Episode #278 – Make Your Move: Finding Unshakable Confidence Despite Your Fears and Failures

Make Your Move: Finding Unshakable Confidence Despite Your Fears and Failures

In this six-session Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), author and Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker Lynn Cowell explores how confidence-in-question keeps us from boldly experiencing what God intends for our lives. Dive into six stories in the Bible of not-so-well-known women who found themselves needing confidence to make their move, and how they uncovered the faith to get it. Lynn encourages women to leave behind all the unnecessary insecurity this world induces and find confidence in God alone.

Learn from the Daughters of Zelophehad, the Women of Exodus, the Sisters of Bethany, Rahab, Debora, Abigail and Michal how to:

  • Intentionally build your confidence on the one thing that cannot be taken from you.
  • Recover from defeating decisions to move forward toward a strong self-worth.
  • Position yourself to not lose your poise—even in the worst circumstances.
  • Identify and address the fears that keep you stuck, with practical steps to walk in your calling with confidence.

This study is for any woman who’s ready to dig into God’s Word to find confidence and boldness to do great things. This book includes personal Bible study as well as group discussion questions. The study can be completed by individuals as well as in groups.

Designed for use with the companion Make Your Move Video Study (sold separately).

** This is a re-run of this episode because we wanted to share this now that Lynn’s book is actually available. It’s an episode full of rich truths we need to be reminded of. Enjoy!

Are you afraid to make a move? Do you feel held back? Sometimes we can be the greatest force of holding ourselves back in life. But we can learn how to find confidence when our minds have already defeated us.

Listen in as Kathi interviews Lynn Cowell and they discuss the concepts in her new book, Make Your Move ~ Finding Unshakable Confidence Despite Your Fears And Failures. Join in the conversation and be inspired to make your move from a place of paralyzing fear to an unshakable confidence in God’s promises.

**BONUS** Leave an answer in the comments section: “What would I be doing if I was not afraid?” and we will randomly pick three people in this next week to get a free copy of Lynn Cowell’s book.

Eps #272 Stolen Jesus with Author Jami Amerine

Stolen Jesus

If you’ve ever felt confused by the conflicting representations of Jesus you’ve encountered in the world, you’re invited to join Jami Amerine’s quest to release all the wrong ideas and get to know your Savior as He really is—bewildering grace and all.

Ever feel like God is punishing you when life is hard? If so, maybe Jesus has been stolen from you. Somewhere along the way we can forget that our God is good and not standing over us ready to punish us if we have a misstep. This is not the way we want to live friends. This isn’t freedom in Christ!

If you feel like you have lost an understanding of Who Jesus is, Come and find Him again as Kathi Lipp and Jami Amerine discuss Jami’s book, Stolen Jesus.

Eps 264 Clutter Free Morning: Can I Actually Have Quiet Time

Building off the success of her The Get Yourself Organized Project, this book will provide even more ideas for getting your life and your stuff under control.

While quiet times are so specific to each person, and don’t necessarily have to happen in the mornings, it is a great way to start the day and get minds and hearts ready for the day. Kathi began really finding her heart more aligned with God by having her quiet time as part of her calendar each morning without fail.

Kathi gives us several encouraging tips on how to make quiet time a real thing no matter what stage in life you are in and how many people you have under foot each day.
