#082// Do you believe women can make a sound into the earth for Jesus and His Kingdom? How about into the Church?If you're a woman who's got a sound on your life to make for Jesus and His Kingdom, you've got to be confident in making that sound. With so much debate in the church today around whether women are "allowed" to teach or preach, finding your confidence can be a little tricky. So, what does the Bible have to say about women making a sound for God? And what happens when we don't know the truth but keep trying to make a sound anyway? Spoiler Alert: It isn't good! On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast we're taking a quick tour of some general passages of scripture that pertain to women sharing the gospel and making a sound for Jesus, and then we'll dig a bit deeper into Ezekiel 13 to examine what it looks like when you go "off message" as you make your sound. There's lots to cover here, so if you're ready to get into this somewhat provocative discussion, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#081// Is there such a thing as "right place" and "right time" when it comes to breakthrough?  Do you think you have to position yourself when it comes to seeing the promises of God come to pass? Is it all up to you to find the exact right place and right time to access the provision of God? And if so, how do you figure those things out?Do you realize how much we actually think about these questions, even if we're not talking about them out loud? It's human nature to wonder -- "Did I do something wrong? Is that why this breakthrough isn't happening? Should I have not done something? What do I need to do so I can get things moving?" We've all thought these things when we've felt stuck or delayed, right?The (Biblical) truth is, being positioned for breakthrough is a joint venture between us and God. There are some things that only He can do, and then there are some things that we must do to find ourselves at the right place, at the right time, with the right heart, ready to receive. Are you ready to learn what these things are? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and let's jump into this episode!REGISTER FOR CONFERENCE: Hey, Sis!

Love and acceptance when it comes to imperfections is something we all must embrace in or out of the church. Homosexuality or sexuality struggles are sometimes condemned in the church. We all must love one to save one and not condemn anyone. SB Favor and Toni Howard discus the importance of loving verses condemning someone with sexuality struggles.

Success is not dependent upon your position as head of the class, nor is it singularly related to being voted most likely to succeed. In fact, you can create significant success without a far-reaching vision - But you do have to dream and believe, and you do have to be willing to do what most won't. That was the not-so-secret trick that our guest today, Former Obama White House Official and current CEO of Values Partnerships and Gauge, knew and practiced. He found success despite not being the most prolific performer in school and not being the biggest visionary to dream a dream. That fact is what makes today's episode so powerful. Joshua has a message for those who don't wake up every day feeling like the world is their oyster. Today's episode is powerful, so please tune in and let Joshua help guide you to your gift.

#080// How's your faith feel these days? Seriously, though, is it feeling tired? Tired faith feels like reacting instead of responding. It feels like it's defensive a lot of the time, and that it lacks what it needs to get to the finish line. Tired faith breeds disappointment and bitterness. Tired faith can leave you hopeless and feeling like there's just no point. But that's not the kind of faith God gives to us, so what can we do to fire up our faith and get it feeling fully alive again?That's what this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast is all about! We'll talk a little bit about how faith gets tired, why you definitely don't want to keep going with tired faith, and what some telltale signs of tired faith are. Then I'll share five ideas for firing up your faith and making sure it never gets tired again. Are you ready to do this? If so, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

#079// Is is possible -- Biblically speaking -- to accelerate breakthrough?  We've all been there. Going around the same mountain for the umpteeth time and wondering, "Will this ever end? Will I ever get out of this desert? When will I stop feeling so stuck?" And when you talk to your Christian friends, they point to a litany of scriptures to show you this timeline is "good" for you; that it's refining you and perfecting your character and all those sorts of things. But deep down you really just want to know -- "Is there any way to make this part go faster? Can't I just get to the breakthrough?"So what do you think? Does the Bible give us any evidence that accelerating breakthrough is a real possibility for those of us who believe Jesus and follow him? And if so, how do we do it, like, pronto?

Imagine you were smart, I mean rocket-scientist smart, MIT smart, and you became a nuclear engineer, while earning a PH.D. in urban planning, but you also felt a calling to become a minister. Arkansas native, Dr. Chris Jones, the son of two preachers and father to three daughters, felt called to serve the people of Arkansas, the place where he and his family had lived for the past 200 years. So what would you do if you had this amazing life as a private citizen, but your faith was calling you to give a voice to the people who have been ignored for generations? Would you and your wife stay where you were so as not to uproot your family? Or would you together decide that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few and run for Governor of the state that you called home?

