We're Going There with Bianca Juarez

Hi friends! As we reach the end of 2021, many of us have had to face something that we didn’t plan for. Things have gone a little bit different than you might have thought, and you've had, what I call, a change of plans. Facing things that we didn't plan for can be jarring and can even rattle our faith. Sometimes we wonder why things aren’t going as planned and even wonder where God is. When we don’t know what is going on, we must hold on to what we know to be true: Though your plan may have changed, your purpose hasn’t. God has a purpose for you. The reason Jesus came to earth was for you. I want you to plant this truth in your heart. Let me know how your plans have changed and where you see God show up in this season. You can tag me @BiancaOlthoff on your posts and also share this podcast with your friends and family. If this show is something you like, leave a rating and review so it can get into more ears around the world. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, friends! 🖤 B Music by: Brad Tsushima, Instagram: @bradtsushima, email: [email protected], Spotify: “R.A.D.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever had a Christmas where things were not as they should've been? God's truth reminds us that no matter the size of our holiday mess, we're not alone. Friends, whatever you do, don't sit in your loneliness. Ask God for the courage to remember that He is with you. And then talk to someone, it'll change everything for you. 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey friends, as we count down to the end of the year, many of us are contemplating this past year and what we are looking forward to next year. On today's show, we get to have a conversation on how to grow in your faith and impact the world around you with author, seminarian, and overall good guy, Zach Windahl. He wrote The Bible Study, and in this episode, I picked his brain on why the practice of reading God's word is important. My hope is that you love Zach as much as I do. Let us know what you learned from this episode by sharing on social media and tagging @BiancaOlthoff and @ZachWindahl. You can find all of his resources by going to The Brand Sunday. Friends, I want you all to know that in this season of gift-giving, you are a gift to me. Your comments, reviews, and emails keep encouraging us and are like wind to our sails. Love you and Merry Christmas, friends! 🖤 B RESOURCES: Zach Windahl Book: Launch With God --- This episode is sponsored by Simply Earth • Have fun making your home toxin-free with Simply Earth's Essential Oil Recipe Box!

We are the salt of the earth. This declares who we are and what our purpose is. We are called to add Christ flavor to whatever environment we are placed in. We are to preserve a Christ like culture in a morally decaying world. And we can cause others to thirst after the God that we have inside of us.

Friends, when I think about the end of the year, I want to ensure that we’re setting ourselves up for a strong year to come. One of the practices I've developed in my life is finding a word or phrase for the year. Today I want to walk you through my process on how I find a word for the following year. There's nothing mystical or magical about this process, it's a guide to help you through not just daily or weekly activities, but to set an intention for the year. This one word will help center you when life gets crazy or you feel you’ve lost your way or your convictions. Three steps to follow are: Pause Think Create a List If you don't have a word for the year yet, I really encourage you to make time and really go through the process. When you get your word, I’d love to know what it is! You can tag me @BiancaOlthoff on your posts or you can share this podcast with your friends and family and do this activity together. As always, I’m honored to create content that I believe will shape and shift your life. If this show is something you like, will you consider rating and reviewing it so it can get into more ears around the 🌏? It would mean the world to me.

What God gives to you, he wants to give through you. God is looking for people He can use. Will you be a cup or will you be a straw? If you're a cup, you just get filled up and that's it. But when you’re a straw God can channel His blessing through you to other people. When you're going through a tough time you still can say: God I don't have much but I'm willing to share. When you do this, God promises three things; first - you will grow spiritually, second - He will use you to meet the needs of other people, and third - you'll bring Him glory. When you give away what you have, God will open the door of blessings in your life in ways you can’t imagine. 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hello friends! Today’s conversation is around pop culture. Why do many Christians want to shy away from this topic? I want to jump in and have a conversation about it. Why? Well call me crazy, but I believe that everything including culture is covered by God's control and love otherwise known as this word sovereignty. The guest on today's show was by far one of my favorite stars from ABC's TV show The Bachelor. Madison Prewett shares how the ancient story of Esther is still relevant today and how some of those parallel lessons she’s adopted in her own life help her navigate her journey, such as: Decide who you want to be before you step into your Big Moments Claim your confidence so you can get out of the comparison game Break free from the labels others put on you As always, I love letting our guests know the impact that they're having. And so it would mean the world to me if you share the love. You can tag her @MadiPrew and @BiancaOlthoff and let us know what you're learning. Also share and leave a positive review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or whatever platform you listen to your podcast. We appreciate you. And can't wait to chat next week.

