What does it truly mean to abide in Jesus—not strive, not perform, but rest in His presence?

In this powerful and presence-filled conversation, Kiersten sits down with UK-based prophetic leader Abigayle Brown to explore the heart of God, the beauty of the New Covenant, and the call to return to first love.

Together, they unpack the difference between striving and remaining, the role of New Covenant prophets, and how intimacy with the Father transforms everything. Through personal testimony, biblical truth, and a tangible move of the Holy Spirit, this episode becomes more than a conversation—it’s an invitation.

If you’ve been feeling distracted or distant, this episode will call you back to the simplicity and power of burning with love for His presence and resting as a child of God.

• The difference between striving for God and abiding in Him
• What it means to be a New Covenant believer living from the finished work of the cross
• Why intimacy with the Father matters more than gifting or platform
• How performance and pressure can creep into ministry—and how to break free
• A powerful encounter story that reveals God as a loving Father
• The true meaning of returning to first love
• Practical ways to reconnect with God through worship and Scripture
• A prophetic invitation to step into deeper relationship and identity

• Abiding > Striving: True fruit comes from remaining in Jesus, not performing for Him.
• Identity First: Your greatest title is not what you do—it’s being a child of God.
• Presence Changes Everything: One encounter with Jesus can transform your life more than a thousand words.
• Return to First Love: Childlike wonder, passion, and devotion were never meant to fade.
• Worship is the Way Back: Fixing your eyes on Jesus realigns your heart, mind, and identity.

• John 15 – “Remain in Me, and I in you…”
• Revelation 4 – “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty…”
• Psalm 27:4 – “One thing I ask… to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord”

Where have you been striving instead of abiding?
What would it look like to simply sit with Jesus today—not to get something, but to be with Him?

What if the greatest battle you face isn’t your circumstances—but the lies you’ve believed about who you are?

In this powerful episode of Igniting Hearts, Kiersten sits down with author and speaker Melanie Cox to talk about identity, faith, and the transformative power of believing what God says about you. Melanie shares the deeply personal story behind her book You Have to Know, which began as a collection of letters and lessons she wrote for her children after receiving frightening health news.

What started as a simple journal for her five kids turned into a powerful message that has now impacted readers around the world.

Together, Kiersten and Melanie explore the spiritual battle behind the lie of “not enough,” how the enemy uses comparison and shame to keep us stuck, and why knowing the truth of God’s Word is the key to walking in freedom and purpose.

Melanie also shares raw stories from her life—from childhood hardship and infertility to parenting challenges and moments of deep surrender—revealing how God consistently redeems what feels broken.

One of the most moving moments in the episode is a story about her daughter that beautifully illustrates the heart of God as a Father who runs toward us, embraces us in our mess, and calls us perfectly loved and fully His.

This conversation will remind you that no matter what you’ve been told, you are not lacking, broken, or forgotten—you are deeply known and loved by God.

• Why the lie of “not enough” keeps so many people stuck
• How to distinguish between facts and God’s truth
• The power of gratitude to break cycles of anxiety and depression
• How shame keeps us separated from God—and how to break free
• Why faith is the currency of the Kingdom of God
• How God can redeem timelines and restore broken seasons
• How to recognize and embrace your God-given identity and purpose
  

You were intentionally created by the Master Potter, and your identity is not defined by the world’s standards—but by the One who made you.

You are beautifully and wonderfully made, and your story is not finished yet.

When life feels heavy, overwhelming, and filled with obstacles, it’s easy to fixate on what’s right in front of us—the diagnosis, the disappointment, the struggle. But what if those facts aren’t the full story?

In this powerful and hope-filled episode, Kiersten shares a timely reminder that facts and truth can coexist. While the facts of your situation may feel loud and consuming, there is a greater Truth—God’s truth—that speaks redemption, restoration, and life over every circumstance.

