What if the reason so many women feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, and overwhelmed… has nothing to do with a lack of willpower?In this episode, I sit down with holistic women's and menstrual health expert Nicole Bendayan to explore the truth about hormones, birth control, cycle tracking, feminine energy, fertility, and the wisdom of the female body.For decades, women have been taught to suppress symptoms instead of understand them. Painful periods, hormonal imbalances, burnout, mood swings, PMS, anxiety, and disconnection have become so common that many women believe they're normal.But what if they're not?In this conversation, we dive deep into the menstrual cycle, why women were never meant to feel the same every day, the impact of hormonal birth control, how modern life disconnects women from their natural rhythm, and what it means to truly work with your body instead of against it.You'll learn how hormones influence energy, emotions, relationships, intuition, confidence, attraction, and overall well-being. We also discuss what men need to understand about women, how to support a partner through different phases of her cycle, and why reconnecting to the feminine may be one of the most important health conversations of our time.This conversation is eye-opening, empowering, controversial, and deeply healing.Whether you're a woman looking to better understand your body or a man wanting to better understand the women in your life, this episode is a must-listen.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STEPHANIE:I want to share a special invitation with you. You may have heard that I will be releasing my first book with IVP on July 28, 2026. It's a big deal and I am so overwhelmed with God' goodness in allowing me to share such an essential message about delighting in Him as the true essential foundation for all our spiritual growth and maturing. Truly, when we delight in the Lord, He promises to give us the desires of our hearts – namely, more of Himself!So, here's the invitation. If you feel this message is indeed important, and you know people – including yourself perhaps – who need to be encouraged to awaken and cultivate their delight in God, would you consider joining my book launch team? It's a great and super easy way to share the good news of God's love for us in Christ, Jesus, our Lord.**If you're interested, please go to gospelspice.com/awakendelight and find the section about joining the launch team, or email me at contact@gospelspice.com **Together, let's encourage everyone we know with the wonderful news that, in Christ, God delights in us and invites us to delight in Him!Stephanie Rousselle welcomes returning guests Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock for a reflective and practical exploration of what it means to delight in God—especially in the ordinary and difficult seasons of life.Delighting in God is a daily discipline rooted in noticing, gratitude, humility, and relational engagement. Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock illustrate that wonder and joy can be found at “the molecular level” of life, as we learn to see reality with the eyes of heaven.Cultivating delight in God starts with intentional attention—slowing down to observe and appreciate even the small gifts in daily life. Andi Ashworth describes how, after a busy season promoting their book, she cultivated a new practice: sitting quietly in her small perennial garden, reading Scripture, praying, and simply noticing the details of creation—birdsong, blooming flowers, the work of bees. Over time, this intentional noticing awakened deeper gratitude and joy in the presence of God, even as life's hardships persisted.Delight is a daily practice, a choice to “step into reality” and seek God's presence even in suffering. This deliberate practice transforms pain into moments of worship and gratitude. Charlie Peacock shares that delight in God is not dependent on favorable circumstances or feelings of happiness. Suffering—including his chronic headache of nearly ten years—taught him to seek and experience God's presence regardless of pain. He emphasizes that true delight must be able to exist within difficulty, or it is not truly delight.Intimacy and delight with God are relational and participatory. God invites us to pursue Him, and as we do, He meets us. Sometimes we wait passively for God to manifest delight, and other times we strive to create it in our own strength. In reality, pursuing delight is a “dance”—God initiates and leads, but we must actively respond and show up, especially when delight seems elusive.Hardships, while unwelcome, often become ministers of grace, rooting us in humility and expanding our capacity for love and presence. Through chronic pain and other challenges, both Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock have experienced God's grace and a deepening humility. Charlie Peacock notes how his “thorn” limits self-reliance and ambition, drawing him toward greater dependence on Christ and shaping him into Christ's likeness. Andi Ashworth observes that their limitations have expanded their hearts and increased their compassion for others.Never outgrow asking your good Father for small joys. Delight in God blossoms in those who cultivate grateful, attentive hearts. Both guests encourage maintaining childlike wonder and gratitude—even for small blessings like a hot shower, a well-timed parking space, or serendipitous tickets to an event. These moments, prayed for and received as gifts, reinforce God's goodness and nearness.Practices to Foster DelightStart each day with gratitude for basic abilities and provisions.Notice small joys—in nature, family, daily routines—and thank God specifically.Pray about “matters of mutual concern”: what matters to God, matters to us.Accept and embrace limitations as invitations to deeper dependence and presence.Reflection question: What small gift might God be inviting you to notice—and delight in—today? MORE ABOUT "AWAKEN DELIGHT" BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

