Podcasts about our gifts

SummaryIn this episode, Benjamin Lee reflects on the concept of gifts, particularly focusing on the worst gifts he has received and how we respond to them. He shares personal anecdotes about ungratefulness and the importance of appreciating the thought behind a gift, regardless of its value. The conversation evolves into a deeper reflection on how our reactions to gifts can reflect our character and the potential impact of our own gift-giving on others.Chapters00:00 The Worst Gift Experience03:29 Reflections on Gift Reception07:01 The Impact of Our Gifts on Others

Write, My daughter. - What shall I write?[1] That the Triumph of My Immaculate Heart is very near. My beloved children, All of you, who were entrusted to My Motherly care by My Jesus as He was dying on the Cross. Since that Hour I have carried each of you – across all time – in My Heart. Since that Hour I have loved you as My children. All of you. Each of you. As My Jesus' Heart was split open by the lance, thus opening the floodgates of Grace and Mercy for all the children of God, so My Heart was split open by the pain and the obedience of that Hour – the mystical sword that rent open My Heart, allowing the infinite Love of the Father, of My Son, of the Most Holy Spirit of God to widen It, making It capable of loving and receiving all His children in this new Refuge prepared for them – a Refuge that has been present and active since then. How much you are loved, children. How much. I wish to speak to you today – the anniversary of My first Apparition to My little ones at Fatima. Children, do not set My Words aside – not these nor any of the Words I have spoken to you throughout the centuries – Words that have come forth from My Immaculate Heart – from the Heart of your Mother – to help you, to guide you, to correct you, to warn you. If I speak, I do not do so of My own accord – I speak the Father's Will for you. I speak My Son's Love for you. I speak the Divine Light shed upon you by the Most Holy Spirit of God. If you turn a deaf ear to My Voice, you are turning a deaf ear to the Voice of the Most Holy Trinity Who never ceases to speak, to communicate with His children; Who – as the Everlasting Font of Life and Love – ceaselessly pours out His Mercy in myriads and myriads of ways, continually drawing your hearts back to His Own. By My example and by My prayers for you –My ever-present intercession on your behalf before the Throne of God – I teach you how to be truly attentive to the action of the Most Holy Trinity, that you might cooperate with this Divine Action in every moment of your lives. Blessed are they who, setting aside their own criteria, allow Me to form them according to the Divine Will and the work for which each soul was created. Come to your Mother, and allow Me to remove all the cobwebs of so many useless reasonings, of so many harmful and prideful thoughts, of so many lies that the enemy has woven around you. How can you see clearly, if your eyes are still covered by the scales of pride and arrogance? Come to Me, little children, that I might remove these stubborn scales with My tears, and cleanse your eyesight in order to see the true Face of My Jesus – the true Face of the Father. And that you might recognize the Signs We are giving you for these times – that you might see and recognize the unfolding of the Father's perfect Plan, and humbly receive the Grace you need in order to take your place in My Army for the accomplishment of this Plan. Children, this is the Hour that unites all other Hours – all other Ages. Each preceding Hour with its Grace, its purpose, its fulfillment; each preparing the coming of the next Hour. Each Hour acting in the present moment of the Father's Plan, which stretches from the beginning to the end of time, and carries all souls and all events to the fulfillment of this Plan for His Great Glory and the salvation of all of His children. My beloved children, contemplate with Me the beauty of this Plan of the Father's Heart. Contemplate with Me its vastness, its greatness, its Wisdom. Its Justice and Mercy. My children, open your eyes, but above all open your hearts through true