Through personal reflection, Scripture, and a vivid picture of “fire poppies” blooming after wildfires, this episode invites you to shift your perspective. What feels like destruction may actually be the very ground where God is preparing something beautiful to grow.

If you’ve been feeling weary, stuck, or surrounded by what looks like ashes, this message will reignite faith to see hope spring up, reminding you that God’s love is still at work—right in the middle of it all.

💡 What You’ll Take Away:

• The difference between facts vs. God’s Truth—and why it matters
• How God brings beauty from the most desolate places
• Why your current struggle may be the soil for something new to grow
• A renewed understanding of God as a faithful, present, and loving Father
• Encouragement to trust, depend on, and wait on God—even when it’s hard
  
  🌿 Key Scriptures Mentioned:

• Isaiah 61 – Beauty for ashes
• Lamentations 3 – His mercies are new every morning
  
  ❤️ Final Encouragement:

No matter what you’re facing today, the truth with a capital “T” is this: God’s love is for you. He is with you. And He is not finished. Even in the ashes… something beautiful can bloom.

What do you do when life takes an unexpected turn and you’re left waiting for answers?

In this powerful episode, Kiersten sits down with her friend Debbie to talk about walking through wilderness seasons with intention. Debbie shares the emotional story of receiving a frightening medical possibility for her one-year-old daughter and the five-month season of waiting that followed.

Instead of giving her the outcome she desperately wanted, God gave Debbie a surprising instruction from Scripture: “Celebrate in the wilderness.”

Through honest prayers, intentional worship, and radical acts of joy—Debbie learned how obedience and celebration can transform the way we walk through hardship.

Her testimony is a powerful reminder that our joy isn’t dependent on the outcome, but on the goodness of God.

If you’re walking through uncertainty, grief, or a waiting season, this episode will encourage you to lift your eyes, hold onto God’s promises, and celebrate His goodness—even before your breakthrough arrives.

In This Episode You’ll Hear

• Debbie’s powerful testimony of facing a possible diagnosis for her baby daughter
• What it means to walk through a “wilderness season”
• How God spoke through Exodus 5:1 — “Celebrate in the wilderness”
• How choosing joy can transform your family culture
• The importance of community and prayer support during difficult seasons
• How God uses the process to shape our purpose
  
  

Key Takeaways

1. Wilderness seasons are part of the journey of faith.
Even when we trust God’s character, we still have to walk through uncertainty.

2. Sometimes God gives us instruction instead of answers.
Debbie didn’t receive a promise about the outcome—she received a command to celebrate.

3. Worship shifts our perspective.
Choosing to worship in difficult moments can ignite joy and strengthen our faith.

4. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit, not a result of circumstances.
True joy comes from focusing on who God is, not what we see.

5. Community matters.
God designed us to walk through both joy and wilderness seasons with others.

Memorable Quotes

• “Through the process, there’s always a purpose.”
• “God didn’t tell me the outcome. He told me how to walk through it.”
• “Our joy doesn’t come from the outcome—it comes from the Lord.”

Have you ever trusted God with some parts of your life—but struggled to trust Him in others?

In this episode of the Igniting Hearts Podcast, Kiersten Clegg sits down with Janis Dennis for a powerful conversation about trusting God’s provision, healing past wounds, and learning to wait with faith. Janis shares her personal testimony of growing up in financial lack, facing foreclosure as an adult, and how God patiently restored her understanding of provision—not just financially, but emotionally and spiritually.

This episode explores how unresolved wounds can shape our view of God, why patience is often a season of redirection, and how true freedom comes when our heart posture aligns with trust rather than fear. Through Scripture, prayer, and honest storytelling, this conversation invites listeners to experience healing, restoration, and renewed confidence in God’s faithfulness.

Topics Covered:

• Trusting God in seasons of financial uncertainty
• Healing childhood wounds that affect faith
• Understanding God as a good Father and Provider
• The power of waiting and divine redirection
• Heart posture, tithing, and authentic worship
• Finding wholeness through God’s presence

🔑Key Takeaways:

Provision Is More Than Financial
God’s provision doesn’t stop at paying bills or meeting physical needs—He also longs to heal the hidden wounds of the heart and restore our inner world.

