Welcome to Season 9 of the Susan Beth podcast. If you missed it, we made a big shift last year going from the She Is podcast to using my name, but no worries. The She Is message is alive and it's thriving in the new She Is Awakening seasonal journal podcast that launched this year alongside the seasonal journal. You know, it's hard to believe that nine years ago I took a leap, grabbed my phone, stepped into my closet, and recorded the very first episode of this podcast. If you had told me back then that I'd still be here showing up every week, I don't think that I would have believed you. But here we are and I couldn't be more excited. In some ways, I'm so different from the woman who pressed record that day. But in many ways, the things that were stirring in my heart that I so wanted to give voice to all of those years ago are still very much the same. One thing that has never changed, and honestly, it's grown even stronger, is how deeply in awe I am of God's faithfulness. Our God is so committed to finishing what He started in each of us. So as long as I can, I'll be right here cheering you on, encouraging you to say yes to everything that God has put in you because it so beautifully reveals his beauty and goodness to the world. Thank you for being here, friend. You're so welcome here and you are so, so loved. Season nine, let's go.

Hey, hey, I hope you're doing well. You believe we are heading into the last week of May. And with the celebration of Memorial Day, some of you might be having a long weekend. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. May is a special month of memories that signifies for many walking out of one season of life and into the next. The momentum of May, nestled in the season of spring, is all about growth and things blossoming and blooming around us. As I read some posts from graduates, I can remember all of the feelings that I felt. It's an exciting time, but I know for me, as exciting as it all was, I felt very sentimental about my high school days ending. I knew that life as I had become accustomed to was forever going to change. I knew that all of my best friends in that friend circle, as we all went to different cities and states for school, that more than likely those relationships would not remain the same. It's an exciting time, and it can feel in that moment that everyone in your world is celebrating you and cheering you on. If you receive emails from me, you might notice that I often end my notes with "cheering you on." Those words mean something to me when I'm sending them out to you for you to read. I want you to know that if no one else is in your ear, in your world, cheering you on, I am. As adults, we sometimes feel a void when that encouragement is absent. We can't help but feel it, which leads us to waiting on validation or recognition to continue or move forward fully into something. Maybe you're hearing this and thinking, that's me. There are things that you think about that you want to try or to learn about, but deep down inside, you feel like you have to be invited into that new space. One day, it sunk in for me that many people who stepped out of their boxes did so because they gave themselves permission. I believe that we are being invited and have been given permission by the one who designed and created us. You know the feeling because you have them too. You know the things that tug at your heart that maybe doesn't tug at everyone else around you. There's a reason for that. What a beautiful reminder that spring is the season of growth. And there is plenty of growth for us to witness as we look around in nature, as well as in the lives and all the celebrations taking place around us. I would love to remind you today that the season of spring will continue to come around for you. You don't outgrow seasons. Each and every day is a fresh opportunity to grow in the goodness and knowledge of God and be invited every day to co-labor with Him. My husband, Ron, and I always said to our five kids when they were growing up that we wanted them to be learners and to love learning. It amazes me sometimes that for me, someone that hated classrooms and schools, I'm constantly reading and studying and learning. So here's to learning and loving and continuing to grow into everything that our God planned and purposed for us. Love you guys. And we will talk soon.   Seasonal Journal Podcast: https://susanbeth.com/she-is-awakening-seasonal-journal-podcast   Spring Journal: - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWYN5WF1 Instagram: https://bit.ly/SusanBethInstagram Pinterest: https://bit.ly/SusanBethPinterest   Intro & Outro Music Credit: Music: https://www.purple-planet.com - License Free  Background Music Credit: Alexander Blu https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderBluMusic/   End of Main Talk Music Written & Produced by: Ron Morris Amplify Life Media

In this episode, Susan Beth explores the concept of personal growth and how it necessitates stepping out of comfort zones. Comparing this process to the seasons, particularly the blooming and transformation of spring, she highlights the necessity of embracing discomfort for growth. She emphasizes the idea that our deep-seated desires, instilled in us by the universe's creator, serve as the map to our purpose. Using the metaphor of motherhood, Susan discusses the physical and emotional stretching a mother experiences, leading to nurturing a new life. This life-changing event is a testament to how growth and transformation, though challenging, yield priceless rewards. She then relates this process to personal and professional development, emphasizing the importance of being open to changes and unseen opportunities behind-the-scenes.

