The Extraordinary Woman #1 - The Not Yet Life
...To live a “not-yet” life is to be so fully enveloped in today, the not-yet experience, that life revolves around what is happening now as if that is all that there is. Eternity seems so very far away, even though it is with us now. Eternity is an afterthought near the bottom of the to-do list.
To live an “already life” is to live focused upon eternity while checking the boxes on that to-do list. This includes a moment-by-moment realization that as I move through today I can live with the mindset and behaviors of how God sees me – the already version - for that is who I truly am and will always be...
The Extraordinary Woman #7 - Be Where Your Feet Are
...We don’t actually like to be where are feet are. What was or what might be are sometimes much more powerful or enticing than what is happening at this moment. The routine and mundane of life aren’t always as interesting as the drama and possibilities we can conjure up in our minds.
What the past has done to us can still repeat itself endlessly in our minds. What we want the future to be or fear the future will be can captivate us in a way that this moment just doesn’t. When that happens we lose the present. We stop living our lives...
The Extraordinary Woman #6 - Daughter of the King
...Let me ask you something. If you actually believed, not just said you believed, but BELIEVED, that you are a daughter of the King of the universe, would you still apologize for taking up space in a meeting?
Would you still shrink when he raises his voice? Would you still wait for permission to use the gifts God put in you before you were born?
I didn't think so.
This issue is about the ten rights and privileges that are already yours. Not someday. Not when you've earned them. Right now...
The Extraordinary Woman #14 - Line Edit Your Life
...You are not just a character in your story. You are the author.
But somewhere along the way, most women quietly handed the pen to someone else — a parent, a husband, a pastor, a culture — and started living in a genre they never chose.
What if you could edit it? Not erase the hard chapters. Not pretend the plot twists didn't happen. But reframe them from tragedy to testimony, from victim to protagonist.
Because here's what I know: the best stories aren't the ones with no conflict. They're the ones where the main character refuses to stay down...
The Extraordinary Woman #16 - When I Don't Trust God
...I need to tell you something that most Bible studies won't.
It's okay to be angry at God.
David was. Job was. Half the Psalms are basically God's people showing up at His door, pounding on it, and demanding He explain Himself. And here's what's remarkable, He didn't strike any of them down. He answered.
This issue is for the woman who has been performing faith while privately falling apart. The one who smiles on Sunday and screams in the car on Monday. God is not fragile. He can handle you...
The Extraordinary Woman #13 - The Long Journey Home
...Our journey from today to our final, eternal home can be amazing, wonderful, hard, painful, horrifying, filled with tears and with laughter. It can also be mind-numbingly boring and adrenaline-pumping exciting. Mostly it is somewhere in-between.
The thing is, this is a journey we will take – we have no choice. We will walk this path. Even if we determine not to walk, like standing on an airport people mover, we will continue forward even as we refuse to move our feet. While the movement can’t be stopped, there is one choice that we do have in this long journey home...
The Extraordinary Woman #14 - Sovereign Living
...Someone is writing your story. The question is whether it's you — or whether you handed the pen to someone else so long ago you forgot you ever held it.
This issue isn't about self-help. It's about reclaiming what was always yours. Your voice. Your authority. Your God-given right to take up space in your own life.
Some of you have been so well-trained to be small that big feels selfish. It isn't. It's...
Every Month Be Transformation Inside and Out
"I have been in church my whole life and nobody has ever told me these things. I read the first letter and cried for an hour — not because I was sad but because I finally felt seen."
"Dr. Kim says in one paragraph what I have been trying to articulate for years. This letter is not optional for me anymore."
"I was skeptical. I have been hurt by the church and I didn't trust another 'Christian women's thing.' Three issues in and I am not the same woman."