Friends, I love Thanksgiving! It's my favorite holiday. So today you have a chance to embrace gratitude and it is a way to get through this season with true JOY. But let's get real, who is responsible for your gratitude? It’s not your boss, your spouse, your kids, your pastor, or your friend. YOU are responsible for your gratitude. I’ve learned one definition of thankfulness that I love. It is: WANTING WHAT I HAVE. Thankful people want what they have. Let’s be content with what we have. Contentment is saying “I don't need it because I don't have it.” I have a loving Father who gets me every good thing that I need. I want you to join me and make this commitment this week and you can carry it through ‘till Christmas and onto the New Year: Every day make a list of at least six things for what you're grateful for Then two times during the day you share it with someone that you are thankful for I’m grateful for you, friends. You’ve made my list today and I’m sharing it with you. My hope and my prayer as we go into this holiday season is that you are content with what God has given you. Share this episode on social media and tag me @BiancaOlthoff. I can't wait to chat next week!

Hello friends! Fathers play a role in every child’s life that cannot be filled by others. This role can have a large impact on a child and help shape them into the person they become. On today’s show, we have Stephen Kendrick, writer, producer, and director of popular films like Fireproof, Courageous, War Room, and Overcomer to discuss the recent documentary on fatherhood entitled SHOW ME THE FATHER. This documentary weaves four real-life fathering stories, providing an inspiring and hope-filled reminder of the importance of fathers in families and society. Friends, I know the topic of fatherhood might be hard for some to digest. So thank you for listening. My heart in doing this interview is that even if you don’t have a father present in your life, you might come to know your heavenly Father who loves you, fights for you, and adores you. If you enjoyed the episode, consider sharing it with your friends or leaving a positive review. This helps the podcast get into more ears and hearts around the world. Sending you so much love, friends! Can’t wait to catch you on next week’s episode. 🖤 B RESOURCES: SHOW ME THE FATHER Movie - https://www.showmethefathermovie.com/ SHOW ME THE FATHER/COURAGEOUS LEGACY (Available on Digital and DVD on December 7th) (Church licenses available November 17) --- This episode is sponsored by Simply Earth • Have fun making your home toxin free with Simply Earth’s Essential Oil Recipe Box!

Family, we are GOING THERE today! Please know that this episode is a labor of love and a passion project. I am not against social media. I love social media! I love the power of people being so connected. There is good coming out of social media. But I want to ask you some personal questions: · Do you feel better or worse about your life after your scroll on social media? · Do you feel better or worse about your body after you scroll on social media? · Do you feel emotionally full or spiritually empty? THAT is what I want to discuss social media today! Let’s just pause and evaluate. How IS social media impacting us? The answer is determined by you. Social media can tear you down or lift you up. No matter how much time you are spending on social media everyday, make sure you leave making the apps better than we found them. But its going to begin when we evaluate HOW we interact, HOW we feel afterwards we’re on them, HOW much time we spend on them, and WHAT are we doing to create the experience we want online. Friends, I LOVE being able to have real and relevant conversations with those who are part of this community. It would mean the world to me if you subscribed to the show and shared this episode with your friends. I’ll see you online.

Hey family! I'm popping in this week with a bonus episode. I don't consider myself a "leader", but I've always found myself leading. I wish I would've had a rubric on what leadership entails. I felt that I was battling the voices of my inner saboteur. Have you been there? Have you felt outside of your comfort zone? Have you had imposter syndrome? We all feel inadequate and have had feelings of imposter syndrome at some point. Maybe you've asked yourself, How do I lead when I don't feel like I'm enough? How do I lead when I feel unqualified? You might be a natural born leader or you might have been chosen to lead. As we have this conversation, I hope that you choose the invitation and step into the leadership that you have been called to. Because what do you do when leadership chooses you? You choose to lead!

