Positioned to Prosper with Erica Pyle

#190// What do you see with your eyes closed? What do you see when you allow your spirit to set vision as it's connected to the Spirit of God?Listen, Sister . . . if we're actually going to BEHOLD the things of God in the natural, we've got to get good at seeing it with our spirit first. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to speak to and exhort over 300 women at our REVIVE Woman Conference 2025 about what it looks like to BEHOLD with God... to perceive the new thing He is doing in this coming season (see Isaiah 43:19). The truth is: We BECOME what we BEHOLD!If we are continually beholding our Savior -- the way He walked and talked and related to others -- we will become more and more like Him. If we allow ourselves to behold the negative, the swirl, the chaos or overwhelm, we will continually see that all around us. And here's the part no one wants to say out loud: We can't BECOME on our own because it's hard for us to BEHOLD on our own. We NEED other faith-filled, godly women of purpose around us -- cheering us on, calling us up higher, discipling and challenging us -- for our GOOD and for the GLORY of God!And you better believe the enemy is going to do everything in his power to keep you from beholding. Because he doesn't want you to BECOME! That makes you a BIG threat to his kingdom of darkness. But I've got his schemes in my sight and I'm going to share with you The Four Strategies the Enemy Uses to Keep Us from Beholding: 

#189 // Are you a conference "junkie" . . . attending conference after conference for the next Holy Spirit "hit?"Listen, I've been there, Sister . . .I had this belief that the big breakthrough I needed or the touch from God that was going to finally shift things could only be found during a big, Christian conference with all the lights, sounds and fanfare. I would be so expectant for that type of encounter at these events, but there was very little expectation of God encountering me in that same way in my everyday life.The truth is: breakthrough and deliverance can happen anywhere!Yes, it can happen at the altar during a conference, but it can also happen in your living room as you set your heart and soul on the desire to experience God in a new way.But why are we talking about this? Well, friend... I'm hosting a women's conference next weekend and I want to help my ambitious, sound-making, Jesus Girls (like you) to know how you can properly prepare when you decide to attend a Christian conference. It's more than just popping up and enjoying the worship and word.Here are three things I'd encourage you to do before stepping into your next conference:

#188// Ready for the sweet little bookend to our four-part series, Sis? We're going from Dream to Do -- from Behold to Build -- NOW!As we close out this series on the podcast, I just want to remind you of why we're here (and of who YOU are as a member of this community) . . .We're here because we have it in our hearts to build big and beautiful things with and for God, through a business or ministry. We are ambitious, multi-passionate sisters who have a desire to walk in the fullness of our God-given purpose with acceleration and momentum, and without all the overwhelm and burnout. You're a powerhouse in this earth, Sister! And there is a way to go from beholding to building... here and now! I've put together a new resource (a whole workshop, really) to get you powerfully positioned to move from dreaming and beholding to actually doing and building. Wondering if this could be for you? Well, let me ask you:

#187// You've been dreaming about it... that Kingdom business or ministry God put on your heart. But you haven't launched it yet because you're not sure of where to start. We're gonna fix that up today, Sis!What if I told you there are 5 (yes, just 5!) basic building blocks you'll need as you launch your online business or ministry? These are the basics that are common to all successful online businesses and ministries. Are you ready to discover what they are?Even when the dream is Holy Spirit-inspired, there are some practical "first steps" needed to get you onto the launchpad for success. But maybe you've been stuck in the overwhelm of all the details:

#186// You're not for "everyone," Sister. Nobody is. So if you're trying to sell to everyone, you'll wind up selling to no one. It's powerful to be able to identify and speak directly to the ones God has called you to serve.As you're out here building big and beautiful things with and for God, it is so important to know WHO you're called to serve through your business or ministry. God put the idea in your heart, and He's giving you the grace to do #allthethings, but He also wants to help you get particularly focused on the people you're meant to be serving.The facts, features and specs you share with people about the product or service you offer may give them loads of information. But guess what. Facts don't sell. You know what does? STORIES! When you talk to the person you're sent to serve in "their language," addressing the question they're always "kinda" asking in the background -- "What's in this for me?" -- I'm telling you . . . You're going to find it so much easier to connect with people who need what you're offering. And sales will seem like a breeze! So, are you ready to discover "your person?" Are you ready to dial in what you offer and how you talk about it so folks find you, get excited about your solution and buy or donate with joy and expectation? On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper Podcast, I've got a simple (yet powerful) 10-question survey that'll help you get you get clear on your ideal "person" in NO time, so your "anointed offer" gets in front of the right person on repeat! You can download a copy of the free worksheet below.As a Kingdom-minded, entrepreneurial Jesus Girl, you are called to build something impactful and long-lasting in this earth. You know this, right?! The world needs what God placed on the inside of you, but it won't do anyone any good if you're unsure of who you're meant to be speaking and ministering to.If you know NOW is your time to finally get moving on that business, ministry, book, blog, Bible study, podcast or community God has called you to build, but you need a little help in determining your ideal audience to craft your irresistible offer, then this episode is for you, Sister. You CAN serve your person powerfully and excellently... without overwhelm. If you're ready to get started... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#185// Stuck in the "buffer zone," Sis? Dreaming, visioning, planning, researching... on repeat. It's time to get you FREE of this cycle and MOVE forward!We both know you're called to do big and beautiful things with and for God, right? But somehow we find ourselves getting caught in a cycle of dreaming and visioning on repeat without ever really moving into the DOING. That's called the "buffer zone," my friend, and we can get stuck there. Have you been feeling stuck like that? Are you ready to finally break free so you can move from dream to DO?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper Podcast, I've got a simple (yet powerful) 3-step strategy that'll have you moving from perpetual dreamland to actually (and finally!) walking out your God-purpose in no time. Are you ready for some of this, Sis?As a Kingdom-minded, entrepreneurial Jesus Girl, you are called to build something impactful and far-reaching in this earth. The world needs what God placed on the inside of you, but it won't do anyone any good if you're constantly dreaming about the promise but never "putting your hand to the plow" in action to see it manifest in your life. So . . . Can I help you get over the bridge from Dream to DO?If so, here are your next best steps:1️⃣ Vision Brain Dump2️⃣ Basic Building Blocks Checklist3️⃣ Beginning Blueprint*And don't stress, I have a resource below that's going to get you squared away as we dive into these steps over the next few podcast episodes.If you know NOW is your time to finally get moving on that business, ministry, book, blog, Bible study, podcast or community God has called you to build, but you need a little help in getting out of the dreaming phase and into the DOING phase, then this episode is for you, Sister. You CAN start (and not stop) by taking these powerful first steps that'll set you up for massive success. If you're ready to get started... Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#184// Yes, you CAN do #allthethings in Christ Jesus!You've been sold a lie that you can't "do it all," Sister. Over probably the last eight or ten years, popular media has repeatedly tried to tell us (because of burnout): "You've got to pick one thing and let go of the rest. You need to create more margin in your life."But what if I told you that in believing the lie of “I can't do it all” you've actually pushed off parts of your God-given identity and diminished parts of your purpose in the earth? That's a SELAH moment, Sister.As a faith-filled, ambitious, multi-passionate Jesus Girl, you are called to be a modern Proverbs 31 woman, and there is a grace found in God that can create a flow and cadence for your life. This grace will sustain you, carry you forward, and make you able to “do it all” in Christ Jesus. Wondering about the HOW? Here's your winning strategy, Friend:1️⃣ REPENT and BELIEVE Philippians 4:13 (grab that verse below and make it your daily declaration).2️⃣ GIVE GOD FIRST PLACE every morning. Start and end your day with Him, allowing Him to set your cadence in the morning and receive your gratitude in the evening.3️⃣ PLAN YOUR DAY with God. Allow Him to inform you of the important things for each day. This will greatly reduce stress and increase your success. If you know you're a Proverbs 31 woman who wants to reduce overwhelm, increase peaceful productivity and fulfillment in the fullness of your purpose, but you're needing a little help in the HOW of getting there, then this episode is for you, Sister. You need to know in the depths of you that God has created you for specific works and you CAN be and do every single thing He's created you for! If you need a little help picking up that truth...

