Woman of Wholeness

This week on the Woman of Wholeness Podcast, we are joined by the insightful Traci Brubaker to explore the profound impact of our words. Think of our life as a beautifully wrapped box with a silver bow on top. Our words are gifts inside these silver boxes. What are we speaking to others and allowing others to speak over us? Our words can be uplifting and encouraging, like a precious gift, or they can be hurtful and destructive, like a knife that cuts deep. Often, we remember the harsh words more than the kind ones. Traci shares how important it is to watch our words and reminds us that we can always tell each other when something isn't a "silver box"—when words sting and cause pain. We also discuss how negative words can squelch dreams and how crucial it is to pay attention to the voice in our minds. What vision has God given you? Don’t let others' negative words keep you from pursuing it. Trust in your passions and the path God has set for you. The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. So, what are we speaking to each other—life or death? Join us for this enlightening conversation as we delve into the power of words, the importance of supportive speech, and how to safeguard our dreams and visions. 💬 Tune in to be inspired and challenged to use your words wisely and positively. Let's create silver boxes filled with love, encouragement, and life. 💖 Give Traci a follow on social media to be encouraged often. She is a beacon of positivity and inspiration, and you won't want to miss her uplifting messages.

Today, we're bringing you a powerful and eye-opening episode unlike any we've had before. We're diving deep into the disturbing reality of sex trafficking happening right in our own backyard, particularly in Northwest Indiana. The numbers of missing people are staggering, and the lack of awareness and coverage is alarming. Our guest, Alicia, shares her harrowing experience from 20 years ago when she narrowly escaped an attempted kidnapping by a gang in California. Shockingly, this event took place in Griffith, Indiana. Alicia's story sheds light on the hidden dangers and the urgent need for increased awareness and action in our community. But amidst the darkness, there's hope. We highlight the incredible work being done by local heroes to support those rescued from sex trafficking. One such beacon of hope is "Ashley's House," a safe haven for survivors to heal and reintegrate into society. Located right here in our area, Ashley's House provides essential support and resources to those in need. Ladies, what has the Lord put on your heart? Is there an area where you'd like to get involved and make a difference? There's an upcoming benefit for Ashley's House at the end of July, and we would love for you to attend, learn more about this amazing organization, and explore how you can contribute—whether through your time, skills, or finances. Don't miss this episode. Tune in to hear Alicia's compelling story and find out how you can join the fight against sex trafficking.

In this powerful episode of the Woman of Wholeness Podcast, we are joined by the incredible Taylor Jackson, who shares the importance and power of praying through your home. Taylor delves into the practice of anointing your doors, windows, and spaces with oil, emphasizing the biblical call to "keep" or "guard" our homes. Many of us think of keeping our homes as maintaining cleanliness and order, but Taylor reveals that the word "keep" actually means to guard. Are we standing guard over everything that comes into our homes? Taylor's lived experience of physically removing items from her home and witnessing profound changes in her household and children is a testament to this practice. Women, we have the authority over the enemy, and we are called to guard and fight against it with the power and authority given to us by God. This episode is an invitation to stand firm in that authority and actively protect our homes through prayer and anointing. If this concept is new to you or if you have questions about praying over your home and anointing it with oil, Taylor is a wonderful resource. She is a woman you want in your corner. Having had the privilege to share prayer requests, new scriptural insights, and be challenged by her depth of understanding and practice, I can attest to the blessing of knowing her. Taylor will draw you closer to the Father, and with a friend like that, you can’t lose. Tune in to this inspiring episode and join us as we learn how to take spiritual authority over our homes, ensuring they are places of peace, protection, and God's presence. 🎧 Subscribe, listen, and be encouraged!

This year I have been searching out Biblical affirmations and have been writing them down and speaking them out loud as I start each day. I want to invite you on the journey too! What are we speaking over ourselves? Are we speaking life over ourselves to start each day or are we speaking death over us? ✨The 7 affirmations I have chosen for the first month of the year are✨
