After the list of those who were faithful in the Old Testament, Hebrews gives us a list of things they did as they were victorious over their circumstances. There is also a list of the things the faithful did that were victorious while they were living under the circumstances as well. God doesn't promise us that we will have tribulations, but He also promises that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Sometimes we need to take some time to be introspective. To think about where we've been, to listen to where God wants us to be, to go wholeheartedly when Holy spirit ushers us into praise, to listen attentively when we are convicted, challenged, inspired, or encouraged. A new year and new decade are almost upon us. An excellent time to ponder, praise, pray, and plan. Listen in for three questions and one word to guide introspection that can help you enter into 2020 with clarity, confidence, and courage.

It's a few days before Thanksgiving - a time of year full of celebrations with family and food. Before the prolonged period of eat-festing begins, I'm led to share an episode about fasting. Hang with me here… The end of the year season is celebratory, but it can also be difficult for those that have experienced loss or are currently experiencing lack. Going into this new year, some may want or need to leave some things behind in this decade and to step into 2020 with boldness and a clear vision of what is to come. Some may need strength or movement comfort or clarity, courage, or earnestly desire a more intimate relationship with God. Fasting can minister to these and other needs. Christian fasting is prayerful abstinence from food and or/drink for spiritual purposes. While it involves food, it's about much more than food. In the Bible, we see that fasting is not a command; it is a choice - one that can bring beautiful, powerful blessings. Intricately connected with prayer, fasting deepens our connection to God. This bonus episode shares resources, information, and inspiration that I pray will be helpful and supportive to you if you choose to take on this spiritual discipline.

“Wherever there is a human in need, there is an opportunity for kindness and to make a difference.” ~ Kevin Heath Kindness calls for people to look out, to reach out, to show care and support for one another.  This episode of the Faith Applied podcast with Heather Eason explores kindness and the beauty of rising to meet needs. Heather is the founder of Comeback Coolers, a nonprofit organization that delivers much needed and much deserved breaks to people that are out in rescue or recovery disasters. Comeback Coolers connects people that care with people that need care. The connections endure, and the acts of kindness, multiply and expand.  Image source: facebook.com/pg/comebackcoolers/photos Re the genesis and growth of Comeback Coolers - Heather shares: Comeback Coolers came out of an experience I had from Hurricane Katrina. I was in the house when the waters came in, and I thought my husband was going to die because the water closed the door to the bedroom and he couldn't escape. He was pushing, and I was pulling, and I made the decision that I had to save my son. As soon as I took my hands off the door, the entire door casing came down, and we were swept in a wave toward our living room. We made it up the stairs, and when the eye came over us, we fled to my best friend's house. God saved us, but our marriage did not survive for much longer.   For me, Katrina changed my mindset about what was important, and it really upped my desire to be helpful. Suddenly, the material things weren't near as important. As a former teacher, I also recognize the need for children to get involved in giving and helping so they will turn into adults with the same mindset.   The blessings my team and I receive from Comeback Coolers are far greater than what seems fair. I'm constantly given new friends, stories of impact, and a whole lot of love. Really, the gifts we give are returned in the form of tremendous love and God shows up in a big way each and every time.    Key Explorations In This Episode Include: Beauty and bounty can come from loss, and disaster can change life for the better With God's Hand, little things have a huge impact  Important reminders that everyone has something to give A powerful example of multi-generational outreach The value of a singular mission and diverse gifts on a team Listen in and be inspired.

How do you view, value, and practice rest? Sabbath rest. We live in a time where the 'hustle' is hallowed, where life at a crazy busy pace is commonplace, and rest often is reserved for extra times to be fit in.

Society has a confused, conflicted, dramatic relationship with diets. Each year 45 million US adults go on a diet (and it seems like there are 45 million diets to choose from). 2 of 5 people quit the diet in the first week and only 1 of the 5 last more than a month. In most cases, lost weight is regained, and people proclaim 'Diets don't work!"... Until they put their belief in a diet program or process and start again. This cycle is a frustration truth for millions of people. Here's another truth - diet works. And another truth - diet impacts more than 45 million US adults. It affects everyone. Let's clear some of the clutter and confusion around diet. In this episode, we discuss foundational principles that can help make diet work for you. Listen in...

