This is what my message prep looks like today. I’m speaking Sunday as part of the Kingdom Living series and I get to speak on Living from a Kingdom Mindset. I can’t wait to share the message God gives me. Also I can’t until He gives me some clarity for it. 😂 Right now it’s a lot of scribbles that aren’t making a ton of sense. The Bible has a LOT to say about our minds and pulling out what God wants people to receive in the 30-35 minutes is harder than if I had 2 hours! #messageprep #setyourmindonthingsabove #thepastorwifelife #pastorwifelife #pastorswife #iloveministry

I know. It's not Resurrection Sunday. But my discipleship group finished up the Gospel of Mark today and this verse always makes me want to shout! Death could not hold Him. And so death cannot hold me. The enemy was defeated. And so I walk in victory. He lives. And so I have abundant life. #proclaimthegoodnews #speaklife

#latestepisode Emily Fox (@eghfox) is a youth pastor’s wife who comes from a pastoral family. She and her husband Kody pastor in a small town in Kentucky. A few weeks ago I had the joy of meeting Emily in real life. She only lives about 2 hours away so we met in the middle and enjoyed a FIVE HOUR lunch together at the cutest cafe! You’re going to love her sweet spirit and love for God and people! #linkinbio #thepastorwifelife #pastorswife #pastorwifelife #latestepisode #podcast #youthministry #ministrywives #lifeinthefishbowl

Discipleship. It’s been on my heart for several years to develop a discipleship plan for the women of our church.
-
The vision of our church is to see the lost become found, the found become free, the free become faithful, and the faithful become fulfilled.
-
Every believer needs to be discipled so that she or he can disciple others.
-
We have been strategizing how best to do this in our particular church culture and we have come up with a year-long plan to create disciples who disciple.
-
Tonight I started writing out what it looks like for us. What a privilege it is to guide women into a deeper relationship with God! To help them grasp for themselves the truth of who He is and what it means for them. To encourage them to lead lives that honor God and draw others to Him.
-
And at the same time it’s overwhelming. What a responsibility! So many broken lives. So many hearts that have been wounded and hardened.
-
I just want people to fall in love with Jesus. To have a passion for His presence. To walk in the authority and power that is their birthright and inheritance. To glorify Him and light up the darkness so that others will see His glory and be drawn into a relationship with Him.
-
So tonight I sit here and prayerfully begin writing down ideas and listening for His voice. Holy Spirit, speak! Guide me and direct me. Let it be Your words that flow across these pages.
-
Whatever I do in word or deed, let it be done through the revelation that flows out of being in Your presence. (Colossians 3:17) In Jesus’ name. Amen.

When I look in the mirror I see a middle-aged woman who is pretty ordinary. My hair is greying. My wrinkles are multiplying. Along with my chins and other rolls. I don't possess any particularly amazing talents. I'm just an ordinary woman.⠀
-⠀
This quote from @LaraCasey is such a great reminder that my ability to fulfill the purpose of God in my life has nothing to do with the world's qualifications. It has nothing to do with grand and glorious exploits.⠀
-⠀
Jesus' life was one of humility and willingness. Because of His choice to give up His title and come to earth to "live as a servant, taking on the likeness of men" and His willingness to be "obedient to the point of death-even to death on a cross", I am able to experience all that God has for me.⠀
-⠀
Walking humbly is hard. My pride fights against it on the daily. The enemy constantly whispers words to feed my flesh. Humility doesn't come easily in this world. It takes sacrifice and a continual renewing of the mind.⠀
-⠀
Willingness to obey the Word, comes at a high price in this be counter-cultural world that doesn't embrace Kingdom values. It means giving up so much of what my flesh wants to hold onto.⠀
-⠀
But in humility and willingness, my spirit thrives. I am able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit guiding me - in my thoughts, my words, my actions - and I experience the abundant life that He has for me. I find purpose. I become a part of what He is doing in this broken world.⠀
-⠀
Lord, reveal the areas of pride that keep me from walking humbly. Let me recognize the lies of the enemy that keep me focused on myself and let me be saturated with the truth of who You are. Make my heart to be willing to follow You in all I think and say and do.
