Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass

Can you thank God one more time? Sometimes it becomes so easy to forget all that God has done, and all that He has protected us from… even when His answer was no. I encourage you to lift your hands and thank God for everything He has done in your life… even for the things you are unaware of… even for the doors He closed… and for the doors He has gone before you and opened. Thank Him. How to Purchase Book: Access “necessary.” by Zenja Glass Audiobook/Videobook/Autographed https://www.unlockinggreatness.com Paperback available worldwide via Amazon.

These are some hidden patterns I’ve noticed, especially among those who are called to lead. After dozens of recent conversations, it became clear that many are pouring into others while neglecting critical areas in their own lives. And over time, that neglect has a cost. SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE Staying rooted in the Word of God, in His presence, and in the authority you’ve been given. Without consistency, we don’t just drift, we begin to forget what we carry and how to stand. MINDSET AND ENVIRONMENT How you think, what you’re learning, and who you’re around are shaping your outcomes daily. If your mind is not being renewed and your environment is not sharpening you, your growth can become limited. PHYSICAL STEWARDSHIP Taking care of your body so you have the strength, clarity, and capacity to carry what you’ve been called to do. We must give ourselves permission to rest and take care of ourselves… especially the leaders who pour into others while neglecting themselves. This is about alignment across every area of your life. What you neglect can eventually affect how you lead, how you think, and how you show up. For those who are called to lead, I look forward to speaking with you one day inside a Clarity Conversation or talking with you in my live workshop sessions. The chapter mentioned in this episode was from my book “necessary.” Audiobook and videobook available at UnlockingGreatness.com Much love, Z.

Dwell in the secret place. There is a place that God reveals to those who are willing to enter. A place that is not defined by circumstances, or what is happening around you, but by His presence. In this place, you are not weak… you are strengthened. You are not vulnerable… you are covered. You are not defined by what you are facing… you are anchored in who He is. This is the place where you begin to see differently, speak differently, and walk with a level of authority that cannot be taken from you. It is not a distant or unreachable place. It is the secret place. The place where you stand with your Father, where fear loses its voice, and where every lie that once tried to define you is exposed. In this place, what once felt overwhelming no longer has the power to control you. From this place, you speak with authority… not as someone striving to become, but as one who already belongs. As co-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17), as children of God (Galatians 3:26), you begin to move from a position of identity, not from insecurity. I encourage you… spend time in the secret place with God. I also encourage you to read or listen to my book “necessary.” chapter titled ‘The Secret Place.’ Audiobook and videobook at UnlockingGreatness.com Much love, Z.

You’ve Outgrown Where You Are There comes a point where staying where you are is no longer an option. Not because you haven’t been trying. Not because you haven’t been carrying weight. But because something in you has grown… and where you are, can no longer hold it. You may feel the pressure. You may feel the resistance. You may even feel the cost of what it will take to move forward. But that pressure is not there to break you. It is there to reveal that you cannot remain the same. In this episode, I walk through the tension of growth, the weight of responsibility, and the reality that elevation comes with a price. I read from Chapter 15 of my book “necessary.” chapter title, ‘The Price of Elevation,’ and confront what it means to move forward even when it is uncomfortable, unfamiliar, and resisted. We are waiting on what you carry. Scripture reminds us in Matthew 17:20 that nothing will be impossible for you. The question is not whether you can. The question is whether you will move forward. You’ve outgrown where you are. I encourage you to read “necessary.” Available in all bookstores, including Amazon.

Sometimes the hardest battle in life is not external. It is the quiet lie we begin to believe about ourselves. In this episode I share what I have been learning through grief counseling, conversations with people from around the world, and the many clarity calls I have been hosting recently. I have spoken with leaders, entrepreneurs, and dreamers from many different places, and one thing keeps showing up again and again. Many incredibly gifted people are carrying exhaustion, doubt, or a quiet belief that they are not enough. We talk about why environment matters, why we need the right people around us, and what the story of Moses and Jethro teaches us about wisdom, counsel, and avoiding burnout. We also discuss identity, calling, and the truth found in Scripture about who we are and what has already been placed inside of us. If you have ever felt stuck, discouraged, or unsure of your direction, this conversation will encourage you to keep moving forward. Much love, Z.

