women of faith

Hey there, power girl! This is Toshia Lane, and I'm so excited for you to join me in today's episode of The Toshia Lane Show. I've got a heartfelt message that I believe will touch your soul and empower you to embrace change with open arms.

In this episode, let's share a moment of prayer and inspiration as we navigate the journey of transformation together. As women of greatness, we're called to be the light in our homes, careers, communities, and the marketplace. But let's be real – sometimes, that light attracts its fair share of darkness, trying to bring us down.

I want you to know that your assignment is massive, and it's okay if you're feeling the weight of it. Today, we're going to dive deep into how to prepare for the challenges that come with our calling. No matter where you are on your journey, there's strength within you to face the darkness and come out shining even brighter.

Join me as we chat about winning the victory in the end. I'll share stories, insights, and a whole lot of encouragement to help you navigate through whatever might be trying to hold you back. This is a safe space to uplift and empower each other.

So, grab your favorite cup of tea or coffee, find a cozy spot, and let's dive into this soul-nourishing episode together. I believe in you, and I can't wait to see the incredible impact you'll make as we embrace change and step into our greatness. Get ready to be inspired on The Toshia Lane Show!

About the Guest

Lily (pseudonym) is a former school administrator with a heart for engaging the nations who live among us. She is currently engaged in purposeful interactions with people from various nations in a large city in North America. Lily is intentional about cultivating compassion for those who don't know Jesus and seeks to be an authentic witness in her daily life.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, Karen and Lily discuss the importance of cultivating compassion for people who don't know Jesus. They explore personal experiences and moments of compassion, emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding and empowering believers to share their faith. Lily shares stories of connecting with individuals from different backgrounds and cultures, demonstrating the transformative power of compassion and the impact it can have on others. The conversation highlights the need for believers to step out of their comfort zones, engage with people who don't know Jesus, and pray for a deeper understanding of God's love for the lost.

Key Takeaways:

Cultivating compassion for those who don't know Jesus is essential for effective witness and sharing of faith.
Praying for a love for the lost sheep and asking God to reveal His heart for them can lead to transformative experiences and opportunities to share the gospel.
Obedience to God's prompting and stepping out in faith can result in powerful encounters and moments of connection with individuals who need to hear about Jesus.
Living a life of compassion requires being fully present and immersed in the condition of being human, sharing in people's brokenness, and rejoicing with those who rejoice.
Engaging with people from different cultures and backgrounds can challenge preconceived notions and prejudices, leading to personal growth and a deeper understanding of God's love for all people.
Notable Quotes:

"When we walk in obedience, we may not feel it at first. But as we are obedient to the Lord, He moves in the way that only He can move." - Lily
"If your walk with the Lord is stagnant or you're not seeing God move, get in the harvest because He is there and He is moving." - Lily

Are you a woman, serving in ministry with your family, feeling like your entire life is just dragging you along for the ride? Like you do not have a voice on what you do with your your time, your energy, your focus? 
. 
I can understand. 
.
Sometimes, it can feel like the very ministry we are called to be a part of, is actually draining us of fun, energy, focus and we are living our lives as a person we do not even recognize.  These are moments when we are just out of sync with what we know God has called our family to be a part of... and guess what?  
. 
You are not alone! 
. 
I have had many seasons like this and today we are going to take a look at some ways to get back on track and start loving the life God has given us right now!! 
. 
Ministry is not what's making us frustrated, irritated, or feeling out of control. It's our thoughts, our perspective, our own lack of planning and organizing.  In this episode, we are taking a deep dive into strategizing our weekly plan and how to take back the Life God has given us to share his light with the world!! 
I know you are gonna love it!

Have you ever experienced moving to a new church with your husband in ministry? 

Do you know what it is like to uproot your life and graft yourself into a new church family where you are far from your own family and comfortable norm to follow God? 

If you are a woman serving in ministry with your family, you have probably experienced this already, or you will in the future. Hearing from women who know what this is like is super helpful to spur you on towards Christ.  I want to help remind you that you are not alone!! I have lots of friends who are faithfully serving the gospel through ministry and work in non-profit, para church organizations and I am excited to share with you their stories! 

This week I sat down with my Pastors' Wife, Allie Tucker🥰 ! We had a great conversation about transitions in ministry, confidence in Christ and a few giggles about guilty pleasure movies, the Oreo and a trick question she totally knocked out of the park!!

Rituals play a crucial role in our lives and impact how we interact with others, God, and the world. Rites of passage shape us and provide opportunities for spiritual formation at an individual and communal level. Alejandra Herrera proposes that celebrating the Quinceañera as a rite of passage can serve young Latinas as an opportunity for evangelization and cultural identity formation.

The impact of an encounter with God in the wilderness creates lasting change and it helps us become more than Change Makers but Cycle-Breakers too.

The imperfect people of the Bible reveal to us the how-to of making lasting change in our lives. I hope you’ll join me to hear more about being a Cycle-Breaker & living your life counter-culturally on today’s episode. We’ve been given the tools we need to say, “This ends in me…” (and mean it).
