I first met Robin through mutual friends in a bible study about 4 years ago. At the time, I was really struggling with believing a promise that was given to me. This wasn’t a mere lapse in faith, this was a tormenting inability to express simple trust. My entire belief system seemed upended with an impassable roadblock.

After hearing Robin teach our online group, I was instantly drawn to her wisdom, captivated by her discernment and her ability to equip others. I decided to reach out to her about my faith struggle; in turn, she set up a call, and we delved into the details together. She quickly identified the roadblock, exposed a misconception on my part and helped me reconceptualize the promise with truth. Implementing the truths and strategies she taught me and praying through this painful struggle together has transformed my mind and my heart.

What I loved and admired most is that she never said anything that was enabling to me; rather, her insight and wisdom of Scripture empowered me! She is a gift, dear friend and confidant God has used numerous times. She champions others so well and fervently desires to see each person step into their God-given calling and fulfill their destiny.

"I experienced a pretty strong anxiety attack –a level I’d never felt before– in the midst of a video conference interview. It came seemingly from nowhere. After the trauma, I reached out to Robin asking for prayer/advice/counsel. She sent me truth that diminished the shame I felt about the event. Then we got on a call and I explained to her the details of the event, wanting to give her the full picture.

She was then able to call out any lies I expressed or spirits I partnered with, and reminded me that Jesus not only redeemed that attack, but he uses all things for good. A few days later, I had a follow-up interview. I was nervous and praying all day that I would not be hit with that wave of anxiety again. Robin was sending me reminders of victory all day leading up to the interview and interceded in prayer in the midst of it. Instead of bowing to fear and canceling the second interview altogether, I persevered and faced the trauma head-on. The peace that passes all understanding fell on me minutes into the interview, and worship music I had been listening to that morning was repeating in my head.

Using the tools that Robin taught me and ingesting the truth she continued to remind me of, I was able to leave the interview feeling confident and joyful, proud that the enemy had no hold on me."

There are so many things I could say about Robin Barlow. Besides the Lord, she has been the biggest influence in my pursuit of writing, of relationships, and of motherhood. When my husband and I found out I was pregnant, we were stressed about living in our one-bedroom apartment and not being able to afford anything larger. I remember calling Robin, who told me to take that apartment and begin seeking and praying for opportunities of increased revenue streams.

She prayed over me on the phone, and as soon as we hung up, I had someone contact me about a remote job opportunity teaching Chinese kids English online. We found a two-bedroom that same day, and were able to save over $7,000 that summer from this job. Two years later, and the Lord has increased my revenue streams (even as a stay-at-home mom!) to where I’m now making more than my husband per month.

As a life coach, Robin understands how to mix bold faith with the practical steps needed to get you to where He’s calling you. There’s no one I’d recommend more on this journey than her in your back corner. She will sharpen, encourage, and challenge you to MOVE where He’s leading. Atmosphere is truly a blessing from Heaven.
