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 Spiritual Pain Causes Shame

by

Is Your Loss Adding To Your Shame?

Listen To Our Podcast Below or Watch on YouTube.

Loss is not easy for anyone to face. But when the enemy has attached a stigma to our suffering, the pain intensifies because this adds shame to our loss.

Satan will tell us such lies as:

It’s not ok, to not be okay

You should just get over this, you are not strong in your faith.

This is all your fault.

God must be really disappointed in you.

But by embracing our emotions and seeking God, we can navigate through our loss with courage and resilience. Even in the darkest moments, there is beauty waiting to be born.

Every goodbye paves the way for a fresh start, a new chapter filled with possibilities and growth.

In today’s teaching message navigating through spiritual pain to heal from shame.

ONWARD,

What Is the Source of Real Love?

by

What Does Real Love Look Like?

Listen to Podcast below or Watch on YouTube.

Is your heart thirsty for more?

Today, Lord, I exchange idols for intimacy,
codependency for God dependency,
seeking fulfillment my way for seeking you.
In this divine exchange, I find fulfillment and freedom as you’ve intended.

Codependency, a confusing and exhausting state, ensnares us when we place people at the center of our lives instead of God. In his sneaky ways, the enemy drains us by redirecting our efforts.

We find ourselves cradling the idolatry of others, constantly helping and rescuing, yet never fully quenching our thirst. This perpetual chase creates unhealthy cycles, leading us into bondage instead of God’s freedom, leaving us utterly exhausted.

When we change the rudder of our hearts through our choice to put God first – when we make it a lifestyle declaration – everything changes. Remember, we are all designed to serve something or someone. God wired our hearts this way to lead us to Him.

So, why not choose to serve God with joy? He delights in giving us abundant life.

Serving people, things, or even ourselves will always leave us wanting more. Serving God brings true fulfillment. (Deuteronomy 28:47-48)

It is a daily walk of God dependency that leads us to freedom!

Codependency is not a problem to be solved, but a lifestyle to be replaced with daily God dependency. The antidote for codependency is nourishing your soul daily with God’s spoken Word.

This is why we equip women with the Nourish Bible Study Method in the Treasured Tribe – so they can exchange codependency for God dependency and thrive. 

 “Man does not live by bread alone but by every Word that comes from the mouth of God.”
– Matthew 4:4

As Paul David Tripp wisely said, “God uses a picture of physical food to point us to universal, spiritual hunger. Life is all about what we look to fill us”

In today’s message, discover the motivator to turn your heart’s rudder, to seek God first and satisfy your soul. 

ONWARD!

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
