Join Covenant Eyes host Karen Potter as she welcomes special guest Yamilexis Fernandez for a powerful "Voices of Victory" episode.  Yamilexis shares her unbelievable story of overcoming a unique and challenging past, including breaking generational curses of witchcraft, abuse, and pornography addiction. In this episode, Yami offers advice for those feeling desperate and alone, emphasizing the importance of continually showing up, forgiving yourself, and recognizing that God doesn't remember confessed sins.  She beautifully unpacks the relationship between God's grace and accountability, explaining how grace super abounds beyond all sin, and how our love for God motivates obedience. Yami also provides powerful insights for young women battling comparison and the negative impacts of social media.  Drawing from Scripture, she highlights that comparison is rooted in a misunderstanding of God and self, and encourages listeners to focus on their own actions and identity in Christ.  She also calls on older Christian women to be vulnerable and share their stories to minister to younger generations who are craving authentic connection. This episode is a testament to God's transformative power, reminding us that even through the hardest trials, there is light, hope, and healing available.

Hey Friend, If you've been dealing with constant worry, dread that sneaks in at night, or an unease that lingers no matter how much you pray or push through… this episode is for you. In today's summer throwback, I'm opening up about my own journey with anxiety—and why I used to think I just needed to “be stronger.” But the truth? Anxiety is often your body's way of sounding the alarm. And pushing through it can actually make it worse. You'll learn: Why high-achieving women are especially prone to anxiety What stress, hormones, and gut health have to do with it Simple ways to calm your body today (that take less than 5 minutes) This isn't fluff. It's science-backed and Biblically grounded encouragement that could change how you understand your own symptoms.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis reflect on Psalm 120, the first of the Psalms of Ascent. They explore how this cry for rescue from lies and conflict becomes a model of trust in God's faithfulness. As the psalmist laments the struggle to live among those who hate peace, Sally and Curtis share personal insights on surrendering burdens to God, trusting Him to handle deceit and injustice, and finding lasting peace in His presence. With encouragement from Philippians 4, they remind us that true peace is not found in the absence of trouble but in continual prayer and deep reliance on God's steadfast love.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of Faith Talks, Anna Faith Gillmore sits down with Christine Rokoduru, a pastor's wife in Fiji whose testimony shines with surrendered faith and steadfast service. From her dramatic salvation and bold decision to remain in Fiji rather than move to the U.S., to becoming a pastor's wife at just 18 years old, Christine's story is a compelling portrait of a woman fully yielded to the call of God. Her wisdom, humility, and joy in serving the Lord will challenge and encourage you to trust Him with every step of your journey.Topics DiscussedChristine's clear and powerful salvation testimonySaying "no" to the opportunity to move to AmericaHow she began praying for her future husband at 16God's answer in bringing her together with MalachiBecoming a pastor's wife at 18 and growing through ministry trialsFears from childhood and ministry—and the Scriptures that anchored herEncouragement for young women preparing to serve the LordHer life verses: Proverbs 3:5–6 and Psalm 37:4Key TakeawaysGod's call is not always to go—but to stay, and obedience brings peace.A simple prayer of faith can shape a lifetime of blessing.Ministry isn't easy, but it's worth it when your focus stays on Christ.Trust and surrender are not one-time acts, but daily choices.Your background doesn't determine your future—God does.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation podcast designed to help young ladies discover greater ways to nurture and exercise their faith in their day-to-day walk with Christ.

I'd love to hear from you. Send me a text! :)You Prayed. You waited for it. And you're finally living what you prayed for, only to feel like everything's coming against you.Instead of peace, instead of joy, you're feeling attacked.If you're wondering why resistance is showing up after your breakthrough… it's because the enemy attacks when you start making an impact for the Kingdom.In today's episode, I'm talking about the spiritual warfare that can show up after you begin to live the dream you prayed for and how to stay rooted in faith when the enemy attacks and tries to mess with what God has blessed.Stay tuned because when the enemy attacks your dream, it's not a sign that you're off track. It's often confirmation that you're right where God wants you.