Can you think of a brand that has done something in marketing in the last few years, not just with influencers, but marketing overall, and they've immediately had to put out the fires of a PR crisis because their campaign was culturally insensitive?  I mean, how can you not think of a few. From L'Oreal to Amazon to Disney … some of the biggest brands, and certainly even small businesses, have either been disingenuous supporting efforts like Black Lives Matter or Pride, or gone to far worse extremes like some brands being accused of stealing ideas or designs from minority creators or businesses.  The problem in these circumstances is the lack of diversity and inclusivity at the decision-making level means white people are making decisions about non-white cultural themes. Not smart.  While the solution is certainly to drive more diversity and inclusivity at all levels of brands and the agencies that serve them, that won't happen overnight. There has to be an interim solution to help brands and agencies better understand the communities they're trying to serve.  Now there is.  And it underlines a major theme in our thesis and discussion of influence marketing.  Joshua DuBois is the CEO of Gauge, a research and insights platform of sorts, that allows agencies and brands to tap into cultural and community leaders to better understand the communities and cultures they represent. Need a focus group of thoughtful African-American thought leaders to gut check your latest ad campaign? You can find that on Gauge. While that is astonishing and much needed, what's more interesting to me, however, is the treatment of influence in Gauge's approach. It's not an app where you can filter and search for influencers … those with big online social media followings. It's an app where you can find people who actually influence communities.  Civic leaders, journalists, academicians, activists … these are the “influencers” DuBois has collected in Gauge. He joined me to talk more about the platform and the concept of influence versus influencers last week. He should know the difference, for sure. DuBois served as the executive director of the White House's Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships in the Obama Administration. He also authored the best-selling book of President Obama's devotionals. More impressively to me, however, DuBois has been recognized by The Root and Ebony magazine as one of the most influential African-American leaders in the country. Needless to say, it is an honor to have him here. We also tended to my own personal journey of understanding the African-American experience which I think you should hear. My journey has unlocked a lot of growth for me. I hope it can for you, too.  And be sure to download the great resource Storyblok has published to make you smarter.

#078 // What's your "position" on the whole pre-tribulation/post-tribulation rapture timeline? For many years, my husband and I were firmly set on the pre-tribulation rapture theory. We'd had a number of conversations about it, had looked at some scriptures concerning it, and had settled into a certain understanding. And then, last summer, as I drove over to Orlando for a bit of a break, an unsettling and persistent question came to me: Do you *really* believe the rapture happens pre-tribulation? I knew the question wasn't just something my bored, driving brain was coming up with. No, I felt it. It was coming from the Lord. And so, as I normally do when the Lord asks me a question, I assumed the answer wasn't a simple yes or no. I took a page from the prophet, Ezekiel, and responded, "Only you know the truth, Lord. So what do I need to know? And what should I believe?" What He then showed me changed everything. I am now, firmly, on the post-tribulation rapture wagon, and I'm sharing all about the journey to getting there on this week's episode.The Lord showed me two very major things as a result of revealing this post-tribulation rapture understanding to me, and the first one -- that believers can have a very different experience than non/pre-believers, even in the midst of corporate/cultural calamity and turmoil -- is what I'll be unpacking for much of this episode (the second "major thing" I'll get to in a future episode). As believers, we are *blessed* to know a different experience because of Jesus, and there's a reason for why we need to have this different experience right in the midst of tribulation -- in front of non/pre-believers. We're going to dig into that "why" during this episode.So are you ready to jump in? If so, I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . .

Award-winning movie director, writer and producer John K.D. Graham joins me to talk about how the Bible and storytelling leads him in the faith-based films he makes, the latest one being shot in the Columbus GA area called "The Greatest Inheritance," starring Jaleel White and Mena Suvari. Make sure to subscribe to this podcast! After a sneak peek at that film, for which he was the lead director, (5:20) we talk to this founder of Mustard Seed Entertainment about what it was like to make a movie in the midst of the COVID pandemic, how that "leap of faith" went and what they learned about safety for the future. He said God made a way! (10:25) There are stereotypes about faith-based movies, and Graham talks about that, how to get audiences to watch, especially with more places to stream like Pureflix where his movie "Switched" (starring Denise Richards and John Schneider) was voted a fan favorite. (17:25) He talks some too about working with bigger name actors and actresses, and why they may choose a Christian-based film, like Jaleel White and Suvari. (22:05) I also ask Graham about the infamous moment at the Oscars, Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, which he said was extreme but indicative of the times. Our guest for the "Run The Race" podcast also enjoys helping future filmmakers like at his alma mater the Savannah College of Art and Design. His advice: Go do it! He also gets some fitness while shooting a movie. (30:05) In his writing and directing of movies. Graham talks about how faith and the Bible influences that storytelling, following God's lead. (34:49) He also talks about the branding of Mustard Seed Entertainment, providing family friendly things for people to watch. (44:25) Before my closing prayer, the segment "Food for Thought" is about the movie-like fairy tale run of the UNC Tar Heels in March Madness, including their new coach being candid about Jesus.
