You know those quizzes that randomly show up on our social media feeds that inevitably draw us in? They reveal incredibly important information about you like, "Which color matches your personality?" or "Which pizza topping best describes you?" While those quizzes are just fun and games, there IS an underlying truth to them: we all want to know what makes us unique.  We continue this month’s conversation on confident leadership by exploring the world of “assessments,” what they mean in the grown-up world, and learning how they can be used to help you be the best leader you can be. Alli Worthington, speaker, author, coach, and entrepreneur who cofounded the Blissdom Conference, discusses how using popular personality assessments to tap into your personality will help you discover and utilize your most effective leadership style.

I'm with the legendary Gary Thomas to talk about his new book "When To Walk Away". We'll explore toxic relationships, how we can recognize them, and examine how Jesus set boundaries in his own life.  This message from Gary is life-changing, and if you struggle with a toxic relationship in your life, he will equip you with tools to break free in a healthy, biblical way.  In this episode we discuss: 1. The difference between a difficult relationship and a toxic one. 2. Playing spiritual offense vs spiritual defense 3. Why it's so important to break free from toxic cycles   Favorite quotes: 1. If somebody is trying to get you to stop being you or get you to stop doing what you are convinced God wants you to do- for you that person is toxic. It's an attack on your being and an attack on your mission. 2. Jesus had such a freedom to walk away and it wasn't about failing or succeeding it was about the person just not receiving. 3. I walk away from toxic people not to go binge Netflix. I walk away to invest with reliable people. I walk away from toxic relationships into healthy relationships.  In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How can I motivate myself to make changes in my life? (43:08) 2. What's your perspective on the best way to evangelize? (47:58) 3. What's the best advice you can give a woman with a dream? (53:53)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Gary Thomas 2.

I'm with the lovely Rebekah Lyons today to talk about her recent adoption journey, her new pace of life, and how she manages stress and anxiety.    She'll also share how to rest when we experience burnout and how to see those seasons as an invitation for intimacy with God.   In this episode we discuss: 1. Practical advice for those struggling with stress and anxiety. 2. Why she finally agreed to adopt right when she became an empty nester. 3. Why we shouldn't feel guilty for resting.   Favorite quotes: 1. Bravery is moving scared. You have to step into the things that are the most terrifying or they will hold power over you. 2. God doesn't promise that fear and anxiety won't come knocking but He always promises a way of escape. 3. The good thing about fear is that the best way to approach it is exposure.    In this episode I answer these questions: 1. I know you're a business coach but do you also coach people who aren't entrepreneurs? (38:05) 2. Are we supposed to forgive people even if they aren't sorry? How do I keep from getting hurt again? (40:39) 3. How do you handle the guilt of being a working mom? (42:54)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Rebekah Lyons 2. Rhythms of Renewal 3. FABFITFUN Use code ALLI to save $10.00 4.

I'm with the legendary Max Lucado--pastor and author of 44 brilliant books! Max is funny, gracious, and full of wisdom and it was a true joy to have one of my heroes on the show. Today, Max shares all about his latest book on happiness, what he's learned about Biblical happiness in his decades in ministry, and some simple ways we can pursue it.    In this episode we discuss: 1. His book-writing process and how why his editor of 30 years is still brutally honest 2. The roadblocks he sees to true happiness and why it's harder than ever to find contentment 3. Why the simple act of saying "hello" is profoundly important to him     Favorite quotes: 1. Happiness is a deeply rooted contentment in life.  2. I think we can make a great case that God wants us to be happy because happiness makes us healthier, happiness makes us a better husband or wife or parent to our children. 3. Most people are not joyful or happy. Some people are seriously unhappy and so anything we can do to help them step toward happiness is a great service. 4. The big idea in Scripture when it comes to happiness is happiness happens when we give it away.     In this episode I answer these questions: 1. What are some practical things I can do every day to be happier? I want to create an environment of happiness not just for me but for my kids too. (45:29) 2. What is the best faith-based book that you are reading right now and would you recommend it? (49:32) 3. I know so much of building a platform involves putting yourself out there. How do I get over feeling uncomfortable promoting myself? (51:28)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Max Lucado 2. How Happiness Happens 3. Is He Worthy 4. Movies of the 90s 5.

