- 0:59Speaker 1: I have been studying for the last almost a year AI artificial intelligence really gun hoe with it.
- 1:05Speaker 1: But about last week especially through this, just this past weekend okay, I started getting restless.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I was restless because I really believed, because I was so focused on artificial intelligence and trying to teach, that I lost my original calling.
- 1:22Speaker 1: For years I had a Kingdom Mentor Academy, so for years my passion was to help women find their voice through their identity.
- 1:31Speaker 1: Back in 2018, 19, 20, up until my husband passed in 2022, I think it started in 19,.
- 1:39Speaker 1: I had a Kingdom Mentor Academy.
- 1:41Speaker 1: What do we do with find your voice, share your voice, market your voice?
- 1:46Speaker 1: The Kingdom Mentor Academy was really just.
- 1:50Speaker 1: We were mainly looking at finding our voice.
- 1:53Speaker 1: There was like, as I was, and I really believe in AI, don't give me no.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I really believe you can use the tools of AI.
- 1:59Speaker 1: But as I was processing it this weekend, I'll be honest, I was like wait a minute.
- 2:07Speaker 1: I started, wait a minute.
- 2:08Speaker 1: I love faith entrepreneurs.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I love helping women find their voice.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I love helping women prosper and be able to find the tools they need to go forward.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I love to help professional women.
- 2:23Speaker 1: They have done it, they have been there, but they feel maybe a little burned out and they maybe even feel, even though they're in this major corporate job, that they've lost their voice.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Some of you have lost your voice because of trauma.
- 2:34Speaker 1: I'll step up to the plate and say I'm in counseling, I'm in therapy, neuropsycho, right now to find my voice.
- 2:43Speaker 1: So when I speak to you, I speak from a scar, not an open wound.
- 2:47Speaker 1: So I say all that to say I want to just think of this.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I want you just to be thinking of this.
- 2:52Speaker 1: A friend of mine pointed this verse out and then, as I was praying this morning, it just lit up on me Because, as I said, I went to chat GPT.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I said I need to go back to the basics, so I'm going to show you how I use chat GPT.
- 3:06Speaker 1: I put in there I need a bio statement, I need a line, I need a direction like that.
- 3:14Speaker 1: This is what I love to do.
- 3:16Speaker 1: I love to help women who feel voiceless find their voice.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Type in that in.
- 3:22Speaker 1: I love podcasting to help people find their voice.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I love teaching how easy it is, so I'm typing it in how easy it is to use chat GPT, like I'm doing it right now, to find their voice, to use it to help propel their voice.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I love coaching with personal professional development.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I love speaking, getting called to speak on here or being called to speak on stage, and I just said, excuse me.
- 3:50Speaker 1: I just said, hey, I need some help.
- 3:51Speaker 1: What would be a good bio?
- 3:53Speaker 1: And as I kept going back and forth, now I don't make a shorter, I don't like that word.
- 4:01Speaker 1: No, don't say that I don't like goals.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Then he said something like you're a voice catalyst and it pretty well described what I love to do, because I want to get the faith based entrepreneur in there.
- 4:14Speaker 1: That's great Chat, gpt.
- 4:16Speaker 1: But guess what I did from there?
- 4:20Speaker 1: I went to the presence of God.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I went to just talking to God about it.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I said God, okay, this is getting closer, but what are you saying?
- 4:27Speaker 1: And that's where God unlocked something.
- 4:30Speaker 1: He said voice revival and something clicked.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I've always liked the idea of being a revivalist, but the passion of being a voice revivalist runs very deep into my background.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I should have started with that.
- 4:48Speaker 1: When I was a kid we lived in this old house with lots of steps up to the top and as a kid I would climb those steps, get on the top and I would preach.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I was Catholic.
- 5:02Speaker 1: It was a good homily.
- 5:05Speaker 1: That same house dad brought home a tape recorder.
- 5:11Speaker 1: You can imagine what my new toy was.
- 5:13Speaker 1: We moved, there were no steps.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I was lost for a second until I saw an apple cart Got up on top of the apple cart.
- 5:21Speaker 1: I knew Jesus then and I did the birds and the bees and the apple trees.
- 5:26Speaker 1: They needed Jesus.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Apple cart, apple computer, apple phone with filters of course, so you can often look what's lined in your DNA from what you like to do as a child.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I have friends who used to sell coloring pages of books and she's an amazing entrepreneur.
- 5:48Speaker 1: I have another young lady who used to dream and use these Barbie things that were a business.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I have another friend who suffered a brain injury as a child.
- 6:00Speaker 1: She is repairing dreams and minds through the neuropsychal process today.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Whether you like what's in your past maybe there's some trauma or think of what you did when you played then God brings you a full circle where you get to speak to the person you once were.
- 6:18Speaker 1: You get to teach the person you once were.
- 6:21Speaker 1: You get to coach.
- 6:22Speaker 1: So I told you about Hebrews.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I'm going to try to make this fairly short.
