Life can throw so much at us—unexpected challenges, significant transitions, and the everyday pressures in our personal and professional lives. Recently, I experienced overwhelming emotions when my family received nearly 50 boxes of items from our house that survived a fire. We've also been navigating the stress of selling a home, living in a hotel, and buying a new home in a new state. Needless to say, it's been overwhelming! So today, let's chat about Overcoming Overwhelm!  In this episode, I specifically chat through the stories of biblical figures who faced overwhelming situations, including practical steps for navigating overwhelm in your life. Here's a sneak peek into what I share:Moses: Learn how Moses dealt with the immense burden of leading the Israelites and how God provided support to help him carry the load.Elijah: Discover how Elijah found rest and spiritual reassurance after a major victory left him feeling vulnerable and overwhelmed.Job: Reflect on Job's experience of profound loss and suffering, and how his trust in God's wisdom brought him solace.Ruth: Understand how Ruth navigated the uncertainty of widowhood and a foreign land, and how her faithfulness led to new beginnings. Friends, feeling overwhelmed is a natural part of the human experience, but you don't have to face it alone. By leaning into Jesus and taking practical, intentional steps, you can navigate life's challenges with resilience and hope. You are not alone, and together, with God, we can overcome overwhelm! Reflection QuestionsAre you carrying burdens alone that could be shared?

Dating from 1467-1603, the Sengoku or ‘Warring States' period is known as the bloodiest in Japan's history; an era of continuous social upheaval and civil war which transformed the country. Shogun-led authority was shattered and 150 years of murder and betrayal followed as fearsome warlords ruled local territories with unflinching ruthlessness. In the first episode of this series delving into the history behind the latest Assassin's Creed game, Assassin's Creed Shadows, Matt Lewis and Dr Christopher Harding discuss the origins of the Sengoku Period. Together, they explore how political power was organised in Japan during this time, introduce some of the key players, and discuss how the seeds were sown for Japanese unification. Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit. Hosted by: Matt LewisEdited by: Ella BlaxillProduced by: Joseph Knight, Peta Stamper, Matt LewisProduction Coordinator: Beth DonaldsonExecutive Producers: Etienne Bouvier, Julien Fabre, Steve Lanham, Jen BennettEnjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Friends, today we're diving into the power of asking God for the impossible on the She Impacts Culture Podcast. Reflecting on my experiences and powerful Biblical examples, we'll explore how bold, faith-filled requests can lead to extraordinary outcomes. I discuss:The importance of stepping out in faith and asking God and others for the seemingly impossible without fear of rejection.Jesus' question, "What do you want me to do for you?"The bold requests of the two blind men (Matthew 20:32, Mark 10:51, Luke 18:41) and the daughters of Zelophehad showcasing their faith-filled persistence. This episode challenges you to consider what you truly need or desire and to approach God with boldness and faith. Whether it's a personal need or an impossible dream, don't hesitate to ask. Who knows what miracles await when you step forward with courage and faith? Join me as we learn to boldly ask for the impossible and witness God's extraordinary work in our lives.Reflection QuestionsWhat is it that you need or want right now that you haven't yet asked for? What's holding you back from making that bold request?What “impossible” have you been too fearful to ask for? Why?Episode Takeaways"Dare to ask for the impossible, and watch God turn your bold prayers into miraculous realities.""Bold faith invites God's miraculous provision into the seemingly impossible situations of our lives.""When we step out in faith and ask for the impossible, we align ourselves with God's limitless power and grace.""Faith isn't just believing God can, but boldly asking Him to, even in the face of the impossible.""God's miracles often begin with our bold, faith-filled requests for the impossible.""When we boldly ask God for the impossible, we open the door to witnessing His extraordinary power and faithfulness in our lives."Connect with Jen:Website: https://drjenbennett.com/ #BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9mInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/Dr. Jen Bennett is a passionate educator with over two decades of experience.

