Can God Really Use Me? It’s time to get rid of excuses!
So many times, we disqualify ourselves from being used by God, saying things like, “God could never use me. I’m a mess up. I don’t even have friends. I’m afraid to talk to people. Or whatever other excuse we come up with. 
God doesn’t want to use you because you’re perfect and have everything together. He wants to use you because you are available and because you know that the only way you can win is with God.

Ladies, we have a big God and He wants to do big things in your life!
Isaiah 26:3 says that God will keep us in perfect peace when we keep our minds focused on Him because we trust in Him. 
You may be walking through a challenging time right now. You may be walking through a hard diagnosis right now. You may be walking through a friendship that failed. No matter what you are going through, there is hope. Keep your eyes on God and watch what He does for you! 
 
It only took a small amount of faith to change the whole trajectory of your life when you gave your life to Jesus. With a small amount of faith, the biggest miracle was performed. You went from darkness to light. From being a slave to sin to being a daughter of the most High King. You were saved from hell and now get to live forever with Jesus.

In the state of TN, every single county has been affected by Human Trafficking and we want to bring awareness to stop it in its tracks. 
 
"Street Hope TN's is a nonprofit organization on a mission to eliminate the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children in Tennessee and provide safe environments to foster hope and healing through Jesus Christ.
 
Statistics cannot define slavery.
94 Is the Average Number of reported children sold for sex online in Tennessee each month. 
13 Is the Average age a child becomes a victim of DMST (Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking).
$99+ Billion reported annual revenue internationally for sex trafficking.
31.9 Million reports of online sexual exploitation of children in 2022.
 
These numbers may get your attention; however, they don’t tell the full story.
Modern-day slavery is a dark and hidden act, an act that often goes undetected and unreported.
The statistics available are based only on cases that have been identified and reported."

Frogs vs. Princes: Who are you attracting? 👑
Are you currently dating, waiting to date, or maybe even hiding a relationship? This week, we’re getting real about the types of guys out there and why waiting is actually your greatest superpower.
Inspired by the incredible training "Princes Take Longer than Frogs" by Dr. Doug Weiss (Psychologist and founder of Heart to Heart Counseling Center), we are breaking down the characteristics of the guys you'll meet and why your "Glow" deserves a Prince, not a Frog.
🐸 What a "Frog" Looks Like:
Frogs are often motivated by their own insecurities and secret habits. Watch out for these red flags:
Motivation by Fear: They use guilt trips like, “If you loved me, you would do _____.”
Secret Sins: Many young men are struggling with porn addiction; what he does in secret will eventually hurt you.
The "Win" Mentality: They are liars who tell you exactly what you want to hear just to "win" you.
👑 What a "Prince" Looks Like:
A Prince takes longer to mature, but he is worth the wait! A true Prince:
Values Purity: He wants to protect your relationship with God and your body.
Has Strong Mentors: He has a solid relationship with a Christian dad or a godly male role model.
Inner Circle: He surrounds himself with Christian friends who push him to grow.
Knows His Identity: He has a clear sense of who God created him to be and speaks life over you.
Don’t Believe the Lies!
Frogs are attracted to girls who don't know their worth. Don't let yourself believe:
❌ "I'm not good enough or I'm broken." (God says you are amazing!)
❌ "I need a man to validate me." (God has already validated you!)
❌ "He said he loves me, so it must be true." (Actions speak louder than "frog" words!)
Special Thanks: Huge shout out to Dr. Doug Weiss for his life-changing training for Christian teen girls. You can learn more about his work at Heart to Heart Counseling Center.

AMA: Elly says, 
“So I recently cut off a friend at school because she doesn't have a relationship with God and I feel like she's going to influence me into the things of this world which will keep me off track with God, but I just have this feeling that I went about this situation in the wrong way by cutting her off completely. 
I asked God for wisdom and guidance and asked him if that was the right thing to do, but I'm still confused if that was the right thing to do. I just have two questions for you. 
 Is cutting off a friend completely for the sake of a relationship with God the right thing to do, and if not, how should I go about this situation?”
The biggest key to ask yourself is, are you influencing them for Jesus, or are they influencing you for the world?

This month on the UncommonTEEN Podcast, we are diving into the friendship of David and Jonathan. They had a friendship that was different from most friendships. It was a friendship of trust, loyalty, and honor. 
What qualities do you look for in a friendship?
Are they trustworthy?
Are they caring?
Do they show you respect?
Do they desire to grow closer in their walk with God?

Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here!This month on the UncommonTEEN Podcast, we learned about the life of Esther and how God used her to change her generation. Esther was what the culture considered physically beautiful, but there was more to Esther than just her physical beauty. She was beautiful both inside and out and the same thing is true for you!  So many times, we think that beauty is defined by our culture or by those around us. They tell us you need to look like this, this, and this to be beautiful. Then we find ourselves scrolling Instagram, looking at all of these girls who fit the cultural definition of beauty, comparing ourselves to them, and hating the way that we look.   It’s hard not to when we are constantly bombarded with the message of, “This is beauty.”   Then, we begin to equate our value to how beautiful we feel that we are, “thinking, “I’m not beautiful, I’m worthless.”  Ladies, if you have listened to this podcast for any length of time, you know that at the end of the UncommonTEEN Podcast, we always end with,  “I am beautiful. I am valuable. My beauty and my value, they don’t change. Even if someone fails to see how incredible God made me.   There is so much truth to that, which is why I encourage you to repeat it after me and mean it with all your heart. You are beautiful and it doesn’t matter what anyone else says about you.  Let me just tell you, many of the girls that we think are beautiful actually hate the way they look as well and compare themselves to others.   Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God has made everything beautiful in its time.   Ladies, this is your time…you are not on this earth by mistake! God created you just the way you are and you are beautiful.   But do you know what makes you even more beautiful? True beauty, just like with Esther comes from a relationship with God.    Support the showWant a little extra sparkle this month? ✨ Grab your December Glow Mail and soak in God's Radiant Love for you!

Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here!If you’ve been to UncommonTEEN Live, our conference, you’ve heard me say these 3 phrases:1.    Dare to be Beautiful2.    Dare to be Confident3.    Dare to Shine (or Lead) But why do I start these phrases with the word “dare?”  The definition of dare is: to have courage, to have strength of mind to undertake anything, to be bold, to not be afraid, to challenge.    love this: to have courage, to be bold, to not be afraid.   The reason I start each of those phrases with dare is because it takes courage, boldness, and faith to truly be beautiful (which we’ll talk about more next week).   It takes courage, boldness, and faith to shine your light for Jesus, and it also takes courage, boldness, and faith to be confident in the world we live in, and that’s what we are going to talk about today.  This month, as we talk about lessons that we can learn from Esther. She is definitely someone that I think of as someone who had courage; she had boldness and stepped out in faith to change her generation.   When she was presented with a problem, she could have given up and said that there was no hope, but instead, she chose to step out and do something that could have ended in her death.  She was at an impasse. On the one hand, she could die because of a decree made by an evil man named Haman, who was going to wipe out the Jews. Esther was a Jew. However, in order to save the Jews, she had to see the king uninvited, and nobody saw the king uninvited. If they did and he didn’t want to see them, they would immediately be put to death.   So, Esther has a choice between death because she’s a Jew or death because she is about to go see a king uninvited. If you’re new to the Bible or new to the UncommonTEEN podcast, I encourage you to take time to read the book of Esther and then go back and listen to the last two episodes: “God’s Got You” and “Step Into Your Purpose.” I know it will bless you!  There is a fight for our lives. We not only see this with Esther…but we have seen this since the beginning of time. Just look at this culture!  There is a fight against your identity.  There is a fight against your friends.   There is a fight against your purpose.  There is a fight against your excitement for God...your walk with God. There is also a fight against your confidence. It is so important to make sure we are walking with God-confidence, NOT Self-Confidence.  Support the showWant a little extra sparkle this month? ✨ Grab your December Glow Mail and soak in God's Radiant Love for you!

Have a question you want me to answer on the podcast? Ask Here!A lot of times when we hear that God created us for a purpose, we instantly look to the past and how we don’t qualify. Growing up, I was very shy and extremely insecure. I couldn’t even look someone in the eyes and talk to them. I didn’t grow up a Christian, but when I was 17 is when I found God and made Jesus my Lord and Savior. Shortly after graduating high school, God spoke to my heart (not with audible words, but in my heart) and told me I was going to be working with teens. I accepted that right away.  However, when God called me to start the UncommonTEEN and the UncommonTEEN Podcast, I fought back hard…making all of these excuses as to why I wasn’t qualified.It took the shut down for my eyes to be opened. That first Wednesday night that we didn’t have youth ministry, and we had to do church online, I was crying out to God because my heart was breaking for you all. I asked God, “God, how can I reach these teens if we can’t even see them.” And God so gently spoke to my heart and said, “You’re not just holding yourself back. You’re holding these girls back.” And that was all it took. Jeremiah was also a teenager that was called by God, just like Esther was and just like you are. We see when Jeremiah is called, he too, pushed back against God.  Jeremiah 1:5-8 says, and again this is God speaking, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born, I consecrated you (I set you apart for a purpose); I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”  God is saying this very thing about you. Before you were formed in your mother’s womb, God knew every little detail about you. He understood your personality, He created every detail so perfectly, He knew every decision you would ever make and He still chose to make you and just like with Jeremiah, He set you apart for a specific purpose as well.  In verse 6, we see Jeremiah push back. He says, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.”  Just like with I did; Jeremiah is making excuses for why he can’t do what God has called him to do. He’s looking at his past and saying, “don’t you know who I am? I don’t even know what to say. Why don’t you pick someone else. I’m just a teenager. There have got to be people who could do a better job than I can.”  But listen to God’s response in verses 7 and 8, He says, “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.”  Just like God is telling Jeremiah, He’s also telling you, “Don’t look at your past. Don’t look at all those things you see as flaws. Don’t look at why you don’t qualify. Don’t make excuses for why you can’t do what I have called you to do. I will be with you.