docility, humility and trust, that the Light of the Most Holy Spirit of God might enlighten you, and, being able to see, you might be able to cooperate in His Work. This is what I ask of you during these days of the Cenacle – of this great New Cenacle – in which I join you to My Heart and to the prayers of all of your brothers and sisters, who throughout the centuries have asked for His Coming, who have prepared by their Faith and prayers and offerings your cooperation with His Grace, and who bring you encouragement in this darkest of Hours. I join you to My Heart, children, and I ask that – entering the safe refuge of My Heart, by means of your consecration, your entrustment to Me – you make an act of humility, Faith, and trust, that I might show you the Truth – that I may place it in the center of your being, like the Jewel of incalculable value, the Anchor you need in these times full of confusion and lies of the enemy, but full to overflowing with the Mystery of the Divine Action unfolding before you. My children, the Father's Plan is active everywhere and at all times, bringing about the eternal good for all of His children. Who can limit His Action? Who can say, “God would never do that”? Who – from such a limited, darkened, fallible, minuscule mind – can say to Him Who Is, to the One Who created all that is, to the One Who knows and sees every movement of every heart – who dare say to Him, “You cannot do this”? My children, My children – silence. Silence before the Mystery of God. The loving and trusting silence that is the filial act of adoration to the Father – recognizing that He is your God. And you are His creature, His child, willed into existence by Him. Silence before His Perfect Will – that is the perfect act of obedience – that does not question, does not doubt. “God knows why.” The thrice-holy Silence that humbles the soul, that beautifies it and makes it capable of receiving the Divine Light. The Silence, My children, that is born of true, living, simple FAITH. My beloved children, consider all the times that I have been sent to you to warn you and to bring you the Light of God to see the reality surrounding you as God sees it. HOW MANY TIMES, CHILDREN. AND HOW LITTLE I HAVE BEEN HEEDED – IGNORED, AND EVEN MOCKED BY THE ARROGANCE OF SO MANY OF MY BLINDED CHILDREN, THUS BLOCKING TORRENTS OF GRACE THAT WOULD HAVE DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN TO HELP MY CHILDREN. Actions have consequences, My children. And the setting aside, the despising of Our Gifts, has tremendous consequences not only for the souls who reject them, but for the whole world. Have you not yet understood that each time a soul rejects Our Grace, it affects all of Our children? And each time one soul responds to Our Grace, obeys the Will of the Father, We can pour forth rivers of Grace upon allof Our children? Do you see how important then, is your receiving or not receiving Our Gifts, Our Grace? My beloved Army, do you begin to understand now what it is that I need from you in order to lead you into battle? [gentle smile] Do you understand how it is you fight? How it is you help Me reconquer the hearts of your brothers and sisters? IT IS THROUGH FAITH – LIVING CHILD-LIKE FAITH – AND THROUGH YOUR ABANDONMENT TO THE FATHER'S PERFECT WILL. And do you begin to understand too then, what the greatest obstacle is to Our Plan? The horrendous LACK OF FAITH that produces contempt for Our Things, Our Words, Our Actions, and that is born out of the seed of pride planted by the enemy and fed by arrogance and fear. And how this seed of pride [has] fallen into so many of the souls of My Priests and Consecrated children, and found fertile soil, turning these souls into unrecognizable brambles of thorns and bitter fruit, useless – completely useless – for Our Plan.