How often do we cling to the familiar simply because it makes sense to us and is logical?”  In this episode of the She Impacts Culture podcast, we explore how to move beyond comfort and predictability to embrace the change God's calling brings. Today's episode is all about Beyond Logic & Embracing Change.Today, Jen is specifically chatting through:Logical Thinking vs. Faith: How does logical thinking sometimes hinder us from stepping into uncertain opportunities that God calls us to?Clinging to Comforts: Identifying the good things in life (job, home, etc.) that can become comfortable crutches, preventing us from accepting God's calling into a new season of life.Faith Over Familiarity: How can faith give us confidence to move forward even when we don't have a clear view of the destination?Friends, God's calling often leads us beyond what's comfortable and familiar. Embracing faith over logical thinking allows us to step into the opportunities He has prepared for us, even when they challenge our sense of predictability. If you're feeling the tension between clinging to comforts and following God's calling, I encourage you to listen to this episode, reflect on your relationship with change, and boldly trust that God's plan is greater than our understanding. Reflection QuestionsWhat good thing are you holding onto that might prevent you from experiencing God's greater blessings?Is there a familiar comfort or success that you find hard to let go of, even though God may be calling you to something new?Is logical thinking keeping you from stepping into what God is calling you to, simply because it doesn't make sense to you?Can you give up what's predictable, sensible, logical, and good for what God is calling you to?Nathan Metz: The Other Side of the Lake Sermon: https://youtu.be/a-VYHm5HaA8?si=1nPzKXD3fkKxt1Qg Connect with Jen:Website: https://drjenbennett.com/ #BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9m Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/Dr. Jen Bennett is a passionate educator with over two decades of experience.

Friends, today I'm compelled to share a message that the Lord has continued to press upon me over the past year. This message centers around Jeremiah 29:7, which states, “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” It's a verse and message that I can't get out of my mind, and today, I want to share with you what the Lord has impressed upon me: Seeking the Welfare of the City.  Some of the main points I dive into include:The Call to Seek the Welfare of the City: Jeremiah 29:7 reminds us of the importance of loving and serving our communities.Answering the call to Marion, Indiana: My personal story of answering the call to move to Marion, Indiana, and the initial emotional challenges faced.Motivation to Work for the City: We are called not to withdraw from our cities and communities but to actively pursue their well-being. Our own welfare is intertwined with the well-being of the city where God has placed us.Ways You Can Begin to Seek the Welfare of Your City: I share some practical, actionable ways you can begin seeking the welfare of your city: Pray, Learn, Enjoy, Open, Engage, and Be. Friends, our faith calls us to actively engage with and enhance the places where we live and work. Whether you are called to a thriving metropolis or a struggling community, the message remains the same: seek the welfare of the city where God has placed you. Through prayer, continuous learning, embracing community life, opening your doors to others, active engagement, and being a good neighbor, you can live out your faith and make a meaningful impact. Fully embrace the call to seek the welfare of your city, for in doing so, you will also find your own welfare.Connect with Jen:Website: https://drjenbennett.com/ #BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9mInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/Dr. Jen Bennett is a passionate educator with over two decades of experience.

​Welcome to a new episode of the She Impacts Culture podcast! I'm excited you're here with me today because I have an important message to share. It's all about being Placed For A Purpose.  In this episode, we'll explore the story of Joseph in the Bible, who faced many challenging situations but eventually realized that he was placed for a purpose in his work. Many Christian women in various job roles today need encouragement and guidance, especially when they encounter discouragement or criticism. It's disheartening to see fellow sisters in faith divided over differing opinions on women's work roles, with some suggesting women should only stay at home while others label working women as feminists. However, I want to emphasize that God calls each of us to different paths. I hope that today, you will be encouraged and reminded that there's a purpose for you wherever you are in your journey.  I specifically discuss: How God has placed you where you are for a reason, even if it doesn't match your original expectations. The importance of standing firm in your faith and values, even when you face challenging situations at work. The idea that you are on a path toward leadership and should strive for excellence even when circumstances are challenging. Understanding that just like Joseph, God is with you and will help you succeed, even when it might not seem that way. Friends, in closing, I want to leave you with this encouragement: You have been placed for a purpose. Regardless of where your career journey has taken you or where you find yourself today, know that God has a plan and a reason for where you are. As we've explored the story of Joseph, we've seen how he overcame immense challenges and found purpose in his work. Likewise, you, too, can navigate the ups and downs of your career with confidence and faith. Stand firm in your beliefs, pursue excellence, and trust that God is with you every step, even when the path seems uncertain. Remember, your work is meaningful, and you have the potential to make a significant impact for the Kingdom. Keep trusting God, and may your journey be filled with growth, fulfillment, and God's unwavering guidance.  ​Connect with Jen:​Website: https://drjenbennett.com/​#BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9m Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/​LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/ Dr. Jen Bennett is a passionate educator with over two decades of experience.

Resist the enemy's attempts to sow doubt and stress, and instead, stand firm in your calling. Your work is significant, and you have been created to thrive in it.  Questions to Consider:Am I prioritizing my relationship with God in my daily work routine, and if not, what steps can I take to incorporate faith into my work life?How does my work align with my Christian values and principles, and do I feel a sense of purpose in what I do?Have I sought guidance through prayer when faced with a stressful work situation, and how has it helped me find peace and clarity?In what ways can I actively trust in God's plan for my career, even when faced with uncertainty and challenges?Are there specific Bible verses or passages that resonate with me when dealing with work-related stress, and how can I apply them in my life?What role does gratitude play in my work life, and how can I cultivate a more thankful attitude, even in challenging circumstances?Am I taking care of my physical and mental well-being while navigating the stresses of work, and am I seeking professional help if needed?What adjustments can I make to prioritize rest and family time?How can I use my work as an opportunity impact culture for Christ, even in a stressful environment? Connect with Jen:Website: https://drjenbennett.com/ #BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9mInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/Dr. Jen Bennett is a passionate educator with over two decades of experience.

