Several years ago, I noticed someone creating intriguing posts, videos, and live streams on Facebook. She was and is on fire! She is a Christian believer, is beautiful inside and out, encourages me and kicks my butt when needed --she is my business coach, Diane Cunningham Ellis! Listen as Diane shares her mission to inspire women to dream big, catch on fire, and change the world. Diane is a busine...

I'm excited to have guest speaker Dana Arcuri share on today's topic about trusting God in the dark, when you aren't sure what direction to go in your life and/or business. God may even surprise you and take you somewhere that is not even on your radar, like He did with Dana! He doesn't want you to stay in your comfort zone, but to obey Him and to stretch your faith, as you walk into the Great Unk...

I’m excited to announce my Women in Business podcast series is now kicking off. An entrepreneur is defined as someone starting a new business with a greater than normal financial risk. He or she starts a business from an idea or a product created and reaping the reward. There are stress and challenges, but also exciting adventures. The Proverbs 31 woman is an example of a great business woman. I s...

The world has been watching the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial. Through this trial, we've observed mental health issues such as possible borderline personality disorder, alcoholism, drug addiction, domestic violence, and more. Please keep Johnny, Amber, and their families in prayer. May is Mental Health Awareness month to help with the stigma of mental health issues, especially for those...

In this episode, I share about the crushing and the pressing of grapes in order to make fine w...

Testing Anchor’s mobile app to begin using the Record With Friends feature. I’d like to begin interviewing Christian speakers, authors, coaches, and other entrepreneurs to encourage you to use your gifts for God and to make an impact.

Have you or a loved one ever had something unexpected happen - something bad, overwhelming, or stressful? In today's podcast, I'll be speaking on the topic of "When life throws you a curve ball." Sometimes unexpected good things occur - serendipity. A pleasant surprise. But for today's topic, I'll be covering the topic of those times when you're wondering what in the world is going on here? The go...

You see colored eggs, bunny rabbits, and Easter baskets in Walmart and other stores now, indicating that Easter is coming up this week. For Christian believers, Easter isn't about cute little bunnies but about Jesus dying for us, being buried, and resurrecting so that God would forgive us and we could live and co-reign forever with Him. The week before Easter is called "Passion Week." Why is it ca...

One thing I love to get is a knock at the front door and it's the Amazon delivery driver with a package for me! This week I got a package and outside the bubble-wrapped envelope it read, "Knock, knock. I'm here." So cute and creative! This reminded me immediately of the verse in Revelation 3:20, where Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart and wanting to be invited in. Timely words, as I just...

Are you under a lot of stress? Having techie issues or other frustrations or distractions that are hindering or stopping you from your God-given calling? This episode comes from a video I recorded this past weekend about all the stressful internet, techie, laptop, podcast, and iPhone issues that I've been having lately. I share the story of how 1000's of my pics and videos from my old iPhone got l...

Welcome to my first podcast at Anchor! My mission is encouraging women to use their spiritual gifts for God's glory, fulfilling their great purpose, and living a life they love. I help aspiring speakers and authors to share their hearts' powerful messages. God wants to use YOU in amazing ways! It is always an exciting adventure with God when we walk in obedience to Him. 

Who or what is holding you steady in this crazy, hectic world? Jesus Christ is that anchor. My new platform for podcasting, Anchor, gave me the inspired idea for this podcast. An anchor is streamed from a boat or ship in heavy weather to stabilize the vessel. Early anchors were crude metal devices, but most today are a marine drogue parachute, acting like a brake. They keep the boat or ship from o...

Valentine's Day is coming up this week. I love Valentine's Day to show my family how much I love them and because I love hearts. Love is the most powerful force of all. God demonstrated that love for us through the death and the resurrection of His Only Son Jesus Christ. It's not always easy to love God and others. But it's even harder to love our enemies, yet that is what God does to His. He has...

I love the beginning of each new year. It’s like a brand-new, fresh start with God. My ”one word” for 2022 that God gave me is ”miracles.” I believe He is going to do miracles in 2022 and give you, me, and those we love serendipity - which means ”pleasant surprises”! God loves us so much and will forgive us of any sin if we ask Him and have faith in Jesus. His forgiveness covers us like the beauti...

Are you in alignment? Alignment means "arrangement in a straight line, or in a correct position; a position of agreement or alliance." I believe that you and I need to be aligned in 3 areas of our lives: aligned with God; aligned with your purpose; and aligned with your passions, dreams, and goals. In today's podcast, I unpack these 3 areas where we need alignment. The Scriptures are Deuteronomy 1...

Right now the USA troops are attempting to extract American citizens, missionaries, and those who worked for and with the American government out of Afghanistan to rescue them from the dangers of the Taliban who are now in control. Hurricane Ida has made landfall in Louisiana, and is now a category 4 hurricane with winds up to 150 mph. The Delta variant of Covid-19 has been impacting more people,...

So much is happening in the world now that is scary. Haiti's 7.2 magnitude earthquake. The Taliban taking over Afghanistan. The Delta variant of the Coronavirus, mask mandates, and more lockdowns. Violence across the world. But God doesn't want you and me to be afraid. Let's step out of fear and into faith, trusting Jesus. How do we do that? Romans 10:17 NKJV says, "So then faith comes by hearing,...

This morning I watched Prophetic Messenger/Bible teacher Kay Nash teach on YouTube, "Find Balance: The Message The Church Needs About Finances." One of the things she said which struck me was, "Dream poverty." Have your dreams died? Do you feel that this is not the life you signed up for and so you have just stopped dreaming? God is the Dream Giver and Dream Fulfiller. He has made my dreams come t...

What is your biggest dream or desire? God is the Dream Giver and the Dream Fulfiller! Psalm 37:4 says, "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Recently my husband Ray, our daughter Leah, and I traveled to the Grand Canyon in Arizona to celebrate Leah's college graduation with her Bachelor's of Science degree in Graphic Design. It was beautiful and incredible...

Last night our youngest daughter Leah treated my husband Ray and me to supper at Bella's Italian restaurant in Lee's Summit, Missouri. It is an authentic Italian restaurant. The servers speak Italian to each other. Beautiful piano and violin music played in the background. The food was so good! It was fun and truly a time of refreshing. In today's podcast, I share about Acts 3:19. "Repent, then, a...

This morning I had a dream about a pregnant woman in labor. I believe the dream was from God and is about you and me needing to dream bigger. Are you living and dreaming too small? Listen as I share about the dream and what I believe to be its interpretation. This is the year for you to start writing your book(s) and to step out speaking. This is the year for God to fulfill your big dreams! In thi...

Our family traveled one weekend to Saint Louis, Missouri, for a fast, fun adventure to see the Arch. It is the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and is Missouri's tallest accessible building, standing at 630 feet high. Our granddaughter Annabelle was scared of heights and was terrified to go to the top. She cried all the way going up in the elevator with us. But when we arrived...

Today my friend Elizabeth Zacharias and I went to eat Mexican lunch in Butler, Missouri, where I live. Afterward, we ran errands and stopped by The Carpenter's Cup, the local Christian bookstore. While drinking my cappuccino, I talked with the woman who decorates the window (display) and the store. She shared how thankful she is that God has given her a little piece of His creative gift inside of...
