Let's unravel the mysterious tapestry of divine appointments, delving into the captivating saga of Joseph to unveil the profound meaning of purpose.

Merry Christmas, friends! In this episode, we conclude our four part Advent series on the book The Reed of God by Caryll Houselander. Today, we focus on part four and discuss the sections on Our Lady Seeking, Our Seeking, The Way, and The Assumption. We reflect on the beautiful reality that when Mary looks at us, she sees her Son and how we are also called to not only become aware of Christ's presence within ourselves but also to seek His presence within those around us. In order to do this, we need to first prepare our hearts to fully accept Christ and we chat about the different ways we can become more receptive to His love. Thank you for journeying with us this Advent season. We look forward to seeing you on January 15th for the start of Season 14!   Heather's One Thing - The moment when no one else is awake and getting to sit with a cup of coffee and enjoy the Christmas tree lights Heather's Other One Thing - The movie The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse (watch the trailer here) Heather's Other Other One Thing - The Rescue Project especially Fr. John Ricardo's videos on the Kerygma Sister Miriam's One Thing - Nourishing White Bean and Lemon Soup Michelle's One Thing - Charlie Brown Christmas Special   Announcement: We are excited to announce that Season 14 will begin January 15th!   Journal Questions: How can I bring light into the darkness this Christmas season? How can I make a gift of myself this Christmas season? What painful memories or grief has surfaced for me this Christmas and Advent season? Where is God in those memories and grief? What is the most unsuspecting place where Christ wants to reveal Himself to me?   Discussion Questions: How were you present to the present moment this Advent? How were you not present to the present moment this Advent? In what ways are you tempted to block the Holy Spirit throughout the Advent and Christmas seasons? How has our Blessed Mother encountered you throughout this book study? What is the Holy Spirit prompting you to do this season to more freely receive the Holy Spirit?   Quote to Ponder: “It was another Advent, a withdrawing and folding upon the Life within her life; but a withdrawing that did not separate her from other people but only brought her closer to them; for she had found her Christ in them all.” (Houselander, Caryll. The Reed of God, page 66) Scripture for Lectio:  "I will arise now and go about the city through the streets and squares. I will seek the one I love. So I sought him but did not find him."  (Song of Songs 3:2)   Sponsor - Walking with Purpose:   Do you want to help your daughter discover her true identity?   Do you long to see her avoid the pitfalls of toxic relationships?   Are you ready to guide her toward her God-given calling?   There is nothing fiercer than a mother's love for her children. Many of us feel that influences around our kids are eroding the foundation we've worked so hard to build. It's time to reclaim our motherly influence, because no one loves or knows our girls like we do.  Sisters of Strength is a life-changing and vitalizing weekend for mothers and their high school/college-aged daughters from Walking with Purpose. Featuring a lineup of powerful speakers—including our own Heather Khym!—we will delve into the topics of identity, friendship, and purpose, equipping our daughters to answer life's biggest questions with God's wisdom and perspective.  Join us for Sisters of Strength April 5-7 in Leesburg, VA. You'll laugh, you'll connect, and you'll both return home spiritually stronger and refreshed.

