Positioned to Prosper with Erica Pyle

#097// Are you ready to talk about the real reason you're feeling stuck? After ten years of co-leading a church with my husband and leading a women's discipleship community for just about as long, I've heard folks say " I'm stuck " a LOT. We've all been there, right? But I've come to realize that when this happens for a Christian, there are four main reasons...

#096// Does the Church need a little "Come to Jesus" chat right about now? If you're someone who goes to Church meetings on the regular, let me ask you something . . . Are you following a *life philosophy* or the real and living Jesus Christ? Did I offend? I certainly hope not, but I also know that this question tends to be a "button" these days for those who "identif...

#095// There are two things keeping you out of Biblical health territory -- and they aren't your self-discipline or the diet plan you're following. Seven years ago I heard the Lord tell me to get my certificate in holistic health coaching. It wasn't so I could start a one-on-one health coaching practice (or even so I could pull myself out of a health relapse nose dive I was dealing...

#094// Does your prayer always seem to start with or major on "What should I do, Lord?   We've all been there, caught in the midst of a "situation," having to make a decision in a moment of crisis or tension, and we "throw up a prayer." And most times that prayer in that moment is something akin to, " What do I dooooooooo? " Is there a better way to approach...

#093// Some things you've been wanting from God, you can only get in His Rest.  Sometimes the thing we need really relies on our position, and the rest of God is a prime position to be in. It's in His rest that we can receive without striving, we can overcome without having to think up the perfect battle plan for ourselves, and we can trust even when we don't have all the data in ha...

#092// You can't "effort" your way into grace, but God can grace you for effective effort. Why are we "programmed" to think we have to work hard and do our very best in order to "deserve" God's rest? It's a question I think about a lot since the Bible tells us something very different about entering into God's rest. The writer of Hebrews makes it c...

#091// We've been sold a definition of rest by this world that just isn't accurate. The kind of rest the world pushes is insufficient. Have you realized this yet? The more you religiously engage with the self-care rituals, the more you aggressively disappear for “me time,” the more you pursue products that promise to curb your anxiety and bring you balance, the more you worship at the al...

#090// Most Christians aren't experiencing real rest, and it shows.  With the levels of anxiety, overwhelm and burnout we experience, is it really a surprise that most Christians aren’t really “doing rest right?” I know it just feels like one more thing to “worry” about, but when we get this rest thing “right,” it’s going to change *everything.* I promise! In this episode of the Positioned to...

#089//  Positioning your attitude properly in Christ is essential, not only for you to enjoy good outcomes in life, but also because it sets an example before pre-believers. I woke up this morning with the words " attitude adjustment " rattling around in my heart and mind. I went to spend some time with the Lord in His Word and in prayer, and I realized those words weren't just a ra...

#088//  Do you think manifestation is something a Christian should be "messing" with? Recently I've heard a good number of female Christian voices on social media warning their followers about the practice of manifestation. The general message has been: "Stay away from manifestation. Only God can manifest things." I don't see support for that sort of advice in scriptu...

#087//  How much time and energy do you waste worrying about what other people are thinking about you?   Whether it's something that someone says out loud, or something that you only think someone else is thinking about you, it's vital to know how to handle these sorts of thoughts as they are presented to you. You can't let them run on the hamster wheel of your mind unchecked, or yo...

#086//  Are you a Christian who feels like God's Word isn't working for you? Listen, we're going to say the quiet parts out loud on this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast because it's vital to identify this surreptitious lie and pull it out at the roots. According to Isaiah 55:11, God's Word *always* works and it never returns void, so it's time to press in...

#085//  "I'm doing every spiritual thing I know to do, but I'm still feeling overwhelmed, stuck and like it's just not working."  Has this ever been your experience? You are going to every church service and event, listening to every message you can get your ears on, and joining every Bible study and discipleship group you can squeeze into your schedule, and yet . . . it&a...

#082//  Do you believe women can make a sound into the earth for Jesus and His Kingdom? How about into the Church? If you're a woman who's got a sound on your life to make for Jesus and His Kingdom, you've got to be confident in making that sound. With so much debate in the church today around whether women are "allowed" to teach or preach, finding your confidence can be a...

#081//  Is there such a thing as "right place" and "right time" when it comes to breakthrough?   Do you think you have to position yourself when it comes to seeing the promises of God come to pass? Is it all up to you to find the exact right place and right time to access the provision of God? And if so, how do you figure those things out? Do you realize how much we actually th...

#080//  How's your faith feel these days? Seriously, though, is it feeling tired? Tired faith feels like reacting instead of responding. It feels like it's defensive a lot of the time, and that it lacks what it needs to get to the finish line. Tired faith breeds disappointment and bitterness. Tired faith can leave you hopeless and feeling like there's just no point. But that's...

#079// Is is possible -- Biblically speaking -- to accelerate breakthrough?  We've all been there. Going around the same mountain for the umpteeth time and wondering, "Will this ever end? Will I ever get out of this desert? When will I stop feeling so stuck?" And when you talk to your Christian friends, they point to a litany of scriptures to show you this timeline is " good &q...

#078 //  What's your "position" on the whole pre-tribulation/post-tribulation rapture timeline?  For many years, my husband and I were firmly set on the pre-tribulation rapture theory. We'd had a number of conversations about it, had looked at some scriptures concerning it, and had settled into a certain understanding. And then, last summer, as I drove over to Orlando for a bit...

#077//  How are you feeling about these times we're living in? Could you use some good news?  In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I'm sharing a word I felt the Lord drop into my spirit a few weeks ago around a new season that He's walking His Church into right now. It's such a breath of fresh air, friend. I can't wait to share! But to get to the fullness...

#076// Why do we resist the plan of God for our lives? Many times we'll say we haven't heard clearly or we just don't know what it is. But what if we do know, and we're really just saying, “But not like that”? In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I'm sharing a message that I recently shared at a REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out called, Vantage Point . Not all p...

#075//  " Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. " When you are in need of something, is your first thought, " I need to pour out right now "? Why not? If Jesus' words as recorded in Luke 6:38 are true, then giving will put you...

#074//  Hypervigilance and Hyper-Responsibility aren't gifts to be celebrated. They're curses to be broken. “I've always had to take care of myself.” “If I want it done right, I have to do it myself.” “I learned from a very young age how to be self-sufficient. I don't need anyone.” “There's no one coming to help me, so I better figure this out on my own.” These are the sou...

#073//  We talk about the dos and don'ts of discipleship all the time, but what about the *heart* of discipleship? In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, Erica is sharing a message she preached recently at her home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa, about the heart we should have when we disciple people. Many try to approach discipleship like corporate business training with a lit...
