In this episode, Steph reflects on her recent experience at a live event with her mastermind group, where speakers shared deeply personal and vulnerable stories. She describes how the power in their storytelling was in their vulnerability. Ironically, this kind of vulnerability is the stalemate for so many people. Steph discusses the misconception that failures and hardships disqualify us from sharing our messages, arguing instead that they enhance our credibility. She shares her journey from being guarded to embracing authenticity, highlighting how this shift has positively impacted her relationships and professional life. The episode concludes with the idea that we might not have to use a proverbial hammer to have big impact, but rather use the hammer to break apart our own guardedness so we can impact people with our humanity.

Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.” She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one."

After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.

Whether it's overcoming fear, doubt, or old habits, this episode will inspire you to trust in God's plan and run toward the freedom He offers. Are you ready to break free and run for the fence?Verses:Hebrews 12:1-2:Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.JAMES 1:2-4:Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.1 Chronicles 16:11: Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.Hebrews 10:36: You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.2 Thessalonians 3:14: Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed.Galatians 6:9: Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.ROMANS 5:3-5: Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.1 Timothy 12-17 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen. Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.URHERE Information- www.verycaripodcast.com/urhereConnect with Cari:Instagram: instagram.com/carithompsonrnFacebook: www.facebook.com/cari.ayres.3Website: VeryCariPodcast.com

The first message in the Breaking Down Wall Series at Faith City Church with Pastor David Foster.
The second sermon in the series "Breaking Down Walls" at Faith City Church from Pastor David Foster.
What if we lived in a world where we were all in love with each other—not in a romantic way, but in a way that celebrates the greatness in everyone we meet? In this episode, I reflect on how we've built walls around ourselves, shutting others out due to fear of vulnerability and judgment. Imagine breaking down those barriers and embracing the potential in each other. I'll explore how deep, genuine connections can transform our relationships and communities. Let's start living in a world where we lift each other up and real, meaningful connection becomes the norm.

Can Christians and atheists find common ground on the importance of having civil discussions today? That's what Drew (YouTuber: "Genetically Modified Skeptic") and I aim for in this video. Rather than debating questions about the existence of God and the afterlife, as important as these issues are, I ask Drew a ton of questions about his deconversion from Christianity to atheism and how we can have better conversations today across the religious divide.