What am I doing?! – Purpose   “Why am I here”   Purpose   Do you feel like you are living in the purpose God designed you to live in?   1.     You're blatantly living in sin   “don't let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to god, for your were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of god.” Romans 6:12-13 NLT   2.     You lack joy and excitement   3.     You don't feel much fulfillment in life   4.     You feel stuck 5.     You have no direction   A life of purpose brings focus   “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10 NIV   We will find our purpose less in what we do and more in what we are willing to surrender Surrender leads to obedience and obedience fuels our purpose   “Its in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for…part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone.” Ephesians 1:11 MSG   “Your will be done” Matthew 6:10   Who we are doesn't flow from what we do…what we do flows from who we are   “Jacob loved Joseph more than any of his other children because joseph had been born to him in his old age. So one day Jacob had a special gift made for Joseph – a beautiful robe.” Genesis 37:3 NLT   “When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.” Genesis 37:4 NIV   “…listen to this dream, he said, “we were out in the field, tying up bundles of grain. Suddenly my bundle stood up, and your bundles all gathered around and bowed low before mine!” His brothers responded, “So you think you will be our king, do you? Do you actually think you will reign over us?” and they hated him all the more because of his dreams and the way he talked about them.” Genesis 37:6-8 NLT   “The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master. Potiphar noticed this and realized that the Lord was with Joseph, giving him success in everything he did. This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned.” Genesis 39:2-4 NLT   “…now Joseph was well-built and handsome…” Genesis 39:6 NIV   “Come and sleep with me,” she demanded.” Genesis 39:7   “Look, he told her, “my master trusts me with everything in his entire household. No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.” Genesis 39:8-9 NLT   “she grabbed him by his cloak demanding, “come on sleep with me!” joseph tore himself away, but he left his cloak in her hand as he ran from the house. When she saw that she was holding his cloak and he had fled, she called out to her servants. Soon all the men came running. “Look!” she said “ my husband has brought this Hebrew slave here to make fools of us! He came into my room to rape me, but I screamed. When he heard me scream, he ran outside and got away, but he left his cloak behind with me.” Genesis 39:12-18 NLT   If you ever feel like “Nothing gold can stay” that's an indicator that you're living in YOUR will not HIS   “but the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden.” Genesis 39:21 NLT   “Before long, the warden put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and over everything that happened in the prison. The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The Lord was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.” Genesis 39:22-23 NLT   God wants to use you in every situation you are in   “I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear about a dream you can interpret it.”     “it is beyond my power to do this,” joseph replied. “but God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.” Genesis 41:15-16 NLT   “Therefore, pharaoh should find an intelligent and wise man and put him in charge of the entire land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh should appoint supervisors over the land and let them collect one fifth of the crops during the seven good years. Have them gather all the food produced in the good years that are just ahead and bring it to Pharaoh's storehouses. Store it away , and guard it so there will be food in the cities. That way there will be enough to eat when the seven years of famine come to the land of Egypt. Otherwise this famine will destroy the land.” Genesis 41:33-36 NLT Our purpose is not found in a thing that we do, but rather in the type of life that we live “He has saved us and called us to a holy life – not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time..” 2 Timothy 1:9 NIV   1.     What will be the most important thing in my life?   Whatever is at the center of your life…is your God   Is Christ TRULY at the center of your life? 2.     What will be the character of my life?   We take who we are into eternity…not what we did   The Fruits of the Spirit -        Love -        Joy -        Peace -        Patience -        Kindness -        Goodness -        Faithfulness -        Gentleness -        Self Control   3.     What will be the contributions of my life?   “…I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit – fruit that will last…” John 15:16 NIV 4.     What will be the communication of my life?

Listen in as Dr. Heather Shea talks about Entelechy Leadership. What is entelechy? Think of it as your energetic DNA, what excites you, drives you, and inspires you. It is what's important to you in your life. Consult any dictionary and it says entelechy is to realize or make actual what was otherwise potential. Entelechy is a vital principle that guides the growth of living systems, which includes people, organizations, and cultures. Why does entelechy matter? It is the full realization of your potential, which means:· manifesting your purpose and your passion· actualizing the landscape of your life· returning to your innate blueprint for perspective and guidance· rediscovering your core callings· activating your true potentiality in your relationships and your life's work· embracing and expressing your creative forceEntelechy is you, energetically, living to your full potential: you are fun, excited, enthusiastic, expanding, adventurous.Entelechy leadership involves co-creating the location, place, or landscape in which you and others thrive. Since entelechy makes you a more interesting, alive person: Other people want to follow you, be around you, work with you, because you activate their potential.Think of the tiny acorn: given the right environment, it instinctively knows how to become a towering oak tree. Not given the right amount of water, nutritious soil, or enough sunlight, it will not grow to its full potential. People are the same.What does it take to be an entelechy leader?Entelechy leaders must have purpose, passion, and potential Purpose: Do who you arePassion: Rise and ThrivePotential: Back to Your FutureDr. Heather Shea is a Leadership Coach for women executives, entrepreneurs, and evolutionary leaders.

