You’ve been praying. You’ve been believing. You’ve been doing everything you know to do — and still, you feel stuck. Not because you lack faith, and not because God is withholding something from you. You’re stuck because your mind has never been taught how to believe in agreement with what God already said.

In this episode, I walk you through the missing piece most Christians never learn:
belief alignment — the bridge between where you are and where God is calling you.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between faith and belief
• Why your thoughts carry spiritual weight
• What Scripture actually teaches about renewing the mind
• How to build belief when doubt feels automatic
• The practical 4‑step process to align your thinking with your calling
• A personal story from my own journey that changed everything

This episode will help you recognize what God is already doing in you — and step into who you were always meant to become.

If your faith feels strong but your life still feels stuck, you’re not broken. This episode reveals the missing link between believing God and experiencing real transformation—and the simple shift that begins to change everything.

You love God. You pray. You worship. You believe.
So why does your life still feel stuck?

In this episode of Outside the Pulpit, Lisa Meador brings clarity to a question many Christians quietly carry: Why isn’t my faith producing change?

You’ll hear:

• Why faith isn’t the problem
• What “agreement with God” actually means
• Why transformation starts in the inner world
• A biblical look at how God interrupts us (yes—Balaam’s donkey!)
• A personal story of how God used AI and a weight-loss coach to get Lisa’s attention
• Why focusing on one small transformation practice at a time leads to lasting change
• The simple shift that helps you move from “trying to feel faith” to living from faith

Scriptures in this episode:

• Hosea 4:6
• Romans 12:2

When faith feels heavy and progress stalls, this one question can flip your perspective and open the door to freedom.

• The one question that reframes your entire mindset

• Why this shift matters for your spiritual growth

• How to apply it today (with practical examples)

In this episode, we’re continuing the momentum from last week’s breakthrough conversation. I’m sharing the simple journaling shift that changed everything for me — the one question that helped me uncover hidden beliefs, release shame, and finally move forward.

You’ll hear the real story of how I used this question during my weight‑loss journey, why the first thought is never the real thought, and how adding three little words — “I only think…” — can soften fear and open the door to curiosity.

If you’re a high‑energy woman who feels stuck, this episode will show you the first step toward clarity, movement, and renewed belief.

Description:
As the holiday season unfolds and the year draws to a close, it’s easy to get caught up in comparison, pressure, and the endless pursuit of “enough.” In this episode of Outside the Pulpit, we revisit one of the most powerful truths: You are already enough.

Through scripture, reflection, and a practical journaling exercise, we’ll explore how to challenge the thoughts that whisper otherwise, renew our minds, and anchor our worth in God’s truth.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Why holiday pressures often trigger feelings of “not enough”
• How to guard your heart and renew your mind (Proverbs 4:23, Romans 12:2)
• A journaling prompt to reframe limiting beliefs with biblical truth
• The reminder that you’re not striving for enoughness—you’re living from it

🔥 Episode Overview

This episode is a call to rise, for the ones who know they’re called, who feel the fire burning within, and who are ready to steward what God has already placed in them.

You’ll learn how to break free from limiting thought patterns and step into sacred responsibility. Because the biggest barrier isn’t your past, it’s your pattern. And the battlefield isn’t your calendar, it’s your thoughts.

We’ll walk through a spiritual rhythm I call Journaling with Jesus, a prayerful, practical way to renew your mind using the 5 L’s Framework. This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about clarity, emotional honesty, and partnering with God to move from stirred to stewarding.

🛠️ What You’ll Learn

• Why belief is a choice, and how to choose what God says about you
• How to practice faith-based mind management
• The 5 L’s Framework for renewing your mind:

1. Listen – Tune in to the thoughts rising within

2. Look – Observe and discern their truth

3. Lean – Feel what’s real, with God

4. Let Go – Release the lie in prayer

5. Love – Respond with love for God and yourself

• Why I call this practice Journaling with Jesus: not to be cute, but because it’s how I pray, process, and remember what God is doing
• A bold invitation to stop disqualifying yourself and start stewarding your calling

💬 Mid-Episode Invitation
