Are you running on empty? Like you're giving so much but have nothing left for yourself? What if there was a way to truly refuel and find balance in life? Join my friend DeAnza Jarrett and I for Day 2 of the Personal Growth series as we discuss the essential concept of replenishment – what it is, why it matters, and how to make it a regular part of your life.What I want is for you to walk away understanding the vital concept of replenishment and its profound impact on our overall well-being. Guess what friend… replenishment is not a luxury, it is a necessity for thriving. This episode is jam packed with actionable steps and practical handles to help you: Understand the replenishment cycle and its relevance to different life stages Identify and prioritize replenishment activities across all areas of well-being (physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual) Acquire Biblical insights on the importance of rest, restoration, and balance Gain strategies for integrating replenishment into daily routines and overcoming common obstacles Recognize the difference between superficial self-care and deep, meaningful replenishment Follow this link: http://www.patersongroup.com/bianca to get access to all of the FREE resources provided by the Paterson Group.Join the conversation!

Replenishment is not just about self-care; it's about refueling all areas of life. Disciplines are different from replenishment; both are necessary. Replenishment can take on different cadences: daily, weekly, quarterly, and annually. Integrate replenishment into your life, even in busy stages. Invite others into your replenishment activities when possible. Make replenishment a priority to avoid burnout. ⋇Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/ ⋇Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC ⋇The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq ⋇So grateful to our sponsors!⋇Subscribe to We’re Going There on your favorite podcast app so you don’t miss out on any of the great topics and conversations.

Have you ever felt like your leadership journey was more about enduring pain than achieving success?In this sneak peek of a leadership development session held at Revere Church, I explore the challenges and pain often associated with leadership. It emphasizes that pain can be a catalyst for growth and the importance of developing healthy coping mechanisms. Drawing inspiration from biblical figures like David, the session highlights finding strength in faith and building a supportive community.My focus is to encourage everyone to embrace their leadership journey, acknowledging pain, and seeking growth through faith and connection with others. Some key topics include: The role of community during crises Pursuing purpose amidst pain Addressing personal pain The value of trust Balancing discipleship with individual beliefs The impact of presence Finding God's guidance during difficult times can bring peace and help overcome the fear of pain and of having to prove yourself to others. Carefully consider the cost of discipleship, but also know that the rewards of faithfulness are always worth the challenges. Share your challenges and also your victories by tagging me @biancajuarezofficial.XO,BRESOURCES/LINKSLeadership Pain: The Classroom for Growth by Samuel Chand https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Pain-Classroom-Samuel-Chand/dp/0718031598 Leading Through Pain | Craig Groeschel Leadership PodcastQuoteYour vision must push you past your pain.Takeaways Leading through pain is possible and necessary.

Can silence be a source of healing? Are you ready to embrace the power of silence in your life?Friends, I’m excited to introduce the profound concept of a "theology of silence". I have discovered the transformative power of finding strength in the face of betrayal through stillness and silence.It is so important to learn to share our stories from a place of healing and wholeness, rather than from a position of woundedness. Using the life of King David as a powerful example, I discuss the vital lessons of: Integrity: Maintaining moral and ethical standards even amidst trials. Honor: Honor up, honor down, and honor all around. Surrender: The profound power of yielding to God's will, even in the face of betrayal and challenges. I want to encourage you to reflect on your own journey of healing and consider the role of silence in your lives. Share your story of how you are overcoming challenges and finding healing and tag and me @biancajuarezofficial.Love you,BRESOURCES/LINKSRevere ChurchHonor Anyways // Cesar Delgado // Mark 6:1-6QuoteWe honor up, we honor down, we honor all around.Takeaways Sharing stories from a healed place is crucial. Honor others regardless of their behavior. The Lord will fight for you; you only need to be still. Betrayal can come from both authority figures and peers. Integrity is essential in leadership. Silence can be a powerful response to injustice.