Hey monkiis, I was listening to another podcast while walking to work the other day and when the host referred to someone as a 'biohacker' it conjured a really negative reaction from me. It was the first time I had this response to hearing that term and I wanted to explore why. I believe the root cause is that the term 'biohack', 'biohacker', 'biohacking' implies a shortcut to something that would otherwise require hard work. As I have grown older and maybe the slightest bit wiser the more I believe that there are no shortcuts - you just have to do the work. I did some analysis and came up with 5 elements that are a part of proper hard work: Consistency - Do you have the discipline to be consistent? Planning - Hard also needs to be smart. Is your training hard enough and smart enough that you adapt and grow? Purpose - Do you believe yourself? Do your actions have meaning to you specifically? Intention - Are you committed? Are you playing the long game? Evaluation - We need to measure positive progress which can be subjective as well as objective. How do you feel? Are you getting better? Are you in pain? What do you think? If you have questions, please send a note to info@monkii.co or send us a DM to @monkii.co on Instagram we can get more monkii Q&A sessions going. Thanks for tuning in and if you are enjoying the episodes we would be eternally grateful if you could leave a 5-star review. It helps to grow the monkii family and spread the good word of the Wild. Thank you. See you out there and monkii on, -monkii Dan www.monkii.co  

Part of the human experience is judging and feeling judged. When we feel judged, our instinct is usually to either fight back, be defensive, prove our case and justify, OR to turn our back, build a wall, discredit the source, and feel divided. Rather than responding to judgement with "fight" or "flight," today we are discussing other ways to address judgement, so that we can experience our lives more intentionally, more peaceably, more connectedly, and more in line with who we want to be. MIND: Know that your worth is not at stake. Regardless of feedback or judgement we might receive from others (or even from ourselves), the truth is that our value is constant. Even though we might feel terrible or we might think that we have done something wrong and we are deserving of judgement, at the core we are still of worth. Always. If we feel defensive and like we need to build a case for our choices, we are probably feeling fearful or shameful, and looking for validation. If we are already sure of our innate goodness, our well-intendedness, our love, then we don't need to fear or defend or explain, but rather we can sit in peace, knowing the truth of who we are. Don't fight back, don't defend, don't judge back. BODY: Choose what to let in to your space. Visualize a "bubble" of protection and know that the energy of other people's feedback doesn't have to internalize in your space. Give yourself the gift of choosing what to consider and what to let slide away. Be an "energy ninja," capable of staying grounded and at peace no matter what is coming your way, because you can gracefully move and dodge and shift to let foreign energy pass on by. This is also an opportunity to practice feeling amused; being able to "sit back" and be an observer brings some lightness instead of unnecessary gravity to perceived judgement. Amusement helps us to forgive ourselves as well as others. PURPOSE: Do something kind. When we feel judged, kindness is not typically our default. BUT it is a powerful place to direct ourselves, because kindness has a way of shifting our current experience into something that feels nourishing and beautiful. It takes us out of our "lower" brains and into a higher place where we get to experience more of who we really are. The best example we have of someone who dealt with being judged is Jesus Christ; he knew who he was, and therefore wasn’t shaken by other people’s judgements or opinions. Kindness was his default. Judgements didn’t enter and influence his spirit; he had the personal authority to see the truth, and stay in a place of love. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/michelle48/message

