Is your business aligned with Kingdom purpose or are you building in your own strength and wondering why it still feels like pushing a boulder uphill?

In this episode of The Kingdom LeadHERship Podcast, host Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne speaks directly to the Kingdom-called woman who has done the inner work, knows God has placed a business assignment on her life, and is now asking the honest question: how do I actually build this the right way?

This is not a conversation about strategy in the world's sense. This is a conversation about the profound difference between a driven woman and a called woman — and what it looks like to surrender your business to God not as a spiritual formality, but as your actual operating model.

In this episode you will hear:

• Why most business strategies fail Kingdom women — and what to build on instead
• The difference between building from striving and building from assignment
• What it practically looks like to let God be your strategist on a Tuesday morning when your inbox is full and your revenue is not where it needs to be
• How to use peace as a directional tool in your business decisions
• Why wholeness is not just a spiritual outcome — it is your most powerful strategic advantage
• Proverbs 16:3, Isaiah 30:21, and Philippians 4:7 applied to real Kingdom business leadership

Key Scriptures: Proverbs 16:3 | Isaiah 30:21 | Philippians 4:7

This episode is for the woman who loves God, is doing all the right things, and still feels like something is off. The friction you are feeling may not be a failure. It may be grace.

What does it look like to say yes to God — not once, not twice, but over and over again, in every season of life? In this powerful episode of the Kingdom LeadHERship Podcast, host Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne sits down with Dr. Sharon Arrindell — transformational speaker, board-certified Christian marriage and family therapist, Maxwell Leadership certified coach, best-selling author, professor, and fashion designer — for a conversation about resilience, restoration, and what it truly means to lead from wholeness.

Dr. Sharon shares her journey from Jamaica to building a fashion house in her basement, through a devastating hurricane that destroyed everything she'd built, a broken marriage, and a season of profound loss — and how God met her in her lowest moments and redirected her entire life.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Dr. Sharon's grandmother sparked her love of fashion and design
• The hurricane that collapsed her fashion house, her marriage, and her plans
• What God whispered to her in the fetal position on the floor
• Why you cannot lead effectively from a place of brokenness
• The story behind her book Kingdom Couture: Where Etiquette and Class Matter
• How Inspired Creation was accepted to New York Fashion Week — Saturday, September 12th at 8:30 PM
• What she would say to the woman who wonders if her gifts are still valid

Episode 7: Why Gifted, Called Women Still Carry Unhealed Wounds

Featuring Samantha Williams

What happens when a gifted, called, anointed woman leads from a wounded place instead of a healed one?

In Episode 7, host Stacy Jo sits down with Apostle Samantha Williams — international speaker, transformational coach, pastor of over 16 years, co-founder of Soul Harvest Creative Praise Ministries and SWIM LLC, and member of the ACBW Vision and Leadership Advisory Council — for a conversation about inner healing, identity, and what it truly means to lead from a whole place.

Samantha shares the pattern she kept seeing in the lives of powerful women in ministry and leadership — women who could preach, teach, and prophesy, but who were still operating from unresolved wounds. She also gets deeply personal, sharing her own journey of forgiving a father who abandoned her, the moment she finally released it to God, and what happened when she led him to Christ in his living room — just months before he had a brain aneurysm and never woke up again.

In this episode:

- Why gifted, called women can still be operating from a deeply wounded place without recognizing it

- The signs that a leader is leading from a wound rather than from wholeness

- The difference between forgiving from your head and forgiving from your heart — and how to close that 18-inch gap

- Why identity in Christ is the foundation that determines your destiny

- Practical steps every woman can take right now to begin her inner healing journey including Samantha's powerful letter-writing exercise

- How to access Samantha's free inner healing guide

Key Scriptures: Psalm 51:10 | Proverbs 4:23 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 | 1 Peter 5:7

She has served in ministry for over 30 years, pastored for over 16 years, and ministers internationally in Kenya, Ghana, the Virgin Islands, and beyond.

Host Stacy Jo welcomes listeners to Kingdom LeadHERship, a podcast for women pursuing kingdom purpose with faith and intention, and addresses the woman who has already said yes to her calling but feels stuck because the fruit isn’t visible and progress seems slow.

She explains that waiting is not punishment, abandonment, or wasted time, citing Habakkuk 2:3 and Psalm 27:14, and shares that God uses waiting seasons to deepen roots, refine and remove impurities, align circumstances and relationships, and build trust in Him rather than outcomes.

She offers practical guidance to lead well while waiting: keep showing up to today’s assignment, protect time with God, refuse comparison, and speak the vision regularly.

This week's Kingdom Challenge: Write the vision God gave you — not a business plan, not a strategy document, just the vision in your own words. Read it out loud as a declaration. Date it. Keep it somewhere you'll see it. The vision is worth protecting, and you are worth reminding.

Reflection Questions:

1. What narrative have you been telling yourself about what your waiting season means — and what does God say about it?
2. Looking back at previous seasons of waiting, what did God build in you that you can see now?
3. What is one specific way you can lead more faithfully within the season you are in right now, even before the breakthrough comes?

Is there something God has been asking you to do that you have been putting off until you feel more ready? Maybe it is launching something, starting something, or saying yes to something He has been speaking into your life for months — maybe years.

In Episode 5, host Stacy Jo tackles one of the most spiritually sophisticated traps the enemy sets for Kingdom-called women: the myth of readiness. This is not about being careless or rushing ahead of God. It is about learning the difference between wisdom and fear — and recognizing which one has been doing the talking in your life.