#183// 

#182// You have to make the decision that you're going to STAND in your faith, Sis! That's the GRIT that'll position you to receive the GRACE of God for your life.Did you know that walking out the purpose of your life is going to take both grit AND grace? If you want to be positioned to receive the grace, you're going to have to stand with grit. You're going to have to make a decision that -- no matter where you started or what you had in your hands to begin with -- God can get you what you need, when you need it, so you can prosper fully in your purpose, Amen!Sometimes we get to a place where we're not seeing the promise come to pass... we're not seeing the "thing" manifesting in our world. This is often because we're just "waiting for the grace to fall," but we haven't positioned ourselves in the grit (the faith with works) that will actually bring the thing to fruition.Have you just been hoping for the grace of God to fall so that you can finally do the thing you feel like you were called to do? If so, it's okay to decide that now is the time to lean in and take active steps so you can have a different experience in your world. That's why on this week's episode, I'm sharing the message that I released at a recent Jesus Girl Gang's Ministry Night: Grit + Grace.If you're a Jesus girl who's got it in her heart to truly move in the grace of God as you build big and beautiful things with and for Him here in the earth, but you haven't experienced the grace that helps you to flow in that way, then this episode is for you, Sister. You need to know in the depths of you that God will flow His grace in and through you as you couple your faith with the grit of God! If you need a little help walking in both grace AND grit...

#181// You don't have to worry about how you're going to pay for the vision and assignment that God has given you!Listen, Sister . . . God actually cares about resourcing you for the assignment He's given you more than you do. True story! All you need to do is concern yourself with the receipt, belief, and obedience to the call. The main reason given by most of the women I coach for why they didn't "go for it" in business or ministry sooner is this: They had a paralyzing fear around money and provision. Most felt they couldn't get into motion until they had a firm grasp on how it was all going to get funded and resourced. But did you know that's not how it works in the Kingdom? So much of Kingdom living is trusting God at His word, stepping out on that word and then seeing Him provide as we move in obedience.Is your mindset around money holding you back from starting that business or ministry God has been calling you into? If so, it's okay to decide that now is the time to lean in and believe God at His word FIRST and get your mindset straight, and then ask questions about the how (including how to resource the vision). That's why on this week's episode, I'm sharing the money mindset you need to have in order to BOLDLY begin that "thing" God has been talking to you about.If you're a Jesus girl who's got it in her heart to make BIG moves with the Lord, but you've been stuck in fear around your resources and provision, this episode is for you, Sister. You need to know in the depths of you that God will provide every single resource you need to fulfill the calling on your life... just move your feet in faith!

#180// Yes, You CAN continue in faith... even when everything seems to be counting you out or trying to knock you down. If God said it, you can have faith that He'll do it!As a faith-filled woman who's trying to start and establish a Kingdom business or ministry, there are going to be times when every piece of feedback and data will try to convince you that it CAN'T BE DONE!BUT . . .✨ Are you willing to reset your faith and step out in a new way to see the Word of God manifest in your life, while you pick up massive upgrades along the way?✨ Are you ready to truly "live by faith" in such a way that the striving and overwhelm cease and you're flowing in the rhythm of grace?On this week's episode, I'm sharing the secret to living a faith-driven life: mindset upgrades and strategies that we can utilize on a daily basis that'll get us walking by faith and not by sight. If God said it, that settles it, and we can take Him at His word. But it takes the kind of faith that goes beyond what we see with our natural eyes so that we can tap into the supernatural that God wants to produce in our lives.If you're a Jesus girl who's got it in her heart to start and do BIG things with the Lord, but you've been flagging in your faith, this episode is for you, Sister. There is a vision for your life that you can lock onto, and you actually CAN move in true faith that you'll get to that glorious destination in Christ Jesus.

#179// If God has called you to do something, choose to believe you're the one for the job and act accordingly. His calling is what qualifies you, Sis.As an ambitious, multi-passionate, do-all-the-things, Jesus Girl you know that you have an assignment on your life... but have you found yourself questioning your purpose or the direction God is leading you in?

