| Overcoming Worry | Alita Reynolds & Gari Meacham | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:28:08 | |
Overview: Worry is a common experience that many people face in their lives. It can consume our thoughts, drain our energy, and hinder our ability to live in the present moment. However, there is a way to transform this negative emotion into something positive and empowering. In this show episode titled "Overcoming Worry," our friend and guest, Gary Meacham, shares her journey of overcoming worry and finding a new perspective.
Gari Meacham is supportive and a treasured friend. She offers guidance and points others toward Jesus when they struggle with worry. Gary runs a ministry and is a gift to those she serves. Gary admits that she has struggled with worry, which she finds embarrassing, considering she has written books on the topic. She shares that she used to confuse praying with worrying, merely adding God's words at the beginning and end of her worries. However, she had a realization and began to understand that true prayer involves belief and trust in God rather than being consumed by worry.
The message of turning worry into a vision is powerful and applicable to anyone who struggles with worry. It reminds us that worry is a natural response to challenging situations but doesn't have to define our lives. By shifting our focus from fear and anxiety to hope and faith, we can transform our worries into a vision for a better future.
Gary Meacham's journey of overcoming worry serves as an inspiration for others facing similar struggles. Through her story, we learn that shifting our perspective and trusting God's plan for our lives is possible. By envisioning a positive future and letting go of worry, we can find peace and live a life free from anxiety. We hope this episode gives you the inspiration and courage to give all your worries to Jesus.
I am wildly cheering you on,

| Discovering God in a Fresh Way | Alita Reynolds & Janet Paolicelli | 27 Jul 2023 | 00:37:51 | |
In life, we all face difficulties and challenges that can shake our faith and make us question our beliefs. Janet Paolicelli shares one such experience in today's show. Janet describes a betrayal she and her family went through with their church leaders, an experience that shattered her trust and made her question her faith. However, instead of giving up on her beliefs, Janet embarked on a journey to find God in this difficult time. Janet's story resonates with many of us who have faced similar challenges within our faith communities. We often look up to church leaders and expect them to represent Christ. When they fail us or act in ways that contradict the teachings of the Bible, it can be deeply unsettling. Janet's experience highlights the importance of not placing our faith solely in the hands of others but seeking a personal relationship with God. Janet's experience highlights habits' significant role in shaping our relationship with God. By prioritizing time in God's word and seeking His presence throughout the day, we can deepen our understanding of His character and align ourselves with His will. Janet's journey serves as a reminder that our faith should not be dependent on external factors or the actions of others but on our commitment to cultivate a close and continuous relationship with God. As we develop these habits, we open ourselves to a deeper experience of God's presence and guidance. I am wildly cheering you on,

| Freedom from Anger | Alita Reynolds and Dr. India Logan | 30 May 2023 | 00:36:39 | |
Have you ever felt like anger was limiting you from accessing more of God in your life? Join us in this episode as Dr. India Logan and I have a deep conversation about the root of anger. India shares how she was so angry and holding onto hurt stemming from a painfully abusive childhood. Her story of redemption and how she developed an early morning bible reading discipline in college that broke down the walls of anger to reveal God’s love story will inspire and challenge you. I love how His love story transformed her into becoming a reflective work of the healing Christ did in her life. I had never heard it put like this when India said, “Anger feels like power while hurt feels vulnerable.” That resonated with me. We all experience hurt throughout our lives, and it is so important for us to submit our brokenness to the healing and redemptive grace of Jesus. India's story can be an example to us all. We can choose to operate from a place of love instead of anger. We can choose to focus on the promises of God and the healing work that Christ did for us and in us. Points to Listen for and Remember

| Defining Moment | Alita Reynolds & Sarah Keller | 28 Apr 2023 | 00:36:12 | |
What’s your motivation? Do you believe that what you do today matters for eternity? How is fear playing a role in what you say “Yes” to in your life journey? Life leadership, taking care of our physical bodies, and defining moments, all these and more are questions Sarah Keller, Co-Pastor of Next Level Church, and I tackle in this episode. Points to Listen for and Remember:
I love how Sarah learned to overcome her fear by believing God’s word. “For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7, and I love how she breaks down this verse. Our feelings can hinder us, but God’s word sets us free! Did you hear that defining moment when Sarah’s husband said, “Ok, well then, we know your lid.”? Oh my, that one got me. It’s so good. How many of you have someone who can speak the truth in a loving way that helps you become more? Wow, one of the most impactful revelations is towards the end of our incredible conversation, when Sarah talks about the difference in forgiveness, reconciliation, and building back trust. Sarah’s truth is that being fearless is not the absence of fear, it's coming face to face with our fear and choosing to trust God! Amen! Praying this episode will encourage and inspire you to a deeper relationship with Jesus! I am wildly cheering you on,
🤍Alita🤍

