How I Know

This past Sunday was Grandparent's Day. This episode is to honor my grandmas and great grandmas, which includes my husband's grandma. I learned something from each grandma on how to love Jesus and my kids better. Learn with me from these older and wiser women of God who I love!Books mentioned: "How I Know... God Answers Prayer" by Rosalind Goforth"Married For Life" by Stuart and Jill Briscoe"Passion & Purity" by Elisabeth Elliot

Have you ever asked yourself "Who Am I In Christ?" or "What Does God Say About Me?" or "Who Does The Bible Say I Am?" If you are wondering about your identity in Christ, this episode of my Christian podcast for women is going to help you. I will share with you a detailed Who Am I In Christ list and scriptures. These are 52 Biblical Affirmations received in my conversations with God. Find all of them here: https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/who-am-i-in-christ   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE OF THE ANNA SZABO SHOW: Identity in Christ blog My Christian canvas wall art on Etsy 52 Devotionals on Pinterest Christian Shirts for Women on Amazon Christian Shirts on Teespring #52Devotionals My shop AnnaSzabo.com/shop My addiction story Reading challenge 2020 My TEDx speaker story Knowing Jesus vs Quoting The Bible Spiritual Warfare and The Armor of God My Experience with People from Seminary How To Be Kind 20 Love Lessons in 35 years Gratitude Journal 2017-2019 WHO AM I IN CHRIST? You are a Princess, a daughter of the King of the entire Universe. And so am I. When I made this very statement during my baptism in front of a few thousand people, many people came to talk to me about it. Read my My Testimony here.    The next time I said it at church, women laughed. But I asked: “Do you believe that God is the Sovereign King He says He is?” And the ladies said yes. I asked: “Do you believe that God created you and He is your Heavenly father?” The women said yes. Ok, Princess. They agreed. There are 52 great things you can tell yourself in a form of Biblical affirmations because they are what God says about you. How do I know? How I Know the answers to the question "Who Am I In Christ?" I searched the answer to the same question while struggling with severe depression and suicidal thoughts during my divorce with the husband who abandoned me after 4 months of marriage.  I know what it feels like to think you don't even matter, that no one cares, and that you are unloved. I couldn't stand my self-destructive thoughts about my life anymore, so I searched the Bible to answer that one burning question I had: “Who does God say I am?” My Biblical Discoveries about who I am in Christ Below is a list of 52 amazing, freeing, liberating “I am” statements I want you to memorize to help you battle that negative self-talk next time it attacks you. I divided these Biblical affirmations into 4 groups on purpose. The “Fundamentals of God's Grace” group is about the foundational truth about Jesus, Cross, and Salvation. The “New Identity in Jesus” group is about being a child of God and a new creation, beautifully made in the image of God. The “Christ-Like Character Qualities” group is about having the discernment from the Holy Spirit, being confident and wise. The “Biblical Outlook on Life” group is about our hope for the future. James 1:22 says “be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” What it means to me and you is that we must first seek to understand what God says about us, but then we must remember His word and we must practice His view of us, every single day. Are you in? If so, memorize the following Biblical affirmations. Who Does God Say I Am?

Getting off track in your weight loss journey can be catastrophic. Or it can barely be a few little blips in your entire journey. It’s all in your mindset. How I Know that I’m Getting Off Track Noticing over-indulging Feeling sluggish Getting off track is horrible as it shifts your momentum from weight loss to weight gain. And then it snowballs. But you can stop this snowball right in its tracks by maintaining your thoughts and emotions to get back on the right track in your weight loss journey. As soon as you start to see a shift from weight gain to weight loss, it can easily change your mentality from calm to frantic. Especially as you try to find an instant fix for the problem. But putting yourself back on track won’t happen instantly. Thinking that it can be fixed immediately is what keeps you in the yo-yo of gaining and losing weight.  The biggest problem that keeps putting you off track and catastrophic weight gain is the mentality that you will always be perfect with your diet and losing weight. Hint, hint, you probably won’t be, and that’s ok! You have to learn to manage your emotions around making mistakes. To look at a mistake at face value and not wallow in it. Then, and only then, can you fix the mistake before it snowballs. Allow yourself to make mistakes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EMERGE IS OPEN!

I can say, without any doubt…You’re Definitely a 10 on the Attraction Scale It all comes down to having a little perspective and seeing the big picture. I have to ask… What was your gut reaction to the title of this podcast? Everyone has an attraction scale number or range…what is yours and why is it where it is? People’s tendency to rate themselves is usually based on a general scale…mostly focusing on the people more attractive than themselves. That’s not good because it automatically makes you feel “less than”. and it varies based on how you feel about yourself ...

In this episode, Tom interviews David Conley, a professor at the College of Education at the University of Oregon.   For more than 20 years, Conley has been a leading authority in American education policy. His seminal book, College Knowledge, outlined what students need to know and be able to do to succeed in college and careers. His famous Think, Know, Act, Go outcome framework was foundational for Summit Learning and My Ways from NGLC. Conley’s new book, The Promise and Practice of Next Generation Assessment, offers 10 principles for better assessment — and a vision for how assessment can be integrated into learning and be a positive experience for learners.   In this conversation with Tom, David discusses his new book in-depth, explaining the 10 principles of next-generation assessment — five of which are student-centered and the last five which are school-centered. David also outlines a good week in a dream middle school that uses next-generation assessments and explains how students becoming good help-seekers is critical to being successful in post-secondary or careers.   Key Takeaways: [:15] About today’s episode with David Conley. [1:10] Tom welcomes David to the podcast. [1:58] About David’s education in Bilingual Education and Curriculum Studies. [3:07] How David’s Ph.D. in Curriculum Studies helped inspire his new book, The Promise and Practice of Next Generation Assessment. [4:34] About the start of David’s book; from blog to fully-fledged book. [5:05] David talks about the 10 principles of next-generation assessment he outlines in his book, starting with the first one on how “next-generation assessment is focused on learners’ needs first and foremost.” [8:37] David describes the 2nd principle: “next-generation assessments view development from a novice to expert continuum.” [9:58] David elaborates on the 3rd principle: “learners understand the structure of knowledge, not just the facts. Online assessment interrogates the structure of knowledge.” [12:24] David expands on his 4th principle: “good assessments would promote ownership of learning and help develop self-knowledge.” [14:23] Tom asks about the second half of David’s principles, which are more school-centered. He starts with the 6th, which focuses on how good assessment can make information actionable for teachers in schools. [17:04] David talks about making assessment information more useful for learners and describes the two ways that schools generally aggregate information now. [19:34] How becoming good help-seekers is important to be successful in post-secondary or careers. [22:04] About the iNACOL Book Party for Tom’s new book, Better Together. [22:45] David’s sense of what actionable information for teachers in schools would look like. [25:06] Why David and Tom are so excited about David’s 7th principle on how next-generation assessments will have high cumulative validity. [29:01] David explains the 8th principle on how assessment should acknowledge once you pass the basics understanding of something, learning becomes more context-specific. [31:35] How David views the 9th principle on “harmonizing instructional improvement and accountability.” [33:34] David answers his 10th principle: “How do good assessments take equity into account?” [36:57] David talks Tom through a good week in a dream middle school that uses next-generation assessments.   Mentioned in This Episode: College of Education — University of Oregon College Knowledge: What It Really Takes for Students to Succeed and What We Can Do to Get Them Ready, by David T.
