106 - Unconventional Advice for Finding Your Soulmate
Bragg-About Life Podcast
When I was a child, I believed in Happy Ever Afters. I believed God was going to bring me a perfect man, and I was going to fall perfectly in love, and we were going to have a perfect wedding, and live happily every after, with our couple of perfect kids. And then I went to college, a GREAT place for that perfect man to find me (especially in the olden days - before all the dating apps) and I learned this valuable lesson - He couldn't find me if I was hiding all the time. Sometimes, we're taught that we as Christians should ALWAYS be waiting - that FAITH requires waiting...

Ep. 105 - Faith, Fear, & Finance - Interview with Danesca Baez
Bragg-About Life Podcast
What are your thoughts about money? And, do they cause you to be suspicious of it, or good stewards of it? Broadly speaking, I believe Christians have been led by the Enemy to be suspicious of money. "The love of money is the root of all evil." It's so clever of him to take the words of JESUS and twist them through the centuries to convince us to be afraid of money and wealth, instead of seeing it for the USEFUL tool that it is! When we as Christians, and especially as Christian women, become confident stewards of the resources God gives us, and use our God-given...

Ep. 104 - Strong vs Submissive Marriage
Bragg-About Life Podcast
Want a GREAT marriage? Here's tip #1 - Never take marriage advice from people who don't enjoy their marriage - in ALL aspects. I was raised to believe that a "godly" marriage should look a certain way - Husband leads in all things, Wife submits in all things, Children obey in all things, And dogs are better than cats as pets. Dogs are loyal. Cats are too independent. Okay - that last part was a stretch, but not by much. Here's the problem I see. We are looking for the "perfect formula" to avoiding divorce, and having a great marriage, Not realizing that the Bible is...

103. Parenting Strong VS Submissive Kids
Bragg-About Life Podcast
Were you told, "Train up a child, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Were you promised, if you parent correctly, everything will be okay. Were you pressured to insist that your kids obey, promptly, completely, with a positive attitude, every time, every adult? Were you taught a PARENTING MYTH? I've never met a parent who didn't have the desire to be the best parent possible to their kids. And, parenting is a sensitive topic. And parents are getting so much conflicting advice. After 22 years, I'm sharing my secret but strong opinion. Just so you know, I don't think we're doing...

102. How To Spot Your Blind Spots
Bragg-About Life Podcast
Have you ever CRAVED wisdom? I remember when I was a little girl, and I wanted to know EVERYTHING. I'm sure my questions drove my family nuts. (I KNOW they drove my teachers nuts - they told me so!) But it just seemed to me, if you knew more, you'd make better decisions. And better decisions would lead to a better life. Anyway, that's what I thought when I was about age 8. Now, at 47? I am CONVINCED of it. So, I thought I would share with you the stages we pass through to go from IGNORANCE (everyone's starting spot) to WISDOM - and how that can help us become SELF AWARE of...

101. The Time Management Trap
Bragg-About Life Podcast
Are you looking for a better time management system so you'll have more time to spend with the ones you love, and doing the things you love to do? Or, are you looking for a time management system that will help you get EVERYTHING done, regardless of its importance to you and your purpose and goals in life? This episode dives into how "time management" stops being a tool, and potentially becomes a TRAP - when it is used indiscriminately. Especially geared for Christians who feel guilty about resting when there's ALWAYS more that can be done for the Kingdom of God, I hope that this episode will...

100 - The Confidence Formula
Bragg-About Life Podcast
Ever looked at a talented friend doing something that you secretly wish you could do, but you're plagued by the thought "I could never do that. She is so confident!" Well, I've learned a little secret. There's not much that we cannot LEARN how to do. Even things like speaking on stage or video - which is the thing that I wanted to learn how to do - even though the mere thought had me breaking out in HIVES! So, in this 100th episode of Bragg...About Life, I thought I would share with you my story of going from "I'll NEVER be on video" to now starting a YOUTUBE...

99. 3 People Who Steal Our Time
Bragg-About Life Podcast
Ever wished you had more time? Ever feel guilty for wanting more time for yourself? What if those 2 things are linked? There's a reason why most women's time management problem is not going to be solved by "becoming more efficient" or "going to a digital calendar". I know. I tried. I even bought a HUGE wall calendar and wrote EVERYTHING down - and still didn't have time. Because there were 3 people stealing my time. And that's why I now know this - if we don't stop the steal, it won't help to make more time - because that extra time will just get taken too. (kinda like...
info_outlineAre 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 if that's what you want.
But beware of these 2 mistakes:
- Goal swapping - making "doing HARD things" the goal instead of dealing with "hard things" as they come up in our progress toward our goal
- Great Story Syndrome - comparing our life to someone else's great story of how they overcame a tragedy and making it mean we can't help people in a great way without a great story
Remember this - Life is as hard as it needs to be to teach us the lessons we need to know to make life better.
