🎙️ The Olive Effect Unfiltered | Episode Title:

"Do I Have to Quit ____ to Follow Jesus? | Am I Truly Saved? What Does it Mean to Follow Him?"

✨ In today’s episode, we’re getting real about the quiet questions that tug at your heart when no one else is looking. Questions like... Do I have to give up this part of my life to truly follow Jesus? How do I know if I’m actually saved? What does it really mean to walk with Him every day?

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubts, confusion, or fear that you’re "too far gone," I want you to know, you’re not alone, and you’re not too messy for God's mercy. 🕊️ Together, we’ll gently unpack hard topics like sex, partying, gossip, toxic relationships, new age practices, chasing status, and the lies the enemy whispers to keep you bound.

But we won't stop there. We’ll stand on the solid rock of God's Word and expose the enemy’s lies with the beautiful, freeing truth of Scripture. 📖💖

Because following Jesus isn’t about striving for perfection, it’s about surrendering to perfect love.

You’ll also hear encouragement around what true salvation looks like, how to discern if your faith is real, and what it actually means to live a life of discipleship in a noisy world.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to take His hand and trust the One who does. 🤍

Get cozy, grab your coffee (or tea), and let’s lean into truth together, Olive.

Stay rooted, stay radiant, and keep chasing Jesus with your whole heart. 🌿✨

This episode is for the girl who feels forgotten in her heartbreak… for the woman holding back tears in the Target parking lot… for the one who loves Jesus but is still waiting for her healing. If your soul is heavy and your hallelujah feels hard to give, you’re not alone, and you’re not without hope.

Today, Susie shares from the depths of her own story, from tearful car rides to the hospital bedside of a friend gone too soon. With raw vulnerability and Spirit-filled truth, she reminds us that worship isn’t always polished or pretty. Sometimes it’s cracked, quiet, and covered in mascara. But it’s still holy. And it still reaches heaven.

We’ll talk about the myth of “put-together faith” and why your broken worship is still beautiful to God. You’ll hear about that sacred moment after heartbreak, where praise wasn’t easy, but it was real. We’ll open the Word together and sit with verses that promise God is near to the crushed in spirit, and that He records every single tear.

You don’t have to wait until you “feel strong” to lift your hands, sometimes showing up empty is the offering. And sometimes, your hardest hallelujah is the most powerful kind of praise.

✨ Inside this episode: • A story of grief and choosing joy anyway

• What worship looks like when it costs something

🎙️ The Olive Effect Unfiltered | Episode Title: A Man Worth Following – Leadership Rooted in Christ, Not Control

In a culture that swings between criticizing masculinity and glorifying dominance, this episode gently calls us back to God’s original design: leadership that reflects the heart of Christ.

Join Susie as she redefines what it means to be a “man worth following,” stepping away from buzzwords like toxic masculinity and instead exploring biblical masculinity, strong yet gentle, firm yet full of grace.

🕊 Discover the difference between the Alpha Male and the Authoritarian Spirit, and why Jesus redefines leadership through humility, sacrifice, and servant-hearted love.

💪 We unpack:

Why “alpha” doesn’t have to mean aggressive

What healthy male leadership looks like in marriage and the home

How Christ-like strength protects without controlling

The traits that truly make a man respected and worth following

This isn’t just about dating or marriage, it’s about discipleship, spiritual maturity, and raising up men who lead like Jesus.

✨ For the woman seeking godly leadership in her life, or the man longing to be a reflection of Christ in a confused world, this episode is for you.

📖 “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” – Matthew 20:26

💗 “Let all that you do be done in love.” – 1 Corinthians 16:14

Because masculinity isn’t the problem, distortion is. And the solution? Looking to Jesus, the ultimate model of strength led by love.

In this episode of The Olive Effect Unfiltered, we're diving into modern feminism, where it started, how it shifted, and what it means for women today. While feminism once fought for rights like voting and education, today's movement often rejects biblical womanhood, distorts masculinity, and undermines family values. But what if true empowerment isn’t about competition, but about embracing God’s divine design for women? We’ll explore what scripture says about femininity, how men and women were created to complement, not compete with, each other, and why reclaiming biblical womanhood is the key to thriving in faith, strength, and purpose.

Tune in for a thought provoking conversation that challenges cultural narratives and brings us back to God’s beautiful blueprint for women!

Join Susie as she introduces herself and the podcast, sharing the heart behind Proverbs Wellness. She'll take you on a journey to discover who Olive is, why she matters, not just to us, but to God, and the deeper purpose behind this mission. So grab your coffee (she’s got hers!) and let’s dive in.