#178//  If you know you're an ambitious, multi-passionate, do all the things, Jesus Girl who knows it's time to (finally!) launch and build that Kingdom business or ministry, this live session is for YOU!We're going into a new season of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast and I'm excited to share where we're headed! Ready to know where we're going?

#177// We've been lied to about what accountability is.WARNING: I *may* be on a bit of a rant in this week's episode as I "discuss" what I think has happened to real accountability over the last few decades. With the rise of productivity coaching, hands-on "mentorships" and "results Christianity," alongside declining acknowledgement for basic, personal responsibility in pretty much all areas of life (even in the Church, my friend!), accountability has taken on quite the co-dependent flavoring. It's had me a little "triggered" as of late.As a self-described "breakthrough coach," and someone who absolutely LIVES to help others run their own race to breakthrough in their assigned lane to the glory of God, to think we've been sold this fake accountability as a way to "help" us get to the finish line is maddening to me. I believe this twisted definition of accountability offers us the spirit of victimhood and an "I can't if you don't make me" (wipes away tear) attitude that is absolutely getting folks stuck and keeping them out of their "promised land."On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast I'm ranting. But then I'm teaching. And THEN I'm inviting you into real accountability. So if you get a little twitchy, too, when you sense a rise of codependency in the room, or if you're wondering if, just maybe, you've fallen for this false sense of support yourself . . .

#176// There's nothing wrong with taking a break, Sis. Just make sure you're taking it on your own terms, and not because the enemy convinced you to "take the L" and "deal with it later."As this year comes to a close, I've heard one too many Christian "influencers" on social media talking about how it's *okay* to "go easy on yourself" if you didn't "make it happen" this year, and not to worry too much about setting vision, targets or plans for the year that lies ahead. #TeamBeGentle But can I tell you something? The enemy is not planning on being gentle with you in this upcoming season. Not even a little bit. If you have a purpose and an assignment on your life that brings the Kingdom into this earth, his whole aim is to be the OPPOSITE of gentle with you at all times. Sister, you're in the middle of a war and no wise warrior goes in without a war plan. You hearing me??Now listen . . . I'm not telling you to be hypervigilant or a striving maniac, okay? I'm not telling you to be legalistic or anxious about every single thing that comes before you. But what I AM telling you is:You need a plan for how you're going to steward your time, talents and effort in this next season and it's best for that plan to be one that can produce peaceful productivity in your life without the overwhelm or risk of burnout. To the glory of God. Amen!That kind of planning requires you to know what "ingredient" you need to keep the burnout OUT of your lane, Sis. You need to add the antidote for overwhelm to the *success soup* you're cooking up for the coming year. Do you know what that is?On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast I'm sharing just that: the only real antidote for overwhelm. Want to know what it is? I did a live sessionthe other day with my Facebook community where I shared this real antidote, but not before putting the enemy on blast for the four counterfeit "antidotes" he tries to sell us every single day.

#175// "When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen." - Isaiah 60:22But, Sis, did you know there's something you and I do that has the effect of negatively impacting how we experiencing His timing? Let me tell you what it is . . . DOUBT! We doubt ourselves, we doubt our capacity, our support and resourcing, and we even doubt the the absolute truth that God will perform His word. We allow what we see with our natural eyes, hear with our natural ears and what we understand from our own thinking and figuring to cause us to doubt what God has said He will do. And when we allow this doubt to creep in and run the show, it has an impact on how we do "our part" in any situation. In effect, we contribute to the delay. We "fail to make it happen."And can I tell you something else?Doubt can thrive anywhere you don't trust God at his Word! It's not just that doubt can exist in those places. Yeah, girl, it can exist there. But let me tell you from experience, doubt gets to THRIVE in places where we don't believe God at his Word. Like, living it's BEST life!On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast I'm sharing a live session I did with my Facebook community recently where I walked them through how to doubt-proof your life so you can stop failing to see the Lord "make it happen" in the here and now.

#174// A Plan is simply a healthy boundary around your time, your talents and your effort. Having a plan is like having a roadmap for how to navigate to your breakthrough.I'm coming in with a hard but GOOD word for you today . . . YES, You DO need a plan (Luke 14:28). YES, You CAN plan (Philippians 4:13). And YES, You can even learn CONTENTMENT and find JOY in the midst of the process of planning (1 Corinthians 9:24-27).Maybe you've had an experience of planning letting you down in the past. Maybe you don't feel like you're good at it. Maybe you've believed the lie that, since the outcome belongs to the Lord, it's a waste of time to plan for your breakthrough and eventual victory in Christ Jesus. Can I tell you something?The devil is a liar and he's trying to do whatever he can to get you off the plan for your life, Sis!You need a God-given strategy for how to steward your time, talents and efforts as it pertains to the work God has given you to do in this life. And the longer you live in the chaos of what you think is "waiting on God" (when what's really happening is just a mixture of apathy and bad theology), the farther down the disappointment pit you will fall. But Jesus came that you might have abundant life, to the FULL. Are you ready for that?On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast we're talking about why you definitely need a plan, how to get to the place where you know you can craft and execute a plan, and how to even enjoy the journey of planning so you can step into your most fruitful year with the Lord EVER, all without the overwhelm.

