Episode 64:  Health, Habits and Having a Heart for Jesus with Pam Shaw In this powerful episode, host Cherisse Hixson welcomes mentor, Leadership Maximizer, Entrepreneur, Winning Strategist & Speaker Pamela Waldrop Shaw to discuss the sacred territory of our Identity, Habits, Health, and what it looks like to have a whole hearted surrender to Jesus. Pam shares wisdom gained through decades of developing women, building businesses, and encouraging others to live fully in their God-given potential. Key Topics Discussed: Spiritual Rhythms: Pam emphasizes the importance of daily habits that draw us closer to God, including early morning quiet time, listening prayer, journaling, weekly church fellowship, and working toward understanding the true meaning of Sabbath. The Power of Discipline: "When you have discipline in one area, it will bleed over. It will impact another area." Pam explains how establishing discipline in one area makes creating discipline in others much easier. Getting It in the Whisper: Pam shares how learning to recognize God's voice in the whisper rather than waiting for Him to shout has transformed her life and decision-making. Identity in Christ: "When God is enough, you are enough." Pam discusses the freedom that comes from understanding your true identity in Christ rather than comparing yourself to others. Mind-Body-Spirit Connection: Our spiritual, mental, and physical health are all connected. Pam shares practical habits for stewarding our bodies as God's temple, including nutrition, movement, and preparation. Memorable Quotes: "The Lord will delay a certain outcome or reward because either I wasn't ready or the people who were going to be part of that were not ready." "Before acting on an emotion or thought, ask yourself: Will this support the life I'm trying to create and the person I want to become?" "When he is enough, you are enough." "Getting it in the whisper means something different to me now because I've learned how to recognize who that whisper is—the Lord." "You cannot change anything until you change something you do every single day." Practical Application: Start your day with intentional quiet time with God before checking phones or devices Practice journaling prayers and listening for God's responses Prepare the night before by setting out items needed for morning routines Respect the hours of your day by "framing" your mornings and evenings Make conscious choices about nutrition and movement as stewardship of God's temple Connect with Pam Shaw: Instagram: @PamelaShaw LinkedIn: @pamelawaldropshaw Facebook: @allthingspamelashaw  Get your 90 Day Planner & Prayer Journal: Website: PamelaShawPink.com YouTube: Pamela Shaw www.pamelashaw.pink  Resources Mentioned: 90-Day Design Your Life Live Your Vision Planner Prayer Journal "The Sabbath" by Abraham Heschel Dr. Caroline Leaf's work on mindset and brain health "Living Fearless" by Jamie Winship Head over to www.cherissehixson.com and join our Email List after hearing this weeks episode with Pam Shaw and be entered to WIN 2 Giveaways from Pam Shaw "90 Day Planner" & "Prayer Journal".

As we begin a four-week series entitled “Building a Life of Prayer,” we will focus on one of the stones in the foundation – listening prayer. By listening prayer, we mean a quiet and settled godward orientation where we hold ourselves open before God, free of striving, settled and attentive, seeking both to encounter and to receive from God, even when we remain silent. For God is alive and does not merely passively listen to our words of prayer but actively communicates to us through both his word and his Spirit, if only we have ears to hear. Join us this week, bring a friend, and let us together learn to better tune our hearts and our ears to hear the living God, who through the ages has been pleased to speak to those who will listen.

This week Paul continues in our Teach Us To Pray series, exploring listening as we pray and what that can look like.

