Distractions and false Teaching are EVERYWHERE today and the enemy would love for you to stay dialed into THAT. Because it seems close to what you know. You admit you don't know the bible cover to cover but you know some key verses and you are working to understand more. The problem is that the longer we don't know the bible and God's truth that is the only one the more we make versions of it, are swayed towards conterfeit ones from christians that we follow and are influenced by, pretty soon our larger influence of non believers and the worldview seep in and download THEIR truth. Do you know the difference? Do you have the foundation needed and the awareness to stand firm in Christ. That is what we will discuss today! Things I reference in this podcast:Jesus Calling I use everyday and keep in my car, I also give as giftshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1591451884/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_YWAS1F0T9N5YT76ERV1V?linkCode=ml2&tag=justinewenzel-20Bob Tiede leading with Questions Book I reference often, he was on the podcast check out : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/courage-queen/id1543827815?i=1000564518270Bob's book referenced: https://amzn.to/3xbup87Love this episode and loving Courage Queen Podcast in general?

Our Guest Shannon Nunnelly joins us this week to discuss Eating Disorders, Body Positivity, Growing out your grey hair, and aging gracefully as well as all the revelations that come from that!

We hope this is a blessing to you!

A quick burst of wisdom for how to cultivate great relationships because making friends as an adult can feel weird. These are my personal thoughts and feelings toward this topic of understanding and reflecting on something that my husband and I do so often and have made it a point to exert the extra energy. I believe its something that most will not do and then wonder why people dont support what they put out into the world and could be the reason why the world feels more lonely than ever. Click in to listen to the strategies and thought behind this concept. Hope you enjoy this quick bite!

We are Back! Phew- it took a while to get here but we are back in action. I am excited to kick off this summer series for the next 4 weeks and have some great themes and wisdom to share that God dropped in my brain the past couple months. This has been prayed over and confirmed so many times. You will hear from some special guests as well as some solo offerings. The premise? Relationships/dating and Marriage more specifically are not focused on the right things most of the time. What do we do to attract the right person with the qualities that matter, the character gifts that matter. We are doing it all wrong watching the culture and there is ONE truth. its God's solution and it's always been here but we have been made to believe its old news and we don't need it. Let's dive in and grow through what we go through.

So valuable for anyone that wants to serve others well! Remember: Having amazing friends means you have to be a good friend. How can we improve our service with these 10 practical ideas that I experienced and am forever grateful for the overwhelming generosity my family experienced and i knew this would be a valuable topic! 

It's here the part 3 and last of the birth story.

We all have a story- this is mine. Part 2 shares my labor leading up to emergency c section and the day I became a nicu mom for a 4 month hospital stay 3 months before I was suppose to give birth. There are some key elements in the toolkit I would say are a MUST for any future situation that we define as our hard, but we all have our hard and its how we embrace it and allow God to use it to help others and grow personally. Its not what happens to you its what you do with what happens to you- are you going to sift the value and beauty out of it? More of this is this weeks episode, check it out.

Just a little mid week pump up of belief so that you get the confirmation you need to keep PRESSING IN! - Keep embracing the uncomfortable of the current or upcoming season you are in. I know I needed it. There is a time for everything and when God is birthing something NEW in you it can be downright uncomfortable. We are likely to walk through some fear and insecurity as he calls us out to newness and we have to LET GO of the familiar - even when its disorienting, knowing that he equips us when we are tired, feel alone, confused, scared or desperate. He knows exactly what we need and exactly what he is doing. The journey will change and grow us into the people he wants us to become if we allow it- he will never leave us or forsake us- REMEMBER THAT."See I am doing a NEW thing"- Isaiah 43:19 he is making a way in the wildnerness. I feel God calling upp believers to be bold. its time to GO- time to move- seek him because what more confirmation or direction do you need that the world cannot give! Make it a great rest of the week and fabulous holiday!

What I believe most Christ Followers miss when it comes to tapping into Gods "Power". Are you obsessed with controlling your desired outcomes? Going before God? Do you know you need to make changes or heard from God on what to do but you are stubborn and don't want to do it so you have put it off? Wondering why something feels like it is missing? Listen as I share the two secrets that NEED to be examined, understood, executed/applied if you want to be truly effective in the important work you have been called to do. Whether you understand it as your purpose or you are still searching, you can experience the true power of the holy spirit which fast tracks you to where God wants you- but you need to get out of the way and let him work! Are you ready to put in the hours? Are you ready to be a doer of the word?Lets dive in!Have a great weekend friends. 

