Episode 165: What’s in Your Cup?

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 06:00:00 -0400

An extremely relatable analogy was shared with me this week, and I think you can relate as well. How do you respond when life gets hard? What spills out of your heart and mouth? I received this in perfect timing, as I was feeling that deep mom exhaustion. I was frustrated with most of what got in my way. I realized after reading the analogy, that I was not filling my cup with the best choices. I was off track, and I needed to get back on immediately.

Challenge: Start filling your cup and taking care of yourself right now.

Episode 160: Don’t Let the World Rush You

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 06:00:00 -0400

The world will constantly rush you, pressure you, and pull you from God and calm in your life and day. You have to choose to step away from the crazy and create some space in your day. This will help bring you closer to God, bring calm in your heart, and add peace to your day. We will always have challenges and hard days, but when we have God, we can still be calm in our heart and know that we will be ok.

Takeaway: Regardless of what is going on in your life, you can have calm in your heart.

Challenge: Be intentional this week about creating space in your day so that you can have more peace in your heart.

Quote: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. - Isaiah 40:31

Episode 153: Focus on the message within you

Kelley Ranaudo — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 06:00:00 -0400

When we focus on the message, and not ourselves, it is a whole different ball game. The message drives you, inspires you, and empowers you. When we make it about us…fear, insecurity, and doubt creep in. Listen to your heart and soul, and bring your message to the world. We need to hear it.

Takeaway: If you have a message to share, share it. You are the vessel to bring your message to the world, and we need to hear it.

Challenge: Challenge yourself this week to slow down and listen to what your heart and soul is trying to tell you to share.

Kelley Ranaudo — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 06:00:00 -0400

It is too easy to fall into the worldly trap of distractions, that keep us from all that can be good in our life. This week I want you to pay attention and get really honest with yourself about where you are spending your time. I empower you to own your time and choose to spend it where it matters most to you.

Challenge: Work on humility in at least one area of your life.

Episode 150: Their story is not your story

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 18:00:00 -0400

Know your story and what matters to you. Don’t get distracted by other people’s stories and their opinion of your story. Walk your own path and make choices to help you feel confident in your own story.

Takeaway: Get honest with yourself this week about where you might be distracted by other people's stories.

Challenge: Pay attention to where you are getting distracting, and challenge yourself to live your own story.

Episode 147: Soul Care

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 29 Apr 2024 10:00:00 -0400

What are you doing to take care of your soul? There are many ways to nurture your soul and get closer to God. We are all different in what ignites and stirs our soul. There are many choices each day that bring me closer to God and I truly feel a stirring in my soul. It is apparent in how I react, when I skip these choices when life gets hectic. Listen in and think about what you are doing each day to stir your affection for God and how you are caring for your soul. The health of our soul is so important, and sometimes neglected if we don’t know how to care for it.

Episode 140: The Waiting without the worry

Kelley Ranaudo — Mon, 11 Mar 2024 07:00:00 -0400

We are all waiting for something, whether we are in a really hard season, or have something uncertain going on in our lives. How are you responding in the waiting? Are you filled with worry, or are you choosing to trust God and get closer to God during this hard, uncertain season? I want you to think about it. Are you showing up for what matters? These are important thoughts in order for us to get through this hard season and become better through it. What happens during the waiting is possibly more important than what we are waiting for.

Challenge: Choose to show up for what matters in the waiting this week.

Quote: I said in the podcast that Toby Mac said this, but he actually posted it, which is where I saw it.
