Kingdom Academy

 In this episode, I unpack how our “comfort bubbles” act as self-built shields that keep us from fully stepping into the calling God has for us. We will explore the spiritual dangers of staying cozy in those zones—how they can lead to stalled growth and quiet disobedience. Drawing on biblical stories and personal experiences, I guide you to spot your comfort bubble, weigh what obedience costs, and take concrete steps to burst free so you can walk confidently into your divine purpose. PS. As I mentioned in the last episode's show notes, I have wrestled with the renaming of this podcast. But I think I finally have it! Roar Rising. What do you think? It's time to step out of your comfort bubble and roar.  If you are finding these episodes encouraging, helpful, or inspiring, I would love to ask you to take a moment to subscribe, leave a comment or review, and share with a friend! If you are a content creator, you understand how helpful that is, and if not, it is so helpful in scaling and reaching more for impact and transformation.  Takeaways Comfort bubbles can suffocate our obedience to God. We often protect our comfort bubbles at all costs. Not every peaceful place is our promised land. Comfort can numb us to God's voice and conviction. Obedience often requires stepping out of our comfort zones. We must be willing to pay the price for obedience. Clarity comes after obedience, not before. God calls us to a battlefield, not a padded playpen. We need to identify what we're protecting in our comfort bubbles. Taking one step towards obedience can lead to fulfillment.

In this episode, I explore why indecision often feels like wisdom but is driven by fear and a desire for comfort. I explain how it can stall both personal and business growth, then walk you through a practical decision-making blueprint designed to help you move forward. I challenge you to confront your hesitation and make bold choices that align with your true calling. Takeaways Indecision can feel safe but often leads to stagnation. Using God as a crutch for indecision is common but misleading. Obedience requires active decision-making, not passivity. Fear of judgment and perfectionism can paralyze decision-making. Indecision can lead to missed opportunities in business. God calls us to the fullness of our purpose, even in discomfort. Building a decision-making blueprint is essential for clarity. Setting deadlines can help overcome indecision. Expect spiritual resistance when making decisions. Taking bold action is necessary to fulfill your calling. 00:00 The Fire Within: Embracing Your Calling 02:56 Breaking Free from Indecision 06:11 The Cost of Indecision in Business 08:56 Building a Decision-Making Blueprint 11:55 The Fire Challenge: Taking Action   PS. Ok, I know I know. I am taking forever with this name change thing.   I have just really been wrestling with it.  It's funny how you can help others do something really well, but then, when you have to do it yourself, you find it much more difficult. But I think this is really it.  Ready for it?  Roar Rising! That is more aligned to my brand, though I love burning bones because so many women I work with have the burning in their bones!  But it will be Roar Rising, I just have to find the time to get the name change done.  And yes, I know the ai image of me is a "bit off" to say the least, lol, but I don't have time at the moment for a new photo shoot.

Join me on a journey through the challenges of entrepreneurship, particularly the struggle of managing numerous ideas and the importance of focusing on implementation. I'll outline five key steps to help entrepreneurs transition from idea overload to actionable execution, emphasizing the importance of clarity, accountability, and support throughout the process. Takeaways Entrepreneurs often face overwhelming amounts of ideas and information. Focusing on one idea at a time is crucial for success. Implementation is more important than just having ideas. A structured approach can help in breaking down goals into manageable tasks. Accountability and support from others can enhance progress and motivation. Distractions and time-wasters must be identified and minimized. Regular reflection and adjustment of focus are necessary for growth. Creating a 'Focus Fast' can help eliminate distractions. Collaboration and mentorship can provide valuable guidance. Obedience to one's calling is essential for fulfilling potential. 00:00 The Journey of Entrepreneurship 06:08 From Ideas to Implementation 14:31 Overcoming Distractions and Building Focus 18:35 Stewarding Your Vision with Excellence I'd love to walk with you inside our upcoming Podcast Subscription Membership or the Resist and Roar Collective—a coaching and community space where I help you launch your podcast, or take your existing podcast or platform to the next level.

