What I love about my conversation with our featured warrior woman, Gabriella Pierre is how it stems from the basis of putting the will of God at the forefront. Matthew 6:33 says But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.   And it sure did! Gabby is now engaged to the man of her dreams, a graduate from Harvard, a 6th grade English teacher and the creator behind a thriving YouTube channel dedicated to faith, lifestyle and education. She is also the founder of the apparel company Blessed By The King.    But we're here to talk about the in-between. You will hear about how Gabby learned to step out on faith, the importance of being concerned about what God thinks about you and not what culture says about you, making the most of your singleness and the importance of righteousness.   Watch the interview on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/ktP2PDyH7fs Click here for Gabby's Instagram & YouTube channel!   Armor up on Instagram with me! www.instagram.com/adornedinarmor/

My sister/bestie just left for Laos as a Fulbright scholar for a YEAR. Of course, I had to interview Medgina to share her crazy testimony, bold wisdom and irreplaceable wit. The former Byrdie Beauty and Snapchat's Sweet Contributor takes us on a journey of struggles from waiting for the right opportunity to fearing she will miss it. She answers a huge question: can YOU mess up God's plans? Tune in to find out! You'll learn: * about the floodgates of blessings that unleashes when you APOLOGIZE to people who wronged YOU * the signs God gives you when He's calling you out your comfort zone (& sometimes, very far away) * the importance of reckless obedience * to address the elephant in the room * to be still. Forever proud of you, sissy. Thanks for sharing your story. Watch out world, she's grown now

Waiting is annoying, isn't it? It's also necessary. Here's what you should do when it feels like God isn't working on your behalf.

There are so many voices vying for our attention. The media, social media, our family, our friends...the enemy. In this episode, warrior woman Aundra Williams shares how spiritual warfare showed her how to decipher God’s voice. After coming to Christ at age 21 and facing the difficult journey of letting go of friends she grew up with, God was determined to take her to a new level. Still, she struggled with the promiscuity of her past and how people tried to keep her there, not having the “supposed” necessities to pursue God’s call, and feeling unqualified to spread the word of God without a ministry degree. Today, Aundra speaks with conviction and she’s dedicated to teach you the method of silencing the noise and master hearing the voice of our Maker. We talk about baptism and its refreshing power. You’ll learn tips to follow God’s call over your life, too - no matter what anyone says. People will remind you who you were in the past but God will reintroduce you. It’s time to drown out all the noise. God is willing to shut everything down but first, clean out your ears, sis, and look up. ✨HELP ME SPREAD GOD'S LOVE ✨ My ministry is now accepting donations!!!

What's in your hand? You're sprinting with your fist clenched so don't say it's nothing. And I get it: the race away from God comes naturally to us. A tight grip? Comes even easier. But whether you are aware or not, you're running -- ducking and dodging hurdles. You're not free. For the longest, author Jasmine Morris ran off course. She was beaten and torn down, stripped and left with what seemed to be nothing until, she realized everything she needed was in the arms of her Father. In this episode, Jasmine opens up about her struggle with relinquishing control. We talk about true forgiveness, learning God and trusting Him completely. There's a prodigal daughter in us that needs to realize the only way to the finish line is by passing God the baton. Open your hand. Place yours in His. Propel yourself into your future by letting go of your hinderances. It's time we turnaround; its time to run back home. ✨ ARMOR UP, GIRL! ✨

"Why me, God?" It's a question we have all wondered. Warrior woman Christian Joy Riley (@sheischristianjoy) is not exempt. However, she's ready to equip you with gems that'll fixate your mind on the bigger picture. Chrissy is a stylist, influencer, and lover of Jesus. She discusses armoring up to fight illness and developing a bigger heart of service for those suffering. We talk about moving when God gives you the go, renewing your mind and spirit and discovering true, unadulterated joy. This life your living? It's not about you. God will use your sickness, your shortcomings, your sins and setbacks, as His platform. After listening to this episode, you'll go from "why me?" to "use me." Regardless of your struggle, you'll be thanking God for choosing you to carry out His mission.

Are you struggling with a secret sin? You know, the dirty one no one ever talks about. The one you beat yourself over -- angry, because you messed up again. and again. and again. Today's episode features blogger and warrior woman Camilla Thurston. We talk about how to get out. To run. To flee. You may think sin rules over you but really, you allow its power when you try to clean up the mess on your own. When it comes to temptation, you are not as strong as you think. Camilla confesses her struggle with pornography and trying to discover who she is. We talk about identifying trouble and making the decision to put God first. She shares how she doesn't know who she is or who she wants to be but is now willing to explore with God and allow Him write that story. Here, you'll learn God is willing to forgive you so now, it's time to forgive yourself. You are not worthless. You are not alone.

This week’s episode features Christina Kwarteng, formerly known as Just Missed The Runway (@cmariekwarteng). The killer fashionista unleashes powerful testimonies on her blog and goes to war in prayer. You probably recognize her face — Christina has worked with notable brands and appeared on The Rachel Ray show. Later, her proposal video went viral on The Shaderoom and then, her wedding on WhatsApp. She is a true woman of God living out her life in His blessings. Before Christ, Christina had to experience heartbreak time and time again to learn what it truly means to fall in love with Jesus. And now that she has her dream man, she is relishing the fruits of her obedience. In this episode, you’ll learn God has many layers, and like any relationship, you must dig for yourself. You’ll learn about putting off pressures and how pleasing man means to displease God. Tune in as we cover how to cut off the branches of fear, trolls and grow in obeying the voice of God.