Alli, her husband, Mark, and their five sons live outside of Nashville, TN with the only golden retriever who refuses to retrieve.TAKEAWAYS:Alli's super power is knowing when and how to pivot. She has an uncanny ability to be able to tell what a client needs to do and how to do it to achieve the results they desire. Alli got her first break on the Today Show because of a Today Show producer attending her conference, Blissdom. There is serious POWER in getting out from behind our laptops and meeting people in-person.We are the first generation of mompreneurs building digital businesses, so there is no roadmap for us. It's important that we pave our own way and show others how to successfully manage a business while raising our families.In 2010 Alli had a huge “AH HA” moment when she realized that Blissdom is what she is supposed to do for the rest of her life. She pumped her fist in the air (which is something that is so uncharacteristic of her) and someone captured it on film, and it's her favorite photograph of all time.The speakers at Blissdom aren't allowed to share anything you can Google for free.To get to point A to point B in our business, it's going to take a sacrifice. If you want to take that leap, everything you want is on the other side of that sacrifice.RESOURCES:Check out the blog post that accompanies this episode: www.allisonhardy.com/blog1/episode137Visit Alli on her website: www.alliworthington.comListen to the Alli Worthington Show: www.alliworthington.com/podcastFollow Alli on Instagram: www.instagram.com/alliworthingtonLearn more about the Blissdom Conference: www.allisonhardy.com/blissdomSnag a 50% off coupon for your membership to my favorite project management system, Honeybook: https://bit.ly/allisonhoneybook Get a copy of the 33 Places to Promote Your Lead Magnet for yourself!

I'm with the wonderful Lisa Jo Baker, as we talk about the changes, challenges, and the beauty of being in the middle. Lisa tackles how we can truly develop a healthy mindset that allows us to enjoy and stay present in this fulfilling and fruitful season of life   In this episode we discuss: 1. How to live your middle-age years to the fullest 2. How we can see our bodies as lovely and strong despite changes 3. Why she wasn't afraid to share her muffin top picture with the world   Favorite quotes: 1. I don't need to seize the day. I just need to make time to see it. I don't have the energy to seize the day. I can barely seize the moment to do laundry. But here's what I can do, this is why I wrote a whole book about it. I can see the day. That is a much lower pressure threshold. 2. Somehow as women, we want to erase the marks of time, the things that show what it took to get here. I just believe so strongly, I think about that verse so often that says ‘the Lord has made everything beautiful in its time,' and that applies to us as women. 3. My kid's feelings aren't supposed to be the boss of me. I'm not supposed to be the boss of me. The Holy Spirit is supposed to be the boss of me.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. I have three little kids and can't keep up with all the details. How do you do it with 5 kids? How can I remember all the little things for them? (51:01) 2. How can I introduce God into people whos had zero exposure and not overwhelm them? (58:21) 3. I can't work at home without getting distracted, should I pay for a fancy coworking space? (1:02:15)   Links to great things we discussed:  1. Lisa Jo Baker 2. The Middle Matters: Why That (Extra)Ordinary Life Looks Really Good On You 3. Meghan Trainor: I'm Down 4.

