Jessie shares her incredible story of embracing unexpected challenges, surrendering to divine timing, and answering a new ministry calling.<br /><br />Facing trauma and undergoing an unexpected brain surgery, Jessie found herself at a crossroads. Despite a comfortable and fulfilling life, she felt a compelling urge to step into discomfort and pursue a ministry that serves the needs of children, all while embracing her love for the performing arts.<br /><br />In this episode, we explore the power of uncomfortable obedience and the profound growth that emerges when we surrender our plans to God's divine timing. Jessie's journey serves as a powerful reminder to trust in the unfolding narrative orchestrated by a loving and purposeful God.<br /><br />Join us as we dive into the intersections of faith, purpose, and divine timing with Jessie Beebe, and discover the beauty and fulfillment that await when we wholeheartedly embrace the unexpected pivots in our lives.<br /><br />About Jessie Beebe:<br /><br />With over twenty-five years of experience in ministry and the performing arts, Jessie has established herself as a dynamic speaker, pastor, playwright, and leader. Holding an ordination as a pastor and a degree in Theatre Education, Jessie has served in various capacities, including seven years as a children's pastor.<br /><br />One of the unique highlights of Jessie's career was being chosen as the host and spokesperson for VeggieTales Live, where she embarked on a nationwide 30-city tour, showcasing her talents and performing songs from her album "Pump Up the Praise." Her international endeavors took her to Nepal, Africa, Haiti, and Honduras, where she used her performances to spread the message of evangelism alongside esteemed evangelists like Luis Palau.<br /><br />Jessie has had the honor of ministering and preaching at renowned churches such as T.D. Jakes' The Potter's House, Tony Evans' Oak Cliff Bible Church, and Robert Morris' Gateway Church. She has also made impactful appearances at festivals like KLTY's Celebrate Freedom, T.D. Jakes' MegaFest, and CreationFest West.<br /><br />Through her non-profit organization, Stand Ministries, Jessie has dedicated herself to training young leaders on how to utilize their performing arts gifts for Jesus. Her passion for creative expression led her to write, direct, and produce plays such as "No Place Like Home" and "Forward to the Past." Recently, she collaborated with co-author Janet Bloss to transform "No Place Like Home" into an illustrated young adult novel reminiscent of the classic "Wizard of Oz" tale.<br /><br />Beyond her impressive artistic achievements, Jessie has emerged as a powerful voice in addressing mental health issues within the context of faith. After personally battling anxiety and depression for a significant portion of her ministry career, she embarked on a determined journey to find emotional healing and freedom. Through deep study, personal reflection, and an unyielding commitment to her own well-being, Jessie discovered a path to healing that she now shares with others.<br /><br />Her forthcoming book, "Absolute Resolve," chronicles her transformative journey and provides readers with practical tools to overcome anxiety and embrace abundant freedom. Drawing from her own experiences, Jessie teaches readers how to identify and replace deeply rooted lies with the liberating truth found in God's Word.<br /><br />Passionate about supporting individuals dealing with mental health challenges, Jessie's book serves as an introductory resource for those seeking inner healing in small groups, churches, and individual settings. By applying her "Stop - Look - Listen" approach, readers can uncover and address the lies they believe, paving the way for personal growth and a hopeful future.<br /><br />Jessie's remarkable journey has been shared on various platforms, including her recurring guest appearances on the Vinelife Ministry show of the Fishbowl Radio Network. She is eager to continue sharing her story and the tools that have empowered her to find greater freedom and abundance. Jessie is grateful to have embarked on this transformative journey alongside her supportive husband and two incredible daughters.<br /><br />Stay tuned for the upcoming release of Jessie's book, "No Place Like Home," which invites readers to embark on a unique and empowering journey that combines introspection, healing from the past, and embracing a purposeful present to pursue a promising future. <br /><br />Check out <a href="https://www.standministries.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stand Ministries</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/56055201</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jul 2023 11:00:02 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/56055201/bbc_ep37_v1.mp3" length="93965568" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Ashley Nicole Stone</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Join us for an inspiring episode as we sit down with Jessie Beebe, founder of Stand Ministries.

SHE WORKED ALONGSIDE RENOWNED MASTER FINE ARTIST, LARRY GLUCK IN THE EXPANSION OF THE MISSION: RENAISSANCE ART STUDIOS, A CHAIN OF ART SCHOOLS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN LOS ANGELES. THE MISSION: RENAISSANCE ART STUDIOS WENT FROM 6LOCATIONS TO 20 LOCATIONS WITH SUSIE'S CONTRIBUTION.<br /><br />Susie relocated to Dallas in 2018 and then to Houston, where she currently resides, to pursue her full-time artistic career. She travels frequently between the West coast and East coast, as well as the Caribbean, and Central America, to events where she paints life or works to improve her skills. In March 2018, she became the Hirst Salvadorian artist to be invited to paint at the National Gallery in Washington, DC.<br /><br />The turning point in her career came when she was invited to visit the islands of Turks and Caicos in 2019. The colors, culture, and people of the islands inspired her to create brighter, bolder, and more energetic works. She has since made more visits to the island and established long-lasting relationships with the people. Keen on self-improvement and development, Susie is currently working on her latest project of limited edition handmade prints in Turks and Caicos, which will debut in 2023. She has also been busy writing a book that will document her artistic journey.<br /><br />Susie is a passionate artist who likes to communicate her feelings through art and draw the audience to experience her emotions. Susie works to evoke emotions in the viewers, so they become silent partners and enjoy the experience. The different mediums she uses also contribute to the feelings she wants to convey. Susie is well versed in several mediums, including Watercolor, Gauche, Acrylics, Oils, Digital, Charcoal, Body Painting, and teaching the basics of Fine Art.<br /><br />Recently, Susie joined the new and expanding world of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), becoming the Creative Director for Mowsse, (an NFT Marketplace made by Creatives for Creatives).

