Podcast Episode #314: The Secret Place with God. Where Your Authority is Restored

Dwell in the secret place.There is a place that God reveals to those who are willing to enter.A place that is not defined by circumstances, or what is happening around you, but by His presence.In this place, you are not weak… you are strengthened.You are not vulnerable… you are covered.You are not defined by what you are facing… you are anchored in who He is.This is the place where you begin to see differently, speak differently, and walk with a level of authority that cannot be taken from you.It is not a distant or unreachable place.It is the secret place.The place where you stand with your Father, where fear loses its voice, and where every lie that once tried to define you is exposed.In this place, what once felt overwhelming no longer has the power to control you.From this place, you speak with authority… not as someone striving to become, but as one who already belongs.As co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17), as children of God (Galatians 3:26), you begin to move from a position of identity, not from insecurity.I encourage you… spend time in the secret place with God.I also encourage you to read or listen to my book “necessary.” chapter titled ‘The Secret Place.’ Audiobook and videobook at UnlockingGreatness.comMuch love,Z.

You’ve Outgrown Where You AreThere comes a point where staying where you are is no longer an option.Not because you haven’t been trying.Not because you haven’t been carrying weight.But because something in you has grown… and where you are, can no longer hold it.You may feel the pressure.You may feel the resistance.You may even feel the cost of what it will take to move forward.But that pressure is not there to break you.It is there to reveal that you cannot remain the same.In this episode, I walk through the tension of growth, the weight of responsibility, and the reality that elevation comes with a price.I read from Chapter 15 of my book “necessary.” chapter title, ‘The Price of Elevation,’ and confront what it means to move forward even when it is uncomfortable, unfamiliar, and resisted.We are waiting on what you carry.Scripture reminds us in Matthew 17:20 that nothing will be impossible for you.The question is not whether you can.The question is whether you will move forward.You’ve outgrown where you are.I encourage you to read “necessary.” Available in all bookstores, including Amazon.

Sometimes the hardest battle in life is not external. It is the quiet lie we begin to believe about ourselves.In this episode I share what I have been learning through grief counseling, conversations with people from around the world, and the many clarity calls I have been hosting recently.I have spoken with leaders, entrepreneurs, and dreamers from many different places, and one thing keeps showing up again and again. Many incredibly gifted people are carrying exhaustion, doubt, or a quiet belief that they are not enough.We talk about why environment matters, why we need the right people around us, and what the story of Moses and Jethro teaches us about wisdom, counsel, and avoiding burnout.We also discuss identity, calling, and the truth found in Scripture about who we are and what has already been placed inside of us.If you have ever felt stuck, discouraged, or unsure of your direction, this conversation will encourage you to keep moving forward.Much love,Z.

You may not realize this, but you are a champion in the Spirit. You are a mighty warrior.Let’s discuss what truly makes a champion, and how champions rise in the very moment they have fallen.It is not the absence of battle or temporary defeat that makes a champion. It is the decision to STAND again.My prayer is that this Unlocking Greatness podcast episode shifts your perception so that you can see the invitation from God to return to your original design.If you are ready to renew the way you see yourself and strengthen your identity, the Unlocking Greatness Community is where this work continues each week with live workshops for spiritual, personal, and entrepreneurial development.I love you all.Z.Zenja GlassAuthor of “necessary.”Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass#zenjaglass #necessary #unlockinggreatnessVisit https://www.UnlockingGreatness.com

This is a call to return HOME. This is a call to get back to the original intention God had in mind when He created us.  We must walk in love, authenticity, truthfulness, humility, and in the power and wisdom God gives us.In this episode, I share about a situation I did not expect to happen after a speaking engagement, but I am glad it did. It was necessary. It was my breakthrough moment. Sometimes our greatest weaknesses can become our greatest strengths if we are willing to reveal our scars to the world so that others may find beauty within themselves.I pray this podcast episode greatly blesses you all. And I hope to see many of you one day soon inside the necessary retreat. We are moving as ONE global family to walk this Necessary Journey together. I love you all.  Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Access “necessary.” Audiobook [Pay What You Want] at: https://www.UnlockingGreatness.com Visit: https://www.UnlockingGreatness.comListen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!

When you first see a diamond fresh out of the ground, it doesn’t sparkle. It doesn’t even look valuable. It looks like dirt… dull, rough, irregular. But it’s a diamond all the same.You may feel like that right now… buried, overlooked, or unsure of your value. Especially if you’re a business owner or walking through a challenging season. I’ve been in that space too...questioning and being refined. But God reminded me of something powerful: you are a diamond, even if you’re still in the rough.I pray today you open your eyes to see what God sees... value, purpose, brilliance, and strength. You were placed here for a reason. You are being refined for a reason. And you are more precious than you realize.#unlockinggreatness #zenjaglass #unlockinggreatnesspodcast #necessaryVisit https://www.UnlockingGreatness.com

The Courage to Surrender: How to LAUGH at the Days to Come!God has been pressing into my spirit… the quiet strength that comes from surrender. Not giving up, not shrinking back, but that deep, holy confidence of knowing exactly who you belong to and surrendering every circumstance to Him.Life, family, business… we are all walking through different seasons. Some are heavy. Some feel confusing. Some stretch us more than we ever imagined. But God reminded me of the Proverbs 31 woman, reminding me that she can laugh at the days to come. Why? Because she knows her Father. She knows her Overseer. She knows the enemy is limited.And if she can live with that kind of confidence, why can’t we?So I ask you (and myself) this question…Can you laugh at the days to come, even in stress, anxiety, or uncertainty?The heartbeat of true surrender is remembering who guides our steps and who wrote our story before we ever lived a single day.No matter who you are... man, woman, married, single... this confidence is for you. This peace is for you. God is with us.We can laugh at the days to come!Where to Purchase “necessary.”Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Access “necessary.” Audiobook [Pay What You Want] at: https://www.UnlockingGreatness.com #necessary #zenjaglass #unlockinggreatnessVisit https://www.UnlockingGreatness.com

Before you respond to any situation in your life, any phone call, any text message, any disruptive thought, negative people, self limiting beliefs, unexpected circumstances or challenges, etc… ask yourself one question: Is It Bearing Fruit? In other words, will my involvement, time, reaction, response, etc., serve the purpose God has for my life, and will it keep me in alignment with my vision and goals?I encourage you to read: Galatians 5:22-23 to learn more about the fruit of the Spirit. By Zenja Glass, mentor and author of “necessary.”Audiobook available exclusively at https://www.UnlockingGreatness.comMuch love,Z.Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja GlassVisit https://www.UnlockingGreatness.com

There is a spiritual battle happening all around us... fear, distraction, doubt, and exhaustion trying to steal our peace. But God reminds us in Galatians 6:9, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”This is a powerful message about standing firm in faith, putting on the full armor of God, and recognizing the lies of the enemy. The battle has already been won... but we must stay grounded in truth, rooted in God's Word, and surrounded by people who strengthen our spirit.Don’t give up. Don’t lose heart. God is still in control… and His light inside of you cannot be defeated.I encourage you to read Chapter 1 and Chapter 24 titled, "A Letter to the Enemy - Part 2" from my book "necessary."Book:The audiobook for “necessary.” by Zenja Glass is now available as 'Pay What You Want' exclusively at https://www.UnlockingGreatness.comAvailable also as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.Mentorship:Join the Unlocking Greatness Community LIVE WORKSHOPS with Zenja Glass at: https://www.UnlockingGreatness.comPodcast:Listen to Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!
