Want to unlock a life of true blessing? What if I told you the key might surprise you?  In today's episode, I'm getting real about something that's transformed my life: biblical generosity. I know, talking about money can feel awkward, but I truly believe this message is vital. I want to share with you a conversation I had with my twin sister, Jasmine, that changed my perspective on giving. I'll also dive into what scripture says about generosity and how it's not just about finances, but about a heart surrendered to God. I've seen firsthand how obedience in this area leads to incredible blessings, and I want to share that with you. In this episode, I'm exploring: What the Bible really says about tithing (10% giving) Understanding offerings and generosity that go beyond the tithe The concept of sowing seeds with faith and expectation Sacrificial giving—what it means to give "above and beyond" Why the heart behind your giving matters most How I've experienced blessings through obedience and generosity in my own life I hope this episode encourages you to live generously and to seek those real, deep blessings that come from God. Remember, you're loved, you're valued, and you're doing amazing! Now go make some tacos and be a blessing to someone today!  Have questions or want to share a photo of your tacos, tag me @biancajuarezofficial.

Generosity is a key principle in living a blessed life. Tithing is considered the baseline of generosity. Understanding the concept of sowing and reaping is crucial. Generosity should come from a willing heart. Above and beyond giving demonstrates deep commitment. It's important to give with the right intentions. Scripture encourages us to give generously. The act of giving reflects our relationship with God. Living generously can lead to spiritual and material blessings. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca's new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don't Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

Are you running on empty? Like you're giving so much but have nothing left for yourself? What if there was a way to truly refuel and find balance in life? Join my friend DeAnza Jarrett and I for Day 2 of the Personal Growth series as we discuss the essential concept of replenishment – what it is, why it matters, and how to make it a regular part of your life.

Replenishment is not just about self-care; it's about refueling all areas of life. Disciplines are different from replenishment; both are necessary. Replenishment can take on different cadences: daily, weekly, quarterly, and annually. Integrate replenishment into your life, even in busy stages. Invite others into your replenishment activities when possible.

Have you ever felt like your leadership journey was more about enduring pain than achieving success? In this sneak peek of a leadership development session held at Revere Church, I explore the challenges and pain often associated with leadership. It emphasizes that pain can be a catalyst for growth and the importance of developing healthy coping mechanisms. Drawing inspiration from biblical figures like David, the session highlights finding strength in faith and building a supportive community. My focus is to encourage everyone to embrace their leadership journey, acknowledging pain, and seeking growth through faith and connection with others. Some key topics include: The role of community during crises Pursuing purpose amidst pain Addressing personal pain The value of trust Balancing discipleship with individual beliefs The impact of presence Finding God's guidance during difficult times can bring peace and help overcome the fear of pain and of having to prove yourself to others. Carefully consider the cost of discipleship, but also know that the rewards of faithfulness are always worth the challenges.  Share your challenges and also your victories by tagging me @biancajuarezofficial.

Can silence be a source of healing? Are you ready to embrace the power of silence in your life? Friends, I'm excited to introduce the profound concept of a "theology of silence". I have discovered the transformative power of finding strength in the face of betrayal through stillness and silence. It is so important to learn to share our stories from a place of healing and wholeness, rather than from a position of woundedness. Using the life of King David as a powerful example, I discuss the vital lessons of: Integrity: Maintaining moral and ethical standards even amidst trials. Honor: Honor up, honor down, and honor all around. Surrender: The profound power of yielding to God's will, even in the face of betrayal and challenges. I want to encourage you to reflect on your own journey of healing and consider the role of silence in your lives.  Share your story of how you are overcoming challenges and finding healing and tag and me @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Revere Church Honor Anyways // Cesar Delgado // Mark 6:1-6 Quote We honor up, we honor down, we honor all around. Takeaways Sharing stories from a healed place is crucial. Honor others regardless of their behavior. The Lord will fight for you; you only need to be still. Betrayal can come from both authority figures and peers. Integrity is essential in leadership.

We all have expectations of ourselves—how we want to look, act, respond, and achieve. But what happens when we miss the marks we set for ourselves?