Through sheer resilience, Debra overcame her hardships by facing them head-on and leaning on her faith. As she grew in strength, courage, and wisdom, she realized her purpose in life was to help other women navigate their own journey through divorce. Her ultimate goal is to ensure that women don't get stuck in the pain of their past and find their purpose sooner, enabling them to begin their healing journey. With Debra's guidance, you can walk through the aftermath of divorce with grace and come out on the other side stronger and more resilient.<br /><br />Debra Joyce's life's work is centered around a burning desire to speak on the transformational components that have helped her on her healing journey. Having experienced her own pain and heartbreak, she is passionate about helping others who are currently going through similar struggles. Debra believes that the people she can help today are the same people she was not too long ago. Her message is grounded in the knowledge that God brings trials and tribulations into our lives to help us become better, not bitter. She is living proof that pain can be used for a better purpose, and she works towards that goal every day with God's help. Debra has discovered that it's possible to find joy even in the midst of sorrow, and she is committed to helping others do the same.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.debrajoycespeaks.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.debrajoycespeaks.com/</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/53719520</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 May 2023 11:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/53719520/bbc_ep31_v2.mp3" length="74320896" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Ashley Nicole Stone</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Debra Joyce to discuss the pivotal moment in her life when she went through a life-changing divorce that led her to jump out of airplanes and into a completely new path.

In the past decade, there have been countless examples of high-profile female leaders who have utilized their influence to create meaningful change in different areas, from politics to business operations.<br /><br />On this episode I sit down with CEO of Christ Haven for Children, Cassie McQuitty. We discuss how influential women can make strides within their career but, also in their personal lives. From being influential in your existing network and community to surrounding yourself with influence that makes an impact in your life and how you show up.<br /><br />There are limitless opportunities present for ambitious female professionals today, you are bound to walk away feeling empowered and ready to create influence with an impact!<br /><br />Cassie McQuitty organized her first fundraiser at 10 years old and even at that young age, she knew something special about giving back and working on behalf of others. Her philosophy has been that it's not just about giving. It is about finding what drives you, what drives others, and what makes change happen that inspires others to want to invest in an organization alongside you. <br /><br />Cassie is the first female CEO of Christ's Haven For Children, which is a nonprofit organization in the Keller/North Fort Worth area providing a trauma-informed, family model of care for displaced youth. Under Cassie’s leadership, the organization has seen significant programmatic and revenue growth. Cassie was instrumental in building consensus and laser focus around the organizational Core Values of Normalcy, Dignity, and Hope. She also led the vision-casting and strategy behind the organization’s newest program, Family Resource Center, which extends support for families in need in our community.<br /><br />As a professional fundraiser and nonprofit executive, Cassie has exceeded annual revenue goals of more than $30 million. Her experience includes work at United Way, MGale &amp; Associates, and the East Texas Crisis Center. She is a University of Texas at Tyler graduate and recipient of the prestigious Fort Worth 40-Under-40 Award, Leading Women award recipient, and has led Christ’s Haven to be awarded Best Place for Working Parents for three consecutive years. <br /><br />Cassie balances the professional demands of leading an organization while also the demands of marriage and motherhood. Her volunteer work &amp; hobbies include serving as a board member for the Greater Keller Chamber of Commerce and Teen Life and shuttling daughters to dance practices and cheer competitions. Plus, she is always working toward her lifelong goal of creating the best-ever charcuterie board.<br /><br />About Christ Haven<br /><a href="https://christshaven.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.christhaven.org</a><br /><br />At Christ’s Haven For Children, we are striving to maintain a culture that promotes Normalcy, Dignity, and Hope for all of the youth and families we serve through a trauma-informed, family model of care.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/53113420</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Mar 2023 12:00:03 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/53113420/bbc_ep24_cassie_mcquitty.mp3" length="87020544" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Ashley Nicole Stone</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>In this dynamic and ever-changing world, the power of influence has become a key element to the success of many women.

Sharley is definitely one of them for me. From her vibrant smile and her infectious laugh to her deep heart for people, she just radiates energy of love and compassion in everything she does. We have had MANY deep talks and became an anchor for each other in the toughest of times during the pandemic.<br /><br />On this episode we keep it real about conversations we don't always talk about as women when it comes to securing things from a financial perspective. But, what does that look like if we are no longer on this earth? The empire we are building, will it last without yes? The legacy we leave, will it be one of debt, or stability? We dig into life and life insurance. <br />Meet my soul sister, Sharley!<br /><br />Bio: My name is Sharley Hupalo, a work from home momma of two, who decided to take Health and Wellness to another level. I started as a massage therapist who loved helping people to release their stress and get client's minds into "zen mode" while also melting away muscle pain and welcoming relaxation. Later I became a Fitness instructor, helping women to reach their health and fitness goals. I loved making people feel physically stronger through my bootcamp classes and allowing them to feel sexy and have fun through my dance fitness choreography. In 2017, I decided to take it up a notch and become a financial coach. Allowing people to become educated and aware on all things financial with a focus on Life Insurance and investments. Life Insurance isn't the most exciting topic in the world, but it sure is one of the more important financial decisions you will make, especially if you have a family.
