Hearing God's Voice and Receiving Provision with Tiana Baxter

She had not slept for five nights, and that turned out to be the point. This episode includes an account of two children being pulled unconscious from a swimming pool and resuscitated. Both survived without injury. Tiana Baxter spent nearly two decades in sales before founding SELLÁ, Home of the Salesgirl. She and her husband came to faith while everything was working, which she says meant the years afterwards were mostly about things being stripped away. The centre of this conversation is a morning at a hotel on the Gold Coast, at the end of the hardest stretch of their marriage. A room they should not have had, a late checkout nobody offered them before, and two little girls in the pool. Tiana describes screaming without knowing why, and the six minutes that followed. She also describes being the calmest person there, and why five nights without sleep was the reason. From there the conversation gets practical. How to tell God's voice from your own, and the signature she has learned to recognise. Why coming to faith did not require her to stop being ambitious, and the question about money that replaced the one she was afraid of. What changed in her marriage when she stopped controlling the parts she had always controlled. And why she is reclaiming a word that has been used to make women smaller. This one is for anyone who has asked whether the thing they are hearing is God or just themselves. "Money in the hands of good women does good things." — Tiana Baxter KEY TAKEAWAYS The five sleepless nights that put her by the pool How to tell God's voice from your own, and the signature Why finding faith meant stripping away rather than adding What she had to unlearn about money and ambition Reclaiming sales girl, and why selling is a life skill What changed in her marriage when she stopped controlling it FEATURED IDEA Coming to faith raised a different question about money than the one she was braced for. Tiana assumed becoming a Christian meant burning it down. Every example around her pointed that way, and she had built a life on being ambitious and vocal about money. The answer she arrived at, through her pastor and through a long stretch of praying about it, turned the question into one about what she was worshipping. That let her keep the ambition while changing what it served, and she now uses the same question to decide what stays.
