Leading at Home!

The word “lead” can be an intimidating word to many. For others it is an elusive thought. Can the words lead and home be compatible or is this a foreign thought?

Leading at home (especially a home invaded with teenagers) is our theme and we will be talking to a couple of guests who represent various aspects of leading at home with your teens. Joining us are a guidance counselor, a high school youth pastor and a mother of a teenager!

August 25, 2011

Special Guest, Terry Davis

What keeps you highly motivated in life and living it to the fullest? We recently received an email from a girlfriend who lives in Seattle asking what keeps us motivated amidst the mundane. Her question took us on a journey inside to peel back to think this through. What does keep us or anyone else motivated through the valleys and peeks in life?

As women, leading and staying motivated is difficult – because life happens and when it does it can take us off track and distracted. During our show we will be asking some questions like:

?         How do I stay positive when things get crazy?

?         How do I juggle all my cute hats (friend, counselor, referee, philosopher and disciplinarian) to live focussed and still have fun?

?         How do I keep the big picture when the small things are eating me alive?

Join us as we also hear from Patty of how she escapes into her land far, far away for motivation where sweat and swim goggles are an every day celebration. By contrast, Lisa would rather ride and let the engine run for her, wearing a different kind of goggle on a quad treking through the woods. What motivates you? Let’s motivate each other.

If you found Frank Peretti’s book, “This Present Darkness” intriguing, then join us this week when we introduce you to our guest from California, Rebecca Morgan, ministry leader, graduate of Biola University with her Masters in Philosophy. Rebecca will be unpacking information regarding Spiritual Warfare and revealing what God’s Word says about the war around us and how the power of prayer displays the awesome power and love of God?

Listen in as Brooks Douglass, former Oklahoma state senator, businessman, producer and actor shares how when we forgive someone else, we’re blessed with forgiveness ourselves.

His journey of grasping life with forgiveness and grace while he slowly healed from a senseless crime is intriguing and powerful.

Douglass, whose parents were shot to death by intruders, worked to strengthen Oklahoma's victims-rights laws, including the measure that allowed murder victims' families to witness executions.

Since leaving politics in 2002, he found additional healing in an unexpected place: Hollywood, where he co-wrote a movie called Heavens Rain unpacking his life and the reconciliation from an horrific life changing tragedy.

Listening to his story reveals hope and compassion to the point that you just can’t walk away with out some conviction and applications for leading and living your own life for greater impact!

Justin Hunt

Writer, Producer, and Film Director

In 2006, Justin began a 16-month journey in the production of his first feature length documentary, American Meth. The Val Kilmer-narrated film won multiple film festivals around the country. The movie was released on DVD in early 2008 by Rivercoast Film Distribution, and was one of America's most rented documentaries that year and has been viewed in more thab 50 million homes.

Justin recently completed ABSENT, a documentary that takes a raw, gut wrenching look at the vanishing landscape of fatherhood, and the searing scars an absent father can leave behind. This film also features Metallica's frontman, James Hetfield, author, John Eldridge and legendary boxer, Johnny Tapia.

Listen in live or download later as we discuss this significant topic, it's effects and the hope and healing that can be found. Whether this is your story or not, we all know someone who lives with this reality. You'll walk away with some practical applications for leading and living your own life for greater impact!

"The father wound is so deep and so all-pervasive in so many parts of the world that its healing could well be the most radical social reform conceivable." -Father Richard Rohr

www.absentmovie.com

If you are wondering where God is in all of this, then this show is for you!

Learn how others are bringing light into the darkness, loving people towards Jesus, and experiencing God in supernatural ways. 

This week we are bringing on two dynamic guest, Ryan Russell with WWW.XXXChurch and Robby Dawkins with WWWRobbyDawkins.com

Ryan does an awesome job challenging you to not be apathetic to the darkness, but instead will encourage you to be a solution to our sexually intoxicated world.

We all can live with a purpose beyond personal self-gratification.

Robby was born to missionary parents in Japan, and went on to pastor the Vineyard Church of Aurora, IL.

Having been in over 30 countries around the world, God has used him to help build the church internationally as well. He has ministered in many Muslim countries and in 2 of the top 10 most dangerous countries according to Voice of the Martyrs magazine. 

Steve Twist has worked to promote victims' rights for more than 30 years, providing assistance to Congress, state legislatures, tribal governments, and local organizations in implementing victims' rights statutes and amendments.

Twist believes the one thing that the victims' rights field has not fully used to its benefit is "hard-edge" legal advocacy to set precedents.

"We need lawyers who will stand up in courtrooms representing crime victims and say, 'Your Honor, you can't do this'.”

• How do you define yourself?
• What gets you up in the morning?
• What makes you weep and pound the table?
• What energizes you?
• Do you know who you are and who you are not?
• What’s your outlet for expressing yourself?

• What are your values and where do you get them from?
• How do you live out your values?

Here’s a few highlights and resources from our guests on the show.