You may not realize this, but you are a champion in the Spirit. You are a mighty warrior. Let’s discuss what truly makes a champion, and how champions rise in the very moment they have fallen. It is not the absence of battle or temporary defeat that makes a champion. It is the decision to STAND again. My prayer is that this Unlocking Greatness podcast episode shifts your perception so that you can see the invitation from God to return to your original design. If you are ready to renew the way you see yourself and strengthen your identity, the Unlocking Greatness Community is where this work continues each week with live workshops for spiritual, personal, and entrepreneurial development.

This is a call to return HOME. This is a call to get back to the original intention God had in mind when He created us. We must walk in love, authenticity, truthfulness, humility, and in the power and wisdom God gives us. In this episode, I share about a situation I did not expect to happen after a speaking engagement, but I am glad it did. It was necessary. It was my breakthrough moment. Sometimes our greatest weaknesses can become our greatest strengths if we are willing to reveal our scars to the world so that others may find beauty within themselves. I pray this podcast episode greatly blesses you all. And I hope to see many of you one day soon inside the necessary retreat. We are moving as ONE global family to walk this Necessary Journey together. I love you all. Where to Purchase “necessary.” Available as a paperback worldwide via Amazon.

When you first see a diamond fresh out of the ground, it doesn’t sparkle. It doesn’t even look valuable. It looks like dirt… dull, rough, irregular. But it’s a diamond all the same. You may feel like that right now… buried, overlooked, or unsure of your value. Especially if you’re a business owner or walking through a challenging season. I’ve been in that space too...questioning and being refined. But God reminded me of something powerful: you are a diamond, even if you’re still in the rough. I pray today you open your eyes to see what God sees... value, purpose, brilliance, and strength. You were placed here for a reason. You are being refined for a reason. And you are more precious than you realize. #unlockinggreatness #zenjaglass #unlockinggreatnesspodcast #necessary Visit https://www.UnlockingGreatness.com

The Courage to Surrender: How to LAUGH at the Days to Come! God has been pressing into my spirit… the quiet strength that comes from surrender. Not giving up, not shrinking back, but that deep, holy confidence of knowing exactly who you belong to and surrendering every circumstance to Him. Life, family, business… we are all walking through different seasons. Some are heavy. Some feel confusing. Some stretch us more than we ever imagined. But God reminded me of the Proverbs 31 woman, reminding me that she can laugh at the days to come. Why? Because she knows her Father. She knows her Overseer. She knows the enemy is limited. And if she can live with that kind of confidence, why can’t we? So I ask you (and myself) this question… Can you laugh at the days to come, even in stress, anxiety, or uncertainty? The heartbeat of true surrender is remembering who guides our steps and who wrote our story before we ever lived a single day. No matter who you are... man, woman, married, single... this confidence is for you. This peace is for you. God is with us. We can laugh at the days to come!

Before you respond to any situation in your life, any phone call, any text message, any disruptive thought, negative people, self limiting beliefs, unexpected circumstances or challenges, etc… ask yourself one question: Is It Bearing Fruit? In other words, will my involvement, time, reaction, response, etc., serve the purpose God has for my life, and will it keep me in alignment with my vision and goals? I encourage you to read: Galatians 5:22-23 to learn more about the fruit of the Spirit.

There is a spiritual battle happening all around us... fear, distraction, doubt, and exhaustion trying to steal our peace. But God reminds us in Galatians 6:9, “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” This is a powerful message about standing firm in faith, putting on the full armor of God, and recognizing the lies of the enemy. The battle has already been won... but we must stay grounded in truth, rooted in God's Word, and surrounded by people who strengthen our spirit. Don’t give up. Don’t lose heart. God is still in control… and His light inside of you cannot be defeated. I encourage you to read Chapter 1 and Chapter 24 titled, "A Letter to the Enemy - Part 2" from my book "necessary."

No matter how busy life feels, I want you to pause… and simply abide. In this episode, I share what I learned during a recent retreat... how to truly sit in the presence of God. We read through John 15 and replaced the word remain with the word abide… and everything changed. To abide means to dwell, to carry the presence of God through every moment... not just in prayer, but in the quiet, busy, and everyday moments in life as well. When we learn to abide, confidence returns. Confidence doesn’t come from titles, accomplishments, or perfection... it comes from knowing that God is with you, and you are with Him. As you walk, work, respond to others, and even take care of minor tasks, He’s right there. This episode is your reminder: Get your confidence back! Abide in God. The one who abides in Him will find peace… because when you walk with God, you walk in unshakable confidence!

