Too may Christians, in fact, way too many Christians, are living lives that fall so far short of the life that Jesus promised. When Jesus promised power, they instead end up living a life of powerless-ness. I wonder if you know anyone like that. Resurrection Power I wonder if this scenario sounds at all familiar to you. At some stage, way back when, you decided to believe in Jesus. Perhaps you, like me, can remember the day that you took that step. Or maybe like many people I know, you can't remember a time when you didn't believe in Jesus. So you've believed … and believed … and believed … and somehow life doesn't seem to get any better. You seem to have the same challenges, successes, failures … whatever, as all the other people you know who don't believe in Jesus. In fact, often times, they seem to be living a better life than you are and on top of that, they're not wracked by guilt the way you are, because by not believing in Jesus, they don't have to worry about the idea of temptation, or falling short of God's ideals, or any of that stuff. Does that sounded all familiar? Sadly, it's de rigour for many a Christian. Most Christians in fact. The Christian life doesn't seem all it's cracked up to be. Wasn't it Jesus who said: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. (John 10:10) So where is that abundant life (the original Greek word used there actually means super-abundant!) Where is this super-abundant life that Jesus promised us? Why is everything so difficult? Why is it that I'm not filled with the joy and the excitement that I first felt when I gave my life to Jesus? Can I tell you, I speak to a lot of people, all around the world, who come to me with basically that scenario; basically that same story. Here it is in a nutshell: I know that my life isn't what it's meant to be in Christ. I know that. But I don't know why. I don't know what to do about it. And that's why today we're kicking off a brand new series of messages called "Power Unlimited". Because the thing that's lacking in the lives of these people – perhaps in your life too – is the power to live the life that Jesus promised us. The devil comes along and whispers in our ear You're not good enough for God. And actually He's right. That's exactly what the Apostle Paul says of himself (and remember God called him to write almost half of the books of the New Testament). For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am of the flesh, sold into slavery under sin. I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. But in fact it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. (Romans 7:14-21) So Paul, as it turns out, has exactly the same problem that you and I have. But happily, he doesn't give up, because the old Paul, God bless him, also has the answer. The only answer that has the power to make a difference: Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:24) You see I have some very good news for you today. Listen carefully so you don't miss it: God has already placed within you all the power that you need, to live the super-abundant life that Jesus died and rose again to give you. God has already made the resurrection power, the very same power that raised Jesus from the dead, available to you, here and now, to live the super-abundant life that Jesus came to give you. I know, I know … you don't believe me. Good, you shouldn't believe me, it's not within my purview to grant you that power. But will you believe what God says in the Bible: I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power. God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:17-22) Do you see? Paul's prayer for the Ephesians is that they would discover the immeasurable greatness of God's power for us who believe … the very same power that raised Christ from the dead. Each year we celebrate Easter, the death on the Cross (which receives most of the focus) and the resurrection (which frankly, we don't focus on as much). But this resurrection is the evidence of the immeasurably great power that is available to you and me, so that we can live a new life. The life that Jesus promised. As Bible teacher Casey Treat once said … we need to stop praying for power, and start praying with power, the power that we already have. One of my Bible college lecturers from years ago, Dr Barry Chant, once said that if he were to transliterate the original Greek words used there for immeasurably great power, it would sound something like this: hyperballistic, megathonic, dynamic power! Do you get it? Do you realise the immeasurable greatness of God's power that He has placed at your disposal to live your life for Christ? Hello, wake-up! And the purpose of this power, the whole point of this power, is to enable us to live the new life, the born-again life, the resurrection life, the super-abundant life, that Jesus came to give us. Yet so many Christians, most Christians, fail to live that life for one reason and one reason alone. Because they don't lay hold of that power. We live on a spiritual battlefield. The Apostle Paul puts it this way: … our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:12-17) No I'm an old soldier from way back. And I can tell you that as I look at each of the elements of that spiritual armour that Paul lists there, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes, the shield the helmet, each of them those is a defensive piece of armour. Defence is important to protect yourself, but you don't win a war by defending. To win, you have to attack. And the only offensive weapon in that list is … what? The sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God! That's the only attack weapon in the spiritual armoury that God has given you. And the truth is that most Christians leave it in its scabbard. They leave the sword of the Spirit at home, and then they wonder why the devil keeps on winning! And that … that's something we're going to talking about in the rest of the series.   