Want to submit an episode topic request? Text 'em here!If you've ever found yourself asking, “Am I being faithful…or just feeding the algorithm?” - then this episode is for you.Today, we're diving into the heart of a conversation so many Christians in business are afraid to say out loud: the pressure to perform online, the guilt when your content doesn't “do well,” and the subtle ways the social media algorithm can start to replace God's voice.I'm sharing real talk about what it looks like to build a social media presence that honors God...not just the grid. This isn't just about strategy (although I'll give you that too)...it's about heart posture, obedience, and showing up from a place of peace, not pressure.Inside this episode, you'll hear:Why “good content” alone isn't enough and what actually makes your message anointedThe truth about stewardship vs. striving when it comes to social media followers and growthThe "Three E's" that help you create content that connects deeplyHow to know when you're led by the Spirit...or lured by performanceWhy your follower count can be a part of your calling, not a scoreboard.Plus, an invitation to join the Burnout-Free Biz community, where we blend spirit-led marketing strategy with mental and emotional wellness for Christian Creatives. You don't have to burn out to build a business. You don't have to hustle to be holy. Let's take your online presence out of survival mode and into Spirit-led success.

Those two letters - A.I. - have created an incredible groundswell of interest, excitement and concern in the creative community. For some, these rapidly evolving tools - including ChatGPT and other apps - represent the next great technological breakthrough. For others, these tools represent a threat to human creativity and thought because of their potential to mimic and replace real artists, writers and others in the entertainment and educational space. In this episode, we'll take on those fears and show you why, as a creative of faith and belief in God, you can rest easy and refuse to panic as these tools continue to gain traction in the culture.

What do you need to do in order to have a great launch? Is there a formula for guaranteed success, or is it all just one big shot in the dark every time you launch?We're wrapping up our mini series on launching with a special episode. You'll hear a conversation between my friend Esther Littlefield and I all about how to have your best launch ever. You'll learn the3 essentials to having a successful launch... including one that you may have overlooked in the past. Oh, and be sure to stick around to the end of our conversation for a special time-sensitive announcement!Over the past 6 years, we've launched everything from coaching to services to freebies to courses and memberships... and we've had some launches that completely flopped, and others that flourished. After years of being behind the scenes of dozens of launches PLUS doing several of our own launches, we've learned that every successful launch must have 2 key components: A solid marketing strategy AND clear launch plan.That's why last summer, we created the Level Up Your Launch Method and taught it inside of a masterclass. But over the past year, we've talked with our community members and clients and we realized when you have to go through the launch process alone, it can be really tough. We realized that there's one more key ingredient, aside from a strategy and a plan, that will supercharge a launch: support.There are 3 main types of support that you could benefit from in your launch:1. A guide / coach / mentor2. Accountability3. Community / friends / biz bestiesWe've learned that anyone can develop a strategy and create their launch plan-especially if they use our Level Up Your Launch method. And you CAN have a successful launch on your own. BUT it's a whole lot more fun, and it's often more successful, when you do it with support.So now you know what you need in order to have your best launch ever. But we wanted to find a way to support you even more. We both have students and clients who are often looking for that added support to get their launch accomplished. So we have created Level up Your Launch LIVE -An 8 week guided experience to your best launch ever!Level Up Your Launch LIVE will help you:Feel confident that your offer and marketing strategy will appeal to your community (instead of launching something that might not be what your community needs)Be prepared and equipped to complete the tasks necessary to get your launch out the door (instead of randomly doing tasks that may or may not be important)Actually enjoy the launch process (instead of feeling lonely and confused)Learn more about what is included in Level Up Your Launch Live here.++++++++++Are you tired from trying to share your God-inspired message while working your full time job?

Are you facing a season of transition? It might a big one, like becoming an empty nester. Or a smaller one, like having kids out of school for the summer. If transitions and changes tend to bring anxiety and discomfort, tune in to Episode 66 of Just One Simple Thing, where you'll learn four ways to keep things moving forward when life takes you on a detour.Over the last couple of months, I have had three different clients reach out to me and ask for help navigating a life transition, from a time management standpoint.As I've worked with these ladies, I've noticed some patterns that seem to pop up as we are moving from one season to another. Transitions are a special kind of change. Most disruptive changes come up unexpectedly and without a lot of notice. But transitions happen over time and you usually know that they are coming.If we let thetransition sneak up on us, the effect is more like a sudden change. But if we take advantage of the advance notice, we can be more prepared and able to make a graceful transition.If you are going through a season of transition, here are few things to keep in mind:1. Adopt an attitude of blessing.2. Your new season may require a new schedule and priorities.3. You'll probably need some new processes and routines.4. Set aside time to evaluate how things are going.ACTION STEP:Head over to my free Facebook group Plan & Pray with Do A New Thing to grab the Transition Check-in Worksheet and map out your transition plan.

