Wisdom, folly, light and dark. There are some big themes in this next chunk of the letter, as we continue to apply all that we've been taught so far in Ephesians.

Don't miss out on fulfilling the plan and the purpose God has for you. Don't miss your calling. Richard Blackaby said, "Some people never experience the mighty work God intended to do in and through their life because they don't have the patience to allow God to bring His work to maturity." That quote is what has led us to this episode. There are 5 Non-negotiables if we want to experience God's divine direction and intervention in our life so that we can become who He is calling us to become and do what He created us to do. I can't wait to share them with you. As a Believer, you are called to lead. There are people in your sphere of influence who need your guidance, your leadership, and your encouragement in order for them to find their way to Jesus. You have seeds to plant. You are called to make a difference. If you want to say yes - you need to know these 5 essentials.  1. You must do it God's way. 2. You must know what the Bible says. 3. You must be in continual fellowship with the Holy Spirit. 4. You must ask for Divine Guidance 5. You must be willing to to obey it when you receive it.   Invitation:  If you are a Christian woman who wants to lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical alignment, I invite you to check out the Called to Lead framework.

When you open your Bible, do you actually know what to do next, or are you just flipping to a random page and hoping it clicks? Most people want to study the Word, but they've never been given a clear, repeatable system to understand what the text is actually saying. In this premiere episode, I'm breaking down a straightforward 5-step Bible study method designed to take away the confusion and help you see the truth for yourself.

Simple daily practices that changed my life and helped me grow in faith, confidence, and influence.  We all have habits that deplete us and rob us of becoming the best leader we can be and from living our best life. Some of our exhaustion, overwhelm, and fatigue is greatly impacted by our the poor habits and ruts we fall into. When we are intentional to establish habits that replenish us - it changes everything. I cannot wait to share these habits with you and encourage you - well, even challenge you - to do them for the rest of the year. I believe they will be life changing and life giving for you. 1. Start your Reading your Bible and in Prayer. Use a Study Bible with commentary that helps you gain understanding. Here is a link to the Bible I use - Shop Here Want to use My Daily Journal Method I mentioned? Learn more here. 2. Be a Continual Learner. Check my Social Media Accounts for a list of the books that have changed my life. 3. Use a Truth Journal. You can purchase one Here. 4. Open your hands when you pray, praise, and worship.   Being intentional about your habits is vital. They will help you with your personal growth, fulfill your potential, and become the leader God is calling you to become.  If you are a Christian woman who wants to lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical alignment, I invite you to check out the Called to Lead framework.

Mama, there is no greater leadership position you hold than being a mom. You owe it to your children to learn to lead as well as you possibly can. There are some core principles for us as Christian moms that we should be intentional to follow.

Nurture the Spiritual Growth of your Children 2. Model Christian Character to your Children 3. Make sure Your Home is a Place where Faith Grows   Key Scripture References... Proverbs 31:10-31; Ephesians 6:1-4; Titus 2:4-5; Psalm 127:3-5   Leadership is always challenging, but especially when leading the ones we treasure. Decide today that you will stop going through the motions and start being intentional about leading in a way that points your children to Jesus. Apply these Biblical principals for the Christian mom - model your faith, teach Scripture, pray fervently, love affectionately, and nurture a Christ-centered, safe home environment.  Invitation:  If you are a Christian woman who wants to lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical alignment, I invite you to check out the Called to Lead framework.

