Rooted & Established 

Do you remember where you were when you learned of the brutal terrorist attacks on 9/11? For Christina Ray Stanton, that day will forever be imprinted upon her heart and mind in a way that many of us could not even imagine. It is for that reason, I count it a privilege and honor to have Christina on the podcast during the 20th anniversary of 9/11.  Living only six blocks from the Twin Towers, Christina and her husband Brian, as well as their dog, felt and saw the attack first hand. Not only did they endure a harrowing escape from Manhattan by boat to New Jersey, they found themselves homeless and desperately in need of the kind of volunteerism and generosity in which they would have normally been on the other side.Christina's testimony of God's provisions and faithfulness will not only encourage you but also challenge you to see life from a new perspective. Her accounts of the kindness of strangers and friends alike, will inspire you to live more intentionally, compassionately, and courageously. Christina Ray Stanton is an award-winning author and licensed NYC tour guide, and has been featured in print and TV many times in her 25-year career. For a decade she worked as Redeemer Presbyterian's short-term missions director, and she is the founder of the nonprofit organization Loving All Nations (lovingallnations.org). She and her husband, Brian, still live within blocks of the World Trade Center.

Reflecting on God's Faithfulness

What matters more than love?Have you thought about that question, especially in light of your relationships? Maybe you find yourself more concerned with being right, or not being wrong, than you are with how love is impacting your relationship with God, others, and even yourself?Yes, it is possible to be more passionate about truth and being the "good girl" than it is about receiving and giving love the way God has laid out for us in the Scriptures.Not sure what I mean about that? Then join me for this episode of the More to Be Podcast for a thoughtful conversation with Jared Byas, author of Love Matters More. We explore the biblical call to love well without using truth as a weapon and consider how we can become aware of what is motivating our actions and hindering our ability to love God and others well.

Love Matters More 

Smiling through change and uncertainty is never easy. Wouldn't you agree? No matter what our age, the "what ifs" and the "how comes" never go away. It can be fear-inducing, emotionally overwhelming, and even crippling to face the unknown, especially when everything familiar seems to be falling apart.On the latest episode of the More to Be Podcast, I had the privilege of connecting with author Katy McCown about learning how to smile through fear. Now your story of growing through change and learning to find joy in the midst of struggle might not include moving across the country multiple times following your husband's NFL career, like Katy's does, but chances are you are familiar with starting fresh, building new relationships, getting comfortable in a new community, and the many emotions that come with.Change is inevitable and we are always going through new seasons in life. If you need encouragement on how to smile without fear for where you are right now or for where your life is going, then this podcast episode is for you.Helpful LinksKaty McCown and She Smiles Without Fear Bible StudyLearn More about Life CoachingJoin the SisterhoodIf you are blessed by our podcast and ministry, we invite you to become a Sisterhood Member as a way of supporting our work.

Now your story of growing through change and learning to find joy in the midst of struggle might not include moving across the country multiple times following your husband's NFL career, like Katy's does, but chances are you are familiar with starting fresh, building new relationships, getting comfortable in a new community, and the many emotions that come with. <h3>Change is inevitable and we are always going through new seasons in life. If you need encouragement on how to smile without fear for where you are right now or for where your life is going, then this podcast episode is for you.</h3> <h2>Helpful Links</h2><ul><li><a href="https://katymccown.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Katy McCown</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3lemX3N" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">She Smiles Without Fear Bible Study</a></li><li><a href="https://www.moretobe.com/life-coaching/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Learn More about Life Coaching</a></li></ul><h2> </h2><h2>Join the Sisterhood</h2>If you are blessed by our podcast and ministry, we invite you to <a href="https://moretobe.teachable.com/p/membership/?product_id=1737413&amp;coupon_code=POD2021&amp;preview=logged_out" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">become a Sisterhood Member</a> as a way of supporting our work.

