Unstoppable. Untamed. Unhindered.
If I’m being honest, this podcast almost didn’t happen. A couple of years ago, I began to feel a pull to media ministry, and started to dream with God about what that could look like. I went away to the beach for a weekend, just me and God, in January 2022. He laid out the heart and the vision for a nonprofit organization that would support a television show and podcast. He defined who my primary audience would be - women - and provide the backbone for a television show and podcast. Little did I know at that time it would take another two years before the show I dreamed of was released to the world.
It’s been two or three years of upheaval. I’ve been stretched and refined and challenged and tempted to quit. Ministries shifted. Relationships and communities changed and ended. I weathered one of my most difficult seasons of the soul when loneliness and depression tried to overwhelm. I felt tremendous opposition to using my voice for the kingdom. My family and I worked on our Oregon house for months to transition it to a rental. Then we said goodbye to loved ones and moved all the way to Texas. My oldest daughter left home to go to university in Florida.
It’s only by the grace and goodness of God, and in the fullness of his timing, that I was able to birth something new. Something I was born for.
And it’s only just the beginning.
I believe I am just one of thousands of women who have walked through hell over the past few years, only to be rising from the ashes of what was. We’ve had all kinds of things thrown at us and all kinds of obstacles to overcome. But we have overcome, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, and it’s our time now. Time to step into the fullness of all that God created us to be and do. We have come out of the refiner’s fire with fire in our own eyes, a heart that beats for the lost, and a soul that is consumed with love for Yeshua. In spite of every attempt to silence us, our voices have emerged with strength and confidence.
God is partnering with his daughters to release a new sound on the earth. It’s the beautiful sound of his daughters speaking out with boldness and courage. God’s daughters everywhere are overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimonies. His daughters are raising their voices not only in worship but in battle cries. It’s the awe-inspiring sound of the daughters’ voices mingling with the roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah.
No longer will the daughters of God be held back, silenced, intimidated, or paralyzed. We are stepping into new levels of freedom and identity and purpose and we cannot be stopped. Our families, our communities, our nations, and our world will be changed through our prayers. Through our testimonies. Our boldness. Our love. Our freedom. And the oil of intimacy with God that we carry.
It has felt nothing short of miraculous in this season to throw off everything that hindered me (Heb. 12:1) and begin to release my sound into the world. May we all feel the wind of God at our back and the breath of God in our lungs. May we be empowered to receive and to give encouragment and breakthrough, completely unhindered!
