S5E14 - Buddy Time with Gayle Novak

This Buddy-Time episode of "the real deal' is chocked full of encouragement, challenge and hope!

Gayle and Rachel discussed taking new territory, new beginnings, a spirit of acceleration doing things together, being in the word, the power of testimony and to not despise the day of small beginnings. They delighted in this truth: God uses screw ups.

We all have something to share because God is moving. We get to be in the word and share testimony with others; it's a privilege and delight not drudgery. Admittedly, it is common to commiserate rather than to give thanks, rejoice and share testimony, but breakthroughs are happening and shifts are occurring, so let's CELEBRATE!

Things that have taken years are turning around. But the wilderness is "worth the wait and it's never a waste." During the wait, more is happening to you and in you than you may ever realize.

S5E13 - Jodi Lucas

Present, Available and Relational

Jodi Lucas is a woman who is present, available and relational. She is led by the Holy Spirit and grateful for His presence in her life and has become even more aware of His role in it. She never wants to grieve the Holy Spirit.

Jodi has been a friend of mine for years, she is a wife, long term homeschool mom, a woman dedicated to discipleship, she is a lover of the word-Jesus, and she’s incredibly quick-witted and hilarious.

In this episode we talked about the faithfulness of God and how He can continue to course correct lives through a series of pivots. He has been an active pursuer of Jodi. He has been good and gracious to her and she has trusted and surrendered to His plans and ways.

We talked about her years in comedy, a pivot to high school ministry, her health issues dealing with infertility which led to the adoption of her two girls who are now young women. I can trace the hand of the good Father in all of it. I’m filled, delighted and so thankful for a morning spent with Jodi for “the real deal." I know you’ll be encouraged and inspired as you listen too.