The Power to Change As you can imagine, I speak with a lot of people. People who respond to this radio program, people I meet in my travels, people who've hear me speak and want to know how to apply it to their lives. And most people, come to me with a problem. This is working in my life … and I just don't know why. That isn't working in my life … and I don't know what to do about it. I want to follow Jesus … but Satan keeps on winning as he tempts me with this sin or that sin. Over and over again, I hear the same thing, the same question, the same problem, the same frustration in people's voices. Why isn't my life all that Jesus promised it would be?! It's a question that plagues many a Christ follower. It causes many to fall by the wayside. It causes many people to live a life that falls so far short of all that it could be in Christ. To my way of thinking, this is one of the greatest tragedies playing itself out in the Kingdom of God today. And just like many of the lifestyle and diet related illnesses that are killing people across the globe, this is a sickness that is completely avoidable. Here is what I see happening in God's Kingdom, amongst God's people. The societies in which we live are moving further and further away from God. Look at the United States. A country of religious freedom, founded by the pilgrims, who came to the land to have the freedom to worship God. A nation who, on its dollar bill, has the words “In God we trust”. And now, a country, where it's illegal to pray at school, illegal for an officer in the military to share his faith or a Bible with a soldier, a country where four in ten unborn children are 'terminated' – that's a genocide of around 1.2 million children each year. I'm not just picking on the US of A … it's happening right around the globe. Societies founded on Christian love, as they become more secular, are shifting further and further away from God. And they're behaving as though this is progress. It's progress to allow one man to marry another man, or a woman to marry another woman. It's progress to allow a woman to choose whether or not to kill her unborn child. It's progress for women not to respect their husbands and men not to cherish their wives. And anybody who stands in the way of this so-called “progress” is a narrow-minded, conservative bigot. And these sweeping changes are sweeping many a Christian along them. Christians en masse are forsaking a life based on God's Word, for a life based on the world's ways. And not just individual Christians, but preachers, Bible teachers, churches and denominations. And then we wonder why things aren't going so well for us in our lives. Really?! Back to the Bible International based in Lincoln Nebraska, is a ministry that I have been closely involved with now for a good many years. They in fact founded the ministry of Christianityworks that I now lead here in Australia, way back in 1957. Part of Back to the Bible is the Centre for Bible Engagement, which has conducted extensive research around the world on the impact in the lives of men and woman, who are engaged with God's Word on a regular basis. Remember, the Bible itself says that there is incredible power to defeat Satan, in God's Word: … our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:12-17) The only offensive weapon in our spiritual armour given to us by God is the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. All the other parts of the armour are defensive, which is good, but you don't win a battle by going on the defence. You have to go on the offence, you have to attack the enemy to defeat him. And the one tool, the one weapon that God has given us to do that, is the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. So the Centre for Bible Engagement researched the spiritual lives of more than 100,000 people 21 countries, ranging from ages of eight to 80 years. They began with this question: What is it, of all the things that Christians do, that is the most powerful predictor of spiritual growth? When you think about it, Christians do a lot of things to express their faith. They go to church, they pray, the listen to sermons, they attend home groups, they give, they serve … and many more things. The Centre of Bible Engagement's research project wanted to find out which ones of those had the most impact in the life of a Christian. That's not a bad question to ask through a large, scientifically constituted, statistically valid, international research project. That's not a bad question to ask, for anyone who wants to lay hold the super–abundant life that Jesus promised (John 10:10) to give us. The conclusions of this research was as follows (and I quote from their