[2] Do you understand now, why then, the Fire that will come down from Heaven is needed to consume all these brambles and free My children from the corruption of pride? [Sigh] My children, this is why I ask you to come to Me, to enter the refuge of My Heart, to humble your heart and your mind before the Divine Mysteries – and to let Me cleanse your eyes and hearts, that you may be able to receive the fullness of the Light of the Most Holy Spirit of God, and you might see as He does, and, being able to see, you might cooperate with His Plan. My children, I have said to you that His Plan stretches from [the] beginning to [the] end of time, from one end of the earth to the other. Consider, then, that all Our Works cannot be contained or limited by any human consideration or reasoning. My children, how much it grieves Me when you attempt to limit Our Works. How many unnecessary obstacles you place with such reasonings in the paths of My little ones who believe with child-like Faith that Our God can do as He pleases, when He pleases, what He pleases – HE IS GOD. HOW MUCH PAIN has been caused to My little Messengers, the “voices” entrusted with Our Voice, to carry Our Words to you. HOW MUCH THEY HAVE BEEN MADE TO SUFFER. BY THE INCREDULOUS AND PROUD, ESPECIALLY AMONG THOSE FROM WHOM THEY SHOULD RECEIVE THE GREATEST HELP – PRIESTS AND CONSECRATED SOULS. I DO NOT FORGET THEIR PAIN. Nor the humiliations they were subjected to – their Glory now. My Melanie and Maximin; My Lucia, Jacinta and Francisco; My Bernadette; My Conchita, Mari Cruz, Mari Loli, and My other Jacinta [smile].[3] My beloved sons and daughters in Medjugorje, who still receive Me and bear witness to the Mission entrusted to them. And My beloved children – who gave their lives in bloody deaths out of love for Me and My Jesus in Kibeho.[4] And how many more, whose names are engraved in My Heart for their fidelity and their obedience and their endurance. HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM. And how it pains Me to see them reviled. Do you not see that it is MY VOICE that speaks to them, across the ages? And that this VOICE contains the VOICE of the Most Blessed Trinity, and that this VOICE is LOVE and MERCY? And that if you were attentive to It, you would perceive the DIVINE MYSTERY OF GOD at work in that moment, in that place, for you, for the accomplishment of the Father's Will at that moment. Every Divine Action has eternal effects – it can never be limited to one time – its effects are felt, they continue to produce fruits of everlasting life. But each of these Divine Actions is given at a precise time, for a precise reason, My children, and should be received by you as such – as helps sent to you at that moment, for that moment. My children, if the Father sends His Gift, His Action, will He not also send His Light that you might know that it is He Who is acting? If you are united to Him by Grace, by your Faith and humility, if you know His Voice, His Heart, shall you not recognize His Voice and His Action? And, recognizing the Father, shall you not also be given light to recognize the deceits of the Ancient Serpent, the eternal Ape, who in his pride mocks all the works of God? Come to Me, My little ones, if you wish to know the Father's Heart, if you wish to recognize His Voice, whether He speaks in silence, in action, or through His Messengers. In My Heart you find the Heart of My Jesus, Who is One with the Father. The Most Blessed Trinity has made My Heart your Refuge, a safe haven in which you can meet, and know, and love the Father, the Son, and Their Most Holy Spirit. My little ones, the Father's Plan is at work. Do not fear, do not despair. My Army is being gathered. I Am uniting you day by day, continuing to form you, to show you what it is that We need of you, how you cooperate in Our Reconquest. At each of My visits I have asked for what was needed as a response from My children and from My Church at that time– to allow the Father's Plan to be fulfilled at that time, to prevent unnecessary suffering. What I ask of you now – what is needed of you now – is your FAITH, TRUST, ABANDONMENT and HUMILITY – the true Silence of the attentive heart, ready to receive the order of his Captain in order to fight in the Great Reconquest. HOW CAN YOU ACT AND FIGHT IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO DO – AND HOW CAN YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEING ASKED, WHAT THE ORDER IS, IF YOU ARE NOT ATTENTIVE TO YOUR CAPTAIN'S VOICE? AND HOW CAN YOU HEAR YOUR CAPTAIN'S