Positioned to Prosper with Erica Pyle

#047//  How are you handling your kids' education in this season? In the last few months some incredible statistics have come out around the country indicating that many families are choosing to take a pass on public school education for their kids and, instead, homeschool them or pursue some sort of a hybrid method. And it's no surprise given the unsteady nature of the traditional brick...

#046//  How did you prepare to parent? If you don't yet have kids, how are you preparing even now?  If you've got kids I want you to think back to when you were getting ready to have them. How did you prepare? Did you read books about newborns and raising kids? Did you do a load of research and ask for tons of recommendations on must-have baby gear? Did you take a birthing class or a new...

#045// Emotions make crappy leaders. Probably one of the most common discussions inside the Christian community has to do with this question: Are emotions good, or are they bad? So, what do you think? God created us with the ability to feel emotions. This means the ability to emote is good because everything God creates is good. Are you with me so far? But did you know that there really are emotio...

#044//  You were made for victory!  Even when you don't feel it. Even when the situation looks not so good. Even when everyone and everything around you is telling you that you're going to lose, you must remember: You were made to win! You can do this. This is Biblical truth, not just a hype track. God saw this season before you got here. He's not surprised. He's allowing certa...

#043//  Have you ever been goaded into fighting dirty?  About a year ago I almost posted something to my social media feeds that would have been in direct opposition to the Biblical verse I consider to be my "life verse." I mean, how does someone who endeavors to make a sound for Jesus and His Kingdom daily find themselves with spiritual ears that have been dulled to the point where they...

#042//  Virtually everything you've been told by the government and "science" about the virus, masks and immunizations -- in terms of how to stay safe and how to steward your health -- has been unbiblical. Yeah, that's where this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast is going. I'm sharing the message I preached this past weekend at REVIVE Church of Tampa...

#041// Have you ever suffered because of someone else's bad choices?  All of us, at one time or another, have found ourselves suffering because of someone else's poor choices. And while suffering is relative to the person experiencing it, I think it's fair to say that suffering tends to be worse when it's brought on by a choice made by a person you're seemingly inextricabl...

#040//   Every weakness, dis-ease and sickness in the body has, at its foundation, a spiritual root.  Did you know that? But we aren't talking about this in the Church today because we don't want to "make" people feel guilty or to think that we're "blaming" them for being unwell. The truth is that dis-ease in the body comes from misalignment in our triune being -...

#039// Who's got the healthiest body on the face of the planet? On this week's episode of Positioned to Prosper I'm bringing you a live recording of a message I shared at my home church, REVIVE Church of Tampa (revivetampa.org) to kick off a monthly series we're doing called, The Truth About Health & Healing .  The message is called, The Healthiest Body on the Face of the P...

#038//  Do you think God's healing is a function of miracle or process?  Which one do you think it is? As I've discussed the topic with loads of people over the years, I've found that many believe it's either one or the other. And what's even more interesting is that they mainly think one of these options is "more Christian" than the other. Can you guess which on...

#037// Sugar should come with a warning label. Sugar can be considered to be dangerous "food-like" substance. It's true. Sugar highlights our celebratory meals and holiday tables, but it also permeates our daily diets, and it's the prevalence of the highly processed and concentrated form consumed on this day-to-day basis that is of high concern if our goal is to live long enoug...

#036//  So, does God care about what you eat? What do you think? Have you ever wondered what God thinks about your diet? Would his answer matter to you? And why does it matter what he thinks? These are the questions we're exploring on this episode of Positioned to Prosper podcast. We'll start with what the Bible has to say about the human diet, and we'll explore the wisdom it has to...

#035// On this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, I've got something really special for you. I’m going to be sharing with you the message I preached at the Friday night session of our REVIVE Women’s Conference  that just happened this past weekend. It’s called Coming Out in Power and I’ve got to say, this was an extremely powerful session. You know . . . we can do battle with the d...

#034//  Are celebration and rest regular parts of your lifestyle? I'm not just asking if you agree with celebration and rest as concepts . I'm asking if you regularly incorporate celebration and rest into your daily flow of living, working, creating and producing. When was the last time you intentionally and fully celebrated a win in your world? And when was the last time you took at lea...

#033// Did you know that you have a Sound on your life? We’ve all got a sound because that’s how God has made us. We’re sound-makers by design . Beacons. Repeaters, really. But if we don’t realize this piece of our nature – that we’re made to make a sound for the Kingdom – this ability to make a sound can get hijacked, and often does. But here’s the thing, no matter who’s controlling your sound –...

#032 //  Do you have a Jesus Girl Gang? Christians have been patterned to think that if we just belong to a church, read our Bible regularly and maybe just listen to a church message or two throughout the week that we're GOOD in terms of transformation, discipleship and growth. But this just isn’t true! We NEED deep and abiding relationships with people who are willing to walk through the tou...

#031//  What is real discipleship? Simply by asking that question, it's probably apparent that I believe there is a counterfeit kind of discipleship. And that, my friend, is the point of today's episode. I want to show you, through the Bible, what real discipleship is, and I’m going to do it by sharing four things that discipleship really isn't -- examples of what I call "count...

#030//  "What is truth?" In John 18, Pilate asked this very question of Jesus Christ. Here we are, thousands of years later, asking the same question -- "What is truth?" -- and struggling in our generation to answer, just the same as Pilate did. Jesus -- the living Truth -- was standing right in the room with him, and he still couldn't perceive what real truth was. Devasta...

#029//  Are you ready to finally get to your breakthrough?   Today on the podcast we're going to be talking about something I call The Breakthrough Blueprint . This blueprint is made up of four sets of questions, and it's a tool I hand to people whenever I'm helping them to get to breakthrough. Doesn't matter what area of life they are trying to get to breakthrough in . . . it...

#028// Erica is sharing her REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out message entitled "Coming Out: The Door of Favor" on this week's episode!   It's 2021 and the Church has experienced a tremendous wake-up call over the past year. As we look around we're realizing . . . it's time to make a sound for Jesus and the Kingdom in a way that is clearer and sharper than ever before. It&a...

#027//  Do you follow a budget? Do you want to? Today on the podcast we're talking about the importance of having and following a budget and some ways we can make sure that the budget we create and use is based on Biblical principles and godly wisdom. But let me just say, what that actually looks like might surprise you. Hint : There's risk involved in this brand of budgeting and it&apos...

#026//  Are we ready to say NO MORE to this victimhood culture we've got going lately? In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast, we’re talking about being a victim when it’s long past the expiration date. Oh, yeah, we are SO going there. So right off the bat I want to invite you to pull on your unoffendable pants and sweater, mkay? This episode should come with a warning, I tell y...

#025// Have you ever thought about homeschooling your kid? These days, the public school system environment and the curriculum being taught in its classrooms is becoming increasingly dismissive of the Biblical worldview and is, in many ways, actively working to program your kid into an anti-Kingdom culture. So it's no surprise that there has been an uptick in the number of faith-filled Christ...

#024// What does it look like to actively parent ? What does your gut say that means? And more importantly, what does your Bible say about it? In the current world we're living in, our children are bombarded on the daily with a particularly humanistic and anti-God worldview, more so than in any other generation before. From the things that are being taught as official "curriculum" i...

#023//  Are you carrying any amount of consumer debt currently? Any amount? And any type of personal debt from car loan to a mortgage on your home, a student loan or even an amount due on a past due medical or utility bill. Do you owe any sort of money to anybody for a good or service that you already consumed or used or are currently consuming or using? This is all the kind of debt we're goi...