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, we delve into the transformative power of Splankna, exploring the formal agreement styles that facilitate inner healing through prayer and emotional deliverance. If you want to listen to PART 1 of this two part series first, click here.  Understanding Agreement Styles Have you ever felt trapped by negative patterns or emotions? This episode introduces you to the concept of agreement styles within the Splankna modality, a key to unlocking emotional freedom and holistic healing. Learn how these agreements, often rooted in lies or false vows, can keep you in bondage and hinder your mental health. Types of Agreements Transfer Agreement: These subconscious agreements are made when we desire to protect someone we care for and so we unintentionally agree to a negative symptom in hopes that it will help someone else get free from their traumautic experience. It can also be to transfer blessings to someone else to appease them.  Assault Agreement: This can feel like a direct emotional attack from the enemy. The devil is a liar and he cheats so this can be a situation where someone fears extreme threat or danger. In that moment, we agree to what the enemy has for us subconsciously in hopes that we are spared.  Counter Agreement: An agreement that directly counters an attack that someone has suffered.    If you are just jumping into the podcast, start by listening to our first episode so you can get up to speed on what Splankna is.

Our latest episode of the Woman of Wholeness Podcast is all about Listening Prayer. This intentional form of prayer invites us to ask God specific questions, seeking His answers to remind us of who He is, who He says we are, and to provide guidance in our daily lives. Listening Prayer fosters a more intimate relationship with the Father, offering a peaceful and freeing way to live. By continually seeking His plan and being reminded of our true identity in Him, we can shed the heavy weight and confusion the world often imposes on us. Starting your day or reflecting weekly with these questions can transform your life. Prayer isn't just about seeking answers for our needs or healing; it's about deepening our connection with God and living in His truth. Tune in to learn more about this transformative practice and how it can bring clarity, peace, and purpose to your life. Give Listening Prayer a try and see how it changes you. Who do you know that could benefit from this? Share this episode with them and encourage them to experience the power of Listening Prayer.

Do our attachment styles, maturity levels, and relational skills affect our prayer life? In this series, we look at listening prayer and inner healing. What is listening prayer and what is it not? This conversation focuses on prayer at the lifestyle level and then on R.E.A.L. prayer at the healing level. How do we invite Jesus into our emotional healing, and what do we do if we encounter obstacles in this process?  Whether you are a prayer minister or you are working on your own emotional healing, there are common obstacles that can get in the way. This episode will deal with some of the common obstacles that keep us from connecting with God.  This compilation episode covers Season 1, Episodes 36-38.

Today's episode of the Summer Refresh series covers one of the most common (though sometimes uncomfortable to share) dreams. That's right, we're talking about bathroom dreams. If you've had dreams of going to the bathroom or trying to find a bathroom, you are not alone! Previously aired in Episode 11 of Season 1, this common dream is broken down and shame around it is eliminated…or should we say, flushed? Bathroom dreams are valuable and are meant to encourage us regarding what God is doing in our lives.Wondering what a toilet could possibly represent? How about a sink? Had any shower dreams? Are you in a public bathroom or a private bathroom? Where is it located? All of these and more are covered in this bite-sized yet power-packed episode so that not only can your dream self feel relieved, but so can you as you connect to what God is revealing through bathroom-themed dreams.“Depending on what's going on in your life, God is speaking to you being in a time or in a season of going through healing…or spiritual cleansing in your life, or the need for that.”“These kinds of dreams can be the linchpin. They can be what's holding everything together at times…helping name what you're going through…why you're in a moment of this, why does it all-of-a-sudden feel like this past emotion is coming back up.”More on Breathing Underwater Membership HEREInterested in 1:1 coaching with Margaux: Free Consultation HERE Join the Community and Newsletter HERE Email: margaux@permissiontoreign.comInstagram: @permission_to_reignIntro Music by Coma-Media from PixabayImage by Claire Fischer from Unsplash

