Send us a textOpposition is the number one cause of our heartache and pain in this world. So it makes sense why we would want to avoid opposition at all costs and try to create a life that doesn’t have opposition in it. But what if I told you that opposition is actually our greatest opportunity to have a better relationship with the Savior. Opposition is what allows us to build that relationship and grow to become more like Him.This means that life is hard but “men are that they might have joy.”  President Nelson said, “Despite the distractions and distortions that swirl around us, you can find true rest—meaning relief and peace—even amid your most vexing problems.”Listen to the Meaningful Minutes Podcast as I discuss why opposition happens and an opportunity I have for you to learn how to face it with better tools in hand so that you can find relief and peace in the middle of opposition.Join the FREE Hear Him in the Chaos Classhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/Hear-Him-In-The-Chaos-ClassYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 81: Fortify Your Faith For Future Challengeshttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/81 Episode 69: When You Struggle to "Hear Him"https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/69 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textI think we often misunderstand that our natural man state and the adversary are actually two different things but they do assist each other.Scripture (Mosiah 16:5)  teaches us that when we continue in the natural man state for long enough then the adversary will begin to influence us. There are many ways he does this. Some are obvious but some are not and that is why it is difficult to recognize his influence. In this episode of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast  I am sharing with you 4 major ways I see the adversary attacking women today when we fall into that natural man state.Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group CoachingJOIN THE WAITLISThttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/rrr-waitlistYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 54: From Chaos to Peace: Can That Really Happen?https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/54 Episode 31: Why I created the Removing Roadblocks to Revelation Group Coaching Programhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/31 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textThe world is a completely different place than it was and our spirituality is on the chopping blocks if we aren’t careful. In fact, Elder Anderson said,“We realize that as evil increases in the world, our spiritual survival, and the spiritual survival of those we love, will require that we more fully nurture, fortify, and strengthen the roots of our faith in Jesus Christ.”I think it’s imperative that we talk about it and how we can truly fortify ourselves. also what is leading to the breakdown of our spiritual foundations. I have noticed 3 things our leaders have warned us about that is breaking down our foundations. Listen in as I share what those are and how we can combat them.Get the Spiritual Survival Course for 50% OFF with this special linkhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/offers/iYpaqkaBHave questions about the Spiritual Survival Course? Shoot me and email nikiolsencoaching@gmail.comMeaningful Prayer Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/Prayer-JournalSeeking Personal Revelation Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/revelationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 69: When You Struggle to "Hear Him"https://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/69 Episode 61. 3 Ingredients to Spiritual Survivalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/61 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textThere are many people who are struggling with their personal testimony and oftentimes it can be difficult to know how to love and support them. Should we ask questions? Should we offer advice or suggestions? Or should just leave them alone and give them space to walk their journey? Truth be told, everyone’s faith journey is different and there isn’t one right answer as to how we should support them. But we can learn from other’s experiences and try our best to emulate the most loving actions that helped them.So this week on the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I welcomed Darla Pierre to share her story and what helped her through her crisis of faith. We dive into where her journey began, how people helped her, and the blessings that came from her journey.Follow Darla on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/darlapierre3-Foundations to Fortify Your Faith LIVE Traininghttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/3-foundations-to-fortify-your-faith-LIVE-Training-registrationMeaningful Prayer Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/Prayer-JournalSeeking Personal Revelation Journalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/revelationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 76: When You Feel Uncertain in Prayerhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/76 Episode 61. 3 Ingredients to Spiritual Survivalhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/61 Check out what other resources are available from Nikihttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.comFollow Niki on social media for more free contenthttps://www.instagram.com/nikiolsencoaching/Click the link for more informaiton on the FREE Virtual Relief Society Fireside and bulk discount on the Meaningful Prayer Journals for your Ward Sisters Christmas or Birthday gifts.https://ldsmentalhealthco.myshopify.com/products/preorder-meaningful-prayer-journal?variant=42314107814077

Send us a textI always thought that in order to pray with real intent I needed to feel a force behind it, an urgency or a desperateness. This always felt off to me that I needed to make my prayers feel forced, urgent or desperate. Until I started really studying about what meaningful prayers really meant, I had no idea what real intent meant. In this episode of the Meaningful Minutes Podcast I want to walk you through what it really means to pray with real intent.Meaningful Prayer Journal- Use code: HOLIDAY for buy 5 get 1 FREEhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/Prayer-JournalSeeking Personal Revelation Journal- Use code: FALLSALE for 20% offhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/revelationYou might also enjoy these episodes from the Meaningful Minutes PodcastEpisode 74: The Art of Meaningful Prayerhttps://www.nikiolsencoaching.com/blog/74 The Gospel is Not a Checklist.

Send us a textPrayer is tricky right? On one hand we are told that we need to ask to receive. Knock and it shall be opened.  Yet on the other hand we are told to patiently trust in God’s timing. That God will answer in His own way and timing.Those opposing concepts used to get me tripped up. I felt like all I needed to do was ask and it would be granted. But also felt as though I needed to guess correctly what God’s will was then it would be granted. Almost trying to guess what God wants for me. So what is it that you are supposed to do when you don’t get what you desire from prayer?