report): The findings consistently show that engaging in the Bible four or more days a week is the single most powerful predictor of spiritual growth – and they defined spiritual growth as becoming less of the person I was before I committed my life to Jesus and more like Christ in my thoughts, words and deeds. In fact, I know Arnie Cole, the President of Back to the Bible pretty well. His background is as a professional researcher and statistician. And he said to me that statistically speaking, the correlation between engaging with God's Word, the Bible four times a week or more and spiritual growth, is stronger than the correlation between smoking and lung cancer. Just think about that. What powerful evidence of the importance of receiving, reflecting on and responding to God's Word having a powerful impact in changing our lives. Making the changes that we ourselves have been powerless to change. Let me come back to the Apostle Paul's reflection on this whole question of the power to change: Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:24) The answer is that only God can give us the power to change, the resurrection power to be able to live the born-again, new, super-abundant life that Jesus came to give us. What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore, we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:1-4) Do you see? God's plan is for you to walk in the newness of life, the resurrection life made available to you through the Cross and the Empty tomb. And the power to live that life is something that you will find in the Word of God, as the Spirit of God breathes His Word into your heart: All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work. (1 Tim 3:16,17) That's where you'll find the power to change – power unlimited. In God's Word. So … you have to ask yourself, why do so many Christians ignore their Bibles?!   Not Just a Theory Lesson Discovering the power to change in God's Word isn't just a theory lesson. It's real. I remember one time in the early days of my involvement in this ministry of Christianityworks that produces these radio messages, just when I was rock bottom, reading this: My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-3) Another time, just when I was wondering whether or not to step out in faith by growing the ministry into Africa when we clearly didn't have the resources to do so, I opened up to the next chapter and read about Peter stepping out of the boat. He didn't wait for the storm to stop. No, he stepped out in the middle of the storm and walked on the water towards Jesus. Just when I was feeling so incredibly inadequate one tome, I read about how Peter and all the other disciples deserted Jesus when He was being tried and crucified. And yet Jesus still went on to use them to start this thing He called "the church". The Bible is full of this stuff and somehow God, through His Spirit, takes those stories and connects them with our lives and in our hearts we just know that God is speaking to us. There have been so many times when just when I needed a gentle touch from God … then I read about how He healed the leper or the blind person or the lame man. The Bible is full of God's promises and plans and purposes. And when we establish a regular habit of just spending some time in there with Him, His Spirit writes His promises and plans and purposes on our hearts with indelible ink, in a way that no person, no man or woman, no situation, no trial can ever rub them off. God Himself brings His word to life and that changes everything. So often I wonder where I'd be if I hadn't established a regular habit of reading Gods word. You know, it just doesn't bear thinking about. You see God is no pedlar of good philosophies or belief systems; He's not some distorted mirror of low self–esteem or unrealistic stereotypes. God wants to make a real difference – in my life and in yours. The problem is that there are so many things out there, ways of living, ways of thinking, fads, things to buy, places to go … all of them promise a great life. All of them promise something that they simply cannot deliver. You and I, we both know that we have flaws and weaknesses. As much as we wish we didn't, we just do. And you and I both know that we have people in our lives, situations in our lives, problems in our lives … mountains in our lives, that we just cannot overcome. And as much as we wish we didn't, we just do. It's the way things are. Well … right in the middle of all of those, God wants to make a difference. And He does that as we listen to Him, as we listen to His truth, as we take it into our hearts and let Him work powerfully in us and through us by His Spirit and His Word. That research I was talking about earlier in the program – the research by the Centre of Bible engagement which scientifically and statistically proved that frequent engagement with God's Word makes a powerful difference in our lives … that shouldn't be any surprise to us. Because God's Word is living and active, sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) And neither should the opposite be any surprise to us – that people who don't engage regularly with God's Word are going to live powerless lives where temptation, the enemy, people and circumstances constantly overwhelm them. Does any of that surprise you … really?

