In this episode, we're tackling the idea of valuing what we already have and recognizing the abundance in our lives. It’s one thing to pray and dream big, but do we truly open ourselves to receive big? We'll chat about how personal growth often involves significant pivots and a lot of uncomfortable moments. Sheri shares her insights on navigating these turbulent times with grace, emphasizing the importance of patience and obedience even when things don’t make sense. She opens up about her own struggles and quiet periods of reflection, offering us the lessons she learned on aligning with divine timing.

This episode is a powerful reminder that receiving big requires more than just asking—it’s about letting go of what holds us back and embracing our entire journey, including past versions of ourselves. Sheri’s wisdom will inspire you to not only pray big and believe big but to also receive big.

Show Notes:

[11:05] - There were times where Sheri was going through deep struggles, but she learned why she needed to be quiet.

[13:25] - How can you be obedient when it feels like everything has fallen apart?

[18:03] - Receiving big will mean being obedient even when it doesn’t make sense.

[23:00] - When we get caught up with our vision of God’s timing, we miss the fullness of what he’s releasing to us.

[25:54] - There are benchmarks in our lives that we place markers on. These markers motivate us and they are often times of brokenness.

[30:58] - What beliefs, behaviors, people, and possessions are you willing to release?

[33:58] - You can’t force yourself to try to fix something. You need to let go of the things that are no longer serving you in this season.

[37:41] - Do not demonize previous versions of yourself. Without that person, you would not be.

[39:19] - We tend to have a hard time asking for help. But when we do ask, we think we are asking from a place of weakness.