We are marching on with my "Summer Of Favorite Women"! Today, we are with the fabulous Lisa Whittle. I invited Lisa back on the show to talk about pursuing careers we love without guilt, balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and why your parenting doesn't have to be perfect to produce great children.   In this episode we discuss: 1. How to know when your work has become an idol 2. Finding work/life balance 3. How to mold your business mind with your ministry heart   Favorite quotes: 1. I appreciate other truth tellers in my life because I do think when you're healthy and you're operating by the control of the Holy Spirit (which has not always been the same for me by the way) but I think when that happens you can take it and you say I'm ready to hear what someone else has to say to me so I'm going to walk through this world boldly and speak bold things. I want someone to say that back to me because I know that I need to be told in the same manner. 2. (That encouragement) let me have this exhale of, “Well, yeah maybe I just really love what I'm doing. Gosh if God has gifted me to this area, He's called me to this, I should live it.” 3. I think this season (teen years) of mothering is challenging for me and it's amazing. I love it, it's some ways my favorite. But I am dying to myself by kind of letting my own position go in many ways and releasing my kids to the world, believing we've done enough, and just praying. 4. I can't really have a friendship where someone won't be real and raw with me and that doesn't mean I need them to tell them all their business, I just need the things we talk about, whether it be topics or whatever is going on, whatever we're going to be talking about. I need you to be completely real with me about it.    In this episode I answer these questions: 1. What advice do you have with helping our kids deal with acne? (49:15) 2. How should we handle our own inner critic? (54:40How can I make sure my professional email communication is both professional and effective?  3. How can I make sure my professional email communication is both professional and effective?    Links to great things we discussed: 1. Lisa Whittle 2. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara 3.

I'm with the wild and hilarious Melanie Dale who coaches us through the terrifying process of making new friends. We'll talk about how to effectively put ourselves out there no matter our personality type,  the importance of staying authentic, and how to round the "bases" of friendship.   In this episode we discuss: 1. How to bravely make female friends 2. Advice for introverts and extroverts when approaching new friendships 3. The horrifying and hilarious fail that Melanie experienced when she tried to host the perfect girlfriend gathering in her home   Favorite quotes: 1. There are two different kinds of people. There are people who are naturally gifted at initiating and there are people who that's not really their thing. I think if you are an initiator that's a superpower that not everyone has and you need to realize that. 2. I think we affirm people. We're developing a sense of trust. You can share your real beliefs and your real feelings and the way that you do life and the way you're raising kids. You can share that with me and I'm not going to be judgy about it. I'm going to listen and I'm gonna be interested more about you even if we arrive at different conclusions. 3. Don't bother putting on airs because your kids or pets will out you s the faker you are.    In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How can I become a more bold and courageous woman? (45:44) 2. What do I do if I think God is telling me one thing but no one in my life supports it? (56:50) 3. I'm multi-passionate in my pursuits, can I launch my brand and focus on multiple things at once?  (1:01:44)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Unexpected.org 2.

I'm with the bold and brilliant Kat Armstrong and she tackles the role of women in the church and how we can break away from unbiblical expectations and tradition. She shares amazing insight from Scripture and women in history to inspire us to lead strong, stop hiding, and fulfill our purpose.    In this episode we discuss: 1. Why most Christian women downplay their strengths 2. The inspiring role of women in Scripture 3. How the Church can heal and lead out in women's issues    Favorite quotes: 1. We need both genders working together in partnership to show the watching world what it means to love God when we're all in for Jesus. 2. We ask about women, “Is she going to be submissive?” When really the question should be “Is any Christ follower submitting to the Holy Spirit?” 3. Submission, I think, has really become the capstone ‘this is what a godly woman is like' and I think we really have gotten away from the fact that the fruit of the spirit should be the hallmark characteristic of any Christ follower whether they are a man or woman.    In this episode I answer these questions: 1. What is something small that I can do every day to enjoy life more? (47:56) 2. How can we keep our boys ages 2 and 4 engaged in church? (51:27) 3. What simple business truth do people not understand?

I'm with the delightful Christi Straub. Christi is a licensed family and marriage counselor. Christi shares about the challenges she sees most families facing today. She also talks about why owning and naming emotions is so crucial, both for parents and children.   In this episode we discuss: 1. Breaking the busy cycles in family life 2. The most important thing our children need from us 3. Why emotional safety is a vital part of your family's health   Favorite quotes: 1. I think once we start to really see ourselves as just a human, or our spouses as human, and our kids as humans, we start to recognize our individual strengths and weaknesses and we're not trying so hard to create little super beings that they're not going to be. There's a whole lot of rest and peace and purpose that comes from that! 2. A feeling is just a feeling, it's not in charge of you. 3. We have to first name and recognize what we're feeling in order to gain control of it so it doesn't get to control us. 4. Are we creating an environment that is emotionally safe? Meaning that emotions are talked about and that starts with us. Are we modeling emotions?   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How can I get my kids to do chores? They're 6 and 8. (47:54) 2. What is your take on the law of attraction? (51:46) 3. How do I know if I'm ready for a business coach? (56:51)    Links to great things we discussed: 1. Christi Straub 2.