Keeping your relationship with writing peaceful and productive means prioritizing it during your most energetic and focused times of day. I’m coining a new term for those times to get us into the right mindset for the work.   Getting writing done is a key component to the academic life, but it doesn’t have to be a slog. Creating a positive relationship with your writing while also doing your best work is so much easier when you tune in to those times of your day when your energy and focus soar, and you’re ready to take on the world.    Encouraging you to use those times and helping you find out when they are for you (everyone is different!) has always been a main tenet of my coaching. Up until now, I’ve been borrowing a term for these times during the day, but it wasn’t quite fitting my vision anymore, so I coined a new one! Here’s the backstory on what “tiger time” is, how I discovered it, and why I wanted to change it to better fit our needs as academic writers. Tiger Time When I was first building my business, I listened to a lot of entrepreneurial podcasts. One of them was “Online Marketing Made Easy” with Amy Porterfield. She had a lot of great information, but something that really resonated with me was her idea of “tiger time”. She talked about using her best times of day, those when she was most focused, energized and driven, to tackle content creation.    This spoke to me, and as I have often done, I took this idea from the entrepreneurial world and molded it to help academics through my coaching business. Using the times during our week when we are freshest, most focused, have the most energy and drive really moves the needle for writing.    “I can move mountains between 7am and 11am.” -Cathy Mazak Time to Make a Change As we’ve moved through 2020, it’s become apparent that it’s time for me to move away from using someone else’s term, and specifically this term, for these focused times. Here’s why: Tiger King. People started asking me if tiger time had something to do with a show that has had a big moment in the pop culture spotlight in 2020. The answer to that question was a big NO. Tiger Mom. People also began asking me if tiger time had something to do with a book called Tiger Mom. Again, no. Academic Branding. I’ve been coaching you all on how to build your academic brands, and this presented an opportunity to do that myself. I want my coaching business to project a certain set of values, a certain image of how we go about writing. And it doesn’t emphasize fierceness, or struggle in any way. Time to create something new!   “We created different ways...for people to create that feeling of drive and energy that we want them to have during their writing times.” -Cathy Mazak   Soar States and Soar Sessions In keeping with our vision, we wanted to give you aspirational words for the experience of finding, creating, and utilizing those feelings of energy, drive and creativity.    If you’re not careful, your writing times can feel like slogging.  You write 10 words and delete 5. You feel like you’re walking through mud. Uphill. All you want to do is stop. But we want your writing time to feel like soaring. You're not desperately flapping your wings to keep going, you’re moving along peacefully, supported. You aren’t struggling, you’re in flow. Your forward motion is fast, and smooth.   So here it is! Our new term for those times when you are in a zone of creativity, energy and drive is: Soar States.   When you are utilizing your own personal Soar State you are experiencing a Soar Session. You’re in the zone! Writing is flowing, and the work you produce is high quality.    Soar Sessions come about in two ways: Tapping into your personal Soar States to take advantage of your most creative, energetic and focused times. Co-writing. Writing in community with others helps create that sense of energy and drive at any time.    I can’t wait to dive into these ideas with you as we continue to learn more about how to advance our careers through writing without burning out or breaking down!    “Think about the time of day that is your ‘soar state’.” -Cathy Mazak Big News for Black Friday!

