Today’s episode is Pt. 2 of the raw and grace-filled conversation about courage, conviction, and the power of God to help us overcome fear. Our guest, Flor, has walked a challenging yet inspiring journey—navigating same-sex attraction while choosing daily to follow Jesus in obedience to His Word.

Through fear, cultural pressure, and misunderstanding, Flor has boldly stepped out in faith to share her story. Now living in the freedom of Christ, she’s married to the man of her dreams, serves as Digital Director at Fusion Church in NY, runs her own marketing company (Najera Studios), and leads a growing TikTok community and online support group for others walking a similar path.

In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, we continue to dive deep into Flor’s personal testimony, the tension between identity and sexuality, and how the church can be a place of healing and truth. You won't want to miss this powerful testimony of transformation, obedience, and unwavering faith.

In this episode, Jo Marie Palazzo and Rachel Bonilla dive into what it means to move from comfort into courageous obedience.

Have you ever asked God to use you—but when the opportunity came, fear froze you? You’re not alone. As women, we often want all the details before we take the leap of faith. But God calls us to trust and step out anyway.

Through the story of Mary in Luke 1 and Rachel’s personal journey, we explore what real surrender looks like, how to take our thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), and how to view life through the lens of Scripture.

In ministry, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or even afraid. But we don’t walk by feelings—we walk by faith. God hasn’t called us to comfort, but to courage. He doesn’t ask us to be fearless; He asks us to trust Him. As we step into the unknown, we stand on the truth that He goes before us (Deuteronomy 31:8) and His Spirit empowers us (2 Timothy 1:7).
So even when fear whispers, “What if?”—faith declares, “God will.”
