April 23, 2024 Personal Convictions on Unforgiveness, Way of Doing Ministry and Not Manipulating the Hand of God
In this new (long awaited) episode I am getting into the condition, the soil of the heart. What has been so evident for me going to bible study is that God cares A LOT about our heart posture, for all things flow from the heart (Proverbs 4:23). My recent fast, time spent with the Lord and in teachings has brought things to light that God needed me to see in my own heart and ways, that is not aligned with His ways. It’s essential to continue to evaluate our true motives, intentions, emotions behind the things that we do “for” God. Unforgiveness and bitterness as an example (in this episode) can and will contaminate the soil of our hearts. I am looking to Jesus to grow in ministry and build this podcast platform. This episode marks a new season for Esther Rising. My hope is that the Holy Spirit will reveal things in your heart as you listen and that you receive His leading, encouragement and correction.

Scriptures mentioned: Mark 7:20-24, Proverbs 4:23

September 18, 2023 God Can Heal Your Trauma
This episode is a bit of a summary of God’s work throughout the last three years and a testimony to God’s trauma healing power. My birthday always sparks reflection, I am truly grateful for God taking me from where I was to where I am today. I am sharing a very recent testimony, God delivered me from the most abusive relationship I’ve been in in my life. God’s healing power is eradicating the hurt in my soul that has accumulated over the last 33 years. I am in awe of my soul’s transformation, everything I was practicing in the new age occult, to heal in my own strength back then, can’t compare to the healing by Gods power. The healing I am experiencing today.

Scriptures mentioned: John 17:15-16, Revelation 21:1-4, Psalm 34:18 (honestly read the entire chapter if you need encouragement)

June 18, 2023 The Reversal of Roe v. Wade
The enemy is threatened by the wombs of women, women are life givers not takers. This episode is not about shaming any woman that has had an abortion. Jesus said “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” After experiencing God's mercy and healing, I can’t imagine ever having another abortion. Every baby that has ever been conceived was known by our Heavenly Father. God spoke these babies into existence and by aborting God’s dream, we abort God’s glory to be manifested in the earth.

Scriptures mentioned: Esther 4:14, Jeremiah 1:5, Romans 5:8, Romans 8:1-2

March 31, 2023 God is Convicting Me to Step Out of Culture and adapt Kingdom Character
Dropping a first Esther Rising episode of 2023 God has convicted me personally to change and clean up my spotify playlists, my instagram, my wardrobe and dress code. In the same way He is calling me to come out of agreement with darkness, as a wise follower of Christ I need to be aware that there are spiritual realities at play that I need to protect my heart from. In this episode I am speaking on Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ and ‘Renaissance’ album, as well as ‘Black is King’. Discussing her posing as the Yoruba goddess Oshun, the obvious elements of witchcraft and idolatry in her ‘art’ and what is really behind these false deities. Other topics in this episode: birth story and motherhood testimony, pregnancy and labour prayers that worked, what walking with Jesus looks like one year after my baptism, what it means to be in Christ and counter-culture.

Scriptures mentioned: Psalms 139:10, Proverbs 16:9, 1 John 4, Ephesians 5:11, 1 Cor. 10:21, 1 John 2:15, 1 Timothy 2:4, Hosea 4:6, 1 corinthians 12:8- 10, John 8:32, Proverbs 9:10, Proverbs 3:7, 2 Corinthians 6:14, 16-17, 1 Samuel 15:23, Jeremiah 16:20, Deuteronomy 32:17, Psalm 106:37, Deuteronomy 6:5

October 31, 2022 The Halloween Edit - Stop Practicing Astral Projection, My Thoughts on Disney’s New Kids Cartoon called “Little Demon” + Why I Stopped Visiting Psychics and Will No Longer Celebrate Halloween
With this episode I am wrapping up my personal new age to Jesus testimony, covering topics like sleep paralysis, the occult practice of astral projection, light language as the counterfeit of the gift of tongues, smudging, astrology, crystals, channeling, why I stopped listening to almost 30 podcast, watching horror movies and consulting intuitives + will no longer celebrate halloween. Culturally we need to stop chasing and lusting after spiritual power and start chasing after the heart of God. If you’re transitioning out of new age I am sharing things that were helpful for me in this episode as well.

Scriptures mentioned: Philippians 2:9-11, Micah 5:11-12, Leviticus 19:31, Deuteronomy 18:9-12, Ephesians 4:26-27, Philippians 4:8, Acts 19:18-19, 2 Thessalonians 3:3, 1 Corinthians 10:21

September 28, 2022 It’s Not a Coincidence that People’s New Age Journeys are Coming to a Close with the End of the Pandemic with Daryl Tabora
Having a conversation with Daryl Tabora, who was raised catholic and like so many started her new age spirituality journey during lockdown. She studied reiki, theta healing and became reliant on mushrooms in order to make life decisions and looking for answers. She was continuously trying new new age modalities seeking truth, but found herself stressed depressed, anxious and tired. She was unable to sleep at night, hearing her name being called. During the peak of her psychedelic journey she watched my YouTube new age to Jesus testimony. When watching the video she first felt triggered and offended, because she knew she was on the way of getting lost in new age. We chat about my naive witchcraft rituals I performed in the past, shame and guilt coming out of new age, how to navigate conversations with friends that are still in new age, soul winning in the marketplace and how Christ sustains us in a way that new age never could.

Scriptures mentioned: 1 John 4:1-3, 2 Corinthians 5:17, John 8:12

September 19, 2022 Encouragement for Those Walking Through the Wilderness
When we give our life to Christ, life doesn’t suddenly become this blissful thing without any trials and challenges, but God is present in our pain, He redeems our pain for our good and we are able to trade our burdens for His peace. I hope this episode encourages those that are going through big changes and changing seasons in their life, that have worry about the future, that might feel anxious, that are dealing with fears, and helps the ones that are working on mindset, and feeling worthy.

Scriptures mentioned: Romans 8:28, Matthew 11:29-30, 1 Peter 5:7,9-11, Psalms 55:22, Psalms 119:105, Deuteronomy 1:6, Colossians 3:2
