You don't need to fear today or the future because you are untouchable. The same mercy of God that sent Jesus to save you still works in your life once you are born again so that darkness holds no power over you. Today I share three witnesses with you that you are untouchable:"We are convinced that everyone fathered by God does not make sinning a way of life, because the Son of God protects the child of God, and the Evil One cannot touch him." 1 John 5:18 TPT"The fear of the Lord leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble." Psalm 19:23 NIV"Now you understand that I have imparted to you my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority." Luke 10:19 TPTAnd that my Stress Buster friend, is either true or it's not.  What will you believe?If you enjoy this podcast and want to learn how to take these stress busting principles deeper and further into your own life so you can live a life of freedom from stress, worry and fear, CLICK HERE to schedule a free session to hear how I can help you.

God gave us emotions but did He mean for us to be on an emotional rollercoaster ride every day?  One moment we are peaceful, then we get out of bed (lol).  Then the next moment we are stressed to get us and the kids out the door.  The next moment we are settled into routine and everything is calm and manageable and along  comes trouble!  We get hit in the face with regret or embarrassment or anger.  The days are up and down and some days are down and down.  You might even be screaming, "Get me off this ride!"  Stressors bring along with them chaotic emotions that make us long for the days of calm and control.

Oh, the insanity of expecting our stress levels to change without us changing anything.  When we don't make those changes we just keep going in circles with our stress.  Round and round we go fighting the same stress battles year after year.But how many of us are working on the needed changes and what are the needed changes? Much of our reaction to stressors is learned and then repeated over and over until it becomes automatic.  In this podcast, we are exploring how the pathways in our mind are created that keep us making the same decisions and reactions that result in us being stressed.  Then I'll show you a new and better way.The Stress Buster Coach Resources referenced during the podcast:Amazon Bestselling Book: What Are You Looking At?  Finding Joy In the Chaos & Monotony of LifeThis podcast episode is sponsored by my 90-Day Stress Detox Group Coaching Experience.  God wants to fully release your soul into a place of complete freedom, lightness and joy.  You’ll learn how to do that in this 90-day transformation experience.  You’ll discover how to release those weights of stress that you have been carrying, lose the burden and get your life back.This is for the burned out, overwhelmed Christian woman who wants to get long term stress busting results and not just quick fixes.  If you realize something has to change, I know I can help you because all of my personal 1-on-1 coaching clients have said the program was life changing for them.  Use this link to schedule a free call with me to learn more and see if this 90 Day Detox Group Coaching Experience is a good fit for you.    Spaces are limited and special discounts are in place for a limited time so book your call now.

When the body becomes overly stressed and hyperstimulated, it can interfere with, and even prevent, our God given "Sleep System" from working properly.  Research has found that if a person gets 5 to 6 hours sleep per night rather than 6.5 to 8 hours, the body produces almost 40 percent more cortisol throughout the day than it normally would as a way of compensating for the reduction in sleep. A vicious cycle of high cortisol leading to insomnia that then leads to stress which produces more cortisol which leads to insomnia....well you get the idea.So, listen to this podcast to get 17 simple ideas that can help you get to sleep faster, stay asleep longer and get a more restful sleep.Want to get notified every time there is a new episode?  Head to >> https://www.thestressbustercoach.com/podcast
