  • Episode 27 - "My Sins Also Nailed Him to the Cross"

    Stories In Progress Podcast | Episode 27: My Sin Also Nailed Him to the CrossThis special Good Friday reflection (released a little late due to technical difficulties) invites you into a powerful, deeply personal journey to the cross.In this episode, I reflect on the moment Jesus was crucified between two thieves—and how stepping into the perspective of the criminal transformed my understanding of grace. As I wrote and prepared, I found myself overwhelmed with emotion, imagining the crowd, the mocking, and the unimaginable weight of that moment.What began as a creative process became something far more profound: a vivid realization that my sin also nailed Him to the cross. A truth I had always known—but experienced profoundly as I wrote.But this episode isn’t about sin—it’s about grace.It’s about the overwhelming, undeserved love of Jesus and the finished work of the cross. A reminder that it’s not about us—it’s all about Him.✨ Featuring a powerful spoken word performance by Tony Gomez from a previous episode.Take this moment to pause, reflect, and be moved by the greatest act of love in history.👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share to stay connected to the conversation.📖 Learn more about Angela’s ministry and get your copy of her book: https://www.angela-oneill.com/

  • Episode 21 - Angela O'Neill - "Am I Enough?"

    Have you ever wrestled with the question, “Am I enough?” In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Angela O’Neill explores this timeless question through one of her original spoken word pieces. Drawing from Psalm 139 and the story of the woman caught in adultery, Angela unpacks what it means to be fully known, fully loved, and fully seen by God.As she proclaims some of the powerful names of God—Jehovah Jireh (The Lord Who Provides), El Roi (The God Who Sees Me), and Elohim (The Creator God)—Angela reminds us that our true identity is not shaped by the world, circumstances, or our own doubts, but by Jesus Christ alone.This inspirational episode is both honest and hope-filled, inviting listeners to find rest and confidence in the truth that we are God’s masterpiece, created with purpose and loved beyond comprehension. Angela also guides you into a simple but transformative exercise: spending time in Psalm 139, reflecting on God’s intimate care, His detailed design, and His countless thoughts toward you.If you’ve ever questioned your worth, this episode will encourage your heart and point you back to the One who calls you enough.Remember to like, subscribe, share, and comment.
