Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

These 10 disciplines are easy to do, but they are also easy not to do. It all comes down to choice. We need to take responsibility for our own dreams and goals because unless we take the necessary action, we’ll never see the results. Just like you need all the ingredients listed in a recipe to make a delicious cookie, you need all the ingredients we talk about today to make your dreams come true....

Why is waiting so difficult? Can it actually benefit us to wait? As a goal-driven woman, the spiritual discipline of waiting is so, so hard! Is there a way to make it easier? Do you feel it? The hurry? The hustle? The busyness of life? But what happens when you get stuck waiting on something, and you can’t just hustle through it? That was me this past year. After moving to Colorado, my husband los...

Hey friend, today’s topic is pretty heavy. We are talking about some childhood trauma in the form of abuse, and I want to prepare you for that in case you have kids in the room and want to wait to listen to this when no little ears are present. This is a tough subject, but I also feel like it’s important to talk about. Joric McLean went through the unimaginable not only with his mom, but also with...

The 2021 Boston Marathon is a wrap! This was the first-ever (and possibly only) fall Boston Marathon, and it was quite an experience! There were highs, there were lows, and everything in between. The weather was almost perfect, and the crowds did not disappoint. Find out why this was my SLOWEST marathon ever and what my favorite sign was along the racecourse :)   RESOURCES MENTIONED Interview with...

I'm headed to Boston today to prepare for the Boston Marathon... a dream come true! This is deemed my victory run--and it's been years of waiting. Today I'll share what that means to me, what a victory run is, and how you can have your own victory run (no need to be a runner). If you're in waiting right now and just hoping that you'll come out the other side of your struggle, this episode is for y...

The story I’m sharing today is about a phoenix rising - Tina Krebs rose out of the ashes of her dark, toxic past and has flourished in a beautiful future. After getting up the courage to leave not just one, but two toxic relationships, she slowly picked up the pieces and put together a new life for her and her two children, one filled with renewal and hope and a new beginning. This episode is not...

We bought a house! What does it mean to trust while going through transition or change? What does it mean to trust while waiting for circumstances to turn around? Today I share a little about what trust has meant to me this past year as we encountered multiple trials and transitions. One thing I have realized is that waiting on God's timing is so worth it.    CONNECT WITH ME CONNECT WITH ME: ➡️ We...

New beginnings are hard because we often feel as if that means we have to let go of the past. For Heather Chapman, new beginnings means living without her precious daughter. The courage to have new experiences, celebrate birthdays and holidays, and go on family vacations without her was more than overwhelming the first two years. You might not be afraid of new beginnings because of death, but what...

I have a love/hate relationship with social media. It can be a great place to connect, ask questions, and network, but it can also be a place of shaming, comparison, and bullying. Our minds are so important to protect. God says to fix our eyes on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy. Do you find yourself scrolling mindlessly or engaging in online argument...

On today’s Thursday Tidbit we’re talking about trading the lies for the truth. This is a powerful lesson to learn, and it’s a practice we need to incorporate daily. In January we talked about the truth that you can control your thoughts, and I walked you through some steps you can take to do that. As the bouncer of your own mind, you need to recognize lies when they try to input into your mind and...

It’s already November, and we’re gearing up for another Thanksgiving season. November is known to be the month of thankfulness, and I love reflecting on the blessings in my life, but I don’t think it should be exclusive to Thanksgiving time. Gratitude is a trait we should adopt in our daily lives, and today we are going to talk about why gratitude works, what it does, and how to begin your own gra...

How many times have I made excuses because I didn’t feel like it, or I don’t think I have what it takes, or maybe it just seems too hard? But God wants to use our weaknesses, our pains, our trails, and turn them into our message.  Today’s guest is a perfect example of this. A flesh-eating bacteria left her in a 3-week coma, and she lost all four of her limbs, becoming a quadruple amputee. Life wou...