Waiting Is Often a Redirection
Seasons of patience are not passive; they are moments where God lovingly shifts our perspective, heals old beliefs, and invites us into deeper trust.

Heart Posture Matters More Than Performance
Whether it’s giving, serving, or worshiping, God is after authenticity and relationship—not religious obligation or people-pleasing.

What would change if you awakened your God-given intuition and partnered it with the Holy Spirit?
In this episode of Igniting Hearts Podcast, Kiersten is joined by Nanette Foster, an Intuitive Leadership Coach, Flow Specialist, and author who empowers intuitive leaders, messengers, and creators to step into their destinies by reclaiming their intuition and flowing in partnership with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

In this heartfelt conversation, Nanette Foster shares her powerful journey of stepping into freedom, creativity, and deeper connection with God. From an unexpected move to Alaska after divorce to discovering a more authentic, Spirit-led way of living, Nanette opens up about how spaciousness, healing, and surrender helped awaken her true identity and purpose.

Together, we explore what it means to “rewild” your heart — releasing rigid formulas, renewing your mind, and learning to recognize God’s voice through your unique, Spirit-led intuition. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck in autopilot or hungry to live more fully aligned with who God created you to be, this conversation will stir your faith and invite you into a wider, freer space. It is time to come alive to the way God uniquely created you, lean into His voice and step into the wide, grace-filled space He has open for you!

🔑Key Takeaways:

Learn the difference between autopilot and Spirit-led intuition
Not every inner reaction is guidance from God. Some responses come from past conditioning, fear, or subconscious shortcuts meant to keep us safe. Growth begins when we pause, ask “why,” and discern whether we’re being triggered or truly led.

Renewing your mind clears the pathway to hearing God
Healing old beliefs, rewiring thought patterns, and becoming aware of emotional and behavioral habits help keep your “intuitive river” clear. As your heart and mind are renewed, recognizing God’s voice becomes more natural and trustworthy.

God speaks through your unique design
There is no single formula for prayer, discernment, or spiritual connection. God meets each person personally—through thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, imagery, or inner knowing. Embracing how He created you opens the door to deeper relationship and confidence in His guidance.

Freedom grows when we release the need for self preservation and learn to trust
Prioritizing comfort and predictability can keep us stuck. Trusting God doesn’t remove responsibility, but it shifts our security from self-protection to oneness with Him—where true peace and direction are found.

Self-discovery can be a sacred invitation
Exploring who you are isn’t self-centered—it’s part of partnering with God. As you understand your identity and original design, you step more fully into the destiny He placed within you.

What happens when your faith is tested by chronic illness, financial collapse, and deep emotional struggle?

In this powerful episode of Igniting Hearts Podcast, Kiersten sits down with Kristina Williams—an oncology infusion and GI nurse with a deep love for Jesus—to share her testimony of walking through one of the hardest seasons of her life.

At 41, Kristina was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease during a time of intense financial stress after her husband’s business failed. While navigating role reversal in marriage, she also faced a debilitating autoimmune condition that wouldn’t respond to treatment—and later, medication-induced hepatitis.

Yet in the middle of anger, disappointment, and physical pain, Kristina made a decision: she would not own what God never gave her. 

Through persistent prayer, standing on Scripture (Psalm 103), and an encounter with Jesus, she saw her steps to healing included all things: repentance, forgiveness, wise medical care, and lifestyle changes. Kristina experienced healing—not through one single breakthrough moment, but through “all things working together for good.”