Friends, I'm thrilled to be back! I'm excited to give you a quick update. But more so, I want to share a message of encouragement for those navigating tough seasons in life. In the face of adversity, we often encounter obstacles that seem impossible. Still, it's in these moments that our faith and resilience are tested and refined. I want you to know that you're not alone in your struggles.  ​In this episode, I specifically chat about: How challenging circumstances can have a purpose. The importance of recognizing how the enemy seeks to hinder God's work in our lives Maintaining faith and resilience during difficult times God's unchanging promises, even during turmoil​Friends, I want to leave you with this truth: God's promises are unchanging, His love unwavering, and His plans for you unbreakable. Remember that you are equipped to overcome no matter what challenges you face or the obstacles that may come your way. The enemy may prowl, but he has no power over your destiny. Stay steadfast in your faith, trust in God's guidance, and keep moving forward in the calling He has placed upon your life. In the words of Ann Voskamp, "the unexpected and challenging moments can be the very catalysts that transform you into a reflection of Christ." Embrace these seasons, knowing that God is at work in you and your impact on culture for Christ matters. Until next time, keep shining your light and making a difference in your corner of the world.​​Connect with Jen:​Website: https://drjenbennett.com/​#BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9m Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/​LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/ Dr. Jen Bennett is a passionate educator with over two decades of experience.

This experience was not only a soul-nourishing adventure but also a perfect preparation for my upcoming role as the Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship & Endowed Faculty in Business Entrepreneurship at Indiana Wesleyan University. I'm super excited about the possibilities that lie ahead, and I'm equally thrilled to contribute to building an entrepreneurship program that empowers students to embrace their vocational calling as Christ-centered entrepreneurs.

Do you often find yourself seeking the approval of others, longing for validation and acceptance? Have you ever compromised your values or neglected your own well-being to please people? If so, you're not alone. In today's episode, I'm diving into the topic of the idol of approval. Friends, here's the truth: It's time that we embrace the freedom found in our true identity in Christ. It's time to shed the heavy burden of seeking external validation and step into a life of authenticity, joy, and purpose.​In this episode I specifically chat through:​The influences of approval that we see and hear every single day Recognizing the signs that indicate an unhealthy attachment to seeking approval Five practical steps to break free from the idol of approval  Friends, seeking the approval of others can hinder our personal growth, rob us of joy, and prevent us from fulfilling our God-given purpose.

We are fearfully and wonderfully made, loved by a God who calls us His own. Let's prioritize seeking God's approval above all else and trust in His guidance. By doing so, we release the heavy burden of seeking validation from others and instead, step into a life of genuine fulfillment, peace, and purpose. It's time to break free from the idol of approval and embrace the truth that our worth and value come from a loving Creator, not the opinions of others.  Connect with Jen:​Website: https://drjenbennett.com/​#BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9m​Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/​LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/ Dr. Jen Bennett is a driven visionary communicator who has a unique way of connecting with her audience.

I've been thinking A LOT about the changing landscape of work. And here's what I wholeheartedly believe: If you want to stay competitive in the marketplace, you must think and act like an entrepreneur.

Simply put, intrapreneurs bring new ideas and approaches to their workplaces. More and more businesses, organizations, ministries, nonprofits, universities, etc., are looking for leaders who think and act like entrepreneurs. What does this mean? In today's episode, I specifically share:

God has given you your specific experiences and stories not to keep it to yourself but to encourage the lives of others. There is somebody out there who needs to hear what you have to say.—Dr. Jen Bennett Influence—the world is all about being a celebrity. But yet if you look through the pages of the Bible, God used the most unlikely people to influence this world. There is a big difference between worldly influence and kingdom influence. God is just looking for a willing heart. If your heart is open, He's going to use you.—Dr. Jen Bennett Don't measure your success by what you see. Many times in online communications and social media, you are impacting the lives of people that you don't see.