As our children’s parents and protectors, we need to be their largest advocate as well. In a world where society thinks it knows what’s best for our children, how do we do this? How do we fight for them and their needs, and why do we need to? Personally, what does it mean to advocate for my children? How do I become my child’s best advocate? These are questions Julie Jones will help us answer toda...

What do you do when you learn that your child is going to struggle with a physical challenge throughout her life?  As a mother of two daughters with hearing loss, Julie Jones knew her journey was going to be a different one.  She wanted to share her story in the book The Lemonade Stand 2 in hopes of helping other parents deal with the emotional and mental struggle when learning their child has a p...

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and even if it doesn’t look like it on the outside, we do have a lot to be thankful for. This is a short devotional or encouragement for you today. I want to share with you what I’m learning in hopes that God uses me to be a light-bearer in a dark world. Over the past few weeks, or really over the past year, have you felt some anxiety or fear well up? I know I have. This...

Anxiety is not just a passing fear, it is a crippling, overwhelming feeling that affects your decisions, your health, and how you view life. This past year, more than ever, moms have been overwhelmed with anxiety because the pandemic hasn’t only caused fear over a virus. Many have also been put into bad financial situations, parents are struggling to teach their kids at home, all while the media i...

The battle for our minds is real, and it can come in the form of exercise or food or diet culture, and we need to take the lies captive and trade them for the truths surrounding who we are and who God created us to be. We were perfectly knit in our mother’s womb, and God doesn’t make junk! This is exactly why I want to share my food story with you, and I felt like it was even better to share an in...

Right now more than ever, we want to know how we can be healthier and build our immune systems to fight off viruses or diseases if they strike. We want to (or should want to) get to the root of our health problems.  I have learned a ton about natural health from Michelle Landrum. She was on a bunch of medications in high school and her early 20s, and after an asthma attack that almost put her in t...

Throughout our lives, there are times that we may step back and wonder if you are living to the fullest or if we took the right path or if our decision-making is wise. We each will find ourselves at a fork in the road or at a roadblock that becomes an obstacle and sets us in motion for transition. And, it’s in these moments that we have a decision to make. Do we take the path less traveled and red...

At some point in everyone’s life, and this can come at any age, we will ask ourselves, “What am I doing?”  This came into my life after breaking my ankle two and a half years ago, and I was stuck in a transition where I was forced to slow down and actually take a look at what I was going, and I had to decide if it was the direction I wanted to be going.  Breaking my ankle caused many emotions and...

Have you ever wondered if your story was worth sharing? Could it really make an impact? Will it actually inspire someone else?  I wondered that too, but then I realized that each of our stories is unique, but they all serve a purpose. When we share our stories, we are sharing with others that they are not alone. When we take a trial and turn it into a victory, we are making an impact to show other...

Is there anything about you that you find a hindrance rather than a superpower? Does something hold you back from going after your goals? Michelle Faust has a severe hearing loss that impacted her own self-worth and created limiting beliefs that kept her stuck for years. Her story is full of vulnerability, courage, and learning how to cope in a world which values perfection by developing her alter...

Critical thinking is vital when it comes to our freedom. Critical thinking and logic come from asking good questions and seeking the answers for yourself. I challenge you to ask your own questions, to get off social media, and do your own research. Today I'm going to share some of my own questions with you.   FULL SHOW NOTES https://redhotmindset.com/episode11/ CONNECT WITH ME ➡️ Website:  https:/...

Have you noticed all the noise lately? I have. So many voices are trying to claim their own truths, many of which sound appealing and enticing. Many of the voices sound like good ideas. They may even sound Biblical in nature. But are they actually truths? How do we tell if what we’re hearing is right or wrong? How do we tell if a speaker is Biblically sound or if they are teaching falsities? How c...

We will stay in the grieving process until we’re ready to embrace and understand our emotions and take steps forward into the new beginnings. This doesn’t mean forgetting. When we’re grieving a loss, we should keep those precious memories of our loved ones with us, but we also need to step out of the past and into the future that God has for us. Today, Kathleen is going to walk us through how to b...