Meet Liz Henderson: Wife, Mama, Consistency Coach, Podcast Host, Postpartum Weight Loss Expert, and a #toughlove and Mindset Enthusiast"I'm the kind of mom who gains a lot of weight during pregnancy, but with simple consistency & the right habits, I lost 80 lbs after my first pregnancy and 70 lbs after my second.The weight loss is great, but the best results are the confidence, the growth, & seeing your efforts positively impact your kids. I live for the moment a mom realizes she is so much more capable than she realizes. Nothing lights a fire under my butt quite like seeing a fellow mama realize how capable she is in taking control of her health, her mindset, and her life. Especially when she realizes it's done in the seemingly insignificant choices over and over and over.When living a healthy lifestyle and doing really hard things with confidence simply becomes “who you are” and no longer feels like something you'll forever strive for and never reach, I've done my job. "In this episode we talk about the importance of mindset and how it is the foundation for everything! Enneagram and personal growth, battling self doubt and insecurities when it comes to what you are capable of and how to make a choice that serves the FUTURE you- BEST.

How's this for wisdom wednesday?! This week we are focusing on 3 key questions to ask yourself and journal and how to make the DECISION to stop playing it safe- scared - small! Its not sexy on you girl and we gotta change it. 1. What does living up to your full potential mean to you?2. What are you capable of achieving? - DON'T you dare shrink it .. have the courage to speak it out loud and write it down. 3. What is the main thing/ story/ excuse that is stopping you from doing the thing(s) you have said you are capable of? I believe that when you invest the time in this simple practice and truly make the decision to get into action... it silences the self worth issues that bubble up- that fear that bubbles up. YOU DESERVE TO BE LIVING YOUR DREAM. YOU WERE MEANT FOR MORE. GET AFTER IT!Have a great week friends!

We are kicking off our Courage Queen on Fire Series, kinda like hot girl summer but even better lol These women are incredible inside and out and they are on FIRE for the Lord, sharing their stories of building confidence, faith and living in excellence in work as they pave the way in our communities!

I promise it will be a series to remember full of golden  nuggets and redefining what it means to find "success" Gods way and truly live a life that honors him! From Tiffany:"You're Ambitious, You have big goals . You want the most out of life.You know deep down that you were made for more.But the negative beliefs are crippling. The imposter syndrome surrounds you with doubt. The fear of judgement keeps you stuck. The thought of failing holds you back. One minute you're on fire and ready to rock the world and the next you're questioning if you can do this and if you have what it takes.I spent years on that mindset rollercoaster. I was hustling so hard in my business but had nothing to show for it.But then I shifted one simple thing & my business blew up, hitting the top of the company in less than a year...my confidence. I ditched the grind for grace & built a multiple 6-figure business by staying aligned with my highest self, focused on the things that bring me joy and connected to my soul goals.  I'm on a mission to help women do the same because can you imagine a world where women are audacious about their ambition and shine bright unapologetically!?

Effective communication is an essential life skill. Communication is so powerful it can change the course of any relationship. Do you have a relationship that has gone off course?  Have you experienced unhealthy communication in relationships that caused more hurt than help? I would argue that communication is the vehicle that can get it back on track and being confident in how you communicate effectively in love while also being direct proves that you are invested in your relationships and want to take personal responsibility to see it improve. These tactical and tangible tips light me up and I want to share with you what I have learned through trial, mistakes and relationship "winning" moments. Lets grow together!

This week we take a deep dive into trauma, suffering, and how to have hope in a world where we are experiencing so much brokenness. I had my long term friend Joe on to podcast to unpack his personal experiences transparently with us and how he took steps to healing in his own life. A little about Joe: Joe's greatest passion is to equip people with the skills and tools necessary for their success, that is, for them to find a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives.  He is driven by a deep empathy for others, his Faith, and a lot of laughter and sarcasm.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joseph.ehrmantraut/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joe_ehrmantraut/Email: josephwilliam688@gmail.comJoin our Courage Queen Free Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/275631504657791/?ref=shareNeed a Positive Breath of fresh air in your faith, confidence and accountability to take imperfect action?

Truthfully this episode is for me this week. After multiple setbacks my goals seem so far away. Ever feel like the more you try to make something happen, the more resistance you get? You feel like you are getting knocked down with one event after the other and you are tempted to quit... All the self sabotaging thoughts of your failures, past mistakes, or any memories of how you DID NOT finish the goal before flood in.. even if the goal you are working towards you have already achieved once... Isnt it crazy how the enemy knows all your weaknesses and can get you so tied up, confused, questioning everything and then on the other end of it GOD- can get you so UNSTUCK because he always gives you a way out. This episode is for all the people that are tempted to quit, throw in the towel or have ever quit something in the past and you are often tortured and reminded about your past failures... IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY! Lets dig into truth and scripture about what GOD has to say about suffering and why its NECESSARY in our growth journey.