Hi friends! If you know me, I love to cook. Before there was the Food Network's famed show CHOPPED, my dad taught me how to make a feast with a few random ingredients and a whole lot of love! Food is part of every family in every culture. Today I’m excited to talk to chef and TV personality Aarti Sequeira. She will talk about the powerful relationship of food and the table and friendship and Jesus. But before she became the Food Network Star, we learn about the crazy journey it took to find herself in her small Los Angeles apartment kitchen making recipes for YouTube. Here is a link to Aarti's very first cooking video: Aarti Paarti Ep. 1: Babaganoush! I hope this podcast was bread for your soul and babaghanosh for your hope. Warm, delicious, and savory!

Hi friends! Welcome to our final and last episode of our series on Understanding the Holy Spirit. If you have been here all week, I am so proud of you. Honestly, the stuff we're talking about is deep. There are so many Christians and so many people and so many churches that just won't even touch the topic. And I really believe when we apply these principles to our lives, we can literally grow leaps and bounds. I want to talk about the gifts that we have access to through the Spirit of God. I want to keep it simple and discuss these three categories: Motivational gifts Ministry gifts Manifestation gifts I want you to operate in the gifts of the Spirit. ask God to reveal his gifts to you. Friends, it has been my honor, my privilege, and my gift to be able to talk about a topic that a lot of people don't want to talk about.

Friends, I am so proud of you! You have stuck with this educational week of unpacking and understanding the powers of the Holy Spirit. Thank you for saying yes to yourself and yes to the Holy Spirit having full rein in your life. If you don't know what God's calling is for you, today we’re going to talk about what it means to be in the waiting room. Here's the truth; most of us are in “the waiting”. As in, we're waiting for God to reveal new depth, new gifts and new levels of faith. In life, I know that there's so many of us that are waiting in general. As we learn to sit and wait, we will also know how to: Identify where your waiting room is Learn how to wait What are you waiting for? Do you have faith in the waiting? I want to hear about it. Post it on social media, drop me a DM, or post it in your stories. Tag me @BiancaOlthoff. This series is not gonna be for everyone. But I do believe that it will have a definite impact in the lives of people who want to go deeper in their faith and are in a place of waiting.

Welcome back, friends! I'm so excited about this week and you know what, I know this podcast is not gonna be for everyone. If you are tuning in and listening to this, it's because you want to understand the power that you possess as a person and as a child of God. I believe that by us having these conversations and dialoguing, our lives can change. When we take next steps, even in our faith journey, we can go to depths that we never knew possible and we can experience things in our life that we might have felt impossible. Today I am discussing the three different baptisms that we see in the Bible. They are: Baptism of Salvation Baptism of Water Spiritual Baptism We are here on earth to change the world, to go to the ends of the world, or the end of our street, and tell people about Jesus. And if necessary, use words. I want us to step into position to be prepared to receive the gift that God has for us. How? By taking these three steps: Remove all barriers Request the Holy Spirit Receive Him by faith We are continuing on and I'm encouraging, you DON'T QUIT. You've come too far to quit. And if some of you are already getting baptized, take a picture of your baptism, post it on social media and tag me @BiancaOlthoff so that I can praise with you! If you haven't yet subscribed to the podcast, as always, you are invited to do so and if you like the podcast, leave a positive review.

Hi friends! Welcome to We're Going There! We are going on a seven-day journey through Scripture to discuss The Holy Spirit. We are gonna dive into this topic of the Holy Spirit because I firmly believe that we're in the brink of God doing something really cool and unique on the earth. I know I said it before and I even used, yes friends, the Bible. This is not a word I want to throw around and use lightly but as a teacher, as a preacher, as a communicator of God's word. For me personally, the study of the Holy Spirit and receiving to get to this Spirit has radically changed my life. We will build upon the understanding and concepts around The Spirit of God. My hope is that instead of living basic boring, vanilla beige khakis, spiritual lives, we can live with a sense of upgrade of our faith.

Hey family!! Welcome back to another episode of We’re Going There! Two years ago when we started The Father House OC, I knew I wanted a coach. I’ve never been a pastor or considered myself a leader. I just filled gaps and stepped into places that needed help. I knew of Pastor Craig Groeschel, listened to every podcast, read his books, and enjoyed how he led his life. I’m honored for the opportunity of being a guest on his podcast and having his guidance in this season. On today’s episode the tables turn and I am going to be interviewed by Pastor Craig Groeschel. We will unpack how to: Be confident even when you think you're not the right person for the job Be a reluctant leader Write your own story or someone else will Have conviction, know your weaknesses, and have inner faith and hope Friends, I’m grateful for you being on this journey with me and I hope you walked away with some practical points and leadership handles.

