Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

God is our Redeemer. He Redeems us from our most broken places and sets us high upon the rock. So what does that look like when he takes even a broken and distorted childhood and blesses you and hundreds and hundreds of others though it? It looks like Brooke Robinson's story. Brooke is the founder of BTribalFit, a community of women who support each other in online workouts and accountability.  Show Notes: https://kindledpodcast.com/2019/06/10/when-god-redeems-our-broken-places-brooke-robinson-ep-66/

Motherhood is full of changing seasons. Things we used to rely on for sanity, strength, identity and purpose get ripped from our tightly gripped fingers by the grace of God. We are early in a pregnancy and can no longer work out the way we used to. Our time is not our own and meal planning the healthy choices we used to delight in has become a burden. We are overwhelmed by a difficult season or circumstance our child is going through, and life starts to feel all but under control.

Today I'm so excited to share an interview with a woman I look up to so much, Cheryl Scruggs. Cheryl and her husband Jeff have a nonprofit called Hope for Marriages where they support couples in reconciling their marriages and they also co-wrote “I Do Again.” Cheryl and Jeff spent 10 together in a disappointing marriage, only to get divorced and stay separated for 7 years. Theirs is one of unbelievable reconciliation is only possible with a God like ours. Show notes at www.kindledpodcast.com

I got chills listening to this episode after it was recorded.  Michelle brings the TRUTH to us today through admonition to follow our one leader rather than being obsessed with becoming leaders. How we need to also be taught before teaching.  She is the founder of She Works His Way, an organization that helps women learn in their life and work how to give God the glory & make Jesus our hero.

In a culture that can belittle womanhood on the one hand—making it irrelevant—and glorify it on the other—making it everything—it’s hard to know what it really means to be a woman. But when we understand womanhood through the lens of Scripture, we see that we need a bigger category for what God has called “woman.” Abigail Dodds brings beautiful and freeing truth to us straight from God's word to us today regarding our being women created in the image of God.

This episode is for those of us that tend to fall into the ditches of apathy and anxiety on the road to lasting and sustainable wholesome living. Maybe I'm just talking to myself here, but for me, the struggle is real. Often times we as mamas struggle with a balance between apathy and anxiety when it comes to our health. Bethany helps women discover what it means to live a life centered in rest and how that can affect all areas of our health, family and business/service to others.

This episode is the KICK in your faith/business pants you've been needing! Listen in as we chat about how she has the audacity to charge what she's worth, how she grew from a service business to a 6-revenue stream business that helped her husband retire from his corporate job and how she's continuing to be a "Yes Girl" for God. She's a powerhouse of energy and business know-how and I learned so much from this SINGLE conversation with her!  You DO NOT want to miss this one, gals.

With instagram, facebook and Twitter in our fingertips, we both find ourselves having influence and receiving influence from all manner of individuals who believe all manner of things.  Slap the label "Christian" and the words "Jesus" up next to what is posted and said and shared, and you have a recipe for either total awesomeness or total disaster. How are you discerning what you are consuming online? This episode is about the ultimate, final and only authority of Scripture to tell us what is true.

The economy of God and grace is upside-down and backwards, and that's pretty much what I'm talking about in this episode with three ladies, known as "The Ruth Experience." We chat about how living generously actually doesn't empty us when we stand on the promises of God to be for us everything we need.

What if parenting wasn't just an opportunity to course correct or provide behavior modification? What if it was a chance to mirror the gospel by acting to save someone from error or evil. That is the meaning of "Redemptive" and it is actually the model Christ calls us to as parents.  Kristen will challenge you and help you see all the opportunities you have to teach a different - and more important - lesson, when you parent out of weakness rather than strength.