| The Green Light Stress Zone | Alita Reynolds & Gari Meacham | 05 Apr 2023 | 00:27:33 | |
Stress is real, and the effects on our health can be serious. The breakthrough freedom found in a relationship with Jesus means you can conquer stress and live a better, healthier life. My dear friend and author of Truly Fed, Gari Meacham, holds nothing back when it comes to sharing her life-saving encounter with what she calls her “Southern California Jesus.” She recalls it was one of her darkest hours as she struggled to hide in secret. That pressuring chronic stress led to her unhealthy compulsive behavior that almost took her life. That night, the Jesus she had never known met her in a dorm room at San Diego State, and her journey to freedom began. Gari is so transparent as she and I go into detail about the different levels of stress and how God's word teaches we can break free from the adverse effects on our lives. I get so excited about Gari’s redemptive story, because I know freedom can be yours too. Watch Gari’s response at the end when I ask her, “What's one last piece of advice you want to leave our audience with today? Oh, Wow, what pivotal wisdom she shares!

Seek His Truth | Alita Reynolds & Terry Squires Terry Squires, host of Today’s Nashville show and veteran author, shares her heart and passion to seek the truth and a relationship with Jesus. Terry's creativity throughout her life shines through because she is made in the image of her creative Creator. No matter what God has given you, everybody has struggles and everybody has to overcome something in their life. Terry talks through a lot of her trials in life and what she had to overcome. Through Jesus, her life was redeemed and restored. Quotes to Remember: God shapes us and He builds our character through trials, they can either damage you or develop you, they can make you weak, or they can make you strong. - Terry Squires What I love to do is encourage people to get back, seek Him, seek His face, know who God is. And he'll direct your path. - Terry Squires I think about God offers us the hope that this world cannot offer. And I used to think I wanted what the world happened. I really did. There was so much enticement, there was so much fun, there was so many options in this world. And once I understood that true freedom in my life was when I truly seek Him and His path, and not veering from that path, entering that narrow gate. When I finally understood the freedom, in that my life came, became so vibrant, became so colorful, became so much more fun and free. - Alita Reynolds I’m wildly cheering you on, 🤍Alita 🤍

Ashley Bratcher, the lead actress in the pro-life film UNPLANNED, shares how this role inspired her to become involved in the pro-life movement and fueled her passion for impacting the world positively. Ashley’s message is filled with hope, and Hope is not just a backup plan. Hope is made to root. So let it literally soak into your frame! Even though she has dealt with mental illness, including bipolar disorder and depression, she has learned to give herself grace because God gives her grace. Plus, it has been a blessing for her to have deeper empathy and compassion for other people. Both Ashley and I share our personal stories of our unplanned pregnancies. We share our hearts for those who have chosen differently because they may not have known God’s heart on the value of every life. We discuss understanding women who have chosen abortion brings compassion and grace for them. We desire every woman to know their identity in Christ and find freedom despite any difficult circumstances of their past. Ashley even had the chance to “turn the tables” during our conversation and ask me to share my personal story, the hurts, and the shame I experienced in my past. Ashley comes from such a genuine, vulnerable position to share topics that are sometimes difficult to discuss. And Her graceful heart will leave you wanting to hear from this brave and courageous woman. Quotes to Remember: God sends us boats along our journey to help us through the floods. - Ashley Bratcher We have to embrace people at their lows and show them it's okay to make mistakes and make the wrong decision sometimes or to fall into depression or anxiety. We're only human. We’re not meant to be perfect. We need to meet people where they are. That's our job, as Christians, not to judge them or shame them. It’s to tell them their identity in Christ, which is so important, and to really be there for them. - Ashley Bratcher Hope is saying yes to carrying something before you believe that you can. - Alita Reynolds Hope is not just a backup plan. Hope is made to root. - Alita Reynolds I’m wildly cheering you on, 🤍Alita 🤍 | |||
| Renew Your Mind | Alita Reynolds & Karen Conrad | 22 Nov 2022 | 00:33:19 | |
Entrepreneur and TV Show Host, Karen Conrad, shares her story of how God redeemed her traumatic past and how she has dealt with many trials in her life that could have paralyzed her with fear. Instead, she has chosen to be empowered by Jesus and live an abundant life. One BIG Takeaway: Watch what “movies” you play in your mind. Even when your situations are challenging. Pay attention to where your thoughts go and realign them with truth and scripture. God gave us an imagination for good, not to be captured by the enemy. Instead, steer your thoughts toward Him. Stop the movie in your mind! Ask the LORD to show you what He sees in the situation. Quotes to Remember: God has a purpose and plan for your life. - Karen Conrad When you have a heart to line up with His purpose, He will ensure success. We don’t have to be perfect. Success is already there for you to walk along His path with Him. - Karen Conrad Watch what “movies” we play in our mind - Karen Conrad Fear is a voice that is from the enemy. - Karen Conrad