Originally aired in Episode 10 of Season 1, today's Summer Refresh is all about alignment with what God is actually saying when it comes to judging the interpretation of a dream. Whether you're interpreting a dream for yourself, others, or, if someone else is interpreting for you, we cover 4 valuable questions to consider as you are judging the interpretation of a dream.4 questions to consider when thinking through interpretation: Is the interpretation or message in line with Scripture? His character + nature? Is there an inner witness, or knowing in your spirit, that this is from God? Does this message or interpretation draw you closer to God, or cause you to feel further away from Him? Does this message or interpretation line up with what God is already saying to you through other avenues? (People, Scripture, other dreams, prophetic words, etc.)Margaux also lays down some key ‘tent pegs' to keep us in alignment with God's heart and within the bounds of spiritual wisdom as we judge the interpretation of dreams. This includes being aware of any lenses we might be wearing that could cloud us from seeing the way God wants us to see, or color the interpretation in a way that isn't the heart of the Father. To learn more about these 4 questions and uncover the specifics of common lenses we can wear while interpreting, check out this episode of the Summer Refresh series!*Scripture References: Matthew 10:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:21; 1 John 4:1; Galatians 5:19-23; Psalm 23:2-3; Exodus 34:6; Romans 12:19; Matthew 11:28-30; Isaiah 46:10; Acts 10:34; Ephesians 1:18-21: 2 Samuel 22:33“What God is speaking through a dream is always redemptive, it always comes from His voice and it's usually to lead you, or to correct in some way, or to speak truth, healing, and alignment.”“He is not afraid to brag on us. He is not afraid to call us out to be great…to be beautiful, and to stand in the fullness of who we are. He is also not a respecter of persons…He does not give certain things to some people and not to others.”More on Breathing Underwater Membership HEREInterested in 1:1 coaching with Margaux: Free Consultation HEREJoin the Community and Newsletter HERE Email: margaux@permissiontoreign.comInstagram: @permission_to_reignIntro Music by Coma-Media from PixabayImage by Claire Fischer from Unsplash

Originally aired in Episode 5 as the first of many live interpretations to come, this session features Margaux's best friend, Brienne Trauter. Brienne is also an avid dreamer and brings a powerful dream to interpret using the questions we discussed in last week's refresh.This episode is so beneficial when it comes to applying the basics of dream interpretation! It's packed with insightful teaching moments that Margaux later discusses while debriefing the episode. For instance, Margaux and Brienne were able to identify the source of this dream using the framework discussed in last week's refresh.We also learn in this episode that the interpretation of the dream will always resonate with the dreamer - even if you feel something else strongly! Interpretation is all about finding a few keys for the dreamer to go forward with and talk to Lord about, even if you don't get the complete interpretation immediately (though sometimes you do!).Hungry for more practical dream interpretation insight? Be sure to check out the refresh to uncover more golden nuggets of wisdom as we dive into the meaning of Dolphins + Teslas!*Scripture References: Proverbs 24:3-4, Proverbs 9:1“Dreams are so multifaceted. We're talking about the word of God. We're talking about something that is living and active. So this could have interpretation now, and then six months later have another layer, and another facet in three years.”“The purpose of all of our dreams is to bring us into deeper relationship - into encounter with God and connection with ourselves.”More on Breathing Underwater Membership HEREInterested in 1:1 coaching with Margaux: Free Consultation HERE Join the Community and Newsletter HERE Email: margaux@permissiontoreign.comInstagram: @permission_to_reignIntro Music by Coma-Media from PixabayImage by Claire Fischer from Unsplash

In the second part of our Summer Refresh series, we revisit some essentials originally aired in Episode 4 that will help set you up for success when identifying the sources of dreams and knowing where to start when interpreting. Grab a pen and paper because this is chock-full of dream interpretation GOLD! Taking her own advice, Margaux also goes through two examples of dreams from her life to model interpretation for us.4 sources of our dreams: Body, Soul, Demonic realm, GodBefore interpreting dreams: Write the date! If you happened to be somewhere that's not your norm, this could add to interpretation. Write a title for your dream. For example, if it were a film, what would you title it so you could easily pick it out from a pile? Write down your emotions. Were they primarily positive or negative? This is an indicator of the source and can help with interpreting symbols within the context and with the witness of Holy Spirit.Then, invite Holy Spirit to come be with you and to help interpret the dream.4 Questions to ask when interpreting dreams: Who or what is this dream about? What area of your life does this pertain to? Are there any recurring themes in the dream? What are the main focuses of the dream?*Scripture References: John 6:53-69; 1 Corinthians 1:27; Mark 4:21-25; Proverbs 25:2; 1 Corinthians 2:10“God is not the author or source of all dreams, but this is secondary in importance to His sovereignty and relational pursuit of us through them.”“The spirit realm operates on attention. If we're going to talk about the currency of the Kingdom, we're going to talk about faith. We have all as humans been endowed with this gift of faith, and we get to choose where we deposit this currency.”More on Breathing Underwater Membership HEREInterested in 1:1 coaching with Margaux: Free Consultation HEREJoin the Community and Newsletter HERE Email: margaux@permissiontoreign.comInstagram: @permission_to_reignIntro Music by Coma-Media from PixabayImage by Claire Fischer from Unsplash