Smile Without Fear

Pruning. It is a remarkable task that leads to growth, yet it is so hard to do. Wouldn't you agree?Recently, the Lord reminded me of the pruning I went through 12 years ago when He led me to shut down my blog and ministry dreams right when they were taking off. I was sitting in the middle of my rose garden, tending to a dozen bushes. The Lord said, “Lis, you can have lots of bushes with hardly any blooms or a few bushes with lots of blooms.” I tearfully obeyed and I am so glad because the blooms have been beautiful in the last decade.Ironically, I am in a different house now with one pathetic-looking rose bush that the pup keeps trying to steal petals off of on the way out to the yard. I can't help but see how this bush has been an annoying yet welcomed reminder of the timeless lesson of pruning. Yes, it is time for me to prune again, even though so much appears to be thriving, for the sake of the whole bush.Simply put, it is time for necessary endings and new beginnings in order to embrace whole-hearted breakthrough and authentic life transformation that results in aligning with God's best. Yes, this requires a mindset shift away from what the world values compared to what is required of us to steward our heart, mind, body, and soul needs in order to love the Lord, ourselves, and others well. What does this process look like in your life? Join me, and my treasured co-host and friend, Kalie Kelch, on this episode of the More to Be Podcast where we dive into John 15 as well as Joshua 3 and 4 to explore what God's work looks like in our everyday lives and how to join Him in it by faith.Helpful LinksNecessary Endings by Dr. Henry CloudCore Values AssessmentLearn about EMDR Learn More about Life CoachingJoin the SisterhoodIf you are blessed by our podcast and ministry, we invite you to become a Sisterhood Member as a way of supporting our work.

Necessary Endings, New Beginnings

LEAD

How often do we make our plans only to have them suddenly come crumbling down. But what if our crashing plans is part of God's purposes to direct us onto the path He has for us? Certainly that is one perspective if we look at our life through the lens of Proverbs 16:9, which states that "We can make our plans,  but the Lord determines our steps."Nothing could ring truer of this verse than Richard Stearns' life, which is truly a classic story of man's big plans being rerouted by God's bigger blessings.On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, I chat with Richard Stearns, President Emeritus of World Vision USA about the way God took him as young man determined to get into an Ivy League college and corporate success story to a man committed to Jesus, his wife, and twenty years of advocating for the orphaned, the widowed, the sick, and the hungry. His story will renew your hope in God's transforming work and fill you afresh with a sense of awe at how He works. Yes, my friend, God isn't done in our stories and has not quit working in the lives of those we deeply love.Richard Stearns currently serves as President Emeritus for World Vision U.S. after retiring at the end of 2018. He was the longest-serving president of World Vision. Stearns is the second of two children of working-class parents in Syracuse, New York. He worked his way through Cornell University, earning a bachelor’s degree in neurobiology in 1973. After receiving a master’s degree in business administration from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Stearns began a career in marketing for several Fortune 500 companies. In 1998, Stearns accepted the role of President at World Vision US. He has traveled to more than 40 of the nearly 100 countries where World Vision works. His wife Renee, a lawyer by training, also travels and speaks on behalf of World Vision. The couple has five children. In 2021 he published his latest book, Lead Like it Matters to God: Values-Driven Leadership in a Success-Driven World.Helpful LinksLead Like it Matters to God by Richard SternsLearn More about Life CoachingJoin the SisterhoodIf you are blessed by our podcast and ministry, we invite you to become a Sisterhood Member as a way of supporting our work.

