Hi friends! As we reach the end of 2021, many of us have had to face something that we didn’t plan for. Things have gone a little bit different than you might have thought, and you've had, what I call, a change of plans. Facing things that we didn't plan for can be jarring and can even rattle our faith. Sometimes we wonder why things aren’t going as planned and even wonder where God is. When we don’t know what is going on, we must hold on to what we know to be true: Though your plan may have changed, your purpose hasn’t. God has a purpose for you. The reason Jesus came to earth was for you. I want you to plant this truth in your heart.  Let me know how your plans have changed and where you see God show up in this season. You can tag me @BiancaOlthoff on your posts and also share this podcast with your friends and family. If this show is something you like, leave a rating and review so it can get into more ears around the world. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, friends! 🖤 B Music by: Brad Tsushima, Instagram: @bradtsushima, email: bradtsushima94@aol.com, Spotify: “R.A.D.” Learn more about your ad choices.

And then talk to someone, it'll change everything for you. 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hey friends, as we count down to the end of the year, many of us are contemplating this past year and what we are looking forward to next year. On today's show, we get to have a conversation on how to grow in your faith and impact the world around you with author, seminarian, and overall good guy, Zach Windahl. He wrote The Bible Study, and in this episode, I picked his brain on why the practice of reading God's word is important. My hope is that you love Zach as much as I do. Let us know what you learned from this episode by sharing on social media and tagging @BiancaOlthoff and @ZachWindahl. You can find all of his resources by going to The Brand Sunday. Friends, I want you all to know that in this season of gift-giving, you are a gift to me. Your comments, reviews, and emails keep encouraging us and are like wind to our sails.

We are the salt of the earth. This declares who we are and what our purpose is. We are called to add Christ flavor to whatever environment we are placed in. We are to preserve a Christ like culture in a morally decaying world. And we can cause others to thirst after the God that we have inside of us.  Stay salty my friends! 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Friends, when I think about the end of the year, I want to ensure that we’re setting ourselves up for a strong year to come. One of the practices I've developed in my life is finding a word or phrase for the year. Today I want to walk you through my process on how I find a word for the following year. There's nothing mystical or magical about this process, it's a guide to help you through not just daily or weekly activities, but to set an intention for the year. This one word will help center you when life gets crazy or you feel you’ve lost your way or your convictions. Three steps to follow are: Pause Think Create a List If you don't have a word for the year yet, I really encourage you to make time and really go through the process. When you get your word, I’d love to know what it is! You can tag me @BiancaOlthoff on your posts or you can share this podcast with your friends and family and do this activity together. As always, I’m honored to create content that I believe will shape and shift your life. If this show is something you like, will you consider rating and reviewing it so it can get into more ears around the 🌏? It would mean the world to me.

What God gives to you, he wants to give through you. God is looking for people He can use. Will you be a cup or will you be a straw? If you're a cup, you just get filled up and that's it. But when you’re a straw God can channel His blessing through you to other people. When you're going through a tough time you still can say: God I don't have much but I'm willing to share. When you do this, God promises three things; first - you will grow spiritually, second -  He will use you to meet the needs of other people, and third - you'll bring Him glory. When you give away what you have, God will open the door of blessings in your life in ways you can’t imagine. 🖤 B Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hello friends! Today’s conversation is around pop culture. Why do many Christians want to shy away from this topic? I want to jump in and have a conversation about it. Why? Well call me crazy, but I believe that everything including culture is covered by God's control and love otherwise known as this word sovereignty. The guest on today's show was by far one of my favorite stars from ABC's TV show The Bachelor. Madison Prewett shares how the ancient story of Esther is still relevant today and how some of those parallel lessons she’s adopted in her own life help her navigate her journey, such as: Decide who you want to be before you step into your Big Moments Claim your confidence so you can get out of the comparison game Break free from the labels others put on you As always, I love letting our guests know the impact that they're having. And so it would mean the world to me if you share the love. You can tag her @MadiPrew and @BiancaOlthoff and let us know what you're learning. Also share and leave a positive review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or whatever platform you listen to your podcast. We appreciate you. And can't wait to chat next week.

Friends, I love Thanksgiving! It's my favorite holiday. So today you have a chance to embrace gratitude and it is a way to get through this season with true JOY. But let's get real, who is responsible for your gratitude? It’s not your boss, your spouse, your kids, your pastor, or your friend. YOU are responsible for your gratitude. I’ve learned one definition of thankfulness that I love. It is: WANTING WHAT I HAVE. Thankful people want what they have. Let’s be content with what we have. Contentment is saying “I don't need it because I don't have it.” I have a loving Father who gets me every good thing that I need. I want you to join me and make this commitment this week and you can carry it through ‘till Christmas and onto the New Year: Every day make a list of at least six things for what you're grateful for Then two times during the day you share it with someone that you are thankful for I’m grateful for you, friends. You’ve made my list today and I’m sharing it with you. My hope and my prayer as we go into this holiday season is that you are content with what God has given you. Share this episode on social media and tag me @BiancaOlthoff. I can't wait to chat next week!

Hello friends! Fathers play a role in every child’s life that cannot be filled by others. This role can have a large impact on a child and help shape them into the person they become. On today’s show, we have Stephen Kendrick, writer, producer, and director of popular films like Fireproof, Courageous, War Room, and Overcomer to discuss the recent documentary on fatherhood entitled SHOW ME THE FATHER. This documentary weaves four real-life fathering stories, providing an inspiring and hope-filled reminder of the importance of fathers in families and society. Friends, I know the topic of fatherhood might be hard for some to digest. So thank you for listening. My heart in doing this interview is that even if you don’t have a father present in your life, you might come to know your heavenly Father who loves you, fights for you, and adores you. If you enjoyed the episode, consider sharing it with your friends or leaving a positive review. This helps the podcast get into more ears and hearts around the world. Sending you so much love, friends! Can’t wait to catch you on next week’s episode. 🖤 B RESOURCES: SHOW ME THE FATHER Movie - https://www.showmethefathermovie.com/ SHOW ME THE FATHER/COURAGEOUS LEGACY (Available on Digital and DVD on December 7th) (Church licenses available November 17) --- This episode is sponsored by Simply Earth • Have fun making your home toxin free with Simply Earth’s Essential Oil Recipe Box!
