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.

🎧 Listen now and be reminded that you are chosen, called, and covered by God’s grace! #WomenOfFaith #GodsGrace #FaithJourney

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.

In this episode of The Woman of Faith Podcast, I’m diving into a topic close to my heart: how faith can help turn your dreams into reality. Have you ever felt God place a big dream in your heart, but fear or uncertainty held you back from pursuing it? Or maybe you've started the journey but faced so many obstacles that you’re questioning if it’s still worth it? Today, we’re going to explore how faith, trust in God’s timing, and taking action are key to turning those dreams into something tangible.

I’ll be sharing insights from scripture, including Habakkuk 2:2-3, where God urges us to write the vision and trust in His appointed time. We’ll also look at powerful examples like Priscilla Shirer and my own personal story, showing how faith leads to extraordinary outcomes, even in the face of setbacks.

I’ll also take you through Joseph’s journey, where betrayal and imprisonment didn’t derail his dream, but rather prepared him for God’s perfect timing. Remember, the challenges we face aren’t detours—they’re part of God’s process.