#173// "Kinda Crunchy" is a lifestyle born out of collective burnout, Sister.Negotiating the Standard of God is never a good idea. Not even when we find ourselves overwhelmed and thinking, "There must be an easier way to do this!" In fact, that's the worst place to start to have a compromise in your spirit. We need to know how to identify the voice of the enemy when he comes with the questions that lead us into letting down our godly standards. This includes the standard we hold as we steward the health -- spirit, soul and body -- God has given to us.I won't argue you on the fact that the health and wellness space has been absolutely overrun by a spirit of perfectionism in the last generation or two. By the beginning of 2020, we were experiencing a worldly standard being set around how to steward health that had nothing to do with trusting or glorifying God, and everything to do with "keeping up with the Joneses" (or whichever influencer you followed and most related to over on social media). And I'm talking about faith-based health and wellness educators and influencers, too!Stewarding health became an exhausting and overwhelming feat. And as a collective, it seems many of us decided to quietly compromise on the standard of how to care for the gift of health God had given us as we took to writing some "simpler" standards of our own:"You don't have to be that strict about clean eating. It's all too much. Just do the best you can.""It's so expensive to eat unprocessed, whole foods. Just do the best you can.""And isn't it so overwhelming to try to figure this all out at the same time? Balance, Sister. Just do the best you can."And with that, "Do the Best You Can" became the new standard. "Kinda Crunchy." Even in Christian circles. In fact, I heard it the MOST from Christian influencers. Somehow we had become convinced that "being too hard on ourselves" was worse than the difficulty of upholding a Biblical standard. Not that the standard we were holding previously was Biblical, mind you. But instead of determining to find the real Biblical Standard and making that our guide and our goal, we just decided to "Do the Best You Can." Honestly, I believe we took an unauthorized break. To me, that's what "Kinda Crunchy" has come to mean.On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast we're chatting about the five main reasons I see for why we began to settle for this "kinda crunchy" and "just do the best you can" standard when it comes to stewarding our health, and then I'm sharing a simple Reset Roadmap you can follow to Biblically steward your health and wellness without overwhelm and burnout.

#172// This is a topic that has the potential to redraw relational lines in an instant.Have you ever lost an "IRL" friend as a result of posting something "provocative" on social media that referenced religion or politics? If you lived through 2020 and had any views that tracked with medical freedom or disagreeing with "the government," and posted about them, I bet you did. My husband and I lost a few, I can tell you that.But does the risk of agitating certain relationships justify staying silent on certain matters God has told you to make a sound about? Here's the thing . . .What you make a sound about -- even the sound you make on social media -- should really be driven by only one thing: Has God given you the grace and the permission to say that thing to the people He's called you to serve?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're dismantling the lie that says you should *never* post about religion or politics in your business or ministry feeds. We're getting down to what the Bible actually has to say about what we should speak up about and what we shouldn't.

#171// Waiting on God rarely requires you to stay still.In fact, truly waiting on Him will always produce movement. Don't believe me? Read Isaiah 40:31. It says when we wait on God we will . . . MOVE! We'll rise up, we'll run, we'll walk. And we'll do all of it while not getting overwhelmed or burned out. Amazing, right?The key to waiting on God *the right way* and in seeing Him move on your behalf lies in the true definition of the word WAIT. On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're unpacking what it really means to wait on the Lord and how this simple perspective shift can bring alignment and acceleration like you've never experienced before. If you've been *waiting* for Him to move and have felt like the answer is taking "forever," this may just be the message you've been waiting for (see what I did there? *wink*).

#170// As we step into a new Hebraic calendar year (5785) . . . On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm bringing you a message I shared at my home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, around a word for the new year 5785 -- BEHOLD Immediately Now! The Hebrew new year begins with Rosh Hashanah, which was celebrated from October 2nd through 4th of this year. The Lord had been speaking to me about BEHOLD for the entirety of September, so when He began to speak to me on September 22nd about beholding, I wasn't surprised. But it was the *Immediately Now* part that arrested me. He showed me five Biblical steps to BEHOLD Immediately Now. Would you like to see the acceleration He wants to bring to this new year? Are you ready to embrace the lifestyle that will keep you in lock step with what God wants to do in the earth *Immediately Now*? If so, Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#169// One of the questions I get asked the most by ambitious, Jesus girls looking to launch into something new is, "So, how do I get my husband on board with this?"As a multi-passionate woman who wants to do #allthethings while being mindful of my marriage and family, it can feel a little tricky at times to keep everything in balance. This is especially true when I feel the Lord nudging me to start something new with Him that will require me to carve out some time, energy and effort from somewhere else to apply to the new thing. This is generally where it becomes apparent that I'll need to be having a conversation with the hubs. You been there?Even if your husband is super supportive of everything you dream up to do, he's likely still going to have questions and even possibly some concerns when it comes to your shifting time, energy and effort around. You're going to have to have a conversation, right? Wouldn't it be good to know how to conduct a conversation like this in such a way that it's very easy for your husband to hop on board and maybe even help with the transition you're suggesting?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing four simple yet powerful tips for how to approach a conversation like this with your husband that'll produce less friction and more agreement.

#168// "Boundaries" has been a buzz word for decades, but we haven't talked enough about what I believe is the most important step in setting boundaries . . . the right place to START.For the last few decades, *boundaries* have been a real hot topic, especially in Christian circles. What's wild to me is how many "Christian Influencers," pastors and teachers are showing up on social media and posting unbiblical advice around boundaries. It's shocking!As followers of Christ, filled with His Spirit, when we post or speak publicly, we MUST fact check ourselves. This means running everything we say and post through the filter of the Word of God. This is our Standard, and if we're teaching anything that departs from this Standard, we're edging into Ezekiel 13 territory (go read it when you have a minute and the fear of the Lord will set you straight, promise!).Jesus said in John 5 that He only did and said what He saw the Father doing and saying. And He constantly addressed things with straight-up Scripture. Consider His showdown with the devil in the desert, yeah? This Standard is now our Standard, in Christ Jesus. So, when it comes to talking about and teaching around boundaries, it's no different for us.Popular psychology may highlight the setting of boundaries externally between us and others as the place to start, but I see something different when I read the Bible. It's clear, over and over in Scripture, God calls us to set boundaries within ourselves first.Setting boundaries within ourselves before we start to build and set them externally will change the nature of how we set boundaries with others, and will make those boundaries we do set more effective and less emotionally and mentally overwhelming as we hold and maintain them. Who doesn't want more of that?!On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm going to show you the 3 different types of personal boundaries you need to set within yourself first that will enable you to set more effective, less overwhelming boundaries with others over the long haul. Do you know you need this clarification around Biblical boundaries? Are you ready to reduce the friction in boundary setting with others? Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#167// It's a sign the enemy's been in your fields when you're not seeing the fruit come forth in its due time.Let me ask you . . .Are you letting the enemy into your fields? Are you somehow participating in the destruction he's come to deliver? If I can be direct -- Do you think you could be playing a part in aborting your own breakthrough?None of us wants to think that we would knowingly and/or willingly be cutting off our own fruit before it's time, but when you allow yourself to get disappointed a few times, and then allow that disappointment to harden into deep despair or bitterness, you can find yourself in a cycle that automatically opens the gate. Now the foxes are in the field, ready to spoil your harvest!But you weren't made for constant defeat and a cycle of loss, my friend. You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. You were made for breakthrough! It's time to break the cycle and see the fruit, fully formed and harvested, delivered to your table. It's time to celebrate as we bring in the sheaves with shouts of joy! (Psalm 126)On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're talking about how it actually happens that we find ourselves participating in blocking our own breakthrough. But don't think the delays you've experienced will go wasted! I'll be sharing three different upgrades God gives us as we learn how to stop partnering with the enemy in this blocking the blessing madness. You ready?