What if the thing that's holding you back isn't a lack of clarity? What if it's fear? Many of us spend years trying to figure ourselves out. We read the books, do the healing, attend the workshops, and slowly begin to understand who we really are and what we truly want. But then comes the hard part. Living it. Because being fully yourself comes with risks. You may disappoint people. You may outgrow relationships. You may stop fitting into roles that once defined you. And you may discover that the life you're being called toward looks very different than the one you've been living. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the hidden fears that keep us playing small, staying quiet, and holding back parts of ourselves that are ready to be expressed. We talk about: why authenticity feels risky the fear of disappointing others being seen and being judged outgrowing old identities why so many women stay stuck even when they know what they want the relationship between self-trust and self-expression the freedom that comes when we stop trying to be who everyone else expects us to be What if you're not lacking confidence? What if you're simply afraid of what will happen when you stop pretending? Because becoming fully yourself isn't about becoming someone new. It's about having the courage to stop hiding who you've been all along. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey! Thanks for listening!

Actor, writer, and musician. What can't he do!? This week the critics listen to and discuss "Awaken, My Love" by Childish Gambino. This episode features news about the reflecting pool.

Drinking is a really acceptable thing in the US. Most towns have liquor stores on every few corners. Every home decor store has products with some variation of the same, tongue-in-cheek humor: “Mommy's Go-Go Juice,” “I'm not whining, I'm wine-ing,” or “It's WINE O'CLOCK!” More often than not, explaining that you're sober can be more awkward than explaining that you binge drink every other weekend. In fact, in the 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 79.2% of people aged 12 and up reported that they had consumed alcohol at some point in their lifetime.  Drinking is, for most people, considered “normal.” And for Laura McKowen, drinking was just a part of life – of work, of her social life, of relaxing. She didn't realize how destructive it was until things had gone too far and her brother confronted her, saying, “This is your thing. You can't drink.” Laura is here today to walk us through her addiction, guilt, turmoil, recovery, and path onwards, sharing the nine things that anyone facing addiction needs to hear.

This week, Stephanie centers on understanding Christian suffering, especially in seasons when God feels absent, and explores how to trust Christ in the midst of pain, grief, and confusion.We are in the middle of our “Awaken Delight” series, based on Stephanie's new book. Each week, we explore a different facet of what makes delight in God difficult and challenging. How can we live the reality of Psalm 37:4 when life is hard? "Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." This is God's promise to you in Psalm 37:4. But many believers quietly assume it's just a poetic suggestion, or it doesn't really work here on earth.Our FREE gift to you today!

Delight in God is not fleeting emotion but resilient identity.Delight in God is altogether trust, satisfaction in God, relational intimacy with Him.Delight in God is often expressed and grown through resilient joy under suffering.Delight in God is the missing engine behind resilience. It's the antidote to burnout. It's even the foundation for sustainable ministry.God's delight in you is secure, not performance-dependent. God's delight in you frees you from striving! That's the beginning of delight.Jesus is the center of every endeavor to delight in God.You can build a delight-centered spiritual life.Awaken Delight invites you to follow Scriptural truths and spiritual practices that cultivate daily joy in God.This week, Stephanie invites us to examine the nature of suffering from a Christian perspective. She addresses different types of pain—physical, psychological, relational, emotional, and spiritual—and affirms that suffering is a universal human experience. She shares several composite stories:Thomas: Endures chronic physical pain, wrestling with why healing hasn't come but continues to pray and trust that God is enough.Aisha: Struggles against spiritual oppression and insomnia, clinging to God's promises despite not sensing His presence.Dan: Faces depression and spiritual dryness, with faith persisting stubbornly beneath the surface.Margaret: Grieves the loss of her spouse, finding grace in small mercies.Javier: Suffers the pain of family estrangement, daily choosing forgiveness and hope for reconciliation.We are encouraged to identify with these stories and realize we are not alone.Common Experiences in Christian Suffering1. Feeling MisunderstoodSufferers often receive shallow platitudes from others—such as “God's got this” or “Count it all joy”—which, while technically true, are often hurtful when mistimed. Suffering Christians primarily need presence, not slogans.2. Emotional FluctuationSuffering brings emotional unpredictability—peace and panic, gratitude and anger. These ups and downs do not mean spiritual instability; rather, they are normal human responses.3. Seeking Comfort, Not ExplanationAlthough initial pain leads us to search for answers, comfort is ultimately found not in reasons but in the Shepherd's presence.4. Holding Both Faith and AnguishMature Christian suffering means affirming both God's goodness and the reality of pain simultaneously; raw, honest prayers replace polished formulas.5. Reduced Religious PerformanceSuffering eradicates concern for spiritual image. Depth in Scripture reading grows—not in breadth, but as a lifeline, especially in Psalms, Job, and the story of Jesus' suffering.6. The Role of LamentLament becomes covenant communication: honest complaints, questions, and cries are not signs of weak faith but of depth and intimacy.While suffering may sometimes result from sin, it is not always the case. Discernment and the Holy Spirit's clear conviction are key. Vague guilt and general feelings of punishment are not from God; His conviction is always specific.When God seems silent, it's not proof He has abandoned us. Moments of suffering can be where He works most deeply, just as the cross felt like God's greatest absence but was His greatest act of love. Faith in suffering is not the absence of questions, lament, or feeling lost, but the commitment to remain with God—even if only weakly.Practical Lessons1.      Pray honestly and directly, not just politely.2.      Resist withdrawal from God and community.3.      Remember: God's commitment is final and irreversible—even when you cannot sense Him.4.      Trust His heart even when you cannot see His hand.DISCOVER THE BOOK BEHIND THE PODCAST | "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight — not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Delight in God isn't a mood to manufacture; it's a relationship to receive.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.Delighting in God isn't sentimental optimism.