Feeling lost or overwhelmed as the new year approaches? Discover how choosing a "Word for the Year" can provide clarity, direction, and intention for your life. Friends, I'm back with our annual word for the year episode. My heart is to guide you through the process so that you can discover your own word, which I believe will benefit your personal and spiritual growth.  The 5 Steps to discovering your word are: Evaluate: Reflect on the past year, identify areas for growth, and cultivate gratitude. Think: Connect with your feelings and emotions through meditation, prayer, or silence. Create a List: Write down 10 words, images, or feelings that resonate with your vision for the year. Refine: Highlight the words that stand out and evoke strong emotions. Decide: Commit to your chosen word and use it as an anchor throughout the year. I believe that if you invest time in this transformative exercise, your word will be a tool for setting intentions, finding direction, and aligning your life with your deepest values and aspirations.  This is a personal journey. Take the time to reflect, feel, and choose a word that will empower and inspire you in the coming year. And don't forget to share your word with me on social media by tagging me @biancajuarezofficial. I'm grateful for you and wish you a blessed new year!

Takeaways Reflection on the past year is crucial for future planning. Evaluating feelings helps in identifying what truly matters. Creating a list of intentions can clarify goals for the year. Being committed to the process is essential for success. It's important to celebrate blessings from the past year. The word for the year can serve as an anchor during challenges. Engaging in this practice can foster a deeper connection with faith. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here. https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca's new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don't Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors! ⋇ Subscribe to We're Going There on your favorite podcast app so you don't miss out on any of the great topics and conversations.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the holiday season? Let's take a moment to pause, reflect, and focus on the simple joys of life. Gratitude matters and it is more than just a fleeting feeling of thankfulness. It's a powerful practice that can transform your life. By cultivating gratitude, you can: Reduce stress and anxiety: Focusing on the positive aspects of your life can help ease stress and anxiety. Improve your physical health: Studies have shown that gratitude can boost your immune system, lower blood pressure, and improve sleep quality. Enhance your relationships: Expressing gratitude to loved ones can strengthen your bonds and deepen your connections. Increase your overall happiness: By focusing on what you have, rather than what you lack, you can cultivate a greater sense of happiness and fulfillment. Practical Tips to Practice Gratitude Keep a gratitude journal: Write down three things you're grateful for each day. Meditate on gratitude: Spend a few minutes each day focusing on the things you're grateful for. Express gratitude to others: Let people know how much you appreciate them. Volunteer your time: Giving back to your community can boost your sense of gratitude. Practice mindfulness: Pay attention to the present moment and appreciate the small things.

B RESOURCES/LINKS Takeaways Thanksgiving is a time to embrace gratitude. Desiring more can lead to emptiness and dissatisfaction. Gratitude is a powerful tool for joy and fulfillment. Practicing gratitude can transform our lives. Contentment is not wanting more, but appreciating what we have. Complaining can destroy our sense of gratitude. Gratitude should be a daily practice, not just a holiday sentiment. We are responsible for cultivating our own gratitude. Sharing our gratitude with others enhances its impact.

Why are we all so anxious? If it's not from one thing it's from another it seems. Maybe you feel anxiety over your relationships, your parenting, your life stage, your finances, your body or your missed expectations.

But if we are called to live differently as Christians, how do we live out the "do not be anxious" found in Philippians 4:6.

What does true friendship mean to you? How do you know when it's time to let go of a friendship? Friend, I LOVE you! And I know that friendship is so important in our lives. That's why my BFF Lauren and I dive deep into the intricacies of friendship. We explore how to nurture, grow, and gracefully let go of relationships as we journey through life's different stages.  We share personal insights on the complexities of relationships, emphasizing the importance of recognizing when it's time to let go of friendships that no longer serve us.  Some key takeaways are: Intentionality is key: Friendship requires effort and conscious nurturing to thrive. Vulnerability is essential: Sharing our true selves with others deepens our connections. Friendships evolve: As we grow and change, our relationships may naturally shift or end. It's okay to let go: Sometimes, holding onto friendships that are no longer fulfilling can be detrimental to our well-being. Losing a friendship can be emotionally challenging, and it's important to allow ourselves to grieve. Share the dynamics of your relationships by tagging me @biancaolthoff and @laurenbronsonpetrous.

In a world that prides itself in being busy, having a packed calendar full of fun and productive things, is this possible? Join us as we talk about slowing down, thinking like Jesus and having the eyes to see who needs to be seen. Craving more from Going There the Podcast? Come be our friend!
