Rooted

Are you a Christian? This is a question we hope you are answering with a big YES! But stats tell us different – many people on social media where this blog will land are not Christians, but we beg you regardless of your faith belief – to please keep reading!! This globe we live on is not reflecting love – we see this in our newsfeeds everyday. We see actions of hate, slandering, murder, cheating, and division. It is heartbreaking and some days we can’t even comprehend the evil. But we at Rooted do have hope – our world can change. It can happen, we can reflect love to others.…

As Christian leaders within the workplace, we are to make decisions guided by Faith, not fear or frustration! When we choose Faith – we have to wait on God’s timing! Many of us say we believe in the promise God has given us…but then we have absolutely no patience to wait on Him. Waiting on God’s timing is such a hard part of our Faith journey as a Christian. Before I practiced my Faith daily, my personality as a leader was to come up with a solution and fix the frustration, fear, or obstacle immediately. I was the classic microwave leader lacking empathy and patience for others. For me to…

It is Monday! Yay!! As you move forward with your week, make the time each morning to read your Bible! The greatest means of God’s guidance is in His Word. In the OT, the people of God did not have this incredible book of God’s ways and wisdom. They asked for signs and questioned God often. Today…we do have the Bible – as Christians we need to read it, know it, and live it. My upcoming week is not looking normal, there is some uncertainty and things that may happen that are out of my control…this has caused some fear and anxiety to creep in. But…one thing that is certain…

Comparison. Now that’s a slippery slope. And unfortunately such a part of our human nature. What is one thing or person you’ve compared yourself to this week that left you feeling inadequate? Or perhaps you had a moment where you felt like “whew I’m glad I’m not struggling like they are.” Guilty. Comparing ourselves to others leads to a path of pride and vanity. Paul is addressing the Corinthians because they were comparing him to other flashy, smooth talking preachers that were only saying what the people wanted to hear. These other preachers had large followings; they appeared to be very successful. “But they are only comparing themselves with each…

2020 was a year we will never forget. And yet here we are in August 2021 and we see 2020 slowly unfolding right before us. Again. As women rooted in faith I encourage you to fight through this battle as you lead your business, your family, your friends with God’s mighty weapons. Paul reminded the Corinthians that we are just merely humans and that human methods won’t win our battles. “We are humans, but we don’t wage war as humans do.” Satan is attacking because he sees people accepting Christ. He sees our youth rising up in our churches. He sees us working for God and not for man. Paul…

Many times in life we feel overwhelmed and say to ourselves how are we going to get through this day? You may be facing an obstacle right now, having these overwhelming feelings, and wondering what to do? Stop and pray! Don’t ask for anything in prayer, just ask to be with Him. Be silent, still, turn your thoughts inward toward your heart and long to be in His presence. Honestly, we have a hard time doing this in our fast paced world, but try it. Decide on an amount of time and just be still – seek God – pray to be in His presence. This type of prayer of…

Be encouraged today and super confident that our God is in control. You may be going through a trial right now – put your trust in the Lord – He protects the faithful! Go read the Book of Daniel and watch God work in your life – find your security in His sovereignty. Stay Rooted, Lisa & Heather 

Good morning!! Big shout out to…. Chick-fil-A Denver (NC) this morning. Yesterday at Pursuit Church – our friend and owner Shannon Munze Holland of the Chick Fil A in Denver told Heather and I she uses our Rooted posts each morning to inspire her team! This is an example of a leader who is concerned for her people! Christians that lead must not forget about the spiritual condition of those being led. Heather and I trust God will use His Word to touch who He wants. We just have to stay faithful to what He put on our hearts and keep sharing it! Thank you Shannon for inspiring us, God’s…

Each and every Working Woman Rooted in Faith is serving in the biggest mission field each and every day. You may not think of yourself as a missionary but that’s exactly what you are! Welcome to the team! All companies, departments, teams and individuals are measured on their performance. For some it’s revenue, production units, satisfied customers, student grades, hours, miles….the list goes on. I work in a manufacturing environment so each hour we are reviewing key metrics that tell us how we are performing. Visual results drive performance. We want to win! But working in the mission field doesn’t equate to results that we can easily see on charts…

No pressure right? This verse will really stop you in your tracks and make you reflect. Are my words and actions representing God? The workplace is our mission field & we represent the body of believers. We are ministers of God!! And eyes are watching. Throughout the course of the day, unbelievers are observing you. What do they see? Being a workplace missionary requires discipline and self awareness. Work in such a way that draws people closer to….and not away from…..God. 2 Corinthians 6:3: “We live in such a way that no one will stumble because of us, and no one will find fault with our ministry. In everything we…
