#109b - A Business Decision or a Spiritual Decision?
04/22/22 • 41 min
I'm in a season of learning Jesus in a new way.
He's teaching me a part of his identity that I don't think I've fully trusted or even understood, and that's knowing him as the God who Provides for his daughter.
The more I allow him to shape my understanding and heart, the more I recognize his faithful hand in my life.
Provision and riches are not the same thing.
When did making money in my businesses become the primary motivation for my work?
When did I begin to trust in my ability and marketing skill to convert financially more than His ability to provide for my family and me?
I'm sure it has something to do with steeping myself into man's ways and knowledge, but God is tearing it all down in order to replace it with His divine business building, which has very little to do with financial goals, and way more to do with faith in his ability to provide - no matter how he decides to do it.
In this episode, I'm exploring Jesus' parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard as I process the difference between making a business decision or a spiritual decision.
And if you're ready to be challenged the same way I was with how I steward the work of my hands, I invite you to give it a listen.

#108b - He's a God who Sends & Provides
God is teaching me more and more about knowing him as a Provider. This has me divorcing all the ways I know how to bring material gain into my home, and surrendering to trusting him as my true and only source.
In this episode, I'm taking a walk through Luke 9 and 10 exploring how Jesus calls, sends, and provides for those who choose to radically obey him, absolutely shattering the cultural norms his disciples knew, as well as the ones we know today.
At the end I ask for you to email me if any of this speaks to your heart, and you can do that at [email protected].

If you know me, you know I'm all about helping mom leaders figure out the needed rhythms to sustain the work they feel called to without compromising their time with God and their kids.
It's a unique recipe that is filled with flexibility and surrender, but there are times where we unintentionally take on more than we can hold.
Which of course is the path that leads to burnout.
Jen Riday is no stranger to this type of burnout, and is on a mission to help other moms learn from it... and overcome it.
Sounds a lot like me, huh? :)
In this episode, mom, PhD in Human Development and Family Studies, and host of the Vibrant Happy Women Podcast Jen Riday shares her burnout story, and unlocks her tried and true toolbox to rising from its wake in order to love your work and life again.
I promise you'll be so encouraged.