How Hindsight Helps with Clarity of Purpose Do you feel disconnected from your life purpose? If so, you probably missed a lot of opportunities in the past. But today is ours to win, rediscover and start again. Let’s do it together. In this week’s episode, Lia Dunlap talks about how hindsight helps with clarity of purpose. Part One of ‘How Hindsight Helps with Clarity of Purpose’ Do you feel like you’re giving your best shot, but not developing and prospering the way you want? If yes, let’s take a moment to pause and reflect. Many people struggle with the idea of committing to their life purpose.  “Purpose isn't about how you will make money, but it doesn't mean that purpose won't bring prosperity.” – Lia Dunlap (09:05-09:14) Purpose isn’t just something that’s necessarily tied to anything that generates revenue for you. It doesn’t mean that purpose won’t bring wealth into your life either. Purpose gives you the strength to do whatever you want without requiring any stamp of approval. It gives you the power to know your worth.  Part Two of ‘How Hindsight Helps with Clarity of Purpose’ All of us had this dream or vision of what we wanted to achieve even when we were still young. Think about the things you love to do more than anything else and revisit your biggest WHY because that’s where your purpose lies. You can always acquire a lot of things, but the question is, will they make you feel fulfilled and happy in the long run? “The moment you took your first breath, you were granted permission to follow your purpose.” – Lia Dunlap (16:07-16:12) What’s that craziest childhood dream that you’ve always wanted to pursue? Quit pushing the wrong message, sharing the wrong ideas, and accepting the wrong opportunities. Your unique life purpose is meant to position you in a place where you’re confident about what you bring to the table.  Next Steps: Download your FREE Purpose and Prosperity Road Map Discover the five essential steps to go from frustrated, annoyed, or not living your purpose to a successful purpose-driven leader. purposeandprosperityroadmap.com