VOICE IF YOU DO NOT SILENCE YOUR THOUGHTS – YOUR OWN VOICE – YOUR CRITERIA, YOUR WILL? AND HOW CAN YOU SILENCE YOUR MIND, WILL, AND HEART IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE? My children, WHAT I ASK OF YOU IS YOUR FAITH. YOUR HUMILITY. YOUR OBEDIENCE. YOUR TRUST. Come, children, let us bow down together before the Father of Mercies, before HE WHO IS, and, with Me, offer Him your love, your adoration; and together with Me say, “Father, may Your Will be accomplished in me and in all of Your creatures. Here I am, Lord, to do Your Will, to love You and serve You for all eternity.” My little children, I bless you with My Motherly Blessing. I gather you to My Heart in these days of the great Cenacle – the time when I gather all of My children, all of the Church into My Heart, into this holy Refuge prepared for you – as the Hour fast approaches when the Divine Light will pour down, will thunder down upon all that is to reveal once again the TRUTH. Do not be afraid, remain in Me. Remain in My Son, under the shelter of His Blood, behind the Shield of His Cross. My beloved ones…[smile]…I love you. I bless you, and I bless your families. Entrust them to Me and do not be afraid.   Amen. He is coming. To Him be given all Glory and Adoration and Thanksgiving and Praise for all ages. To the ONE WHO IS, WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO COME, TO THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, TO THE SON ALL-HOLY, TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOST HOLY – HE WHO GIVES BREATH TO ALL THAT IS – TO HIM MAY ALL HEARTS ADORE, AND LOVE, AND OBEY. AMEN. Your Heavenly Mother, Who leads you by the hand, Mary Most Holy, Queen of all the Angels, Queen of the Apostles and Mother of the Church, Who loves you and protects you. ---------- [1] On some occasions – such as in this Message – when I am given the order, “Write, My daughter,” my soul immediately perceives the serious and solemn tone with which it is given and thus it responds without thinking, “What shall I write?” – words that seem to me to express the attitude of the soul of being particularly attentive to what is going to be said, as if this act of special attention and obedience were needed from me before the dictation can begin. And I perceive that what They say right after – usually a short phrase – is of great solemnity and importance. They have a different weight than Their other words. [2] I understood that, though it is especially harmful when the souls of Priests and religious fall into pride, that this spirit of pride has spread into many, many souls, destroying simple Faith in them, allowing the spirit of godlessness to spread widely and deeply. “And will not God vindicate His elect, who cry to Him day and night? Will He delay long over them? I tell you, He will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will He find faith on earth?” (Luke 18:7-8) [3] Our Lady is confirming Her Apparitions – and those who received them – at LaSalette (1846), Fatima (1917), Lourdes (1858), Garabandal (1961-1965), Medjugorje (1981-present), Kibeho (1981-1989). I had a sense that even though She mentions these specifically, She is also including all Her other “minor” Apparitions throughout the world in recent times – and there are many. [4] As I was transcribing these paragraphs I thought of how varied the witness required of all these “messengers” is – some were asked to offer their lives while very young, enduring much physical pain and illness; others were asked to enter religious life; others have been asked to wait, and wait, and wait for the fulfillment of the events announced to them, while living ‘normal' lives in the world; others must endure the complete and constant invasion of their privacy; others are asked to offer their lives in bloody martyrdom; others to offer the white martyrdom of life-long humiliations, misunderstandings, loneliness. All have had to endure the tremendous trials of Faith. It seems to me that there is a great lesson in this variety of witness – even though the experience itself of receiving an Apparition is very similar, what is then required of each person can be very different.