In the gap, we often find ourselves confused about God's plans for us. Why did He call us to this if it's gonna be so difficult? Maybe it doesn't even look like it's gonna work.  How do we bridge the gap between our calling and the practical steps needed to fulfill that calling? Join Heather as she emphasizes the importance of the equipping and sanctification process, using the biblical story of David as a key example and highlighting the process and path to fulfilling a calling that often involves tribulation and suffering. Still, it is through these challenges that individuals are prepared for their purpose. She encourages listeners to embrace their calling and invest in their growth. And even when it feels overwhelming, we can press through the gap to reach the promises the Lord has given us.     00:00 Bridging the Gap Between Calling and Action 13:13 The Sanctification Process: Equipping for Purpose   PS.

In this episode, Heather addresses the theme of silence that many women experience due to past traumas, particularly in the context of narcissistic abuse. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing the lies that have shaped one's identity and the power of words in healing and destruction. Heather guides listeners through identifying these lies, replacing them with truth from scripture, and ultimately finding their voice and purpose. The conversation is a call to action for women to embrace their inner strength and share their stories. There is so much confusion in figuring out how to start your vision and what your step-by-step plans should be. But when you get clear on your message, by first healing and identifying these lies and deceptions that are keeping you in the dark.  All the right things won't work if we are still in the dark.  00:00 Uncovering the Silence Within 03:04 Understanding Narcissistic Abuse 06:12 The Power of Words and Healing 11:58 Identifying and Replacing Lies 18:14 Activating Your Roar 24:12 Finding Your Voice and Purpose PS.

The enemy is in big trouble! The Lord is releasing many of His daughters from their wilderness seasons. They are exiting the wilderness with the honey of His supernatural provision dripping from their lips as they lean on their Beloved with testimonies burning like fire in their bones.  If you have such a message, then this episode is for you.   You are not alone, sister.  We are a rising army of the Lord's daughters who are no longer afraid, willing to be silent, or intimidated by the enemy's tactics.  Whoa unto those who have slandered you, falsely accused you, and manipulated you to remain silent—no more.  In this conversation, Heather Sudbrock discusses the importance of clarity in one's message, drawing from the struggles of the prophet Jeremiah. She emphasizes that a true message is birthed from divine inspiration rather than personal feelings and urges listeners to confront their fears and uncertainties. The conversation explores how to identify and articulate one's message, the challenges of sharing it, and the transformative power it holds for both the speaker and the audience. It's time to roar your message and voice and launch it from your own podcast and platforms.  00:00 The Power of Your Message 02:50 Jeremiah's Struggles and Divine Calling 05:58 The Burning Message Within 08:53 Finding Clarity in Your Message PS.

In this conversation, Heather emphasizes the importance of sharing personal testimonies as a means of spiritual empowerment and transformation. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own stories, identify breakthrough moments, and articulate their messages to reach those still struggling. By focusing on the transformation rather than the trauma, individuals can find their voice and help others find liberation through their experiences. Takeaways Your story is a weapon against spiritual forces. Focus on the transformation in your testimony. Identify your chain-breaking moment. Write a letter to your listener in need. Declare life over those who are struggling. Your voice is meant for liberation, not validation. Get clear on your message to gain confidence. Create a tagline that resonates with your audience. The enemy wants to keep you silent. Implementing these exercises emboldens your voice.

Are low-ticket offers holding your business back? In this episode, Heather Sudbrock dives into the hidden limitations of relying on low-ticket pricing and why it may be keeping you stuck in a cycle of overwork and underpayment.

Using relatable analogies, she breaks down the psychology behind buyer commitment and pricing strategy—helping you see why charging more leads to greater impact. Suppose you've been hesitant to raise your prices or feel unsure about transitioning to high-ticket offers. In that case, this episode will help you shift your mindset, overcome self-doubt, and take the next step toward building a sustainable, profitable business. Takeaways Low ticket offers can keep you stuck in a cycle. Charging more leads to better clients and commitment. Selling high-ticket offers requires a strategic marketing plan. You need fewer clients to reach your financial goals with high ticket offers. High-ticket buyers are more committed to their success. Investing in higher-priced programs leads to better results. Scaling offers can help clients achieve their goals progressively. A clear message is essential for effective podcasting. Breaking limiting beliefs about pricing is crucial for growth.

