James:
Hi and welcome to Living My Faith. I’m James Fenimore, and today we’ve got a very special show for you. Joining me, we have two guests, Ryan Bodner and LaTosha Johnson. Guys, how are you doing?
Ryan:
Wonderful. How are you?
LaTosha:
Fantastic.
James:
All right. Ryan, LaTosha, I’m going to start with you individually. Ryan, I’m sorry, I know you were here first, but it’s ladies first.
Ryan:
That’s okay.
James:
We start the show with one simple question. How are you living your faith?
LaTosha:
I am living my faith through motion and obedience, not perfection. I do my best to make sure that everything I do is intentionally glorifying God. And again, I’m not trying to be perfect, but I’m trying my best to be intentional with making sure that everything I do glorifies God.
James:
Well, that’s a great way to live your life. And giving him all the glory is always a safe bet, I would say.
Ryan, you got a cheat sheet there.
Ryan:
I do, I do.
James:
You know what’s coming. How are you living your faith?
Ryan:
Well, two words: intentional discipleship. Very similar. I’ve been on a path the last seven, eight years that God has woken me up to a lack of discipleship in our churches. And my goal and my aim is to be intentional on discipleship not only in my life, but in helping other people live in a discipleship atmosphere purposefully.
James:
That’s beautiful. Can you speak a little bit more to that? I know you’re doing a lot with your work, and LaTosha, you are too. We’re going to get right back to you in a second.
But I really want to hear about all the great business and discipleship that you’re doing with your business.
Ryan:
So what we do — my wife and I started Our Ministries probably 4 or 5 years ago. We were in a church, and God had woken me up in 2019 to this lack of discipleship in the church. It took me a few years, but in 2021 we started this ministry.
It’s called Our Ministries. We’re not a 501(c)(3). We don’t take donations. Our goal is to supplement what you’re getting in your church every day.
We’re mainly on YouTube. I write books — you can see behind me. We’ve got shorts and reels that we put up on YouTube. I do a series called Developing His Worldview, where we pursue God’s biblical worldview.
The whole goal of it is to supplement what the church is doing. It’s aimed at believers who are wanting to get serious in their faith. Developing His Worldview is a short 5 to 10 minute weekly segment. I’m working on developing season two right now, as a matter of fact.
So that’s kind of what we’re doing. We have a few different avenues, but it is just supposed to be a supplemental thing to what we’re getting in the church. It’s not designed to take over your church attendance or serving in those ways. It’s just meant to supplement it.
Jame:
Excellent. LaTosha, could you speak to what you’re working on? I know we had a conversation before this. You’ve got a ton going on.
LaTosha:
Yeah. So my background is in marketing and communication. I’ve been in this industry for a little over 20 years. I’m a marketing professional, podcaster, author, and voiceover talent.
I am the founder and owner of Starring You, which is a consulting firm to help faith based women, as well as organizations, leverage their expertise in order to create impactful content through podcasting, self publishing, or any other offer structures they need for their business.
I thoroughly enjoy that. I am the host of the Hustle and Faith podcast. We are currently on season nine. It is a faith based podcast for women who are looking to analyze, apply, and amplify their God given gifts.
We discuss business, self improvement, health and beauty, and my thoughts about random life topics from a Christian perspective. So that’s pretty much me in a nutshell.
James:
That’s beautiful. And when you’re dealing with a potential client that says, you know, I’m lost or I want to do something, how do you bring Christ or faith into it? Just give us a quick example.
LaTosha:
Sure. I love coaching folks. One of my favorite things to do is help bring clarity into a situation. I actually have a process called Clarity to Calling, where we walk through identifying all the different gifts that person has.
From there, we’re able to match that up to the content and audiences best suited for their particular gift or calling.
James:
What an awesome framework. That’s a really cool way to go about it.
Ryan, just knowing the ministry you’re in, for people out there looking for ways to live their faith on an everyday basis — maybe they’re new to this, maybe they’re trying to get back into it — do you have any pointers?
Ryan:
Intentionality. The word that I got when I came to this realization of a need for discipleship is seeking. Everything comes back to seeking the face of Christ in everything that we do.
It’s being intentional in our walk. It’s being purposeful. It’s taking advantage of the situations that come before us.
My wife and I do a lot of work with married couples. We’ve been married 23 years, and we’ve been through a lot. These days, it’s too easy to call it quits.
When you need help, seek it out. Find somebody. The idea of fellowship is huge. And that’s all part of seeking Christ.
When you seek the face of God, when you seek him in the scriptures, you’re going to find him. That’s a prayer he’s going to answer.
He’s going to open up a world not only in scripture, but he’s going to open up opportunities in your everyday life. It all comes back to consistent, intentional seeking of the face of Christ.
James:
I love that. Intentionally seeking Christ. When we seek him in everything, it really changes our posture.
Ryan, thank you for that. LaTosha, thank you so much, both of you, for joining me today and sharing some of your framework, your tips, and how you’re living your faith — not only in your personal life, not only in your marriage, but in your businesses.
What a wonderful way to exemplify Jesus and live out your faith. So thank you so much for joining me today.
