People Pleasing is Not a Flex

Okay friends, how many of you proudly wear the badge of being a people pleaser? Maybe you take pride in the fact that you put others before yourself and feel good about your selflessness. Or perhaps you're on the other side of this: you know your tendency to push down your truth in order to appease others and now you have some resentments about it. Today on the show, Barbara is talking to Kori Strobl, a self leadership coach who's worked with countless others to reclaim their true identities and self worth. With a Masters degree in Spiritual Psychology and over two decades of deep work in this space, she has more than a few gems that we can all take from today's episode. Tune in and share with a friend!

Barbara Guillen is a teacher, writer, and business owner. She is on a mission to help others live a life of meaning, purpose, and empowerment. In order to know who we are, we must first know WHOSE we are. When we are clear on our identity, we can achieve the unthinkable! 

If you are on a mission to live a better life by being the best version of you OR you want to know more about what GOD has to say about your life and your purpose, then this is your place. We’re keeping it really real around here about what it takes to live an intentional life full of meaning, purpose, and faith. We’re digging into God’s word so that we can be filled with the TRUTH and PROMISE that he has for each of us. Let’s get into it. 

Sowing Seeds and Reaping a Harvest

Some of the best fruit is only the best because the farmers who plowed the seed took it serious. They didn't simply drop seeds in the ground and leave it to survive on its own. No. Instead, they carefully and thoughtfully planted seed in good soil where they knew it would be best nurtured. They tended to it over time with water and care, fully expecting that when the time was right, they would see the fruit of their harvest. This is the way it is with all things. If we want to see a harvest in our lives, we must sow good seed. Tune in to today's podcast and hear more about what this looks like for us. Barbara offers practical advice and encouragement as a reminder that those who stay connected to God's word and follow it with action and obedience will indeed see a harvest. Let's go!

The Spiritual Impact of Money

Did you know the bible has over 2,000 verses on money? Why so much talk on this topic? Knowing the human spirit, God wanted to leave us with plenty of instruction and guidance on how we should approach it. He knew many people would fall into bad habits and wicked desire surrounding money and He wanted us to have clear scripture. In today's episode, Barbara is sharing 8 Spiritual principles that will shift the way we see and treat our finances. God's intent was never for his children to be enslaved by debt OR to hoard and keep what He has given us all to ourselves. Instead, he calls us to be generous givers, stewards, and managers. When we align with his principles, we have greater influence that has eternal consequences. Tune in and share today's episode with a friend!

WWJT? What Would Jesus Think?

WWJT? No friends, that is not a typo. Before we can ponder how Jesus might respond to any situation, we first must consider what He would think. If Jesus is who we know Him to be, then we know his actions stem from a place of love, mercy, righteousness, and ultimately obedience to the Father. If you are ready to enjoy a more peaceful and joy-filled life, this is a practice you're going to want to begin today! Tune in and share this episode with a friend.

Faithful Surrender- Give it to God

Nobody likes to surrender. Many people look at surrender as a failure, weakness, and ultimately a loss. But in order for God to carry out His magnificent plan for our lives, faithful surrender is a must. Shortly before his crucifixion, even Jesus surrendered to the will of God. If Jesus did it, shouldn't we follow suit? Tune in to today's episode as Barbara walks us through the blessing of a surrendered heart when done in faith.
