Answering the New Age and “Name it Claim it” Questions - Episode 50
"Last month I was working with one of my clients – ranked 13th on the Fortune 500 list of largest corporations. I was with a group of 60 leaders delivering tools for mindset, growth, leadership, and culture.
In a sidebar conversation during one of the breaks, one of the participants shared with me about his family, faith, work, and life purpose. A few days later, I saw that he bought several books on my DoreenLecheler website. Well, I was thrilled to receive an email from him recently, asking two very important questions. His email read:
Hi Doreen - I have been sharing your teachings and books and I have a question. What do you say to the folks that say you are a “name it claim it Christian”? And what do you say to the Christians that say your teachings are New Age. I do not pick that up from your books or you personally, but I thought I would ask you."
Curious how Doreen answers these tough questions? Listen now to Design & Destiny.

What if GOD isn’t who you think He is? - Episode 49
I was recently intrigued by the subtitle of a book I saw that asked, “What if GOD isn’t who you think he is?” Which prompted a second question for me: And what difference would that really make in life?
To the first question: Your conscious-level mind will always give you the intellectual, theological answers about who you think GOD is:
-GOD is Love; GOD is holy; GOD is grace; GOD is sovereign, supreme, and awesome in wonder; GOD is patient, just, merciful;-GOD is glorious; GOD is a father, and so on.
But if you really want to know the answer of your heart, examine the subconscious, automatic ways you typically assess yourself, react to others, and respond to circumstances taking place in the world around you.
Listen now to episode 49 to learn more.

Three Necessary Ingredients for a Renewed Mind Part 3 - Episode 48
This week we’re wrapping up our series on the Three Essential Elements of a Renewed Mind, based on Romans 12:2 which tells us it is the renewed mind that enables you to discern GOD’s will – his good, pleasing, and perfect will for your life and his world.
If you missed the first 2 episodes click this link to go back and listen: https://destinymakers.org/design-destiny/
So, we’ve already seen GOD’s exceedingly abundant contribution toward the renewed mind. He allowed for our fickle and devasting choice of will, but HIS nature remains constant – GOD gives and gives and gives. He’s all about giving for our best. In fact, it could be said that GOD’s FOR giving. And he desires us to do the same. It’s not transactional. In other words, he doesn’t demand something first or in exchange for his unbridled grace over your life.

Three Necessary Ingredients for a Renewed Mind Part 2 - Episode 47
Last week we began the first of a 3-part series on 3 Essential Elements Required for the Renewed Mind. Because Romans 12:2 tells us it’s only through the renewed mind that you can know GOD’s will – his good, pleasing, and perfect will.
So, how do you renew the mind?
What does it entail?
What do you need to know or do to make that happen?
The first essential begins with having Capacity – Capacity is the ability to contain and maintain a renewed mind. And your capacity rests entirely in GOD’s mercy and lovingkindness, where He converted the chaos of an unredeemed mind through the redemptive work of Christ on the cross to give you and me the opportunity to begin again – born as a new creation with the potential for holistic transformation – spirit, mind, and body. This we week will move on to the second essential- listen now to learn more.

How to Become A Better You - Episode 45
Welcome to Season Two of our weekly podcast, Design & Destiny. I’m Doreen Lecheler. And for over 20 years I’ve had the privilege and blessings of empowering organizational leaders, athletes, cancer patients, everyday moms & dads, and purpose-seeking Christians with scientific tools we now know about how the mind works, as well as the scriptural truths that release greater GOD-given purpose and potential by teaching you HOW to renew and master your mind.
How to Embrace the Blessings of Abundance
How would you describe the abundant life?
Jesus tells us in John 10:10: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Abundant life is for every life now, God is overflowing with abundance.
Living an abundant life requires three things of us:
1. The belief that God is good and cares for you.
2. The belief that every need & challenge you face was settled with Jesus at the cross.
3. You must learn to live with an “all things are possible” attitude.
Join Doreen this morning as she discusses what the bible has to say about living abundantly through Christ. This is our last episode of Season One! Join us next week for Season Two.
How to Master Your Tongue So It Doesn’t Master You
Our words either build us up or tear us down. The Bible tells us life and death are in the power of the tongue, and we will eat the fruit of it (Proverbs 18:21). In other words, we reap what we sow by the words we speak. Often, we are far too careless about the way we think and speak.
Words have the power to create energy and release emotions that produce life and health or death and disease. Our utterances are not meaningless expressions that evaporate into thin air. The mind records what we give it. And our thoughts accumulate to build beliefs: positive or negative, liberating or limiting, life-giving or life-threatening.
Discover the Fastest Way to Overcome Roadblocks in Life
One commonality among the Whiner, Worrier, and Warrior is they naturally default to ego and outcomes. The Whiner’s complaints, the Worrier’s concerns, or the Warrior’s conquests can become a dominant pattern of thinking that colors our perspective and impacts expectations when left unchecked. But among the four Masters of the Mind, there is only one that is fully focused on abiding in the hiding place of love. Enter, the Worshipper, rushing heaven’s gates with thanksgiving in its heart and filling God’s courts with praise (Psalm 100:4).

Design & Destiny | Episode 35 | Sailing Through The Winds of Adversity
It’s adverse winds that fill the boat’s sails and launch it ahead if the sails and rudder are correctly positioned. If not, the winds can overtake the boat. And the same is true for us. Our rudder is our tongue that sets the course or direction. Our sail is the condition and position of our heart. When set correctly, we can safely sail through the adversities in our life. From GOD’s perspective, adverse winds are actually an opportunity for advancement, taking us out further in our faith and to a higher place in the kingdom. Join Doreen for the last episode in Season One of Design & Destiny, Sailing Through the Winds of Adversity.

If we’re honest, most of us today would say fasting is too hard or inconvenient, or unpopular, or even unnecessary. But followers in the faith over the centuries understood fasting, or affliction of soul, or self-denial was the most sincere and serious way to demonstrate worship, adoration, repentance, and proper posturing or “fear of the Lord.”

The Secret to Hearing God's Heart For You - Week Two
To catch up on last week watch week one here: https://destinymakers.org/the-secret-to-hearing-gods-heart-for-you/
Last week we began a new series on “The Secret to Hearing GOD’s Heart for You,” and I talked about Fasting. Sadly, fasting is a spiritual discipline that isn’t taught much, talked about much, or encouraged and practiced much in most western churches today. Some make it a January New Year's tradition, and I know of ministry groups who, from time to time, will issue a call to fasting to seek GOD’s intervention on a particular issue.
But by and large, fasting is not something commonly practiced in today’s culture where the dominant ethos in society is to satisfy every whim, feeling, and desire we have the minute we have it. Sure, you may have heard or read about intermittent fasting. It’s becoming a more popular practice for the longevity of life, anti-aging, and weight loss. But not as a spiritual endeavor where we abstain from food for spiritual purposes. Over and over, we are inundated with messages that indulgence is to be admired, and denial - denying ourselves of anything - is demonized.
So why in the world would you refuse your feelings, your needs, your body?
Why would you choose to fast before the Lord?
What are the purposes and benefits of fasting?
Week Two Resources: https://destinymakers.org/the-1-thing-that-blocks-your-blessings/
Episode 30 | The Secret to Hearing God's Heart For You | A Deeper Devotion
Interestingly, on the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus referenced fasting. And if you read carefully, he didn’t say, “IF you fast…,” but rather, “WHEN you fast…” Fasting is as much an expectation and spiritual discipline as is prayer, praise, studying scripture, giving, communion, and more. Join Doreen as she shares teachings, challenges, and insights around fasting.