If you've ever felt busy but not fulfilled… this episode is for you. So many women are trying to manage their time better—but still feel scattered, overwhelmed, and pulled in too many directions. In this episode, we're shifting the conversation. Because time management isn't just about getting more done… it's about leading your life with intention and asking "Master, what matters?" Because what matters to Him should matter to us. I'm sharing a simple framework you can come back to again and again: Your Calling. Your Community. Your Cause. When you align your life around these three areas, you gain clarity, build confidence, and begin to create real, Christ-centered influence in the lives of others. This is how you stop reacting… and start leading. In this episode, you'll learn: Why traditional time management isn't working for you The difference between being busy and being aligned How to identify what actually matters in your life and leadership A simple filter to help you make better decisions with your time How to lead with clarity, confidence, and intentional impact Questions to reflect on: What is God doing in me right now? (calling) Who has He placed in my life to influence? (community) What is He asking me to focus on in this season? (cause) Ready to go deeper? If you're ready to step into your calling and become a more intentional, confident leader… The Called to Lead Framework will help you grow in clarity, strengthen your leadership, and learn how to influence others with purpose—at work, in your community, and at home.

Learning to Connect: The Key to Fulfilling God's Plan and Leading Well If you've ever felt like you're trying to lead… but something is missing—this episode is for you. In my last episode, we talked about the five areas of support every leader needs. But today, we're going deeper—because support doesn't just happen. It's built through connection. And the truth is… If we don't learn how to connect well, we will struggle to lead well. God never designed you to do this alone. His plan for your life will always involve people. The question is—are you building the kind of connections that allow you to walk it out? In this episode, I'm breaking down what it really looks like to learn to connect in a way that strengthens your leadership and supports the calling on your life. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why connection is essential to fulfilling God's plan How to become someone others want to connect with The importance of finding the right kind of community What it looks like to be a support—not just seek support How connection directly impacts your confidence and influence as a leader 3 Key Takeaways: 1. Become someone others want to connect with Connection starts with you. The way you show up, the way you listen, the way you care—it matters. Strong leaders don't wait for connection… they create it. 2. Find community You were never meant to lead alone. The right community will challenge you, encourage you, and strengthen you. If you don't have it yet—this is your invitation to be intentional about finding it. 3. Be a support to others Leadership isn't just about what you receive—it's about what you give. When you become a source of encouragement, strength, and truth for others, you build meaningful, lasting connection. A Simple Question to Reflect On: Where do I need to grow in connection right now? Is it in how I show up… where I'm investing… or how I'm supporting others? Next Steps: If this episode spoke to you, don't just listen—take action. Start one conversation. Reach out to one person. Lean into one opportunity to connect. Small steps lead to meaningful relationships—and those relationships will support you as you step into everything God has called you to do. Work With Me: If you're ready to grow in your leadership, build confidence, and become intentional about your influence, I'd love to walk with you. The Called to Lead Framework is designed to help you do exactly that—so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and Christ-centered influence in every area of your life.

Do you have a strong support system? Have you forgotten any areas where you need support?  Do you know it's a part of God's Plan for you to have a good support system in place in order to lead well. In this episode, Pam Pegram is sharing 5 areas of support every strong leader needs. Without these 5 - we will not lead at our highest level.  Leadership is challenging. You are not meant to go it alone. You need support, encouragement, and even accountability in order to honor God in the way you lead.  There will be hard decisions to make, hard conversations to have, and situations you aren't sure how to handle. Be sure you have the systems in place you need. Here they are... 1. Build on a firm foundation of support - God's word, your relationship with Jesus, and the promptings of the Holy Spirit guiding you. 2. Community - a church family, Bible study group, Christian women in business group, and/or accountability group. 3. Inner Circle - 3 like-minded friends who can speak truth into your life. The best way to find one is to be one.  4. Faith based Coach and Mentor - helping you recognize blind spots, stop bad habits, build on truth, hold you accountable, and lead you forward. 5. A Christian therapist. We all have seasons where we need some help processing what we are walking through.    I would love to support you.  If you are a Christian woman who wants to lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical alignment, I invite you to check out the Called to Lead framework.

Today we're sitting down with Bible teacher Lisa Whittle to talk about what Scripture really says about our bodies. In a culture obsessed with body image, health trends, and comparison, Lisa shares the concept of “whole body theology." Through honest stories about food, shame, comparison, and healing, the conversation explores how many women have lived disconnected from a biblical understanding of their bodies—and how grounding our view of the body in Scripture can lead to freedom from consuming body thoughts and a new way of living that honors Christ.PLUS, we're so excited to announce that Body & Soul is our spring Bible study on the Marked Podcast!

