Do you feel stuck? Have you settled for mediocrity? Are you unsure of what your next chapter looks like? Do you have big dreams but feel unsure of how to fulfill them? We go to Colorado Springs to talk with Coach and Consultant Kim Levings in today’s show. Kim went from a suicide attempt to a thriving, successful life living her passion! She believes that with the right mixture of thinking, belief, and action, anyone can set themselves free and live the life they were created to.
Throughout her career, Kim has realized that she doesn’t have to stay in a Christian bubble or proselytize and evangelize from a platform in order to make a Kingdom impact. Instead, she uses scriptural principles for training and developing leaders and has found that people are attracted and curious to understand the light and hope she emanates. Kim is the author of Practically Imperfect in Every Way. This great resource guides women through a journey of discovery by exposing how the enemy tempts us to find our identity in our career or through the veneer of perfection. The book emphasizes shedding toxic thinking, the Armor of God in Ephesians 6, and aligning our plans, purposes, and identity with God’s.

sW4H 20 | Cindy Marks Uncharted The Prayer Room to the Board Room
Sometimes the needs in our communities are so daunting that it leaves us feeling like our contribution is insignificant and we are unable to create impact. In 2012, the crime rate in Modesto, California, was significantly higher than the US national average. Community and social activist Cindy Marks, and a group of fellow Christ-followers, wanted to see their city change, so they launched Pray Modesto, and guess what? The results are in, and they are pretty darn good.

Sometimes the needs in our communities are so daunting that it leaves us feeling like our contribution is insignificant and we are unable to create impact. In 2012, the crime rate in Modesto, California, was significantly higher than the US national average. Community and social activist Cindy Marks, and a group of fellow Christ-followers, wanted to see their city change – but how do you change something so systemic? By asking the one who has the power to change anything! This faithful group of Christians launched Pray Modesto, an umbrella under which they brought together Christian churches, ministries, and organizations to have continuous daily prayer for Modesto by assigning each entity one week to pray. And guess what? The results are in. Over the last five years, the city has experienced a measurable decline in crime.
Cindy Marks has always had a passion for government, education, and prayer. Her vision to see God heal relationships and be glorified in every sphere of influence caused Cindy to say ‘YES’ to God, not knowing she was an answer to the many prayers of others. Tune in to this incredible show as Cindy shares about how to make a difference in our schools and communities by taking God at His Word and stepping out in faith, even when we don’t know what the outcome will be.

Cindy is an incoming participant in the Masters Program for Women – a training program that helps you reframe your perspective, discover your calling, and reorient your life around making an eternal difference! (Oh, and did we mention that our host, Nadya Dickson, is the leader?) To find out more, go to MastersProgramForWomen.org Prayer is the seed of change, and an simple way to begin is by participating in the National Day of Prayer in your city. The success of Love Modesto eventually led to a nationwide movement called Love Our Cities that helps facilitate city-wide volunteer events and initiatives.

Guest: Heidi Lewerenz
Women in the workplace often experience the tension of navigating a career and motherhood. This sense of “mom guilt” comes from trying to maintain a compartmentalized life – the kind where work and family never intersect. As a businesswoman and mother of seven children, today’s guest, Coach Heidi Lewerenz, understands the challenge of living a truly healthy and integrated life. Tune in to hear how she shifted her identity, put aside her assumptions, and found a new way of living.

Women in the workplace often experience the tension of navigating a career and motherhood. This sense of “mom guilt” comes from trying to maintain a compartmentalized life – the kind where work and family never intersect. As a businesswoman and mother of seven children, today’s guest, Coach Heidi Lewerenz, understands the challenge of living a truly healthy and integrated life.
For years, Heidi put a great deal of energy into ensuring her professional life didn’t intersect with her family life. That approach left her drained, conflicted, and never feeling fully present in either area. Through some serious soul searching and prayer, God showed Heidi that she had been putting her identity in her various roles, rather than in Christ. It was when she shifted her perspective on WHO she was, that she finally experienced the freedom to embrace both of her roles. Tune in to hear about how Heidi shifted her identity, put aside her assumptions, and found a new way of living that gave her more confidence, peace and freedom.

Catherine’s word of the year is FOLLOW, and what an appropriate word it is! Following the Holy Spirit’s call on our lives requires us to be still and listen to his gentle promptings. The world is full of noise, and as Craig Groeschel says, “If the enemy can’t destroy you, he will distract you.” In this power-packed show, the sheWorks4Him co-hosts discuss the resources and tools that help them quiet down and focus on the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Guests: Rowlanda Cawthon
Ministry/Business: Northwest University
Studies show that men and women demonstrate similar levels of ambition and talent as they start their careers. And although women tend to earn more advanced degrees than their male counterparts, men frequently gain more encouragement to pursue their ambitions in the workplace. In today’s show, Dr. Rowlanda Cawthon, the Dean of the College of Business at Northwest University, talks about advocating for yourself & others, the mysterious leading of the Holy Spirit, & trusting God in the face of opposition.

Studies show that men and women generally demonstrate similar levels of ambition and talent as they start their careers. And although women tend to earn more advanced degrees than their male counterparts, men frequently gain more encouragement and support to pursue their ambitions in the workplace. Dr. Rowlanda Cawthon, the Dean of the College of Business at Northwest University, is an undeniably accomplished woman. In today’s show, she talks with hosts Martha Brangenberg and Catherine Gates about advocating for yourself and others, the mysterious leading of the Holy Spirit, and trusting God in the face of opposition.
Dr. Rowlanda Cawthon worked in criminal justice for almost 11 years before she felt God leading her to go back to school to pursue teaching and a spiritual mentor confirmed the calling. So, she went back for her educational doctorate in organizational leadership – a choice that brought her to where she is today. The Lord has taken Rowlanda in directions she hadn’t planned - getting her Ph.D., working in education - but as she looks back, she can see how God prepared the way. Rowlanda now wants to carry on the mantle that her spiritual director started, to encourage and inspire others to seek God and follow His lead, no matter where it takes them.
