On this Episode, I share my perspective on how we measure our lives, our process, our growth.

Size matters but not always. You must size up a situation or a person where it really counts. It's not just by the numbers but by one's actions and their impact. One must measure a person's character over one's wealth. Small acts of kindness can deliver large amounts of hope. But being small minded, tearing others down to look better and sizing people up by their material wealth rather than strength of character is petty. Be open-minded and not small-minded. Hope has no boundaries.Fearless Fabulous You is broadcast live Wednesdays at 12 Noon ET on W4WN Radio - Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com). Fearless Fabulous You Podcast is also available on Talk 4 Media (www.talk4media.com), Talk 4 Podcasting (www.talk4podcasting.com), iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Audible, and over 100 other podcast outlets.

The world often tells us that we're not good enough. In order to fit in we have to look and act a certain way to be accepted and included. We have to perform…we have to measure up.

He looks at our ❤️ and true heart change only comes from having faith in Jesus, not through self-effort.Join us as guest speaker Bryan Roe digs into Philippians Chapter 3 and examines why a life lived through faith in Christ is key to living a life that is Better By Far.

Expanding Your Circle of Love “Measuring Up” Luke 6:37-38 Are we measuring up to Jesus' standard? Am I listening? (27a) Am I loving well? (27b-35a) Am I resembling the Father? (35b-36) (Matt 5:44-45) What am I doing? (31, 37-38) Truth: God's glory and presence fill the whole earth and universe - except the heart of man. We do not measure up to God's standard. We do not hold others to a just standard. God knew this and sent One who did measure up. (Eph. 3:19 NIV) Jesus' death on the cross pours life into those who believe in Him giving forgiveness and hope and peace to the fullest measure! What does measuring up look like? Accept the free gift of God in Christ Invite Him to make His home in your heart - to make you more like Jesus Display the character of God in how you love Him & others judging | forgiving = release condemning | giving = surrender We do not forgive and give to get but to let go It's not about what I get, it's about what God gets: glory & praise We need to up our measurement to God's standard In Christ, He has forgiven and given to the fullest measure and poured it into our laps He expects us to forgive and give to others with this same measurement! Measuring up is a heart issue - allow God in to make your heart truly His home so His presence will fill the universe and you Core CHRISTlike Characteristics: Relates with Other-Centered Love, Spirit-Led Servant   LifeGroup Questions: Applying the Teaching to Our Life Begin Life Group with prayer - invite the Holy Spirit to speak and move among you. Ice breaker: Whether it was a job you worked or school or other moments in life, describe a time that you felt you didn't measure up to the task or challenge in front of you. Looking back over this series, what area do you feel you've grown in when responding to Jesus' challenge to listen, love, resemble the Father and do good to others? Thinking of that person who you struggle to forgive, or the one you don't wish to give anything to, how can you take a step towards the love and generosity Jesus is talking about here? How does the Hindu/Buddhist term “karma” compare and differ to what Jesus is teaching in this section? Read Jesus' story of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18:21-35. Apply Jesus' instruction in this passage to the story - how does the story help elaborate on Jesus' point? How can we live differently because of this? End your time in prayer over these things. Encourage and strengthen each other as you pray especially in the growth we all need to be Spirit-led lovers who forgive and give abundantly for God's glory!

Along with some insightful analysis of the story, the pair also hit on topics such as how can we tell if others... or ourselves... are good people, how much guilt factors into our decision making, how to define selflesness, is guilt a necessary evil, the utility of considering other peoples' thoughts into our decision making, what is entitlement and when is it unhealthy, how far do good intentions go, finding the good in someone vs bringing out the good in someone, is morality objective or subjective, do we need religion to have morality, effort behind intentions, and so much more.

The feeling of not feeling "enough," or like you're not doing enough, or not popular enough, or not ready enough is not as uncommon as you think. The unnecessary pressure we put on ourselves can tarnish and damage our confidence and keep us from the life we are meant to life, not to mention make life harder on yourself than it needs to be.

Today's show talks about five ways moms are called to be shepherds in their homes. We define what a Shepherd is and what it looks like for moms of all ages. Our conversation circles around some vital elements like mom guilt, God's sovereignty, guarding what God has entrusted to you, pursuing wholeness, and continuing to grow in each stage of motherhood. As moms, it is easy to feel like we have to do this all perfectly, and if we don't, we are messing up our children. Still, we invite you into this conversation today to pause and consider a different perspective of walking toward transformation instead of perfection. It's a journey of holding your kid's hands as you walk closer to your Father in heaven and bringing your children along the walk. The five steps we discuss today are trusting in the sovereign God, Heeding the shepherd's call, Embracing obscurity, pursuing an integral life, and cultivating leadership competency. We hope you enjoy this episode today!Follow us on Instagram:@intentional_parents@brook_mosser@Emosser@philmcomer@dianewcomer FREE TEXT Message Daily Devotional

There are people all around you who have not yet heard the Gospel message. Ask God to place someone in your path today who needs to hear the Good News!

How do you measure your value?    If you're anything like me, you've measured it by the square footage of your house, the size of your bank account, the number on the scale, and the accolades of your kids. Yet none of these things tell the real story of who we are to Jesus—and that's why measuring up gets us in trouble.   Today we're praying for our kids as they struggle with this same temptation of comparison. Growing up in a day and age inundated with social media, it's hard not to weigh looks, grades, athleticism, and talents against those around them. So we're focused this week on praying for our kids to look to Jesus and not the world for value and identity.    As we pray through Psalm 84, I encourage you to really consider verse 10. Take a few minutes to read this Psalm and get a jump on where we're headed in praying for our kids.  P.S. We would be so grateful if you'd consider sharing Pardon the Mess with a friend. Encourage those you know and love to join us in praying each week by forwarding this email or sending a link to the show. Thank you!

The Family Playbook, or standard operating procedure, is the tool every mama needs to save time and stress-less when chaos ensues at home. For new biz owners, I also help simplify systems on social media and other business platforms to automate processes to get their business up and running quickly and efficiently with how-tos and hands-on coaching. I have helped hundreds of women to be more productive and self-sufficient in their homes and businesses allowing them to reclaim control of the chaos. www.chaosncookies.comhttps://www.instagram.com/chaosncookies/https://www.instagram.com/theheathergreco/https://www.facebook.com/Chaos-n-Cookies-111324364538688https://chaosncookies.com/shophttps://linktr.ee/hsteinker Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!