#102: Be Transformed - Part 2

Don't you wish life would be a little less challenge?Maybe you're still looking for the easy button, thinking that if you pray hard enough, long enough, the load will lighten up.Or maybe you're ready to throw in the towel because endurance isn't your strong suit.On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, Kalie Kelch and I wrap up season 4 with a chat about enduring well in the midst of struggle and trials. It's a rather appropriate ending of not only this season but also this year for me personally, with the loss of my father-in-law just before Thanksgiving.Although we recorded this episode in the early fall, I only got around to editing it in early December at a time when I needed to hear the truths we spoke about . . . and I believe you may find the same is true for you.I can look back and see how God was preparing me for what was to come with a deeply embedded reminder of Romans 5 and a fresh perspective on how to face the hard times.I hope you have time to listen to our conversation as though you're sitting right with us and take courage to face your trials as part of becoming a woman who endures well. Scripture FocusRomans 5Continue to GrowLife Coach Training CourseAlign Life Strategy Coaching ProgramBiblical Mentor Training CourseListen &amp; Share EverywhereIf you’ve been blessed by this podcast, then we hope you’ll show your support by sharing it with your friends and family! We would also be so grateful for you to rate and review our podcast wherever you listen in your favorite app. Listen on iTunes, Stitcher, and Spotify.Become a Sisterhood MemberIf you are blessed by our podcast and ministry, we invite you to become a Sisterhood Member as a way of supporting our podcast and ministry.

How to Overcome the Fear of Failure

Is grumbling the tone of your heart and home?Maybe that's a habit you've inherited. Maybe it's one that has been triggered by life's trials.No matter what has caused the grumbling, you can make strides toward a grumble-free life and cultivate a new culture in your home.\On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, I'm joined by my friend, Tricia Goyer, who offers us such a fresh perspective on parenting through the grumbles with a new vision. You might have heard her on the podcast before as we chatted about anger. Tricia has plenty of real-life experience dealing with anger and the grumbles, as she is the homeschool mom of ten, a doting grandma, and wife to John. In her latest book, The Grumble-Free Year, Tricia invites us to experience the lessons learned through a twelve-month journey with her family to bring an end to grumbling.This episode is packed full of practical application, as I share what I've learned in my trauma-focused equine-assisted therapy course about the brain and offer you a new way to respond to grumpy and angry emotions in yourself and your kiddos. We also walk through the Scriptures, especially Mark 4, considering the Parable of the Sower . . . a.k.a. . . . mother. This episode will most definitely help think biblically and consider the transformation steps God is leading you to embrace in your life. Scripture FocusGalatians 5John 15Mark 4Philippians 14:2Continue to GrowTrauma-Focused Equined-Assisted CoachingThe Grumble-Free Year, by Tricia GoyerGet to know Tricia at https://www.triciagoyer.com/Emotionally Healthy Leadership by Peter ScazzeroLife Coach Training CourseLife Coaching for MomsBiblical Mentor Training CourseBecome a Sisterhood MemberIf you are blessed by our podcast and ministry, we invite you to become a Sisterhood Member!  You'll gain access to over $100 worth of resources!

We also walk through the Scriptures, especially Mark 4, considering the Parable of the Sower . . . a.k.a. . . . mother.

#202: Letting Go of Control

Jennifer Dukes Lee

On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, Elisa Pulliam is joined by fellow author and friend, Jennifer Dukes Lee, in the kick off for the Unblinded Faith Series, inspired by Elisa's newest devotional book, Unblinded Faith: Gaining Spiritual Sight Through Believing God's Word. Jennifer is the author of The Happiness Dare and Love Idol. She is a popular blogger, writer for Dayspring’s (in)courage, and a speaker at women’s conferences across the United States. Her words have been featured on numerous podcasts, radio programs, Proverbs 31 Ministries, Fox News Opinion, the Des Moines Register, and Today’s Christian Woman.A former news reporter for several Midwestern newspapers, Jennifer still loves to chase a great story. Nowadays, however, she prefers to write about the remarkably good news of Jesus Christ. She clings to the hope of the Cross and is passionate about sharing the gospel through story. She believes in miracles; she is one. She marvels at God’s unrelenting grace for people who mess up—stumbling sinners like her, who have been made whole through Christ.Jennifer and her husband live on the Lee family farm, where they raise crops, pigs, and two humans. She attends a small country church where some Sundays you’ll find her spinning tunes as the church deejay. She’s a big fan of dark chocolate, emojis, eighties music, bright lipstick, and Netflix binges. She wants to live life in such a way that you can’t help but want more of Jesus.In this episode, Be Happy, Jennifer shares the journey of how she discovered that happiness is actually a part of God's design for our lives. She and Elisa chat about the Parable of the Talents, found in Matthew 25:14-30, and her Happiness Style Assessment can help us embrace the way God designed us to experience happiness.HighlightsWriting about faith is how I make sense of the world around me. - JenniferIt is my nature to ask why, and I've come to accept that? - JenniferSilent doubts rarely find answers. - JenniferContinuing to move forward, confident that God's purposes will prevail. - ElisaMaking daily decisions with confidences in God's purposes . . . that's a life of unblinded faith. - ElisaWe are entrusted by God with this . . . life. - ElisaGod is kind and loving, wanting His children to be in the protection of His fold. - ElisaGod, show me who you really are! - ElisaHappiness is not the opposite of holiness. - JenniferWe need to take back happiness. - JenniferChallenge QuestionsGo take the Happiness Style Quiz to be affirmed in who you are!Take a few minutes to prayerfully consider how you're stewarding your talents. Are you willing to receive and steward what God has given you to the best of your abilities?Related ContentGet your copy of Unblinded Faith wherever books are sold. Don't forget to grab the companion journal when you order from Amazon.Curious about how the Highlands Ability Battery might be good for you?