Episode 73     Those of us who desire to become more loving and self-transcending can mistakenly believe that our God-given desire for self-fulfilment is something innately selfish. If we are afraid to embrace and lean into our longing for self-fulfilment, we will not be able to become the unique individuals that God created us to be.In this episode I explain how our longing for self-fulfilment is a powerful means through which God calls us into the specific and unrepeatable personal vocation we are each created to live - which is in turn the most loving and fruitful service we can offer others.Share this episode via this episode page.RESOURCESClarity Consultative-Coaching with Ann YeongCHAPTER MARKERS(00:05:05) - Introduction(00:06:37) - The Objection(00:09:40) - Created for Self-Fufillment(00:12:53) - Serving where the Need is(00:18:12) - Aligning Ourselves to Our Gifts and Purpose(00:22:26) - Sometimes being Hindered(00:26:26) - The Orchestra Analogy(00:31:15) - What about the Cross?(00:35:25) - PRAXIS: Listen.

The Victory of Our King-The Giving of Gifts-The Use of Our Gifts

Pastor Garry goes a step further with what we learned last Sunday on being Stewards! As we see things getting scary we need to "TAKE RESPONSIBILITY" with the gifts and obligations God has given us, especially in the last days.

By Elizabeth Prata Many people worshiped Jesus during His earthly ministry. They bowed before Him and called Him the Messiah, Son of God, or other titles indicating they knew they were worshiping the one True God. Some people worshiped extravagantly. We think of Mary with her bottle of expensive nard, or David worshiping God with all his might before the ark processional. No one came farther or brought more expensive tokens of worship than the Magi, known as the Wise Men from the East. Their journey of about 900 miles was difficult, fraught with danger, and took months. Their gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh were expensive. But that was nothing to them. They journeyed, they found the child, they knelt before Him in humble worship. Though they themselves were considered rulers of sorts, when they saw His place they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. (Matthew 2:9). They knelt before a little child and presented their gifts of adoration. During this Advent, let us do the same. We do not have the blessing of an incarnated Messiah to bow to, that will happen later, but we can rejoice today with exceeding joy and present to him our precious gift: our bodies as a living and holy sacrifice. (Romans 12:1).

*This episode originally aired on August 9, 2019* On episode 68 of the Adorned Podcast we continue our series, “Our Gifts, His Glory.” We had the privilege of talking with Emily and Laura from “Risen Motherhood” about what it looks like to use the gift of motherhood for God’s glory. If you are not familiar with the Risen Motherhood ministry, they exist to encourage, equip, and challenge moms to apply the gospel to their everyday lives. On this episode, we discuss everything from Emily’s amazing fire building skills to how potty training and mountains of laundry will continually point you back to the gospel. Even if you are not in the throws of motherhood, we believe you will find encouragement through this conversation! Quotes: “Everything we have is The Lord’s. It’s all been given by Him; all of our gifts, every skill set, our personality traits, our tendencies. God gives those to His people and if we truly are not our own but we belong to God then every resource, every gift we have, is actually His!” -Laura Wifler “The neat thing about the gospel is that it makes us new and it changes everything about who we are.” -Emily Jensen “God is the one, in Christ who reconciles our responsibility with our inability.” -Emily Jensen “The great news of what God did for us is that He came and He said “I know that you’re not enough, but I’m going to send my son to be enough on your behalf and now before the throne of God, you are made good, you are made righteous, I see you and I see righteousness, I see patience, and kindness, and long suffering because I see Jesus. He covers us in front of God,”” -Laura Wifler “He is for my good and He is for their good, and I can trust Him.” -Emily Jensen “We are not above Christ and what He has done. He came to serve, he came to lay down His life, he came to deal with the dirty, stinky, messy, annoying needs that we all have.” -Emily Jensen “As moms, so much of what we do is unseen, but it does matter and God is refining and molding, and growing us in these days. He’s preparing us for whatever good works He has down the road. These days are not being wasted.” -Laura Wifler Resources: Risen Motherhood Resource Page Risen Motherhood Website *The beautiful music heard on today’s episode is by Katie Cobbs*

On Episode 70 of the Adorned Podcast we recap our last series “Our Gifts, His Glory” by discussing what God taught us through our conversations with all of the amazing ladies we were privileged to interview. We officially announce that our fall series will be a walk through the first part of the gospel of Matthew. If you are at all familiar with this podcast, then you know that we believe the context of what we are studying is so very important. That is why we spend some time during this episode discussing who wrote the book, when he wrote it, his purpose behind his writing, and what themes we will continually see as we read? We can’t wait to see what God is going to teach all of us as we continue to study His Word together! Quotes: “Don’t stop walking just because you might trip.” “Recognize, repent, and keep walking forward.” “If Jesus said it then it’s absolutely true and we should focus on what He’s saying.” “Matthew gave us God’s entire plan from Genesis to Revelation” -Spurgeon Study Bible “Matthew was writing this book to announce and affirm Jesus. What does your life announce and affirm?” “Matthew makes no division between history and theology. History is the basis of theology, and theology interprets the meaning of historical events.

On episode 69 of the Adorned Podcast we continue our series “Our Gifts, His Glory” with an encouraging conversation with Angie Likens. We discuss how a passion for discipleship led her to found the Proclaim Truth Conference. We attended this conference in January and absolutely LOVED it! To hear more of our thoughts on the conference you can go back and listen to episode 45. On today’s episode Angie shares how looking to those that have gone before us and collaborating with those around us, truly is what discipleship is all about. How do we do this while remembering that it is for God’s glory and not our own? Listen in to this conversation that is is full of so much wisdom, passion, and biblical truth! We pray that it encourages your heart as much as it did ours! Listen all the way to the end to hear how you can use the code “Adorn” to receive a special discount! Quotes: “The scripture is completely sufficient to reveal God to us.” -Angie Likens “We study The Word of God so that we would grow to hate what God hates and love what God loves.” -Angie Likens “God has a greater passion for His name than I can ever have.” -Angie Likens “God is faithful to His plan for His kingdom and His purpose.” -Angie Likens Resources: Books by A.W.

