Embracing Success Beyond Social Media: A Faith-Focused Journey to Becoming a Published Author With so much focus on social media, it can be hard for anyone striving to become a published author not to feel the pressure to build a massive following. One might think it's necessary to be seen as successful. However, true success comes from following God's plan and staying rooted in your values. Becoming a published author doesn't have to revolve around likes, followers, or algorithms. Redefining Success to Become a Published Author It's easy to look at people who have achieved literary success and focus on where they are now—published, celebrated, and recognized. But what you don't often see is the long, unseen journey it took for them to become a published author. That journey looks different for everyone, beginning with defining success on your terms - not the world's terms. You can view success through three lenses: ours, God's, and the world's. Are you writing simply for personal ambition? Are you chasing worldly approval—fame, money, social media validation? Or are you seeking to become a published author in alignment with God's unique plan for your life? The world often tells us success means going viral, having a curated life online, or selling millions of copies. But God's definition of success is grounded in faithfulness, obedience, and impact—sometimes unseen but always meaningful. About Allie Marie Allie Marie's passion is helping people, especially girls and women, live flourishing lives, know their God-given worth, identity, and purpose, and experience vibrant wellness in body, mind, and spirit.  As a teen girl and young woman, Allie battled severe depression and even tried to end her life. But by God's grace, grit, and a commitment to live a healthy lifestyle, she is thriving and has a life more beautiful than she ever could have imagined.  Allie is an award-winning author, podcast host, life coach, and speaker. She is also the Founder and CEO of Wonderfully Made®, an organization and ministry she started when she was twenty. Their mission is to help girls and women know God and their values and thrive. We are on a rescue mission to save girls' lives from suicide.  Allie lives in Santa Barbara County with her husband, Paul, and Golden Retriever Gidget, where she loves being unplugged, writing, playing with horses, surfing, and adventuring up and down the California coast.  Website for Allie Marie Smith Additional Resources Pre-Order Allie Marie Smith's Book: Social Media Reset: A 30-Day Guided Journey to Unplug, Reconnect with God, and Reclaim Your Joy Get Robyn's Book: You, Me, and Anxiety: Take Action Over Anxiety to Enjoy Being You.

Today we are once again celebrating the sacrament of baptism. We will be reflecting on Psalm 139:13-14, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. Psalm 139 reminds us of how precious each one of us is, and how God actively shapes and forms each one of us in the womb. The Psalmist confesses that all God's works are wonderful, God is the original creator who has created us in his own image! In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul picks up on this theme, when he writes that we are masterpieces of God. Next Sunday we will be blessed to place God's sign and seal on another child of God, a masterpiece of God!

What is the first question someone asks you after an introduction? I'd be willing to bet that 9 times out of 10 its “So… What do you do for work?” That question may feel fine and dandy when you are in a high-powered position or working your dream job – but for most people it's uncomfortable to be instantly framed by their employment OR lack of employment. We live in a society that equates our value with our job title. But the TRUTH is that your identity is NEVER going to be found in the things you do or how impressive your resume is. Psalm 139: 14 says, “I give thanks to you God because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; wonderful are your works.” So remember, your value and identity are based on the fact that God designed, made, and loves you… just as you are! 

In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I reconnect with Jerrell Gibbs, a renowned painter whose work explores the complexities of life through deeply personal and universal experiences. Jerrell shares insights into his evolving artistic practice, reflecting on how his perspective has shifted since our last conversation. We delve into his creative process, exploring how he draws inspiration from family photographs and personal memories to create poignant and evocative paintings. Jerrell also discusses the importance of community and the role of artistic collaboration in navigating the contemporary art world. We conclude by discussing his upcoming exhibitions, including "Fearfully and Wonderfully Made" at Galerie Myrtis, and his ongoing exploration of themes related to family, memory, and the human experience.Be sure to listen to Jerrell Gibbs' previous episode here.

Embrace your uniqueness. Whether it's in your style, values, or choices, own who God created you to be. You were designed for more than just keeping up with the trends.Because at the end of the day, true style isn't found in what's trending—it's found in the authenticity of who you are in Christ.So go ahead, dare to be different.  Walk like you know trendy ain't timeless. Rock your God-given uniqueness—whatever that may look like.Closing Song : Fearfully & Wonderfully Made by Kimberly Chanté www.BibleDeliverance.org

Where do you go from here? We have a perfect guide in Jesus. While navigating an ever-changing world, we have someone who will never leave or forsake us in the process.