Are you planning to go to a conference or in-person event soon? If you are an introvert like me (and I know that most of you are!), networking at in-person events can be nerve-wracking. Back in Episode 63, we covered my best tips for preparing for the conference. Here in Episode 65, you'll learn how to survive networking during the event, and what to do when you get home to extend the impact. Let's dive in!I'm getting excited about the conference I'm going to later this summer. I've already been doing some of the prep work that we talked about back in Episode 63. I have a list of people that I want to be sure and connect with, and I've recently been working to clarify my elevator pitch.I've got my mental attitude straight and I'm feeling equipped and prepared to have some great conversations, so now what? Here are some practical points to consider during the conference.1. Put serving others before your own awkwardness.2. Balance social time with alone time.3. Sit in the middle of the room.You survived the conference and now you are back at home. You may think you are safe now, but connecting continues after you get home. You probably collected a pile of business cards or digital connection cards along the way. Divide them into two piles: One pile for people that you met and just want to stay in touch with, and another pile for people who made a deeper impression on you... people who could be potential partners or clients.Even if you implement all of these tips, I'm not promising that networking time won't be awkward or uncomfortable.

Conference season is almost here and amidst all the preparation and arrangements, we sometimes forget about one of the most important parts of attending a conference .... networking.  It can also be the scariest part, especially if you are an introvert. In Episode 63 of Just One Simple Thing, you'll learn how to prepare for your next conference or in-person event, so it won't be quite so scary.I'm always excited to go to an in-person even, but when I get there, I remember why I used to avoid networking.Just the terms "networking" and "working the room" can bring to mind some negative connotations.And when you think of networking as what you can get out of it and how it can benefit you, then it is pretty cheesy.Think of it more as a way to make authentic connections with people who all have the same ultimate goal ... to bring a hurting world to the feet of Jesus. In fact, Jesus and his friends were great at making these kinds of connections themselves.As Christians, making connections comes more naturally than networking. But still, it takes some practice and a bit of thinking ahead to get truly comfortable with it.Let's start by separating some truth from some lies. These people are smarter/more experienced/more polished than me. Possibly TRUTH.I'm not good enough to be here. Big fat LIE.She has the same idea as me. Maybe TRUTH.Nobody wants to talk to me.

The Idea Tornado. The swirl of ideas flying around in your head. You see one whiz by and before you can even reach out to grab it, here comes another one.It can be overwhelming and frustrating. Sometimes it's easier to eliminate some things and then look at the things that are left to see what bubbles up to the top. So let's weed out the things we don't need to do, to make room for the next right step.1. Use Your Purpose as a FilterI've talked before about how much I love Noah. He may have been the very first Project Manager. God gave Noah a very specific assignment and Noah got after it.  God told him to build an ark, and anything that did not contribute to that purpose didn't get any space on Noah's list.Before we can prioritize ideas, we haveto know what we'retrying to accomplish.2. Stop Making DecisionWe revisit too many decisions that have already been made. Noah had a blueprint for the ark from God, and he just got busy building it according to that plan.If some of those ideas swirling by are things you've already decided and have clear direction on, let them fly on by. Stop making decisions you have already made.3. Your Biggest Issue is Your Next Right StepOur biggest issues are often the most difficult to solve. Usually we focus on the easy little things, checking quantity off our to-do list instead of quality.  Noah had a mission to build an ark. It was hard work.  Noah was single-mindedly focused on building the ark.  What is the biggest issue you need to solve? The one thing that is blocking your path and preventing progress? It may seem like there are a lot of them, but if you look closely, you will likely find one thing that everything else hinges on.Genesis 6 and 7 says repeatedly that "Noah did everything just as God commanded him." And ultimately, that is how we find our next right step.ACTION STEPI want you to reach out and tell me what that biggest issue is that you need to solve. What was the one thing that caused your last launch to fail? Or your last project to not meet your expectations? See, I have a theory about what it is for most of you. I'll let you know in the next episode if I was right! And if I am, I have an easy formula to help you solve it. So find me on Instagram or Facebook @doanewthing and let me know.

