Divine Thoughts is my favorite space on this site – it is where I get to take off my coaching hat and step into the role of teacher and mentor. It’s here were I get to share different thoughts, insights and lessons learned from my own journey and truly speak heart to heart with you.
I also love this space because I know that many cannot afford Coaching at this time, but would love to take steps toward their God given calling and purpose. It is my hope that the information shared through my videos and blogs will allow you to do that – whether you can hire me or not. My passion is to help as many people as I can – and I am thrilled you are here, even if we never have the opportunity to meet.
According to Matthew’s account, when Jesus first met Peter (then Simon) and his brother Andrew, he simply said: “Come, follow me and I will show you how to fish for people!” (Matthew 4:19) Peter and Andrew were fisherman and this invitation to “fish” for men would be one that would speak to them personally. The Challenge: Take a deep breath, close your eyes and ask
Hi Everyone! It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a challenge, but this weekend the Lord gave me a fresh direction on this next set of activations. Our challenges (also called activations) to date, have been focused on our identity as the “Bride of Christ” – a reality that is hard for some to grasp. Our identity is intended to evolve as your relationship
Are you ready to dig deeper into Ezekiel 16:10 – 13? This week’s challenge will focus on the second half of Ezekiel 16:13 and specifically the food that is given to you as His bride: …Your food was flour, honey and olive oil. Challenge Question: Imagine yourself sitting at a banquet table. You are now dressed in the fine linen and leather shoes (Ezekiel 16:10,
Keeping in our February theme of our role as the Bride of Christ and using Old Testament imagery from Ezekiel 16 (see week 5), here’s your challenge for the week: Ezekiel 16:11 I gave you jewelry. I put bracelets on your wrists and a necklace around your neck. QUESTION: Ask Him to show you what type of gemstones He has placed in your bracelets and
Ezekiel 16:10 I put an embroidered dress on you and fine leather sandals on your feet. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with silk. As always, quiet your mind, ask the Lord to come and speak with you. The question for Him: “Lord, will you show me the beautiful dress and shoes that you have chosen for me?” Note – I encourage
In honor of this being the month of “love” – we are going to focus on one specific passage of scripture, breaking it apart piece by piece. In context, Ezekiel 16:10 – 13 is a passage of scripture where God is reminding the people of Israel who they were to Him before they rebelled and rejected Him. This may seem an odd passage to choose,
Ephesians 3:8 Though I (the Apostle Paul) am the least deserving of all God’s people, He graciously gave me the privilege of telling the Gentiles about the endless treasure available to them in Christ. This verse says that as a Christian, you have “endless treasures” available to you. Here’s your challenge… Imagine yourself standing before an open treasure chest. The chest is made of gold
Jeremiah 31:12(b) “Their life will be like a watered garden, and all their sorrows will be gone.” As always… take a few deep breaths, ask the Lord to give you ears to hear and ask Him: “Lord, what type of flowers have you planted in my garden? Will you show me one in particular that is your favorite or reminds you of me?” Don’t forget
Zephaniah 3:17 For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love He will calm your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful song. There is so much in this verse that I love and can marinade in… but today’s challenge is to focus on the last sentence. Ask
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) “For we are God’s MASTERPIECE. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Everyone of us is uniquely created by the master artisan Himself (also see Psalm 139:13-18). Take a deep breath, quiet your mind and invite the Lord to speak to you. Ask Him: “God, what kind of
I want to add my thoughts on fear to the conversations I am seeing on the subject. Fear has been one of the “giants” that I have been battling for years and a topic I understand all too well.
We are undoubtedly in uncertain and changing times. And I know there are many of you reading this that have been forced into a season you didn’t ask for. Maybe you’ve recently lost your job, saw your savings accounts dwindle to nothing, or maybe you’re going through the breakup of a relationship you hoped would last forever.
The most obvious comparison is the athlete/coaching relationship. Regardless if a person plays in intermural or local sports, competes in the Olympics or plays a sport professionally, every athlete understands the importance of sound coaching. It isn’t about whether you as the player are good or bad – it’s about building and strengthening what is already there to be even better than you already are!
First, before I get into “how” I coach, let’s talk about when you would hire me over a therapist. There is a lot of confusion out there, so let me see if I can make this painless for you. Though there might be some overlaps in certain areas, I answer this question based on two things: why you are seeking someone’s help and what you
