When Prayer Meets Preparation with Pastor Travis Greene

Рет қаралды 9,320

Күн бұрын

Have you taken the time to prepare for what you’ve prayed for? When we submit our desires to God, we can become so focused on getting to our destination that we fail to live our lives well in the meantime. But there is so much life to be lived in the in-between season.
Travis Greene joins me on The Sister Circle Podcast to discuss his debut book, Are You Praying for the Wrong Thing?, and the transformation that takes place when we steward our current season well.
If you find yourself always aiming for more, I believe this conversation will shift your focus back in the right direction.

Stop making God and Life Complicated! Steward Well Over what you have in your hand Now ...Master it! Live a Life that God desires to Use you because He Trust you!

“A prayer without a plan is just wishful thinking” hit me so hard I’m still rewinding and in tears…oh GOD is so faithful! Someone just offered to do something big for me financially bc I literally live paycheck to paycheck and I pray about EVERYTHING as we ALL should and the Lord told me to tell that person no because I wasn’t ready to handle it. God bless this person’s heart! They belong to JESUS and maybe there is a place for it later, but the Lord told me no! My goodness! That statement for me is a game changer because I wonder why so many things seem held up and truly the Lord has told me before some stuff He wants me to handle on a smaller scale OR just be more responsible in some areas before He moves…I LOVE HIM! I WELCOME HIS CORRECTION! Praise God for this time with Bro. Greene. 😊☝🏽☝🏽🙏🏽✝️

My biggest takeaways: 1. Be a faithful friend of God. 2. Seek God and His plans for your life. 3. Be grateful for your now and steward it well. 4. Trust that God is preparing you for your future. 5. Be someone God can trust. 6. Allow the vision to motivate you, but don’t idolize it. 7. Good stewardship and character development go hand in hand. 8. Planning is crucial but don’t overthink it. 9. It’s okay to make mistakes along the way, in fact they help you learn and grow (so don’t get stuck beating yourself up for it).

“You’ve been praying for what God can do and overlooking the things that you are responsible for doing.” All I can say is ouch and amen. I just bought the book and I so appreciate you my sister for having him on your platform. Game changer for my spiritual growth!!! 🙏🏾❤️

Wow. This was SO good. I think the part that stood out to me was, "Can God trust you?" 😮‍💨 We often place the burden on God to direct us to the "next" place but often only use that as an excuse for not wanting to finish the assignment He's placed right in front of us. The here & now work is often unglamorous and requires us to die to ourselves daily, which is HARD. But this was such a beautiful reminder to simply go back to what is right in front of us and ask God to give us grace and practical strategies to manage those things and finish them WELL before worrying about what comes next.

I absolutely loved this interview. I enjoyed Pastor Travis Greene on the Basement with Tim Ross, I laughed the entire conversation and his energy was the same here. Chrystal, you ask the best questions and his answers HIT! My nugget is: "Can God trust you?" and "Just do life and be faithful."

This is an amazing intervew. Two great people sharing the gospel for this generation. My take away is "make up your bed" before trying to minister. Get your house in order and then come share a word. I am going to re-watch this and also share with others. God Bless you both. Nakia from The Bay Area-California.

1) Stewarding what you currently have with excellence and 2) stewardship in the little things prepares you for the big things. Also the statement "I can't even trust you to be a janitor if your car isn't clean" stood out in my head as one of the examples Pastor Travis used about lack of stewardship. (I had to get my car washed after hearing that...) Thank you for this episode!💯

What hit me in the forehead was when he said to stewart where I am! Stop trying to get there when you ain’t even made your bed! How about I’m laying on my bed and I had not made my bed in over a week! Say ouch!! It made me wonder at how I think too! I liked the use me Lord part too! Ask myself can God trust me? Me should want trust! I also enjoyed the David and Saul examples! Get great getting prepared! Stewardship is the key!! This blessed me!! Also somethings I had asked God in prayer, was answered!

Great, great, great interview! This was such a bullseye 🎯 interview that it didn’t have to be long. I loved every minute. My takeaways are longer than what I actually penned in my journal but the first one is to stop eating French Fries 🍟 😂. Glad I made my salad today. #2 everything is “steward-able. #3 - accepted by God and being used by God is two different things. #4- (MOST IMPORTANT) can we be trusted? Oh yeah - #5 is “preparation is the reward of stewardship.” Travis Greene just confirmed that having that kind of clarity can make most messages more concise. 🎉💜