In April of 2021, Jen launched the She Impacts Culture podcast, a podcast for trailblazing, faith-based women who want to lead with influence and impact culture for Christ.   Notes and Quotes:  What keeps us back from sharing things on social media is fear… that then keeps us from sharing the message that God wants us to share.—Dr. Jen Bennett God has given you a voice for a reason. God has given you your specific experiences and stories not to keep it to yourself but to encourage the lives of others. There is somebody out there who needs to hear what you have to say.—Dr. Jen Bennett Influence—the world is all about being a celebrity. But yet if you look through the pages of the Bible, God used the most unlikely people to influence this world. There is a big difference between worldly influence and kingdom influence. God is just looking for a willing heart. If your heart is open, He's going to use you.—Dr. Jen Bennett Don't measure your success by what you see. Many times in online communications and social media, you are impacting the lives of people that you don't see. God works in the unseen moments.—Dr. Jen Bennett   Verses:  John 4 Book of Job   Links:  Here's Dr. Jen's book #Be Worth Following Dr. Jen's Instagram: Dr. Jen Bennett Check out our 100th episode of God Hears her!

Friends, I'm so excited to have Private Investigator, Lori Morrison back on the She Impacts Culture podcast! If you listened in last week, you know that Lori never set out to be a private investigator. Her life was comfortable. But deep down, she knew she wanted something different. She wanted her work to matter. She wanted to be a person of impact.   In today's episode, Lori and I tackle some new topics as it relates to faith + work. We specifically chat about:

Maybe you can relate: In this season of life, you find yourself comfortable. Life is comfortable and your career is comfortable. But…deep down inside, you feel like something is missing.

Friends, today's monthly communication tip is short and sweet! But here is one thing I want you to know: You Have Influence! And when it comes to our social media platforms, you can use that influence positively or negatively. How we use social media matters. And the words we share on social media can either open doors to deeper conversations or close them. Our purpose for being on social media shouldn't be about building our kingdom, but instead, it should be about building the Kingdom of God! In today's power-packed episode, I share with you six specific questions to ask yourself before posting on social media. Many times, God can use us to impact culture right through our computer screens and on social media!May today's episode encourage you to use social media in God-honoring ways! Connect with Jen:My Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9mInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/Did you miss my last communication tip episode, When You Feel Inadequate for the Work in Front of you?

Jen's sharing five of the lessons in her book including:Be successful.Be different.Be real.Be fearless.Be social.Show notes:kimstewartmarketing.comConnect on Instagram:@kimstewinspired@drjenbennett#bookmarketingmania

Can being on Facebook, or any other social media platform, make you vulnerable to being victimized? My highly specific answer to that is - it depends. You made a great choice joining me today because I'm going to show you just how you might be giving away more than you should, and what to do about it. We'll also talk about how to use your influence on social media to make a positive impact on the world. Our book this week is True Crime Online by J.A. Hitchcock, and our guest is Dr. Jen Bennett. Jen is the Host of the She Impacts Culture Podcast, an author, and a speaker. She's also the Strategic Communications Professor at Indiana Wesleyan University where she equips college students to discover their voice, develop their expertise, and lead with influence to impact culture for Christ. She has a fascinating book, “Be Worth Following,” about how to use social media for good. Spring is here and I've been out planting stuff! If any of you like to garden, you know you always have extras of something and it's such a joy to be able to share those with people. Well if you've done what it says in James 1:5 and asked God for wisdom, you'll have so much that you'll have plenty of that to share too. And that's how we take on the bad guys. And gals. Sadly there are a lot of predatory women out there too. But if we ask for the wisdom to know who is out to harm us or others, we can be proactive in keeping ourselves and others from harm. We need lots of wisdom after a crime has been committed as well. Maybe you'll be asked to serve on a jury. Pray for wisdom! Maybe you have information about someone involved in a crime, but you don't think it's important. Pray for wisdom! Maybe someone who has been victimized has reached out to you for help. Pray for wisdom! That's a prayer you can never pray too often. Link to buy "Be Worth Following" Visit Jen's website for all of her social media connections and more!

Guests: Heather Heuman Ministry/Business: Sweet Tea Social Marketing   Heather Heuman is a digital missionary. You heard right – God has her in the social space teaching others about marketing but through the lens of being a missionary. Her career has taken a few turns, but when Dr. Jen Bennett mentioned the term “digital missionary,” Heather knew that described what she wanted to be. Her business has taken on several forms, and most recently, God has told her to stop doing the academy that she was doing to focus on what He wants her to do. Each of us might have programs or dreams that we are holding on to tightly, and it's time to ask God what He wants.   Today Heather continues to help her clients “tame the online beast” and show up authentically in their workspace. She unapologetically talks about Jesus because He's important to her. How can each of us take this lesson and apply it to our own lives? Heather's final tip might be the answer: find the one thing you need to communicate and don't hide. Be all that God created you to be in your industry, and then share it! Resources from today's show: Heather is offering our listeners a FREE 31-Day Content Calendar! Oh, and did we mention that she is also an author?
