Heather MacFadyen - Wherever You Go

Have you ever found yourself in a season that felt like living in a prison? Maybe you actually have spent time in a prison or in jail.

We’ve all walked through spaces and seasons that feel really difficult. Maybe you are in one right now. Don’t give up. There is grace for what you are walking through right this second.

A lot of times we are walking through hard places and blame God for the circumstances, but He is the one who is with us through them and He heals us in them. No matter where we go or what we face, His presence is with us and we are completely surrounded by Him.

Think about the story of Paul in the Bible, when he was in prison. The walls begin to shake around him, crashing down to create a way for him to escape. But his first response wasn’t to run from the prison. He chose to stay and wait for God to release him – and when God did, He released Paul in peace. When spaces feel like prisons, do we want to try to escape or wait until God releases us in peace?

If you are walking through a hard place, God’s presence and His peace are with you. And if you have made it through a valley, use your story to encourage others on the journey.

In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss:

Spaces that feel like prisons and how our attitude can impact embracing those places
The difference between worrying and bitterness
Hard places in their lives where they’ve had to walk through it with God and allow Him to heal them through it
Feeling God’s presence and finding His peace in the valley

Heather MacFadyen - Tending Your Space

1 Recommendations

Have you heard about George, the thriving fiddle leaf fig Candace has?

Over the years, she has tended to it, nourished it, and cared for it. And just like she has taken care of her fiddle leaf fig, we attend to our space and assignments.

There are things that can distract us or sabotage our space. Like foxes that steal from gardens and impact future fruitfulness, there are things that get in our way and impact our future ability to grow.

What are situations or issues that distract you within your space?

Is there something that feels like it could totally sabotage your assignments?

It might be easy to think of external issues, but often we get in our own way.

The good news is that there is a river of love and unlimited resources of all we need – it comes from God. And when you are in the river, your cup always overflows. Cultivate what matters in life, nourish your assignments, tend to your spaces, and watch them flourish and grow.

In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss:

What tending your space means and how you can tend to it well
Things that can sabotage or distract our own assignments and space (and sometimes, it can be our own selves)
Ways they structure their life to combat things that try to distract and sabotage them
How cultivating your relationship with God and others will support you as you tend your space

Heather MacFadyen - Permission Granted

We are wrapping up season 2 (already!) and this conversation is the perfect way to end our conversation on Finding Purpose.

When you start dating someone, or are thinking about getting married, it’s pretty common to make sure the people closest to you (especially family) give input on whether your partner is a good fit or not. Different cultures have different ways of giving “permission” before two families get connected.

But when it comes to stepping into your purpose, do you need “permission”?

Do you need to wait for things to look good?

For you to feel ready?

Or for your next right step to match what other people approve of?

Jesus went before us and occupied different spaces, which gives us permission to do the same. He is our ultimate permission-giver. We are firmly secure in Christ, and no one’s approval or rejection, no uncomfortable or risky space – nothing can take away that security we have in Him.

Listen in as Heather kicks off this episode with a rapid fire Q+A with Candace, and ask yourself - would you rather reveal your Netflix watch list or your Music playlists?!

Thank you Heather for being part of this season, and offering a wealth of wisdom and encouragement each week!

In this episode, you will hear Candace and Heather discuss:

Needing (or waiting for) permission to take a step into a new space or a next step in life
How God gives us permission to step into our purpose, even if it doesn’t look perfect or we feel ready
Spaces Jesus had to occupy so that we could have permission to occupy our own spaces