#166// God provides at a point. A certain place. Do you know where that is?Seventeen years ago, the Lord highlighted 3 John 2 in the NKJV to me, and I've never been the same. It launched my first ministry -- The Positioned to Prosper Personal Finance Course -- and caught me up into a heavenly understanding of true prosperity and how God really provides.The starting point for me was to truly understand Biblical prosperity. Real prosperity. Not the kind of prosperity you hear haters on social media screaming about when they see a pastor in a private jet or enjoying a beautiful home and an abundant bank account. But the real thing that envelops not only financial wealth, but also health and relationships and mindset and purpose. True Prosperity is a "full being" experience in the Lord.Once I could see what real prosperity looked like from the perspective of God (Ephesians 2:6-7! It's such a gift), we then moved into me understanding HOW to get positioned for this sort of provision. In our New Testament, other-side-of-the-cross reality we live in, getting positioned to prosper consists of just two things beyond belief in Jesus. Do you know what they are?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm going to share the two things you need to be doing to get positioned to prosper so you'll be at the exact right place at the exact right time with the right heart, ready to receive His provision. I'm also going to tell you what the true POWER of this positioning can really be in the life of a believer. Are you ready for this? I'm so excited to share out of my own 17-year journey with Biblical prosperity. Go grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#165// It's Not Enough to Have a Vision.I know, I KNOW! I'm the girl who's always telling you how VITAL it is to have a Word from the Lord. To have the revelation and the download written down so you KNOW where you're headed (you go where you're looking, Sis!). I mean, we quote Habakkuk 2 around here a LOT! But still, I'm here to tell you that having the vision, though important, is NOT enough.Neither is effort. Doing lots of "busy things" in the hopes it'll produce is just going to wear you out. Overwhelm lies in wait for you down this road, my friend. No, what you need is a *winning strategy,* preferably from the Lord, that aligns with HIs word and promise over your life. And that's not just my opinion. You know we're going to look at the Good Book . . . When we look at people like Gideon, Joshua, Joseph (Mary's eventual husband) and Moses, we find God gave them more than just a vision or a revelation to get them where they needed to go. He also gave them each a strategy that contained three very specific components. And I want you to know, when God gives YOU a winning strategy to build the vision He's called you into, that strategy will likely have these three components in it, too.On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing those very specific, three components that tend to show up inside every winning God-strategy we're given. If you're looking to build something big and beautiful to the glory of God in this season, you're going to need a winning strategy with these three things built in. If you're ready to learn what they are, and how to implement them with excellence in this season, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#164// Disappointment has driven me to try to quit my purpose and assignment no less than four times in the last six years. Don't be like me, Sis. The relief you think quitting will bring just isn't there. Not even a little bit.I'm getting super vulnerable on this episode because, if it's possible, I want to save you from making the same mistakes I've made, and from going around the proverbial mountain any more times than God deems absolutely necessary. Want to know what my "Goliath" has been over these last few years?This thought, born out of disappointment and fear: THIS. ISN'T. WORKING.From the time I was born until I left the marketplace at age 34, I lived what felt like a spectacularly favored life. Everything worked out for me. Everything. And I'm not just saying that. I actually had a girl tell me once that she spend a couple months mad at me because things seemed to always work out for me so well and with ease. All I could say at the time was, I guess favor ain't fair. But it wasn't that my life was easy. I faced significant challenges growing up -- relationally, with self-esteem, health-wise, financially. But as I faced each challenge, the solutions and the resources I needed seemed within my grasp. I had a rhythm of consistent breakthrough and victory going. #ThankYouJesusBut then I left my job. I was at the height of my career success, and had I stayed on, I would have only continued to grow and soar. But I felt the Lord directing me to hang up my tax accounting hat to move into mothering and ministry, so I obeyed. The price tag for that obedience was steep (I share about that in the episode), but I trusted God because He'd always come through for me (and quickly) up until then.This one step of obedience launched me into a sixteen year season of wilderness living where it has felt, many times, like the favored life I once had was just a dream. And that's when "Goliath" started showing up for me. That thought that started out so small -- "this doesn't seem to be working." -- has grown over the years into a full-sized giant, with a full and thunderously loud voice, shouting with intimidation -- THIS. ISN'T. WORKING!What do you do when it's taking such a long time to see the GOOD things God has promised you come to pass? How do you wake up and step into your day -- day after day -- when everyday feels just like the last one -- an eternal groundhog day -- and you're just not seeing the breakthrough, even a little bit? How do you get to the place where you can truly believe:It's going to work this time!On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing my sixteen year journey of silence, disappointments and failures, and five powerful lessons I learned, as I've endeavored to see it (finally!) work this time. There is one particularly powerful revelation I'm sharing that is sure to shift your experience as you set your heart on the truth and knowledge found in the goodness, the grace and the faithfulness of God.

#163// I'm comin' in HOT on this one because it's TIME to do the DANG THING! We've gotta stop dragging our feet.

