I’m a world changer by the grace of God." —Kristen Wambach
The Rhema Shift: From Dust to Divinity
Kristen and Joe delve into the architecture of transformation. Drawing from 33 years of leadership, Kristen challenges the "religious poo" of tradition, asking a bold question: How much of 'it is finished' is actually finished? She posits that Christ, in laying down His deity to become fully human, provided the ultimate roadmap for our own "finest hour."
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle — victorious.”
— Vince Lombardi | Legendary Head Coach of the Green Bay Packers and namesake of the Super Bowl Trophy.
The Outcome-Focused Logic
Using the "Monday-morning" logic that defines her coaching mastery, Kristen explores the "DNA of the flower"—the biological and spiritual reality that we emit light and life when we are tuned into our source. This interview reveals that living Spiritually BRAVE isn't about surrendering to the forces of a divisive world, but about exhausting ourselves on the field of battle for a cause that is victorious.

Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino | Part II Guest: Kristen Wambach
Topic: How Good is God? Book Launch & Spiritual Bravery
[0:00] Joe Dimino: That's my proof copy. So, how did the book idea come about?
[0:11] Kristen Wambach: Well, God told me some secrets and I had some experiences and I thought I should share them.
[0:22] Joe Dimino: So talk to me a little bit about the process of not only the beginnings... when you have the idea for the book it's a long journey... and it's a longer journey when you get in and you have to promote it. Talk to me about the entire ride. What has this ride been like from the idea of having it to actually having it in your hands and seeing it happen?
[0:48] Kristen Wambach: Because it's my second book, I stepped into it with a lot more fear and trembling because I knew how much work was ahead of me.
[1:03] Joe Dimino: So, give me a synopsis of the book for anyone out there that's curious... How do you pitch it? What's your elevator pitch to get people to buy the book?
[1:21] Kristen Wambach: Can I put a question out there for you?
[1:26] Joe Dimino: Yes, please.
[1:26] Kristen Wambach: Okay. So, as I said, I took some secrets and experiences that were between God and I and now I'm sharing them. Right? I absolutely love sports coaching quotes. I love them. They just speak my language of "get in your face. This is the issue. What are you going to do about it? And who are you called to be?" One of my favorites—and I know that you're going to recognize this—is from the legendary coach Bobby Bowden. He once said, "For a team to truly have a great year, something has to change. Something has to happen that simply cannot be coached. It has to be outside of what you've experienced."
[2:38] Kristen Wambach: You're a sports writer and you've seen thousands of plays. You're a creator yourself. Have you ever witnessed when God steps onto the table and changes the platform... changes your table, changes how you think about life, how you write things, how you communicate?
[3:14] Joe Dimino: I'm gonna answer that in two ways. First, in a sports way... In Kansas City in 2014, we had gone through 30 years of no championships... we pulled off a miracle. There was a speech one of the players gave everybody... Bobby's totally right. There's something about the architecture of a team that needs to be more than glue. It needs to be emulsified.
[4:35] Joe Dimino: I want to segue real quick... When you grow up in like the Midwest, for instance, and you're in the Bible belt... you're getting kind of indoctrinated. But you as a human being need to have some level of proof that God exists, some level of empiricism—the magic that you're talking about. So in your walk, what was the first time that you felt that there was absolutely undeniably a God that existed?
[5:16] Kristen Wambach: Cause I felt forgiven.
[5:27] Joe Dimino: How old? When was that?
[5:27] Kristen Wambach: 29, 30. Had two boys so far on the ground. That's farm talk. But see how you explained it from the Bible belt... the faith of my fathers came directly from that. That is the same "religious poo" that I questioned. And I say that with the highest honor and respect. But when you start to question, "Why do I believe this?" Shaking it out... Then you get in the face of God. He says, "Okay, I'm going to show you."
[6:43] Joe Dimino: When I was growing up, my best friend Matt had liver issues... He ended up dying when I was 16... Years later I would always have these dreams... I asked him, "What does God feel like?" And all of a sudden, I was over a lake... my big toe barely skimmed the top of the lake and I was out. I've never seen him since.
[8:07] Kristen Wambach: Have you asked him another question?