Looking for something to break up your work routine? It might help to get out of the house for a day and take a working staycation. I did this recently and it was my most productive day ever. In Episode 59, you'll learn four things that made the day so successful, and I'll share what I Iearned about myself and my work style during the day.I work best when I have a little distraction going on around me. The quiet stillness bores me and I end up wandering around the house to distract myself. Usually with a snack. So when someone gave me the idea of a one-day working staycation, I thought I'd give it a try, just for something different. The idea is that you go someplace nearby ... a coffee shop, restaurant, anything with a good wi-fi connection .... work for a while, then go to another place, giving yourself some variety throughout the day. I loved it!So I want to share with you four tips for turning a working staycation into one of your most productive days ever:1. Pick your spots carefully.2. Travel light.3. Plan your time.4. Mind your power.Here's what I learned on my working staycation:I am 10 times more productive when I have a little activity going on around me.McDonald's was my least favorite.By traveling light and staying close, the time between stopping and starting was only 30 -40 minutes.I consumed at LOT less calories than when I work at home.My working day around town reminded me of this Bible verse:Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3:14 (NIV)I love how this verse tells me that being productive is something we must (and can) learn.ACTION STEPPlan your own working staycation.

At least, creating a plan too soon.Our projects need a little time to mature and develop before we can create a good plan.Let's dive in to the three things you need to create your project plan.1. You need time in your schedule for your most strategic projects or tasks.If I find that the schedule is too full, I I know I need to extend the timeline for my project, or take some other things off my plate.2. You need to break the project down into steps.Pull the steps into buckets to give them some structure.3.

You know I love a good project and a good plan. But sometimes, we get caught up in checking off the tasks and lose sight of what God is trying to do. In Episode 56 of Just One Simple Thing, we'll learn to find God's purpose in our plans.Welcome, friends! I'm so glad to have you hanging out with me today as we talk about two of my favorite things ... projects and plans.In his book, Getting Things Done, David Allen defines a project as anything that takes more than one action to complete. So almost EVERYTHING is a project! Which makes my project manager heart so happy.Over the next few episodes, we'll talk about some tips and tools you can use to complete your projects. But before we do, let's talk about why it's so important to complete our projects well. Friend, God has a profound purpose for yourvery practical projects.Sometimes, he shows you that purpose before your start. Sometimes, you discover it along the way. And other times, you don't really understand what he is up to until long after the project is complete.God gave Noah a big project ... build an ark and repopulate the earth.God said to Noah, “I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.” Gen 6:18. For Noah, it was all about saving his family.Nehemiah thought God was sending him to rebuild a wall. But when he got there, Nehemiah found not only a broken wall, but a broken people.So as he was leading them to rebuild the wall, he was also leading them to rebuild their confidence and their identity as God's chosen people. And being the great leader that he was, Nehemiah was able to steward both parts of his projects well.Joseph had a big project ... save Egypt from a famine.Says in Gen. 41that he stored up so much grain, he stopped even trying to keep up with how much he had. Not only did he have enough grain to save Egypt from the famine, but he had enough for the surrounding countries as well.What if Joseph had only completed his project halfway? His brothers would not have come to Egypt to get grain, and they may never have reunited. Because Joseph executed his practical project well, God was able to complete his profound purpose.So as we get wrapped up in our projects, checking the boxes and closing out the Trello boards, let's keep our hearts and minds open to God's profound purpose. Even the smallest, most mundane two-step projects can be used in ways we can't imagine. So let's do them well.ACTION STEP:Look at the projects you have on your plate. Can you see God's profound purpose in them? Watch for the Lord to start revealing more about His purpose as you cross things off the list. Be sure to join me in the next episode when I'll share some tips for breaking your projects down into small steps so you can make a plan to get them done. You'll learn the process and the tools I use for all of my projects.