Episode 9: Get out your feelings, sis. You're settling. What's wrong with me? Everyone is getting married. Everyone is being proposed to. God, when will it be my turn? If that's a question you've asked countless times...if you're frustrated with your lack of options...or if you find God is nudging at your heart to let that man go -- this message is for you. Warrior Woman Joy Osahon is adamant about women knowing their worth. Her mission is to be the constant reminder that there is more! She has made it point to tell anybody -- everybody not to settle for less! And in this episode, you'll hear just that. The relationship and faith blogger encourages a self-check, teaches how dating can impact your purpose, and also, shares how to avoid operating out of your emotions. In this episode, you will learn: - You are way more than the relationship. - There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. - And to never ever give in for the ring. Some talking points include: the power of sex, breaking off soul-ties and what it truly means to let go. You'll gain the weapons to think with your brain and be led by The Spirit, even when your heart is screaming the loudest. As Joy says, "God is positioning you for your blessing, even when it's not in sight." The best is worth waiting for.

What would Jesus do? We've all asked that question at one point or the other. And while we may think the acronym is quite corny - are we living consciously with Christ at the forefront? Hanha Hobson of Transparency Blog will shift your perspective when you hear about her struggle of loving like Jesus. The warrior woman opens up about her new place and checking herself in the way she treats people. Your mind will be blown by the profound way she uses science to diagnose the problem and solves it with faith. I am so invigorated by how passionate she is about pursuing her relationship with God, her wisdom on waiting, how to watch our attitudes and reminding us God will not waste our time! In loving like Jesus, He will change your environment. He will send you the most trying people to deal with. But in the end, you'll find that your assignments have changed your heart. Not only will you learn the best way to love, you will come to know just how much God loves you. 5:00 God Told Me to Move (When you think you’re going to be a doctor and God changes your plans abruptly!) 8:40 What Does Confirmation Look Like To You?

Have you ever wished you could have a conversation with your younger self? Maybe you did in the form of a letter or maybe you’ve considered journaling. This interview with Warrior Woman Dominique Henderson (@dominiqueajai) will inspire you to look in your mirror in a new way. In this episode, we are looking back in order to push forward. We go from dwelling in insecurities to finding our identity in Christ. We cover self-condemnation, the difference between being alone and being lonely and teach the necessary steps to loving ourselves. You’ll know how to humble and HONOR yourself. Protect yourself. Guard your gift. You’ll be moved following Dom’s journey from isolation to yearning to spend time with our Father. It’s time to look at what hurt you and tell it, it will no longer have that power over you today. What happened in the past, may have not been your fault. But God will hold you with the apology you never got... in order to turnaround your future.

This week’s warrior woman is Drea of @dreaspeaks. A believer you definitely can’t fit into a box. She’s an engineer, a fashion enthusiast, a photographer — just an all around creative. In this episode, you’ll witness how creative God is too! I am entirely blown away by Dre’s testimony of how God saved her from herself. He will do anything in order to deliver a message straight to you. That’s love. You’ll relate to Drea’s current struggle as she learns to embrace and promote her gifts. You’ll hear of her dreams and will dream along too. But most importantly you will be more aware of your choices and how no matter how far you stray, you can always choose to come back because once you turn around, God will already be there. He is chasing you.

Has God trapped you in the middle? You know, the place that gives you vision for where you want to be but it’s just not time yet? Or maybe you have no idea but you just know you’re in the middle. How do you deal? You’ll hear how Jireh of fashion meets God is struggling with letting go of the details. She has moved from Michigan to California to the Philippines and now faces the struggle of learning a new industry and making a different country home. You’ll go from feeling like God’s not listening to know with assurance that He hears and He cares. You’ll be convicted about making time for what God has called you to, regardless of your season. Whether you’re just starting out, you’re in the middle or you’re racing towards the finish line, you will learn to search for God wherever you are. #dressedforbattlepodcast

Why, God? How, God? You said what, God? Okay, maybe that was me, God. Have you ever questioned what God revealed to you? Have you ever asked Him, are you sure? He gave you signs. He whispered it into your spirit. He sent people to you. He spoke it loud and clear. And you believed Him...at least until life hit you. Brenda of @justlivingforjesus_ and I, took to the outdoors to sit down and discuss God’s plan. This year, she conquered believing in who God says she is. But now she’s struggling with accepting His word. She’s struggling with listening to Him. In this episode, you’ll learn God believes in your dreams too. And how He will give you moments of clarity for you to keep in your pocket. You’ll discover how God wants to hear your questions and extinguish your doubts. You’ll learn to believe Him the first time. You’ll break out of the do’s and don’ts of Christianity and more into relationship. More into just living for Jesus. #dressedforbattlepodcast Loved this episode? Please leave a review and follow me @dressedforbattlepodcast and @adornedinarmor!

I met up with Nana Yaa Ansah (@themidimaven), the faith and wellness influencer behind @themidimaven. This episode gets real, real quick as we discuss a topic that isnt talked about until it’s too late. One that is almost taboo to not only society, but even the Christian community: mental health. Nana opens up about the breakdown that changed everything — we have the conversation about being mindful of calling people crazy and the debate on whether or not mental illness is a health thing, a spiritual thing or both. You’ll leave here prayerful and with some practical tips for check ins with Christ every moment of your life. Let’s get into talking mental health and how to defeat the mind games of the enemy. #dressedforbattlepodcast Thank you for listening! Please subscribe, rate and comment!