Remember when you dreamt you were naked, your teeth were falling out, or you were pregnant? You are not alone! These are among the most common dreams. Originally aired as Episode 3, this episode kicks off our Summer Refresh series. Last week, Margaux shared a prophetic word about experiencing refreshing this summer as we step into a new season (literally and spiritually).We'll revisit key basics of dream interpretation from previous episodes to stay sharp. As the title suggests, we'll discuss the importance and power of symbolism in dreams. How do you know if your dream is literal or symbolic? The vast majority of the time, dreams are SYMBOLIC - just as God often used symbolism in the Bible to communicate, He still uses that same language to speak in your dreams.When deciphering dream symbols, here are some helpful guidelines:1) Rely on Holy Spirit for interpretation!2) Consider what the symbols mean to you personally and their biblical context.3) Google the prophetic meaning of the symbol - no shame in the Google game! Ask Holy Spirit to highlight anything He wants to speak through your search.This episode offers key practical tips for interpreting dreams with Holy Spirit's guidance, and of course, we reveal interpretation for the three common dreams mentioned above!*Scripture References: Mark 4:1-2; 1 Corinthians 2:9-14“What do I mean when I say that dreams are symbolic? I mean that often times you will have a dream where the things or the people in your dreams actually represent something else.”“We are receiving information in parables and the invitation here is to get into the quiet place, sit with God, listen to your heart, and He's going to describe and tell you what He was talking about in those dreams.”More on Breathing Underwater Membership HEREInterested in 1:1 coaching with Margaux: Free Consultation HEREJoin the Community and Newsletter: HERE Email: margaux@permissiontoreign.comInstagram: @permission_to_reignIntro Music by Coma-Media from Pixabay

Prayer is an art. Anyone can pray, of course, just like any kid with a marker can make art. Like any art form, though, it's a skill that anyone can get better at by learning from the masters of the past and practicing it in your everyday life. In this ten-week teaching series, as we continue to learn what it looks like to “devote ourselves to prayer” in 2024, we're going to explore what the Bible says about the art of prayer and make room to practice it.

Jennifer Love longed to experience the life of Christ and the transformational power of prayer like she was reading in the Bible. As she sought the Lord asking for this life, He began to answer her. Through a series of experiences with her prayer group in church and on a mission trip, Jennifer began to see spiritual breakthrough in her prayer life. Her prayer team at church saw movement in areas that had long been stagnate. Ultimately, Jennifer's husband and children experience transformation in their own lives as God began moving powerfully through Jen's prayers.    We talk about Jen's journey, the way this has impacted normal life as a wife and parent, as well as how God has used prayers for discernment and healing to open missional doors that had long remained closed. You'll be inspired and encouraged by Jennifer. Her story might sound exceptional, but if we believe the Bible, her story should be normal for each of us!   Jennifer Love leads Pray Through It with her husband Don Love. She has been involved with leading a college listening prayer ministry for 5 years and has been part of her church's prayer team for 8 years. She holds a BS in Secondary Education and an MAR in Pastoral Counseling. She is the author of the Bible in Stories and a blogger for Pray Through it and Intentional Traditions. Her passions are to creatively teach the Bible to children, to write about what God is teaching her and to meet with others to help lead them through life's issues to freedom in Christ.