00  I'm talking about  what resilience is how resilience impacts you in leadership and your employees what are my six pillars of resilience Leaders are expected to be able to run and lead in their business and to be able to do it well.  Accenture concluded that  "Resilience may be the new criterion for professional advancement" With business and economic challenge the way a leader handles pressure is likely to have a huge impact on performance and success of an organisation.  So resilience is critical to survive the challenges ahead, during and after lockdown. What is Resilience? When I ask this in my training and workshops, people say Keeping going Staying strong in hard times Mental toughness Resilience is an important personal attribute that can have a wide-ranging influence on your personal wellbeing and your performance at work. It’s more than your bounce-back-ability.   For me, it’s not about how well you keep going, it’s about how well you adapt.  As Charles Darwin said  "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change. “  Good news is that resilience is mouldable.  You can build your resilience, you can re-shape it which means we can all develop resilience.   The Link Between Leadership and Resilience Leadership stress and resilience has been explored extensively.  Stress related illness and personal issues feature highly with leaders and studies show that around two thirds of leaders are affected.  Yet, the other third successfully thrived, despite leadership challenges.  What seemed to set them apart was their adaptability and the skills that combined to enhance a resilient mindset. Leaders can also have a direct impact on the resilience of their workforce and employees too, simply with the way they react and respond to challenge and change. Six Pillars to Resilience 1.   Vision and Purpose Do you have vision and purpose for yourself and your company Giving ourselves meaning and direction is what pushes us forward.  This gives us the reason to get up in a morning.  Research says when you’re engaged and have purpose, life becomes easier, less complicated and less stressful. It might be worth revisiting this. 2.   Awareness Our awareness of ourselves and others around us will affect how we respond and how we view the situations we are challenged with. When we are aware, we know what is a challenge or what is stressful and what is not.  Then we can adapt and decide how we deal with it.  We can incorporate tools that help us to be regulated, calm or positive.  This will all have an impact on our mental health, stress and resilience. Listen in to the podcast for tips around this … Awareness isn’t just about what your find difficult.  Knowing what lift you means you know what you can do quickly and easily to recharge. 3.  Support There are few aspects to the support we have and need Having a network around you What support do you have and what do you need? Not being afraid to ask for help When we have people we can talk to and reach out for support is lessens the load of what we are going through.  Having people to talk to also creates connection and we all need connection and to feel part of something.  It stems from our tribal days. It can also mean we don’t feel so alone.  Many of the leaders I work with do say they feel alone. Loneliness can take a real toll on both our mental and physical health. Having meaningful relationships through a support network of family, friends, colleagues and other social groups helps us feel connected and valued. Who is your support network and what types of support they offer? 4.   Attitude What is your attitude like when presented with problems to solve?  One method to reframe your thinking about successes and failures. When things go wrong, someone with an optimistic or positive attitude will tend to see the problem as a way of learning, or that identifies things that didn’t work.  Attitude is also about looking at what we can control and influence and what we cannot.  Listen to the podcast to find out what I used to say to my managers to help them have a more resilient attitude about change. This way of thinking can be learned and developed, so that it’s much easier for us to reframe, be positive focus on what we can control. 5.   Thinking Styles There are some well known thinking styles that we automatically kick into.  Are you the avoidant ostrich, the one who sees catastrophes or the rational thinker? By identifying and understanding your thinking patterns and this self talk, or ‘limiting beliefs’, you can learn to challenge them and change how you react to challenging situations. Emma explains some ways you can challenge your thinking patterns and beliefs. It's also good to change the idea of making mistakes to being something you can learn from rather than a problem.   This all helps leaders to have a set of skills that support the process of overcoming difficult situations, challenges and set-backs. Coaching can support leaders in this too! 6.   Health Although this is health – I mean both mental and physical health.  Your mental health will improve with your increased awareness and adapting your thinking style as I've already mentioned. With your physical health  - exercise has been correlated with stronger levels of resilience. This is be due to the effects of endorphins and feel good chemicals improving mood. It's not just going to the gym, since they're closed during lockdown anyway.  We have the one hour exercise allowing in the UK.  We need to use it. It can also be having a walk, dancing, an upbeat or calming music playlist It might be something upbeat and with people or something quiet and relaxing or alone. Work out what boosts your energy levels and what drains you.  Find things that you can fit into your life without feeling that you MUST do or that you will beat yourself up about if you don’t achieve it.  We also need to think about diet and nutrition.  It's easy to eat junk, and people are talking about more snacks and more baking.  Balance this with healthy food too. Do you get enough sleep?  If you never give yourself chance to recover from the busyness and challenge of your day, then you’re going to be running on empty. So that's my six pillar of resilience.  But I'd like to add that with all of these be reflective.  Effective learning is when a person progresses through different stages by being reflective. David Kolb's 1984 learning cycle is useful for this.  You can even use this about your day, a week or a specific challenge or situation. Have the experience Review the experience Summarise learnings, what did and did not work. Plan for Improvement next time. The Final Science Bit: The good news is that recent neuroscience studies now know that it’s never too late for our brain to develop or change.  Neuroplasticity means that the brain forms new neurons and connections until we’re 100.  We can even grow new neurons at any age and also prune back old learnings and neural pathways too.  This means we can re-wire our brain and remove things that we are not serving us well. It’s a practice.  It’s called practicing resilience for a reason.  Every day we have the opportunity to continue with our resilience and change the brain’s default way of operating.  It might take effort and focus but it is absolutely is possible to do change the way we think and the way we respond so that we increase our resilience for the long term.   If you would like to tell me one thing that you will do from this episode, email me at emma@emmalangon.com . If you need help personally or for your employees to reduce their stress, increase resilience and wellbeing (even if they're working remotely!)  get in touch.