Today we are joined by nutritionist and cleaning living enthusiast Alexa Schirm. I wanted her back to the show as a repeat guest to get practical tips on how to make small changes in our beauty and health routines that add up for big benefits.   In this episode we discuss: 1. How our beauty routine can help or hurt our overall wellness. 2. Understanding our hormones and why they are so important. 3. How certain anti-aging products can actually have a reverse effect.   Favorite quotes: 1. If you really want to come and work with your body and get healthy and lose weight possible, one great place to start is our hormones and the reason is because that's what is communicating with our entire body. 2. What have we learned in the past by giving up a whole entire macronutrient? That we always end up sicker on the other side. Carbohydrates are an essential part of hormone function. 3. Fruit was a gift from God, I just can't say that is safe to give up. 4. Naturally speaking in some cases it is better for women to be a little bit on the heavier side then underweight, fertility speaking. And so it is hard for women to lose weight, it's not something that our bodies naturally wants to do and do it well. In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How do I overcome a victim mentality?  (46:13) 2. Do I have to go to church to be a Christian? (53:25) 3. How long should I work for free in hopes that it will pay off in the long run?

Blissdom focuses on four main tracks: Business + Entrepreneurship, Writing + Speaking, Podcasting, and Photography to Video. Ten years ago, Allie and her family lost everything when her husband's job came to a sudden and drastic end. That's when she got very, very serious about figuring out how to create a business on the Internet and started her own online business.Alli co-founded BlissDom and BlissDom Canada, the single largest international women's small business conference in the world.

In this episode, we are joined by business powerhouse Ruth Soukup. Ruth shares her incredible journey of overcoming depression, suicide attempts, and self-harm to becoming a healthy mom and wife and successful entrepreneur. Ruth also shares why her motto "Do it Scared" is so important for her both in life and business.   In this episode we discuss: 1. Why you should bravely take action in your life and business, even if you're terrified 2. How to recognize your unique brand of fear 3. How to break through debilitating cycles and find courage   Favorite quotes: 1. Stop chasing the numbers that you think mean you're popular and start chasing the numbers that are actually going to make a difference in your business. 2. So often people think that “well I need more page views or I need more likes on Instagram or I need more followers in order to make more money,” and that's absolutely not true. If you're not leveraging the audience you have, you're never going to be leveraging the audience you wish you had. 3. It is because of those hard times, not despite them, that I'm now able to have the business that I have. 4. There was never one moment when it magically all turned around. I think so often in life we expect there to be this magical moment, you know this huge turning point of saying “oh from now on my life is going to be different.” It didn't work that way for me. 5. No matter how badly you screw up your life, you can always turn it around. 6. Fear impacts us, whether we call it fear or anxiety or we call it this apprehension about moving forward. 7. Once you can start to identify that fear and start to see those patterns in your life, that's when you can start to do something about it.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. What do I need to do to make my skin look great as I near my 40s? (48:26) 2. What should I do if I don't agree with all of my church's teachings? (54:50) 3.

Why the Chick-fil-a logo brought him to tears at a speaking event 3. Why he wrote his latest book for the "fatherless generation"   Favorite quotes: 1. God is not just a bigger version of our earthly father, He's the perfect version of our earthly father. 2. Nothing in life is easy that's worth it. 3. When we come to see ourselves as loved sons and loved daughters of a perfect father living in that blessing it truly frees us to grow up and become everything God is dreaming that we can be. 4. This is a radical time for God to step and begin to rewrite the story of our identities and by that bring us to life to fully live in the potential that God has for our lives.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. I have a busy life, I want to make room for self-development. How should I get started? (42:01) 2. Do I have to get baptized to be saved? (46:45) 3. What is the best way to connect with people I can learn from so I can pick their brain? (48:53)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Louie Giglio 2. Not Forsaken 3.