For the next several episodes we are going to be jumping into a series on how to REVIVE your life and business through facing the spiritual forces that we come against as believers. Scripture is FULL of references to unclean spirits and we are given insight on how to effectively battle these forces, but in today's modern culture we have all but forgotten the importance of standing strong in the Lord so He can fight these forces on our behalf. If you feel like you are facing opposition, discouragement, doubt, an unnatural amount of struggle, insecurity, or attacks in your business, then there is a spiritual force at play. While we do business in the natural, if we are believers, we are fighting spiritual battles in the heavenlies in all we do. In order to see breakthrough in the natural, we must first learn how to overcome in the Spiritual realms. This series is designed to help you do just that. So please come and join me in this first episode as we discover what are spiritual battles and how we are to face them so we can see greater success in all areas of life and business.

If you think of Bathsheba's story, it's so twisted, yet God brought good from it for her. In all my years of hearing this story, I've only ever heard Bathsheba painted in a bad light as a seductress. Let's break down Scripture to see what God really says about her, and not add our own cultural traditions to wrongfully judge this woman. This study is so powerful for today in the church. If you have your own crimes against you and were judged wrongfully, you are not alone. God sees you, and He loves you. I hope this story also encourages your heart to have compassion on so many have faced deep hurts. Let's treat women differently, how God sees them.

Ever wish there were an easy way to feel more sane and less frazzled and overwhelmed?  Today's episode will deliver a simple but super effective tool you can use to get more centered and feel more powerful in your life when things feel too heavy.   Could you use some extra connection, emotional support, and mindset help?  Consider joining other Mental Health for Christian Women podcast listeners in our SHINE community.  Learn more by CLICKING HERE.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally explore Isaiah 8:11–22, a powerful passage calling God's people to resist fear and trust wholly in the Lord. In a time of national panic and looming invasion, Isaiah is instructed not to think like the fearful crowd but to honor the Lord as holy and sovereign. Curtis and Sally reflect on the relevance of this message today, urging listeners to reject fear-driven mindsets and instead embrace faith, reverence, and obedience. The conversation highlights the danger of seeking guidance from the dead, the spiritually dead, worldly sources and the importance of clinging to God's word in times of darkness. Even as Isaiah foretells stumbling and judgment, there is a promise shining through: the hope of the coming Messiah. Jesus, the light of the world, calls us out of darkness and into life. Join us as we discuss the challenge of keeping God holy in our lives, trusting Him above all else, and living with confident hope in His promises.

Are you afraid of making the wrong decision and messing up God's plan for your life? Maybe you've been stuck in analysis paralysis, overthinking every option because you just want to be obedient—but you're terrified of choosing “wrong.” Friend, I've been there. In this episode, we're having a real conversation about God's will, decision-making, and how to move forward in faith—without the fear, pressure, and second-guessing. You'll learn how to test and discern God's will (yep, that's biblical!), why obedience matters more than perfection, and the truth about how God lovingly course-corrects when needed. If you're facing a big decision and want peace, clarity, and confidence as you move forward—this one's for you.

Hey Friend, Have you ever woken up more tired than when you went to bed? I've been there too—dragging myself through the day, wondering if this kind of fatigue was just my “new normal.” But what I've learned (and what I share in this week's podcast episode) is that chronic fatigue isn't just about being tired... it's your body crying out for help.

Need Prayer? Please Send Your Prayer Request To @chosenbyjesuscbj on Instagram! So, what does God say about being perfect? Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try-it's never enough? That your life, your faith, or even your calling has to look perfect before it really counts? Perfectionism is one of the enemy's most subtle traps, especially for high-achieving, faith filled people. It disguises itself as excellence or high standards, but it's really fear in a fancy outfit: fear of not doing enough or being seen as flawed. In this episode today, Kelley and Taylor are exposing the spiritual lie of perfectionism and uncover what the Bible actually says about being perfect-and it's not what you think. Scriptures are from: Matthew 5:48 2 Corinthians 12:9 Galatians 3:3 Ecclesiastes 11:4 Dive in and let God break the cycle of perfectionism in your life! CONNECT WITH KELLEY & TAYLOR!

