Above and Not Beneath Robyn Sears One thing that I learned from my time in the military, was belief in yourself must come from within. You have to “see yourself” as an overcomer in any situations you face. Be it physical, emotional, or whatever. That does not mean you have “go it alone.” The military prides itself on team work. That type of training begins day one in basic training and continues all through your career. But, for those who have not had their mindset strengthened by that type of training and those types of experiences, it is easy to lose sight of just how special you are. It is easy to fall victim to life’s circumstances and begin to have a negative mindset about everything. Sometimes, things happen to us that we have no control over. Life happens. But it is especially important, during those times, where we need to see ourselves as overcomers. Children of the Most High God. Victorious over circumstances. Heirs of the Kingdom. Amen! Our guest today helps women who have experienced adversity in their life, to achieve success and to improve their mindset. Robyn Sears became a wife and mother at the age of 17. She was focused on raising and nurturing her family until, at the age of 34, she found herself divorced and having no skill sets to fall back on. It was at this time she entered the workforce and faced challenges there as well. But her desire to provide for her three children, the challenges she faced, including difficulties with her first boss, all combined to increase the pressures and apprehension she was facing on a daily basis. At least until God brought her together with a couple who owned a thriving business, who also became her mentors. Through their guidance and support, she was able to grow spiritually, personally and professionally. Amen! Robyn Sears eventually formed, “Above and Not Beneath” to help coach single mothers who are looking to improve their lives through personal and professional development. If you are a single mother or perhaps someone who has survived domestic abuse, sex trafficking or poverty, etc., you need to pay special attention to our interview today. Robyn Sears will be explaining some things for us today that will inspire you, will help you to see the opportunities God is making available to you, to help you achieve more and experience personal and professional success. Amen! Help me welcome to the program, the founder of “Above Only and Not Beneath,” Robyn Sears. Robyn, thank you for taking the time to join us today! The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Robyn Sears?” Tell us about how life started out, married at the age of 17 and what was life like at that point in your life? One thing I found on your website, which really hit home for me, was where you were talking about a couple that had mentored you and you learned, “…the pursuit of perfection creates stress, while embracing mistakes fosters genuine growth.”  Can you explain that for us? I noticed you use something called “the power of the pause.” Can you explain that for us and how does it work? You share that your coaching program involves, “Focus; Reflect: Refine.” Can you share those three...

Church Apps – Michael Byrd Technology can sometimes be a “four letter word” when it comes to how churches feel about it. The truth is, technology is what helps to spread the Gospel around the world faster than at any time since the days of Jesus. Amen! Computers now allow us to do this easier than ever before! IF you know what to do and how to use the technology. Unfortunately, many churches are not as proficient at this as they should be. Sometimes, it is the technology itself. For others, it’s the cost factor. For others it’s “new” and they are afraid of using it. Well, having been in online ministry since 2009, I’m telling you right now, the Lord allowed computer technology to be used in this day and time to help further the accomplishment of the “Great Commission” faster than ever before. It is not possible to minister around the world, anywhere there is an internet or wifi or cell phone signal – simultaneously, while you are sitting behind your computer or preaching from the platform in your church. Amen! “Well, what about the cost, brother Bob?” Compared to the cost of what it used to be, traveling, the hassles, etc. – it is very, VERY cost efficient. Michael Byrd has over 20 years of ministry experience spanning both, youth and children’s ministry in Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and Oklahoma. He is passionate about children’s ministry and about the use of technology to “Get the Word Out” into all the earth. He is part of  “ChurchApps” which is part of Live Church Solutions, a 501-c-3 organization that helps churches to utilize technology to be more effective in ministry outreach.  Their website is https://churchapps.org and it has a lot of great information on there, which we will go over today. Church Apps, has a number of free and open source solutions to help you with some of the challenges churches face with technology, such as getting a website online, live streaming your services, tracking key information (such as attendance, membership and giving). Understanding that church budgets are often tight and every dollar is stretched to the max, they do not want to add to the stress and become a barrier to the church using technology to share the Gospel with the world. To explain how all of this is accomplished, help me welcome to the program, Michael Byrd. Michael, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate your time. First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Michael Byrd?” The mission of “Live Church Solutions” is to “foster the growth of local churches by offering modern technological solutions, logistical support, educational guidance, mentoring and spiritual content to churches. Your aim is to ignite a deep love of Jesus, motivating churches to expand their reach and expand their impact.” You do this is several areas. Can you share those areas with us and how you accomplish this? Lessons https://chums.org/ B1Church I know, from dealing with churches, trying to convince