#162// You were made to do BIG things in Christ Jesus, Sis. That's why the enemy will try to get you to self-sabotage.Have you ever been working on something and believing God for the outcome, only to lose faith all of a sudden and find "really good reasons" for taking an extended break or quitting all together? Have you ever found yourself blowing up and exiting a situation or relationship only to think afterwards, "That was a bit dramatic. Why did I do that?" Or how about straight-up quitting because it's "obvious" that you don't have the time, resources, talent, support or gifting necessary to get the job done anyway? Friend, those are all examples of self-sabotage.Self-sabotage is a self-protective coping mechanism. Sometimes we want to bail before we get abandoned or we want to have some level of control over the "inevitable" failure that seems to be coming. We want to regulate the pain and suffering we're experiencing on the road to the promise, so we create scenarios and situations where it seems "impossible" to do anything other than stop or quit or fail. On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing three little lies we tell ourselves that are sure signs of self-sabotage. I'll then share practical strategies for breaking the cycle so you can stop throwing your own self under the bus to get back to making progress on your God-given assignment. Sound good?

#161// Have you ever noticed that progress doesn't always follow a straight line?And yet, all of humanity is taught how to plan for progress in a linear fashion. Start with the desired outcome. Now figure out what steps need to happen in order for you to arrive at said outcome, and then put them all in order. Maybe now you add a time estimate for completing each step, and you then you figure out how long the process will take overall. Now you put it all in your calendar and get to work!But then, inevitably, something doesn't work according to the plan. Maybe one step takes longer than expected or another part doesn't work out the way you thought it would. You find yourself "off on a tangent" and, if you're like me, maybe you start to blame yourself for getting "lost" on what was supposed to be a simple journey from point A to point B. Have you ever been here?It can feel even worse if the project you're working on involves a God-promise. When we're working towards something we *know* we heard God say was up ahead for us, we can tend to get more overwhelmed and stressed out because, well -- "God SAID!"So how do we navigate the journey of pursuing a promise without losing hope or getting stuck (or quitting) along the way? That's what we're getting into on this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast.

#160// How do you *know* if you're focused on and working towards the "right thing" right now?Is it just me, or do you tend to get a little (or a lot) overwhelmed if you don't know *exactly* what you should be doing *right now* while working towards a goal or a particular outcome? It doesn't even have to be an imminent deadline. I just like to know that I'm "on pace" and moving in the right direction. I don't want to waste my time!I've found that this overwhelm can ramp up even more if the reason we're transitioning into a new season or assignment is because something else has unexpectedly ended or if the new thing came up super fast and we didn't have a lot of time to think it through first. But I think the worst overwhelm gets served when we've already stepped into something new and have started moving, and then hit a massive roadblock. Now we're questioning whether we're in the right spot, if we're doing it right, or if we even heard God right about this assignment in the first place. Have you ever been here?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I want to talk about how you can *know* (like, deep down in your spirit kind of knowing) that you're working on the right assignment for the season you're currently in.

#159// Underneath the myriad reasons we give for why we can't take time to rest right now lurks a common root cause: We simply do not feel safe to slow down and rest.

Specifically the fear that, if you stop and stay still for any amount of time, you won't be safe. Something bad will happen. I know, it's uncomfortable to think about.Years ago when I was wrestling with a bout of severe postpartum anxiety, I suffered from a symptom called akithisia -- a constant felt need to pace and keep moving with a severe sense of dread and heightened anxiety when you try to sit down and be still, even for a minute. I began to research the root cause of this condition and came to understand that my body actually thought I was in danger 24/7 and needed to keep moving. My nervous system kept sending signals to "MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" I literally didn't feel safe to rest.But even when I got my PPA worked out and was feeling better, I still experienced moments of dread and heightened anxiety when I thought about being still, sitting with my thoughts or simply "doing nothing." And I began to realize that I was stuck in a cycle of hypervigilance that never really left me. And the roots I uncovered beneath hypervigilance are what prompted me to record this podcast episode. Hypervigilance becomes a lifestyle when you don't feel safe to rest and trust God in the moment, and it'll run you ragged.On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're digging into the protective coping mechanism called hypervigilance and how it perpetuates a lie we've learned at some point in our lives that we "really aren't safe if we stay still and rest." I'll start us off with some Biblical truth around rest and our capacity and need for it, and then I'll share four practical strategies for helping you to step out of hypervigilance and into the kind of trust in God that *makes* you to be able to lay down in green pastures (Psalm 23). Are you ready to rest without stress, my friend? If so, Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#158// Have you found yourself "rescheduling" your quiet time to "tomorrow" so you can deal with more "pressing" needs instead? How many times does that need to happen before you start to see a negative shift in your mood, energy, attitude or productivity?The Daily Quiet Time. It's like a foundational habit in the life of a born again Christian. Until it isn't. For many of us, life just starts to get in the way: a new job with an earlier starting time, a baby or a toddler who makes the morning less of a routine and more of a "spin the wheel" surprise, or maybe even a health situation that's requiring a bit more sleep in the AM. But is our daily connection with God really a negotiable? Will we wind up with anything in that deal if we give it up, day after day?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing the reason why you cannot afford to miss your daily quiet time. And I've got science to back it up, Sis. I'm also showing you how to plan a simple yet effective 30-minute quiet time you can do each and every day, even if you need to shrink those 30 minutes down to 15. Sound good?

Knowing how to break the cycle is the key to getting unstuck and moving with momentum again.Ever been stuck as the same negative thought plays on repeat -- over and over -- in your mind?

Maybe you even wake up to it and then you find it setting the cadence of your entire day . . . and mood.These negative thought loops *can* be broken.