E53: Simple Systems to Capture Ideas and Leads

Just One Simple Thing

Where do your ideas go to grow? Do you have a place where they can mature and develop while you are working on other things? What about your leads on potential clients? Are you cultivating those so your pipeline stays full? In this last episode of the Simplify With Systems series, we are going to look at two simple systems that have made a huge impact on my business ... the idea capture system, and the client lead followup system.There are some basic systems that every ministry or business needs to have .... Document filing, appointment scheduling, email management, and the like.But today, I want to cover a couple of systems that are not talked about as much, but have been a key part of managing and growing my business. Let's start with the Idea Capture System first, then touch on the client lead follow up system. Before we talk about how to develop a capture system, let's talk a bit more about why we need one.2 Corinthians 10:5 says:  We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.Many of my ideas come from the lofty opinions of others ... what I could do, or should do, or think I ought to do because the ever-present they are doing it.Capturing the idea parks it in a place to rest while I pray and seek God.At first, you may feel like your capture system is a place where ideas go to die.But, you'll find it is really a place where ideas go to grow.Some things to consider when setting up your capture system.A space to capture - Set up a place where you can capture every idea as it comes to you.Your capture system is more than a list.A home for shiny objects.Create the habit - The more you use the system, the more it will naturally become the first place you go when inspiration strikes.Process, filter and prioritize - About once every three months or so, run through your  captured ideas.Keeping my head clear of all this extra information and activity gives me more capacity to focus on the things God has assigned me to do right now. Preserving the ideas in a place they can live and grow (or not) releases the guilty feelings that I'm not doing enough.Let's touch briefly on the client lead follow up system.When I make a connection with a potential new client, I add them to a list on my Clients Trello board ... close to the top if I want to follow up soon, or in the middle when I want to follow up in a few weeks.Each Sunday evening, when I do my planning for the next week, I send a quick email to the top 2 or 3 people on the list, referencing things we mentioned the last time we talked. Then I move them to the bottom of the list, and do 2 or 3 more the next week.I hope this series has helped you develop some simple systems that free you up to do the work you love most. In our next episode, we'll take a little break and do something a little silly, just for fun. I hope you'll join me!ACTION STEPWhich one of these two systems would make the biggest difference for you? Spend a little time this week setting it up so you can capture your big ideas AND your potential customers.RESOURCESMore Than Capable Momprenuer Podcast with Shannon Baker: The Business Systems Every Mompreneur NeedsBook Recommendation: ++++++++++Are you tired from trying to share your God-inspired message while working your full time job?

Creating New Things With God Starts With Seeing Yourself and Your Art in New Ways The Creator of galaxies, oceans, wildflowers, and stallions made you creative. He gave you an imagination. Eyes to see what has never been. A voice to speak things into existence. The reason why is astonishing. It's not so you'll get busy doing things for God. But so you'll pursue the very things you love with God. That is true creativity. And this is your invitation to experience it as never before. Allen Arnold—noted creativity author, coach, and speaker—has helped thousands with his teachings on co-creating with God. This book brings together his central insights on topics such as Imagination, Opposition, Questions, Wonder, and Expectancy. Each page features original quotes or timeless Scripture that, like waves, will wash over you, refresh you, and stir you to greater creativity. Your art wants to grow deeper, wilder, truer. It's just waiting for you to go first. It is a journey best taken one thought at a time. The goal isn't to get somewhere fast. But to become more fully you along the way.

Jesus, the wisest leader of all time, was not carried away by the crowd, but understood that He was only present for a short while. This made him tell His disciples at most points that He would not be with them for long. Practically putting them through trainings and teachings that would sustain them after He was gone.

Establishing a consistent brand is an important part of growing any kind of ministry or business. In our series on Success Foundations, let's look at how to build a God-honoring presence that delivers on a promise.As Christian creatives, we all say we want our business or ministry to glorify God. But we spend a lot of time getting all the fonts and colors on our website to match, and being sure we have exactly the same profile picture across our social media to draw attention. It feels so self-centered, and it can be if our focus is on ourselves. Your brand is your promise. You do not choose your brand. You earn it. Not many people in the Bible made God more famous and earned their brand than David. As a shepherd and a harpist, as a warrior and a king, he brought honor and attention to God. God uses a good reputation to open ministry and business opportunities to us. A first step to building a good reputation is being an active, supportive member of the online Christian community. You have to deliver on your promise. When King Saul needed someone to take on a big challenge, David delivered on the promise of his brand. David made some astounding claims. The young man who spent his time tending sheep claimed to be able to take down a battle-hardened warrior that dwarfed him in size. The powerful combination of experience, faith and reputation are the same key components of building a Presence that makes God famous today. God changes lives when you make Him famous. David's experience and reputation may have helped him get the opportunity to fight Goliath, but when that opportunity put him center stage, it was not about anything he had done. It was all about God.  After David took Goliath down with a stone and cut off his head, the enemy fled. And the men of Israel destroyed them. God gave them the courage to do what they couldn't do before.  As we make God famous through our ministries and businesses, we give people the opportunity to do what they couldn't do before. The courage to change. The hope to overcome obstacles. The power to step out in faith. The grace to weather a storm. Your brand isn't measured by numbers. In an environment where downloads equal legitimacy and email lists determine worth, the expectations can be crushing. David knew a thing about those expectations. When he returned from the battle where he killed Goliath, the people were cheering and chanting in the streets. But David was keenly aware that his purpose was to be king.ACTION STEP: As you establish yourself online, what is the promise you are making to your audience?