What does it mean to be authentic? The world would love us to get obsessed with thinking being authentic is speaking our truth and just being real but in truth, God tells us very clearly that Authenticity if filled and fulfilled only through him. We chase and chase for what makes us feel most authentic but we come up empty, because the world is wired to conform and it takes courage to do it Gods way.Lets dive in past all the trendy authentic #goals we find online that are not sustainable or true.Authenticity is transparency and admission of failure. It's the rejection of pretense and hypocrisy. It's truth-telling about all areas of life. So start with God- spill out all your truth to him first and humble yourself so he can USE you. He is bigger than any of your inadequacies believe me...Come Hang with me on Social!https://www.facebook.com/groups/275631504657791/?ref=share

Our Guest this week is Krisdee Clark who shares her testimony walking through breast cancer and turning her pain into purpose to help women  that would walk through cancer to have her best blueprint for handling it with grace and grit.Krisdee Clark lives on Lake Murray in sunny South Carolina with her husband LTC. Joshua Clark and her 2 children, Belle and Knox and her 3 bonus sons! She is the Director of Corporate Affairs for Agape Care Group, the largest hospice and palliative care group in South Carolina and now Georgia. Krisdee's strong faith has gotten her through many storms throughout her life but little did she know during one of the happiest times in 2019 she would go through her toughest storm to date. In 2019 one month after she married her husband Josh, he was deployed to the Middle East for 9 months. The very next month in February 2020, Covid 19 began to become a national pandemic and as the world was shutting down, Krisdee had a routine Mammogram and a biopsy on a small lump she found in the shower. Three days later she would hear the words she never thought she would hear especially at 41 years old- “You have breast cancer.”Krisdee' s story is one of survival, faith and grace. Listening to the Lord after her initial visit to the surgical oncologist she knew that God was leading her elsewhere for this journey and out of her comfort zone of South Carolina. A little bit of research and a quick call to a Mentor rep with Johnson and Johnson got her to Graper Harper Cosmetic Surgery in Charlotte, North Carolina for a consultation with Dr. Garrett Harper and then to Dr. Peter Turk at Novant Health. These 2 amazing surgeons were instrumental in her journey. Choosing a bilateral mastectomy, learning the cancer was in 2 lymph nodes, 4 rounds of chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation, an oophorectomy and finally reconstructive surgery a year later Krisdee uses her platform to advocate for women everywhere. With 1 in 8 women diagnosed each year with breast cancer we simply do not have enough stories of thriving after breast cancer and what that looks and feels like. Krisdee started The Blog, The Blonde Bombshell to help women everywhere know that they are not alone.Krisdee was recently selected as Mrs. Capital City America 2022 and will compete for the Mrs. South Carolina crown June 25, 2022. “To be able to share my platform and represent the beautiful women of South Carolina on a state level and hopefully with God's help on a National stage this is simply a dream come true.” I feel like Queen Esther in verse 4:14 “Perhaps I was created for such a time as this. Queen Esther is a wonderful and powerful female role model to look up to and I am grateful to bring a little bit of her with me on my journey.” Connect with Krisdee and view her resources and  blog at www.theblondebombshell.net Her companies  website  www.agapecaregroup.com  for Hospice CareNeed support?

Hi friends! Our guest this week is Tara Allmendinger. Press play and be prepared for a radical shift of how to move from "want" to "do" - taking imperfect action like we talk about. We also dive deep into faith based wisdom and personal experiences that led Tara to see how God connected the dots in her life. More on Tara...Tara hasn't always looked and felt the way she appears today. Years of stomach pain, depression, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, anxiety, etc. kept her from living her best life. It took major lifestyle changes, doing her own research, and ultimately trusting her guts. She says years of struggling with food and environmental allergies shaped her lifestyle. By embracing the process of personal development, Tara has been able to find the light and fight within herself; a path to peace in my mind, body, and soul.Sharing her struggles and tools to overcome obstacles with others has inspired her to show up in a variety of ways. She says “It has become a superpower for me to help others heal and bridge the gap between want and do.” Tara thinks of herself as a Wellness Warrior. Using her own wellness journey, she inspires personal victories and self-fulfillment. “Flip the script from a victim to a victor and embrace the Spirit of Victory!” Tara is a Wellness Warrior. She is married to her husband AJ and lives northwest of Charlotte in Denver, NC. She recently competed in her first bikini fitness competition and is the current reigning Mrs. North Carolina America. This is a huge accomplishment because it represents overcoming major gut issues and allergies that once controlled her life. Today, she is the most joyful and well version of herself. One of her favorite things to do is share her road to wellness with others. She is excited to wake up each day with the drive and the tools to inspire others to feel well in mind, body, and soul. She is living proof that self-care, faith, positive affirmations, and not being afraid of failure will lead to growth and happier life.Connect with Tara : instagram: @ mrs.allmendingertwitter: @ TaraLea_Don't forget to Rate and Review the podcast 5 stars if you are an avid listener and tell us what you loved!