In this episode of the Susan Beth podcast, the topic of personal growth amidst everyday "noise" is explored wholeheartedly. Susan takes listeners on a journey exploring how, sometimes, it feels like we are straying away from what society perceives as progress. But in reality, the quiet introspection, the pulling back, is growth in its own, often unseen, way. From her own personal experiences and the analysis of personality traits, Susan effortlessly links these concepts to explain why we often feel conflicted in our journey towards growth. She illustrates how our unique nature and preferences may lead us to perceive our individual growth paths differently from what society or others around us may think. As she navigates the realm of social media and the pressure it exerts on us to meet particular standards, Susan emphasizes the importance of listening to our own individual processes, which may sometimes mean disconnecting from external influences. She defines personal growth as an intrinsic process and encourages listeners to trust the divine desires planted within them. Sharing her personal narrative on loss, dealing with lingering sickness, and navigating change, Susan uses these stories to remind listeners that personal growth isn't always linear, fast-paced, or even visible. It's a unique process that may look different from one individual to another. Susan compels her listeners to listen closely to their inner voice, drown the noise from the exterior world, eschew societal opinions, and fully trust themselves. In doing so, she assuredly wraps every listener in a comforting truth - we are all growing in our own beautiful way, right where we are, just as we should be.

Listen in to find encouraging words and transformational thoughts that stress the beauty in being ourselves, as well as prayers of hope and positivity for this new month.

We'll challenge the comfort that stagnancy brings, and bravely step into the growth that discomfort offers.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Susan Beth Podcast, Susan uses the metaphor of a dance to delve into how we might perceive God's role in the journey of our lives. Drawing parallels with the journey of life and a ballet, she shares insights on how our desires and purposes are nurtured and sustained by the divine hand of the Creator. This episode serves as a reminder that despite the high and low tides in life, our path is being beautifully scripted by a divine force. Trusting in this divine guidance can help us navigate through the dance of life with grace and purpose. Susan shares her reflections on Proverbs 3, 5, and 6 and takes listeners through a journey of trusting God, even during uncertain times. She compares God's guidance to a skilled dancer, leading those who trust his moves to create a beautiful dance out of every misstep. The discussion seamlessly eases into exploring situations that may initially appear and feel negative, curious revelations, and perspective shifts that show how God might be at work in ways we may not immediately perceive. This episode is a comforting serenade to anyone who might be feeling out of step in life, encouraging them to continue trusting in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The discussion concludes with Susan encouraging listeners to trust the divine choreographer of life, even when the dance feels a bit clunky. Stay tuned and you will be reminded of the divine purpose within you and the accompanying beauty of the journey itself.

This sacred occasion invites us to celebrate both a season and a day alike, connecting to our deep roots of faith and spiritual traditions. I share my artistic musings present in seasonal journals, each embodying themes intimate to their respective seasons. This episode features a spring journal, bearing an image symbolizing the transformative power of spring, a season where life rejuvenates from the remains of the deceased. You can download a copy for yourself from the episode notes if you'd like to possess this powerful reminder. The essence of this episode roots back to a profound question: what is the one thing dying to spring up from within you? I believe God doesn't desire you to exist in the shadow of someone you idolize, but to live a life that He purposed for you, embodying your unique intuition in every stride of existence, reflecting His image in the world. I'm deeply passionate about propagating this message because feeling the joy pulsating in every cell of my body is what I long for you to experience. A life where you love God with all you have and savor the love He showers upon you. You exist because you are loved, and your life is a tribute to that divine love. As we progress on this journey, ask yourself: what is dying to spring up out of you? Take your time to ponder. Reflect on your spiritual journey, your divine purpose, and unfold the underlying narratives of your existence. Your path is unique, and following the crowd may misdirect you from your divine purpose. By accepting your personal narrative, you step closer to understanding your spiritual journey and breaking free from societal molds. God has a plan for you, and choosing His path may be challenging but will lead you to beautiful destinations. Let's appreciate the resurrection of dead things to new life. Let's trust the Holy Spirit's divine power to rejuvenate us, awakening our spirits to the beauty and goodness that nourishes our soul and draws people to Him.   Spring Journal: - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWYN5WF1 Instagram: https://bit.ly/SusanBethInstagram Pinterest: https://bit.ly/SusanBethPinterest She Is Awakening Seasonal Journal Podcast: https://susanbeth.com/podcast

