SUBSCRIBE & SHARE Episode Summary: Breaking Up with Broke, Part 3: Audit Your Environment You can pray for prosperity and believe in biblical financial stewardship, but are your daily surroundings reinforcing those beliefs or quietly working against them? In Part 3 of Breaking Up with Broke, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores how the people around us, the spaces where we make financial decisions, and the voices we consume online influence what we consider normal. Drawing from Proverbs 13:20, she explains why our environment matters to our financial lives and why wise counsel and accountability are essential to consistent stewardship. You’ll learn how to conduct a three-part Environment Audit, reflect on the role of financial accountability, and complete three practical assignments: audit one relationship, clear one money-related space, and change one digital input. This episode is a call to move beyond inspiration and take intentional action. Your financial future is influenced by more than what you earn. It is also influenced by what you normalize, who you trust, and what you allow to shape your decisions. In this episode, you’ll discover: How your circle can become either a ceiling or a catalyst. Why wise counsel matters in financial decisions. How your physical space and social media feed can affect your money habits. Three simple ways to align your environment with Kingdom stewardship. How to prepare for Part 4: the Breaking Up with Broke breakup ceremony. Scripture: Proverbs 13:20 Your action step: Complete this declaration: “I break up with ______ in my environment.

Christian Money Mindset: Breaking Free From the Culture Trap Why can you work hard, pray hard, and still feel like you're falling behind? What if you're measuring your financial life with the wrong scorecard? In Part 2 of her Breaking Up with Broke teaching series, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores how cultural pressure can distort our relationship with money. From the pressure to look successful to the belief that wanting financial increase somehow conflicts with loving God, women can find themselves caught between chasing appearances and feeling guilty about prosperity. Using 1 Samuel 8, Romans 12, Matthew 6:33, and the parable of the talents, Dr. Haynes contrasts the world's pursuit of status with the Kingdom's call to stewardship, contentment, generosity, wise investment, and legacy. She also shares the WORLDLY and KINGDOM frameworks from her financial teaching and introduces a practical Steward's Audit to help listeners examine their spending, assignments, and influences. This episode challenges you to ask a deeper question: Are you managing money according to your God-given assignment, or are you spending to satisfy someone else's expectations? Your three Steward's Audit questions What am I funding to be seen? Name it and consider pausing it for 30 days. What has God assigned me to multiply? Identify one gift, business goal, giving commitment, or savings target. Who is discipling my desires? Mute one voice that makes you feel behind and add one voice that teaches stewardship. Your breakup declaration: “I break up with ___to look blessed. I choose ___ to be trusted.” Faithful over flashy. Stewardship over status. Legacy over appearances.

Free 7 Day Financial Prayer Challenge: https://chontahaynes.com/free-financial-prayer  Podcast Summary  What if your financial struggle isn't really a money problem? What if it is a money mindset you learned before you ever earned money? In this episode, Dr. Chonta Haynes exposes the family money scripts that can quietly shape how we spend, save, give, receive, and steward money. From “we can't afford it” to “we don't talk about money,” these messages can become internal rules long after we've left our childhood homes. Dr. Chonta introduces three common money scripts: Scarcity: “There's never enough.”Survival: “Just pay the bill and pray.”Shame: “We don't talk about money.” She then takes us into the story of the widow's oil in 2 Kings 4 and challenges us to recognize what we already have instead of continually focusing on what we lack. The transformation begins when we stop asking, “Can I afford it?” and start asking: “How would a good steward handle this?” This is not about pretending to have money you don't have. It is about replacing inherited money beliefs with kingdom thinking, forgiveness, stewardship, intentionality, and faith. And before you leave this episode, Dr. Chonta gives you a decree: “I break up with broke thinking. I am not my family's lack. I am God's steward.” Podcast Timestamps 00:00 — You Learned Money Before You Earned Money01:28 — Three Family Money Scripts03:09 — Your Net Worth and Self-Worth05:02 — What Do You Already Have?05:44 — Secular Money vs. Kingdom Stewardship07:03 — Rewriting Your Family Money Story09:07 — Breaking Up With Broke Thinking10:36 — Next Week: The Culture Trap   Free Resources: https://chontahaynes.com/free-resources    Books: https://chontahaynes.com/books https://chontahaynes.com/devotionals    CROWNed by Design Collective: https://chontahaynes.com/collective    Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes  Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S

