In this empowering Topic Talk, Dr. Angela Chester sits down with Heather Sells, Author and Child Trauma Advocate, to discuss Mental Health: Whole, Not Perfect.

This conversation is for anyone navigating recovery, rebuilding confidence, or learning to honor their whole story.

What does it mean to follow God when His guidance comes in whispers rather than wonders? In this profound and soul-stirring Topic Talk, Dr. Angela Chester sits down with Christian mystic, educator, and author Mark K. Olsen to explore the quiet ways God leads us—especially during seasons of uncertainty, stillness, and change.Mark shares insights from his deeply spiritual walk and writing, offering timeless truths about hearing God's voice, trusting divine timing, and staying faithful when the path ahead is unclear. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of spiritual discernment, contemplative faith, and the mystical beauty of walking with God in quiet surrender.

What does it really mean to be both strong in faith and fully feminine? In this heartfelt and revealing episode, Dr. Angela unpacks the beauty and boldness of embracing femininity without compromising spiritual depth or leadership authority. Whether you're nurturing a family, building a business, or both, this conversation invites you to explore how grace and grit can coexist in the life of a woman of faith. It's time to rise with intention, lead with softness, and rediscover the sacred power of who you are.

We've all done it—pushed down the words we knew needed to be said, sidestepped the issue we didn't want to face, or smiled through something we should've confronted. In today's episode, Dr. Angela invites you to consider the power, peace, and purpose that can come when you stop avoiding and start addressing. Whether it's a boundary that needs to be set, a truth that needs to be told, or healing that's waiting on your honesty, this conversation might just be the one that changes everything.

Leadership isn't something you wait for; it's something you walk in. In this episode of Daily Spark with Dr. Angela, we're breaking the myth that you need someone else's validation to step into your calling. Whether you're leading in the boardroom, your home, your community, or your spiritual walk, this message is a powerful reminder that leadership begins with belief—from the inside out.Join Dr. Angela for an empowering conversation that will challenge your mindset, fuel your confidence, and remind you that you were born to lead. No permission slip required.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Angela reminds us that transformation is not a crisis, it's confirmation. When God shifts something in your life in your mindset, your relationships, or your assignment, it's not always meant to be comfortable, but it is always meaningful. Whether you're in the middle of reinvention or rediscovery, this message speaks to the woman who knows she's being called higher, even if the path looks unfamiliar.Embrace your evolution without fear. What's changing in you is not breaking you, it's building you.

Breaking Cycles, Finding Clarity, and Healing Through Generations On this compelling episode of Daily Spark TV, Dr. Angela Chester sits down with author James Maiwurm to explore the layered truths in his book, Inheritance of Crises and Dysfunction, a thought-provoking look at generational patterns, leadership, and the long shadow of unresolved history.Together, they unpack how dysfunction -- whether in families, institutions, or culture can be passed down like heirlooms, and what it takes to recognize, interrupt, and heal those inherited crises. James shares personal stories and professional insight with honesty and hope, reminding us that awareness is the first step toward legacy-shifting transformation.

This isn't just encouragement, it's a declaration.In this fire-filled episode, Dr. Angela Chester reminds us that fear doesn't get the final word. Whether you're walking through uncertainty, opposition, or pressure, God's presence remains—and so does His promise. This is your call to rise up, hold steady, and choose faith over fear every single time.

You've prayed. You've obeyed. But it still feels like nothing's shifting.Today's episode is for the faithful woman feeling stuck between obedience and outcomes. Dr. Angela Chester speaks to the soul of the one who's doing all the right things but feels like the promise is on pause. This Motivating Monday reminder will help you trust that even when the pace feels slow, heaven is still working on your behalf.

 We live in a world that tries to divide us, compare us, and keep us silent. But today's episode is about lifting each other up, not just in moments of triumph, but through the valleys, the breakthroughs, and the everyday in between. We're talking about Strength in Sisterhood. And I want you to lean in because this message is going to stir something in your spirit.
