  Weighing our worth   Have you ever obsessed over the number on the scale? (Or maybe you still do?)... that was me. I used to strip down naked--I'm talking not even a hair tie, earring, or dribble of pee, before I stepped on the scale every morning to...

    What do you need to unlearn?   My dear friend Karen sent me this wonderful book last week: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse. It is filled with pearls of simple wisdom; the above image is a page that really resonated with me. We have a...

I heard a sermon from Pastor Rick McFarland last week; he shared a great quote: "I want God to say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. Not well, you're done.''🤯 To fulfill our part of the Great Commission (Matt 28: 18-20) and serve God with our YOUnique gifting...

  You > the challenge I don't know who this is for, but the Holy Spirit led me to this message and scripture this week. And as my friend Lori says, "God is in the two-for-business", so I trust this is for someone here...   If it's you,  remember this:...

  Over the course of the last few weeks during meetings with my CEO coaches (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) I further honed my mission: make heaven crowded, make earth healthy. I fulfill this mission through:   My podcast, The Shine with Frannie Show!...

Have you ever messed up on your clean-eating-and-solid-exercise-streak mid-week and waited until the following Monday to hit reset? I've been there, sadly too many times to count. And I've had several rock bottom moments that left me questioning if I would ever have a...

While I hate math, I’ve been obsessed with numbers.

Numbers on the scale
Numbers in my $bank account
Numbers of followers/likes/etc…

But earlier this year, God spoke to me: “Are those numbers the source of your joy or am I?”
BOOM! MIC DROP!😳
So I made a vow with Him that I would not obsess over the numbers of downloads/plays/listeners on my podcast when I started a few months ago. I agreed to look at them monthly.

I just about peed my pants when I looked at them earlier this week! 3000+ plays!

Oh my word! I am so excited! While this might seem insignificant to some podcasters who get 3000 plays per episode, this is something bigger for me. Starting my podcast was an act of courage, faith, and obedience. It was doing something afraid–something I never thought I could/would/should do.
But guess what? Through my podcast, I am sharing the Good News and fulfilling my purpose to help others get healthier, stronger, and more confident using God’s Word–this is part of living a purpose driven life.

Sister, what scary new thing is God calling you to do that will be another step in fulfilling your life’s purpose?

Thank you to all who’ve listened and support the show by sharing, reviewing, commenting, and even financially giving. I am beyond blessed!

Dare to Dream! Did you know that our dreams are a vehicle for a conversation with God? And...God gives you dreams as an invitation to trust Him to do immeasurably more than you could ever ask or imagine! Eph 3:20 That's powerful stuff right there! Is there a dream...

"The Sabbath isn't just a 24-hour time slot in your weekly schedule; it's a sphere of restfulness that goes with you throughout your week, a way of working from rest not for rest, with nothing to prove. It's a way of bearing fruit from abiding, not ambition... The...