On this episode, we are joined by the young and wise Jordan Lee Dooley. Jordan shares the amazing backstory of how she started her online business and turned a college hobby into a thriving business. She also shares her raw and real story of dealing with body issues and her journey to complete freedom.     In this episode we discuss: 1. How she turned her side hobby into a thriving business 2. How we can overcome an unhealthy “pressure to prove” 3. Setting boundaries around our goals 4. Her struggle and victory in finding a healthy body image     Favorite quotes: 1. I've found a lot of times the reasons we don't do things or step into new things or start small is really a mindset problem and not a skill-set problem. 2. What we take from social media—what we choose to do with it is actually up to us. And what we choose to internalize is up to us. There is a lot of external pressures, but it is our responsibility as to how we handle those. 3. When you are so focused on what you are missing out on, you are missing out on where you are, what you can actually do, and the power you have. In this episode I answer these questions: 1. What is your favorite beauty splurge this month? I know how you love your makeup. (33:33) 2. My son is in pre-school. We can't decide whether we should send him to public school, Christian private school, or homeschool. What is your advice for us as Christian parents? (35:55) 3. Would you rather hire a nice fool or a reliable jerk? (39:10)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Hold My Girl by George Ezra 2. Cody Johnson (musician) 3. Good To Great Jim Collins 4.

On this episode, we are joined by the lovely Audrey Roloff to talk about her new book co-written with her husband Jeremy called A Love Letter Life.   Audrey and I chat about life as a reality TV star, how to stay creative and flexible as an online entrepreneur, and how to discern the right season for our callings.   She also shares advice for young couples and how she and her husband learned to approach conflict in a healthy way.     In this episode we discuss: 1. Transitioning from Reality TV to entrepreneur. 2. Finding your lane in the season you are in. 3. Balancing work and family life.   Favorite quotes:1. At the end of my life, I don't want to be known for doing 10 things just kind of okay. I want to be known for doing one thing really really well and leaving a legacy in it. 2. Our gifting doesn't outpace our maturity. 3. We may be gifted in something but God still has some maturing to do in that area, or it just may not be the right time and we need to be patient. And even though we may be qualified on paper to do something or have the skills to do something, doesn't necessarily mean that we should. 4. So many people spend all this time preparing for and planning an epic wedding but then they don't prepare or plan for an epic marriage. The wedding day is just a day but your marriage is forever.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. I want to learn more about body language, what can you teach me? (42:33) 2. What do you do when your spouse is saying no to what you think God is calling you to do? Would God give me a dream and not put my husband on the same page?  (48:49) 3. I feel uncomfortable building a platform for myself but I keep hearing that I have to have one. Help! (54:47)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Audrey Roloff 2. A Love Letter Life 3.

I'm with the brilliant Michelle Myers today. She is the founder and CEO of She Works His Way. Michelle talks about the problems she saw that inspired her to start her company, gives tools to help women boldly pursue their calling, and helps us examine our metrics for success. Michelle also shares about her experience in direct sales and gives some insight into how to stand apart in a saturated online market.   In this episode we discuss: 1. Being good stewards of God's grace. 2. The truth of mom guilt. 3. Why convenience can't outweigh community. Favorite quotes: 1. Our businesses were never meant to satisfy us because God loves us too much so he will never allow us to be satisfied with something other than Him. That dissatisfaction is always going to grow as we pursue something other than Him.   2. Am I pursuing success for myself or am I pursuing a purpose that God has put inside of me to do? 3. God has purposely given you life experiences and gifts, talents, and abilities for the purpose of bringing Him glory and serving others. 4. We are being poor stewards of his grace when we lock up the gifts, talents, and abilities he has given us. 5. Guilt is this feeling that weighs you down but it's a feeling, it's not necessarily true. Conviction is with a goal of correction from the Holy Spirit. Anytime we feel guilty, we have to ask ourselves is this guilt or is it conviction?   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. What's a quick happiness tip that I can use every day? (38:42) 2. Does God still do miracles?  (41:45) 3. I know you love online calendars and your remind app, but give me another tip on managing my time. (44:22)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Michelle Myers 2. She Works HIS Way,  Instagram 3.