Spiritual Growth Coach  Phoebe Upke If you have been a believer for a while, or if you are new believe in Christ and want to go deeper, you need to pay attention to today’s interview. Amen! For many people, some who have been in the Faith for years, they are still walking about in “spiritual diapers” (so to speak). They are not eating the “meat of the Word” by still trying to get by in “milk and baby food.” Amen! (Don’t shout me down when I’m preaching good – amen)! Let me ask you, are you living life from your TRUE identity in Christ? Do you feel “stuck” in some area of your life? Are you able to hear the Holy Spirit’s voice and recognize when He is speaking to you? Well, if you answered “no” to any of those questions, you will definitely want to stay tuned for what our guest is about to share. Today, I’m speaking with Phoebe Upke, a Bible teacher and Christian Spiritual growth coach from out in Los Angeles, California. She is passionate about equipping believers to flourish and walk out their life, being fruitful in the process, which God has ordained uniquely for them. Amen! It’s not about how often you attend church or how much of the Bible you have memorized. That’s not it at all. A lot of people feel if they “check all the boxes” that they should be just fine. But what really matters is walking the path God has destined for YOU to walk. Amen! To help us learn more on this, help me welcome to the program, Phoebe Upke!  Phoebe, thank you for taking the time to join us today! I do appreciate it. First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Phoebe Upke? How did you get started as a “Christian Spiritual Growth Coach?” In your opinion, and based upon those you’ve helped, what is impeding the average church goer from growing up spiritually? I referenced in the opening about people being spiritually babies, even years after becoming born again.  The Lord showed me an example one time, many years ago, in church.  There was a woman holding a new born about three rows in front of us. Everyone was saying how cute it was and things like that. Across the aisle, there was a 4 or 5 year old acting up and people were glancing over there – but did not have the same face as when they were admiring the new born. The Lord spoke to my heart and gave me the example of the new born being a born again Christian, regardless of physical age…they were a newborn baby in the Spirit. If not taught and disciplined, they would not know how to act in life. Then He asked me, if you came here 20 years from now, and the mother was still holding that baby boy in her arms, even though he was a grown man physically, and trying to nurse him or feed him a bottle, would everyone still think it was cute? And that is when I started to study spiritual growth. Newborns are all cute. New born Christians are all cute and they are motivated and they want to win the world for Christ. Everyone is like, “Amen, look at him go now that he found Jesus!” The problem is, they have not grown up enough yet to do that. They are running around trying to witness to people while they still wear dirty diapers and are feeding on baby food. It’s the church’s job, as well as ministries such as ours and yours, to help them to “grow up” spiritually speaking. Don’t

First question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Brandon Barnum?” Now, let me kind of clear the waters a little bit. “HOA” is sometimes a “bad word” when it comes to homeownership. But your “HOA” is not about keeping someone’s front yard grass to less than four inches and things like that, correct? How did you get started down this path? Referrals ended up being something that allowed you to stand out from the crowd. How did you discover the power of referrals? It all came down to “find a need and fill it.” But, at the same time, you can’t be all things to all people. We need to, for lack of a better term, “niche down.” At what point did you realize you had discovered, “your niche?” Your book is “Raving Referrals: The Proven Step-by-Step System to Attract Profitable Prospects.” Why did you write this book and why publish it now? This is not just a book – but it is series!  Correct?  Share with us about that… In your book, “Raving Referrals,” you discuss the “7 Laws of Raving Referrals.” Can you share those 7 laws with us? What is the “Referral Partner Blueprint?” You are also a leader in Artificial Intelligence as the CEO of “Codebreaker Technology.” What is that and what does it do? I can’t get away from your book, “Raving...
