  • Summary

  • Are you a single Christian woman who finds yourself perpetually stuck in a state of inaction or despair because you’re waiting for your soulmate? Are telling yourself you’re not in a relationship because: - You aren’t attractive - There is something wrong with you - You are struggling financially on your own? Are you telling yourself you’re not important because you are single? Then welcome to RISE from Stuck with Bonnie Jean Schaefer. I understand what it’s like to feel invisible, overlooked, unimportant, unattractive, and alone. I understand what it’s like to use those feelings as an excuse to stay small, ignore God’s call, and convince myself I can’t succeed in relationships or business because I don’t have: - The looks of a supermodel - A husband - Enough money - Enough talent - Enough connections - The right credentials or - A charismatic personality. ***But I’m learning to understand that my real problem is that when I don’t trust God with my whole heart, I fail to be who I know I should be and do what I know I should do because of my doubt-filled, excuse-riddled mindset.*** I’m also learning to understand that **seeking God first is the answer**. Embracing my identity in Him is the path to confidence, significance, and success, the kind of success that has nothing to do with being skinny, being married, or being wealthy. The kind of success that matters is being like Christ and getting results that glorify God. And you can’t produce those kind of results without relentless, purposeful action in the direction of your God-given dreams. **I’ve known this core truth all along. I’ve been a Christian since age four, earned my Bible degree in 1999, and published four novels so far, one as me and three as fantasy author DK Drake. But the internal war I describe in episode 30 between my competing desires to be married and to be an author entrepreneur has kept me small. Hidden. Insignificant. Until now. Now I have a firm foundation and framework for my life that honors God. Now I know I am can be both single and significant because I am in Christ. And I want to help you build that same foundation and framework for your life. I want you to feel significant. Important. Valuable. I want you to find your significance in Christ, not in your appearance, a relationship, or your net worth. I want you to RISE from Stuck and live a confident, significant life as a single Christian woman. If you happen to attract the man God has for you in the process, BONUS! That’s why the mission of this podcast is to help you build a foundation and framework for your life so that you can glorify God while living your dreams. On this podcast, you can expect episodes that cover the following topics: - Know God and understand His design - Know yourself and respect your strengths - Take consistent action toward goals that glorify God. In the process of knowing God, yourself, and taking action, my prayer is that you become the diligent, disciplined, passionate woman God designed you to become so that you can attempt great things for Him. If you happen to attract a man in the process, BONUS. But that is not the focus of this podcast. Here we focus on serving God to the best of our ability while trusting Him to provide whatever we need, including a mate. Ready to rise? Start by listening to episode 30, then taking the action I suggest at the end of the episode. This rise from stuck journey may be a bumpy ride, but as we learn to trust God, respect our strengths, and do the work God is calling us to do, we are going to build confidence, courage and consistency in the pursuit of God and our dreams regardless of our marital status. So strap into God’s word. Grab on to my hand. And let’s rise from stuck. Together.

    030 || Finding Significance as a Single Christian Woman
    Oct 31 2023

    In this episode, I share my story of how I found significance as a single Christian woman.

    If you want to feel significant now as a single Christian woman, I invite you to join me on this journey to pursue God and our dreams.

    I’ve wasted way too much time waiting to start living because I haven’t found my man yet. I’ve spent way too much mental energy wallowing in my singleness and wondering if I’ll ever find love. I’ve spent way too much emotional energy being embarrassed and resentful and bitter about my relationship status.

    I’m done waiting. I’m done wallowing. I’m done wondering. I’m done being embarrassed. I’m done being resentful. I’m done being bitter. I’m just done.

    I’m starting something new right here right now. I’m starting my ministry to you, my single sister in Christ.

    I want this podcast to be for you. I want to help you know God and understand His design. I want to you to know yourself in light of your identity in Christ and respect the strengths He has given you. I want to motivate you to take determined, persistent, consistent action toward your God-given dreams. I want you to become the diligent, disciplined, passionate woman God is calling you to become.

    Sound good? Listen in and discover the secret to finding significance as a single Christian woman.

    Your friend,

    029 // Want to Grow Your BOLDNESS as a Christian Woman?
    Oct 17 2023

    In today’s episode, you will hear an encouraging story of bold faith in action as I interview my friend Erika Diaz-Castro, host of the Her Renewed Strength podcast and leader of the 2023 Renewed Conference. She literally thanks God for her cancer diagnosis and talks about how her study of the bible changed as a result of cancer. Powerful stuff.

    We met in a podcast mastermind last fall, and she has helped shape my mindset regarding productivity from a Christian perspective. Since meeting her and learning from her through her course and coaching, I am becoming more bold and more confident.

    I never would have shared the story I shared had she not given me the opportunity to speak at the 2023 Renewed conference, which, by the way, takes place Nov 6-10. You should get yourself registered for free today.

    As a result of that speech, I am becoming more clear about who God is calling me to be and who He is calling me to serve. If you’re looking for an extra dose of boldness in your life, listen to today’s episode, get yourself signed up for the 2023 Conference, and then show up for the conference!

    Who is going to be speaking at this conference? What are they going to be speaking about? Glad you asked. Listen in to find out.
