Hey everyone! I’m Mary R Snyder — a storytelling coach who’s spent 20+ years helping Christian speakers, authors, artists, and leaders tell stories that actually connect to the heart of their audience I’ve coached communicators behind the scenes, helped shape messages for stages and events, and even spent seasons touring as an emcee and storyteller —so I’ve seen firsthand what makes people lean in… and what makes them check their phones. These days I’m taking all of that to TikTok, teaching simple storytelling strategies to help faith-driven entrepreneurs use their voice with clarity, confidence, and bold faith. I'm excited to learn about you.

Distraction doesn’t always announce itself. Most of the time, it looks productive. Full schedules. Open tabs. Open assignments. Open ideas. Constant motion with very little stillness. As Christian entrepreneurs, it’s easy to confuse momentum with alignment. We can be building, posting, planning, and producing — yet slowly drifting from the place where clarity is actually formed: the presence of God. The enemy doesn’t always try to stop the assignment. Sometimes he just keeps us in a flow of busyness disguised as productiveness. But when we dwell in the secret place and abide in him, something shifts! Creative ideas flow and come to life! This season is an invitation to go deep again — into the Word, into prayer, into the throne room — not just for strategy alone, but for direction. When we anchor ourselves to God’s presence, distractions lose their power, decisions become clearer, and our work flows from obedience instead of pressure. 📖 “But one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” — Luke 10:42 🕊️ Prayer 🕊️ Father God, We come before You acknowledging that You are our source — not our schedules, not our strategies, not our striving. In this season, draw us out of distraction and into depth. Teach us how to sit at Your feet again, to listen before we move, and to seek Your presence before we seek direction. We don’t want to build from pressure; we want to build from obedience. Anchor us in Your Word. Ground us in Your presence. Align our personal lives and professional assignments with heaven. Where our focus has been divided, bring clarity. Where we’ve been rushing, teach us to rest. Where we’ve leaned on our own understanding, gently realign our hearts to trust You fully. We choose the good portion. We choose depth over distraction. We choose presence over productivity. We receive Your peace, Your wisdom, and Your direction for this week. In Jesus’ name, Amen 🤍 Ladies drop your prayer requests this week below and let’s cover each other!!

☎️ On tonight’s Ambassador call: You’ve been taught “content pillars”: Educational, relatable, and inspirational. And you’ve been consistent in posting, but your content isn’t converting into sales. Now if you start thinking: • the algorithm hates you • you’re not consistent enough (you need more output) • you haven’t found the “right” hook or strategy yet OR • God is withholding favor from you Those are the surface explanations for those operating from identity lack. They are searching answers in external circumstances to justify the internal inadequacy and wondering why nothing’s working. Here’s what’s actually happening: Your content is informative, but not interruptive enough to invite a transformation. It’s encouraging, but not formative for your ideal client, so they hire someone else. It’s safe, but not activating or moving her towards a purchasing decision. So she nods. People agree. They like. They save. They want to “support” you externally, not pay you. They say, “this is SO good” in the comments. And your ego gets a stroke because on the outside it looks like you’re doing AMAZING! 🤩 …Rarely, are your actual customers in your comments section or liking your posts. But you still THINK they are. Because that’s the worldly lie you’ve been sold based on unchecked pride. But the 💰 isn’t moving and so you get discouraged. Here’s the Truth I won’t withhold from you: Information doesn’t create buyers. Recognition does. Most content teaches, informs, or inspires. Very little content REVEALS. And people don’t buy when they understand YOU. They buy when they see themselves, their split, their tension, and their readiness inside of your embodied work. ⚠️ This is the part most entrepreneurs avoid: They’re still operating like content creators, with “content pillars” that aren’t converting. But if your content never creates internal friction, it will never create forward motion. Jesus didn’t just inform crowds. He interrupted patterns, exposed identity gaps, offered His embodied solution, used storytelling, and then invited decision.
