ABOVE and NOT BENEATH – Robyn Sears

Published on: 10th November, 2023

Above and Not Beneath

Robyn Sears

One thing that I learned from my time in the military, was belief in yourself must come from within. You have to “see yourself” as an overcomer in any situations you face. Be it physical, emotional, or whatever.

That does not mean you have “go it alone.” The military prides itself on team work. That type of training begins day one in basic training and continues all through your career.

But, for those who have not had their mindset strengthened by that type of training and those types of experiences, it is easy to lose sight of just how special you are. It is easy to fall victim to life’s circumstances and begin to have a negative mindset about everything.

Sometimes, things happen to us that we have no control over. Life happens. But it is especially important, during those times, where we need to see ourselves as overcomers. Children of the Most High God. Victorious over circumstances. Heirs of the Kingdom. Amen!

Our guest today helps women who have experienced adversity in their life, to achieve success and to improve their mindset.

Robyn Sears became a wife and mother at the age of 17. She was focused on raising and nurturing her family until, at the age of 34, she found herself divorced and having no skill sets to fall back on.

It was at this time she entered the workforce and faced challenges there as well. But her desire to provide for her three children, the challenges she faced, including difficulties with her first boss, all combined to increase the pressures and apprehension she was facing on a daily basis.

At least until God brought her together with a couple who owned a thriving business, who also became her mentors. Through their guidance and support, she was able to grow spiritually, personally and professionally. Amen!

Robyn Sears eventually formed, “Above and Not Beneath” to help coach single mothers who are looking to improve their lives through personal and professional development.

If you are a single mother or perhaps someone who has survived domestic abuse, sex trafficking or poverty, etc., you need to pay special attention to our interview today.

Robyn Sears will be explaining some things for us today that will inspire you, will help you to see the opportunities God is making available to you, to help you achieve more and experience personal and professional success. Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, the founder of “Above Only and Not Beneath,” Robyn Sears. Robyn, thank you for taking the time to join us today!

The first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information, can you share with us in your own words, “Who is Robyn Sears?”

Tell us about how life started out, married at the age of 17 and what was life like at that point in your life?

One thing I found on your website, which really hit home for me, was where you were talking about a couple that had mentored you and you learned, “…the pursuit of perfection creates stress, while embracing mistakes fosters genuine growth.”  Can you explain that for us?

I noticed you use something called “the power of the pause.” Can you explain that for us and how does it work?

You share that your coaching program involves, “Focus; Reflect: Refine.” Can you share those three steps with us and what they mean?

You also help women to strengthen, what you refer to as, “Three Mental Muscles.” What are those muscles and how do you strengthen them?

Are there ways to take stressful situations and turn them around from a problem to an advantage?

You encourage businesses to invest in the single mother community. Are there advantages for the business to do so?

Not all women are in the same situation you were in. Do you have an assessment program or something that a woman will take before you start to help her?

You are also a podcaster, correct?

Share about your podcast with us…

Robyn, this is so interesting and also, so needful, in this day and time in which we live. If someone has a question or would like to receive more information on this program, how do you recommend them to get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below.

Folks, if what Robyn has been sharing with us today has touched your heart, I want you to drop down into the show notes and get in touch with her, right now. Amen!

Even if you are not seeking assistance, perhaps you can help in the funding of her effort in this outreach. Amen! Every person could do something to help. You’ve heard me say before, there are “those that go; those that help those that go and those who pay for those that go.” Amen!

I’m sure Robyn can use the extra help of financial gifts in her outreach. I also know that someone, listening to us right now, needs to get in touch with Robyn because the situation you are in is not a good one. You need to talk with someone who has “been there and done that” – and that is Robyn. Amen!

Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Robyn Sears right now – while you are thinking about. Don’t let the devil have the last say. You are a child of the Most High God and He has equipped Robyn to be able to minister to you, right now.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