After losing her child, Inna Segal saw an angel that set her on a decades-long path of healing and spiritual awakening. In this deep conversation we go from her supernatural origin story into Rudolf Steiner and anthroposophy, the difference between raw intuition and true spiritual study, how trauma gets stored in the body, and a bold, mystical re-reading of Christ, karma, and what forgiveness actually costs.

What if everything you've been told about manifesting is wrong?In this episode of The Higher Self, Danny Morel breaks down why manifesting has nothing to do with vision boards, affirmations, or doing more — and everything to do with who you are being. The moment you stop performing for the world and return to your heart, abundance and love stop being things you chase and start being things you attract.But here's what most people won't admit — performance is a mask. A defense mechanism designed to protect you from the one thing that terrifies you most: true intimacy. With others. With yourself.In this episode you'll learn:Why true manifesting is a state of being — not a strategy or a practiceHow performance in business and relationships is actually a fear of being deeply seenWhat it means to return to the heart and activate your soul powerThe one question to ask yourself daily to find out whether you're operating from love or controlReady to experience this transformation live with Danny?

The Universe is opening a doorway into a new chapter of consciousness as a rare planetary alliance begins to unfold. This week, a New Moon in Cancer invites us to plant seeds for the future while we are held within the extraordinary energy of Andre Barbault's planetary basket — a once-in-centuries connection between the outer planets and Jupiter. Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto come together in a powerful cosmic arrangement, creating a conversation between expansion, awakening, imagination, and transformation. As Venus and the Moon join this celestial gathering throughout the week, we receive additional invitations to open our hearts, deepen our intuition, and listen to the wisdom being offered by this remarkable alignment. This is not simply a moment in time — it is a threshold. The coming weeks offer an opportunity to integrate new awareness, release old patterns, and begin aligning with a future that is asking to be born through us. The Universe is planting seeds, and we are invited to become conscious participants in what is blooming. Join me on this week's episode of The Golden Astrologer Podcast as we explore this extraordinary cosmic alliance and the profound evolutionary message it carries for us all.

Together, Jeremy and Brooke explore the rise of anti-Zionism, the growing normalization of Jew hatred, the importance of Torah values, the alliance between America and Israel, and why standing up for truth has never been more important.Together, Jeremy and Brooke unpack the legal, cultural, and spiritual battles shaping our generation, and what each of us can do to protect freedom, human rights, and the values that have built Western civilization

You've asked for advice. You've read the books. You've listened to the podcasts. You've taken the courses. You've sought guidance from people you trust. But at some point, a question begins to emerge: Can I still hear myself beneath all the noise? Many of us spend years looking outside ourselves for answers. We learn to trust experts, authority figures, family members, partners, and even strangers before we trust our own inner knowing. Over time, it becomes harder to tell the difference between our truth and someone else's expectations. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring self-trust, intuition, conditioning, and the challenge of hearing your own voice in a world full of opinions. We talk about: -why so many women struggle to trust themselves -the difference between intuition and fear -how conditioning shapes our decisions -why seeking advice can sometimes create more confusion -reconnecting with your inner knowing -self-trust as a daily practice -community, support, and remembering your own wisdom What if the answers you've been searching for aren't outside of you? What if you've simply become disconnected from the voice that has been there all along? If you've been second-guessing yourself, feeling uncertain, or struggling to know what's true for you, this conversation is for you. Because remembering who you are begins with learning to hear yourself again. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip. Connect. Awaken. Hey! Thanks for listening!

