We're Going There with Bianca Juarez

Hi Friends! I hope you came ready to laugh! In today’s episode I chat with Yvonne Orji, an Emmy-nominated Nigerian American actress, writer and comedian. She entertains international audiences and is a sought-after speaker. Her TEDx talk; “The Wait Is Sexy,” has garnered over a million views. In this episode, I get to ask Yvonne the perennial question: Does God have a sense of humor? I’m a firm believer that God not only has a sense of humor but has a great sense of humor. As someone who values humor, wit, and banter, I’ve come to see it reflected in Scripture from the One who created the world. Whether you believe in God or not, Jesus longs to have a relationship with you! So, I can’t imagine that if we, His most valuable creation, have wide varieties of humor that range through individual personalities, that the God of the universe, who created us in His image, does not have one. I hope you enjoy listening to Yvonne as much as I enjoyed interviewing her. Do me a favor, take notes, laugh, and tag @YvonneOrji and I @BiancaOlthoff, on Instagram to win a copy of her fabulous book!

Hi Friends! We’ve all gone through hard seasons in life. And some of us have even been through a season wanting to fulfill a dream or get a promotion or the family that we’ve always wanted and then not being able to get what we want when it seems like we’re almost there. In today’s episode, my guest Jordan Lee Dooley will be sharing with us some practical steps on how to navigate painful setbacks and hardships. Jordan shares how difficult experiences, waiting seasons, and our greatest disappointments can bring clarity to what we really want in life. If you find yourself frustrated because you are not where you thought you should be in life, this episode is for you. Life is filled with unmet expectations, disrupted dreams, uncertainty, and in-between seasons. Lean in and listen to how Jordan’s experiences taught her to take a long pause, audit her life, and learn how to gain greater clarity about what she truly wanted, why she wanted it, and how to begin pursuing it. Friend, if you are in a season of in-betweens, not-quites, and unknowns you are not alone. You belong to this community and we’re here for you. Let Jordan know how this episode has impacted you by tagging us @BiancaOlthoff and @JordanLeeDooley Talk to you next week, friend!

Hi Family! Welcome back to a new season of the podcast. On today’s episode we are kicking off season FIVE with the incomparable and uber talented Tasha Cobbs Leonard. I’m excited to jump into today’s interview and topic at hand. I’m sure you’ve seen or heard the phrase BossBabe or GirlBoss. Women are using the tags on photos that demonstrate their professional or personal strength, fearlessness, successes, and ambition, and desire to lift up others in the process. But something about those titles and ethos rubbed me the wrong way. It seems that by having to identify ourselves as GIRLBOSS and shouting our girl-ness and boss-ness from the hashtag rooftops that we’re overcompensating for something – why not just show your success by being a good boss. Tasha could use the hashtag all day everyday of BossBabe, but instead she uses her entrepreneurial, pastoral, and creative prowess to SHOW not tell. I can’t wait for you to get to know and love this beautiful and talented woman of God. Take notes and quotes and tag us @BiancaOlthoff and @TashaCobbsLeonard on social media so we can repost your learnings. I love when our guests know the impact they are having! I can't wait to see what you're learning and loving about this series.

My Friends! We’re Going There Podcast has hit 1 MILLION downloads and we are here to celebrate!🎉 I took a pause from my day and hopped on a quick call with my twin sister Jasmine Star to process and savor this moment. You know why? Because I wanted to create an Ebenezer moment. A moment that I can look back to and remember how good God has been in my life. But friends, this moment would not have been possible without YOU! I’m so grateful to all of the faithful listeners and for the not-so-faithful listeners too. Because everyone that’s clicked to listen to any of the episodes on any of the platforms has been a part of this milestone. THANK YOU!!! I had a BIG dream, but I got here by starting small. I took the small step of looking up what the beginner podcasting equipment was, and bought it. That step created a ripple effect as I continued to take step after step to launch this podcast. And today, I’m celebrating 1 Million downloads. Yay! If you have listened to 1 of the one million downloaded episodes, share with me what your #1 step is going to be as you pursue your dream. Post on your Stories what your #1 step is and tag me @BiancaOlthoff on it. Like my sister Jasmine said: You need to be ok with having the courage to put yourself out there and be publicly accountable and you need to be ok with being mediocre. You also need to be ok with God blessing what you’re doing to get to step #2.  I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines! Love you friends! 🖤 B RESOURCES: What’s your #1 step?

Welcome to our LAST episode of season 4! Today, thanks to the help of author, poet, and Bible teacher Jackie Hill Perry, we are going to talk about moving from basic to holy. In short, holiness is doing things that please God. It’s what you do with your time and your actions. It is living to please God—and it bears fruit! You live holy because you are motivated by your relationship with and love for your heavenly Father. Of all the goals we have for our life, the most important is to pursue holiness because it is God’s goal for our life. If we truly love God we will commit to making holiness the primary purpose of our life. I was excited to have JHP on the show. As always, I LOVE giving away some of my favorite resources to podcast listeners.