Summary  What if the season you called wasted was actually the season God was using to crown you? Divorce. Grief. Career changes. Disappointment. Financial shifts. Seasons when you aren't sure who you are anymore. In the finale of CROWNed Through Transition, Dr. Chonta Haynes takes you through her proprietary CROWN Framework and shows how difficult seasons can become preparation for what's next. CROWN represents: Character. Reign. Order. Worth. Navigation. Through Scripture, personal experience, and the lessons she learned through her own transition, Dr. Chonta explores how God can use what felt like loss to develop the woman capable of carrying the next assignment. Because transition doesn't have to disqualify you. It can develop you. And what you called wasted, God may have been weaving. What You'll Learn Why Romans 8:28 doesn't mean everything that happens is good How God can use transition to develop character What it means to reign while you're still in the storm Why order becomes protection during transition How hardship can challenge and ultimately clarify your sense of worth Why navigation means taking the next faithful step instead of demanding the entire roadmap How Dr. Chonta's divorce, burnout, financial rebuilding, and relocation shaped the work she does today Why your story may become the very thing that helps another woman heal Podcast Timestamps 00:00 — What If Your Season Wasn't Wasted?03:07 — Character: Preparation Through Transition04:50 — Reign: You Were Made to Reign Through It06:33 — Order: Protecting the Crown08:55 — Worth: More Is Left Than What Left You12:56 — Navigation: Taking the Next Faithful Step16:28 — What You Called Wasted, God Called Woven   Books: https://chontahaynes.com/books https://chontahaynes.com/devotionals    CROWNed by Design Collective: https://chontahaynes.com/collective    Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes  Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S

Episode Summary  You don't have a time problem. You may have a tempo problem. In this episode of CROWNed Through Transition, Dr. Chonta Haynes challenges the idea that Christian discipline means doing more, pushing harder, and sacrificing yourself for your assignment. Instead, she explores what it means to practice self-care God's way through stewardship, rhythm, rest, and disciplined choices. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and her book Praying Through Life's Struggles, Dr. Haynes reveals four moves for becoming a balanced woman without hustle, guilt, or burnout. You'll discover why your body is part of your assignment, why rest is not a reward, why small rhythms matter more than complicated routines, and how one faithful choice repeated consistently can begin to reinvent your life. Her message is simple: You cannot reimagine your future if what you're carrying is burned out. What You'll Learn Why discipline is stewardship rather than punishment How to steward your body as the vessel for your vision Why rhythm matters more than perfection How to build a simple 15-minute morning rhythm Why rest is a requirement, not a reward How to make one faithful choice at a time What burnout revealed to Dr. Haynes during her own transition How prayer can become the wall that supports discipline when willpower fails Podcast Timestamps 00:00 — Your Problem May Be Tempo, Not Time02:42 — Steward the Temple05:10 — Establish Your Rhythm08:28 — Welcome Rest11:07 — Anchor Discipline12:29 — Dr. Chonta's Crown Story14:49 — Your Tempo Challenge Books: https://chontahaynes.com/books https://chontahaynes.com/devotionals    CROWNed by Design Collective: https://chontahaynes.com/collective    Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes  Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S

Episode Summary  What if you don't have a strength problem? What if you have a solo problem? In this episode of CROWNed Through Transition, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores why God designed us to heal in community—and why isolation can keep us stuck during some of life's most difficult transitions. Whether you're navigating divorce, grief, career change, rebuilding, or simply a season where you've gone quiet, this episode offers a biblical framework for finding the right people, becoming vulnerable again, and allowing healthy community to sharpen rather than simply affirm you. Dr. Chonta introduces her I.R.O.N. framework: Identify, Reveal, Offer, Never Heal Alone. She also shares a deeply personal part of her own crown story, including how sisters carried her through a season when she was leading on the outside while struggling internally. The message is ultimately one of hope: You don't have to wait until you're healed to show up. Show up to be healed. What You'll Learn Why isolation can keep you stuck How to identify the people who truly sharpen you Why vulnerability is essential to healing How to contribute to community even when you're the one in need Why healthy sisterhood is reciprocal How God can use community during transition What Dr. Chonta learned from her own season of loss and rebuilding How to begin building your own divinely connected circle Podcast Timestamps 00:00 — You Don't Have a Strength ProblemWhy healing was never designed to be a solo project. 01:04 — When You Go Quiet in TransitionWhy divorce, grief, career shifts, and rebuilding can cause us to withdraw. 01:59 — I: Identify Who Sharpens YouNot everyone needs access to you in transition.