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STEPHANIE:I want to share a special invitation with you. You may have heard that I will be releasing my first book with IVP on July 28, 2026. It's a big deal and I am so overwhelmed with God' goodness in allowing me to share such an essential message about delighting in Him as the true essential foundation for all our spiritual growth and maturing. Truly, when we delight in the Lord, He promises to give us the desires of our hearts – namely, more of Himself!So, here's the invitation. If you feel this message is indeed important, and you know people – including yourself perhaps – who need to be encouraged to awaken and cultivate their delight in God, would you consider joining my book launch team? It's a great and super easy way to share the good news of God's love for us in Christ, Jesus, our Lord.**If you're interested, please go to gospelspice.com/awakendelight and find the section about joining the launch team, or email me at contact@gospelspice.com **Together, let's encourage everyone we know with the wonderful news that, in Christ, God delights in us and invites us to delight in Him!Stephanie Rousselle and her guest Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith explore what it truly means to delight in God, moving the focus from external circumstances and religious duties to genuine intimacy and spiritual maturation. This conversation around Stephanie's new book, Awaken Delight (IVP, July 2026), calls us to a deeper, more resilient delight in God, rooted in relationship, practiced in community, and modeled perfectly by Jesus. As we will see together, delighting in God means choosing intimacy and noticing His presence, especially in hardship. It requires intentional practice, honest wrestling, and learning from Scripture. Together, we will discuss how our identity is rooted not in performance but in receiving God's boundless love. As disciples, we are called to move from spiritual infancy to mature faith, just as Jesus perfectly role-models for us.Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5J Find out more about all the ways you can awaken your delight in God: https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightHere are some notes about the conversation:Defining Delighting in GodSaundra Dalton Smith describes delighting in God as akin to the joy and pleasure we feel towards something we love—a sunset, a flower, or even a brownie. Delighting in God means taking pleasure not just in what He does, but in who He is. It is enjoying His presence, intimacy, and communion. Saundra says, “How do I allow myself to take pleasure in who he is, not what he's doing … but him specifically?”Practicing Delight Amidst Life's Highs and LowsTrue delight in God requires ongoing practice. Our human instinct focuses on obtaining and receiving, but spiritual maturity redirects our gaze to God as the source rather than the resource. Saundra shares that practicing delight in God on good days builds the muscle to notice His presence even during difficult moments, such as when children misbehave or pets get sick—recognizing God's gifts even in hardships strengthens our relationship with Him.Interpreting Hardship Through God's LensWhen challenges arise, Scripture invites us to “rejoice in suffering.” Instead of forcing joy over the hardships themselves, Saundra advises finding joy in knowing God is with us (“the fourth man in the fire”). Practicing noticing God equips us to see His goodness regardless of circumstances.Biblical Foundation and Fresh PerspectiveAnchoring in Scripture provides strength. For example, Psalm 23's phrasing “goodness and mercy shall follow me” becomes richer when understood as “pursue”—God's love relentlessly seeks us. Reading familiar passages with fresh eyes allows the Word of God to “read” us and unearth deeper truths and areas for healing.The Importance of CommunityStephanie and Saundra emphasize the necessity of authentic Christian community. Vulnerability with trusted believers helps us remember God's goodness when we struggle. Without community, isolation can make us susceptible to discouragement and lies about our worth and God's love.Identity: Receiving God's LoveThe foundational truth is, “the only thing God desires of you is you.” Our worthiness isn't dependent on accomplishments but on accepting God's love. Saundra says, “If I never did another thing other than be a recipient of his love, that's all he required.”Spiritual Maturation: Wrestling and RestThe journey toward delighting in God isn't effortless—it's a wrestling, much like Jacob's biblical encounter. Honest communication with God (“Help my unbelief”) leads to healing and new identity, reframing our lives through deeper intimacy.Countercultural Faith and Jesus as Role ModelCulture often romanticizes Christianity, but real maturity comes from moving beyond the honeymoon phase into resilient faith. Jesus exemplifies delight in the Father—through learning, obedience, miracles, and suffering. For “the joy set before him,” He endured the cross, modeling love for God and people.RESOURCESWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/gospelspice Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5J Find out more about all the ways you can awaken your delight in God: https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight DISCOVER THE BOOK BEHIND THE PODCAST | "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 isn't a poetic suggestion — it's a promise. But many believers quietly assume it doesn't really work, or it's not really possible here on earth.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle invites you to rediscover what Scripture actually means by delight — not emotional hype, not religious performance, but a steady satisfaction rooted in who God is.Delight in God isn't a mood to manufacture; it's a relationship to receive.Through biblical theology and practical rhythms, you'll learn how communion with God reshapes suffering, quiets restless striving, and anchors your identity in something unshakable.Delighting in God isn't sentimental optimism. It's deeply rooted in Christ, Jesus.It's the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own heart.Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JKind words from Jennifer Rothschild, Bible teacher, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Founder, Fresh Grounded Faith: “Stephanie helps us awaken to and experience true delight. It is a rich mix of God's delight in you and your delight in him. This is the life you were made for, the life your soul deeply longs for. So, the table is set. Pull up a chair and let your heart sit alongside Stephanie. As your delight in God wakes up and becomes fully realized, you'll find a satisfaction in Christ that makes you want more and more.”Kind words from Amanda Jenkins, Lead creator of THE CHOSEN's literary content: "I have yet to meet another person quite as eager to intimately know Jesus as Stephanie is. Her enthusiasm for the beauty found inside a thriving relationship with her Savior is downright contagious. Indeed, Stephanie's joy and faith and commitment to growth—along with her love for really good food!—will implant themselves in the hearts of readers. Lucky readers."Kind words from Os Guinness, Theologian, Social critic, Author, The Call:  "Stephanie addresses one of the greatest needs of Christians today. Knowing God is not knowing about God, but knowing Him genuinely and with desire and delight. She does so practically and helpfully, and in a style that sparkles with a verve and joy that is distinctively French."Kind words from Pippa Gumbel, Pioneer, The Alpha Course; Author, The Bible in one year with husband Nicky: "Stephanie's love of God is inspiring and infectious. Her book is an invitation to share in that delight and to come to know God in new and wonderful ways."More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JSupport us on Gospel Spice, PayPal and Venmo!