A Personal Moment: I had a significant realization about my own experiences with anxiety. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of being vulnerable and allowing ourselves to be seen and supported by others. Amy’s Truth Bomb: "The truth will set you free."

| The Healthy Boundaries, Freedom & Conflict | Alita Reynolds & Rita Murray | 31 Oct 2022 | 00:39:06 | |
The Healthy Boundaries, Freedom & Conflict | Alita Reynolds & Rita Murray Educational Psychologist, Coach, and Speaker Dr. Rita Murray and I discuss boundaries and the freedom of setting healthy parameters with those around us. This episode will inspire you to know yourself so that your “yes will be yes” and “your no will be no.” Although Rita’s career and accolades are extensive, her humble spirit shines through because of her intentionality in relationships. Her joyful spirit, on top of her humble spirit, will definitely lead you to be inspired by Rita. Rita Murray shares how she grew up with a remarkable ability to memorize things. For example, she memorized the entire book of Philippians when she needed the Word readily available as she walked through a difficult time.
Quotes to Remember: I laugh at myself more when my husband tells me I’m being overly CONTROLLING. - Rita Murray My first blind date came to the door with a personality assessment for me. - Rita Murray I decided to make a list of qualities that I wanted in a future husband. - Rita Murray In every relationship, we have the opportunity to minister to that person. - Rita Murray “Ain’t it awful” is not found in scripture. - Rita Murray I’m not the best at conflict. I just want to continue to learn and teach others. - Alita Reynolds If you want to learn about yourself, go through the process of being a certified life coach. - Alita Reynolds I am responsible for what is me and not responsible for what is not me. The point of boundaries is for me to understand where I start and where I end. - Alita Reynolds You can live life without constant guilt. You can establish boundaries in your life so that when you say yes – you mean yes and hold to it. When you say no – you mean no – and you will hold to it and know it is the healthiest answer for yourself. - Alita Reynolds I’m wildly cheering you on,

| The World Says Get Skinny, People will Love You More | Alita Reynolds & Michelle Spadafora | 18 Oct 2022 | 00:38:14 | |
Faith and Fitness Coach, Show Host, and Speaker Michelle Spadafora inspires us in this episode as she shares why "The world is saying get skinny, people will love you more" and how to address this lie. Instead, she encourages us to embrace God's love and loving ourselves because of Who created us. What Michelle thought she wanted was a better life for her kids, but she found so much more. She found Jesus. Michelle Spadafora had never been invited to church, had never heard the story of Jesus, nor had anyone who was a follower of Jesus. One day she woke up though and said, “I think we should go to church”. And sometimes you just have to laugh!!! Listen in and laugh with us! Quotes to Remember:

| Real Relationships, Faith Habits, Anger | Alita Reynolds & Lisa Toney | 13 Oct 2022 | 00:31:45 | |
Author, Ministry Leader, and Faith Habits Coach Lisa Toney discusses focusing on scripture and how it seals its way into our heads and hearts. The Holy Spirit can bring it to us right when we need it! Lisa and I talk about having patience and diffusing situations with those who are angry around us. Understanding our anger and where our angry feelings come from fosters the ability to live in peace and develop lasting relationships. Lisa explains when we see someone angry, this secondary emotion is just the tip of the iceberg and how to help them when they are angry. She shares her story of grief and how Jesus promises us that “He will turn our mourning into joy. Joy comes in the morning.” We have an opportunity to look toward this promise so that we can THRIVE. We talk about slowing down and the elimination of hurry to facilitate our meaningful relationships. We discuss how to STOP some bad habits in order to make room for the habits you want to START. If we want to get something different than what we have ever had in our lives, we have to do something different than we have ever done before. Quotes to Remember: Creating habits to strengthen our faith is imperative! - Lisa Toney Memorization freaks everyone out. I get it! - Lisa Toney No grumpy Christians allowed. - Lisa Toney Persevere in Jesus! Persevere in Faith! - Lisa Toney We can’t just keep adding new habits to our lives without removing some old ones. If we want to get something different than we have ever had in our lives, we have to do something different than we have ever done before. - Alita Reynolds We live in such a fast pace world, and we need to just slow down. - Alita Reynolds We want to be JOY filled, overflowing with HOPE. - Alita Reynolds

