I needed trustworthy people who would really love me, tell me the truth and partner with me in seeking God’s plan for my life. That’s what Pastor Krause and his wife gave me. Most people call it mentoring but it was so much more. It’s a rare gift to be spiritually and practically discipled and trained. “I was being promoted quickly at my job, I was getting fed at my church and I enjoyed being near my family. So there was a part of me that didn’t want to move from my comfort zone. In my quiet time, I heard that still small voice—some call it a conscience—I know it’s God. I heard: 'If you stay in this job any longer, it will become toil. But if you obey God and leave Sacramento, your career and relationships will become deeper and richer.'” Giving 150 Percent “Don’t look for an escape route,” Pastor Krause advised. “When you get your new job it will come with new responsibilities. You’ll have to work 50 percent harder. The way you go out is the way you’ll go in, so start now giving 150 percent.” Adrienne took her pastor’s words to heart. She worked 150 percent at her job. She served wholeheartedly at church, volunteering in a number of departments including the cleaning crew, the bookstore and children’s church. She gave 150 percent to studying God’s Word and learning to live by faith. She invested financially in her future by giving more and getting out of debt. By 2011, Adrienne was debt free. A year later, in March 2012, the CBS news director in Dallas/Fort Worth called Adrienne. “Are you still under contract?” “No, I’m not.” “I’d like to fly you here for an audition.” Adrienne walked into the CBS station confident and poised. She knew she would move into her next job the way she’d gone out of her last one. She’d given it everything she had and more. “You don’t even seem nervous,” the news director said. She wasn’t. She aced the audition and was offered the job. Adrienne was ready. “I believe that life is a journey and we each need tour guides along the way. I have such loyalty and respect for the godly men and women in my life. If you get planted in the right church and learn to walk by faith, everything else falls into place.” Adrienne Bankert has learned that while it was God who planted the dream in her heart, His dream was bigger than hers. While working at CBS 11 News, she interviewed Oprah Winfrey and filled in for Sharon Osbourne as a guest host of The Talk on CBS. Without a doubt, her life and her career grew richer for the experience. In December 2014, Adrienne left the news station to pursue other goals. And though she can’t say exactly what the future may hold, Adrienne purposes to continue to act on that one simple principle she learned years ago: “When we put the Word of God into operation in our lives, God can do the impossible.” The one thing she is positive about now is this: Whatever door God opens next, she will step through it in faith.