Episode Summary  What if your transition isn't punishment? What if it's transformation? Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. But when life changes unexpectedly—through divorce, grief, career shifts, financial uncertainty, or simply an uncomfortable season of “in between”—it's easy to interpret transition as failure. In this episode of CROWNed Through Transition, Dr. Chonta Haynes challenges that perspective. Instead of simply trying to “think positive,” she teaches a biblical approach to renewing your mind and reframing your story. You'll walk through a practical process to reveal the old story, exchange the lie for truth, fix your focus, rehearse the new identity, anchor it, move on it, and expect transformation. And Dr. Chonta shares a deeply personal part of her own crown story—including the moment she physically placed a tiara on her head during a difficult season and recognized the power of seeing herself differently. The message is simple: Your transition may not be the evidence that you're falling apart. It may be the place where God is rebuilding you. What You'll Learn What Romans 12:2 teaches about renewing your mind Why positive thinking isn't the same as biblical transformation How transition can expose the stories you've been believing How to replace limiting beliefs with biblical truth Why your income can follow your identity How to use Scripture to refocus your thinking Why obedience can move you before you feel confident How prayer helps you remain steady during transition Why your breaking point can become your building point How to identify what God has already placed “in your house” How to turn renewed thinking into faith-aligned action Detailed Timestamps 00:00 — What if transition isn't punishment?Romans 12:2 introduces the central question: could God be using your transition to transform you? 00:22 — Stop treating transition like a math problemBudgets, strategies and positive thinking cannot always address what's happening at the identity level. 00:44 — Your old story can't carry your new seasonWhy transformation requires more than changing external circumstances. 01:09 — Prayer keeps you steady when everything shiftsWhy prayer becomes an anchor during uncertain seasons. 01:23 — The feeling of flying without an airplaneDr. Chonta describes what transition can feel like when there's nothing obvious to hold onto. 01:48 — Transition as metamorphosisA new way to understand what happens after life falls apart. 02:13 — Reframe, reinvent, reimagineThe three-part process behind CROWNed Through Transition. 03:00 — R: Reveal the old storyIdentify the narrative you've been rehearsing about yourself, money, success and your current season. 03:24 — Is your confidence tied to your bank account?A challenging question about identity and financial circumstances. 03:46 — Name the storyFreedom begins with honestly identifying the story you've been believing. 04:10 — E: Exchange the lie for truthReplace the interpretation that transition means punishment with God's truth. 04:35 — What does “good” actually mean?A deeper look at Romans 8:28 and the idea of God's work being beneficial rather than merely comfortable. 04:42 — When God uses unlikely things to sustain youThe story of Elijah and the ravens becomes a powerful metaphor for unexpected provision. 05:02 — What if your setback is your raven?A perspective shift for difficult seasons. 05:12 — F: Fix your focusWhy biblical transformation requires more than motivational quotes. 05:30 — Transformation isn't behavior modificationRomans 12:2 points toward an internal transformation. 05:47 — Biblical meditation fills the mind with truthA practical distinction between emptying the mind and saturating it with Scripture. 06:08 — The three-minute morning practiceSpeak it.

Episode Summary  What if the thing you're asking God for requires you to become someone you haven't yet become? In 2 Kings 2, Elisha makes a bold request before Elijah is taken into heaven: a double portion of Elijah's spirit. But this wasn't simply a request for “more.” The biblical context connects the double portion with inheritance and succession, making Elisha's request a powerful picture of readiness for the assignment ahead.   In this episode, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores what Elisha's journey through Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the Jordan can teach us about spiritual growth, resilience, capacity, mindset, and navigating the next assignment God may be preparing us to carry. Because sometimes the question isn't: “What do I do next?” It's: “Who must I become to carry what's next?” This episode completes the five-room CROWNed framework: Character, Reign, Order, Worth, and Navigation. What You'll Discover What Elisha's double portion really represented Why greater assignments require greater capacity Why staying in motion matters when you're tempted to stop How mindset and resilience affect your ability to carry your assignment How to recognize areas where you still need growth Why arriving at who you are isn't the finish line How the five CROWNed rooms work together to help you navigate what's next Detailed Timestamps 00:00 — The request almost everyone overlooksDr. Chonta opens with the moment before Elijah's departure and the unusual request Elisha makes. 00:20 — Your crown doesn't get lighterGrowth doesn't necessarily remove responsibility. Instead, you become stronger and more capable of carrying it. 00:35 — The fifth room: NavigationThe journey moves from knowing who you are to determining how you will navigate what comes next. 00:53 — Elisha's bold requestElijah asks Elisha what he wants, and Elisha asks for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. 01:17 — “You've asked a hard thing”Greater capacity requires a greater level of preparation and responsibility. 01:40 — Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho and the JordanElisha continues moving forward even when he's repeatedly given opportunities to stop. 02:05 — The double portion isn't simply givenThe deeper lesson: what you're asking to carry requires preparation to carry it. 02:17 — God doesn't grow your capacity while you're standing stillWhy remaining comfortable can prevent you from developing the capacity your next assignment requires. 02:45 — Who must you become?The central question of navigation shifts from “What should I do?” to “Who must I become?” 03:07 — Mindset, resilience and capacityThese aren't fixed traits. They develop as you continue walking through your terrain. 03:17 — Is your capacity ready?A practical challenge: identify the assignment you sense is coming and evaluate whether you're prepared to carry it. 03:37 — The complete CROWNed frameworkCharacter.