This week’s episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen interviews Suzanne Evans and discusses the importance of change and work ethic in business growth. Suzanne Evans, the founder of Driven, Inc., went from secretary to a $7,000,000 business in record time. She’s also the author of The Way You Do Anything is the Way You Do Everything. #GoodGirlsGetRich We want to hear your thoughts on this episode! Leave us a message on Speakpipe or email us at info@karenyankovich.com.   About the Episode: The goal of your business should be to grow, and two important catalysts that bring business growth are change and work ethic. The Importance of Change As the world changes, so should your business. When you started out, maybe your client market was different. The economy was probably different. The niche you filled in the market has also most likely shifted. You probably learned what does and doesn’t work for your business. Shifting your business to meet demands is important. Without doing this, your business will become outdated. Your business needs to stay current with the times and demands of clients. Work Ethic Growing a business, often, is difficult. Even if you love your business and love what you do, that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Business growth requires a lot of time and effort. You know what they say… nothing good ever comes easy. Success might not come easy, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t fun! With a strong work ethic, you will achieve much higher goals at a much faster pace than those who only put in half the effort. There is a lot to learn and figure out in a business journey, but with an openness to change and a willingness to work hard, you will set yourself up to achieve your business goals!   Episode Spotlights: Where to find everything for this week’s episode: http://karenyankovich.com/113 Introducing this episode’s topic (2:21) Learn about the free video series, Make $1,000 Today (4:12) Learn about the weekly workshop, Your $5,000 Offer (5:20) Introducing this episode’s guest, Suzanne Evans (6:41) Why shifting your business is important (13:07) Suzanne’s biggest challenge (19:01) Why it’s okay to say “No” (23:10) The importance of work ethic (26:21) How to find out more about Suzanne (32:41)   Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Where you can find Suzanne Evans Website Driven the Event help@driveninc.com LinkedIn Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube Learn more about make1ktoday.com Learn more about your5000offer.com Sign up for the She’s LInkedUp program Book a mastermind session with Karen and receive a free consultation plan at karenyankovich.com/apply Join my free Facebook Group if you have any questions about today’s episode   Help Us Spread The Word!

Todd Narlinger, founder and owner of Madison & Company Properties, is a highly acclaimed, award-winning Realtor in the Denver Metro Area. He began his 25 year career as a Broker Associate with RE/MAX Masters, and in 1995 was honored as RE/MAX Masters Rookie of the Year. Since 1998, Todd has sold over $25 million dollars of real estate every year. In addition, Todd has also successfully marketed and sold new development projects including: 1 Pearl Street (One Pearl), 75 Emerson Street (Abitare), 740 Sherman (ICON 740), 195 S. Pennsylvania (ICON 195), and 1107 Elizabeth Street (ICON 1107). In the summer of 2008, Todd founded his own firm, Madison & Company Properties, a boutique firm which has grown to over 160 agents and 7 Denver metro area offices. Madison is currently ranked #6 in Denver brokerages for sales volume. Today, Todd continues to distinguish himself as Broker/Owner/Founder of Madison & Company Properties. Madison & Company Properties began with a vision for a brokerage with a collaborative, team atmosphere that provides clients with honest and knowledgeable associates and first class services. Every day, Todd works hard to maintain this top level of service among his brokers, always striving to be the best in the business. For this reason, Madison & Company Properties has earned the prestigious Denver Post Top Work Places award for the past 6 years in a row, and in the last two years Madison has won #1 mid-size companies. What You Will Learn: Todd Narlinger’s story and journey to opening a brokerage Why agents need to go back to the basics in an evolving marketplace What has changed for agents and brokers, and how to navigate those changes How Todd achieved a high level of success so quickly  The benefits and drawbacks of new technology in real estate Understanding the five sources of business Why you should consider doubling down on relationships Todd’s take on perseverance  Additional Resources: Website: https://www.madisonprops.com/ Twitter: @madisonprops Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MadisonPropsDenver/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/madison-&-company-properties-ltd-/ Book Recommendation:  Shoe Dog by: Phil Knight Free to Focus: A Total Productivity System to Achieve More by Doing Less by: Michael Hyatt Speakers: Reggie Rivers Larry Kendall Back to the Basics After Todd Narlinger graduated from CU, he took up an apprenticeship with his dad, a top real estate broker in the Denver Metro area. The early exposure to a network of high volume producers provided Todd with a deep-seated drive for success. He was forced to learn quickly and inspired to pull his weight in a group of veterans who were succeeding at a high level. But he also recognized real estate as a gateway to entrepreneurship, which gave him something bigger to work for.    Todd now heads Madison & Company Properties, but even at the pinnacle of his real estate career, he relies on the same fundamental skills that brought him 25 years of success. Today, he passes them on to the 160 agents on his team, because in an industry littered with distractions, you need to focus on tactics and strategies that have always worked. Go back to the basics: who knows you; who likes you; who trusts you, and who are you in the flow with? Adapt to Change As you know, I am a big advocate of the age old strategy of picking up the phone. Today, a lot of agents don’t talk or meet until they get to the closing table. Technology has helped us because document changes can be made with ease, forms can be delivered and signed online, and communication is extremely efficient. But that doesn’t mean we can neglect our relationships and let the process become an impersonal transaction. Technology is great as a supplementary tool, but you will find the greatest success by focusing on good old fashioned relationship building. Double Down on Relationships The market has changed, but the value of connection has not. Todd isn’t successful because he uses every digital marketing tool available; he is successful because he puts an unrivaled amount of time and energy into generating meaningful face-to-face connections. By no means is that easy to do, but all of you have the opportunity. Skillset, mindset, and action are the pillars of success in real estate. Double down on your relationships and go prove you’re willing to work for the results you’ve been seeking!

