Ep 195: Your Anchor for Personal Growth with Bianca Juarez

Do you dare to ask more of God, or are you afraid to sound selfish? Hey, fam! In this bonus episode I’m dropping bombs on why settling for 'just enough' is not your design! We're talking about that word 'more'—not the greedy kind, but the abundance God literally wired inside you! Share your abundance mindset shift with me @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Takeaways Asking for more from God is not selfish. We are designed and destined with desire. God wants us to believe Him for more. Desire can be hijacked by trauma and past experiences. The danger of desire lies in greed, not in wanting more of God. God's nature is to provide abundantly for His children. We should not settle for complacency in our spiritual lives. Desire should be directed towards God, not selfish pursuits. We are called to awaken to the more that God has for us. Living in abundance requires action and faith. ⋇ Bianca’s book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancajuaerzofficial.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

In this fiery and faith-filled episode, I sit down with pastor Cesar Delgado and Sam Tenney of Revere Church, to unpack the real, raw, and sometimes ridiculous world of dating in the church.

Topics we dive into: Dating while in ministry—what’s sacred, what’s messy, and what’s misunderstood Why values alignment isn’t just cute—it’s critical Communication, clarity, and calling: the triple threat for intentional relationships Boundaries that protect your heart and your holiness The beauty of waiting, healing, and letting God lead your love story Whether you’re single, searching, or just spiritually curious, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you date, who you date, and why your relationship with God must come first. It’s spicy, it’s soulful, and it’s straight-up necessary. Tune in, take notes, and tag your single besties—because this one’s too good to keep to yourself.

Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guests Pastor Cesar Delgado, Associate Pastor, Revere Church Sam Tenney, Guest Experience Director, Revere Church Takeaways The importance of being candid and real in conversations about dating.

Ever ask: “Can heartbreak be holy?”  In this soul-stretching episode, I pull back the curtain on heartbreak💔—not just the romantic kind, but the quiet griefs we carry from shattered dreams, life pivots, and unmet expectations.  This is the raw and spiritually deep transformative journey from pain to purpose.  I want you to know that grief, when expressed rather than suppressed, becomes a sacred doorway to healing, wholeness, and resilience. And yes, there's space for emotional health, mental clarity, and divine comfort too.  Remember friend: healing is a choice... and God is near the brokenhearted. Feeling seen yet? Share this episode with someone whose heartbreak needs holy hope. And if you’re walking through grief right now, lean into community and let the healing begin. You can start by tagging me on socials @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Takeaways Heartbreak isn’t limited to relationships—it’s the loss of any dream or reality. Suppressing grief delays healing; expression is powerful and necessary. Integrated wholeness includes emotional, psychological, and spiritual health. Pain becomes purposeful when we use it to support others. Community is a catalyst for healing. Healing is not passive—it’s a brave and faith-filled choice. God cares deeply for your pain, and eternity brings perspective to heartbreak. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

Ever feel like you're on a treadmill that won’t quit—always running, always chasing, never arriving? If you're a first-gen firestarter like me, raised with the “work hard or go hungry” grind etched into your bones, this episode is for you. Today, we’re going there. Into the conversation hustle culture doesn’t want us to have. The one about rest. Not the performative kind, but the radical, biblical kind. The kind that reminds us: God never asked us to earn our worth. He called us to Sabbath. This isn’t about ancient rules—it’s about sacred rhythms. Think putting your feet up after a soul-draining week. That’s kind of essential. We’re talking biblical rest, generational exhaustion, and the truth about our identity being tied to production. Spoiler alert: it’s not. In this episode I cover: Why hustle culture has us twisted on productivity and worth What Sabbath teaches us about trust, provision, and identity The 7-year vineyard principle: how rest restores fruitfulness Why saying “no” to nonstop doing is a bold act of faith My personal story of disconnecting from grind culture and embracing rest Let’s unhook our calendars from chaos. Because real rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a declaration. I trust the One who provides. Let me know how you are making rest an essential part of your life by tagging me @biancajuarezofficial. Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Books: A. J. Swoboda - Subversive Sabbath: The Surprising Power of Rest in a Nonstop World   John Mark Comer - The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to stay emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world  Wayne Muller - A Life of Being, Having, and Doing Enough  Takeaways Sabbath is a critical part of my life. Our identity is often tied to our productivity. Rest is essential for emotional and spiritual health. The modern work culture is leading to exhaustion. Sabbath is a commandment that brings blessings. We need to shift from a factory mindset to a field mindset. Overworking leads to decreased efficiency and increased anxiety. Finding rest is a way to honor God and ourselves. Our worth is not defined by our achievements. Sabbath is about loving God and enjoying life. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!

You ever feel like you're surrounded by a million "likes" and "followers" but still feel completely... invisible? Like, are we just screaming into the void of the internet, or is somebody actually seeing us? And speaking of being seen, has God really noticed all the hard work you're putting in? It's a lot, I know!  In this episode I aim to convey that: You are SEEN by God, especially when you feel invisible. Don't look to people for validation. Go to El-Roi! Even in the desert moments, God is there. Your cry to be seen? God hears it. The next time you feel unseen, turn to God and say, "El-Roi, you are the God who sees me." You are NOT alone, my friend. If this episode touched your heart like a good mariachi song, share it with your friends and leave a review! And don’t forget to tag me @biancajuarezofficial. We need to lift each other up. And remember, God sees you, even when you feel like nobody else does.  Until next time,  B RESOURCES/LINKS Takeaways Feeling alone in a crowd is a common experience. The desire for validation is deeply rooted in human psychology. Leadership can be a challenging journey filled with uncertainty. Hagar's story illustrates the struggle of feeling unseen. Being seen by God can provide profound comfort and validation. The need to be recognized is essential for emotional well-being. Isolation can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. God's recognition is more important than human validation. The journey of faith often involves waiting and uncertainty. We are all seen by God, even in our darkest moments. ⋇ Convoy of Hope - Empowering Women and Girls Together Donate here https://convoyofhope.org/bianca/  ⋇ Bianca’s new book Grit Don't Quit: Developing Resilience And Faith When Giving Up Isn't An Option. https://amzn.to/3MO74OC  ⋇ The Grit Don’t Quit Bible Study is now available. https://www.biancaolthoff.com/gdq  ⋇ So grateful to our sponsors!
