Arian Simone: Faith and the Fearless Fund

November 17, 2020 by Ericka Leave a Comment

Arian is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, investor, best-selling author, international speaker, and PR & marketing specialist! Her new book is the "Fearless Money Mindset: Broke Doesn't Scare Me" and she has also written "Fearless Faith + Hustle: 21 Day Devotional Journey" for female entrepreneurs. I speak with Arian about her venture capitalist firm, the Fearless Fund, which invests in women-of-color owned businesses! When Arian found that women of color owned businesses were invested in only .005% of the time, she knew she had to do something. She is now partnered with PayPal, among MANY others! You can catch my video interview with Arian below (she was so gracious to jump on video even though she didn't … [Read more...]

The Missing Ingredient in Christian Political Discourse

November 3, 2020 by Ericka Leave a Comment

It's Election Day and humility is about a million miles away. But I kind of wish we'd all bold caps that word -- HUMILITY -- and look at it before we begin each day. I've seen comments from those who think civility is overrated, that looking towards unity is unhelpful, that one's character is in question if you vote for [Trump/Biden]. People are desperate and frustrated, angry and sad. It's easy to forget that in our emotion, we can lose our humility and rather than looking UP, we look inside and all around and we lose our focus.  Parties and Policies In the past few weeks, I've seen bold declarations from former conservative Republican Christians who now identify as Democrats, imploring friends to understand why they believe … [Read more...]

Childhood Cancer: Parenting in Faith with Angelise Schrader

October 20, 2020 by Ericka Leave a Comment

Join me for a conversation with my friend Angelise Schrader, a writer and mom of almost 3 -- her third is due in a few weeks -- and also mother to a little boy battling cancer. Today, I speak with Angelise about her son's diagnosis at the age of 18 months, and the journey they've been on as the cancer has left and returned three times. As I've watched Angelise through this from afar online, I've been fascinated and inspired by her great faith in God to uphold her family. In this conversation, she reveals what it felt like to get that first diagnosis, how she manages her emotions each day and how her son inspires her with his strength and faith in God, as well. We also talk about handling decisions in marriage when you … [Read more...]

Megan Westra is the author of "Born Again and Again: Jesus' Radical Call to Transformation" and has a Masters of Divinity. She's also an activists and advocate for the most vulnerable in our society. In this episode of the "Worth Your Time" podcast, we talked about: ✔️ Megan's transformation from growing up as a conservative Christian to transitioning to a more curious faith. ✔️ The importance of pursuing your faith with an open hand and not being afraid to ask hard questions. ✔️ The only very recent history of Christianity become so "personal" and indivualized, rather than public and communal -- something I didn't know until I read her book ✔️ Prioritizing those God prioritizes (the orphan, widow, stranger … [Read more...]
