In Week 3 of our "Walking In ALOHA" 8-Week Workshop, we dove into the powerful connection between Leadership & Love, two essential pillars of living your God potential life. Leadership is not just about guiding others; it begins with leading yourself in alignment with God's plan for you. When you understand the depth of God's love for you, it becomes the foundation from which true leadership flows.

This week, we explored how to step into leadership by first recognizing your worth as a child of God, created fearfully and wonderfully (Psalm 139:14). True leadership requires that you cultivate a deep love for yourself as God loves you, replacing negative self-talk with affirmations rooted in biblical truth. We discussed how learning to love yourself enables you to love others authentically, fulfilling the greatest commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39).

Leadership involves making intentional choices that align with God's vision for your life. It requires self-discipline, personal responsibility, and trust in God's strength to guide you through life’s challenges. Whether in personal relationships or in larger spheres of influence, your leadership is a testimony of God's grace working in you. This week’s session reminded us that love is both the foundation and the driving force behind true leadership.

Here are some key takeaways from today's session:

Leadership begins within: You cannot lead others effectively without first leading yourself through faith, discipline, and love.

Love is at the heart of leadership: Learning to love yourself as God loves you allows you to reflect that love to others and lead with compassion.

Growth through discipline: True leadership means aligning your life with God’s word, including taking care of your body, mind, and spirit, and loving others as God commands.

I encourage you to continue this journey by sharing what you've learned with a friend. Every journey is better when you have the right company! Whether through discussion or buying the book to study together, having a community of support can make this transformative experience even more impactful. Don't hesitate to invite others to join you in walking in ALOHA. Let's build a ripple effect of love and leadership, one step at a time.

Be sure to grab your copy of Walking In ALOHA, 5 Steps to Living Your God Potential Life and continue studying with those close to you. The transformation is even greater when shared, and God places the right people along our path to help us grow in faith, leadership, and love.

Let’s keep walking together in ALOHA, and remember, God is leading you every step of the way. Be blessed, and keep shining your light!

Welcome back to Week 3 of our Walking In ALOHA 8-Week Workshop! Today, we’re diving deep into Affirmations & Actions, a crucial step in living your God-given potential. Last night’s recording was from the front seat of my car at my husband’s class reunion. He told everyone I wasn’t feeling well and that I was "doing my homework." LoL! Why didn’t he just say I was recording a podcast? Well, here we are again, re-recording this episode because last night’s was brief, and I feel like I didn’t cover everything. So, let’s take our time to truly embrace this step.

Talking Points:

In this chapter, we explored the incredible power of affirmations, but more importantly, actions. Affirmations aren’t just positive statements to make you feel good in the moment—they’re life-transforming declarations when rooted in the Word of God. It’s easy to fall into the trap of worldly affirmations, focusing only on material success or self-centered goals, but we’re called to affirm God’s truth over our lives. Romans 12:2 reminds us, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

By using affirmations from the Bible, we align our minds, hearts, and actions with God’s will. Affirming, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14) or “God’s plans for me are good, with a future and hope” (Jeremiah 29:11), transforms how we see ourselves and empowers us to take bold actions.

But affirmations alone aren't enough. As James 2:17 says, "Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." So, what actions are you taking to live out the truth you’re affirming? In this episode, we talk about putting our feet to our faith—taking intentional steps toward what God has already declared over our lives.

Are you affirming God’s promises and stepping out in faith?

Are your actions aligned with your affirmations?

What are you speaking into your life? And what are you doing to make that a reality?

Remember, each small action we take in faith brings us closer to the life God has planned for us.

Invitation:

I encourage you to share this episode with a friend and invite them to walk in ALOHA alongside you. Every journey is better with the right company! Whether you buy the book, start a small study group, or just encourage one another, make sure your affirmations and actions are grounded in the Word of God—not the world. It’s in His truth that we find true transformation.

Transformational Quote: “Affirmation without action is just aspiration. But when we root our affirmations in God’s Word and move in faith, we align with His perfect plan and witness the transformation He’s promised.” Michelle Ebalaroza Kawano

Let’s keep walking in ALOHA together—affirming, acting, and becoming who God created us to be. Be blessed, and don’t forget to share this journey with others. Each step forward is a testimony of God’s faithfulness, and when we walk in His truth, we not only transform our own lives but inspire others to do the same. Let’s continue speaking life through affirmations rooted in His Word and taking bold actions to live out the destiny He’s prepared for us. Together, we can shine the light of God’s love and grace in all we do.
