Faith In The Flames: Transforming Trauma Into Hope and Healing

Do you know you’re a beloved daughter of the King in your head, but struggle to actually live from that identity in your heart and everyday life? In this episode, I sit down again with my dear friend Tierney Shirrell to talk about what it really looks like to release our expectations, receive God’s love, and step boldly into the call on our lives.

Tierney shares the story behind her upcoming Live Bold virtual experience, why God had her pivot from in-person to online, and how He used the word “release” to completely reframe her vision. We talk about letting go of control, surrendering timelines, and trusting that God is not limited by a physical room—He moves just as powerfully through a Zoom room as He does when we’re shoulder to shoulder.

We also dive into her Kingdom CEO framework—not CEO the way the world defines it, but Called, Empowered, and Obedient—and how this applies to women with big, God-given dreams: authors, entrepreneurs, ministry leaders, visionaries, and anyone who feels that holy nudge that “there is more.”

• Daughter before “doer”
  How shifting from “I know I’m God’s daughter” to actually receiving His fatherly, “Daddy” love changes the way we show up, lead, and love others.

• Release as a pathway to power
  Letting go of expectations, disappointments, fear, perfectionism, and hustle so we can receive the power of the Holy Spirit and release Heaven’s impact into our communities, clients, and homes.

• From inspiration to integration
  Why so many conference notebooks end up on a shelf—and how Tierney is designing the Live Bold virtual experience to move you from information, to revelation, to real-life implementation in your body, soul, and spirit.

In this conversation, we talk about practical ways to meet with God that fit your actual life (and wiring), how conviction from the Holy Spirit is always an invitation—not shame—and why obedience often looks like stepping out while your knees are still shaking. Tierney reminds us that there are people praying right now for what God has placed inside of you—a book, a podcast, a ministry, a business, or a message—and your “yes” matters more than you know.

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel encouraged to get in the room, even if it’s a virtual one, to be stretched, supported, and surrounded by women who are running after God’s heart and His assignments—with you.

If your spirit is stirring and you know God is calling you higher, come join us for the Live Bold virtual experience and take the next step in walking out your Kingdom CEO identity.

Get ready for a heartwarming and hope-filled episode as I sit down with the incredible Jan Touchberry! Together, we unwrap the embers of past struggles and spark fresh conversations about faith, worth, and the power of community. Jan’s story shines as she reveals her journey of adoption, the lessons learned through “flame moments,” and the ways God transformed her worries into worship. This episode is for anyone seeking healing, courage, and a reminder that you are created for a purpose.

Jan invites us to peel back the layers, lay down our burdens, and embrace the truth of our identity—no matter the whispers that tell us otherwise.

• Jan’s adoption journey and reconnecting with her birth mother: discovering faith and identity through life’s biggest questions.

• Confronting perfectionism and self-worth: tracing these struggles to their roots and learning to silence the lies with God’s truth.
• Building sisterhood beyond borders: launching a new online Bible study to help women stop, listen, and lean into God together.

In this inspiring episode, Jan Touchberry’s story reminds us that even the hottest flames can refine us, not define us. We chat about the power of embracing who you are, letting go of perfectionism, and finding community right where you are (even via Zoom, in the middle of a busy week!). If you’ve ever wrestled with your worth or wondered how God can use your story, pour a cup of coffee and join us—you’ll leave encouraged, uplifted, and ready to step boldly into your own calling.