By 2025, the millennial generation will make up about 75 percent of the workforce. And, if you haven't noticed, this segment of the population does things a little differently than their predecessors. https://www.adammccampbell.com/ (Adam McCampbell) is a millennial leadership consultant who has worked with companies nationwide to help identify and develop top talent. He is passionate about creating organizations where everyone can thrive and, in this episode, he shares what every organization needs to know about today's changing workforce. As the Workforce Changes, Leadership Needs to Change As the workforce balance shifts and millennials replace baby boomers, leadership styles need to change too (at least if your organization wants to remain effective or even thrive through this transition). Adam helps organizations moves towards a servant leadership style, or a people-first leadership style, that doesn't just focus on themselves, the consumer, the bottom line, or the shareholder – instead, leadership has to start considering all the stakeholders: employees, customers, vendors, and the community. If you want to create an organization where everyone can thrive, you will be interested in these other topics discussed in this episode: A servant leadership curriculum based around CARE: Connect, Align, Release, and Encourage The different values and expectations that the younger generation has The line between personal and professional is blurring If you liked this episode of unsuitable on Rea Radio, let us know by hitting the like button or by sharing it with your followers on social media.

WELCOME to the TRUE PURPOSE DEVELOPMENT SHOW!  A POWERFUL MESSAGE that was aired in 2009.  It's AMAZING how much this show has inspired so many people in the JOURNEY.  The latest email from a listener inspired us to bless our listeners with this RELEVANT message tonight so ENJOY!!   Show Detail - 60 min of CHANGE: As you journey to Purpose, there comes a challenge and often times fear of Letting Go! I firmly believe that "Letting Go" is a phenomenal gift to possess and rare consistency for many. During your travel to Purpose (the process of spiritual pregnancy), you will have to make a decision to Let Go (tangibly, non-tangible, or both). Most importantly is the challenge of "Letting Go" of the past and how "Self" holds on to traditions, perceptions, and the bondages of religion and society. To rise to another level of consciousness, which ignites the realm of possibilities beyond your own thinking, one MUST LET GO and be willing to allow yourself to be free to explore a new way of life, thinking, and being! This realm leads you to a zone of safety, comfort, stability, love, peace, confidence, clarity, wholeness, fulfillment - the Purpose for which you were so divinely created. Our special guest tonight, Vickie James, is a Les Brown Platinum Speaker that speaks with Power, Courage, Confidence, Empathy and Tenacity. Her life is a walking testimony of success of how it is to live in the "Now" and "Letting Go"! Tune in as she and I share our experiences, benefits, and challenges to this process. Take heed to this show tonight! Tell a neighbor, tell a friend because most everyone desire PURPOSE! Yes you Can...BIRTH your PURPOSE! But... Are you Fit 4 the JOURNEY? #transformationitisso #iamtransformingdetroit
