Find Hope to Dream Again

by

Are You Still Dreaming?

Listen to Our Podcast Below or Watch on YouTube.

What if your dreams, buried under layers of fear, could find new life? What if that sense of adventure was God’s invitation to rediscover hope and dream anew?

There was a time in my life that I falsely concluded that the dream God put in my heart had died. Dismissing my dream served as a defense mechanism against the potential disappointment that may arise from a dream that seemed lost.

Can you relate? 

But what if your dream, like mine, never died? It fell to the ground, laying dormant for a period, allowing for a grander dream to take shape. What if the vision bestowed upon you by God in the past is destined to come to fruition? What if you could dare to dream again? 

I believe you can – and you must. Your dream matters. Your heart matters. 

In today’s teaching message, find hope to dream again.

ONWARD,

Aliene

Can Shame Affect My Purpose?

by

Releasing Shame to Find Courage to BLOOM

Listen to Our Podcast Below or Watch on YouTube.

In codependency, we view others as powerful and talented, but failed to nurture the gifts that God has bestowed upon us.

Relying on God awakens our individual identity, moves our hearts, and helps us recognize the value that we can bring to others. This takes time when you’ve spent a lifetime seeking validation from others, concealing your true self.

Shame has a way of casting a shadow over our true essence, dimming the light of Christ that should radiate from within us. It whispers lies of unworthiness and incapability, dampening our courage and holding us back from blooming into the beautiful wildflower we were meant to be. 

But as we connect with God, the source of all creation, we can tap into a wellspring of strength and confidence. God can shed the cloak of shame so we can step boldly into our purpose, embracing our full potential becomes not just a possibility, but a joyful journey of building God’s Kingdom.

It’s time to cultivate who God created you to be.

In today’s teaching message release shame and find courage to bloom. It’s time for you to shine!

ONWARD,

Aliene

How Am I Covering My Shame?

by

Why Addressing Shame Without God Doesn’t Work

Listen to Podcast below or Watch on YouTube.

Shame is a powerful, painful emotion. Giving rise to a relentless inner critic, shame speaks lies which make it hard to see God’s truth about who we really are.

Our natural instinct is to fight back, relying on our own strength to overcome shame and emerge victorious. We keep pushing, and initially, we may triumph.

However, like a persistent opponent, the inner critic grows louder and that unyielding inner critic makes a comeback.

The truth is, addressing shame without God leads to its multiplication. My codependency set up expectations that resulted in condemnation. Living by my list created a sense of continual failure and inadequacy, breeding more shame. My list-style living extended to relationships, as I felt obligated to meet perceived expectations. 

Trying to resolve shame without God only reinforces it, leading to worry, unbelief, and fear.

Throughout history, self-reliance in combating shame has been prevalent. Just as Adam and Eve tried to cover their shame with fig leaves, humanity has long sought to mask shame independently from God.

BUT GOD! 

Aren’t you so glad Jesus came to take your fig leaves and give you freedom instead? 

In today’s message step into the light, shed those fig leaves and prepare to step into deeper levels of freedom from shame. It’s time for you to shine!

ONWARD,

Aliene

Setting Boundaries to Live Free

by

Are You Communicating Your Limits?

Listen to Podcast below or Watch on YouTube.

In past podcasts, I’ve discussed boundaries as beneficial to put God first. But have you ever thought about how boundaries prevent others from trying to make YOU their god? 

Relationships can contain a hidden, unhealthy power struggle, producing unhealthy worship on both ends. 

Walking on eggshells to keep abuse at bay, prevent rejection, or maintain the peace, has the potential to position YOU as their god – holding you responsible for their emotions, actions, and comfort. 

Falsely believing you must never let others down by always being there for them, rescuing or fixing them, steps into God’s shoes. 

Has someone blamed you for their ugly words or actions towards you? Did you shoulder unnecessary shame because you mistakenly thought it was your responsibility? 

While we can appreciate and admire, only the Almighty is worthy of worship.

This spiritual boundary set by God is a vital reason to set boundaries with others. When you don’t communicate limits, others could see you as limitless and lean on you in a way that only God is worthy to bear. 

In today’s teaching message, we are diving into how the blood of Jesus provides spiritual boundaries, inviting us to trust God and lead others to do the same.

ONWARD!

How to Discern God’s Voice when Setting Boundaries

by

What is the Belt of Truth?

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

Codependency led me to live in captivity.  

While no physical prison bars confined me, my controlling tendencies and self-sufficiency robbed me of real freedom and prevented me from walking in God’s power.

All in the name of survival, fear and oppression drove me to develop the faulty defense mechanisms of control and self-sufficiency, instead of walking in God’s power under His protection.

Can you relate? 

One of the enemy’s greatest calling cards is using lies to trigger you to function out of fear, rather than faith – to use your armor to fight and fend for yourself.  

Discovering how to discern God’s voice to set boundaries was a vital part of releasing my armor. I was able to take hold of one of the most powerful parts of God’s spiritual armor – the belt of truth.

God’s discernment will give you guidance to set boundaries His way. 

In today’s message, discover how to grow in your discernment, secure the belt of truth, set boundaries with God’s guidance and confidently live out your calling. 

ONWARD!

Set Boundaries with Yourself by Doing THIS!

by

Win the Battles in Your Mind by Setting Boundaries in Your Thinking.

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

There are all kinds of battlefields. 

What is or was your warzone? Where did the enemy of your soul lob his unfair, ferocious, fiery darts relentlessly, one after another – so much so that the crazy became comfortable? 

Perhaps you left your battlefield long ago, but you notice that the battle has not left you.

You still feel anxiety, anger, insecurity, hopelessness, or fear. Often, after a cease-fire, the greatest battle lies ahead – the battle of setting boundaries in your thinking. 

How has the enemy normalized dysfunction so that you settle, instead of setting boundaries to soar? 

Now hear this treasured one – your past doesn’t have to dictate your future. 

In today’s message, see how God can shift your paradigm by painting a new picture of what could be. It’s time to see faith beyond your familiar… with new steps to live in freedom as God intended! 

I am always cheering you on!

ONWARD,

Aliene

How to Handle Boundary Disrespect

by

Are People Respecting Your Boundaries?

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

God is NOT calling you to be a doormat. 

In a perfect world, people respect boundaries. But we all know that life doesn’t work out neat and tidy. 

People are messy.

Just because we set a boundary does not necessarily mean people will respect that boundary. 

Boundary pushers show up in different ways. They display traits like narcissism, immaturity, entitlement, selfishness, privilege, desperation, cluelessness, or a toxic mix of any of these. 

For the love of Pete! These people pursue their desires regardless of your boundaries, often disregarding them completely!

Has someone blown off a boundary you set and you’re looking for how to navigate the situation with wisdom?  In today’s teaching message, discover Biblical strategies to deal with boundary disrespect, God’s Way. 

Much Love,

Aliene
