The Shepherd at Work

I am worthy.
I am adored.
I am beautiful.
I am enough.
I am chosen.
I am FREE.
Now tell me you can hear those words and walk away feeling burdened!
Stacy Jo Coffee-Thorne is in FULL FORCE in this episode of The Shepherd at Work—challenging, encouraging, and reminding us what it means to stop carrying what Jesus already died to set us free from.
In this powerful conversation, Krystal sits down with Stacy Jo, faith-driven entrepreneur, author, speaker, community builder, and founder of the Association of Christian Business Women, for an honest conversation about shame, unforgiveness, identity, obedience, and freedom.
Because you can be successful...
You can lead organizations.
You can build businesses.
You can encourage everyone around you.
And still be carrying something God never intended you to carry.
Shame.
Unforgiveness.
Fear.
The belief that somehow you aren't enough.
Stacy Jo knows what it means to walk through adversity, wrestle with God's calling, and discover that freedom doesn't come from trying harder.
It comes from becoming deeply rooted in who God says you are.
And Stacy Jo isn't interested in leaving that as a nice idea.
She wants you to walk in it.
We talk about forgiveness—not simply forgiving other people, but what happens when bitterness, hurt, or shame takes root inside us.
We talk about identity and the danger of allowing the world, our past, our failures, or even our accomplishments to tell us who we are.
Stacy Jo's own journey has taken her from resisting God's nudges to building businesses and communities centered on Kingdom purpose. Today she leads Freedom Support Solutions and the Association of Christian Business Women, while also co-hosting Faithfully Invested with her husband, Allen, and encouraging women through The Kingdom LeadHERship Podcast.
There's a common thread running through all of it:
Freedom.
Freedom from fear.
Freedom from shame.
Freedom from unforgiveness.
Freedom to become who God created you to be.
Stacy Jo describes her mission as encouraging women to step out of fear and into faith so they can fulfill God's purpose while seeking first the Kingdom of God.
And she doesn't simply teach it.
She lives it.
This episode is a challenge to put down the things you've been carrying and remember whose you are.
Because your past doesn't own you.
Shame doesn't name you.
Unforgiveness doesn't have to imprison you.
Jesus already paid for your freedom.
Now walk in it.
🎧 Listen. Forgive. Release the shame. Know who you are. Walk from victory to victory.