Stacy Jo gets honest about her own journey of hesitation, including stepping out of the legal field to build Freedom Support Solutions and initially running from the call to found ACBW, and what she learned about obedience on the other side of both.

In this episode:

- Why waiting until you feel ready may be keeping you exactly where the enemy wants you

- The three things hiding underneath the feeling of not being ready: fear of failure, wounds of unworthiness, and the desire for control

- What Esther, Ruth, and Mary teach us about moving before you feel prepared

- 4 practical steps to move forward when everything in you says you are not ready yet

- Isaiah 43:19, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Joshua 1:9 applied to Kingdom leadership

- Reflection questions and your Kingdom challenge for the week

- Closing prayer

Key Scriptures: Isaiah 43:19 | Proverbs 3:5-6 | Joshua 1:9

This episode is for the woman who has been waiting to feel ready, the woman who knows she is called but keeps finding reasons to prepare a little longer, and the woman who is ready to stop waiting and start moving.

You do not prepare your way in. You obey your way in.

Reflection Questions for This Week:

1. What is the assignment or next step you have been putting off until you feel ready — and how long have you been waiting?

2. When you look underneath the feeling of not being ready, what do you find? Fear of failure, unworthiness, a desire for control, or something else?

3. What is the next obedient step God is asking you to take right now — before you feel fully ready?

Your Kingdom Challenge: Identify the one thing God is asking you to do that you have been delaying, and this week take one concrete step toward it. Make the call. Send the email. Write the first page. Say yes to the meeting. One step.

Is there anyone in your life right now who truly knows what you are carrying in your leadership? Not the polished version. The real one.

In this episode, host Stacy Jo tackles one of the most common and most dangerous patterns she sees in the lives of Kingdom-called women: leading in isolation.

Stacy Jo gets personal about her own journey — the particular loneliness of carrying a God-given assignment that the people around her could not fully understand, her frustrating search for authentic Christian community, being hurt in communities that were not what they claimed to be, and how God ultimately said "build it." That moment of obedience is where the Association of Christian Business Women (ACBW) was born. Not from a business plan. From a scar.

In this episode:

- Why isolation is one of the enemy's most effective tools against women in Kingdom leadership

- The lie that sounds like wisdom and strength but keeps gifted women alone and vulnerable

- 3 reasons women in leadership avoid community even when they need it most

- What true Kingdom community looks like and what it is not

- The real story behind ACBW and why Stacy Jo almost did not build it

- 4 practical steps to begin building Kingdom community this week

- Reflection questions and your Kingdom challenge

- Closing prayer

Key Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 | Proverbs 27:17 | Proverbs 15:22

This episode is for the woman who is pressing forward in her calling but doing it largely alone — and the woman who has been hurt in community before and is not sure she can trust again. You were not designed to lead in a vacuum. You were designed to be sharpened.

Reflection Questions for This Week:

1. Is there anyone in your life right now who truly knows what you are carrying in your leadership? If not, what has kept you from allowing that kind of closeness?

2. Have you been hurt in community before in a way that has made you reluctant to try again? What would it look like to bring that wound to God?

3. Who has God already placed in your path that He may be asking you to pursue real Kingdom community with?

Your Kingdom Challenge: Reach out to one woman God brings to mind and take one step toward real community this week. One step. One woman.

Episode 3: The 4 Signs You're Still Leading Like the World

Have you been leading from performance, approval-seeking, and striving — wondering why it still feels so exhausting even when the results are there?

In this episode, we name something that quietly gets in the way of every Kingdom-called woman's assignment: the worldly leadership framework she's been carrying since she was young. Host and entrepreneur, Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne, gets personal, sharing her own journey from people-pleasing and performance-based leadership — rooted in years in the legal field and a lifetime of hustle — to the ongoing process of learning to lead from rest, identity, and obedience.

In this episode, we cover:

→ The 4 signs you're still operating from worldly leadership patterns

→ What it means to lead from identity, not achievement

→ Why busyness is not the same as fruitfulness

→ The role of community in Kingdom transformation → 3 practical starting points to begin laying it down

→ This week's Kingdom challenge and reflection questions

→ A closing prayer for every woman walking this journey

Key Scriptures: Romans 12:2 | Matthew 11:28-30 | Matthew 11:29-30

This episode is for the woman who loves God, is doing all the right things, and still feels like she's one step away from losing everything she's built. You're not alone — and there's a better way.

🙏 Reflection Questions for This Week:

1. What specific leadership pattern did the world give you that you've been carrying into your Kingdom assignment?

2. In what area of your leadership are you striving when God is asking you to rest and trust?

3. What would your leadership look like if approval from people was completely off the table?

In this episode of the Kingdom LeadHERship Podcast, we move beyond the “why” of leadership and into the deeper question many women quietly wrestle with:

Do you actually know what God has called you to do?

So many women are leading, building, and serving… yet still feel exhausted, misaligned, or unfulfilled. The issue is not a lack of calling. The issue is misalignment with the assignment.

In this conversation, we unpack how wounds like rejection and scarcity can distort your vision, causing you to pursue approval instead of obedience and safety instead of faith.

You’ll learn:
• Why healing is the gateway to calling—not a delay
• How to recognize when you’re operating in the wrong assignment
• The difference between striving and Spirit-led leadership
• Four practical, prayer-driven questions to help you gain clarity

Scripture reminds us in Psalm 147:3 that God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. That healing is not separate from your calling—it is foundational to it.

Your next step:
If you're ready to stop doing this alone and start walking in clarity, go to www.acbw.org
and get connected to the Association of Christian Businesswomen.

Clarity comes faster in community.
