96. The Faith To Do Hard Things

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/04/09

The Faith To Do Hard Things? I have a saying. "Life's not meant to be HARD; it's meant to be LIVED." I started telling myself that sometime in my late 30's. See, up to that point, I was always trying to make life easier. And, in A LOT of areas, I succeeded. I simplified my home, I automated my homeschooling, I mastered budgeting, I even got on board with exercising on a regular basis. It felt like I was a real ADULT, lol! And then God prompted me to do something NEW, something

95. Finding Your Bible Reading Style

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/04/02

If we ENJOY reading the Bible, then we will naturally do more of it. And also, sometimes finding even 5 minutes a day to call our own is challenging! In this episode of Bragg-About Life, I share 3 main ways to read our Bible - or as I like to call it, "Finding Your Bible Reading Style"! But, here's something that I didn't say in the episode - ANY time spent in the Word of God is potentially transformational. One verse, quoted from memory, on repeat throughout a difficult day, is my FAVORITE way

93. Benefits of Working With a Coach

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/03/19

I didn't know that God had given me SO.MUCH.POWER. That's just 1 lesson I learned from working with a coach. I also didn't realize that the reason I lacked joy in my life was NOT based on my current circumstances - but rather on the way I was thinking about them, and feeling like a victim to those circumstances. I didn't realize that ONE THOUGHT could change my life. Finally, I didn't realize that working with a life coach would make DREAMS come true. Yes. It souonds like an EXAGGERATION. But how

92. Are Christians Supposed To Be Happy?

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/03/12

I've heard it been said - God cares more about your holiness than your happiness. Which leads us to believe - God is not interested in our happiness at all. And I think that idea is completely contrary to Scripture. I'm gonna be honest - it breaks my heart when I ask the question "Are Christians supposed to be happy" and people resound with a confident "NO!" Did you know that "Blessed" in the Bible (in both Hebrew and Greek) means "happy"? So, are Christians supposed to be blessed? YES! And

Ever felt held back in life by your inability to MAKE MORE MONEY? Ever felt uncomfortable asking for a raise or offering to sell your product or service to someone else? Wondering why people aren't EXCITED about your stuff - EVEN if it is free? That's because we've bought into a lie - that sales is a creepy thing that people do in a creepy way to make money for selfish reasons. And we don't want ANY part of that - nor should we!!!

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/02/27

Does living life on your own terms sound, well, selfish? Have you ever wished you had more time - but when you do get more time, others seem to ask more of you? Ever wished you had more energy, but also felt like you were lazy because you could see others that seem to do more - and they never get tired? If there's anything the Enemy is good at - it's at getting us to compare ourselves And comparing leads us to either feeling inadequate (because we see others as better than us) feeling prideful

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/02/20

Do you struggle with anxiety? Ever wonder if it's a spiritual failing? "If my faith were stronger, I wouldn't be fearful!"

If you had to pick one word to describe your marriage, what would it be? If you chose one word to describe your ideal marriage, what woud it be? Mine would be the same - passionate. Even before I met my husband, I wanted to have a passionate marriage. How does that saying go...Be careful what you wish for? LOL The reason I wanted to talk about my marriage - and the pros and cons of our passionate natures and our passionate relationship together - is because of this - To dispel the myth that there

87. Are We Worshipping the HARD?

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/02/06

Are We Worshipping the HARD? There's our goal. Then there's stuff we go through to reach our goal. Some of that stuff is HARD. HARD at first, until we get used to doing it, and then it gets easier. Like walking, public speaking, advocating for others - all things that start out hard and then grow easier with practice. HOWEVER, there seems to be a big, macho attitude towards "HARD" now. "We Do HARD THINGS, BRUH!" Just because they're hard and just to prove how tough they are. Okay. That's fine

84. 6 Reasons for Unnecessary Busyness

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/01/16

Blessed are the BUSY, because they shall get to finally rest in Heaven someday. That is NOT what the Good Book says, but for some reason, it has become quite acceptable in Christian circles to be rushing around from activity to activity, staying busy with lots of life events and ministry opportunities. And I was the worst about this. In this episode, I share a snapshot of what I now refer to as "the BUSY years", how I got trapped in unnecessary busyness, and what I did to free myself from a

Iron sharpens iron - that's what the Bible says. Being influential on those around you was a THING before Instagram, lol! In fact, we are called to be a light to the world. So, the next question is, how to be influential? Or, how to be MORE influential? That's what I dive into in this episode. Don't worry. This is not "how to be Instagram famous" - but rather, how to be influential in the ways that are important to you, and that can have a life-changing, positive influence on those you

Bragg-About Life Podcast ·

2024/01/02

Nobody likes a crybaby. At least, that's what I thought. And as a sensitive child, I spent a LOT of time trying to prevent the tears, hide the tears, deny the tears. I thought my sensitive nature was a weakness. Until one day, when I realized, It IS NOT! We all have aspects of ourselves that we might not have chosen. Physical, mental, emotional parts of us that feel like they're holding us back. Question is, what are we going to do about these "flaws"? Are we going to go through life, apologizing