On episode 68 of the Adorned Podcast we continue our series, “Our Gifts, His Glory.” We had the privilege of talking with Emily and Laura from “Risen Motherhood” about what it looks like to use the gift of motherhood for God’s glory. If you are not familiar with the Risen Motherhood ministry, they exist to encourage, equip, and challenge moms to apply the gospel to their everyday lives. On this episode, we discuss everything from Emily’s amazing fire building skills to how potty training and mountains of laundry will continually point you back to the gospel. Even if you are not in the throws of motherhood, we believe you will find encouragement through this conversation! Quotes: “Everything we have is The Lord’s. It’s all been given by Him; all of our gifts, every skill set, our personality traits, our tendencies. God gives those to His people and if we truly are not our own but we belong to God then every resource, every gift we have, is actually His!” -Laura Wifler “The neat thing about the gospel is that it makes us new and it changes everything about who we are.” -Emily Jensen “God is the one, in Christ who reconciles our responsibility with our inability.” -Emily Jensen “The great news of what God did for us is that He came and He said “I know that you’re not enough, but I’m going to send my son to be enough on your behalf and now before the throne of God, you are made good, you are made righteous, I see you and I see righteousness, I see patience, and kindness, and long suffering because I see Jesus. He covers us in front of God,”” -Laura Wifler “He is for my good and He is for their good, and I can trust Him.” -Emily Jensen “We are not above Christ and what He has done. He came to serve, he came to lay down His life, he came to deal with the dirty, stinky, messy, annoying needs that we all have.” -Emily Jensen “As moms, so much of what we do is unseen, but it does matter and God is refining and molding, and growing us in these days. He’s preparing us for whatever good works He has down the road. These days are not being wasted.” -Laura Wifler Resources: Risen Motherhood Resource Page Risen Motherhood Website *The beautiful music heard on today’s episode is by Katie Cobbs*

On episode 67 of the Adorned Podcast we continue our series “Our Gifts, His Glory” with a conversation with Courtney Reissig. Courtney is a wife, mother, writer, and speaker that has a heart for helping women grow in their knowledge of God’s Word. She shares her story of how a potentially life-threatening diagnosis during her last pregnancy helped free her from some of her struggles by reminding her to steward her giftings for God’s glory. This conversation was a great reminder of God’s trustworthiness, his sovereignty, and his goodness. We pray that you are encouraged as you listen. Quotes: “We have a responsibility to steward the giftings that God has given us. We don’t get to just check out and not do it because we might be glory seeking.” -Courtney Reissig “Even if you’re not sure if your motives are right, keep moving forward and allow God to sanctify those motives as you move forward.” “So much of our discontentment, our comparison, our envy, and jealousy, all of those heart responses to what we don’t have, are owing to the fact that we think God isn’t trustworthy. When I remember all that He has done, I’m reminded that He is trustworthy!” -Courtney Reissig “God’s sovereignty paired with his goodness is just incredibly comforting.” -Courtney Reissig Resources: Glory in the Ordinary by Courtney Reissig The Accidental Feminist by Courtney Reissig *The beautiful music heard on today’s episode is by Katie Cobbs*

