Cup of Soul Podcast

What are you waiting for? Truly, what is it that you are waiting for? Is it for the right time, the right place, until you are organized, when the kids have grown up? When we wait it is not about sitting and doing nothing. God has asked us to continue while we wait. To endure, keep going, preserve and never stop. This week we are going to say something that might step on toes - waiting is a gift....

Why do we like movie trailers so much? . Because it gives a highlight of the best parts of the movie and leaves us wanting more. And sometimes the trailers are so in depth that we decide we don't need to see the actual movie, the trailer was good enough. Have you ever thought that way about your life? What if God gave you the trailer to the season that you are heading into - how would you feel abo...

When you are scrolling through social media - what are you really doing? . Are you catching up with family, adding new recipes to your rotation, or are you comparing yourself to the images that you see? If we are being honey we have all been in a situation or had an interaction where we have compared some aspect of our lives to something else. And if we are being REALLY honest it never leaves us f...

  Building Resilience Last week we took a look at resistance building resilience, acknowledging how much we need it. . And now this week it is time that we learned how to build up our resilience and keep up a reserve. Having a reserve means that we are going to stay dependent on God, letting our weakness become our strength. . So this week - get your pens, we are going to give you seven practical...

This is the one! This is the episode that is going to give you revelation, conviction and encouragement. We are talking about the "why" - why there is a pushback when it feels like you are doing everything right. Why it feels like you have been sitting in the waiting room for a long while with nothing changing. Here's something that you might not know. You ready?..... God has given you EVERYTHING...

When we look back on the years of our lives so many emotions come up - dreams, people, places, what we learned, and how much we have changed. In all of those areas there is a difference in what we do, verses who we are - and how God shows us both along the way. In this episode we dig into those differences and how we remain "gritty" through it all. Get your cups. journals, pens and Sisterfriends!...

You just received an invitation to a wonderful celebration. Do you let it sit on the table to eventually forget about it or do you respond right away? Now what about when it comes to God? Are you responding to what God is asking you to do or do you let it slide hoping that things will work out? In this episode we are talking about what it means to respond to obedience - knowing that we have been g...

When it comes to obedience we often think of training - being respectful and mindful of the rules and laws. Doing what you are told to avoid punishment. And usually it involves something that we do not really want to do. Now, that same obedience is a gift. It's the very power you need to run the race that God has set before you. It allows you to worship, show loyalty and demonstrate love. In this...

  Connection of Perspective, Purpose and Pivoting.   Do you realize that everything you do is connected to your perspective? Where you go, what you buy, the things you say - are all connected to your perspective. Have you ever thought about what your perspective is connected to? Is it your family? What you watch on TV? Or to your purpose? And what if we told you that the old perspective you have,...

Who remembers the game Pac-Man? You gobble up those little dots until you bump into the wall only to turn back around and start gobbling them up again? Do you ever feel like that - that you have to pivot, turn around and keep going in a different direction? In Chapter 3 we are going to be given tools that will remind us what God has already said - you are resilient. You have everything inside of y...

This week we are jumping right in... RESILIENCE.  Do you have a story about literally falling, tripping, or being brought to your knees? If so, share it with the group.  What does that mean to you?

Last week it was about setting priorities - making first things first and this week we are sharing what faithfulness looks like in our lives. Morning routines, setting up the night before, and praying. It is no longer about a check in the box or gathering credits for good deeds - but being delighted in the Word at all times. With a firm foundation of faith we are setting our eyes on Jesus and ever...

"Becoming Unoffendable" In this week's episode we are answering YOUR questions about all things related to being unoffended. How we deal with in our everyday lives, what it means to choose to stay without offense and what we have learned during these last two months of study.   We have learned that... As followers of Christ, we must choose to avoid giving offense, but we must also choose to not ta...

When you find a good deal on something, what is one of the first things you want to do? You want to tell everyone! You are excited and you want others to experience that same joy and save, right? And on the opposite side, how does it feel when someone shares a good deal with you? You are appreciative and thankful that they thought of you to share.    Now think about that same thing in terms of lif...

When was the last time you felt your heart beat so fast that you could barely catch your breath?   That you were so excited about something that you could not sleep? When you felt truly alive? Each day God gives us the opportunity to come alive with Him. To put down our selves, the things that we strive for on our own, and live the life that was promised to us.   In this last chapter of The 7 Hard...

When was the last time you got away? "I can't be gone for a whole weekend. Who will take the kids to football pracitice?" "My husband hates it when I'm gone. It's not worth the hassle and it the last day of school." "It's out of my comfort zone and a little scary." We have a hundred reasons why we shouldn't go to the women's retreat. Some years the voices win out, and we stay home. Later, when we...

Do you know what a lemming is? A little animal who somehow gets in his mind a weird compulsion. And then all of them get it. They go headlong on a journey toward the sea. Over the mountains they go. Across the rivers they go. Through the woods they go, on and on until they get to the sea. Then they all jump in and drown. They're doing everything to get there—then that's it. Have you ever felt like...

  👉🏽Without followers what is the purpose of a leader?            When was the last time you thought about the kind of follower you are? What does your followship look like?

Time to go to the Lord to fill us up and to be where we a...

As a women,   we wear lots of hats in which we are call to lead. We are capable people . However, we must be able to lead ourselves first- in order to fulfill what God has planned for our lives, we must submit to his way of doing things. In Chapter 6, we are reading about God asking us to lead and follow. Understanding that not only are we called to do both, but we are equipped to do both. To try...

Are you ignoring something God wants you to do out of fear of rejection or scrutiny? Ask the Lord to help you determine if and when he wants you to lead.       This week's hardest thing that God asks a woman to do is lead AND follow. When you think of being a leader, what characters come to mind? What attributes demonstrate good leadership? Do you think of yourself as these things? Well it is time...

  God is….  When we say that God is, we must first identify who he is. . Then, what he is to us personally. For me I would like to say that he is my everything. Saying that is a powerful statement that sums up my life. To proclaim that he is my everything is the result of him meaning nothing to me at some point in my life. That may sound harsh because it startled me as I was writing.  To even thin...

  One of the hardest lessons we have to face, which we try to deny, is that we are in control of so little in our lives. Life is really one change after another. One thing that doesn't change, however, is God's truth that guides us. I'm grateful for the steady hand His Word offers when the roller coaster of life takes us on one ride after another. Oftentimes we will receive advice to "hold on" whe...