Is your life balanced? Do you believe balance is possible? There's been a lot in my inbox and social media feeds about balance. Sharings about how it is not possible. It is unrealistic and unreasonable to even expect that you can have balance in your life. They are solid impassioned arguments that balance is BS. Well, I put these impassioned statements in the same category with: "New Year's resolutions are a waste of time!" or "It's hard and expensive to eat healthily." or "Diets don't work because the weight loss doesn't last!"

Many fitness experts say the pushup is like the perfect resistance exercise. Jonathan Ross, with the American Council on Exercise, says one of the reasons the pushup has endured for so long is because it's cheap, it's easy, it doesn't require any equipment, and it works multiple parts of the body all at the same time. Another great thing about a pushup is that it's very variable and almost anyone can do it. TempleCare12 helps you create or reinforce healthy and whole habits during crazy-busy or otherwise challenging times, and this 9th day pushes full body strength with the addition of push ups to your daily routine.  Note: The days of the program build upon each other, so I encourage you to follow the sequence.  Download the TempleCare12 Overview - use this free guide and tool for planning and tracking Episode 012: Program Introduction and Day 1 - Plank It Out Episode 013: Day 2 Veggies Rule Episode 014: Day 3 The Bread of Life Episode 015: Day 4 Made to Move Episode 016: Day 5 Feed Your Mind Episode 017: Day 6 Drink Up Episode 018: Day 7 Rest Episode 019: Day 8 Stop at Satisfied Now on to Day 9.

Most Americans suffer from a severe case of portion distortion. We are no longer in tune with our body's hunger and satisfaction signals. Instead, our eating is governed by the clock, by the situation, by the availability of food, or the swings of our mood - and we stop when we are stuffed, or the food is gone. TempleCare12 helps you create or reinforce healthy and whole habits during crazy-busy or otherwise challenging times, and this 8th day encourages you to tune in to your God-given portion control mechanism and stop eating when satisfied.

For some the holidays evoke images of joyful, happy times celebrating the beauty of the season. Parties and celebrations. Gatherings of family and friends. Lots of cooking. Lots more eating.

This episode contains encouragement and helps for those experiencing hurt during the holidays.   Mentioned in this episode: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline   1-800-273-8255  National Alliance on Mental Illness  Text NAMI to 741741   Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 1-800-662-HELP (4357) Explore more: Thanks for subscribing to the Faith Applied podcast on Apple Podcasts or on Android so you can receive every episode automatically.

Most people spend most of their lives doing the same things day after day after day. While habits can help productivity, and routine can bring comfort and convenience, if we don't venture out and try new things, we can stagnate and miss some of the beauty, excitement, and growth that exists outside of our comfort zone.  Consider this: children develop at a fast pace partly because they regularly try things they have never done before. Every day we ask children to face a fear, to reach a new boundary, to try a new food, to try a new activity – to explore, learn and grow.  We encourage children to try new things but rarely do the same. What happens to that curiosity as we age? Why do we let ourselves get in the way from exploring and testing and trying and growing? When was the last time you tried something new?  Whether it's as simple as a new genre of food or mode of exercise to something that's grander like pursuing that passion project or going after something that's on your bucket list. “If we continue to do what we have always done, we will continue to get what we have always got.” ~ Steven Hayes  If you want something different, you have to do something different. Do something(s) new! In this episode, you will: Identify something positive, progressive, or purposeful that you've wanted to try or change in your life. Learn 5 steps that can help you tackle and conquer that new challenge.

Do you bad talk about yourself to yourself? ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) are negative statements, defeating self-pronouncements that eat you up and tear you down. Sometimes we don’t notice them. Other times we overlook them. What's worse is that in at some level we tacitly believe them. ANTs and negative self-talk, like the little insect cause damage. They multiply, and piece by piece break down the favor and carry off the fruit that God has given to you.  As a man thinketh so is he. ANTs, persistent destructive thoughts, they've got to go! There's no place for negative thinking and self-talk in your mind. So how do we get rid of these ANTs? Listen in and learn how to banish negative self-talk.  Mentioned in this episode: Change Your Brain, Change Your Body: Use Your Brain to Get and Keep the Body You Have Always Wanted by Dr. Daniel Amen Put Your Faith Where Your Fork Is: Science-Based, Faith-Empowered Principles For Healthy Weight Management by Nettye Johnson (on Amazon.com) Put Your Faith Where Your Fork Is: Science-Based, Faith-Empowered Principles For Healthy Weight Management by Nettye Johnson (on signed copy from my website) Explore more: Thanks for subscribing to the Faith Applied podcast on Apple Podcasts or on Android so you can receive every episode automatically.