Maria Kelley from Moms4FamilyTV

Moms4familytv.com is a national group of moms that encourages better TV for our families. Family TV time is an enjoyable part of our daily life. It is entertaining, enlightening and even educational. But unfortunately, there are very few programs that you can watch together as a family.

A Walk In My Shoes and Change Of Plans are just two recent TV movies that they sponsored and highlighted. More movies are scheduled to be released and each movie has a Dialogue Sheet to use to create communication with your kids.

Jackie Pilossoph, Author

Her newest novel, Hook, Line and Sink Him is a love story about fear of commitment, reflection, and the beauty of devotion and loyalty with the right person.

Jackie discovered that her outlet for life’s disappointments was writing.

Journaling and Writing

• A great gift to give a girlfriend who is in the midst of pain (divorce, loss of a job, etc.) is a new journal.
• Journaling is just putting down your heart thoughts and feelings with no regard to grammatical correctness.
• The best time to journal is when you are in the emotional moment.

Benefits of Writing?

• It is therapeutic and adds to the healing process.
• It allows you to express your real feelings and move on.
• It allows you to see your own personal growth as the months pass.

 What does embracing who you are and enjoying life’s’ moments look like?

“If you want to change your life, begin by changing your words. Start speaking the words of your dreams, of who you want to become, not the words of fear and failure.” -- Robert Kiyosaki,

• Learn to embrace who you are and who you are not!
• Stop the negative self and talk and reframe your thinking of yourself and use more positive words. (We call this Girlfriendaloguing!)
• Be nicer and kinder to yourself – would you really treat others as badly as you treat yourself? Why are we so hard on ourselves and why do we beat ourselves up? (Just a thought . . .)
• We are not just another face in the crowd but have been uniquely and wonderfully made by God!
• Give more . . . your time, resources, money and your encouragement!

Bottom Line:

• Discover You, Uniquely You and give yourself away. You have something to give that someone needs.
• Get involved with life and with people and make a difference.
• Contact us at www.girlfriendit.com and share your story or just connect with us! We are waiting to meet you.

Live it out and let it out live you!

Patty and Lisa dive into an interview with Mending the Soul Ministry.  Mending the Soul started in a living room seven short years ago with a handful of men and women with a passion to help heal those broken by abuse, a conviction that Christ loves and came to heal the broken, and the painful realization that our churches and communities lacked sufficient resources.

We're not just talking politics on the show – we’re talking passion. However, passion can lead you in a direction towards politics, public service, or even to be movement makers. 

If you ask people who are living on the edge of doing the remarkable you will hear them say they are just ordinary people.

Ordinary . . . women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton who passionately pursued equality for women through the Women’s Suffrage Movement. What are you passionate about enough to disrupt your lifestyle?

JD Hayworth is running for the US Senate from AZ and joins our conversation as we talk about various freedoms and the fight to make them happen.

We’ll rap it up with Michelle Reagan, an AZ State Representative, on how and why she entered the crazy world of politics. We just might learn something beyond our history books!

If you knew someone was being raped in the room next to you, would you allow it? How about outside your back door? Susan Ivancie, Director of Development for International Justice Mission, joins Patty and Lisa to explain just how children of the world are literally being stolen and sold, right in our own backyards, for profit. Nearly 2 million children each year are coerced or forced in sexual trade or slavery, generating 12 billion a year for those who organize these heinous crimes--almost double what some successful and legitimate conglomerates gross annually. Listen in this Thursday--or download the show if you miss it--to find out what we're doing to put a stop to this horrible industry, and just what you can do to help.

Patty and Lisa will be sitting down with the author of New York Time’s best-selling author William Paul Young to discuss “The Shack” this Thursday on Toginet.  This is a show you won’t want to miss as Young brings his inspiration for the novel—his two lovely daughters—on the air with him to wax nostalgic about the book’s origins, it’s powerful message, and how the book has shaped their lives.  Don’t miss this interview about a powerful and creative story that has literally touched millions!

Listen in as Girlfriends discover Gallagher’s guide towards making wise decisions, and hear Chuck’s experience-driven response to the question “How can I keep my poor choices from defining who I am?” It’s a truly motivational radio show Thursday at 10 a.m. on Toginet.

A very miraculous show is in store for GirlfriendIt Radio listeners as Patty and Lisa spend this week's show speaking with survivors of the crash of US Airways flight 1549 that has been dubbed "the Miracle on the Hudson".  When a bird strike took out both of the plane's major engines on January 15, 2009, the courageous pilot used years of experience and training to safely land the craft on the Hudson River without the loss of even one of the 155 passengers.

Patty and Lisa will be speaking with two survivors and one air traffic controller from this amazing crash-landing as they relive this monumental event in their lives and share how it happened, what is was like to live through it, and what their survival has shown them about how to make the most of each and every day.

Barry will speak with Girlfriends about creative and downright innovative tips for marketing using technology in today’s tight economy to create awareness about your business or nonprofit group.