In this episode, I explore a question that many of us grapple with - "Is God asking you to do that?" Inspired by a podcast where I found myself wondering just that, I dive into the world of trying to unravel the purpose of God and the purpose of man. It's not a task for the faint-hearted. When we try to untangle these purposes, it's akin to dealing with two intertwined necklaces. It is unclear which one is leading, but most importantly: we need to question whose yoke we are wearing. This gives rise to another vital question - are we choosing to wear the heavy yoke of burdensome law-keeping or adhering to the lighter yoke that Jesus promised? The enemy may try to make us feel like we're missing out, but I am here to remind you that when your heart is towards God and his matters, you will not miss what God intends for you. Discover how exploring this concept can help you navigate through life in the various seasons. Remember, everyone's journey looks different, and that's not a bad thing. My message today is not about figuring out how to find rest amidst chaos, it's more about asking the question - are you supposed to do all this in the first place? Understanding our role in following God is vital. It's not about creating our salvation; it's about surrendering to God's will. Our task is to be formed into the image of Jesus, living out everyday ordinary life centered around this goal. Join me in this episode as we navigate the waters of understanding God's purpose and find the courage to let go of the unnecessary in our own lives. Remember, you're loved, and your Creator is forever faithful. Keep showing up in the world, just as God purposed you to do, because your unique self is exactly what the world needs.   Seasonal Journal Podcast: https://susanbeth.com/she-is-awakening-seasonal-journal-podcast   Spring Journal: - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWYN5WF1 Instagram: https://bit.ly/SusanBethInstagram Pinterest: https://bit.ly/SusanBethPinterest   Intro & Outro Music Credit: Music: https://www.purple-planet.com - License Free  Background Music Credit: Alexander Blu https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderBluMusic/   End of Main Talk Music Written & Produced by: Ron Morris Amplify Life Media

She discusses the idea of remembering and learning from the past, while not being chained by it - forgetting the past and looking forward to the future, but being wary of the disappointments that might occur. The episode concludes with hope and reassurances from the Scripture. No matter what your past looks like, Susan Beth encourages listeners to let everything that needs to be developed in you be developed. She ends on an uplifting note, declaring that hope is ahead and will not disappoint.

Get The FREE Seasonal Journal Week PDF:  https://susanbeth.com/winter-journal-freebie   Susan Beth takes listeners on a journey through a metaphorical 'spring cleaning' of our lives - a process which entails discarding what no longer serves us, reclaiming joyous elements that have been lost, and creating space for new growth. This episode serves as a reminder that every ending is a new beginning, just as every farewell makes room for fresh hellos. Susan draws insights from everyday experiences - such as cleaning, purging, and organizing our homes - and applies these actions to personal and spiritual growth. The process of decluttering is not only about creating physical space, but also about releasing emotional baggage, letting go of familiar but unproductive habits, and setting up effective boundaries. Subsequently, we dive into deep cleaning which necessitates intensive work but culminates in peace and delight. Quoting Song of Solomon, Susan encourages listeners to celebrate the new season and invites them to ponder on what's budding within, waiting to bloom. The ultimate question of the podcast - what is dying to spring up out of you in this season – leads to introspection and inspiration for personal growth. This episode is a must-listen if you're navigating change, seeking growth, or looking for motivation to declutter your life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And remember, like Susan says, each season with its challenges and triumphs is a gift. Just as every day comes with fresh mercies, every season brings with it new grace, and the divine is with you through all seasons of life.   Spring Journal: - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWYN5WF1 Instagram: https://bit.ly/SusanBethInstagram Pinterest: https://bit.ly/SusanBethPinterest The Susan Beth Podcast: https://susanbeth.com/thesheispodcast     Intro & Outro Music Credit: Music: https://www.purple-planet.com - License Free  Background Music Credit: Alexander Blu https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderBluMusic/ Closing Music:  Written & Produced by: Ron Morris Amplify Life Media