Before he even coached his first game, the Marine-turned-football coach committed to God that he would give thanks after each game for what the players had accomplished and for the opportunity to be part of their lives through football. This was met with disapproval from his school district and became a lengthy court battle. On June 27, 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Coach Kennedy and his First Amendment rights, and on March 8, 2023, Coach Kennedy was officially reinstated as assistant coach and is excited to be back with his team. Joe and his wife, Denise, are parents to four and currently reside in Pensacola. He continues to speak across the country, promoting freedom of speech. ABOUT ERIC CLOSE: Eric Close is the leading role in Average Joe. He is best known for starring in the hit series Nashville and Clint Eastwood’s movie American Sniper. He directed episodes of Nashville and six films with Crown Media, including A Christmas Love Story and his latest, Sugar Plum Twist.

Gracefully Frank Living in Victory | Alita Reynolds & Haley Scully
"Gracefully Frank" Haley Scully joined me for a deep conversation about:
“There are a lot of people who are never going to become who they thought they were supposed to be." Hear how Haley has learned to live in victory in Christ despite the struggles of her life. If you have ever been far from the LORD, you must listen to Haley’s story. Her honesty about where she was in her life will surely encourage you! As she says, “God was gracious even when I was a ‘Super Sass Mouth.’” When you don’t become who you thought you were going to become, you start to think something is broken or is not right. Haley has experienced these thoughts. She has realized this, though, “He hasn’t changed my story, but He’s changed my perception of it.” You don’t want to miss my “fun friend” and me. We both love living in victory with Jesus, including a lot of laughter!
I’m wildly cheering you on,