I Am Fearfully & Wonderfully Made (Identity Series)Psalm 139:14 “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”The I praise you part first stood out to me in this verse.  Praise is one of my favorite things to talk about.  I love praising the Lord.  Also, I have read a lot of books, and so many of them point out that praising the Lord is a great way to increase your faith, get more answers to your prayers, have more strength when in a difficult situation, and have more joy in your life. I was all set to begin with talking about praise when something, I think the Holy Spirit, told me to pause and read the whole sentence.  So I did.  “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”  I did not see anything jump out at me.  So, I decided to see what exactly that means.I was thinking maybe I wasn't being moved by the sentence because I didn't understand what was being said.  I was right!  That is a very powerful statement if you know what those two words mean.  Let's take the first word, fearfully, first.  Fearfully, when translated from Hebrew, means with great reverence, heart-felt interest, and respect.  I understand why we would have great reverence for God.  He is our Father, and He created us.  It makes total sense that we would have great reverence for Him.  However, this is talking about us.  This sentence is praising God for making us with great reverence, heart-felt interest, and respect.  Did you know that's how you were made?  Did you know God put all those things into making you?  Do you feel a little bit better about yourself now?Let's take the next word wonderfully.  I bet we all think that we know what that word means.  We may also be thinking that although it is a pretty word, it is used so often that when we hear it, we don't necessarily feel wonderful.  The word wonderful, when translated from Hebrew, means unique and set apart.  I am sure that it has occurred to everyone before that we are all different from each other.  But I wonder if it occurred to you that that means you are unique?  You are one of a kind.  So, the next time you are trying to judge or compare yourself to someone else, remember that you are unique. There is no one like you on this entire earth.  There are people who are going through the same things as you, and there are people who have similar struggles as you, but there is no one exactly like you.  You are not alone in your struggle, but you are one of a kind in how you were made.  You are also set apart.  I like the sound of that.  Instead of being lumped in with everyone else, we are set apart.  God set us apart from others.  Does knowing this change the way you think about yourself?  Does it help you fight off that voice inside of you that tells you that you are not enough or that you are not loved?  Think about how amazing God must think you are to have made you with great reverence, heart-felt interest, and respect.  Did you know that God had reverence for you?  Did you know that He respected you?  Maybe this is not news to you; maybe you knew this all along.  This is the first time that I slowed down long enough with this passage to ask myself what that even means.  This is one of the things that I love about doing this podcast.  I am not reading whole chunks of the Bible at a time.  I am reading a verse or two.    When you break it down into bite-size pieces like this, you get to examine those pieces more carefully.  I have also discovered that I am not the only person who does not know what those two words mean.  I think sometimes we don't ask questions because we assume that we are the only ones who don't know the answer.  Then we start to tell ourselves that if everyone else knows it, then there must be something wrong with us because we don't, and then we don't ask because we don't want to feel stupid.  Come on, you know you have done this before.  I can't be the only person this has happened to.  Anyway, it turns out that the Bible's language is confusing for many people.  In the course of writing the episodes for this podcast, I have searched for many answers, and I have always found them.  If I were the only person who was confused, someone else wouldn't have taken the time to research my question and put the answer on the internet.  The internet is also an amazing thing.  I am not sure how many of you use it to answer your questions, but I highly recommend it.  First, you can ask it anything.  You don't have to remember where you can find something in the Bible because you can type it into the search bar, and the internet will find it for you.  You can type part of a verse into the search bar, and the internet tells you where you can find it in the Bible.  What I do is type my question exactly how I would ask a person, and I always come up with great answers.  I don't just put a word or two. I put the whole sentence in the search bar.  Second, you don't have to feel silly asking a question that you're sure you are the only person who doesn't know the answer to because no one knows you are asking the question.  You are asking for the computer, and it is not going to tell anyone.  It doesn't talk, so it won't make you feel silly.  When reading through the Bible, asking questions is great.  It was written a very long time ago in a different language and to a people living in a different time and a different culture.  There are things in it that are not going to make sense to us.  However, if we ask questions when we have them, we realize that even though they were written so long ago to very different people, they are still just as relevant today.  It is still talking to us today; when we just read through it and gloss over the parts or pass over the parts we don't understand, we miss an opportunity to know what God is trying to tell us.  This verse above is well written and has beautiful language, but if I hadn't asked, “What does fearfully and wonderfully made mean?” I wouldn't have learned that this verse is so much deeper than it seemed.  Ask your questions!  You deserve to know the answers.  Dear Heavenly Father, I pray you bless everyone listening to this episode today.  Lord, we thank you that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.  You are so gracious, and we love you.  Lord, we ask that you help us to understand the Bible when we read it.  We ask that you give us the courage to ask questions when we don't know what something means.  Lord, we ask that you help us take in the meaning of the words fearfully and wonderfully made.  We ask that you let those words sink into our hearts and help us to know how special we are.  We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name. Amen. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I would like to invite you to another journey. The journey of mentoring. This month, I am teaching all about the Power of God Within Us! We all have power living inside of us, and the more we learn about the power and authority we have inside of us, the stronger we will be in this crazy world. I pray you will join me and learn about the power you have because Christ died for us and send us the Holy Spirit. Remember, Jesus loves you so much, just as you are, and so do I!

