Kairos Moments
"What do you do when you are unable to change the difficult situation you’re in? Even if you can’t change the circumstance, you are not a victim. Instead, you are empowered by the Holy Spirit to be victorious in the midst of your hard season." (Karen Harmon) Karen’s Kairos Moment: Karen’s pastor CHALLENGED her to praise God FOR the hard season she was in.

42. Can a Christian Woman Be Ambitious?
Kairos Moments
Ambition always felt like a dirty word to me! I thought Christian women: are supposed to be meek and quiet, should be passive and content, and should stay as far away from ambition as possible.

7 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Collaborating
Kairos Moments
Before venturing into a collaborating relationship with someone, here are seven questions you need to ask yourself. ***If you haven't already done so, would you mind taking a couple minutes to leave a RATING and REVIEW for the podcast. This helps others know if it's worth their time to listen. This is your go-to podcast for helping you gain momentum in your God-given dream while becoming the woman God created you to be in the process.
info_outlineOn Today’s Episode:
I’m talking to Tammy Whitehurst. Tammy is the co-director of the Christian Communicator’s Conference, a training conference for speakers. However, to those who know her best she is simply Davis’s wife, an empty nest mom, and a former middle school teacher. Tammy told me she’s built her team around the premise of “collaboration over competition.” When I heard that, I knew she was my people, and I had to have her on the podcast.
KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS:
- Abundance vs. Scarcity Mindset! Just because God blesses you with a gift, doesn't diminish His ability to bless me with my own unique gift.
- Collaborators know how to learn from others.
- Collaborators are inviters.
- Collaborators are includers. Usually, they’ve felt the sting of being on the outside.
- Collaborators have been underdogs.
- Collaborators want to see and applaud the gifts God’s given other people.
- Collaborators are confident in the gifts God’s given them.
- Collaborators are encouragers.
- Collaborators want to see other people succeed.
- Collaborators share.
- Collaboration is a Win-Win!
QUOTES:
“When you collaborate instead of compete with other people, you get MORE doors open to you!” (Tammy)
“You do what God’s called you to do, and we work together to do something really awesome” (Tammy)
“When we compete ... we’re ultimately going to end up alone” (Tammy)
“Competition is lonely” (Julie)
When people compete ... “Satan’s like a buzzard. He just roams around picking people apart one painful piece at a time” (Tammy).
“Collaboration is a happier place. You don’t have jealousy and envy. You accept the call god’s put on your life and do it well” (Tammy).
“Don’t die with buried treasure!” (Tammy)
SCRIPTURE:
“Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life" (Galatians 6:4-5, The MSG).
"I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace" (Acts 20:24, NIV).
*********************************************
For the woman who is discouraged from even trying because she feels like she can’t compete:
- Step out on two-footed faith. One footed faith says, “Okay Jesus, I’m going to step out in faith, but just in case you don’t come through for me, I’m going to have Plan B, C, D, E, F and G.”
- Believe that the impossible is possible. So many people stop before they even get started because they think they have to be perfect. Cemeteries are filled with stories that were never told, songs that were never sung, teachers that never taught.
