The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. – II Corinthians 10:4

Influence. Like a warrior princess who knows that one day she’ll be needed for battle, this is what God’s been grooming you for since the day you were born. Purpose is about influence or nothing at all. Influence isn’t about reach or notoriety; it’s about impact. And it’s your impact that most frightens the enemy. Your gifts and your voice are what activate your superpowers. The more you step into your calling and embrace your anointing, the more it may feel as if you’re under attack. Read More »

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you” – John 15:16

As women, we have an up-and-down roller coaster-like relationship with the word “leadership“. On one hand, we’re supposed to be submissive and supportive. We learn much about surrender but less about stepping up. We want to expand the kingdom, but we don’t want to step out of place. We want to be a good wife, a pleasing daughter, and a wonderful mother, but we’re afraid to admit that our hearts crave something more. And therein lies a holy tension.Read More »

For we are the product of His hand, heaven’s poetry etched on lives, created in the Anointed, Jesus, to accomplish the good works God arranged long ago. – Ephesians 2:10

Purpose is why God needs you and how God made you. Calling is where God is sending you. So the true essence of “purpose” is more personality-oriented (how God made you), whereas “calling” is more a path and place of assignment. You are the way you are for a reason. I know the little voice in your head keeps whispering that something is wrong with you … that you’re too flawed, quirky, broken, and in need of repair or more development, but that’s simply not true.Read More »

Now, I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. – Philippians 1:12

Remember, your voice is your greatest supernatural endowment. You are the carrier of a unique message from heaven that only your life experiences and ability can convey. No one else has lived your life, muddle through your messes, and made it this moment the way you have. Your story is a one-of-kind key that unlocks possibility in others. And that’s why your ultimate life’s mission is about improving the lives of others by teaching what we’ve learned along the way.Read More »

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth – Psalm 33:6

Part of understanding your divine identity is understanding who God is and how you’re made in His image. We don’t know what God physically looks like, but we do know what He sounds like. Think about how this all started: God spoke and said, “Let there be light’; and there was light” (Genesis 1:3 NKJV). God is Father. God is Teacher. But I think we often forget how God is first and foremost Creator. Not a magician that snapped his fingers and said, “Give me some humans.” Read More »

I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. – Psalm 139:14

As hard as it may be to believe, what God is doing in the lives of others has absolutely nothing to do with what He is seeking to do in you! When we obsess about what others are doing, we make room for doubt to creep in: You’re not doing enough. You’re behind. It’s too late. You’re not as talented. Your life isn’t as pretty. You don’t have enough. You just aren’t enough. Read More »

That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. – 2 Corinthians 12:10

What if what we see as personal weaknesses were actually advantages? Society leads us to believe that perfection is what makes us worthy, but that’s a lie! Imperfection gives us the opportunity to grow and be made more and more like Christ. We also learn the power of supernatural reliance – us relying on God to do what only God can do, through us.Read More »

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. – Philippians 4:13

Our trust in God is not somehow separate from our belief in ourselves. To the contrary, divine trust and self-belief are linked together by the umbilical cord of purpose. We cannot fulfill our destiny merely with one or the other; we need both. Read More »

Let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren’t. – Romans 12:6-7

In a world filled with protocol, a never-ending list of dos and don’ts, and the pressure to be perfect, it can seen impossible to discover who you really are and what you’re here to be and do. I’ve always loved how the Scripture above gives us a direct glimpse into God’s game plan: be what you were made to be. Read More »
