. You'll be inspired by his faith and insight into discipleship that we can apply in our own context. I left with a greater appreciation for religious freedom and a challenge to seek out my own "Nigeria"—the purpose God has called me to.

I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Pastor Cory Rosenke on my podcast about finding purpose and fulfillment through understanding our spiritual identity. Cory shared incredibly insightful perspectives on topics like overcoming destructive habits with faith, the benefits of homeschooling children through a spiritual lens, and what the "soul" means from a Christian viewpoint. I loved Cory's casual, laidback energy as he unpacked concepts in a way that makes you feel like you're just talking with a friend. He has a gift for simplifying complex ideas without watering down their meaning. A few big takeaways: - We often reduce our identity to physical beings, when we have non-physical souls with unique purposes placed in us by God. - Our "soul cravings" for things like security, identity, independence, significance, and innocence can only be fully satisfied through connection with our Creator. - If we don't understand the spiritual side of who we are, we'll always feel dissatisfied no matter how much worldly success we achieve. Cory explains these ideas in such an engaging way using great illustrations and stories. I highly recommend giving this episode a listen if you wrestle with questions about finding meaning and purpose in life. Let me know what intrigues or resonates with you most after tuning in!

I recently had an enlightening chat with trauma and spirituality expert Tina Smith. As someone who has struggled to reconcile my faith with past hurts, I was intrigued to hear her thoughts. Tina shared so many nuggets of wisdom, like how we tend to view mental illness and sin as mutually exclusive. But it's often our unhealed wounds that lead us into behaviors the Bible defines as sinful. Powerful stuff! She also talked about the neuroscience confirming our need for connection to heal. Even introverts like me need community! Lastly, Tina offered guidance for overcoming religious trauma and finding specialists who can help. I'd love to hear your takeaways too.

I recently had an inspiring chat with Wendy Zahorjanski about embracing cultural diversity. As someone who grew up in a small town in Vermont with little exposure to other cultures, Wendy had her perspective expanded when she moved overseas. Initially, she experienced total culture shock - exhausted, unable to communicate effectively, and stripped of her independence. But Endy shares how this challenging experience revealed her pride and self-reliance, forcing her to lean on God and her community. Through it all, Wendy found incredible grace from the Lord. She realized God loves us as we are, even in our weakness, as He works to bring healing and growth. Wend says immersing herself in another culture enriched her faith, helping her distinguish cultural Christianity from actual Biblical truths. I was so encouraged by Wendy's humility and trust in God's patient guidance. She urges us to seek the Lord about opportunities to understand other cultures, even if we never leave our hometowns. When we ask and wait on Him, God can orchestrate divine appointments.

I recently had such an inspiring chat with Dr. Lynn Carey about making a positive change in politics. As someone who's questioned the mainstream narrative her whole life, Dr. Carey shared an eye-opening perspective on what unfolded in 2020. Like many of us, she was disturbed by the lockdowns and mandates being celebrated and enforced. It felt like an attack on basic freedoms. Trying to speak out led to losing connections, feeling isolated and unsure where to turn next. Eventually Dr. Carey found a community discussing election integrity, constitutional rights, and going local to create change. She explains how getting involved with your county government and school boards is vital. Understanding the constitution better equips you to recognize violations happening locally. I love Dr. Carey's focus on taking positive action, even when it feels like an uphill battle. She encourages finding like-minded neighbors and picking manageable ways to make a difference in your community.

Podcast Startup Services: www.faithfullyengaged.comDo you ever feel overwhelmed trying to manage your money from a biblical perspective? I recently had a fascinating chat with financial advisor Darryl Lyons about this very topic. Darryl has advised thousands of clients over 20+ years and offered incredible scripture-based guidance. I learned so much about what it really means to align our finances with our faith.Here are some key takeaways:- It's dangerous to pursue wealth independent of Christ. Scripture warns against arrogance and misplaced hope in money. Staying grounded in humility is key.- We must fully integrate our finances with our faith - they can't be separate. This means praying about all financial decisions and seeking wisdom from God's word.- Start giving faithfully to your local church and/or Christian charities. This act of trust can replace worry and anxiety with joy and purpose.I hope this motivates you to evaluate your own finances biblically!

Dub shares some fascinating insights from his experience as a pastor and author. We discuss why Jesus established the church in the first place, what role it should play in believers' lives, and how Christians today often fail to reflect Christ's love. A few key takeaways: - The church represents God's kingdom on earth and gives us a mission and purpose. Community is essential. - Western churches frequently judge others harshly instead of showing humility and kindness. This hurts our witness. - You can't truly experience church online. In-person fellowship is vital for relationship and accountability. Dub explains all this very clearly and offers practical wisdom. You'll find encouragement to engage more meaningfully with your local church after listening. Let me know what resonated with you most! Curious to hear your thoughts and experiences, too. Blessings!

In this captivating episode, we delve into the significance of Christian engagement in the arts and the transformative impact it can have on society. Join us as we follow the inspiring journey of artist Haleigh DeRocher, exploring the importance of creating art rooted in Christian values and the resilience required to overcome opposition.Throughout history, Christian themes have shaped the world of art, with masterpieces centered around Christianity leaving an indelible mark on culture. However, in today's society, there is often skepticism or suspicion towards the arts among Christians. This reluctance to fully engage with art and culture relinquishes a vital opportunity to influence and inspire others.Haleigh DeRocher, an artist and business owner, shares her personal experience of navigating the challenges of being a Christian artist in a culture dominated by secular ideologies. Initially hesitant to address controversial topics, Haleigh felt compelled to speak up and share her Christian perspective as she observed prevalent leftist ideologies on social media.However, her decision to be open about her beliefs and tackle issues such as abortion led to her facing intense backlash and becoming a target of cancel culture. Despite the initial discomfort and fear, Haleigh discovered that the adversity she encountered only strengthened her resolve to be a bold, conservative Christian artist. Trusting in God and His guidance, she persevered in creating art rooted in truth.Through Haleigh's experiences, we gain a profound understanding of the importance of standing firm in one's convictions. Despite opposition, Christians are called to embrace the cross they bear and make a difference in a dark and lost world. By speaking out and creating art that reflects Christian values, we can influence others and expose them to the transformative power of the Gospel.Haleigh's LinksSweet Sequels: https://sweetsequels.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sweetsequels/Chronicles of Narnia Boxset: https://amzn.to/3JvjetUFaithfully Engaged LinksJoin Newsletter: https://faithfullyengaged.com/engagecultureT-Shirt: https://faithfullyengaged.com/faithfullyengagedmerch/p/unisex-heavy-cotton-teeMug: https://faithfullyengaged.com/faithfullyengagedmerch/p/ceramic-mug-11ozFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/faithfullyengaged/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faithfullyengaged/Twitter: https://twitter.com/faithfulengaged*This description contains affiliate links.