In 2006, after 12 years of being a stay-at-home mom to FIVE BOYS, Alli Worthington walked into a bookstore and was overwhelmed by the desire to write a book. But about what? She had no idea where to start, so she went home to her computer, got on her dial-up internet (ah, the nostalgia!) and began googling "how to get a book deal."  One of the results told her she could get a book deal if she had a blog and a large following. So... she googled, "what is a blog?" Now, 13 years later, Alli has authored two books, "Fierce Faith" and "Breaking Busy." She's also a podcaster ("the Alli Worthington Show"), an entrepreneur, and co-founded The Blissdom Conference. P.S. - I attended Blissdom in 2013 in Dallas and loved it so much I'm returning this year (2019) in Nashville, and will be a Community Leader again!  In this episode, I asked Alli what gets her up in the morning (she has a very "real-life" answer!); how she stays organized; how she builds community; how she sets boundaries online; and how she decides when to take a risk in her business. Alli also tells us about Blissdom's beginnings, its hiatus, and what we can expect from the conference in 2019. I just love Alli to pieces. She's so down to earth and as a fellow boy mom, I'm inspired by her relationships with her boys.  Follow Alli on Instagram and visit her website at www.alliworthington.com. 

I'm with the wonderful Mandy Arioto, the CEO of MOPS International. Mandy shares about her latest book Have More Fun and the journey that took her from an achievement driven life to a life of richness and enjoyment. Mandy also shares why she painted a soldier pink and why we should muster up one audacious "ask" a week.     In this episode we discuss: 1. Why we all need to learn to have more fun 2. The difference between fake fun and real fun 3. A key to learning to have more fun as a mom     Favorite quotes: 1. Isn't that kinda how our lives work? It's like taking that next step, saying yes and having no clue where that will take us but it will always turn out in remarkable ways. 2. What I recognize over the course of choosing to have more fun is that one of the most important things I can do as a parent is to enjoy my kids and to really embrace all the nuances in any given season they are in. 3. A really essential part of me being a more fun mom was loving whatever stage we were in. 4. When we're not afraid to ask, door open for us that never would have before. 5. I think it's really important to differentiate between fake fun and real fun because real fun restores our body, rejuvenates our soul and fake fun really depletes our reserves. 6. We really need to differentiate for ourselves and determine what do we enjoy.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. I have terrible social anxiety. Can you help me feel more confident around others?  (38:49) 2. If someone wanted to start reading the bible for personal growth, where would you have them start? (46:00) 3. How do I balance the work I need to do now with my creative dreams for future projects? (48:28)   Links to great things we discussed 1. Mandy Arioto 2. Have More Fun 3. Pink- Walk Me Home 4.