| Faith Calling Over Vocational Calling | Alita Reynolds & Paula Faris | 27 May 2022 | 00:42:40 | |
Faith Calling Over Vocational Calling | Alita Reynolds & Paula Faris Award-winning journalist and podcast host Paula Faris shares her personal struggles with identity and fear with me. Paula's book "Called Out" reflects on what it truly means to find your calling. Her passion is for everyone to understand the difference between your vocational calling (which is what you do) and your faith calling (which is who you are). This powerful message will help you find the freedom of God's calling in your life! When I asked her about our calling, Paula said: “There's this message that we're born to do one thing, and we have to find that one thing, right? That one thing is always related to DOING. But guess what? We're going to change jobs, we're going to change careers. If we put our identity in that one career, and we lose it, we are going to have an identity crisis. This is why I think we really need to do a much better job of saying our calling isn't just our career, and our value isn't just our vocation. Our worth isn't just our work. Our purpose should never be tied to a job because jobs are going to change. And if it changes, and your significance is tied up in it, then you're gonna have no idea who you are outside of it. This happened to me, which is why I wrote my book, Called Out.” Paula encourages everyone to press in when facing fear. “Fear of failure is the most common fear that we face as humans. And yet we feel so alone and isolated like you’re the only one that feels like this. Press into fear. Fear is normal.” I hope and pray you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it for you!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Erwin McManus, a remarkable individual who has significantly impacted my life through his unique approach to faith, entrepreneurship, and communication. Erwin is both an entrepreneur and a church leader, a rare combination that has allowed him to finance and grow his church, Mosaic, in innovative ways. We discussed Erwin’s journey of transforming a traditional church into Mosaic, a vibrant community that reaches a diverse group of people, including atheists, agnostics, and artists. Erwin shared the challenges he faced, including financial struggles and internal conflicts, and how his entrepreneurial spirit helped him navigate these obstacles. Erwin emphasized the importance of living a life of excellence, both in the church and in the secular world. He shared personal anecdotes about maintaining high standards and the necessity of continuous improvement. We discussed how Christians can have a significant impact in their workplaces by living out their faith authentically and striving for excellence. One of the key topics we explored was the concept of "Mind Shift," which is also the title of one of Erwin's new books. He explained how changing internal mental structures can lead to success and fulfillment. Erwin highlighted the importance of self-critique and the willingness to grow, even if it means leaving behind people who do not support your growth. Erwin also introduced "The Arena," a learning community he created to help people, especially entrepreneurs, develop their communication, leadership, and character. This platform offers a space for high-level learning and personal development. In closing, Erwin shared a powerful truth bomb: "You are your own ceiling." He encouraged listeners to take responsibility for their lives and recognize that their own limitations are often the biggest barriers to success. For those who are far from the Lord or have not accepted Jesus, Erwin offered heartfelt advice on finding faith and community. He emphasized the relational aspect of faith and the importance of surrounding oneself with people who live vibrant, meaningful lives. This episode is packed with insights and inspiration for anyone looking to live a life of excellence and impact, both in their faith and in the world. 00:00:25 - Guest Introduction: Erwin McManus 00:01:00 - Balancing Entrepreneurship and Ministry 00:01:53 - Financing Mosaic Church 00:03:28 - Challenges in Leading Women of Faith 00:04:22 - Transforming a Traditional Church 00:06:01 - Initial Struggles and Growth at Mosaic 00:08:18 - Starting Mosaic in a Nightclub 00:10:18 - Innovative Communication Style 00:10:51 - Impacting the Secular Workplace 00:12:09 - Real-life Example of Business Coaching 00:13:36 - Living a Life of Hope and Abundance 00:15:49 - Helping Christians Live Abundantly 00:17:04 - Focus on Living Fully Alive 00:18:07 - Advocating for a Spirit of Excellence 00:20:06 - Critique and Continuous Improvement 00:23:34 - Excellence in the World vs. the Church 00:26:11 - Importance of Feedback and Improvement 00:27:23 - Introduction to Mindshift Book 00:28:26 - Origins of Mindshift 00:30:33 - Internal Structures of Success and Failure 00:32:14 - Mindshift's Practical Approach 00:33:32 - Challenging Chapter: You Can't Take Everyone with You 00:35:47 - Changing Friends and Growth 00:36:39 - Encouragement to Read Mindshift 00:37:05 - Erwin McManus Truth Bomb 00:39:11 - You Are Your Own Ceiling 00:40:28 - Introduction to The Arena 00:41:33 - Message to Those Far from the Lord 00:43:02 - Closing Remarks and Farewell CONNECT WITH WOMEN OF FAITH & ALITA REYNOLDS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: ▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/womenoffaith/ ▶︎ INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/alitareynolds/ ▶︎ FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/womenoffaith ▶︎ TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@womenoffaith? ▶︎ TWITTER | https://twitter.com/womenoffaith ▶︎ WEBSITE | https://www.womenoffaith.com ▶︎ NEWSLETTER | https://www.womenoffaith.com/newsletter ▶︎ YOUTUBE | https://www.youtube.com/c/WomenofFaithtv ABOUT ERWIN MCMANUS: Erwin Raphael McManus is a mind, life, and cultural architect and an award- winning author and artist.

| The Forge | Alita Reynolds + Alex Kendrick + Stephen Kendrick | 19 Aug 2024 | 00:22:08 | |
I had the incredible honor of hosting the Kendrick Brothers, the creative minds behind the number one box office hit, War Room, and other impactful films like Overcomer, Courageous, and Fireproof. We discussed their latest project, The Forge, which is set to release in theaters on August 23rd. This new film focuses on discipleship and takes place in the same universe as War Room. The Kendrick Brothers shared the inspiration behind The Forge, emphasizing the importance of men stepping up in their faith and mentoring the next generation. They highlighted how the film portrays a Christian businessman investing in the life of a 19-year-old, guiding him through the journey of discipleship with relatable challenges and triumphs. We also chatted the differences between War Room, which centered on women and strategic prayer, and The Forge, which focuses on male discipleship. The brothers explained their creative process, which involves a lot of prayer and seeking God's guidance to ensure their films are both entertaining and spiritually enriching. A special highlight was discussing Priscilla Shirer's role in The Forge. Known for her impactful performance in War Room, Priscilla returns to play dual roles as twin sisters, adding depth and humor to the film. The Kendrick Brothers also mentioned the various resources they've developed to accompany the movie, including books and curriculums aimed at fostering discipleship. We wrapped up the episode by emphasizing the power of prayer and the potential for The Forge to inspire real-life change. The Kendrick Brothers urged listeners to pray for the film's impact and to use it as a tool for ministry and discipleship in their communities. Don't forget to mark your calendars for August 23rd and visit theforgemovie.com for more information. Thank you for joining us, and let's continue to pray for and support this incredible work!
