If you're like me, then you want the story of your life to make a big splash- a meaningful impact in the world. The most important part of that, of course, is the way you live your life. The other part is how you reflect on the life that you're living. I try to do that through the stories I tell.
If you want to make an impact with your words, then you're going to want to listen to today's new podcast episode and take a load of notes.
Allison Trowbridge is the founder and CEO of Copper (www.meetcopper.com), a platform using curated content to help people gather in meaningful community.

There are people who are one coaching session away from radically changing the trajectory of their lives. We all dream about making a difference in other people's lives. Some of us are called to make a deliberate, focused impact through the work of coaching.
It's what we're all wired for- to make a real difference. More than just the desire, though, affecting change in other people's lives is serious business, with core competencies and tools you can learn and implement. There are people close to you who...
Feel like they're missing out on a different life, a life that others seem to experience.
Were hoping that it would've all just worked out by now, but it hasn't.
Wondering if this life is as good as it gets.
Who will intervene and guide them to a different reality?

Also, we have two Dream Big live workshops coming up in December and January. Join Bob Goff at The Oaks December 6-8 for a three-day experience and bring your dreams along! What better way to prepare for the new year than to prioritize your dreams, set some goals, and make them a reality. Your dream might seem ridiculous, but not here. The bigger your dreams are, the better.
The Dream Big framework is Bob's personal outline to dream execution in a straightforward 7-step approach. You'll spend 3 days hearing from Bob's experiences and collaboration with a tight-knit collective of other dreamers like you. During the sessions, Bob will help you stop hitting the wall and repeating the same mistakes when trying to start your dream. He'll come alongside and show you how to make room in your everyday life to make your goals happen.
The recipe for success pairs Bob?s expertise with an intimate, small group setting where your dream will get focused attention and a tangible action plan. As a result, space is limited so reserve your spot today.
We can?t wait to Dream Big with you at The Oaks!
If we don?t learn to rest, we will burn out. We will run out of motivation, willpower, ambition, and strength to just keep trying a little harder. But here?s the good news - God never burns out. He is capable enough and strong enough to carry our burdens for us, to fill us with his strength, to drop the solutions we?re looking for into our minds, and to renew our passion when we think it?s lost. All we have to do is go to him, place our burdens and worries into his more than capable hands, and learn to rest in his provision and direction. When we run to him, God will equip us with exactly what we need to keep running our race, even when it?s hard, but if we try to do it all on our own, we will run ourselves into exhaustion. This episode will empower you to discover a habit of rest that recharges your soul, refreshes your spirit, and renews your passion so you can keep moving forward full of peace and joy.

We?re celebrating Thanksgiving this week with the spiritual discipline of thankfulness! (Look at how that worked out). The Cultivate podcast is back at my kitchen table, and I?m ready for you to pull up a chair. As we prepare our Thanksgiving menus, this is a week to also prepare our hearts.
We?re looking at 1 Thessalonians and how Paul specifically gives thanks to God for the PEOPLE in his life and ministry. And also his reminder for us to give thanks in all situations. As we approach this holiday season surrounded by friends and family, how much more meaningful it will be if we give thanks for how the Gospel is working in those we love.

Why are you holding yourself back from the life you long for? From an abundant life full of joy and purpose. From the new career you want to explore, the deeper friendships you long for, a college degree or a healthy loving relationship. Is it because you don?t feel qualified or think that you don?t have what it takes? Maybe it?s because you?re afraid you?ll lose friends by making a big move, get hurt if you put yourself out there in relationships, or that you?ll look like a fool if you fail. We?ve certainly all had those seasons in life where we feel stuck, a bit parazlyed even by our own fear. And no matter what is causing us to be afraid, the way out is to realize that, with God on our side, we have nothing to lose. Fear is natural, but small lives are ruled by big fears. And you were created for a wide-open, expansive life - not a small one. This episode will empower you to confront fear, commit to getting unstuck, and develop the courage to take risks so you can experience the abundant, purpose-filled life you were made for.

Are you living a life rooted in victory, or are you living a life striving for victory? If you are a follower of Jesus, victory has already been won for you. Victory over your past hurt, over your brokenness, over every setback and hurdle that may still be to come. As a child of God, you do not have to strive for victory - you can walk confidently in freedom. The victory that Jesus won for you lives on the inside of you by the power of his Spirit. Living a life rooted in victory may be counter-cultural, but that?s exactly why it?s so important. It is one opportunity we have to bring heaven to earth, to bring God?s hope to hopeless situations, his light to the darkness. This episode will empower you to be a mighty witness for the Kingdom of God by walking in freedom and victory, even in the face of hurt, disappointment, and setbacks.

It's normal to be resistant about stepping out of your comfort zone and into something you aren't familiar with. Why wouldn't you be hesitant? That's where the unknown is and where the danger lies. But, as we talk about on the episode today, "You don't have to know everything about something in order to walk into it."

How you see yourself has a massive impact on how you live your life - the choices you make, the dreams you pursue, and the legacy you leave. So I wonder: how do you see yourself? Do you believe you just happen to be alive on the earth at this moment in time? Or do you believe God created you on purpose, with a purpose, for such a time as this? Only one of those is true, and it is this: God created you with a unique purpose and put you on the earth in this generation for a specific reason - to impact your world for God?s glory. Your world may be within your family, your neighborhood, your workplace, or the actual global universe. That?s up to you and God. But he created you in his image with exactly the gifts and talents he wants you to have to serve the people around you. Do not waste a minute of your precious life thinking you don?t matter or that you don?t have what it takes to do much good. This episode will empower you to see yourself as God sees you and walk fully in your God-given purpose as you impact the world around you for the Kingdom.
