Jesus: The Way, The Truth, The Life

by starkeycoaching, posted in christian, Christian Women

When WE call on JESUS

ALL things are possible.

As someone who experienced anxiety and depression for a good portion of my life due my circumstances, I know how it feels to see no light at the end of the tunnel.

You can search your entire life to find peace in the chaos.

You won’t ever find true peace til ya find Jesus.

I’ve witnessed miracles.

I’ve experienced miracles.

I’ve experienced that true peace.

Jesus saved me on earth from taking my life.

Jesus saved me from hell by taking me back from Satan.

Those who doubt the Lord’s existence; the devil even knows He is real.

It’s easy to doubt.

Even as a Believer who has seen the things and heard the stories, the enemy does still try to cause doubt.

But know what’s funny? The more I poopoo on the enemy and teach about the Armor of God, the more of an attack I experience.

Why would that happen if all of it is fake?

Do you think “the universe is mad that I’m poking at a make believe satan in a make believe spiritual realm and standing FOR a ‘make believe God’”?

Forget all the people you know who profess to be a Christian but then treat you horribly.

If you experienced church hurt, forget about those people and the things they did.

Get to a quiet place, pray for WISDOM, crack open that dusty Bible, and start reading.

If you don’t have a Bible, download the free Bible app and start reading.

Praise GOD, not people.

Praise GOD, not denominations.

Praise GOD, not churches.

Allow the TRUTH to show you the WAY to experience LIFE abundantly.

Self-Love: A Biblical Perspective

by starkeycoaching, posted in christian, Christian Women, Encouragement for Mom

Growing up in the south, we ALWAYS heard “love your neighbor as yourself”.

In my life, it was often put in the light of “go above and beyond for everyone and put yourself last.” That’s the exact opposite of what Jesus is saying in that verse. I was shown over and over by other’s actions that loving myself and wanting to do something for myself or something that brings me joy=selfish.

You can’t take care of others if your cup is empty. You can not do the best for others if you do not do the best for yourself. You aren’t meant to work yourself to death, day in and day out to please all the people.
God did not create us to be used and abused by ill-intended people.
God created us for relationship with Him. He loves us. He cherishes us.

Loving your neighbor as yourself means loving yourself is NOT a sin. Taking care of yourself? Also, not a sin. You have permission to love yo’self! Jesus wants us to do the best to take care of us and our temple, and THEN we can love others the same way.

Just like on the airplanes we are taught to put our oxygen mask on FIRST, and then help others. That applies to ourselves in our day to day mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health as well.


I’d love to hear in the comments below how YOU fill up your cup and show yourself some love!

Christian Creator and Online Bullying

by starkeycoaching, posted in christian, Christian Women, Encouragement for Mom, Spiritual Warfare

This popped up in my brain so I thought I’d share an older FB post….

Picture it: 10PM on Valentine’s Day. Kids finally in bed and hubs and I are watching a show on Netflix. 📺

👩‍❤️‍👨 Minding my own bidness and watching the good guys beat up the bad guys…when I get an unsolicited message. 🤯

Not only did this person wrongfully attack my character, they kinda sorta threatened me.

And before I could even respond, they blocked me. 😅

It was bizarre and I was confused. 😵‍💫

I thought I was being overly emotional, but then hubs asked “this person doesn’t know where we live…right…?”

And when I opened up my group text with my ladies I refer to as my Prayer Sista’s….they echoed what Hubby said. 😬

I was triggered by this situation.

😡I was being gaslit and threatened which made me big mad for all the different reasons you could think of.😤

I WANTED to react, but instead I paused to pray 🙏🏼 and before I could RESPOND, I was blocked. 🤪🤪

A few takeaways…

1) the devil DO be out here using people to hurt us and set us back.👹

2) we are capable of resisting the devil and his tactics. 🛑

3) God has given us many tools throughout His Word to combat the things of this world. ✝️

4) when HE is our foundation…things WILL be okay. 🪨

5) it’s okay to not feel okay sometimes. Just keep reminding yourself who and WHOSE you are. 🌞

If you wanna be cool and eat bugles off your fingers while resisting the devil…well.

I’ve got the perfect group for you! 🤪💜 My free group is here. Fill this out real quick and I’ll get back with ya soon about my membership group! Would love to share virtual bugles while we learn all the tools to keep us from being swallowed up by this crazy world!

Chasing the American Dream

by starkeycoaching, posted in christian, Christian Women, Encouragement for Mom

“We have become perhaps the most emotionally exhausted, psychologically overworked, spiritually malnourished people in history.” -A.J. Swoboda

I agree. I see it every single day with 99% of the women I speak with.

God instructs us to “be still and know that HE is God.”

Yet all we do is hustle and bustle for the American Dream.

What about the “God Dream” for your life?

Does your life line up with what God has called you to do?

Perhaps that is the main reason you feel so much busyness and exhaustion; like you are lacking peace.

Are YOU living the God dream life or hustling for the American dream? Are you content with not? If you’re not, fill this out and i’ll be in touch with ya ASAP.

Weedy, Rooted, Thoughts

by starkeycoaching, posted in christian, Christian Women, Encouragement for Mom

Look at the roots coming off of the root. 🤣😵‍💫

These evil FRUITLESS raspberry plants took over a flowerbed in my backyard. 😡

For 3 years we kept waiting for berries…none ever came. 😭😭😭

This has been a 6 month process to pull all these stupid things up because they are SO mean and pokey. And when ya get poked real good (through the gardening gloves, FYI) that thorn causes your finger to hurt for days! 😩😣😥

🧠 As I fought with these evil thorns, I thought of Jesus cursing the fig tree! I also realized our minds are a lot like my flowerbed-taken over by weeds.