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• How resentment and un-forgiveness were impacting her physical health
• Why she refused to say “my Crohn’s disease”
• The power of choosing what you partner with—diagnosis or truth
• How God uses medicine, food, prayer, and obedience together
• What to do when anxiety hits in the middle of real-life
• How chronic illness gave her compassion and boldness to minister to patients
• Why prayer isn’t passive—and how to make it your first response
  

Kristina’s story is not about perfection. It’s about persistence. It’s about going to God again and again and again—declaring, “Your Word says…”

If you are walking through: illness, financial strain, anxiety, or strained relationships this episode will remind you:

• God is not finished with your story.
• Healing can begin from the inside out.
• Forgiveness matters.
• You don’t have to give up.
• You don’t have to own what heaven never assigned to you.
  

🔥Key Scripture Highlighted:
Psalm 103 — “Bless the Lord, O my soul… who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases…”

Powerful Reminder from Kristina:
“Anxiety is just an opportunity to go to God.”

What do you do when your prayers seem unanswered and your heart feels shattered?

In this powerful episode, Kiersten sits down with longtime friend Roxanne Matsukado— Bible teacher, writer and worshiper—for an honest conversation about reclaiming hope in the middle of heartbreak. Roxanne shares her journey navigating disappointment and loss when everything she expected fell apart.

Together, they explore what it means to walk through suffering without walking alone, how redefining identity in Christ can shift despair into strength, and why learning to say “we” instead of “me” with God changes everything. You’ll hear practical ways to build an identity anchored in Christ, learn how to recognize and respond to God’s voice. This conversation sheds light on how God’s “no” or “not yet” can ultimately bring healing and purpose for us, and glory to God.

If you’ve ever felt broken, weary, or unsure how to move forward, this conversation will remind you that God sees you, walks with you, and is faithfully putting every piece back together.

✨ A hope-filled episode for anyone navigating loss, waiting seasons, or the journey of hearing God’s voice and standing strong in their identity.

Key Takeaways:

Breakthrough came when identity shifted from “I have to do this” to “we are doing this together.”
Jesus doesn’t just walk beside you—He walks with you and in you.

Unanswered prayers don’t mean you failed or missed God.
Even in loss, delay, and suffering, He is present, purposeful, and working for good.

Knowing who you are matters—but knowing who you are in changes everything.
When emotions are shattered, anchoring your life in “we, not me” restores hope and strength.

What if the little nudges and stirring in your heart has been put there to help you better navigate uncertainty. In this episode of Igniting Hearts, Kiersten sits down with prophetic coach, speaker, and teacher Julie Richards to explore the power of God nudges—those quiet invitations from the Holy Spirit that guide us, especially during seasons of transition. Julie shares her journey from a 17-year career in public education to stepping into a different ministry space, revealing how obedience in ordinary spaces can lead to extraordinary impact.

Through stories of prayer, risk, and faithfulness within everyday moments, Julie illustrates how God’s presence transforms environments when we create space for Him. What began as simple acts of prayer and worship in hallways and classrooms became a powerful movement of intercession, community, and spiritual renewal. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are invited to see that God wastes nothing—every season, every “yes,” and every act of obedience prepares us for what’s next.

Together, Kiersten and Julie encourage listeners to lean into God’s nearness, linger in His presence, and walk with courage through open doors. This episode is a compelling reminder that favor may open the door, but courage is required to walk through it—and the adventure with God is always worth it!

✨God Nudges Are Invitations, Not Interruptions
The Holy Spirit’s nudges are gentle invitations into deeper connection and alignment with God. When we slow down, listen, and respond, we partner with Him in ways that can transform not only our own lives but the environments around us.

✨Favor Opens Doors, but Courage Walks Through Them
God’s favor creates opportunity, but it takes courage to step into the unknown. Courage is built in God’s presence—by lingering, savoring moments with Him, and trusting that He is near even when the path feels risky or unclear.

✨God Wastes Nothing—Your Obedience Prepares the Way for Others
Every act of faithfulness matters. What you steward today—your prayers, worship, and obedience—can create spiritual ground others will one day step into. Your “yes” may be the foundation for someone else’s breakthrough.