What does it mean to be CHOSEN?Even though in this world we will have trouble, JESUS has overcome. John 16:33We (Sarah and Hunter) found ourselves living in unnecessary small, everyday struggles because we were not choosing the way God had made for us! (example: dwelling in worry instead of praying, letting the enemy’s lies mold the view of ourselves, etc.) Our daily lives simply were not lining up with God’s promises and direction in His word.Living CHOSEN is a CHOICE! God has given us FREE WILL to choose our lifestyle. Will we live in anxiety rather than worry? Insecurity rather than confidence? Fearful rather than victorious?The journey only BEGINS at Salvation! WOW! Our relationship with God is a DAILY walk. Step by step.GOD CHOOSES YOU! Just think about going purse shopping! (time mark 4:27). You are treasured and loved by HIM!God is NOT afraid of your mess. He wants to make you BRAND NEW!We live out our purpose one day at a time! No stress, no fear, just trust him!God pays SUCH attention to detail! He created you uniquely for a special greater purpose and assignment.There’s no use in worrying about tomorrow! Just take today. Matthew 6:34If life is a painting, everyday is a brushstroke. One stroke at a time! It will all come together in the end.Just remember to DIP!Daily PursuitIdentity in ChristPurpose in HimGod’s promises vs. our strugglesLoneliness: Being alone and being lonely are two completely different things. Loneliness is a feeling: no one sees, cares, or notices. BUT: Christ says we will NEVER be alone! He knows you, created you, and will be with you until the end of time.Fear: 2 Timothy 1:7 We have not been given a spirit of FEAR! God tells us to not fear in His word continuously. God is not afraid of our fear. He has it more than handled.Purpose: Do you ever wonder, “What is my purpose? What is my specialty?” This can get you down! You have to hand this over to God. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. He has a purpose especially for YOU! When you are living in God’s will, you will be PEACE FILLED! God cannot bless anything that is not His, Are you living out YOUR purpose, or HIS purpose for you?Anxiety/Worry: We are given such straight forward instruction: instead of worrying, PRAY! It seems so simple but so many times I am not proactive in praying and remain in worry. Then Philipians goes on to say (chapter 6 verse 7) that God’s peace will guard your heart when you pray! WOW! Its an intentional decision to pray and dwell on the GOOD.Insecurity/Comparison: Ephesians 2 says we are Christ’s workmanship! There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ, so that means any condemnation is from ourselves, our world, or the enemy!Approval: Who is your priority to please? God or man? Don't spread yourself so thin trying to please others that you don't please God! We are here for GOD, not ourselves. Test yourselves on your actions: are your actions self-serving or GOD-serving?Guess what?!? All of these struggles listed, God provided a solution for in His word! He bought the solutions with the price of the cross! TAKE HEART!Find more free resources at thechosengirl.com

Why is saying “no” so hard? Some of us are people-pleasers, so we like saying “yes” to people. It makes us feel better when we help others (dopamine). We feel like we need a “small distraction.” We want to have some fun in our lives. Saying “yes” When you say “yes” to something, you are automatically saying “no” to something else. Conversely, when you say “no” to something, it allows you to say “yes” to something else – hopefully to the right thing. Saying “no” takes discipline – as we already talked about, it’s not easy.

Finding Your Purpose and Living on Purpose Do you have a clear vision of what you should be doing with your life?  Are you taking the necessary risks to live according to your purpose, or playing it safe?  Are you clear on what you need to be doing, but putting it off until some point in the future, like retirement or when the kids go to college?  If you’re not sure what you true purpose is, how do you discover it?  These are the kinds of questions we will explore with author Gregg Krech, a leading authority on Japanese Psychology whose work is centered on self-reflection and purposeful living. Walker Percy said "The search is what anyone would undertake if he were not sunk in the everydayness of his own life . . . To become aware of the possibility of the search is to be onto something.  Not to be onto something is to be in despair." Take a few minutes to step back from the everydayness of your life to consider your own personal search, your calling, and how you can create a life of living on purpose.

Purpose? Do we have a purpose? Why does it seem so hard to find? Join Pastor Derwin this weekend as he explains how Jesus gives us a new label and teaches us what our purpose is for our lives.
