3953 No More Words
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Have you ever paused to consider how God truly wants you to show up each day? It’s easy to walk into church on Sunday with a smile and a heart full of joy—or at least a glimpse of it. But ask yourself: how genuine is that moment? Is it real and life-giving? Or is it just a performance, a mask worn for the crowd, for appearances? God doesn’t need the mask. He sees behind it. He knows the truth that we often try to hide, even from ourselves. No more words. Jesus said it plainly in Matthew 5, in the Beatitudes—a blueprint for living “God’s way.” It’s a call to something deeper...

3952 Are You Chasing the Wrong Part of the Heart?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage. A word that conjures images of bliss, partnership, and forever—but also confusion, frustration, and unexpected challenges. When two people say, “I do,” it isn’t just a promise to love; it’s an entry into a complicated dance of needs, expectations, and realities. And somewhere along the way, you might find yourself wondering: Are you chasing the wrong part of the heart? Let’s be real—too many people step into marriage thinking it’s all about them. They want their partner’s role to serve their needs, validate their feelings, and eliminate inconveniences. Desire to be...

3951 Prepare the Way
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
When your children are little, parenting feels all-consuming. Overwhelm doesn't even seem like a fitting word, yet you’re hands-on from feeding to teaching to fixing. Every day is full of immediate needs, constant crisis management, and unconditional love sprinkled throughout. It’s easy to believe that how you prepare the way means just getting them through those early years. But then, they grow. They move into adolescence, young adulthood, and beyond—and suddenly the kind of parenting required shifts. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the...

3950 Choose What You Carry Forward
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
So much in life is left in the trenches of what we lost or what didn't make it. Success can leave scars as much as failures. But the sting is always greater when something does not go your way. Yet, that's not how your story gets to end. There is joy in the morning, and you get to choose what you carry forward. That choice isn’t because of how much you know or the wit you’ve picked up along the way—though those add richness to your journey. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women?

3949 Lean Into Leverage
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
If you have a life where everything is perfectly aligned—ideal schedule, boundless energy, and endless resources—great. This isn’t for you. But for the rest of us? Especially when it comes to healthy living, the reality is messier, more complicated, and rarely perfect. So, instead of getting caught up in the magnitude of all the things 'health,' maybe it's all about how you lean into leverage. And not the leverage you are probably thinking of. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . That’s why chasing some ideal “health” picture rarely...

3948 Play YOUR Game Always!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle: where you’re going, what you need to do next, and—most dangerously—what everyone else is doing. When the pressure piles up, it’s tempting to look sideways, to compare your progress, your strategy, or your style to those around you. But if you want to reach places you haven’t been, you have to play YOUR game always! That means something simple yet incredibly powerful: show up as YOU every single day. No noise, no side distractions, no sneaky comparison traps. Just your game on your terms. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other...

3947 Why Fear Is Not What's Holding You Back
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Fear has a sneaky way of showing up and rallying an entire battalion of emotions. Doubt, anxiety, indecision, frustration—they all line up behind fear, forming an invisible yet impenetrable wall that paralyzes you from moving forward. So, have you ever wondered why fear is not what's holding you back? When those wall feels high, your first instinct might be to bulldoze through with brute force. Push harder. Hustle nonstop. Throw all your energy at the problem until something breaks. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . But here’s where most...

3946 Find Peace in the Midst of Troubles
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Troubles come to all of us—and how we handle them defines our peace and effectiveness. Sarah Young’s insight from Jesus Calling drives this home: "Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur." You can find peace in the midst of troubles. This truth challenges a common tendency—to ruminate on problems long before (or after) they happen, replaying them in our minds like a broken record. Instead, God calls us to a different way of handling struggle, a way rooted in trust, courage, and rest....

3945 The Heartbeat of a Powerhouse Marriage
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Marriage isn’t about becoming one person. It’s about two whole individuals choosing to grow together in a way that creates something far stronger than the sum of its parts. But the reality? That kind of connection doesn’t come easy. It takes diligent, ongoing effort for each spouse to develop themselves as confident individuals, and then to intentionally build a relationship that thrives on shared purpose and deep connection. That's the heartbeat of a powerhouse marriage. Consider Dan and Joanne Miller. Dan Miller, the New York Times Best-Selling author who passed two years ago, left a...

3944 Love Them More Than It Hurts
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Why do our children challenge us so much that it strangles our hearts? Raising kids is tough on parents; who cares about how the kids feel? Yet we deeply care about them. However, it's during those difficult times that we learn to love them more than it hurts. Raising kids is brutal sometimes. On the surface, it might seem like parents should just lay down the rules, set boundaries, and move on. But if it were that simple, parenting wouldn’t tear us up so deeply. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . So why do our kids challenge us in ways that...
info_outlineIt's so easy to get in our own way that all we can see is our faults, failures, and flaws. If that is the set of lenses you wear, how can you see anything else? Fight to win!
You have got to get beyond your own self. You have to get out of your own way. Don't fall into the trap of fear of moving forward, to take a chance, to jump even higher.

You can't predict what will happen daily, but you can choose how you respond to what comes at you.
I played basketball in high school-- but that was in P.E. class. I was not on any team, just in the class, because it was required. Now, the only sport I really liked was ice skating, so you can imagine my lack of enthusiasm to play anything, let alone basketball.
One day, the ball came at me so fast that a blink would make anyone miss. There I was, the one who had her hand not placed to receive the throw, and my finger was broken.
As a musician, this was devastating. I could feel all the goals and dreams I wanted begin to slip away.
But the fight came when I decided to win by navigating my way through the detour. Did you know you can play an open-hole flute with a splint on your ring finger?
I made the choice to figure out how to survive the fall and fight to win!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Fight to win!
Are you doing what you need to do in this season of life? Are you having those tough conversations first with yourself and then with those who need to have them with you?
You can keep moving forward when the walls around you are crumbling.
So what are you waiting for? What is really holding you back?
What can you do today to impact tomorrow?
And don't give me the song and dance that says, "You're too busy or you don't have time." I've been on that train many times before. And if you choose to stay on that train, you will take all of your dreams and bury them with you when you're six feet under.
But at this moment, you can make a decision that will turn the tide. You can calm the chaos in your head and focus on the next step in your heart so you can fight to win.
Let's get real and raw! What really matters that deserves your attention? In other words, where are you going to fight to win?
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