On Episode 65 we kick off our series “Our Gifts, His Glory” with a conversation with Margaret Gibson. Margaret works in non profit development and is passionate about the topic of generosity. We thought this was the perfect way to kick off this series as we discuss what it looks like to give generously for the glory of God. Margaret guides us to where we can see generosity in The Bible. Spoiler alert! This is a topic that is woven throughout the entirety of scripture! Ultimately it points us back to how generous God has been to us by providing His grace, a gift we do not deserve. We left this conversation feeling so encouraged and inspired to give generously for the glory of God and pray that you will too. Quotes: “There is such a scarcity mentality. We think that there’s not enough. That is a fundamental issue about the character of God for us. It’s us not believing that God is not big enough, or good enough, or loves us enough to do good things for us or to provide for us in the way that He promises He will.” -Margaret Gibson “Our generosity comes out of an overflow of what God does for us.” -Erin Kellogg “The best way to get good at giving is to give.” -Margaret Gibson Resources: The Prodigal God by Tim Keller https://www.amazon.com/God-Money-Discovered-Business-Paperback/dp/1628624736 Gospel Patrons by John Rinehart The Giver and the Gift by David Weekley and Peter Greer The Spirituality of Fundraising by Henri Nouwen When Helping Hurts by Stever Corbett and Brian Fikkert The World is not ours to Save by Tyler Wigg-Stevenson Generous Giving The Gospel Coalition Desiring God National Christian Foundation Advent Conspiracy *The beautiful music heard on today’s episode is by Katie Cobbs*

We’re back!!!!! We had a wonderful summer break, but we are so glad to be back with all of our wonderful listeners. You don’t want to miss this episode because Erin has a HUGE announcement that we know you’re going to be excited about! Katie Cobbs joins us as we discuss some summer highlights, our biggest takeaway from the She Speaks conference, and give a little intro into our upcoming series, “Our Gifts, His Glory.” Our hope and prayer each week is that the Adorned Podcast would encourage and inspire you to pursue a deeper understanding of who God is through His Word. Quotes: “Generosity is such a beautiful reflection of God’s generosity to us.” “A calling requires a caller. You are not called to something or somewhere, but to someone.” -Lisa Allen “Our gifts have been given to us to bring God glory.” *The beautiful music heard on today’s episode is by Katie Cobbs*

Welcome to the second episode of the Living a Dream: A Transformational Journey podcast. My name is Jo Calk. I am a Life Awareness Coach and Reiki Master. My Ultimate Goal is the global enlightenment and peace of our Earth, our physical reality, through the awakening, awareness, and actions of all its people to our roles in transforming our beliefs toward the Earth’s physical healing. I am not alone in having this Goal of “Peace on Earth” and cooperation, caring, and sharing by all people. However, my approach is a bit different: I am enlightening the Earth from within. Tonight’s topic is “Our Self, Our Gifts.” I will discuss our “self” and suggest how we can change our self-fulfilling prophecies from unwanted outcomes to outcomes that we like, enjoy, and appreciate. We are also going to be introduced to the gifts we all received at birth, the source of our happiness and joy, and a visualization to give love to our Inner Child. More details are found on my website: https://jo-calk.com/something-new-is-coming/.

"Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you," Keeanu Reeves. I am the only one who is me, there will never be another like me, I am unique and important, even when no one else has realized it. How do we release comparisons and enjoy who we are and we can find the gifts we have that are uniquely ours.

It’s no secret that we love a good series; this week brings Part 1 of How to Access Your Gifts, Talents, and Magic. This topic was Nick’s idea as he’s a big fan of magic and creating space for us to explore the gifts that we all possess. Part 1 focuses on our ability to identify our gifts. There are many of us who are on the journey of exploration yet we don’t know what it is that we’re looking for or how to go about the process of identifying our gifts. If you don’t know what you’re looking for or how to look for it, it’s almost impossible to develop it. Circling back to that magic that Nick loves so much, our superpowers can’t be honed until their discovered. Tune in for a few tips and tricks how to, both, identify the gifts, talents, and magic that lies within us and advice how to bring them to the surface - creating space for us to live a fully self-expressed and authentic life. Hosts: Nick and Kisma Resources: Send us an email if you’re interested:   3:01 Our Gifts, Talents and Magic “In a very real way, in our world - our gifts and our talents, our magic are things that make us so incredibly unique and so valuable in the world” - NICK 7:05 Childlike Magic “I remember doing little, magical things when I was a child. Whether it was through a thought process or play or whatever. Then, at some point, an adult would be like ‘don’t do that or we don’t talk to make believe playmates or don’t wave your hands like what’ - where somebody makes it wrong in us. Then, as we’re growing into teens and adults, we just start to think or behave according to what other people have told us or put on us. That’s anti-magic, that’s anti gifts.” - KISMA   18:05 Creativity, Magic, Gifts, and Skills “The creative, and the magic, and the gifts and the skills - when we can identify 1 or 2 everyone, it actually does create the white space, even though we might be in color. There is space that’s being created in our mind, in our souls, in our presence so that whatever we do on either side of it is more dynamic.” - KISMA   21:45 Geek Out “The things that you geek out on, somewhere in there is your magic. The things that you do really uniquely just geek out on them more and more and it’ll bring more into your life. What it does is, this is what I’ve seen anyway, is it just opens up space for so much more to come through.” - NICK

