About Amber:

Born and raised in California, I love the combination of city life and outdoor living that is ideal for a Boy-Mom who is raising men.

Raised in a home that taught the Bible, table manners, and a love for the beach, I find myself passing those ideals on to the next generation. (Though with four sons, table manners are always a work in progress!)

More than anything, I want to live up to my God-given potential. And I want that for my friends, family, readers, and clients too! That’s why I write about gentle parenting, thriving marital relationships, and how to live a healthy lifestyle — all with practical and biblical truth!

Personally, my most cherished moments are when I’m reading and praying in my hammock, sipping sparkling water, while talking on the phone with a close friend, or spending long slow days at the beach with my family to rest and rejuvenate.

Thriving Beyond Belief Book with Cheryl Scruggs (Chapter 1)

Excerpt from Thriving Beyond Belief: Courageous, Rooted, Thriving Women

Quote from Chapter 1:

“LIFE, MARRIAGE, SINGLENESS, WORK, PARENTING,

and relationships can be hard and the struggle is real. But I know women who are learning to thrive in the midst of it all. This book you’re holding is an outlier. It frames thriving in a new way. And it paints a different picture of abundant living and prosperity than what you often hear.

My vision is for women to live an abundant life from the inside out in every area and practice the lost arts of being a vibrant human being. I envision woman who are energized and enjoying more of what matters most spiritually, emotionally, physically, mentally, and relationally. I want to show women in practical ways how to “be known” to themselves and to others as they really are and learn to be vulnerable. I’ve seen it happen time after time in my work with women over the years. Real, lasting satisfaction comes from women knowing who they are—and accepting what they discover about themselves. And it starts with knowing who God made them.”

– Cheryl Scruggs, Author of the new book Thriving Beyond Belief

Today on the Thriving Beyond Belief podcast, Banning Liebscher!

Banning Liebscher is a pastor, speaker, and author. Along with his wife, SeaJay, he founded Jesus Culture, a ministry of worship, conferences, and leadership development. In 2014, they planted Jesus Culture Sacramento, a church in California with a passion to see people fully engaged in becoming who God has called them to be and to do what God has called them to do.

In his new book, The Three-Mile Walk: The Courage You Need to Live the Life God Wants for You, Jesus Culture founder and pastor Banning Liebscher will empower you to rise up from your comfort zone and instead step into a life of passionate purpose and unshakable faith.

With a heart-stirring message and compelling stories, Liebscher provides practical guidance to be and do all that God has called you to. The Three-Mile Walk draws from the biblical story of Jonathan, who, after a treacherous three-mile hike, boldly stepped into battle and watched God work a stunning victory in the midst of impossible odds. Likewise, Liebscher presents the three essential attributes you need to fully engage your mission—holiness, courage, and faith—and the steps you can follow to incorporate them into your life today.

In his power-packed, memorable style, Liebscher offers fresh insights and instruction for answering your calling with a courageous yes, and setting out on the journey you were made for.
“If you are a follower of Jesus, you have sensed that voice inside you saying, This is it. This is what you were made for,” writes Liebscher. “You have heard the call of God on your life. If you haven’t, then my prayer is that while reading this book, you will experience a marking moment that stirs your heart and ignites courage to follow Jesus with all of your heart. If you have had that moment, then my prayer is this: I want you to fully engage the call of God on your life. We are at our best when we are fully engaged in becoming who God has called us to become and doing what God has called us to do.”

Changing the world is going to be tough, surprising, and more fulfilling than you can imagine. In The Three-Mile Walk, you’ll find the courage you need to rise up and walk it out.

Banning Liebscher is on staff at Bethel Church in Redding, California. He and his wife, SeaJay, are the directors of Jesus Culture, a ministry dedicated to mobilizing, equipping, activating, and sending a new breed of revivalists worldwide.

Please welcome Niki Hardy to the Thriving Beyond Belief podcast this week!!

Niki Hardy is a speaker and writer whose work has appeared in Christian Today and Living by Design Ministries and on Premier Radio. After leaving corporate life in London, she trained as a teacher at Kings College, London, before studying theology at Wycliffe, Oxford. She and her husband moved their family to the United States to plant CityChurch Charlotte, NC, where they now live with their three kids and two crazy Goldendoodles. A rectal (yes, rectal) cancer survivor, pastor’s wife, tea drinker, and teller of bad jokes, she’d love to connect with you at www.nikihardy.com if she can’t hug you in person.

Niki Hardy watched her mother pass away from cancer, and then her sister a few years later. When she herself was diagnosed just six weeks later it left her reeling, questioning, and merely surviving a life that bore no resemblance to the abundant life Jesus promises in the Bible, so she set out to find it.

In her new book, Breathe Again: How to Live Well When Life Falls Apart, Hardy unpacks seven practices to thrive, not just survive, no matter what life throws at us. Full of grit, humor and unvarnished stories from her own grief and rectal cancer journey, Hardy’s story and her Thriver Manifesto will help readers claim truths such as: I believe life doesn’t have to be pain-free to be full. I’ve got this because God’s got me, and together we can do more than I could ever do alone.  I step into vulnerable spaces with God and others, aware that my strength can be my biggest weakness. I practice gratitude in all things, confident that peace and well-being will follow.

I have learned to breathe again. “We’ve bought into the myth that a painful season can’t be full,” writes Hardy, “that a time of abundance isn’t challenging—and this, dear reader, gets my goat. I just don’t think it’s true, and this is exactly what this book is about: smashing this myth and inhaling all God has for us.”

The first weekend in October at the Influence Her Conference 2019 near Sacramento, CA, I had the honor to speak alongside my friend Shannon Stewart Ratliff, Cheryl Broderson and Grace Broderson at Metro Calvary Church in Roseville, CA! We loved our time there and the amazing women we were able to speak into and meet!

This week on the Thriving Beyond Belief, I am playing the talk that Shannon did called  “Finding Yourself In A Selfie World.”

Her name is Shannon and she is head over heels in love with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Without Him she is nothing, but with Him, she is royalty-a King’s daughter, and she has a future and a hope. I do like cool, pretty pictures, but her desire when you visit her site is that you smell the love of Christ.

She’s a small-town girl, from Franklin, Ohio. Most of her childhood days were filled with her mom taking them to church, playing sports, traveling on vacation, and her trying to become a supermodel. Ha!

Her talk is so inspiring, encouraging, and life-giving! DO NOT MISS IT!

LISTEN ON ITUNES

Highlights:

  • Shannon wanted #1’s in her life, but God gave her #2’s
  • It was the Lord that gave Shannon:
  • Strength in weakness
  • Courage in sorrow
  • Comfort in pain
  • Truth in Loving Power!