In this final stanza of Psalm 119 (verses 169–176), Curtis and Sally reflect on the psalmist's heartfelt plea for God's help, discernment, and rescue. They explore the tension between waiting on God's promises and the reality of suffering, highlighting how prayer and praise can emerge even in the hardest circumstances. Drawing parallels to Job's endurance and Jesus' parable of the lost sheep, they emphasize that God hears, sees, and seeks us—especially when we feel most lost.

Have you ever felt intimidated by theological conversations? Today, we talked to Dr. Amy Brown Hughes about the role of dialogue in generating theology in the early church. Famous theologians like Methodius, Gregory of Nyssa and Augustine published conversations with others, including prominent women in their lives, such as Thecla, Macrina and Monica. Amy argues that theology was not an elite genre or closed discussion then – nor should it be so today! She thoughtfully engages with many issues surrounding our engagement with God and invites us to enter into theology as a hospitable conversation. We'd encourage you to listen and discover aspects of the patristic period that may surprise and challenge your preconceptions – and then come join the dialogue in the classroom from July 14-18 at Regent.BioDr. Amy Brown Hughes is an Associate Professor of Theology at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts. She earned her Ph.D. in historical theology with an emphasis in early Christianity from Wheaton College in 2013. Dr. Hughes specializes in early Christianity, focusing on Trinitarian and Christological thought, theological anthropology, and the role of women in early Christian history. She co-authored the book Christian Women in the Patristic World with Lynn H. Cohick. We're excited that Amy will be joining us at Regent from July 14-18 to teach a class on Theology as Dialogue in Early Christianity. Summer Listener SurveyPlease fill out our Listener Survey before the end of July for the opportunity to win a $100 Regent College Bookstore Gift Card.Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.

 Few 19th century Protestant missionaries arriving in China realized that Christianity had first come to China over a thousand years before they had. Even fewer realized how much they had to learn. Not just the language-and that would prove hard enough-but thousands of years of culture. They wanted to change the world. Most missionaries arrived with a racial bias and assumed that Western culture was superior to Chinese.  But they had a lot to learn and would find that if they would succeed in their conversion mission, they needed to adapt their methods.   In this episode, we explore the largely unknown legacy of the Bible Women—Chinese Christian women of the 19th and early 20th centuries who served as Bible teachers, caregivers, and evangelists. These women went where foreign male missionaries could not: into the inner lives and homes of Chinese women.  This is Part 2 of a two-part series on Christian Women in China.  Explore More Article | Olga Oss - Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists (written by our own Heidi Olson Campbell!) - https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/article?id=FJEY  Article | Lucy Andrus  - Encyclopedia of Seventh-day Adventists - https://encyclopedia.adventist.org/article?id=H8A1

In this episode, Curtis and Sally explore Isaiah 8:1-10, where God commands Isaiah to name his son Maher-shalal-hash-baz—a prophetic sign of the swift Assyrian invasion. They discuss how Judah's rejection of God's gentle provision in favor of Assyrian protection leads to devastating consequences. Yet even amid judgment, God's presence remains. Through imagery of floods and promises of divine vindication, the hosts reflect on the tension between God's discipline and love, and the dangers of trusting worldly power over God's steady care.

Stop fearing the PAIN involved in your transformation. I hope this episode blesses you!

How are your nutrition habits? (Day in, day out.) Are you specifically working towards fueling up to boost your energy and reduce your brain fog?  Food is powerful. If you've been part of my TW community, you've heard me say that food can be medicine or poison.  It's THAT powerful.  I didn't say that but Hippocrates, the father of nutrition, did.  But I can assure you it is 1000% TRUE.  I saw it with my daughter's illness that conventional medicine flat out denied.... (then proceeded for 3 long years to medicate her, test her and then ultimately, with NO answers, tell me it was in her head.)  BUT FOOD HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHY SHE WAS SO SICK. Food can either be medicine and bring health to the body OR it can be poison and bring sickness to the body.  I'm happy to share six sustainable lifestyle shifts that start in your kitchen. These are practical, doable changes designed to fight fatigue and brain fog, so you can shine (and heal) from the inside out….  Your nutritional habits really make a difference in how your body feels and responds.  Summer is here… with that comes indulgences. And many times that leads to not so happy side effects. More brain fog. More tiredness. More bloating. More headaches. More... Don't worry, we're not gonna talk about eating less but eating right to nourish your body and soul. So grab a glass of lemon water, cozy up, and let's dive into these nutrition & lifestyle habits that you can begin to implement right now. These nutrition and lifestyle habits are doable and sustainable to help you boost your energy and beat that annoying brain fog.   I pray this blesses you and moves you to action today!