#154// So, Harrison Butker "went and did it" when he shared during his commencement address at Benedictine College that he suspected many women will find their greatest fulfillment in the vocations of marriage and motherhood. And the internet. Went. WILD.Quite frankly, I find it fascinating that so many people who do not identify as staunch Catholics actually cared about his comments at all. I mean, WHY do we care? Why are we even listening to a commencement address being shared at a traditionally conservative, Catholic college if we don't go there, have kids graduating from there and/or are not Catholic? I believe it's because of the "outrage mentality" and "cancel culture" we've curated into our online platforms over the last decade, and I think this is dangerous on many levels. But primarily it's making folks forget that (a) not everything applies to us, and (b) we don't have to "weigh in" with our personal opinion on things that don't apply to us. But I digress.On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I want to unpack this question, "Can Christian Women Be Breadwinners?". Because, in light of this "women's rights whirlwind" that got set off when folks started responding to Butker's statements, we would do well to get into the Bible and see what the Word of God has to say about a woman's role, specifically around working outside the home and bringing in an income. Is God "cool" with a woman working outside the home and "bringing home the bacon?"Are you ready to unpack some scripture on this and get down to what the Bible has to say about our core role and responsibilities as godly women and what this means to our purpose and positioning in life?

#153// You can't beg, borrow or buy more time in this life, but you *can* do things to increase the quality and impact of the years you've been given when you steward your health well.I became a certified holistic health coach almost a decade ago because I felt the Lord leading me to do so. He spoke two things to me in 2014 that inspired me to embrace my role in helping His people in the area of their health:First, He reminded me that His Body, the Church, *should* be the healthiest body on the face of the planet, and yet we are not. The statistics around illness and death are no different for those within the Body than they are for the general public. With everything we have available to us -- the blood of Jesus, His stripes that He bore for us, the alive and active Word of God, prayer for healing, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit -- we should be walking in a very different experience when it comes to our health. This fired me up to help God's people to apprehend every good thing He has won for us including vibrant and robust health in this life.Second, He inspired me with a passion to teach people how to steward their own health in such a way that they'd live long enough and strong enough to do and be all He created them for. I have such a fire on the inside of me to help people pick up their own personal responsibility and sufficiency in Him when it comes to stewarding their health excellently. Zeroing in on the seven pillars of wellness without overwhelm has been a big part of articulating how folks can step into this responsibility and sufficiency powerfully without being constantly plagued with stress and anxiety as they're walking it out.On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing the seven pillars of wellness without overwhelm and a little bit about why you really need to embrace an approach of stewarding your own health well right now. It's time to be discipled and apprenticed in the fullness of life, and this includes the area of health and wellness. If you don't have your health, how will you GO for Him, my friend?

#152// God made man on the sixth day and then He rested. Which means man's first day of existence was a day of rest and reflection. We were designed to do all things from rest first.I remember having this revelation almost ten years ago when listening to a talk by Graham Cooke -- "If God brought man into the world and then immediately immersed him in rest, why am I continually organizing my life and efforts in such a way that I'm working towards and for rest instead of from it? Why am I doing it backwards?" And if I made the adjustment to approach my work and order Biblically -- from Rest -- would I be less tired and worn out? Would I have less to complain about and experience disappointment around?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a word on rest that I recently released at REVIVE Church of Tampa, my home church. We looked at Genesis 1:23-2:3 and Hebrews 3:7-4:13 so we could have a better grasp and understanding of how real rest is the right place to start any and every endeavor in life. Are you interested to know how that works? Ready to experience less worry, weariness and burnout along the Christian road as you bring the Kingdom with Him?

#150 // Compliance only works as long as you're compliant. Willpower is not the fuel that'll get you to breakthrough.Do you need a different experience when it comes to your finances? Maybe you've done all the programs, followed all the plans, used all the budgeting apps "they" told you to, but you're still feeling like "this isn't it." Do you know deep down that you're meant for more in this life, and being bullied by your bank account and budgeting spreadsheets just isn't the road that'll get you there?Here's the truth: Snowball strategies, cash envelopes and "we'll load it all in for you and organize it" budgeting apps are not enough to prosper you financially. If you do not trade in faulty mindsets for a Kingdom mindset around money, and if you won't swap out those compliance and duty habits for something with real LIFE in it, you're going to keep getting the same result every single time you stop religiously following "the program." This is the straight up reality of human nature, my friend.So what can you do to get a different result? How can you experience real breakthrough in your finances and learn to prosper as you steward the resources God has given you?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm going to help you feel safe enough to admit where you really are right now when it comes to your finances, and to actually assess your positioning. Then I'm going to offer you to join me in something that I absolutely know can help you get positioned to prosper in your personal finances. Does this sound like something that could really help you right now? If so, I want you to Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!JOIN ME FOR PROSPER WEEK INSIDE THE ROCC!

#149// To get a different result, you'll have to DO something different.But what do you do when you've been trying to do something different for so long and your results still aren't changing? What do you do when you've kind of been playing with the idea of just settling for what you've got currently because it seems practically impossible to get to where you've been trying to go for so long?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we're unpacking the anatomy of getting a different result, even if you have gotten the same one over and over again, no matter what you've tried. We'll look at the Biblical perspective first so we've got a firm foundation and then we'll jump into the science behind behavioral changes and neuroplasticity and how to practically change neural pathways so you can live on a different "autopilot" to get a different result consistently.