[8:09] Joe Dimino: I've never seen him since. Like that was almost on some spiritual roulette wheel... I wanted to know what God felt like because I'm sure I knew that he knew that. We want some level of empiricism. We're hoping for it, right?
[8:57] Kristen Wambach: But if we put the question on the table, have you ever asked is he really what you would call dead?
[9:13] Joe Dimino: No... that's an interesting way of putting it. No.
[9:47] Kristen Wambach: Well, it's a really good question to ask. Now, I have had a few encounters like that with people. And in my book—I'm going to go in my book because that's where I got brave enough to say, okay, what we were taught is not exactly correct about the audacious goodness of God. If I keep it to myself, how does that serve? God is so much "goodter" than our current bandwidth about him. We need to address that question every time: "Well, God, how good are you in this circumstance?"
[10:44] Joe Dimino: I remember seeing Ethan Hawke... he touched on something I've always kind of felt. Since we only use a very low bandwidth of our brain power, I think sometimes the idea of a spiritual deity and God is so grandiose that we're just trying to stay above the surface... Do you ever think about how enormous it is?
[11:38] Kristen Wambach: I'm showing you a tulip. A white tulip that has little pink fringes on it. When I got up this morning, that tulip was completely closed. And then I got here, I talked to God... and went, "It's open." It has been cut from its life source. How does it continue to know to open? It is in the DNA of the flower. But also, I've heard that we as humans emit light. At a minimum, our spinal column has enough electricity for a bolt of lightning. So, your light... your zeal for being awake... is probably also a part of that flower feeling what you're putting out, too.
[13:15] Joe Dimino: That's a great comeback. There's a lot of ways that our country and what's going on right now is falling over a cliff... there's a lot of fear. Is that dinging your hope?
[13:50] Kristen Wambach: It actually challenges me in humanity. Believing in the goodness of humanity. But for the type of person I am, we are sifting for the truth and will not settle until it has arrived. That's what gave me the courage to write my second book. Because if people don't know—whether in ignorance or in searching—that God is "goodter"... if we don't ask, who's going to tell them? Who's going to stand up in history and be a radical?
[15:52] Kristen Wambach: To be quite honest, I don't have a lot of memories of those kind of people [who saw a spark in me] because I was so challenged with dyslexia before it was identified. What used to go around in my head is what was written on my report card: "She doesn't apply herself." You've got to change the label.
[17:09] Joe Dimino: Well, and it's about awareness, too. My son's on the spectrum... back in the day and they didn't know what to do with it, it was putting a band-aid on a gusher, right?
[18:00] Joe Dimino: In the realm of podcasting, do you find that to be a therapeutic healing realm for you to process what we're living through?
[18:13] Kristen Wambach: Absolutely. I think and I talk at the same time and it helps me to process. I always have the same realization: if I am walking through this, there's a huge atmosphere of people that are also walking through this.
[19:03] Kristen Wambach: Are we actually all trying to figure this thing out? I meet a whole lot of people that I don't think are questioning that at all. I can't go and complain about laws or politicians if I'm not willing to follow through what I've been called to support, what I've been called to open my mouth over.
[21:05] Joe Dimino: Being a good human being would be a good way to begin, right?
[21:34] Joe Dimino: Where can people pick up your book?
[21:36] Kristen Wambach: My book is available at any of your fine retailers. And then on my website, they can purchase it from me and I'll sign it. I'm very proud of it. My very favorite quote: "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour... is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle, victorious." Vince Lombardi. Are we living our finest hour?
[23:32] Kristen Wambach: I asked that question by my history and experiences with Christ. If he seriously laid down his deity... he had to be human, completely human. He had to learn how to walk on water. He had to learn that he knew that he could do that. Christ died for us and he continually says that it's finished. How much of "done" is done?
[25:23] Joe Dimino: I wanted to give everybody a good flavor of the book and our passion. I'm going to put links in the show notes. It's great to catch up with you.
[25:39] Kristen Wambach: I have another baseball story in the queue, but I can't tell it yet.
[25:52] Joe Dimino: We'll pick it back up next time. Best of luck on the release. Thank you.