For so long, I thought the enemy was after me… my peace, my family, my dreams. But now I realize the truth: I was never the real target. The enemy was after the light inside of me. In this episode, I share a deeply personal letter to the enemy, coming from the pain of losing my son and the countless nights I spent on my knees, pleading for God’s rescue. What the enemy meant for evil, God is turning into testimony. Every tear, every dark place... I am determined to use them all to point others back to God. This is not just my fight; this is a reminder for you, too. You are more than the lies, more than the fear, more than the attacks you’ve faced. You carry dominion and authority as an heir of a child of God. And no matter how heavy the battle feels, your victory has already been won! Let this episode remind you: God is still sovereign. God is still faithful. And He will use your story for His glory.

I pray you are greatly encouraged by this podcast episode to realize your value has just gone UP! Your value has just gone UP because of what you have been through. Your value has gone UP because of your circumstances. Your value has gone UP because you have refused to give up. Your value has gone UP because you know that your value is in Christ Jesus [Yeshua], our Lord and Savior. Your value has gone UP because of your unique experiences. Your value has just gone UP because you no longer see yourself small. Your value has just gone UP because people don’t need to see perfection, but authenticity! Your value has gone UP because now, you finally see yourself through the eyes of God!

In this episode of the Unlocking Greatness Podcast, I share how wisdom... God’s wisdom... can transform fear into clarity, and uncertainty into action. Drawing from Proverbs 3, I walk through how leaning on our own understanding only keeps us stuck, but seeking God’s guidance opens the doors we never thought possible. From financial stress to personal struggles, we can find favor, understanding, and direction when we invite God into every choice, every plan, and every fear. This is your reminder: you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. You don’t have to let fear rule your decisions. Let’s seek wisdom together, let’s grow, and let’s unlock the clarity and favor that has always been waiting for you… because the path to greatness begins when we stop leaning on our own understanding and start leaning on His!

It’s time to break negative patterns and stop repeating cycles that are holding you back. If you’ve ever wondered, “How do you break negative thought patterns?”, “How do you stop repeating negative cycles and how do you break free from negative habits and generational patterns?” I pray this helps you develop some step-by-step processes to stay on track for your daily routine. Important tip I left out: We have to be very intentional about the seeds we are planting in our garden. Whatever you plant… will grow! If you concentrate on everything that is wrong, and constantly reproduce negative thought patterns, you will produce the same results because you are just that powerful in the spirit as an heir of God! This specific podcast episode on breaking negative patterns is focusing more on actual step-by-step activities you can implement as a stop gap to keep you focused on your goals (and spiritual warfare) instead of drifting into old patterns and routines.

No matter what life looks like right now, no matter how deep the valleys or how loud the doubts, I want you to know: Greatness has always been within you. In Chapter 20 of my book "necessary." I pour out the truth that so many of us need to hear. Greatness does not lay atop the soil. Sometimes we have to dig through trials and hardships to discover Greatness, but Greatness was always there… through every setback, through every moment you felt powerless. I thought hiding my greatness would make others comfortable, but it only dimmed my own light. I’ve spent countless hours reading my Bible, asking God to lift my troubles and give me courage to pursue His vision. God reminded me: He has plans to prosper me, not to harm me. Slowly, I let my light shine brighter. Darkness couldn’t keep me down. This is my reminder to you: No more shrinking. No more hiding. You were made to thrive, to shine, to remember exactly who God created you to be. Let’s unlock your greatness together...because Greatness has been there all along.

#noshame #nocondemnation #Godisgreater I pray today marks the END of shame and condemnation in your life. There is no more shame. There is no more self-condemnation. God is greater! Let’s examine Psalm 34 and Luke 15. Correction: One of the additional verses I quoted was Galatians 5:19-21 (not Galatians 6, as stated during this recording). God reminds us that those who look to Him are radiant, and our faces are never to be covered with shame. The Lord reminds us that no one will be condemned who takes refuge in Him. Be encouraged my dear sisters and brothers. Let go of shame, guilt, and self-condemning thoughts. Trust that God desires to prosper you and is full of love, compassion, and grace when we turn to Him.