How are the gifts and the fruit of the Spirit different and how are they the same? What different roles do they play in the life of the believer?

Click the above link for The Starving Artist Syndrome podcast to learn how to override the starving artist syndrome with my guest Jessica Serran. We'll go through tapping sessions to help you clear emotional blocks around the vow of being invisible and honoring owning your gifts and allowing them to be seen and appreciated by your audience in the world. It is your beliefs about your worthiness, your abilities and the messages that your family and society have projected onto you that keep you in the "Starving Artist/Creative Syndrome." It has nothing to do with money or having to suffer or sacrifice yourself. ~ Marilyn O'Malley This week Millennials & Money Cafe call was about Overcoming the Starving Artist/Creative Syndrome and Owning the Value of Our Gifts. While preparing for this call with my guest, artist, guide, and Psycho-Cartographer, Jessica Serran we discovered that there was so much more to this topic than we ever could cover in one call.  So we crammed as much information and solutions as we could in this teleseminar training. This is an emotional topic that we have bought into as the truth and Jessica and I help you see how your beliefs are keeping you broke, stuck and challenged as a creative. The value you give your creativity and talent is connected to how deserving and worthy you feel to receive the rewards it offers you through the exchange of appreciation, pleasure, and payment for services. If you don't feel "good enough" or "worthy of receiving" you will give away your product or services for free or for very little. You are a starving artist/creative/entrepreneur in the eyes of society if you are an "unconventual creative." This is such old thinking! If this were true we wouldn't have Apple computers/watches/phones, FB, Oprah, or successful independent filmmakers, musicians, authors, painters, sculptures all over the world today. But this belief and mindset are running like a quiet virus and I want to STOP IT.  What does fitting in get us? NOTHING - BORING!  If you are an artist/creative who believes you have to sacrifice your material well-being or rebel against your family in order to focus on and achieve success, wake up and smell the bull-crap. This outdated, yet still current psyche is a long time ago group consciousness gone romanticized. NOTICE WHAT YOU BELIEVING THAT IS NOT TRUE ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST, A CREATIVE, AN INNOVATOR! THERE ARE MANY WEALTHY UNCONVENTIONAL CREATIVES AND ARTISTS. (Rembrandt, Charles Dickens, Andy Warhol, Steve Jobs, The Beatles, Deepak Chopra, Oprah...) THEY BECAME SUCCESSFUL AND WEALTHY BY NOT DRINKING IN THE NEGATIVE COLLECTIVE  COOL-AID THAT WOULD LIMIT THEIR ABILITY TO BE CREATIVE. THEY UNDERSTOOD THEY WERE UNIQUE AND HAD VALUE TO OFFER WHETHER SOMEONE AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT. THEY VALUED THEMSELVES AND HONORED THEIR GIFTS AND PASSIONS! Your passion is your pleasure! It is your calling to live your pleasure! No one is like you! No one else can know what that means for you and you can't know that for another. You're here in this world at this time, with your skills, talents, and gifts for a reason, be proud and productive. This starving artist syndrome is not only in fine art but runs through any creative individual; authors, musicians, inventors, innovators, entrepreneurs, visionaries, designers, filmmakers... I'd love to hear if this was helpful or your thought or comments. Would you like more on this subject?
