The Race To Better

Today's episode is a conversation about endurance. Faith is a marathon, and we are all running our own races. Hebrews 12:1 reminds us to throw off the weights that hinder us, and run with perseverance the race fixed for us. It may not be easy to go through the hard things of life, but it's in those hard days that our oil is produced. And what waits for you at the finish line? SpOILer alert: a victorious, new you!!
 
Key Takeaways:
It may not feel like it, but even the suffering we go through is working for our good.
When you share your struggles, be careful who you share them with.
Even in the fire, Jesus is with us. And when we come out, there will be no residue.
If it doesn't challenge you, it won't change you!
If you're going to win the marathon of life, you have to pace yourself. Don't rush the process!
Even when the time to give up feels right, DON'T DO IT.

It's Time to Shift Your Focus

Good morning Oilies! Today's episode is a message from Heaven. 
Recently, I've been dreaming very consistent, prophetic dreams. A change is coming, and God is preparing His people for it. So this morning, He woke me up with the words "Shift your focus." 
You have a gift. You are chosen to do something designed specifically for you, by God. You are equipped to do it, and now is the time to stir up the gift, make room, and DO what God is calling you to do. 
Put aside the distractions. Turn inward, and seek God. He's calling us in this season and preparing us for kingdom work. I have enough faith to know that I want to be apart of all God is doing. How about you? 
What is God pulling on you to do? Where's your heart? It's time for you to shift your focus!
Leave a review, chat with me, and let's release our oil together!

You are the ceiling...

Hi Friends! It's Ashanti! I'm back with a mini-sode for you!
Recently,  I hit a ceiling in my podcast. It wasn't until a good friend reached out to me that I realized I am the ceiling. I am the one in my own way. Call it imposter syndrome, self-doubt, procrastination station, or whatever you want, it all boils down to M-E. 
And that could be the same for Y-O-U.
But not anymore! We have no choice. To get to better, we've got to get past ourselves.  And that's what we are doing today. Choose to do the thing you are holding yourself back from. Do it tired. Do it afraid. Do it uncertain. Do it imperfectly. Just do it!  
And watch the Oil that flows from it. :) 
Enjoy! Leave a review and let's chat! What's holding you back? How are you going to get through?