Summary In this episode, Heather Lea dives deep into what's necessary for monetizing a podcast, emphasizing the importance of understanding one's purpose and the value of content. She discusses the shift from a hobbyist to a business mindset, the significance of stewardship in kingdom business, and various monetization strategies, including high-ticket coaching, memberships, and transformational courses. Heather encourages podcasters to recognize their audience's deep pain and how to create offers that genuinely serve their needs, ultimately leading to financial success and personal fulfillment.   Takeaways Monetizing a podcast requires a shift from a hobbyist to a business mindset.

What does it mean to remain in the waiting, even if, even when?  Just as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said, We will stand for our God Who is able to save us, but if He does not, we will STILL not serve your false gods.  They were willing to remain waiting on the Lord, even if, and even when, He didn't show up as they might hope He would.  Here's the question, are we able to stand like this in the things the Lord has called us to do?  Even if, even when it doesn't look like He is showing up for us?  We need to understand what the Word says about being obedient, about waiting, and about standing fast, even if and even when we don't understand.  Join me in this episode as we dive into this discussion and dig into the Word together.  PS.

This episode covers something I think we often overlook in the chaos of our lives. We allow so much "busyness" to keep us from biblical truths that distance us from the blessings and will of the Lord God.   So, we are going to cover stewardship. And not just stewardship but the biblical need for it, what happens if we don't, and what happens when we do. This is about stewarding the purpose, the vision, and the life the Lord has given to us.  PS.

Alot of us sisters have been lied to by the enemy for many years, and some for the most of our lives if not all our lives.   Our voice is valuable and important to help others get victory.  YOUR VOICE IS THE KEY THEY ARE WAITING FOR! The enemy wants to silence the Lord's daughters because she is the one who holds the keys to her home. And the devils number one favorite place to attack? The family.  But why women? We will be diving deeper into these things in the next few episodes, so let's dive in!  You can contact me here!

These 3 things are incredibly important in Christian leadership roles.  Even if you are stepping into ministry or business for the first time, or if you have been for a long time, these things are desperately needed to lay our foundations with wisdom.  These are biblical, and these are powerful to learn and know~  Can't wait to share with you!  I would love to get on a call with you and faithstorm your vision or area you need some support in.  You can reach me on instagram @reigninjoy or schedule a call here

Our guest in this episode is Kathleen Cooke, and I'm really excited for you to hear this episode as it's of crucial importance for those of us called to or in business and ministry.  Kathleen shares about importance of media in getting the gospel around the world.  How some nations are closing thier doors, and others are opening them and how important your testimony and message is to go forth to these places, as there are fellow brothers and sisters in Christ who are willing to risk all to have access because they understand the value of getting the gospel to their nations!  You have a testimony that the world needs to hear and you need a like-minded community to connect with.  Stay tuned as Kathleen also shares about her ministries that you can join and partake in, to use media and your voice, to reach the nations!

There is a price to pay for disobedience, but there is also a price to pay for obedience to the Lord.  This doesn't seem fair, but the payoff is eternal. The enemy requires your eternal damnation in trade for whatever he promises you.  The Lord requires your eternal salvatioin in trade for obedience to Him.  With the enemy, the price is AFTER the promise.  With the Lord, the price is paid BEFORE the the promise.  Join your host Heather, as she shares how the scriptures reveals these truths and how they apply to us in all we are called to obey and steward.  If you are ready to launch your voice to the nations, schedule a call with me here!

The Word of God says that we need to gird up the loins of our minds, in 1 Peter 1:13. To gird up our minds, is to prepare our minds for action. But not for our own actions, but the Lords will given to us WHEN our minds have been girded up.  Here is something to consider; What has shaped your thoughts and opinions over the years? Were you taught the truth? Just because you were told the truth, doesn't mean it is the truth.

In this episode, Andrea Anderson shares some amazing insights into the thing we don't talk about much in Christian business, anxiety. But I am not talking about a nervousness, I am talking about a high functioning anxiety.  Are you often busy, moving, doing, planning and strategizing? Do you struggle to rest, make time, or even feel peace at being at rest? We often chalk this up to being creatives, energetic people, we have minds that never stop, sometimes not even long enough to let us sleep much. Well, that is what high functioning anxiety is.  This episode is eye opening and you might be suprised to find that what you consider creativity, is actually not. It's not to say you aren't creative, but that something other than creativity is driving you. Learn how high functioning anxiety might be showing up in your life and you didn't even know what it was or how to deal with it.