What if your pricing problem isn't really a pricing problem?  In CROWN Room 4, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores the story of the widow's oil and what it reveals about recognizing your value, pricing your services, and expanding your capacity to receive. You'll discover why talented Christian entrepreneurs often undercharge, overdeliver, and discount their calling. The question isn't simply, "What will people pay?" It's: "What is the actual value of the transformation I provide?" 00:00 The One Jar of Oil00:30 Why Worth Changes Everything01:10 The Widow's Oil02:22 Why You're Undercharging03:18 Recognizing Your Value03:42 Audit Your Pricing04:04 Borrow One More Vessel04:39 Next: Navigation Books: https://chontahaynes.com/books CROWNed by Design Collective: https://chontahaynes.com/collective  Business Builder Accelerator: https://chontahaynes.com/kingdom   Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes  Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S

Episode Summary: What if your business isn't actually disorganized?  What if it's simply unsteered? In this episode of the Heart 2 Heart Truth Podcast, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores CROWN Room 3: Order and reveals why Christian entrepreneurs often struggle with systems—not because they lack discipline, but because they're trying to build according to someone else's assignment. Using the rebuilding of Nehemiah's wall as a biblical model, Dr. Chonta shows how each family was given a specific section to steward. The wall wasn't rebuilt because everyone had identical skills or followed the same blueprint. It worked because the structure matched the assignment. The same principle applies to your business. Your best system isn't necessarily the one everyone else is using. It's the one that allows you to steward what God has entrusted to you. This episode challenges you to audit one business system and ask: "Does this reflect my actual assignment—or am I still running someone else's blueprint?"   Timestamps 00:00 Your business isn't disorganized—it's unsteered00:22 Why CROWN Room 3 is Order00:51 The Nehemiah principle01:17 Why the wall was rebuilt in 52 days01:46 Order isn't about having the best system02:06 Stop copying someone else's blueprint02:53 The question underneath the question03:15 What the Parable of the Talents teaches us03:30 Your business systems audit03:59 Build systems that fit your calling04:21 Everything changes when you adjust your crown04:29 Next: Room 4 — Worth Books: https://chontahaynes.com/books   CROWNed by Design Collective: https://chontahaynes.com/collective    Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes  Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S

Many entrepreneurs believe growth comes from reaching more people.  Scripture teaches something different. In this episode, Dr. Chonta Haynes explores Genesis 1 and reveals why God intentionally gave Adam one garden before expanding his influence. If you're struggling with your niche, audience, messaging, or calling, this biblical perspective will help you stop chasing everyone and start stewarding your specific assignment. You'll discover why: • Dominion begins with stewardship. • Clarity creates influence. • Your assignment determines your audience. • Kingdom impact grows through faithful stewardship. This episode is part two of the CROWN by Design business series.   Today's lesson explores the second room of the CROWN Framework: Reign.  Dr. Chonta Haynes explains why so many Christian entrepreneurs remain exhausted trying to serve everyone instead of embracing the audience God specifically assigned to them. Drawing from Genesis, Nehemiah, and practical coaching experience, you'll learn how specificity unlocks greater influence, stronger messaging, and deeper impact. If you've been asking, "Who am I really called to serve?" this conversation provides biblical wisdom to help you move forward with clarity.   00:00 The Garden Was Smaller on Purpose00:45 Character Before Reign01:28 Dominion Was Never About Size02:10 Your Assignment Isn't Everyone02:58 Why Your Message Isn't Connecting03:35 The Power of Specificity04:05 Discover Your Assignment04:45 Your Next Step Books: https://chontahaynes.com/books   CROWNed by Design Collective: https://chontahaynes.com/collective    Connect with Dr. Chonta Haynes Book a call https://chontahaynes.com/destiny  YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ChontaHaynes Instagram: https://Instagram.com/ctahaynes LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chonta-haynes  Support the Mission Heart 2 Heart Truth Foundation Donate: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=UZG5B9KX59U4S