#120: Be Tenderhearted, Part 1

Do you struggle with worry and anxious thoughts?Are you concerned that you might be headed for a clinical diagnosis, but don't really want to find out because you're afraid they might put you on medicine?Is your loved one in the battle of bullying back the debilitating lies anxiety wields their way each day? Do you worry that you're not doing the right thing to help them?You're not alone. Did you know that 44% of the women who responded to our More to Be survey confess they struggle with anxiety and worry and 45% are overwhelmed by their responsibilities?Which is why this episode of the More to Be Podcast is focusing entirely on the real truth about anxiety and practical ideas for battling anxiety.It is safe to say we’re not living out our faith in the day to day in the way we want it to manifest. Nearly half of our tribe is feeling trapped, overwhelmed, and anxious. And, here’s the scary statistic, sisters — it’s not reflective of just the millennials amongst us because our tribe is made of women primarily in their 40s and 50s. Somehow we’ve crossed the middle-aged mark but haven’t figured out how to live that fully abundant life filled with peace and joy God promises. So what gives? What hope is there for us to become anxious-free women who are fulfilled in their present life, especially so that we can model that for the next generation we’re impacting?I know, deep questions. So today we’re going to dive into practical steps for dealing with our anxiousness and worry.When I say practical, I don’t just mean read your Bible more and pray, but rather seek out professional help and engage your body in the stewardship of your mental health.The more we recognize what we can do to reduce our anxiety, the better prepared we’ll be able to help a generation struggling with anxiety and depression.

#302: Practical Ideas for Battling Anxiety

Are you as excited as we are about kicking off season three of the More to Be Podcast?What a moment to celebrate God's faithfulness and provision since beginning the podcast in January 2018. It's a privilege to serve you this way and we look forward to bringing you Scripture-steeped episodes to help you think biblically and live transformed. For Season 3, you can expect a new, 45 to 55-minute episode released every other week. We decided that in our busy lives, finding an extra hour to listen to an episode every week is pretty hard to do. However, if you're an every week kind of gal, we encourage you to go back to the beginning and re-listening to all the episodes as your time allows! Be sure to let us know how the Holy Spirit reveals to you something brand new! On this first episode of season 3, Kalie Kelch joins me again to chat about where we've been, where we're going, and how to live to brave together with each other . . . specifically, how we're using Brave Together as our study guide in the More to Be Tribe Facebook group this year. If you've not yet joined us, we'd love to have you jump on in here!In this episode, I also unpack the beautiful of biblical mentoring and fostering parakaleo relationships peer to peer and older to younger. We head back to Titus 2 for a refresher on mentoring as well as diving into the description of what church should look like in Acts 2 and then turn to Romans 12 unpack how to live out love with one another. This episode will cast a vision for how you can grow even more devoted to God and those He has perfectly placed in your life. Scripture FocusTitus 2Acts 2Romans 12Notable Links &amp; MentionsGrab the R.A.W.