In this deeply moving episode, Tanya sits down with Brittany Poppe — Christian Abortion Recovery Leader, pro-life speaker, and host of the Abortion Recovery for Christian Women podcast — to talk about the hidden emotional weight that keeps many high-capacity women stuck: unhealed shame. Brittany shares her personal story of abortion and the years of silent suffering that followed. Together, they explore how unresolved guilt can drive people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overachieving — all in an attempt to outrun pain from the past. Whether you've experienced abortion or simply wrestle with shame from any decision in your story, this episode offers hope, truth, and a redemptive path forward. This is not just a conversation about abortion — it's a conversation about grace, truth, and reclaiming the life God still wants to give you.

Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community.  We're re-releasing one of our most popular episodes—Episode 13: Did Jesus Drink Wine? With Pastor David—because some truths are worth hearing twice. Or ten times. This episode gets to the heart of a phrase many of us used to justify the habit: “But Jesus drank wine.” It's not just the name of our podcast—it was a story that kept us stuck in a nightly-ish drinking cycle. So today, join us in the studio as they welcome a very special guest: Meade's pastor, David Walters, who joins us as our resident biblical scholar to tackle the burning question: Did Jesus really drink wine—and does it matter? David bravely and graciously unpacks this question and so many more, including: What does Scripture actually say about wine and drinking? What does it mean to “take our thoughts captive”? Why is the heart mentioned over 800 times in the Bible—and what does that have to do with the lies we believe? What are false idols, and how do they relate to alcohol or anything else we turn to for comfort? How do we uncover the deeper truth beneath the stories that keep us stuck? And yes… what do kids and CrossFit have to do with any of this? This episode is packed with spiritual depth, practical wisdom, and powerful applications for anyone on the journey to freedom—from alcohol, or anything else taking up too much space in your life. And don't miss the end of the episode—this week's “tiny TINA” might just be the most brilliant yet. Whether you're new to the pod or you've heard this one before, hit play with fresh ears. Because this might be the replay your heart needs right now. #ButJesusDrankWine #FreedomFromAlcohol #BiblicalTruth #FaithAndFreedom #TheMissingPeace #RenewYourMind #ChristianWomen #ReRelease Join our private, small-group coaching space, The Missing Peace, and get BJDW all-community access for free! https://butjesusdrankwine.com/coaching Order Christy's book now available!

In this episode, Curtis and Sally reflect on Psalm 119:161–168, the “Shin” section, which highlights the peace and stability found in loving and obeying God's Word. Despite facing harassment and chaos in a broken world, the psalmist rejoices in the truth and justice of God's commands. Curtis and Sally explore themes of trust, obedience, and love, drawing connections to Jesus' call to die to self and follow Him. They emphasize that true peace comes not from our circumstances, but from remaining in God's truth and resting in His presence.

In this episode, I'm joined by eleven dear friends who share what their time in God's Word looks like in their current season of life. You'll hear from women in different stages—homeschooling moms, empty nesters, full-time workers, caregivers, young adults—each finding simple, real-life ways to stay in the Word. Their routines may look different, but their hearts are the same: to draw near to Christ.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this special Summer Flip Series episode, I'm so excited to share a powerful and honest conversation I had on the Online Business for Christian Women podcast with my dear friend Stefanie Gass. We're diving deep into the truth behind what really creates long-term success in online business—refining your messaging, trusting your path, and giving yourself permission to fully own your genius. I open up about my journey from PR and blogging to building a multi-million dollar brand, and how messaging clarity + visibility became the foundation of it all. We also talk about the difference between content and messaging, how to make your message move people (and create sales), and why the real transformation begins when you stop trying to be someone else and start fully owning what's already inside you. Plus, I share my favorite visibility tips for landing opportunities before you feel "ready." If you're craving alignment, clarity, and a permission slip to go all in on your calling, this episode is for you! Liked this episode?
