Welcome to Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, where we renew our minds with God's Word, step into truth, and live the life God created us to live.

Have you ever wondered where God is when life doesn't go the way you planned?

In this episode, we walk verse by verse through the Book of Ruth and discover how God was working behind the scenes during seasons of grief, loss, uncertainty, and waiting. Ruth's story reminds us that our present circumstances are not the end of our story. God is always at work, even when we cannot see it.

In this Bible study, you'll learn:

How God brings redemption out of heartbreak
What Ruth's faithfulness teaches us about obedience
Why Boaz is a beautiful picture of Jesus, our Kinsman Redeemer
How God directs our steps even when we only see the next one
Why your obedience today may be part of a much bigger plan than you can imagine
Encouragement for seasons of waiting, loss, grief, and uncertainty
Scripture-based declarations to strengthen your faith

We also explore:
📖 Ruth and Naomi's relationship
📖 Boaz and Ruth's love story
📖 The meaning of the Kinsman Redeemer
📖 Ruth's place in the genealogy of King David and Jesus Christ
📖 Biblical lessons on faith, trust, and God's provision

Remember: God is still writing your story. Keep trusting Him, keep obeying Him, and keep taking the next faithful step.

Welcome back to Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis!

In this episode, we're diving into one of the most powerful chapters in Scripture regarding God's blessings for His people: Deuteronomy 28. Together we'll explore God's heart toward His children, why He gives us instructions to follow, what biblical prosperity really means, and how these promises apply to believers today.

We'll discuss:

✅ The historical context of Deuteronomy and Moses' final message to Israel
✅ The blessings found in Deuteronomy 28
✅ Why God's commands are acts of love, not religious burdens
✅ What biblical prosperity really means
✅ Examples of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, and Solomon
✅ The principle of sowing and reaping
✅ God's desire for His children to walk in peace, provision, wisdom, and purpose
✅ How to renew your mind and align your life with God's promises

One of the key truths from this episode is that God's instructions are not meant to restrict us—they are meant to guide us into the abundant life He desires for us. As Jesus said:

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10)

In this powerful episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, my guest Sally shares her incredible testimony of walking through a life-threatening battle with COVID pneumonia — and how Jesus showed up when she was at death’s door.

Sally shares how she was alone in the hospital, fighting for her life, listening to worship music, praying, and trusting God when everything looked impossible. In the middle of that battle, she had a powerful encounter with Jesus that changed her life forever.

This conversation is a reminder that Jesus is near in the darkest valleys, that worship is powerful, and that as believers, we have been given authority in the name of Jesus.

We talk about:

• Sally’s testimony of being born with a cleft lip and palate
• Walking through rejection, insecurity, and many surgeries
• Her battle with COVID pneumonia
• The moment Jesus showed up in her hospital room
• Taking authority over the enemy in Jesus’ name
• The power of worship during spiritual battles
• Why believers need to know the Word of God
• How God uses our hardest seasons to minister to others

Jesus said in Luke 10:19:
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

If you are walking through fear, sickness, grief, or a battle that feels impossible, I pray this episode reminds you that God is with you, Jesus still heals, and the enemy does not get the final word.

Welcome back to Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis. ❤️
Today we start by putting on the Full Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–20) and then we walk through the powerful life of King David—from overlooked shepherd boy to anointed king.

David’s story shows us that:
✅ God has a plan for your life before you were even born
✅ Spiritual warfare is real—this isn’t a battle against people
✅ Even when we make mistakes, God can redeem, restore, and still use us

We’ll talk about David’s calling, his victories, the consequences of poor choices, and the hope of repentance and redemption—because God doesn’t define you by your worst moment. He calls you forward.

📖 Scriptures mentioned:
Ephesians 6:10–20 • Romans 8:28 • (David’s story in 1 & 2 Samuel)

In today’s episode of Take Back Your Authority, we’re walking through Exodus and the powerful story of Moses leading Israel out of Egypt—including the 10 plagues, the meaning of Passover, and the miracle of the Red Sea crossing. We also finish with a simple, practical reminder: God gave us the Ten Commandments to keep life clear, grounded, and aligned with Him.

We also talk about how God often leads us step-by-step (Psalm 119:105), why things can get harder before they get better, and how to respond to fear with faith—because the Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still (Exodus 14:14).

🙏 In this episode:

Moses’ calling and God’s “step-by-step” guidance

Pharaoh’s hardened heart and the 10 plagues

Passover and the power of the blood (a foreshadowing of Jesus)

The Red Sea miracle and what it teaches us about fear vs. faith

The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) and keeping life simple

Daily spiritual strength: Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–17)

Daniel’s story is not just about lions… it’s about identity, obedience, and unwavering faith in a world that tries to change who you are.

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority, we walk through Daniel chapters 1, 2, and 6 and uncover the powerful pattern behind Daniel’s life:

✔ Chapter 1 – Resolve your identity
✔ Chapter 2 – Hear from God clearly
✔ Chapter 6 – Stay faithful under pressure

Daniel was taken from his home, placed in a foreign culture, and pressured to conform—but he never lost who he was in God. Because of that, he walked in authority, wisdom, and favor everywhere he went.

This message will help you:
✨ Stand firm when culture pressures you
✨ Hear God’s voice with clarity
✨ Stay faithful—even when it’s hard
✨ Take back your God-given authority

Key takeaway:
👉 Authority is not given by the world—it’s revealed through your identity, your choices, and your relationship with God.

If you’ve ever felt like life has tried to rename you, this message is for you.

📖 Scriptures: Daniel 1, 2, 6 | Ephesians 6:10–18

n this powerful and hope-filled episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, I sit down with my friend Edna Castillo, Healing Mindset™ Coach, speaker, and best-selling author of Living Your Intuitive Genius™.

Edna is the founder of RealityDreams® Life Coaching and creator of the CALM The Chaos of Cancer Method™, a holistic framework that helps individuals navigating cancer transform stress into strength by regulating the nervous system, managing fear and uncertainty, building resilience, and becoming powerful participants in their own healing journey alongside their medical care.

In this conversation, Edna shares her own journey through breast cancer and how it led her to help others move from overwhelm into clarity, peace, and strength. We talk about why a healing mindset is not toxic positivity, how fear affects the body, how to calm the nervous system, how to trust your body again, and why reclaiming agency is so important during a cancer journey.

We also talk about faith, mindset, medical care, gratitude, vision, intuition, and learning how to stay present even in uncertain seasons.

If you or someone you love is walking through cancer, illness, fear, or uncertainty, this episode will remind you that you are not powerless. You can breathe, pause, pray, ask questions, support your body, renew your mind, and take back your authority one step at a time.

Do you know you were made for more… but fear keeps you playing small?

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority, Heather Bulthuis sits down with Katherine Norland (actress + faith-based coach) to talk about worth, identity in Christ, and the “God-fidence” you need to stop sabotaging your calling and finally live your purpose.

In this conversation, we cover:
• The difference between confidence, competence, and “God-fidence”
• Why people sabotage their dreams (and how the enemy keeps you stuck)
• The truth about worth vs. “deserving” (and why worth isn’t performance-based)
• A powerful story about asking for what you’re worth (and what happened next)
• Encouragement for hard seasons—including a NICU journey—and how to “spiral up,” not down
• One daily habit to build confidence over time: saying yes to yourself (and your God-given gifts)
