Let's talk about the power of journaling through faith. Special guest Megan Nielsen unpacks how Christian women in business can connect deeply with God through prayer, journaling, and meditating on scripture. Whether you're facing personal or professional challenges, or you simply want to grow spiritually, this episode offers guidance on tuning into the Holy Spirit, embracing obedience, and staying anchored in your faith, to get clarity on your life's purpose. Megan is a Kingdom Life Coach, host of The Kingdom Life Coaching podcast, author, and retreat speaker who lives in Colorado Springs, CO. She offers Christ-centered coaching for those seeking kingdom alignment and strategy during a transitional season in faith, relationships, or vocational calling. She loves discovering and extracting what God puts in the hearts of women that will help them walk in greater confidence, fulfillment, and purpose. She launched her coaching business in 2020 and empowers women of all ages to listen to the voice of God and make big, bold moves for greater influence and impact! In her spare time you can find her enjoying a Broadway musical, downhill skiing in Colorado with her hubby and friends, or traveling around the country visiting her young adult children! "You fill yourself up with Christ, with the word of God. That's what meditation is." "If something isn't bringing the fruit of the Spirit, cut it out. Jesus talks about pruning the dead branches." "Journaling is not just about writing prayers. It's about capturing the moments when God speaks." "Pray, journal, and fast. God will reveal things you never imagined." In this episode: Faith-based journaling strengthens your connection with God, helping you remember His messages and grow spiritually. Christian meditation involves filling your mind with the word of God, contrasting with secular ideas of emptying the mind. Writing down God's word and personal revelations is a powerful tool to anchor you in difficult times. Trusting the Holy Spirit's leading, whether in personal decisions like adoption or professional ones, ensures you're aligned with God's will. Obedience to God's calling might not always be easy, but journaling provides clarity and confidence when life gets hard. Bible Verses Mentioned: Jeremiah 33:3 – "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." Habakkuk 2:2 – "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it." John 15:5 – "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit." Psalm 1:3 – "That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season."

Today's episode is another installment which looks at using sewing skills to save money. With the rise in energy and fuel costs, many of us will be keeping the heating off in our homes as much as possible this winter. So how can we use our sewing skills to keep the chills at bay? I answer this question by sharing clothing, accessories and homeware projects we can make to keep our bodies and our spaces as toasty as possible. I discuss how costs can be kept down further by utilising the wealth of free patterns and tutorials out there, as well as tips for using second hand textiles and including items you might already own.
