Roar Rising

When we suffer loss, does God simply watch from heaven, knowing everything will eventually work together for good? Or is He genuinely moved by our sorrow?

Scripture reveals a God who draws near to the brokenhearted, remembers every tear, and is afflicted in the affliction of His people. Jesus wept at Lazarus's tomb even though He knew resurrection was moments away. His knowledge of the outcome did not make the present grief meaningless.

In this episode, we explore what it means for God to mourn with us, why His grief differs from human despair, and how His fatherly compassion surpasses even the love of a good earthly father. God cares about physical suffering, but His love reaches deeper than immediate comfort. He sees the soul, knows the eternal outcome, and may allow what a human father would desperately try to prevent—not because He loves less, but because His perfect love sees farther.

People are hungry to be heard. Are we willing to put everything else down and truly listen? If you find yourself distracted, struggling to stay in converstaions, be interested, follow along, then this episode is for you! In this episode, Heather explores how active listening reflects the heart of Christ, builds trust, and brings peace into our relationships, businesses, and ministries.

Discover practical ways to become fully present, hear beneath the surface, and bring that same intentional attention into prayer and relationship with the Lord.

Scriptures: James 1:19; Psalm 116:1–2.

Are you building a business, pouring into your family, and trying to stay close to God, yet feeling like you're never fully present for any of it?

So many Christian women entrepreneurs are physically in the room but mentally somewhere else. We answer emails during dinner, plan content during prayer, and wonder why our business, relationships, and faith all feel stretched thin.

And here's what we often miss: when we're not present, we get impatient. Our minds are racing ahead to the next task, so every interruption feels like a burden. Our kids' questions, a slow client response, a delay in our plans. Little things start to frustrate us, stress builds faster, and we snap at the very people we're working so hard for.

In this episode, I'm sharing why being present is one of the most powerful (and overlooked) keys to peace and growth in every area of your life. When you learn to slow down and be fully present with the Lord, it changes how you lead, how you love, and how you respond when life doesn't go as planned. Why this is becoming even more valuable as AI rises in popularity and is normalized.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why distraction is quietly costing you in business and at home
• How a scattered mind fuels impatience, stress, and frustration
• How being present builds deeper trust with your clients and audience
• The ripple effect your presence has on your marriage, children, and friendships
• How time in God's presence grows patience and peace in you from the inside out
• Simple ways to start practicing presence this week

You don't have to choose between success and the life you love. It starts with learning to be here, right now, with Him.

It is a bridge that carries readers from where they are toward the transformation God entrusted you to help them reach.

You don't have to thank God for the bad things. There are things we don't actually have to thank God for. We have been taught wrong about these things. But it really helps move the needle in our purpose and talents when we understand what to actually thank the Lord for and what that looks like.

What if the difference between staying stuck and building a multi-million dollar legacy was a single full-body decision? Leah McHenry - homeschool mom of five, musician, and founder of multiple seven-figure businesses, reveals how she turned trauma, debt, and uncertainty into a framework for bold action, stewardship, and explosive growth.

Raised in a fractured church environment and carrying the weight of early instability, Leah's path didn't start with confidence or a business plan. It started with pain, a refusal to quit, and a choice to do the hard thing long before she knew how it would work. That mindset eventually carried her from a flopped ebook to a $2.5 million course business, then into a candle brand that validated in 30 days and scaled into an eight-figure company.You'll discover:

• Why "going all in" matters more than having the perfect strategy
• How Leah used a tiny email list of superfans to launch her first profitable offer
• The validation-first method she now uses to test ideas fast and reduce risk
• Why she believes most people are wasting the most important 20% of their time
• How the parable of the talents reshaped her theology of money, stewardship, and business

Heather and Leah also break down the difference between fear of loss and true faith, why quitting too early often looks spiritual but isn't, and how to know when a pivot is wisdom instead of failure.

If you've ever felt called to build something but froze waiting for certainty, this conversation will challenge you to move, make decisions, and let momentum open the doors.

Leah also shares how she balances entrepreneurship, homeschooling, marriage, and creative seasons without pretending balance is the goal. Instead, she explains her integrated approach to time, energy, and family life, plus the practical systems that keep her focused on what actually moves the needle.This is essential listening for Christian entrepreneurs, homeschool moms, multi-passionate builders, and anyone who wants to create wealth with purpose instead of fear.

If you're ready for a sharper theology of money, a smarter approach to growth, and the courage to build what God put in your hands, this episode will light the fire.Leah is the founder of Legacy Launchpad and the host of Legacy Launch Pod, where she teaches how to build businesses from idea to seven figures using repeatable frameworks. She has also built and scaled multiple companies across music, digital products, and e-commerce, and helps others create family legacies through entrepreneurship.

What if you spent years preparing for the work God called you to do, but never reached the destination?

Would that mean you missed your calling? Would the training have been wasted? Or could God be measuring the value of your life by something entirely different?

William Borden has a testimony that will give us wisdom, understanding and encouragement to understand these valuable secrets to obedience and submission in our callings.

By the measurements we often use, his mission was left unfinished.

But was it?

In this episode, we are looking at the journey of obedience, training, and stewardship that comes before the visible result. Because when we are building a business, ministry, book, platform, or movement, it is easy to treat the present season as nothing more than a hallway leading to the place that really matters.

We keep waiting to arrive.

We wait for the audience, the income, the invitations, the influence, or the breakthrough that will finally prove our obedience was worth it. But what if God is doing something in us, through us, and around us right now that is just as important as the destination we are trying to reach?

William Borden's life forces us to confront a difficult question: If the outcome never looked the way you expected, would your obedience still have been worth it?

If your business still depends on you for every answer, decision, and result, it cannot truly multiply. In this episode, Heather reveals how to recognize an outdated business model, release control, and build leaders who can carry the mission forward.

Your book is a message you're called to steward, not just a product to sell. In this free live workshop, you'll learn three shifts that turn your book into a clear path readers follow, one that builds trust, grows income, and funds your calling with recurring revenue.
