Are you a single Christian woman who finds yourself perpetually stuck in a state of inaction or despair because you’re waiting for your soulmate? Are telling yourself you’re not in a relationship because: – You aren’t attractive – There is something wrong with you – You are struggling financially on your own? Are you telling yourself you’re not important because you are single? Then welcome to RISE from Stuck with Bonnie Jean Schaefer. I understand what it’s like to feel invisible, overlooked, unimportant, unattractive, and alone. I understand what it’s like to use those feelings as an excuse to stay small, ignore God’s call, and convince myself I can’t succeed in relationships or business because I don’t have: – The looks of a supermodel – A husband – Enough money – Enough talent – Enough connections – The right credentials or – A charismatic personality. ***But I’m learning to understand that my real problem is that when I don’t trust God with my whole heart, I fail to be who I know I should be and do what I know I should do because of my doubt-filled, excuse-riddled mindset.*** I’m also learning to understand that **seeking God first is the answer**. Embracing my identity in Him is the path to confidence, significance, and success, the kind of success that has nothing to do with being skinny, being married, or being wealthy. The kind of success that matters is being like Christ and getting results that glorify God. And you can’t produce those kind of results without relentless, purposeful action in the direction of your God-given dreams. **I’ve known this core truth all along. I’ve been a Christian since age four, earned my Bible degree in 1999, and published four novels so far, one as me and three as fantasy author DK Drake. But the internal war I describe in episode 30 between my competing desires to be married and to be an author entrepreneur has kept me small. Hidden. Insignificant. Until now. Now I have a firm foundation and framework for my life that honors God. Now I know I am can be both single and significant because I am in Christ. And I want to help you build that same foundation and framework for your life. I want you to feel significant. Important. Valuable. I want you to find your significance in Christ, not in your appearance, a relationship, or your net worth. I want you to RISE from Stuck and live a confident, significant life as a single Christian woman. If you happen to attract the man God has for you in the process, BONUS! That’s why the mission of this podcast is to help you build a foundation and framework for your life so that you can glorify God while living your dreams. On this podcast, you can expect episodes that cover the following topics: – Know God and understand His design – Know yourself and respect your strengths – Take consistent action toward goals that glorify God. In the process of knowing God, yourself, and taking action, my prayer is that you become the diligent, disciplined, passionate woman God designed you to become so that you can attempt great things for Him. If you happen to attract a man in the process, BONUS. But that is not the focus of this podcast. Here we focus on serving God to the best of our ability while trusting Him to provide whatever we need, including a mate. Ready to rise? Start by listening to episode 30, then taking the action I suggest at the end of the episode. This rise from stuck journey may be a bumpy ride, but as we learn to trust God, respect our strengths, and do the work God is calling us to do, we are going to build confidence, courage and consistency in the pursuit of God and our dreams regardless of our marital status. So strap into God’s word. Grab on to my hand. And let’s rise from stuck. Together.
