Hello ladies!
Have you ever felt like God has asked you to do something big? Something that challenged you and maybe you even felt this is impossible.
Our guest today has an incredible story of God calling her and she just simply said YES!! That yes has turned into many miracles and blessings from God. Jeni’s one calling or assignment has now turned into a non profit called - 500 turkeys and she along with many, many givers are the hands a feet of Jesus that feed over 1,000 families each year for Thanksgiving.

It is often said when God gives the vision He gives the provision and that has been proven in this amazing testimony of Jeni Bolton.

As you listen to this testimony - you will see how incredible our God is and you will be encouraged that whatever vision you feel God is giving you and feels too big… A simple YES is all He needs. He will provide.

Hey ladies,

Have you ever tried to pick up a fork with a closed fist?? I know it sounds crazy - Why would anyone even try that?
In today’s podcast I share a journey I have been on with the Father. I discovered the Father is pouring His love out and I had my fists closed tight and was not in a position to receive it. Listen in to todays podcast to hear all about the table He has prepared for us with everything we could need, but we must be in a position to take and receive it.

As you walk on your journey - I want to encourage you to let go of what you might be holding on to and turn your hands up and open as you are ready to receive all He is pouring out to you.

Hey ladies,

Have you ever felt like you were just completly lost? Like you know each day is important and has purpose and meaning, but sometimes you just feel like what am I even doing??? Just stuck in the mundane of life….

Friend, I am there with you and I read a devotion the other day that really encouraged me to think more and ask myself - What am I asking God to do? The scripture used was one I have heard so many times - Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.”

I stopped and realized if I truly believe that He can do more than I ask am I asking for enough? I shared some quick thoughts on todays podcast click the link below to listen 💕

The Girl Talk podcast is woman encouraging woman - Send this podcast episode to that friend who you know is stuck in the mundane of life right now - They will feel loved and encouraged that you thought of them to share some encouragement.

Hello ladies,

Lies are everywhere and they are extremely dangerous to our thinking - the more we speak and think them the more embed in our minds they become. The enemy wants nothing more than to trap us in a circle of lies and depressing thoughts. I have found personally the freedoom and peace that comes by recognizing the lies and disagreeing with them.
Friend we have the authority over these thoughts and lies. We are told in scripture to take EVERY thought captive.

Magagnotti and I are sharing some of the commone lies we find in our life and hear from other friends often.

We want to encourage you to listen and search your mind and heart to see if you find any of these lies in your thought process. If so please know there is freedom and peace to be found by getting out of agreement with that lie.

If this episode leaves you with more questions or a desire to chat more about this conversation - My message box is open - I’d love to share with you friend more details on how I have found so much freedom and peace by getting out of agreement with lies from the enemy. 💕

There is so much beauty in living life free from the bo***ge of lies and in agreement with how our Father has called us to live.

Hello ladies,
Have you ever found yourself weighed down with the stress, worry and cares of the day?

⭐️ If you are anything like me - I find myself there many times and sometimes many times in one day.

I read a devotion recently that really helped me see how to cast your cares on God in a different light.
The devotion talked about playing catch with your Father. How fast can you take that worry or stress that you picked up and just throw it right over to your Father. ⚾️
1Peter 5:7 is not a new scripture and most of us have probably had it memorized since we were little, but this devotion shed a different light on the verse and I felt so encouraged after reading it. It was one of those devotions where you feel the smile on your face getting bigger and bigger as you read it becuase you feel His love and peace.❤️

I shared all these thoughts with you today on the podcast - I know you will leave feeling encouraged and share it with a friend who needs the encouragement too. 💕

Hi ladies,
Dawn Magagnotti and I had the opportunity to talk recently; as business owners this conversation came up and we just knew we needed to share some thoughts with you friends.

We are talking about running a business with the Kingdom in mind. We all in some area are “running a business” whether we are running a business, an employee in a business, running a household - We each have a calling and how can we run that calling with the Kingdom in mind especially while we continue to juggle all the areas of life.

❓ Some of the questions we dive into are :

❓Are we seeking the Kingdom first?

❓How do we walk through each day having the Lord first of mind?

❓Are we more excellent than the world?

❓Are we acquiring the knowledge needed?

❓Are we living each day in peace?

❤️Take a few minutes to listen to these thoughts and share with a friend who comes to your mind. Let’s all seek to run each day with the Kingdom in mind first!

Hi ladies,

So often in life we look towards becoming successful, but what is true success?
Often we can look at “success” as an amount of money we have or a level to arrive at in a job, but can we be successful without these?
Is it possible to be “successful” as God would define success and be “poor”?
How can we live each day successful and what does the Bible tell us about success? This conversation with Dawn Magagnotti was so insightful and encouraging.
I encourage you ladies to research and seek the Fathers heart on these questions.
When we can get into agreement with what God calls success and live that way every day we can find a level of peace and freedom that is incredible!