Introduction A few years ago we had a Vacation Bible School that had a song that was pretty catch called “Wonerfully Made.” Some of you may remember that song and you may can do the motions still. I think about that song every time I read Psalm 139 . Last Sunday was the Sanctity of Life Sunday and if…

Ken Barrett, Psalm 139: Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by Terrill Road Bible Chapel

We aren't talking about global warming. It can be extremely difficult to keep a pure heart and mind before the Lord as we are constantly bombarded by images, media, cultural messages and other temptations from a world that does not think Biblically. So, how do we stop pollution?

Everyone is worthy of love. Marriage is one way that we reflect the love of Christ to each other. The world has many definitions and ideas on how marriage should look, but we want to know God's heart behind this beautiful union.

Sexuality is not scary. In fact, the Bible is open about laying a beautiful foundation of what healthy Christian sexuality looks like. We are given a generous framework in an intimate area of our life that can be honoring to God, not scary or tainted as the world paints it to be.

The Rev. Dr. John Kleinig is emeritus lecturer at Luther College, Adelaide, South Australia, and author of several books on Lutheran theology and spirituality, including Grace upon Grace, Wonderfully Made, and the volume on Prayer in the Lutheran Spirituality Series. In this warm and pastoral Kitchen Table Talk conversation originally from February 23, 2024, Dr. Kleinig answers vital questions on prayer from a biblical Lutheran perspective.    What is prayer? What different forms does it take? Is there such a thing as a “Lutheran rosary”? How does Christ teach us to pray, even today, through His Word? What does it really mean to pray “in Jesus' name”?   For further reading, check out the following books by Dr. Kleinig, which were referenced in the episode:  Lutheran Spirituality: Prayer  Grace upon Grace: Spirituality for Today  Wonderfully Made: A Protestant Theology of the Body   For further listening, check out our Lutheran Ladies' Book Club discussion of Wonderfully Made.  Connect with the Lutheran Ladies on social media in The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge Facebook discussion group (facebook.com/groups/LutheranLadiesLounge) and on Instagram @lutheranladieslounge.

Do you crave more joy or better mental health? In this episode of the Wonderfully Made podcast, Allie Marie Smith speaks with licensed professional counselor Diane Arnold about mental health, identity, and the importance of understanding one's purpose. They discuss Diane's new book, '12 Habits for a Sound Mind and a Joyful Life,' which offers practical strategies for healing and flourishing. The conversation delves into the significance of a sound mind from a biblical perspective, the impact of shame on mental health, and the role of relationships in maintaining well-being. Listeners are encouraged to cultivate self-awareness and apply the practical steps outlined in Diane's book to enhance their mental health and joy.   Takeaways -Mental health is essential for thriving and living out your purpose. -A sound mind involves having a healthy identity and self-esteem. -Practical application of wisdom is crucial for transformation. -Understanding one's identity and purpose is vital for mental health. -Shame often stems from societal pressures and personal experiences. -Relationships significantly impact our mental health and well-being. -Self-awareness is key to recognizing and addressing mental health challenges. -Joy is relational and requires connection with others. -Healthy boundaries are important in relationships to maintain peace. -Guilt is about actions; shame is about identity.     Visit our Website Join our online community   Get Allie's Book: “Wonderfully Made: Discover the Identity, Love, and Worth You Were Created For”   Shownotes direct link   Love her a Latte link: https://wonderfullymade.org/love-her-a-latte/  

Send us a textOur awareness of surrogacy is growing as commercial surrogacy and hollywood continue to utilise this process. But what should we think about it? Is it good? Or are there aspects we aren't considering? In this episode I discuss all the ins and outs of surrogacy. From the process and options available through to the people it impacts (spoiler alert - it impacts everyone!). We talk through the ethical considerations, the commodity of women and children, the international concerns and the long term ramifications for us as a society. We hope its a challenging and thought provoking discussion.

Do you know that you are wonderfully made? We can spend so much time thinking about what we don't like in ourselves. If we don't refocus our thinking, we can become depressed, filled with anxiety, and begin to spiral. Can I read you something from Psalm 139? I remember when I read these words for the first time, and I believed them. Listen to this: You, God, created my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. No matter what others have told you through the years or what you've told yourself, believe what is true and reject the lies. You are precious to God; He created you, He knows you, He loves you. Always remember, there is hope with God. radio.hopewithgod.com Find out more at https://hopewithgod.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
