Something to Bless

If you're like most people, you tend to put things off until later. Am I right? Friends, that is so not the business! Because we know that today is all we really have, we should take action on those things asap. In James 4, we are reminded that our life is but a vapor and we should never put off the things we are called to today. Whether that means cleaning out a junk drawer or pursuing a calling in our life, the time is NOW. Tune in to to0day's episode as Barbara shares more about not pushing off what we should and could do TODAY.  Buy Me a Coffee Visit my 5 star gift shop! https://hopeandgracegiftshop.etsy.com 10x your gratitude with this daily gratitude journal  Connect on Instagram @barbaratguillen Barbara Guillen is a teacher, writer, and business owner.

How many of you wish you could hear more clearly from God? Every hand should be raised up high. The truth is, we all want God to speak to us, direct our steps, open doors, pour His favor out, and release breakthroughs in our lives. Sadly, most of us aren't doing our part. We've allowed distraction, overwhelm, and sometimes, just plain laziness to create a barrier. This is a serious problem. In order for the things in our life to have order and favor, we must be in alignment with the will of God. By carving out time to sit alone with God and His word, we will know more clearly what He is calling us to. We'll enjoy a greater sense of peace and fulfillment simply by drawing closer to Him and fixing our gaze on Him first. In all things, big and small, God should be the center. Check out today's episode as Barbara shares the power of leaning in and living a life devoted to the will and ways of our loving Father.  Visit my new expanded shop! https://hopeandgracegiftshop.etsy.com 10x your gratitude with this daily gratitude journal  Connect on Instagram @barbaratguillen Barbara Guillen is a teacher, writer, and Print on Demand business owner.

As sons and daughters of God, we are uniquely called and chosen to lead lives that are worthy of our callings. This means we have a responsibility to be set apart in all of our ways. The way we think, speak, and act. The way we treat others and even the efforts we make to remain united as one body in Christ. Is it easy? NO! Yet, we have the Spirit within us, always leading and guiding the way forward. If you want to claim the glorious future that God has for you, you must make every effort to remain united in the Spirit.

Waiting is hard. And yet, throughout life, we spend years in waiting seasons. Whether it be a relationship, job, finances, or a hundred other things, sometimes circumstances are not in our favor and there's not much we can do about it. The bible is clear that during these long seasons of waiting, we are to turn our focus to God as he prepares us for what's next.  In this episode, Barbara encourages us to press in as we learn to discern his direction for our lives. When we truly surrender all things and trust in God, he replaces our waiting-pains with contentment. That is the transformation we can all experience by trusting in the plans and timing of God.  Visit my new expanded shop! https://hopeandgracegiftshop.etsy.com 10x your gratitude with this daily gratitude journal  Connect on Instagram @barbaratguillen   Interested in learning more about my 6 week cohort Project Dream?

In this episode, we turn to Hebrews 10:24–25 to talk about why community isn’t optional- it’s essential. God didn't design us to grow, endure, or succeed alone, and isolation is one of the enemy’s favorite tools. We explore how gathering with other believers strengthens our faith, sharpens our love, and helps us persevere, not just for our own sake, but for the good of others. As we wait for the return of Jesus, we’re reminded that obedience looks like showing up, encouraging one another, and choosing community even when it’s uncomfortable. Faith flourishes when we walk it out together.

What does it really mean to be “blessed”? In this episode, The Kind of Life God Actually Blesses, we step into Matthew 5 and the Beatitudes to uncover the surprising contrast between worldly success and Kingdom blessing. Jesus turns our definitions upside down, declaring blessing over the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful, and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Together, we explore how God’s favor is not found in comfort, status, or applause, but in a surrendered heart and a life aligned with His ways. This episode invites you to release the world’s version of blessing and embrace the deeper, lasting blessing that comes from living fully in God’s Kingdom.

Are You Blocking Your Own Blessings? What if the very thing standing between you and God’s blessings… is you? In this episode, we unpack how fear, comfort zones, and misplaced “yeses” and “nos” can quietly block the life God is calling us into. We talk about getting out of your own way, saying yes with intention, saying no without guilt, and releasing excuses that keep you stuck. God didn’t create you to live small or settle- He came so you could enjoy life and live it to the fullest. When you answer His call, pursue His goodness, and step boldly into purpose, you create space for His blessings to flow. This episode is a loving nudge to move, trust, and walk fully into all God has for you.

In this episode, we explore the life-changing power of gratitude and why it’s more than a feeling—it’s a way of living. Drawing inspiration from Mark Batterson’s A Million Little Miracles, the conversation highlights everyday examples and simple illustrations that remind us how easy it is to overlook the blessings right in front of us. In this episode, we are reminded to praise God for every gift, resist the temptation to take things for granted, and instead take them for gratitude. This episode invites you to practice gratitude daily, shift your perspective, and allow thankfulness to move from something you do into something you are.

In this episode, Barbara reflects on a season of deep discouragement and the moment she realized it wasn’t a setback but a test of faith. Through personal insight and powerful biblical examples from David, Moses, and Joseph, she unpacks what it means to stay focused on God’s promises, resist shortcuts, and trust the process even when answers don’t come quickly. If you have prayed, waited, and wondered if faith is costing you something, this is a reminder that testing seasons are not punishment but preparation. Passing the test today positions you for the promises of tomorrow.

Today on the podcast, we're talking about asking for and receiving signs. Have you ever asked God for a sign — a confirmation, a direction, or even the smallest nudge — only to be met with complete silence? It can feel discouraging when heaven seems quiet, especially when you’re desperate for clarity or assurance. In this episode, we’re breaking down how God actually speaks to us and the six most common ways His guidance shows up in our everyday lives. From Scripture, prayer, and people, to worship music, the Holy Spirit, and even repeated patterns or unexpected circumstances, God is always communicating, often more clearly than we realize. If you’ve been craving answers, longing for direction, or wanting to recognize God’s voice in a deeper way, this conversation will help you tune your ear, soften your heart, and notice the confirmations that may already be around you. Tune in and discover how to hear God with confidence, clarity, and peace.

Who are you? If your first thought is one of your roles in life, you may be surprised to learn that those things do NOT define who you ARE at your core. You are not your job, your looks, or your achievements. When God created you, He did so with great intention and purpose. SO many people get caught up in the trap of comparison and unwittingly dim their light when all along, they were created to shine brightly in the way that only they can.  Today, Barbara shares what true confidence looks like when you're clear on who you are and what your unique purpose is.