Happy summer, my podcast friends! This season is chock-full of amazing guests, solo episodes, and timely truths to keep us always going THERE. Let’s start this season with a touchy topic: our bodies. With the northern hemisphere donning sun dresses, sleeveless tops, and skimpy bathing suits, this is the PERFECT time to talk about issues plaguing our society. And for the men listening to this podcast, don’t act like you are exempt. If research is true, roughly 75% of men wrestle with body shame or body dysmorphia. So listen up, friends: It's high time we start talking about what we don’t like to talk about. Today on the show, I’m talking with Jess Connolly, writer, dreamer, barre instructor, and author of Breaking Free from Body Shame. Friends, I believe that we’ve all struggled with everything from: Body image Overeating Dieting Emotional eating Biblical view on eating My hope isn’t that we walk away with a false sense of magically being free from body shame, but that we at the very least, celebrate the beauty created by a Master Artist. If you want more information on Jess and how you can order her book: Breaking Free from Body Shame. You can do so now on amazon or check out the rest of her stuff at jessconnolly.com. I’m also giving away 3 copies of her book. Post on Facebook or Instagram and tag @jessaconnolly and @biancaolthoff to win. It means a lot to my guests and I to hear your feedback online. So tag, post, share, and spread the love. I’m so grateful for you and I can’t wait to see what this summer and this season of the podcast holds! 🖤 B --- This episode is sponsored by • OUAI - When you’re ready to undo some damage, hit the reset button with the OUAI Detox Shampoo.

Hi friends! Welcome back to another bonus episode of We’re Going There! Season 3 kicks off shortly, but I want to pop in and share with you what I’ve been learning as I’m learning it. Recently, I was teaching at a conference where one of the pastors that I’ve admired for years was also teaching. I found myself doubting my abilities and had all sorts of insecurities creeping in. I felt like an IMPOSTER. Fortunately, I had listened to a recent Jasmine Star podcast episode interviewing Kat Cole and I was able to: Quiet my internal saboteur Remind myself that I have a job to do Use the GODfidence inside of me Thank you Jesus for reminding me to stay humble and not fall into humiliation. We have one last bonus episode coming up in June and it’s a special one for me. Thank you for sharing this podcast and leaving so many amazing reviews.

Thanks to serving at an orphanage, I want to share with you some lessons I learned and want to pass on: Compassion matters Faith matters Miracles happen Blue Miracle is based on the incredible true story of Casa Hogar, the Mexican boy's home that entered the world's biggest fishing tournament to save their orphanage.

Welcome to another episode of We’re Going There! Friends, in this season of the podcast we’ve tackled some tough topics and I’m SO honored that you have listened and engaged in the dialogue. Now before you think I’ve gone soft and we are here to sing kumbaya around the campfire, let’s get real, friends. Let’s talk about EMBRACING UNCOMFORTABLE. This is the appropriate week to do it because life in the last 12 months has been so FRIGGIN uncomfortable. From life, to home, to work, to church, and to family, so much has been UNCOMFORTABLE.

Welcome back, friends! This week we are talking about finding hope in hard places. Our guest, Levi Lusko, is a pastor, author, podcaster, and church planter. But one of his most cherished role is that of father. Several years ago, I remember learning about the tragic passing of daughter Lenya and it hit way too close to home. Pastor Levi is going to share some amazing learnings on finding hope in hard places. Hope can only be experienced after grief. Four lessons on grief that I’ve compiled from my book How To Have Your Life Not Suck are: Acknowledge Reality Accept Reactions Avoid Remedying Affirm Reengaging If we know how to grieve well, we will heal well. And faster. In addition to being able to survive pain and loss, I believe we can also know how to deal with those who will walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death… and you can let them know, “you will fear no evil” (Psalm 23:1). Pastor Levi has so many books and amazing resources that you should check out. It would mean the world if you tagged him @levilusko and @biancaolthoff on social media and shared what you learned. As my thank you to you, two lucky winners will get a copy of Through The Eyes of a Lion: Facing Impossible Pain, finding Incredible Power.
