By Faith – Motivation Monday With Coach Nancy of Abounding Faith Coaching and Consulting

Ever wonder how introverted INFJ me has had the courage, audacity and grit to go on 5 short-term missions trips over the years (including to the Amazon Jungle, Andes Mountains & AFRICA – Ethiopia) as well as to write 5 Christian Living books, host conferences and a podcast and speak to a group of Christians at the United Nations, students at Nyack Christian College and give my brief testimony at my home church, Times Square Church, etc …

Can I tell you a pretty obvious secret? None of it was my idea. It was all …

BY FAITH!


When God called me to lay down my successful journalism career years ago, I had NO idea what He had in store for me. He’s been leading and guiding me all along the way. Has it been easy. NO! Has it been worth it? YES!


God knows what’s on the other side of our yes.


If you’ve got some kingdom dreams burning inside of you and you’re unsure about your next steps, I’d love to prayerfully help you gain the:

  • Clarity
  • Confidence
  • Courage

to live your God-given dreams. You can learn more about having me be your personal Christian Life Coach by clicking here.

Keep moving forward by feisty faith!

Blessings on your faith journey,

– Coach Nancy, Abounding Faith Coaching and Consulting

“Stay in the Race” – Today’s Feisty Faith Devotional Entry

NOVEMBER 9

Stay in the Race

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.

1 Corinthians 9:24

The only way to finish your race is to keep, prayerfully, putting one foot in front of the other.

Don’t let quitting your race be an option.

Exercise your spiritual muscles by staying in the Word, praying, serving, and following God’s lead.

Just when you think you’re never going to make it, may you feel God’s grace strengthening you and carrying you toward your big finish.

You can do it, and God is with you all the way to the end.

“Revealing Secrets” – Today’s Feisty Faith Devotional Entry

NOVEMBER 2

Revealing Secrets

The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.

Psalm 25:14

God doesn’t have favorites, but He does reveal certain things to those who consistently spend time with Him.

The more you seek God in prayer and through the Scriptures, the more you’ll get to know Him. You’ll see how He worked in the lives of the people mentioned in the Bible. You’ll learn about God’s traits by how He provided for His people, disciplined them, and astounded them.

As you reflect on your own life, you’ll see how God has been carefully unveiling your story as well.

May God reveal hidden treasures and mysteries to you in your quiet time with Him.

Continue taking time to hear from God, and continue taking prayerful action by faith.

May God trust you enough to give you a preview of all the goodness around the corner for you.

“Firm Foundation” – Entry From NEW Feisty Faith Devotional

OCTOBER 26

Firm Foundation

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Matthew 7:24–25

When you’re rooted and grounded in Christ, you can be pounded on by hurricane winds and torrential rain and still have the fortitude to stand.

Jesus Christ is your firm foundation.

As the water rages and wind howls, may you keep your peace, knowing that they won’t tear you apart.

Your challenges won’t overpower you. Your enemies won’t defeat you.

May you stand on the promises of God found in the Bible, and may you see how God will bring you into your victory season, at His set time.
