Last
week, we talked about starting the year strong with clarity. Remember, clarity
isn’t just about seeing the big picture—it’s about knowing which step to take
next. For me, clarity means this: helping others teach what they know so others
can grow. It’s not just a mission; it’s my passion and purpose. I believe with
all my heart that everyone has valuable knowledge and experiences to share, and
those gifts can make a transformative difference in someone else’s life.
As
you’re reading this, you might be asking yourself, “What is it that I know that
can help others grow?” Perhaps it’s a skill you’ve honed over the years, a
challenge you’ve overcome, or wisdom gained through your unique journey. You
don’t have to have all the answers—what matters is your willingness to share.
The lessons you’ve learned could provide the breakthrough someone else
desperately needs, sparking growth, healing, or hope in their life. Let’s
explore together how your story, your expertise, and your light can empower
others.
Life is a series of lessons. We all face
challenges, navigate trials, and ultimately emerge stronger and wiser. What we
learn along the way isn’t just for us—it’s meant to be shared. When we teach
what we know, we empower others to overcome their challenges and grow into
their fullest potential. As the saying goes, “we are blessed to be a
blessing.”
Sharing
our knowledge and experiences is part of our divine calling. Each of us has
been uniquely gifted, and it’s through using these gifts that we fulfill our
purpose. Whether it’s navigating a career shift, managing relationships, or
mastering a skill, what you’ve learned could be the very thing someone else
needs to hear.
This
year, I’m introducing two special days to encourage all of us to embrace this
calling:
- Teach
What You Know Tuesday:
A day to share insights, lessons, and expertise. Whether it’s a social
media post, a conversation, or mentoring someone, take a moment to pass on
what you’ve learned.
- Teach
It Forward Thursday:
A day dedicated to paying it forward. Think about who could benefit from
your knowledge and take deliberate action to help them grow.
Both
of these initiatives are part of my commitment to fostering a culture of
learning and growth within our communities. Imagine the ripple effect of each
of us teaching and empowering just one person each week.
When
you teach what you know, the impact goes far beyond the individual you’re
helping. Imagine a stone dropped into a pond—the initial splash creates waves
that extend outward, touching everything in their path. The same is true of
sharing your knowledge.
- Immediate
Impact on the Learner:
The person who receives your knowledge gains tools, confidence, and
clarity to tackle their challenges. You’re equipping them to make progress
in areas they may have felt stuck or overwhelmed.
- Transforming
Families and Communities:
The knowledge you share with one person often spreads to others. For
example, teaching a parent budgeting skills doesn’t just help them—it can
change the financial trajectory of their entire family. Teaching someone
how to communicate effectively can improve relationships in their
workplace, church, or community.
- Inspiring
Generational Growth:
When we teach, we’re planting seeds that can grow for generations. A
teacher inspires a student, who may go on to inspire others. Your
willingness to share what you’ve learned can create a legacy of knowledge
that outlives you.
- Creating
a Culture of Sharing:
Teaching encourages others to share their knowledge as well. When people
see the impact of what you’ve done, they’re more likely to pass on their
own experiences, creating a multiplier effect. This is how movements begin
and how communities grow stronger together.
- Building
Global Connections:
In our digital age, teaching what you know can reach people far beyond
your immediate circle. Through online platforms, eBooks, webinars, and
social media, your message can cross borders and touch lives you may never
meet in person.
The
ripple effect is a powerful reminder that teaching is never a small act. By
sharing what you’ve learned, you’re creating waves of growth, understanding,
and change that have the potential to impact countless lives.
Teaching
isn’t just a good deed; it’s a sacred responsibility. The Bible reminds us of
the power of sharing wisdom and using our gifts to serve others. In Matthew
5:14-16, Jesus tells us, “You are the light of the world. A town built on a
hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your
good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
When
you teach what you know, you’re letting your light shine. You’re honoring God
by using the gifts He’s given you to bless others. Teaching is an act of love
and obedience, as we are called to share knowledge that uplifts and strengthens
those around us.
Proverbs
11:25 further emphasizes this, stating, “A generous person will prosper;
whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Teaching refreshes not only
the learner but also the teacher. By giving generously of your wisdom and
experiences, you create a cycle of blessing and fulfillment that enriches
everyone involved.
Ephesians
4:11-12 highlights how each of us is equipped for a unique purpose: “So
Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors
and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of
Christ may be built up.” Whether you’re a formal teacher or someone sharing
life lessons, your role is vital in building up others and contributing to a
greater purpose.
When
you embrace your divine calling to teach, you’re stepping into alignment with
God’s plan for your life. You’re not only helping others grow but also
deepening your relationship with Him as you serve.
t have the potential to impact countless lives.
Have
I ever told you about how I let fear keep me from doing the very thing that
could help so many others? Even though I had plenty of experience as an author,
I struggled to write my third book. I kept telling myself, “I’ll get to it
soon,” but deep down, fear and doubt were holding me back. I worried that maybe
my story wasn’t important enough, or that no one would really benefit from what
I had to share. I stayed stuck in that cycle for way too long.
Then,
during a conversation with my coach, she hit me with some tough love. In a
not-so-kind way, she said, “The longer you wait to write your story, the more
selfish you’re being. There are so many women out there who need the help only
you can provide!” Me, selfish? That word stung, but as she explained further, I
realized she was right.
That's
when I remembered the scripture, Luke 12:48, “To whom much is given, much is
required.” It hit me like a revelation. I had been given so much—strength,
resilience, and the wisdom gained from navigating my own struggles. That wasn’t
just for my benefit; it was a gift meant to be shared. I realized that holding
back my story wasn’t just about fear—it was about responsibility. I had a duty
to pay it forward, to help others who were facing the same challenges I once
did. It became clear that my journey could serve as a guide for others, and it
was time to stop hesitating and start giving back by telling my story.
Yes,
my story—my journey—wasn’t just for me. It had the potential to inspire,
uplift, and offer guidance to other women facing the same struggles I’d
overcome. By holding back, I was depriving them of that help. It was a hard
truth to swallow, but that conversation became the turning point I needed. I
stopped letting fear dictate my actions and finally got to work. And now, I’m
committed to helping others do the same.
I
don’t want the same thing that happened to me to happen to you that’s why I’m
inviting you to join me for the Pearl Power Series starting Monday,
January 27th.
