As we celebrate Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, we’re diving deep into the stories of women in the Bible—women with broken pasts, difficult circumstances, and unlikely beginnings, yet God still chose them to do His kingdom work. From Mary Magdalene to Rahab, their transformations remind us that no one is beyond God’s grace.

But this isn’t just about them—it’s about us, too. I get real and vulnerable as I share two personal testimonies of how God’s protection covered me in ways I can’t explain: the time one of my poor choices left me stranded miles away from home and had to hitchhike and the terrifying moment when my husband and I were saved from what could have been a deadly car accident. These experiences remind me that even with my own broken past and poor decisions, God is using me to share His word and bring others closer to Him.

Walking the narrow road isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. In this episode, we’re unpacking:

• How God redeems and transforms lives, no matter where we’ve been
• Why perseverance and endurance are essential for our faith journey
• How to stay aligned with God’s will, even when life tries to pull you off course
• Practical ways to find your way back when you feel lost or under attack

No matter your past, no matter your struggles, God’s grace is bigger. His love is relentless. And He is calling YOU higher. Tune in for some encouragement, biblical wisdom, and a reminder that God is always moving in your life—even in the moments when you least expect it.

In this episode of The Woman of Faith Podcast, we explore the power of faithfulness and the dangers of turning away from God.

When we stay committed to Him, we position ourselves for His favor, protection, and victory. But when we turn away—whether out of pride, complacency, or fear—we face the consequences of walking outside His will.

In 2 Chronicles 12 & 13, we see two kings with very different outcomes. Rehoboam abandoned God’s ways and suffered loss, while Abijah stood firm in faith and saw victory—even when the odds were stacked against him. Their stories are a mirror for us today. Are we standing firm in our faith, or are we allowing the distractions of life to pull us away from God?

In this episode, we’re breaking down the rewards of faithfulness, the dangers of spiritual complacency, and how we can stay anchored in God through every season. Plus, I’ll share some real-life examples and self-reflection questions to help you apply these lessons to your own journey.

SELF-REFLECTION QUESTIONS

• ​Have I become spiritually complacent?

• ​Am I relying on my own strength or on God’s?
• ​What steps can I take today to renew my commitment?

What does it mean to stay true to your faith while navigating the world of fashion, social media, and influence? How do you hold onto God’s promises when the pressures of success and personal challenges try to shake your foundation?

In this episode of The Woman of Faith Podcast, I sit down with Junytza "JuJu" Pagan, a fashion and beauty influencer, working professional, mom, and, most importantly, a woman of faith. JuJu opens up about her humble beginnings growing up in the Bronx, how having little taught her to do more with less, and how that creativity has shaped her journey as an influencer. She also shares her faith walk as the only Christian in her family, what her relationship with God has looked like over the last 15 years, and how she’s trusted His plan—even when it didn’t make sense.

We also dive into:
✨ Faith Over Fashion – How God revealed that her influence would expand beyond beauty and style
✨ Letting Go – Releasing relationships that no longer align with God’s purpose

JuJu’s journey is a testament to God’s faithfulness, and her story will inspire you to trust Him more, embrace your authenticity, and walk boldly in your calling.

🔎 Self-Reflection Questions:

• In what areas of my life can I lean into my faith more to help guide my decisions?
• How can I remain authentic to who God has called me to be, even when faced with pressure or external expectations?
• What is one practical step I can take this week to balance my faith, my work, and my personal life more effectively?