Get The FREE Seasonal Journal Week PDF:  https://susanbeth.com/winter-journal-freebie   In our formative years, our identity is often shaped by those closest to us, but ultimately, our true identity is rooted in Christ. As we grow and navigate the waters of life, we begin to understand that our thoughts and perceptions about our identity could inadvertently conflict with God's intended purpose for our lives. The essence of this episode is to encourage you to connect deeply to the Creator and allow His Spirit to guide and strengthen you. I share personal experiences about my search for purpose, about how I've learned that God has given us foundational rules for life, and how learning to live in alignment with these principles forms the bedrock of life. We'll delve into why your true identity lies in recognizing that you're a beloved creation of God, each purposed for good, despite the winter seasons we may encounter in life. We'll also explore how not feeling God's love and connection can lead us to seek fulfillment from our mortal relationships. While these relationships could potentially enrich our lives, they are incapable of nourishing our spirit and soul like our Creator. Here are some thought-provoking questions designed to help you delve deeper into discovering your true identity in Christ. From the words of Psalm 41 11, "You know me inside and out. You hold me together. You never fail to stand me tall in your presence so I can look you in the eye", may you find solace and fulfillment in the arms of the Creator.   Winter Journal: - https://amzn.to/48baCCC   Instagram: https://bit.ly/SusanBethInstagram   Pinterest: https://bit.ly/SusanBethPinterest   The Susan Beth Podcast: https://susanbeth.com/thesheispodcast       Intro & Outro Music Credit: Music: https://www.purple-planet.com - License Free  Background Music Credit: Alexander Blu https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderBluMusic/   Closing Music:  Written & Produced by: Ron Morris Amplify Life Media

As we transit from the last vestiges of February into the vibrant onset of March, we're urged to prepare for our spring journals. The episode draws attention to our weekly focus, ‘Covered'.

Susan reminds us that the supreme assurance we need has been bestowed upon us, and it's our faith that invites us to embrace this divine covering fully. Dealing with control issues, Susan shares a personal situation where her urge to control the outcome of her situation made her repeat her prayers, fearful that God might forget her pleas. In this candid revelation, she brings to light the difference between trusting oneself and trusting God for solutions. Featuring a verse from Psalm that speaks of God's shielding, grounding, and uplifting role, the podcast ends on a thought-provoking note. It leaves you with a set of introspective questions to ponder over the coming week.

In this episode, I revisited a conversation I had back in 2020, the year life as we knew it turned upside down. It's an introspective look at how we can find, or even designate, restful periods in the winter seasons of life. Drawing boundaries and giving ourselves the time to rejuvenate is indeed essential for spiritual, physical, and emotional growth.    

Get The FREE Seasonal Journal Week PDF:  https://susanbeth.com/winter-journal-freebie   In this episode of the Susan Beth Podcast, we discuss the concept of "Weathering Winter", drawing from Psalm 9:9 which states that God serves as a safe haven for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. We explore how this verse can guide us through the brutal winter seasons in life, seasons that often ravage us, leaving us battered and bruised, but also opening pathways for transformation and growth. We delve into how a debilitating storm can bring beauty we never knew existed, even in the form of a soul-crushing season. The prompts we suggest for reflection aim to help your spiritual processing of the transformations that can follow in the wake of a winter storm. Wrestling with things like whether we are resisting the transformation that can follow a storm and if we're truly trusting the shelter God provides in these seasons. Our invitation is to commit to weathering life's winters from a safe and sacred space, walking out with a limp but also thriving, acknowledging that while survival is exemplary, the goal is to flourish.

