You may not be in a setback — you might be in a showdown. If you feel like you've let life push you around long enough, you may have entered a “Showdown Season” — a time when God is calling His people to stand in faith and reveal His power in the face of impossible odds. Drawing from 1 Kings 18:19–39, Pastor Touré unpacks Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal to show how God uses tension, pressure, and uncertainty as the stage for His glory. When we stop wavering between opinions and fully trust that “the Lord, He is God,” revival breaks out. This is a word for anyone standing between fear and faith, hesitation and action. God is stripping away emotional crutches and calling His people back to confidence, conviction, and clarity. It's time to rise in boldness, because the same Spirit that answered Elijah by fire still works through you.

This week, Walk It Out Wednesday brings together Dr. Valerie Crumpton, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Oscar Williams to dive deeper into Pastor Touré Roberts' two-part message “On the Other Side of Endurance.” This powerful panel unpacks the book of Matthew and its five discourses leading up to Matthew 24. The conversation centers on Jesus' promise that if we remain steadfast in faith, we will be saved. As they discuss key themes of perspective, persistence, and perseverance, Dr. Williams reminds us that salvation is about staying under the trial and enduring until the end. Dr. Crumpton goes on to reflect on her life and how every test has shaped her, and Pastor Johnson emphasizes perception — that whenever God says “but” He's turning things around. The questions that sparked this spiritually sound discussion include: How should believers handle seasons of shaking? How do we discern between attacks meant to derail us and trials meant to shape us? What habits keep our hearts pure, so our love doesn't grow cold. Through it all, the reminder stands clear: We don't live for victory, but from victory.

What do you do when the very thing God promised you seems to die in your arms? Our founding pastor Bishop T.D. Jakes dissects 2 Kings 4:18-27, teaching us about a wealthy woman whose son — her miracle — suddenly dies. She doesn't bury him. She doesn't call a doctor. She lays him in the room of the prophet who prophesied to her womb. Bishop Jakes walks us through this powerful text. One woman's oil kept flowing as long as there were empty vessels. Another woman, who seemed to lack nothing externally, still had a hidden poverty: the absence of a child. Whether you're broke in the bank or your heart, poverty can touch any of us. But the Word of God has no limits — God only stops pouring when there's nothing left to fill. Sometimes the prophetic word carries life that even death can't cancel. This is a word that will stir your faith, confront your doubts, and remind you that God has more supply than you have need. Don't give up on what the Lord said. Your turnaround is still possible.

In this episode of The Empowering Story Podcast, I explore why anxiety and depression after sexual trauma are often intelligent survival responses—and how that reframe opens a different path to healing. You'll learn how hypervigilance, numbness, sleep disruption, and boundary difficulties can be understood as the body's loyalty, not personal failure. I share a client composite story, explain why traditional one-size-fits-all approaches can miss the body-based nature of sexual trauma, and offer simple practices you can start today. Who this is for Survivors who are ready and willing to do the work of healing, especially those who want credible, compassionate guidance that honors the nervous system and values agency. What you'll learn The core shift from “What's wrong with me?” to “What happened to me?” How sexual trauma reshapes threat detection and why that fuels anxiety and depression Why are symptoms like hypervigilance, dissociation, and fatigue protective adaptations A practical 4-step micro-experiment set: Two-Minute Check-In, Orientation, Narrative Reframe, Tiny Boundary How narrative healing + somatic practices help the body stay present while you tell your story A kinder way to measure progress: not “Do I still get anxious?” but “Do I meet it differently?” Key practices mentioned Two-Minute Check-In: What am I sensing? Is any of this from the past? What honors me right now? Orientation: Name five neutral objects; take slow exhales to signal “enough safety.” Pendulation: Touch the story briefly → return to the room → return if you choose. Gentle movement: Shoulders, stretch, shake out hands; hand-to-heart breathing. Tiny boundary: “Let me check my bandwidth and confirm in an hour.” Memorable lines “Your system isn't malfunctioning—it's over-functioning the way it learned under threat.” “Panic, numbness, and scanning can be proof of loyalty, not evidence of failure.” “Before you change the story, stay with yourself in the moment.” “Healing is possible—not quick, not linear, but possible.” Resources & next steps Free Grounding Companion – evidence-informed tools to regulate your system: theempoweringstory.com/free The Empowering Story Programs – structured narrative + somatic coaching to reclaim your voice Survivor Community – because healing deepens in community, not isolation If you need immediate help (US): RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988 Disclaimer This episode is educational and does not replace therapy, medical care, or emergency support.

What do you do when it feels like your prayers aren't breaking through? In this week's Walk It Out Wednesday, Sarah Jakes Roberts revisits her message “Break the Barrier” and goes deeper into what true repentance looks like in our everyday lives. She unpacks the barriers that block our sound — shame, pride, ignoring conviction, clinging to old identities — and shows us how humility positions us for revival. Through practical teaching and real questions like “How do I move forward from shame?” and “What do I do when I feel stagnant?” we learn that God never disowns us, even in our failures, and His Spirit gives us the power to release a sound that heaven cannot ignore. Touré Roberts then adds a powerful reflection on the Feasts of the Lord and how their prophetic meaning points us back to Christ. Together, we closed our churchwide fast with communion — a reminder that this is a season for alignment, renewal, and fresh encounter with God. Don't miss this intimate and timely conversation.

Andre and I discuss personal experiences with prayer, the transition from Catholic prayers to a more personal connection with God, and the importance of gratitude in prayer. The conversation delves into overcoming anxiety related to prayer, understanding spiritual warfare, and the process of building a relationship with God through communication.

What do we do when life's pain silences us and chokes our praise?In “Break the Barrier,” Sarah Jakes Roberts challenges us to push back against darkness by releasing the sound heaven cannot ignore.In 2 Chronicles 7, we see how God responds when His people humble themselves, pray, and lift their voices. The Holy Spirit helps us interpret what we're exposed to, cut through the noise, and declare God's truth with power.But too often, barriers like fear, pride, and shame hold us back. We forget that we're still God's people, called by His name even when we fall short. With emotional transparency, SJR reminds us: It's not about perfection — it's about repentance and faith that speaks.Your praise is more than words — it's a wave that breaks through heaviness, strengthens others, and reaches the heart of God.

On Celebration Sunday and the first day of our 10-Day Corporate Fast, Pastor Touré Roberts brings a powerful word from Proverbs 13:12 on “The Power to Change.” Scripture reminds us that “hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.”This message calls us to recognize that every anointed person is carrying something — and to step into breakthrough, we must make room for what God wants to do. As we begin our fast, we must know that fasting isn't just about sacrifice, but about capacity, alignment, and stewarding our resources for the season ahead. Pastor Touré reminds us that the tension of delay and disappointment is not wasted — it's the very space where God develops us, positions us, and prepares us for transformation. When we keep our hearts healthy, pain becomes the launching pad for abundance.