Courage is one of the most essential qualities of biblical leadership, yet it is one of the most difficult for leaders to consistently choose. The Bible does not define courage as the absence of fear. Instead, Christian courage is confidence in God's presence, God's promises, and God's strength. Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly tells His people to “be strong and courageous” because He is with them wherever they go. In this episode, we explore why courageous leadership is necessary for Christian leaders who want to live with intentional influence and lead like Jesus. If you want to grow as a faith-based leader, overcome the fear of man, and lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical conviction, this conversation will encourage and challenge you. You will also hear why many leaders grow faster when they allow someone to walk beside them in their leadership journey. The Bible reminds us that iron sharpens iron, and leadership coaching can help you process decisions, strengthen your faith, and choose courage when leadership feels difficult. If you desire to lead with Christ-centered influence at work, in your community, and at home, this episode will help you understand why courage is the testing point of every virtue in Christian leadership. In This Episode • Why biblical courage is rooted in confidence in God's presence • How Christian leaders overcome the fear of man and lead with truth • Why courage is essential when making difficult leadership decisions • How courageous leadership inspires others to live by faith instead of fear • Why leadership coaching and accountability help leaders grow in courage Key Bible Verses on Courage Joshua 1:9 — “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Psalm 27:1 — “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” 1 Corinthians 16:13 — “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” 2 Corinthians 4:8 — “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed.” 1 John 4:18 — “Perfect love drives out fear.” Psalm 31:24 — “Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the Lord.” Biblical Examples of Courageous Leadership • Joshua – trusted God and courageously led Israel into the Promised Land • David – defeated giants and enemies by trusting God's protection • Jesus – modeled perfect courage and obedience even in the face of the cross Leadership Reflection Where is God asking you to choose courage in your leadership? Is it a conversation you need to have? A decision you need to make? A biblical conviction you need to stand on? Courageous leaders don't eliminate fear — they choose faith and obedience despite it.   If you are a Christian woman who wants to lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical alignment, I invite you to sign up for the Lead like Jesus Workshop, a 3 session experience designed to help women lead intentionally and stay rooted in God's plan.

What does it truly mean to lead like Jesus? In a culture that celebrates power, position, and personal success, the Bible teaches something radically different. According to Scripture, true leadership begins with serving. Jesus Himself modeled this when He said in Mark 10:45, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” The greatest leader who ever lived chose the posture of a servant — and He calls His followers to do the same. In this episode of Confident Christian Influence, we explore the biblical principle of serving and why servant leadership is essential for Christian leaders who want to make an eternal impact. If you feel called to lead — whether in your workplace, business, ministry, community, or home — this conversation will challenge you to rethink how leadership works in God's Kingdom. You'll discover how serving others is not weakness but one of the most powerful ways to influence people and reflect the heart of Christ. In This Episode You'll Learn • Why servant leadership is the foundation of biblical leadership • How Jesus redefined greatness in God's Kingdom • Why humility is essential for Christian leaders • How your leadership role is actually a form of ministry and stewardship • Practical ways to serve others and create lasting Kingdom impact 5 Biblical Principles of Servant Leadership 1. Serving flows from the Lordship of Christ When Jesus is truly Lord of our lives, our leadership becomes about serving others rather than promoting ourselves. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:5 2. Jesus redefined greatness The world measures greatness by power, but Jesus taught that the greatest leaders are those who serve. Scripture: Matthew 20:26 3. Servant leadership requires humility Christian leaders are called to put aside selfish ambition and value others above themselves. Scripture: Philippians 2:3–7 4.