You let one “weed” in, and those suckers will multiply faster than you can imagine. The roots will have roots, will have roots, AND will have roots.

What weedy thoughts are you allowing in your mind? Be careful to not let them take over.

Taking thoughts captive was a command from the Lord. Not just so that we have another rule, but to keep us safe. If you need help with this, get in touch with me! This is my passion. My specialty! 🙌🏼

No Sword without the Word?!

by starkeycoaching, posted in christian, Christian Women, Spiritual Warfare

Yesterday morning I woke up with this word from Him, “you can’t have the sword without the Word.”

What is the ONLY method of OFFENSE in the Armor of God?

The sword of the Spirit aka the Word of God! ( Eph 6:10-20) 😱

If you don’t know the Word, you aren’t fully equipped for the biggest lip sync battle of your life against the enemy that wants you miserable and lonely.

This isn’t a Debbie Downer “scare you straight” type of post.

This is a “God gave us what we NEED, and this is how you USE IT” kind of post.

Plug in to the Word so you can always have your sword sharpened. 📕

You can’t have a sword without the WORD! 🗡️

Drama or Trauma?

by starkeycoaching, posted in christian, Christian Women

“Omg stop being so dramatic about everything.” 💅🏻

“Don’t tell her. Ya know how she is suuuch a Sensitive Sally.”

Anyone else been called “Sensitive Sally” or is that just me? Maybe it’s some other variation of the word. 🤮🤮🤮

What if it’s…. ✨TrAuMa✨

You ain’t no drama mama, you’ve just had too much trauma!

Ya know what, maybe you ARE a sensitive sally, but ya know what I AIN’T?? 👇🏻😉

Callous and self-centered.

I had this talk with my 9 year old yesterday, “If you don’t go to certain people for advice, then DON’T take their opinions or criticism to heart.” If they don’t have YO BEST INTEREST at HEART, then whoooo kerrrs what they say?!?!

SO MANY deal with this eerrrrry single day. Stop it.

WWJD!! What WOULD Jesus do? Well, I’d say HE is pretty sensitive. Do you think our Heavenly Father bottles up OUR TEARS just because He think a zillion tear-filled jars would look good on His shelf? 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Orrr, maybe perhaps it’s because we are made in HIS image and HE cries? He KNOWS how WE feel because…HE created us? 👀

Maybe because when Lazarus died, He WEPT. He knew Lazarus was gonna pop right back up in a bit, but still, He WEPT.🤷🏻‍♀️

So, stop listening to the haters. 🙅🏻‍♀️

If you need an encouraging group to surround and uplift you, and cry with you rather than roll their eyes at you, I provide that place.👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏻👯‍♀️🙏🏻

It’s full of love and prayer warriors for other “Drama Mama’s and Sensitive Sally’s” like me and you! 🙄 (Except, we don’t call you that. We call you your regular ol’ name because these are regular ol’ emotions that we were gifted. Emotions that should be seen as gifts.)

Anyway, stepping down from my soap box.

Click here if you want to info on my membership group.

Because we are awesome and would love to welcome you with open arms and love you like Jesus does! 😍😁😊

No Weapon Formed Against Us

by starkeycoaching, posted in christian, Encouragement for Mom, Spiritual Warfare, Uncategorized

Every time I hear the scripture “No weapon formed against us shall prosper”, I think of We the Kingdom’s “Don’t Tread on Me.”
That song is such a battle cry. When I’m struggling and feel the enemy trying to really weasel his way into every aspect of my life, my favorite thing is to crank up this song and sing/scream it at the top of my lungs. Guaranteed to feel better each time!
I’d like to break down this verse with y’all and hopefully offer more insight of what it actually means and how we can apply it to our lives.

Isaiah 54:17a “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you… “

There WILL be weapons. When you became a daughter of the King, you were promised His blessings. It also means you inherit His enemies as well.

Ephesians 6:12 tells us who is behind the weapons: the rulers, authorities and the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. It actually says that our struggle isn’t against flesh and blood BUT against that long list of evilness I just listed.

The enemy will do everything in his power to knock you off the straight and narrow. The devil ain’t after the non-believers, y’all. He is after YOU. Don’t let that scare you. It’s a good thing, because it means you’re ON the right track! James 1:2-3, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” The enemy is scared of YOU. I know, I can hear you laugh from here. He is afraid of all the goodness you are going to do for the Lord’s kingdom, and the devil is a sore loser.

Forged…some versions say “formed”, but NIV says “forged”. Forged is defined as something that is created, made, shaped. The devil doesn’t attack everyone in the same way. He makes the perfect weapon to try and “neutralize” you against the kingdom of God.

Now, let’s define Prevail…


So yes, while there will be weapons, none of them will be victorious against you.
What a sigh of relief, right?

“you will refute every tongue that accuses you… “

Now, on to the second snippet of the scripture… refuting. To refute simply means to disprove (or to prove that someone is wrong).

People can talk ALLLL the want about you; but the truth will ALWAYS be brought to light. (Luke 8:17) It’s just all in God’s timing and sometimes that can frustrate us mere humans so much!

I hope this breakdown helps you to understand this verse better. Soon we will talk about ways to stand firm against that sneaky snake who tries to knock us off course.
