Simply Joyful Podcast — Elisa Pulliam: Trusting in God's Goodness with Unblinded Faith
Beyond this, we also talk about Lisa's incredible ministry of mentoring. It's almost a lost art in this day and age. Most women crave the idea of having another woman pour into them and encourage them along life’s journey. Lisa has built a ministry based on biblical mentoring and helping woman to grow closer to the Lord. It was so neat learning more about how she has been building “intentional relationships rooted in the Word of God.” I loved that definition of mentoring.
And, yes, to address the elephant on the page–her name is Elisa, but she goes by Lisa. She'll tell her great story about her name change in the show, too. Get ready to be encouraged!
Listen Here:
Highlights from the Show:
- Elisa Pulliam wears many hats — writer, life coach, mom, wife — she's amazing! She says that she’s just a woman on a journey trying to figure out who she is. She also has a set of twins. She says her twins were God's little surprise to their family. We also chat about why she prefers to go by Lisa. I just love her story. So precious!
- I enjoy prepping for the podcast and researching my guests a bit before they come on. I found out that Lisa has a heart for mentoring teen girls! So much of what she is doing now through her business and ministry has to do with this mentoring element. Mentoring is such a lost art. I asked Lisa to share a little about some of the beautiful things that she has been able to see through mentoring. She also shares about her mentoring course, Impact Mentoring for Women's Ministry, that helps you start a mentoring ministry. You can check that out on her website for free!
- One of the central elements of Biblical mentorship is getting women to encourage other women to deepen their relationship with the Lord and get into the Word. That's why I love that Lisa's newest book, Unblinded Faith, is a devotional. I asked Lisa what the inspiration behind Unblinded Faith was.
- We chat about how Lisa's devotional is set up — how she's taken verses that are hard, ones that you wouldn't necessarily want to put on a coffee mug, and break them down. She makes you dig into the Word. I love devotionals like that! I also talk about a fun story from my college days on why knowing Scripture is so important. Lisa explained where the title came from (rooted in the verse 2 Corinthians 4:4) — and the fact that the book wasn't originally Unblinded Faith. It's a pretty cool God story.
- I asked Lisa to share some tips on cultivating “unblinded faith.”
- Finding time to get in the Word is tough. I asked Lisa for tips on making time to get in the Word daily. She shares that she has actually been thinking a lot about this question as it's one that she gets asked regularly. She has lots of great advice! You aren't going to want to miss this section!
- While Lisa was working with a launch team on this book, they begged her to create a study guide for groups! Lisa explains a bit about how this intensive guide works and how you can use it with a group. It’s easy enough to either do face-to-face or online or via text message.
- I love disciplining my kids! There are so many great family Bible studies out there too! I wrote a blog post a few years back sharing some of my favorites. You can find that HERE. I also linked to some of my favorite family Bibles below!
