Episode 229-Stop Burying Your Gifts: God Didn't Create You to Live Small with Apostle Desireé Andrews

What if the biggest obstacle to your calling isn't your ability, but your perspective? In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I sit down with Apostle Desireé Andrews for an honest conversation about identity, calling, courage, and learning to trust the gifts God has already placed within you. From her powerful encounter with God while serving in Saudi Arabia during Desert Shield and Desert Storm to decades of ministry, Desireé shares what she's learned about stepping beyond fear and fully embracing God's purpose. Together, we discuss: • Why people often hide the gifts God has given them • The Parable of the Talents and what it reveals about our view of God • How fear and limiting beliefs keep us living beneath our calling • Walking in spiritual authority with confidence • Trusting God one step at a time • Living from Christ's victory instead of striving for it I also reference my companion teaching: Higher Level, Higher Devil? The Lie Exhausting Christian Leaders and the Truth That Sets You Free. If you'd like to go deeper into understanding your authority in Christ and living from the finished work of Jesus, be sure to watch that teaching as well.🎥 https://youtu.be/OCuxNtNIy8U Connect with Apostle Desireé Andrews: Website: https://www.iKingdomMinistries.org https://www.instagram.com/ikingdomvisionary Learn more about Donna Tashjian and Vibrant Living International: https://www.ivibrantliving.com.

Episode 228 - The 7 Lies That Quietly Drain Your Life... Because They Feel Like Wisdom | Part 1

Some of the most dangerous lies don't sound like lies. They sound like wisdom. They sound spiritual. They sound like discernment, responsibility, or even maturity. That's exactly what makes them so costly. In Part 1, we uncover the first three lies that quietly keep many women braced, guarded, and fighting battles they were never meant to fight. In this episode, we'll explore: #1 What Is Keeping the Peace Costing You? Could what you've been calling peace actually be self-protection? #2 Are You Expecting the Battle Before the Day Even Begins? What if preparing for difficulty has quietly become your default posture? #3 Are You Fighting for Something Jesus Already Gave You? What changes when you stop fighting for victory and start living from it? 🧡 Join our FREE Vibrant Living Skool Community 🍂 Come Away | October 9–10, 2026 An Invitation Into Rest, Intimacy, and the Fullness of the Life Jesus Paid For.

Episode 227-You Were Never Meant to Stay Hidden | Finding Your Voice, Confidence & Calling with Becky Hancock

Sometimes the greatest obstacle isn't a lack of ability. It's the quiet belief that says, "Maybe I should stay in the background."In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I welcome online presence strategist Becky Hancock for a conversation that moves beyond branding and into something much deeper. Together we explore why so many women hesitate to use their voice, how fear of visibility affects both our lives and our businesses, and why stepping into greater visibility isn't about self-promotion. It's about faithfully stewarding the vision and influence God has entrusted to us. Drawing from nearly thirty years of experience in branding, graphic design, and web development, Becky shares practical wisdom about building an authentic online presence that reflects who you truly are. Whether you're building a business, leading quietly behind the scenes, or sensing God inviting you into a new season, this conversation is a reminder that your voice matters. In this episode, we discuss: • Why women often struggle to be seen and heard • The personal and professional cost of staying hidden • Building confidence without striving or self-promotion • Creating an authentic brand that reflects your values • Why understanding the people you serve matters more than simply having a beautiful website • Building a business that creates space for both purpose and joy Connect with Becky Hancock Website: https://beckyhancock.designfin LinkedIn: Rebecca Hancock Book a Conversation: https://bookwithbecky.me Connect with Donna at https://www.ivibrantliving.com/

Episode 226-Manifestation vs Partnership (Part 2): How to Discern the Counterfeit

One of the easiest mistakes sincere believers can make is assuming that if something feels helpful, peaceful, or empowering, it must automatically be from God. Discernment goes deeper than that. In this episode, I continue the conversation about manifestation and Holy Spirit partnership by exploring spiritual counterfeits, spiritual mixture, and the fruit different spiritual practices produce over time. Most importantly, she reminds us that God's greatest gift is not an outcome, an answer, or a breakthrough. The relationship is the treasure.