I'm with the always wonderful Emily P. Freeman talking about how to do the next right thing, writing, and why we need to wear better pants. In this episode, Emily shares a fresh perspective on hard decision making and the underlying hope and power that can be found in the process. She also shares her extensive experience as a writer and entrepreneur and what her creative process looks like when she's exploring a new book idea.  In this episode we discuss: 1. What it means to be a “soul minimalist” and how to make space for things that really matter...and how to let go 2. How our own inner critic can hold us back and why we should refuse to give our critic words 3. Writers are Entrepreneurs.  Emily discusses writing for yourself verses writing for readers…and why all authors need to think like entrepreneurs.   Favorite quotes: 1. Frustration is actually a fantastic catalyst for creativity. 2. Do we need more books in the world? Do we need more great speakers? I don't know, maybe. But I think what we need more than that is people that have come alive. So, if writing that book makes you come alive, than we absolutely need it in the world because that is what we are missing. You. 3. I think we live life so much with some of those narratives that happen beneath the surface and we don't take the time to recognize where they are coming from or whether or not they're true. 4. The only voice the critic has in our life right now is our own voice, whether that's the critic that lives in our head that came as a result of our imagination, or if its a critical voice from our childhood or an actual human person in the world but the only power they have now is the power that we give them. But what if we didn't give them words? How would it change our decision making? 5. Sometimes you have this vivid imagination of what you know the art can be and the fear is what if I can't get to it. If I can't find the pathway to get to the story I know this wants to be and that's where really faith comes in, trusting the process, knowing you are going to have to go through the dark underbelly of the mess to get there. 6. Our bodies have something to tell us and our emotions have something to tell us and if we don't let them speak, they will speak out of turn.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. With your specialized diet, how do you handle family meals? (43:08) 2. What are your favorite Christian podcasts? (45:33) 3. Is Blissdom just for business women? I'm an aspiring author and speaker, would it be right for me? (47:56)   Links to great things we discussed 1. Emily Freeman 2. The Next Right Thing 3. The Wailin' Jennys- Old Churchyard 4.

I'm with Kyle Idlemann discussing the secret to courage, how to live confidently, and why making the decision to not give up is so crucial for us all.   I'm also answering your questions about how I handle family struggles and personal information in my books, moral failure in leadership (yikes), and if you really need systems in your business.     In this episode we discuss: 1. The need for courage 2. The confidence we can have in the midst of trials 3. What weighs us down and how to get through it 4. How to overcome the lies that cause us to quit Favorite quotes: 1. There's a difference between putting your arm around somebody and saying to them “I'm so sorry for what you are going through,” and saying to somebody “Get back out there, this is not the time to give up. This isn't the time to quit.”   2. We want comfort but what we really need is courage.   3. Faith is this idea of sticking with the puzzle even when we don't understand why the pieces come together.   4. As a follower of Jesus, I know who does have what it takes. I know who my confidence can be in. Instead of focusing on what I don't have, we focus on what He offers.   5. Perseverance leads to happiness.   In this episode I answer these questions: 1. How do you deal with writing about family issues and struggles in your books? (39:16) 2. If a Christian commits a sexual sin, is this forgivable? If so, why are ministers who have moral failure asked to step down? (46:12) 3. I'm a creative entrepreneur and I hate systems. So far it hasn't hurt my growth. Do I have to build systems or can I stay successful without them? (53:15)   Links to great things we discussed: 1. Blissdom Conference 2. Kyle Idleman 3. Jimmy Needham: Clear the Stage 4.

I'm with the delightful Christie Purifoy talking about the art of tending our lives. Because God is a placemaker placing us in our lives, and he calls us to tend where we are. This is such a fun conversation and helped me see my own life with new eyes. In this episode we discuss: 1. Our call to place making where we are planted 2. Seeing creation with new eyes 3. The art of tending in our lives Favorite quotes: 1. When we guard our hearts too much, we also miss out on too much. We only have one life and the years are ticking by and so wherever we are, I think there's something there for us that is worth loving. 2. It's not just about shaping the places where we live and loving the place we live. It's also about recognizing all the places shapes us and the ways those places nourish us. 3. I really think that our God is a placemaker God. He not only created this world for us but he carved out special places in it like the garden of Eden or the promise land.   4. When we're tending our special places, we are living out our role as image bearer really of this placemaking God.   5. The things that we most fear are really not worth fearing because God will be there and it won't be as bad as we think like his comfort will be that real.       In this episode I answer these questions: 1. I recently parted ways with my best friend of 10 years. How do I grieve someone well who isn't actually dead? (29:41) 2. If a Christian commits suicide will they still go to heaven? (33:14) 3. How can I find and connect with a literary agent for a long-term relationship? (34:43)     Links to great things we discussed: 1.
