In this episode, I chat about a big life goal that I have been working towards and how imposter syndrome has been getting the better of me. It's been standing in my way and distracting me from the path that God has prepared for me. I share some ways I have overcome imposter syndrome in the past and reflect on the ways God has helped me navigate this tricky imposter who has me believing I am not experienced enough, successful enough, smart enough, or equipped for the task at hand. Lastly, I share the revelation I have had that has helped me look fear in the eye and whisper back that I CAN, in fact, do it.

Welcome back to the Cup of Faith podcast. This is officially our first episode of the new year so I thought what better way than to kick it off by sharing my process for setting goals for the new year. Don't worry though, if you find planning for the year ahead to be overwhelming, you can also use these steps to plan for the week ahead or even the day ahead. In this episode, I share the importance of reflecting on the things you're grateful for happening, the things you have achieved and how to go about setting goals followed by an action plan and check-in. I share the importance of prayer and how to deal with plans not always going according to your plan.I have also shared a new Instagram Story template which can be used to share and highlight the things you have achieved this week and the goals you have for the new week. Why not create a highlight on your profile, and save these each week to look back on at the end of the year? Tag me in your stories so I can celebrate your goals and achievements too!Don't forget to visit our website, where you can apply to become a contributor, sign up to our newsletter, read stories from Christian women all over the world, join our virtual book club and download free resources and devotionals.

In Romans 1:10-11, Paul writes, "I pray that now at last by God’s will, the way may be opened for me to come to you." Today, I share how frustrating it can be when we feel like our prayers aren't being heard because they're not being answered in OUR time, but that when I take a step back and see how God's timing has been so perfect in other times of my life, I am forced to sit back and trust that He hears my prayers and that He is working on it, but that it will happen in HIS time because His timing is perfect. I also touch on how sometimes we feel like life can be a bit inconvenient, like when we forget our wallet, but just how many times I have realized that because I went back to fetch my wallet or buy milk, I narrowly missed a life-changing event and wonder how many times I have been an important part in someone else's puzzle. How many times has God put me in a place at a certain time so that my kids ran in front of them, which delayed them a little and prevented something from happening in their life. God's time... it's a wonderful thing, isn't it? In this episode, I also reference the article I recently wrote for Luchae's Blog called My Spreadsheet Brain, where I shared Eli's story of burning himself, you can find it here.

Unscripted and unfiltered, in today's episode, I open up and share how I feel my own childhood impacted my relationship with God and how that shifted when I became a parent.

In today's episode, I discuss how easily we glorify being busy and the impact that social media has on us through defining success stories as ones that require juggling multiple jobs, side-hustles and all while effortlessly managing a family and keeping up with a regular exercise regime. I open up about my own season of being too busy and how it took me months to learn how to rest - rest... what does the Bible say about rest? I break down several verses that discuss rest and what God desires for us!Don't forget to visit our website, where you can apply to become a contributor, sign up to our newsletter, read stories from Christian women all over the world, join our virtual book club and download free resources and devotionals.

Today marks the launch of Cup of Faith, a concept I dreamt up when I was going through my toughest season. I wanted to create an online space for Christian women to connect, inspire and encourage one another through our respective walks of life. In this episode, I reflect on the last year and share how my biggest hardships became my greatest blessings, and tell you about my vision and inspiration for Cup of Faith. As you'll soon realize, I have very little idea of how I am going to pull off my grand ideas but after sitting on this dream for more than a year, I have come to accept that I don't need to know how - I just have to get started and trust God to take care of the rest.