US adults check their smartphones between 80 and 150 times per day. Cell phone separation anxiety is a real thing, and many would go periods without chocolate, talking, or intercourse before going one day without their phone.  How connected are you to your smartphone? Smartphones are super helpful, significant parts of our lives, but like anything used inappropriately or in excess, this tool can become a trap. Today we discuss faith applied to productivity and smartphone use. We’ll explore four areas/applications where smartphone reliance/use is not so smart.  Mentioned in this episode: Running list of most helpful and often used smartphone apps – discussion thread in the Faith Applied Community.  Not in the group?

Here’s the thing about the past – we all have one. And – not everything back there is sunshiny and rainbows. Some looks back reveal dreary times. Past pains, shame or regrets that can be burdensome. We can’t change the pictures of our past, but we can adjust the frame in which they are viewed.  This episode contains audio from a video meditation from Phil 3 on how to position past pains to propel your future. Scripture Reference …I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things… (Phil. 3:13b – 15a NIV) Prefer to watch the video? Here it is. Explore more.

The Faith Applied podcast is about forward movement and growth.  To start this podcast, I was led to focus this first episode on how not to stop – how to stick to what you start. Show notes with time stamps: 01:12 This episode is for individuals who at some time or another haveset a goal, a good goal. Something that you want to fix in your life that needs fixing. Something you want to uplift or improve.  You are excited. You get started and are cooking with steam. You go for awhile and then all of a sudden something shifts and you stop. Then sometime later you start again, and you stop again and thus begins a start-stop cycle that I call startitis. 01:45 – Maybe you’ve had this experience related to nutrition or trying to lose weight… 03:00 – Or perhaps, you’ve lived the the same song with a different tune and instead of starting and stopping  eating well, the start/stop relates to exercise. 03:50 Or perchance your startitis doesn't connect with physical wellness – it impacts your spiritual wellbeing. You desire a closer walk with Jesus and want  to spend more time in God’s Word.  You start regular personal study with a plan to complete the bible and fall off somewhere in Leviticus… 05:00 Can any of you relate to any of this? I can tell you with all honesty and sincerity that I can. We are not alone. We all have some area(s) where we start off on a path the better, but stop and cycle through a pattern that is active but goes nowhere. 08:07  We fall off the wagon so many times we refuse to try again. We know the truth that ‘he who Christ has set free is free indeed’, but we continue to walk around in bondage to behaviors that hold us back. 09:12 Permanent positive change. Is possible!  It may not be easy, but it is possible. Let’s dig into three helps to stick to what we start. 10:29  Start small. Small changes are more sustainable. Starting small and going steady builds self-efficacy, protects our progress, and delights the Lord. 19:08 Find your fit.  If we repeated try to make a positive change, and keep falling of that wagon - wagon, perhaps the wagon ain’t ours to ride.  Don’t jump on the bandwagon of what is popular. Examine thyself so you can change yourself.   Find and flourish in your path to better. 24:39  The most powerful tip to help you stick with what you start doesn’t deal with what or how - it looks at why…your motivation to start.  Honestly answer the question Jesus asked the lame man at the Bethesda pool…. 30:46  Talk to God about it. Engage the intersection of the divine power of God and human responsibility and obedience for consistent and effective action.