#148// You know that thought of "I just can't anymore" is a scheme of the enemy, right? That's not your own thought, Sis.And you've figured out that the unrelenting temptation to fly under the radar, find a place to pull the covers over your head and just be invisible for a bit, that's coming from him, too, yeah?It's been a long and tough season of the devil working the Daniel 7:25 play on the saints (that's the one where, when he can't kill us or otherwise take us out, he wears us out!), but it's time for us to see it for what it is and to remember who we are, Whose we are and what we're capable of in Christ Jesus. Are you ready to stand up and get your GO back in His name, no matter what?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sounding the alarm for all of us who need to be reminded that we're meant to be a front-footed family of God, a Kingdom people who don't shrink back but, instead, walk by faith and see different outcomes appear, and more-than-conquerors in Christ Jesus who can do #allthethings through Him if we will simply believe and trust and keep going with Him. This is a straight up "Come to Jesus and then run with Him" word, my friend! So, if you're ready to get riled up in the Lord and reminded of what you've been put here to do, if you're ready to get reset, refilled and reminded of your purpose in Him and that it's time to rally, then -- Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#147// If you want to truly prosper in this life, you're going to have to actively steward your health. There's no way around it. But, Hey! Before you hit pause . . . I work primarily with ambitious, multi-passionate, Christian women who want to fully succeed in their life's purpose while fully pleasing the heart of God along the way. These girls . . . They are down to do hard things! But the minute I start to talk to them about actively stewarding their everyday health so they can be around long enough and strong enough to do and be all God created them for, so many of them disconnect from the conversation. They quietly back away.They'll say, "Erica, I'm HERE for your preaching and Bible teaching, for your discipleship sessions and your practical trainings around everything from relationships to finances, and even your Kingdom business and entrepreneurial coaching, but the minute you start to zero in on this health topic . . . " That's where the resistance shows up. Even though these gals will readily admit they are struggling with low energy, erratic mood, inability to lose weight, aches and pains, chronic stress and anxiety, or other nagging health issues, so many of them take the approach of, "I'm just gonna keep on praying and see what God will do." Let me give you a spoiler alert right now: God ain't gonna do anything if you're waiting on Him to do the part that He's actually empowered you to do!Do you see what the real issue is here? It's OVERWHELM. The idea of focusing on wellness from a personally responsible, holistic perspective overwhelms many people because they don't have the baseline knowledge or skill-sets they believe they need (rightly so) in order to steward their health well, and then, when they realize they have to learn something new if they want to be successful, they stress that they don't have enough time in their life to learn it. And that's when more overwhelm rushes in. It's a vicious cycle, and I believe it's a scheme of the enemy designed to keep us stressed and reacting while our health continues to take a backseat for the long haul.Is this you, friend? Do you relate? Are you experiencing this sort of overwhelm while knowing, deep down, it's time to get focused on how you're stewarding your health? If so, this episode is for you! I'm going to be breaking down how to stward your health without the overwhelm by giving you five main areas to focus your attention on, and then I'll give you a strategy for baby-stepping your way to expert-level stewarding without confusion, frustration or burning out in the process. Are you ready for this breakthrough session that'll set you free? Alright then, Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!JOIN THE BEACON LIFESTYLE COMMUNITY!

#146// 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."How are you doing with the will of God in Christ Jesus for you when it comes to rejoicing and giving thanks? Isn't it crazy how we can clearly know what the will of God is for our life -- it's right there in the scripture! -- and still struggle with choosing to do it? Even Paul grieved over this in Romans 6 and 7, right? So why is it that we can know what we need to do, but have such a hard time choosing it? Do you struggle to choose joy and gratitude in the midst of your own hard circumstances? On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast, I'm sharing the message I preached at our last REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out event.

#145//  A transformative discussion with Jessica Chapman on the power of maintaining relational connection as we minister deliverance in Jesus' name.Have you ever experienced deliverance for yourself or been in the room when someone else was receiving this type of ministry? What was that like? Were there parts that were scary? Or maybe aggressive? Did it even "work?"Are you a part of a church that invites deliverance ministers into services as opposed to operating in this ministry "in house?" Or have you ever had to go outside your church family to access the freedom that deliverance brings -- spirit, soul and body? What if it was supposed to be that you could remain firmly planted and receiving, in the house God put you in, while receiving deliverance ministry that got you the freedom you so desperately needed while also maintaining the healthy and necessary familial relationships all around you to help you walk out that newly received freedom?On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm chatting with Jessica Chapman, Director of the Prayer, Prophetic and Deliverance Ministry at REVIVE Church of Tampa, about how we can experience more powerful and lasting deliverance when we receive this type of ministry within the house God has planted us in, with the people He's placed us with.

#144//  As Christians, we know complaining "ain't it," right?Philippians 2:14-16 tells us to do all things without grumbling, disputing or complaining, but there seems to be this thing deep down inside of all of us that needs to feel heard and seen, and that we're not alone in difficult circumstances. And so, we give voice to the pain and suffering, and we're not always aware of the way we're doing it.But then our situations don't improve. Maybe we feel stuck, even. And we start to wonder, "Could it be the way I'm talking about my situation or experience? Surely God understands my need to process this pain and suffering, right?" How do we process out our negative thoughts and feelings around experiences and situations without reaping the negative consequences of grumbling and complaint? That's what we're getting into on this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. Are you ready to dig in? Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#142 // When Jesus said He would build His Church, what sort of Standard do you think He was setting for us to follow? Can we really be Holy and Perfect as the prophets and Jesus exhorted us to be in the Scriptures?On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a message I preached at our last REVIVE Church of Tampa Leader Night on the Holy Standard that Jesus has established in His Church. We're pressing past the discomfort of considering the fact that we're falling so short and making excuses, and heading straight into the beautiful truth that we can be perfected and made Holy and fit for His service when we trust in Jesus and follow Him.

#141// Do you think Jesus was a rebel?Think past the cute Christian statement t-shirts emblazoned with those words and dig into scripture instead. What do you think you'll find? Listen, I'm going to spill the beans . . .While Jesus was definitely a "disrupter" and went against the grain of culture and those in authority, He was perfectly submitted to His Father and aligned with perfect authority. He was the furthest thing from being a rebel you'll ever find! It's this watering down of rebellion (and the twisting of its real nature) that's got the Church in a tight spot these days.A few months ago while sitting in a quiet time with the Lord, I heard Him say this thing to my heart: "Erica, tell the Church: Listen to Me. Do it like this. Do it now." And immediately my heart was flooded with the sense that the heart of the Father was longing to pull His kids out of oncoming traffic that was sent to wreck us. His mercy, mixed with urgency and power, was palpable. This is a NOW Word out of the throne room, Church. This is a message I'm obediently delivering and I pray you will allow the Holy Spirit to have place in your heart as this word finds it's planting place in you.On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm addressing the spirit of rebellion that's infiltrated the Church and convinced her she has to protect and provide for herself at all costs. I'm exposing the roots of this insidious spirit and declaring the antidote so we can be rightly positioned and prepared for what's just up ahead in these end times. Are you ready?