Get The FREE Seasonal Journal Week PDF: https://susanbeth.com/winter-journal-freebie   Welcome to the latest episode of the Susan Beth Podcast! Susan Beth discusses embracing life's seasons, especially the barren ones, with a newly intentional experience. As believers, we need to trust that we are inherently designed with purpose and that the intuition deep within us is not coincidental, but rather divine guidance. In this episode, Susan delves into the significance of our winter season, symbolizing our life's barren stages. She encourages listeners to find beauty in barrenness and learn from seasons that may seem devoid of growth. These seasons, Susan says, are times when we can experience profound life lessons and personal growth, and deepen our connection with the divine as distractions are removed. She illuminates how these seasons of solitude can lead to inner enlightenment and self-discovery, progress, and strength. Delving deeper into this theme, Susan shares a thought-provoking verse from John Chapter 1 (3-5) from the Message Bible. According to Susan, barren seasons offer opportunities for re-valuation and re-alignment, urging us to live a genuine and God-aligned life. She optimistically holds that, akin to the natural bloom following winter, our barren seasons too precede an awakening and flourishing of all the latent potential within us. The episode concludes with some enlightening and thought-provoking introspective questions designed for listeners to ponder over. Life is truly an ongoing journey from barren to beautiful. Stay tuned to the end for a heartfelt prayer.    Winter Journal: - https://amzn.to/48baCCC Instagram: https://bit.ly/SusanBethInstagram Pinterest: https://bit.ly/SusanBethPinterest The Susan Beth Podcast: https://susanbeth.com/thesheispodcast Intro & Outro Music Credit: Music: https://www.purple-planet.com - License Free Background Music Credit: Alexander Blu https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderBluMusic/ Ending Prayer Music: Written & Produced by: Ron Morris Amplify Life Media

Get The FREE Seasonal Journal Week PDF:  https://susanbeth.com/winter-journal-freebie   In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "rooted." Like the root systems that provide nourishment and stability to plants, our spiritual roots play an essential role in sustaining our lives, providing nourishment, stability, and a connection to something greater. Just as the roots of a tree delve deep into the soil, we can establish spiritual roots to ground ourselves in times of uncertainty and challenge. This spiritual foundation serves as a source of strength and resilience, nourishing our souls in times of adversity. Drawing parallels with root systems of trees, we take a look at how spiritual roots offer anchoring and stability against life's challenges. As a tree's roots provide it stability against external forces such as wind and storms, strong spiritual roots help us navigate the storms of life with resilience. Just like trees utilize their roots for absorbing essential nutrients and water, facilitating growth and health, our spiritual roots serve as sources of nourishment for our souls. They facilitate spiritual growth, and resilience and offer a deep, enriching experience of connection with the divine. We also discuss how a spiritual journey marked by resilience, compassion, and purpose can emerge from being rooted. Even though such progress often goes unseen, like roots working from unseen depths, it doesn't diminish its importance. This opens up probing questions. What is your root source? Is it life-giving and sustaining? How can you be more intentional about your spiritual roots, nurturing growth in your life? Listen on to seek answers and attain a resilient, rooted spiritual life.

She invites listeners to interpret those nagging feelings of desiring something more as divine nudges, inviting them to a richer, more purposeful life. From the monotony of January to the joys of February, Susan encourages you to experience every facet of your journey deliberately. She underscores the importance of being present in every season of life and transforming unfulfilled desires into spirit-guided action.

Framing signs of discontent as divine, she guides listeners toward the pursuit of a higher purpose Exploring the connection between personal discontentment and divine calling, she takes inspiration from biblical narratives that depict temporal suffering and eternal reward, emphasizing that circumstances don't define God's power.

Walk through the weekly Journal prompts around our vulnerability, pride, and the desire to mask our pains and weaknesses. With questions aimed at being vulnerable with God and those closest to you. Engage in the healing process that leads to the ultimate freedom of being naked and not ashamed, as reflected in Psalm 51:17. We close with a heart-warming prayer that acknowledges the beauty and strength that comes from walking through winter seasons hand in hand with God. Finding this episode enriching?