There is no shame in being thankful for one's blessings, especially as they relate to one's country of origin or residence...as long as the gratitude is grounded in an understanding that God doesn't favor any one nation over another. After all, God is God of all the nations. It's important to remember that people everywhere are God's children ... all of whom have common hopes and dreams.

Send me a Text Message!As we close this study of Nehemiah, I want to circle back to the simple, stubborn conviction that has been underneath everything: "If we're not dead, He's not done." Your story is unfinished. Our story, in our churches and neighborhoods, is unfinished. God uses holy discontent to get our attention and at this moment, He is inviting us into a season of returning, marked by repentance, prayer, fasting, and the Word. He places his gracious hand on people who own the rubble and chase him. And he writes his greatest stories in generous hearts that love people more than stuff and live like front-yard missionaries. That's what I'm praying for us.If you're listening to this podcast, you're not dead yet. And if you're not dead, God's not done!

Send me a Text Message!As we continue our review of Nehemiah, you'll hear me say, "Surrendering once is not enough. Repentance is a daily discipline." In other words, if you aren't finding time to shut down the busy and turn off the noise so that you can hear the still small voice of the Spirit of God, you're gonna drift back to the normal of sin. If you aren't joining with others in prayer; if you're not letting someone speak truth intoyour life; if our Bible is as closed as our ears...we'll drift back to Nehemiah 13. Don't drift. Don't go back to normal. Surrender forward. You have to ask yourself, "Am I going to do what I've always done, or is it time for a change?" And I'm not talking about minor tweaks. I'm talking about changes thatgo deep and disrupt the normal flow of life; changes that go deeper than sin management. I believe that if I want something different than I've ever had, I may need to do something different than I've ever done! Is it time for a change?

You've spent your life being who everyone needed you to be. The responsible one. The strong one. The caretaker. The helper. The peacemaker. The leader. The healer. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself: Who would I be without all those roles? Many of us become so identified with what we do for others that we lose touch with who we truly are. We become experts at meeting expectations, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities, while quietly disconnecting from ourselves in the process. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the roles we play, the identities we've outgrown, and what it means to remember who we are beneath the conditioning, expectations, and labels. We talk about: how roles can both support and limit us why so many women feel lost even after building a successful life the burden of always being "the strong one" what happens when an identity no longer fits the difference between who you are and what you do self-discovery, authenticity, and living your truth remembering who you are beneath the stories you've been telling yourself What if you're not lost? What if you've simply outgrown the version of yourself you've been carrying? This conversation is an invitation to get curious about who you are beneath the labels, the responsibilities, and the expectations. Because remembering who you are may be the most important journey of all. For an intensive experience of remembering your truth, join us in Florida, Oct 15-18 for our Reclaiming Your Sacred Fire Women's Retreat.

Adoption is often viewed as a happy ending, and sometimes it is! But for Thenedra, her experiences as a child in the foster care system and later as a trans-racial adoptee were — and still are — much more complicated than that.