Happy Monday! I am SOO pumped to give you this breath of fresh air. We have ALL the top ways you are self sabotaging, but how do we recognize them,  not fight with our feelings anymore and break the cycle of distraction, perfection and guilt when we know we are getting off track from what we know we want. Time to get unstuck!!Join my Free Confidence + Courage Community for Faith led Women that want to step into their dreams with confidence : https://www.facebook.com/groups/275631504657791/?ref=shareDo you wish there was a way to truly embrace who you are and show up as your most authentic self? Do you fear that if you showed the world who you really were you wouldn't be loved and accepted? What if instead you chose to unapologetically live your life FULL OUT with level 10 confidence, fearing LESS about fitting in because let's face it, we were never suppose to!I know what it feels like to beat yourself up about not being where you thought you would be at this point in your life. You feel frozen in fear and frustration as you realized you aren't living out your full potential. You have big dreams and excitement for the future, but you are hoping you can “get it together” so this year won't be a repeat of the last. Friend, the confidence you're missing is bigger than just your business, its spilling over into every area of life. Too many women are having a crisis of confidence and lacking clarity in their identity that keeps them playing SMALL. Imagine If you could start trusting God with all the worries that you go to sleep with at night. Imagine becoming a catalyst to transform the world around you through your character and courage. Imagine you approach your day feeling focused and free confidently knowing that each step you take is intentional. You're not just here, but here for a purpose.Thats why I created Confidence + Courage Coaching so you can own your story, develop your God given Gifts and Level up your confidence. Through my 5 step coaching system you will uncover why you haven't been living in your level 10 confidence. As you grow your faith roots deeper with my confidence devotional/journal prompts you will be able to boldly serve in your God given abilities, and give others permission to do the same. It's time to stop standing on the sidelines watching everyone else live their dream life. It's time to step into your dreams with faith filled peace and confidence. It's time to simply fear Less.So if you're ready to live life full out and start strengthening that courage muscle, email me the word "CONFIDENCE"  at COURAGEQUEENPOD@gmail.com If you are looking for a Sign… THIS IS IT!

Welcome Courage Queen's! This week we are on a mission to radically redefine self love, self care, self esteem and boundaries. A balanced and fulfilled life is POSSIBLE- BUT there are things we MUST do in order to claim that type of living. Stop neglecting your physical, emotional, spiritual wellness and get on track because burnout isn't cute! Our guest this week is Coach Ama Brew, this is what she has to share with us and SOO much more.From Ama: "I know how it feels to be trying so hard to keep up on the outside but struggling with an intense inner turmoil on the inside. It's hard to admit that you don't have it all together when you think that being a Superwoman is what makes you worthy and empowered as a woman.As a teenager, I was a “big” kid with a loud mouth who never felt good enough. After high school, I had a personal encounter with God and knew from that moment on that my purpose was to empower women to maximize their potential and live purposeful lives.I went on to publish my first book at the age of 17 to share my experiences & to help empower teenage girls who also struggled with self-esteem. I obtained my B.A. in Psychology and my Masters in Organizational Leadership & Human Resources Management.All through my corporate career, I often coached the women who were struggling to find balance & purpose. But everything stopped when I had kids. I lost myself completely for years & was headed for complete burnout. This was because in my bid to be a virtuous woman, I neglected my emotional, spiritual, physical & psychological wellness. I kept thinking I should be happy – I have everything I have always wanted – a husband, kids, educational degrees – but I wasn't fulfilled because I always felt overwhelmed, tired, stressed, burnt-out and out of balance.I found my way back to a more balanced, fulfilled, productive & purposeful life and I'm now on a mission to help other struggling women do the same."Ama's Website: https://www.empoweredforbalance.com COURAGE QUEEN LINKS:Connect on Social www.instagram.com/couragequeenpodJoin the fabulous and free community of faith led women taking action on their dreams!- its our Podcast Community page :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/275631504657791/?ref=shareMake it a fabulous Week! 

Hey Friends! Trigger Warning. Getting super vulnerable this week as I reflect on 2 years of breaking the silence in my life. I have grown so much and I feel passionately called to share with you transparently so that maybe just maybe you will dig into the Courage and faith available to you to persevere and ALSO get to the other side. I share how you Validate your trauma and start your healing process. These are my personal experiences and reccommendations only, so know that until you choose you want to heal and take active steps can you expect to get to the other side. I am confident that if you get quite and dig into God that he can be your supernatural physician, leading you to the tools and resources that work hand in hand with healing the inner most parts of you that feel broken. I love the analogy that God takes the "broken peices" of our story and glues them back to be raw, real, authentic and beautiful in their own way. I know you can do hard things. If you need support- im here. Just message me personally @couragequeenpod on instagram.
