She Speaks Life - Christian Women, Strengthen Your Faith, Bible Study, Grow Spiritually In Christ

Today, I have author Melissa Johnson of Soul Deep Beauty: Fighting for Our True Worth in a World Demanding Flawless. Melissa is also the founder of Impossible Beauty, a blog and podcast dedicated to redefining beauty as “The life of God at work in us and among us.” She is a marriage and family therapist who has her own story of how God broke her free from the lies of a poor self-image to know her true worth in God. She talks about why we buy into the corrupt beauty standards that our culture pushes and how to be aware of how the beauty industry promotes insecurities among women. It was, for sure, an eye-opener for me as I will look at beauty advertising through a whole new lens! https://www.impossible-beauty.com/souldeep-beauty-book https://www.impossible-beauty.com/ CONNECT WITH JAYME ON SOCIALS: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠ l⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠ l ⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠ l ⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠JaymeElizabeth.com

We may have distractions keeping us from living to our full potential! Author Katie Westenberg of "But Then She Remembered" shares the cost of being distracted and what we lose when we get comfortable living a life full of distraction. She talks about the difference between interruption and distraction, how distraction relates to perfectionism, how to live in the moment, and how to prepare and overcome distractions when they arise. By the end of this episode, you'll be able to identify your distraction and take heed of the value in what's eternal—remembering that God's Word keeps us from living in a distracting world.

New Look. New Season. Same Great Stories of Faith! Have you ever thought about the broken places in our lives being made beautiful by God? To kick off this new season, I have double the fun with Brittany Maher and Cassandra Speer. They are the founders of a huge global online community called Her True Worth that encourages women to know their identity and validation comes from Christ and Christ alone. Britt and Cass are the authors of Her True Worth, and There's Beauty in Your Brokenness, in which we talk about popular topics such as self-image, not feeling good enough, the red-flag warnings of affirmation addiction, and how to break free from the affirmation culture we see today. We chat about God's grace and love for us regarding past mistakes and how to trust His plan even when it's difficult to understand. I give a full disclosure in the beginning of our chat, I mean I don't think a podcast host would be so vulnerable?! Haha! Let's just say it mismatches and it includes a draw string..Lol! And listen to the very end, you won't want to miss it!

Does it feel like you're constantly struggling with worry? Worrying comes when we rely on ourselves to control the situation and not give it over to God. When we do this, the uncertainty of the future causes us to worry, disrupting our hope and peace. But the best part is that we belong to a God who is always in control, and we don't have to live in worry because He gives us the power to overcome it! Keri Eichberger is the author of Win over Worry: Conquer What Shakes You and Soar With The One Who Overcomes. She shares her story of battling worry and how she unlearned the unhealthy patterns that produce worry. We talk about identifying worry, uprooting worry, releasing control, and using our God-given warrior weapons to banish the enemy of worry. Worrying is a pointless attempt to control the uncontrollable, and thank goodness we have God's sovereignty over every detail of our lives! Pre-Order Win Over Worry!

Have you thought about sharing your story but needed help with its why, what, when, and how? Author Kate Motaung of Share Your Story: The Transforming Power of Telling Others What God Has Done discusses why sharing is important and how we can begin. She dives into how nothing is too small or too big to be a voice to help others know God is for them. If you've been listening to this show for awhile than you know stories matter! Revelation 12:11 (paraphrased) We have triumphed over the enemy by the blood of Jesus and by the word of our testimony that we didn't love our life so much that we shrunk back or were afraid to proclaim Jesus is the only Way, Truth, and Life.

Hollen Frazier is the president of All God's Children International, which places orphans into loving foster and adoptive families in the US and abroad. They prepare aging-out orphans to thrive outside of an institution through education and mentorship.

Spoiler alert! Life is not all about us. We were made for His purpose, motivated to serve others because of what Jesus has done for us. I love talking about this with Mischelle Manis, founder of Reaching Souls International.