#300:  Becoming Brave Together

Wendy Speake

Could you imagine spending 40 days fasting from sugar while feasting on Jesus?Maybe you've never fasted before.Maybe feasting on Jesus sounds a little weird.Maybe you're not sure that you can say no to sugar much less anything else that has a stronghold over you.Well, sister, you're not alone. That's where I was 365 days ago. But God allowed me to get so desperate with my health in order to discover an area of my heart that needed grave attention. In July 2018, I dove into a Whole30 journey to get to the root cause of my health issues, only to discover that behind the health was a heart desperately in need of attention. I was addicted to sugar and comfort food was my idol of security. As the truth burst forth, I knew there was no going back.Six months later, I'm not only 25 pounds lighter, but I'm also spiritually and emotionally freer -- and that by-product is worth the journey. My sugar dragon still wants to dominate, but in Christ, I've found the power to say no. I've found the strength and motivation to say no.I've found freedom in Christ that I never tasted before. No pun intended.The invitation stands before you, my friend to embrace freedom too. Come join me on the 40-day Sugar Fast led by author, speaker, and this episode's special guest, Wendy Speake, which kicks off on January 7, 2019. Even if you don't believe sugar is your issue, I urge you to join in this season of discovering how to feast more on Jesus and less on everything else. Wendy has prepared for you a soul-deep journey through God's Word and a community steeped in authenticity and accountability. I'm grateful to be on the leadership team this year and experience my first sugar fast with Wendy.On this episode, Wendy and I chat about what fasting is and is not, what causes hangups in our fasting endeavors, and how to break strongholds through fasting. Wendy is a grace-filled guide filled with holy boldness. You'll not want to miss out on this opportunity and you'll want to bookmark it for future reference. It is that good, especially for those us of who need to learn and practice fasting as a spiritual discipline. I pray you'll be as blessed as I am to sit under Wendy's teaching.

Wendy is a grace-filled guide filled with holy boldness. You'll not want to miss out on this opportunity and you'll want to bookmark it for future reference. It is that good, especially for those us of who need to learn and practice fasting as a spiritual discipline. I pray you'll be as blessed as I am to sit under Wendy's teaching. <h2>Scripture Focus</h2><ul><li>Jeremiah 2:13</li><li>Psalm 139:13</li><li>Psalm 90</li></ul><h2>Notable Links &amp; Mentions</h2><ul><li>Grab the <a href="https://www.moretobe.com/product/scripture-study-method/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">R.A.W.

Strategies for Avoiding Burnout, Part 2 

Do you feel like trusting God, especially when you feel totally out of control, is even harder than when life is normal and expected?What about in the face of fear, especially after a trauma or unexpected trial?If you find yourself tempted to take matters in your own hand and push God aside, especially when it comes to trusting God with your kids, then this episode is for you.On this episode of the More to Be Podcast, I'm joined by Shelly Wildman, a mom to three adult daughters and a writer and speaker from her home in Wheaton, Illinois. She is the author of a profoundly helpful parenting book, First Ask Why: Raising Kids to Love God through Intentional Discipleship, and is a woman of great faith when it comes to trusting God with her children, in spite of the trauma she experienced during her own childhood.Shelly inspires us to leave our loves in God's hands and trust Him to accomplish His great purposes in the face of our own fears. At a time when the Coronavirus pandemic has swept our world, this episode speaks to the importance of trusting God with the unknown and the importance of becoming a support system to each other. Mentions | Links | ResourcesMeet Shelly Wildman at https://www.shellywildman.com/Philippians 2First Ask Why: Raising Kids to Love God Through Intentional Discipleship by Shelly WildmanEncounter God Bible StudyEncounter God: 52 Scripture CardsCALM Anxiety Strategy CardsEquine-Assisted CoachingLife Coach Training CourseSisterhood MembershipSupport the More to Be PodcastIf you are blessed by our podcast and ministry, we invite you to become a Sisterhood Member as a way of supporting our work.