Tara Dew is with us this week to discuss what the Bible says about contentment and why it's often so difficult to experience. Looking at passages like Philippians 4:11–13, we explore how comparison, cultural expectations, and misunderstanding what it means to be “blessed” can fuel discontentment. Looking to the true source of peace—Christ—we remember we already have everything we truly need.LINKSOverflowing Joy Overflowing Peace New Orleans Baptist Theological SeminaryThrive MinistryOne Thousand Gifts by Ann VoskampRECOMMENDED: In case you missed it, listen to Nicole Zasowski's episode on what the Bible says about cynicism!Hosted by Angie Elkins and Andrea Lennon with guest Tara Dew.CONNECT WITH US!Marked is a podcast from Lifeway Women.  Learn more about the CSB Women's Study Bible.

What makes people trust a leader? Talent helps. Experience helps. But the leadership quality that ultimately determines your influence is integrity. In this episode of Confident Christian Influence, leadership coach and speaker Pam Pegram shares why integrity is the foundation of trustworthy leadership and how it shapes your ability to intentionally influence the people around you. Whether you lead at work, in ministry, in your community, or in your home, your character speaks louder than your title. When leaders walk in integrity, they build trust, strengthen their credibility, and create lasting impact. But when integrity is compromised, influence quickly begins to erode. Pam also explores the role of accountability in leadership, why wise leaders invite it, and how it protects both your character and your calling. If you want to lead with clarity and confidence, build trust with those you lead, and make a meaningful impact for the Kingdom, this episode will encourage and challenge you to lead with integrity. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What integrity in leadership really means Why trust is the foundation of influence The results of leading with integrity in business, ministry, and life The hidden dangers when leaders compromise their character How accountability protects integrity and strengthens leadership Practical encouragement for leaders who want to influence others for Christ Key Scriptures Proverbs 11:3 – “The integrity of the upright guides them.” Psalm 25:21 – “May integrity and uprightness protect me.” Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Key Leadership Takeaways Integrity means your values, words, and actions align. Leaders with integrity: Build trust with those they lead Strengthen their influence and credibility Lead with confidence and peace Create lasting impact in the lives of others When integrity is absent: Trust is broken Influence weakens Teams suffer Leadership credibility is damaged That's why accountability is essential for healthy leadership. Wise leaders invite trusted people into their lives who can speak truth, challenge them, and help them stay aligned with their values and faith. Reflection Question Ask yourself: If someone watched my leadership for a week, what would they learn about integrity? Integrity is not about perfection. It's about alignment between your faith, your character, and your leadership.

One of the Biblical principles that we need if we are to lead like Jesus is humility. It is a part of God's plan for our life. Humility dictates what we say and do and will  turn us into a leader that other want to follow.  In order to be a strong leader, we must have humility. Interesting, huh? You probably don't list that as one of the elements of strong leadership – but without humility – you will not lead with lasting impact.   John Maxwell defines humility this way... HUMILITY - "not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less".   It's time to do a little introspection and take the steps necessary to have the humility required to lead like Jesus. It will take intention and practice in order to exalt Jesus and submit to become a leader who leads like Him.   Invitation:  If you are a Christian woman who wants to lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical alignment, I invite you to sign up for the Confident Leader Workshop, a 3 session experience designed to help women lead intentionally and stay rooted in God's plan.

What happens when we stop treating the Bible as a sacred object and start paying attention to how we actually use it? In this conversation, theologian David Dault reflects on interpretation, responsibility, and the ethics of reading scripture in a fractured world. In this episode with Evan Rosa, Dault reflects on interpretation, responsibility, and how readers shape the meaning and moral impact of the Bible. Together they discuss the materiality of scripture, translation and betrayal, moral seriousness, scriptural reasoning across traditions, catastrophic love, and the ethical responsibility readers bear for how sacred texts are used. Episode Highlights “To assume that we know what a text is telling us is a matter of hubris.” “The Bible doesn't tell you to do anything. You as a reader decide what to do.” “Violence is always an act of interpretation.” “We never get to a place where everything is clean and everyone benefits.” “We have to take responsibility for the violence we involve ourselves in.” About David Dault David Dault is a theologian, journalist, and media producer whose work explores religion, culture, ethics, and interpretation.
