It starts in your mind. Before you take action… Before you influence anyone… Before you step boldly into God’s calling… Your thoughts either fuel your leadership or sabotage it. And most often? It’s not lack of skill, credentials, or opportunity that holds us back. It’s the quiet narratives we allow to run on autopilot in our minds.

If you don’t have any margin - you know, blank space - in your life, then you probably don’t have much peace, clarity, or confidence either. Without margin, you feel scattered and unsure because you are moving too fast. While you should be feeling more confident at this stage in your life - you feel insecure and maybe even a little defeated.

We look at others who are …

This works. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you may be facing. It doesn’t matter if it is a small struggle, a huge problem, or a need that needs to be met. You have everything you need in order to rise up and lead well.

Let’s break it down and make it super easy for you to remember…

Our family is walking through a difficult time where leaders have failed us. It is shocking and hurtful. So, we must all ask ourselves some hard questions about who we are and what we will do when given a chance to shrink back, lead soft, or to fail others? Here are 5 tips to stand firm and lead strong.

Have you ever caught yourself waiting—waiting for someone to notice your potential, invite you to lead, or give you permission to pursue what God has already placed in your heart? Have you ever considered the legacy you will leave behind? Let’s stop waiting, let’s start walking and building a lasting legacy. (Take the Quiz)

Do you ever feel scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck in cycles of fear and striving? You’re not alone. We often juggle countless responsibilities — at work, in our homes, and in our communities. But here’s the truth: (continue reading for tips to fix your focus)

Have you ever asked yourself, “Do I really make a difference?” We all wonder that from time to time. It’s normal to wrestle with this question. As a Believer, you are called to make a difference, to be different, and to lead. Whether you’re leading at work, in your home, or in your community, it can feel like your influence goes unnoticed

Have you ever wondered if you’re really called to more, but felt unsure of what that “more” even is? You’re not alone. For years, I doubted myself and compared my leadership to others… until I discovered the truth about Confident Christian Influence.

You may not feel like a leader every day. You might feel like a mom holding it all together. A business owner juggling a dozen decisions. A woman showing up, day after day, doing what needs to be done. But here’s the truth: you are leading someone. Leadership is…

I used to pack my suitcase with all the “must-haves” — sunscreen, sunglasses, flip-flops, a good book, snacks for the road, and of course, all the cute outfits. But for years, I left behind one of the most essential things: my Bible.

As Christian women called to lead — whether in the boardroom, at home, or in ministry — it's easy to slip into leading from pressure, performance, or even pride. But Jesus calls us to a different way — one anchored in surrender, humility, and truth.

Before you step into your next decision, meeting, or moment of influence, pause and ask yourself these five questions:

Have you ever stopped to consider the power of your presence? Whether you’re leading a team of executives, having coffee with a peer, or playing on the floor with your grandchild, you are influencing someone. The question isn’t if you are influencing others — the question is how.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Where have you been waiting instead of obeying?

Are you declaring that you are in a holding pattern, waiting on God, when actually it is God waiting on you?

I found this blog post from 2018, but it sounds as if I wrote it today…

There is so much going on… so much to worry about… so much to do… so much that disappoints… so much that hurts… so much to be discouraged about… We smile a pretty smile and say we are fine, but honestly, we are struggling. We are consumed. We are overwhelmed… We worry and fret over things that – seriously y’all – do not matter… What if we…

We are sure to experience difficult times and face many challenges. We may be dealing with a challenge today, just coming out of a hard season, or about to encounter one. But as a Daughter of the King, how we walk through hard seasons should look different than how those who are not following Him go through it.

The Bible has a lot to say about our tongues and fools who talk too much. We read about the wise person who knows when to be quiet. In Matthew, Jesus is speaking to His followers and He says, “You must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” (Matthew 12:36-37)

So today is He saying “Shhhhh….”, to you, too?