- 6:27Speaker 1: T Thursdays, you're stepping up to the plate.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I was stepping up to the plate and voice revivalist hit me, so I started to weave.
- 6:37Speaker 1: And then, god, when you step up, when you really put everything you have on God because I really did this weekend I was like all over the place.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I had got triggered major league a few days before.
- 6:48Speaker 1: When I mean triggered, it usually centers around this one thing yeah, it means all of a sudden, I don't feel like I'm good enough, or I feel unseen, unappreciated just my issues.
- 7:02Speaker 1: Okay, then I'm working through.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Not good enough, that's.
- 7:06Speaker 1: Why can you relate to that?
- 7:07Speaker 1: I'm just not good enough.
- 7:08Speaker 1: So all weekend I processed that by Sunday night, that's when I went to chat GPT after I had prayed all weekend and just really, I'll be honest, I grumbled.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I'm like why does this pressure on me?
- 7:22Speaker 1: Is it the death of my husband?
- 7:24Speaker 1: No, it's not that, it's just I just want to be at my best, god.
- 7:29Speaker 1: And then, sunday night, that voice catalyst word came.
- 7:32Speaker 1: And then, as I prayed Sunday night into the next few days this is Thursday God said I've called you to a voice revivalist.
- 7:40Speaker 1: You want to know what my statement is?
- 7:42Speaker 1: I am a voice revivalist for faith based entrepreneurs who feel voiceless.
- 7:48Speaker 1: With coaching, podcasting, ai courses, along with personal and professional development, I help women find their voice, prosper and step into the speaker, into the business woman that God created them to be.
- 8:04Speaker 1: So God's created you.
- 8:06Speaker 1: He's put it, lined it in your DNA.
- 8:08Speaker 1: You already maybe be there, but you're feeling a little stuck, even though you have a very good job.
- 8:14Speaker 1: But you want to use your voice more.
- 8:17Speaker 1: And guess what?
- 8:19Speaker 1: I hate to say you.
- 8:22Speaker 1: There are some saints lined up in Hebrews 11, just for a few, who are waiting for you.
- 8:27Speaker 1: But when I let me preface this by this takes his faith because that gives us access to him.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Okay, it takes access to him to remove the boundaries, to destroy the yolks of trauma and just basically make you a living demonstration of God's desire to bless people and to prosper you.
- 8:53Speaker 1: But he has only two conditions, as I said believe that he is and believe that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Let me say it in the word Hebrews 11, verse what six without faith is impossible to please God, because who he who believes him exists and is God is a rewarder of them who diligently seek you.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Here it is without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must first believe he exists and that he rewards those who diligently seek him.
- 9:32Speaker 1: So I said there are saints of old waiting for you.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I want you, in this podcast is over, to open up Hebrews 11, read it from verse one and then to this last verse.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Two verses verse Hebrews 11, verse 39 and 40.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Listen to this.
- 9:52Speaker 1: These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us, so that only together with us they would be made perfect.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Okay, now, granted, in Christ, we're made perfect.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Victurize on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith.
- 10:16Speaker 1: They didn't have Jesus.
- 10:18Speaker 1: So look at that guys, the hall of fame of faith.
- 10:22Speaker 1: They are waiting, god, since God planned something better for us because we have Jesus, so that only together with us they would be made perfect.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Okay, let's just stop the podcast, the episode, right now.
- 10:35Speaker 1: That is amazing.
- 10:39Speaker 1: God is just looking for access to your heart, for you to come.
- 10:42Speaker 1: It's real simple.
- 10:44Speaker 1: You believe that he is and that he's a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
- 10:49Speaker 1: So the round circle about being a voice revivalist, I start.
- 10:56Speaker 1: I believe it starts with first speaking what God says.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Take me back to my purpose.
- 11:01Speaker 1: I've been speaking what God says for many years, teaching Bible studies, leading kingdom groups about the word of God.
- 11:09Speaker 1: But it's like well circle, okay, I have to get healed.
- 11:13Speaker 1: I'm healing my trauma, so you can only release those who are voiceless, god saying by allowing God to touch those painful places of trauma and bring transformation, deep healing, into your heart and your mind.
- 11:28Speaker 1: I'm calling myself a voice revivalist, but God's calling me a voice revivalist for you.
- 11:34Speaker 1: I just want you to ponder that.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I want you to, for homework for this podcast, go to Hebrews 11, and it's.
- 11:44Speaker 1: This is the way I when I first read it.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Or my friend of mine, faith I'm Michelle Tuphard, with faith and business on Thursdays, we we do that at night and I remember her just getting wrecked by that verse and I saw it and I got rekt.
- 11:58Speaker 1: So here we are, two, two people on a podcast, just speechless.
- 12:01Speaker 1: They're waiting for us, michelle.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I Said door.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, they're waiting for us.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Come on, come on, come on.
- 12:11Speaker 1: So now I understand the challenge by my business coach to have a podcast twice a week because I have his guests and I'm not really getting to speak.
