In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of The Prodigal Daughter Podcast, Nicole unpacks one of the most misunderstood figures and words in all of Scripture — Lucifer. What began as a poetic description of the “morning star” in the book of Isaiah became, through translation and time, the very name we now associate with the enemy of God. But the truth runs much deeper than tradition or fear.

Nicole takes listeners on a journey through Scripture and history, revealing the original Hebrew word Helel — meaning “shining one” — and its transformation into the Latin Lucifer, or “light-bearer.” With warmth, clarity, and Spirit-led teaching, she explores how this shift in language mirrors a much greater spiritual reality: the tragedy of pride that turns reflection into rebellion.

This episode isn’t about giving darkness a platform; it’s about exposing pride for what it truly is — the quiet, seductive turning of the heart away from the Source of Light. Through a deep study of Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28, and Luke 10:18 (NKJV), Nicole reveals that Lucifer’s fall wasn’t only the story of an angel — it’s a warning to every heart that dares to shine without surrender.
