What happens when you mix a love for flamingos, a heart for ministry, and unparalleled entrepreneurial wisdom? You get Katie Horner, a guest who left us inspired, challenged, and full of hope. On the first episode of season three of Coffee Chat with Amber & Lisa, we dive into how Katie has mastered balancing faith, family, and business, sharing powerful insights from her journey as a homeschool pioneer, author of 90 books, and international speaker.
Flamingos, Faith, and Forward Thinking
Katie’s story is a vibrant testimony of walking boldly in the calling God has designed
specifically for you. From her beginnings as a homeschool advocate in Mexico to coaching high-performing entrepreneurs, Katie proves that embracing your God-given uniqueness can lead to unimaginable opportunities.
"Every one of us is called to be a light in the world," Katie reminds us. "You don’t have to flaunt anything to be a witness—just live like someone who knows Jesus."
How to Shine Without Burning Out
Katie doesn’t just talk about success; she emphasizes doing it with purpose and rest. Her tips on evaluating goals quarterly and aligning them with God’s guidance hit home, especially in today’s fast-paced world. And let’s not forget her wisdom on time management:
"Time is an earthly construct, but we have dominion over it. Trust God to help you use it wisely and let Him expand your capacity."
A Call to Boldness
One of the most striking moments in this chat is Katie’s challenge to Christian entrepreneurs:
"It’s not prideful to tell the world what God can do through you. When you reflect all the glory back to Him, you are elevating His name, not yours."