This week on the podcast, my strategy session was with Nettye Johnson and how to launch and market a podcast. Nettye is launching a podcast the week of  August 13th  called Faith Applied that will dive into Biblical principles and see where it is married with science and how to apply it to a person's life. She gave the example of setting habits as a topic she will cover and how she will look at the science and neurological implications of what happens when habits are formed, how we set and break and create them, but then also bring a faith component in.  She will also look at how a Scripture that mirrors that science principle can give a mantra or meditation someone can use to reflect and focus to replace a bad habit. She set a goal of launching by mid-August and wants to know how to launch it between now and then. Here are the big questions we tackled: Is my timeline realistic to launch a new podcast?  YES! You will take as much time as you give yourself. So whatever timeline you're setting, you can launch on that timeframe, and if it's longer than 6 weeks, shorten it. The most important thing to know is WHAT you need to accomplish to launch it into the world. (Which we cover below) How do I decide what type of content/episodes to create?  Do YOU. There is no right or wrong way to run a podcast. If you feel like solo episodes are your jam, do those. If you want to be known as the expert host -- the person who knows people -- then do interviews. If you want to showcase how you work with people, do live work with your ideal peeps. And know that you can change it up at any time. It's YOUR podcast. So if you start out doing solo and want to throw a series or interview set in, that's OK. What do I focus on first marketing wise? Start teasing the podcast to your audience with the main graphics for your podcast. Batch record your episodes. If you're doing solo episodes, outline what you're talking about (or write a script if that fits your personality better) and block off a few hours to record. If you're doing interviews, book several episodes at a time to record, so you can get into a groove. Have a page dedicated to your podcast on your website to collect people interested in the podcast pre-launch. You want to be able to send people somewhere as you're talking to the world about the podcast launching, so they can follow along with you and you have an immediate following when you go live. This can have a countdown timer on it, a form to be notified when it launches, a preview, etc. Brainstorm places to "market" to that your ideal person hangs out. Do market research while slyly promoting your podcast in a group with genuine questions like "How do you feel about X, Y, Z? I'm about to launch a podcast and I'm stuck on where to go next." Get excited about launching it. Talk about it ALL THE TIME. Tease the first batched episodes on social media using graphics, quotes from the episodes, etc. to create buzz up front. Tap into your network of influencers and create a cheerleading squad of 5-10 people you can ask beforehand to help promote it.  Think of people with the same or similar audiences, OR people who could become a big influencer in the future you want to stay connected with. Ask for reviews when you launch. You can incentivize it or not. On your podcast, make sure to DO a call-to-action at the end and ask them to take action. If it helps, map out what you have going on IN your business on a calendar so you know WHAT to ask people to do on your podcast, and point all your other marketing to it as well. If you're unsure of what to ask, think about "What's going to get me the most traction in my business right now?" If you're launching a podcast, how do you use it to market well? One option is to use the podcast to introduce yourself to a new audience and bring people into your marketing funnel. Another option is to use the content and types of episodes you create to qualify people to work with you. How do I connect my podcast to iTunes?  First off, Pat Flynn with Smart Passive Income has an amazing course on how to launch a podcast. I am NOT an affiliate (yet) but I do love this course and highly recommend it if you're serious about using podcasting in your business. Some basics you need to know: To launch a podcast you need: recording equipment a way to edit the podcast (or someone to edit it for you) a graphic for your podcast cover art RSS feed service that will push your episodes to all the podcast directories automatically A page on your website to host the episodes and drive traffic to. Download my Podcasting 101 Cheatsheet for free with all the recommendations to get started. [activecampaign form=39]   I have a huge mental block when it comes to asking for help for me or for my business. So thinking of a call-to-action to promote anything I do is hard. How do I get over this? First of all, this is SO common. Especially with women who run service-based businesses. If you feel icky about asking someone to do anything for you, break it down into WHAT is the emotion and feeling that is stopping you from asking? What does it say about you if you ask? Then, go smaller. What is a tiny ask that you could make that doesn't feel out of character for you? If you can find one that feels better, and not as overt, start with that and work up to asking for bigger and more impactful things. It's a muscle you have to flex to get better. Finally, consider the impact cost of you NOT asking someone to take action. How will it affect your business if you don't get more visibility? If more people don't find out about what you have to offer? What would you be missing if you can't work with people/help people with what you're doing? That question can help shift the mindset from scary to do-able. Do I run Facebook ads to promote my things and podcast?  It depends. My go-to answer about Facebook ads is this: Do not run ads on Facebook (or anything) until you know where you're sending them and how you're converting them AND it's getting you results. And do NOT run Facebook ads until you are consistently showing up on the platform you want to run ads on. Otherwise, you'll be sending traffic to a funnel that's broke, or sending them to a place with no plan, with no true way of tracking the metrics for these ads. A better resource of time and money is to figure out where you want to be more consistent and how to start driving traffic to that place and into your funnel. IF you have a funnel that works, and a plan for how to convert traffic (if you send it to a group, for example to a Facebook group) then give it a try. Pro Tip:  If you struggle with writing authentically for your brand, try recording yourself talking it out and THEN type out that for your copy. A wonderful thing happens in your brain when you speak. It's unable to both filter the words coming out AND speak at the time, so what comes out automatically becomes more authentic. This tip works for anyone struggling to write about copy, talk about their services, talk about the benefits and to answer the dreaded question: what do you do?  Connect with Nettye: Bio: Nettye Johnson is a wife, mother, author, speaker, Bible teacher, certified health coach, and owner of a Christ-centered wellness organization.
