Courageous Radiance

She’s Bossy-Heart Makeover

Thanks for listening! I’m so glad you are here! You can also read and check out this and more content on the blog courageousradiance.comPlease subscribe and join this tribe of other awesome women pursuing their anchor! Our boss swag will either come from our self-reliance boast or our humble heart posture for a Sovereign God. As God peels away the layers that He has to remove for holy gain, the end product is a pursuit of holiness. Our hearts are wicked in its sin nature. In order to grow into the person that God believes we can become, we have to be willing to forsake everything. In Mark 10:17-22, we read a passage of a man that shares our sentiments. Will we be mimic his choice, or will we pay the cost for a greater reward?This week remaining and weekend, can you press into some time with God and get it on your to do. Also, what are you reading/studying right now? Connect with me on IG @courageousradiance and the blog! I’d love to hear what the Holy Spirit is doing and working out within you. 💜

She’s Bossy-Inside First

Matthew 23:25-27Real, lasting and life giving change requires an “inside then outside” approach. Jesus not only encourages this, He is pleased by it, and He ridicules those who take shortcuts.We are not affective in our spheres of influence, nor will we be able to maximize ourselves if we do not follow the edict of Christ. By championing within, we can champion the areas of our lives and the people that are touched by us. Greatness costs, legacy making stretches our boundaries of comfort. The cost is simply to live surrendered & under the internal microscope of the Holy Spirit.Is greatness intriguing? Do you desire to embark on your full potential? Well…scoot up friends…Jesus has a roadmap for you to experience this, but it requires some looking and cleaning within. Thanks for listening! 💜Please subscribe and share!

Winning Influence

Who is you greatest influence? What about them is influential to you? I have a few key influences, but one supersedes them all; His name is Jesus! I am so grateful for those I follow for the greatness that they equip me with and their investing value in my life. Jesus, not only influences me, but He changed the trajectory of EVERY generation after Him! Isn’t it amazing that we get to have this constant drip of knowledge and power into us?!

God is For You

1 Corinthians 13:4-5Love is in the air this week as we celebrated Valentine’s Day. I wonder if everyone feels loved. I think about those that feel less than loved, and don’t even feel as if anyone is “for” them.The standard of love is subjective. The basis by which we spring board into other friendships and relationships is centered from our oneness with God. Our ability to accept and believe that God is for us, loves us, and is our protective Father aids our thriving and flourishing. Thank you for listening friend 💜 I pray that you bask and roll around in this love of our Father, it’s quite amazing!!

Psalm 119-Uninterrupted Transformation (Day 21)

We are wrapping up the last day reading Psalm 119! As we piece together the array of themes and assess what take away from Psalm 119, what are your overall prune places? What are areas for growth? Anything that you are awe about?This psalmist has greatly inspired me to continue to show up for my audience of one, who is God, and not just read all this truth He has provided without being a faithful doer of it. Thanks for listening! I pray that you are being transformed greatly as you dig into this Word and get anchored. 💜

Psalm 119-Uninterrupted Why (Day 20)

Day 20 ladies!! Let’s go! We have been absorbing and possibly even applying, I pray, all the amazing instruction that has been found in God’s Word within these stanzas. Now, what is your unique “why” for the buy in that fuels your commitment to your relationship with Christ? The things we check off on our boxes as to applaud ourselves and confirm our self-righteousness may be beneficial and purposeful, but without the why we will compromise when there is adversity and life inconveniences. In Mark 10, Jesus talks with a guy who was the back then version of us today. He wanted Jesus’s stamp of approval, because of his sacrifices to the Lord. Jesus was compassionate and loving, but Jesus pointed out one area that is being hidden from Him. Rather than apologizing and immediately obeying, this rich ruler grieves for what Jesus requires him to give up. Jesus’s costs were too high. So, he abandoned all the “righteous” living he had done prior because this guys “why” was self-focused and self-actualizing rather than having a Christ surrendered “why.” What’s your why friends? Thanks for listening!💜

Psalm119-Uninterrupted Grace (Day 19)

Hey you! Thanks for listening and I pray you are subscribed to the podcast, if not, will you join so that you will be a part of the equipping process that happens on this podcast. Over the last almost 3 weeks, we have been reading in Psalm 119 and it has been an amazing experience. Today, we are down to day 19! Grace, grace, oh my Jesus your grace!! It is so sufficient and it covers a multitude of sins, and it also protects me from both my own foolishness and that of others.I am so grateful that we serve a God that is committed to us! Aren’t you?! Whether He causes or allows the day to day situations, the reality is that He controls them all and it is all because of His grace that we exist. Thanks for listening!💜

Psalm 119-Uninterrupted Truth (Day 18)

Welcome friends! Thanks for listening! Have you subscribed? It would be a great honor if you would both subscribe and share this to someone you know that needs encouragement in Gods Word. I am grateful for you and your joining. We are nearly done peeling away at Psalm 119. Today, we read verses 137- 144. Gods Word, or the Bible has hit every verse so far within this Psalm 119! If not worded as such, it’s a synonym of it, from decrees to instructions. This psalmist is imploring us to not separate the character of God from His Word. We can trust Him and grow as we store His word in our heart (Psalm 119:11.)💜

Psalm 119-Uninterrupted Aligning & Disrupting Sin (Day 17)

Day 17! Can you believe we are nearly finished with these 176 verses. Thanks for joining the podcast, you are so welcome! We are reading through Psalm 119, walking in His ways. God’s Word pierces our hearts for the purpose of purification of our intentions and motives. The Holy Spirit reveals how we miss the mark and how to get back in alignment with Him. I vow to walk in alignment! I desire to expose the foulness of my sin, both great and small so that I do not loss adherence to Him. If we allow Him to guide and instruct us, we will radiate His glory and remain faithful to His truth. This is so inspiring!! Thanks for listening 💜