Episode 225-The Small Things That Quietly Damage Relationships

What if the biggest problems in marriage are not actually the problems you can see? In this heartfelt and practical conversation, I sit down with Christian marriage coach Casper Stockham to talk about communication, selfishness, hidden emotional wounds, and the small daily habits that shape healthy relationships. Casper and his wife Cheryl have spent nearly two decades helping couples move from conflict and disconnection into deeper understanding, partnership, and joy. Together, we unpack why couples often wait until the “11th hour” to seek help, how unresolved frustrations quietly build over time, and why learning to communicate differently can transform a marriage. This conversation is honest, relatable, and full of practical wisdom for couples who want more than survival; they want connection, peace, and partnership. In this episode: ✨ The hidden issues underneath relationship conflict ✨ Why selfishness quietly damages marriages ✨ How communication changes everything ✨ The power of addressing problems together instead of attacking each other ✨ Real stories from Donna and Casper about everyday marriage struggles ✨ Love languages, emotional needs, and creating lasting connection ✨ Why marriage should still include joy and fun Connect with Casper & Cheryl Stockham: 🌐 IAmLoveBuilders.net Connect with Donna Tashjian: 🌐 https://www.ivibrantliving.com

Episode 224-Manifestation vs Partnership (Part 1): The Difference Every Christian Should Know

Have you noticed how much spiritual language sounds the same these days? Manifesting. Alignment. Energy. The universe. Partnership. Sometimes the words sound familiar enough that we stop asking where they come from. And that matters. Because two things can sound similar on the surface while leading in completely different directions underneath. In this episode of the Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence series, I unpack the difference between manifestation and Holy Spirit partnership. Not to create fear, but to increase discernment. Not everything spiritual is sourced from the same kingdom. We will talk about: • The difference between manifestation and Kingdom partnership • Why source matters more than methods • The role of authority in the Kingdom of God • Why God is a Father, not a force • How spiritual language can hide counterfeit beliefs • The question every believer should ask: Which kingdom is this coming from? The goal is not suspicion. The goal is relationship. Because the more clearly we know the King, the easier it becomes to recognize what does and does not belong to His Kingdom.

Andi Buerger shares a story about a little girl named Jean who grew up in a home where unimaginable things happened every day. Jean didn't know if she would live to see the next birthday. She sat on a curb at five years old, waiting for a car to come fast enough. But God had a different plan. In this episode, Andi shares what healing has looked like on the other side of survival.

Episode 222 -The Real Meaning of Enthusiasm: Why Reverence for God's Word Keeps the Fire Burning

When you hear the word enthusiasm, what comes to mind? Most of us think of energy, excitement, or passion. But the word originally meant something entirely different. Enthusiasm comes from the Greek words en theos — "God within." In this final episode of the Kingdom Spiritual Intelligence series, we're exploring what it means to stay connected to the source rather than striving to create more energy on our own. We'll talk about reverence, abiding, and why the fire often fades, not because we stop loving God, but because familiarity quietly replaces awe. If you've felt like you're pushing harder than you should have to, this conversation may help you discover whether it's time to stop striving and reconnect with the One who sustains the fire. SOMETHING IS COMING IN JULY: Clear the Static is a free 4-week challenge starting July 6. It is for women who are ready to clear the daily noise and lead from what God is actually saying.

Episode 220-You Are Leading More Than You Know: Influence, Values, and Leading from Peace with Randy Wheel

In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I welcome Randy Wheeler, owner of Wheeler Coaching and Maxwell Leadership Certified DISC Consultant, for a conversation about the kind of leadership that has nothing to do with a title. Randy has trained thousands of leaders across the United States and developed leaders internationally. His conviction is simple: leadership is influence. And the women who insist they are not leaders are frequently the ones every room looks to. This conversation covers what it means to lead from values rather than obligation, why knowing what to say no to is as important as knowing what to say yes to, and how the most effective leaders protect their focus rather than their schedule. Randy and Donna also explore the danger of tying identity to performance, the power of having people in your life who can see your blind spots, and what it looks like to lead not from pressure but from peace. If you have ever minimized your influence or wondered whether what you do actually matters, this episode answers that question. More About Randy Randy Wheeler is the owner of Wheeler Coaching and helps individuals and teams enhance leadership, communication, and teamwork. He holds a Master's in Organizational Leadership and is a Maxwell Leadership Certified DISC Consultant and Working Genius Facilitator. As an Executive Program Leader with Maxwell Leadership, he combines expertise and resources to sharpen focus, clarify strategy, and drive results.
