A new episode of the I AM HER Podcast is out—and it hits deep. How can God pour into our lives if there's no room to receive?
In this powerful conversation, Pastor Lisa and Bekah walk through what it truly means to make room by decluttering not just our physical spaces, but also our mental load, spiritual distractions, and overcrowded calendars. This episode is for the woman who feels stretched thin, overwhelmed, or ready for a fresh start.
Together, they unpack fasting, accountability, planning, and intentional living, challenging listeners to release what no longer serves them so God can bring new growth and new blessings. If you're stepping into this new year expecting transformation, it begins with letting go.
Their prayer is that every listener enters the new year lighter, focused, convicted, and inspired—fully aligned and ready to receive everything God has prepared.
