    You Are More Than Your Past

    Have questions or need prayer? Reach out here Who are you when what happened to you is no longer allowed to define you? In this episode of the Embracing Grace Podcast, I’m joined by Lebohang Motshele, author of Woman Restored, for a powerful conversation about identity in Christ, restoration and discovering who God created us to be. Lebohang shares her own faith journey, including how she returned wholeheartedly to Jesus during a difficult season of her life and how God placed a passion in her heart to help women draw closer to Him through prayer and the Word. We explore what it means to be restored to our true identity in Christ, especially when disappointment, rejection, brokenness or difficult circumstances have shaped the way we see ourselves. Through the stories of women in Scripture, including Esther, Ruth, Naomi, Rachel and Leah, Lebohang shares practical insights into character, faithfulness, surrender and trusting God's purposes beyond our present circumstances. We also discuss how prayer, renewing our minds through Scripture and surrendering our pain to Jesus can help us move forward, grow in our faith and recognise the purpose God has for our lives. If you have ever wondered whether your past has disqualified you from God's purposes, this conversation will encourage you to look beyond what has happened to you and fix your eyes on Jesus. You are not defined by your past or your current circumstances. Discover who God says you are and allow Him to restore you to His purpose.

    Birthing Divine Destinies

    Have questions or need prayer? Reach out here What is God asking you to birth in this season? God places visions, dreams, purposes and plans within us, but sometimes what we are carrying can feel delayed, interrupted or even abandoned. We may begin with excitement and obedience, only to find ourselves facing fear, disappointment, opposition or uncertainty. In this conversation, Cindy Nicolson speaks with Bernice McGill about what it means to partner with God in the process of spiritual birthing and to faithfully steward what He has placed within us. Together we explore: ✨ What it means to recognise and steward something God has placed within you ✨ Why some things take time to come to birth ✨ The different stages of spiritual birthing and why we need to steward the stage we are in ✨ What can cause us to abort or abandon a God-given vision ✨ How disappointment and failure can affect our willingness to try again ✨ The importance of obedience, faith and perseverance ✨ Learning to hear and see what God is saying in a new season ✨ Why we need fresh vision, wisdom and discernment to navigate the journey ✨ How God can use even the things that seemed like failures or endings ✨ The faithfulness of God when we feel weak, distracted or uncertain ✨ What happens when what God is birthing through us is ultimately intended to impact others Our foundation scripture for Birthing Divine Destinies is Isaiah 66:9 (TPT): “Yahweh, your God, says, Do I allow you to conceive and not to give birth? Do I shut the womb when I'm the one who delivers?” If God has placed something within you, perhaps this is a season to stop asking whether it is possible and begin asking how He wants you to steward what He has entrusted to you. There are people waiting on the other side of your obedience. Watch, be encouraged, and ask Holy Spirit what He is inviting you to birth in this season. 💜 About Bernice McGill Bernice McGill is prophetically wired and passionate about hearing what God is saying in a season, going into Scripture and bringing revelation that encourages, equips and builds up the Body of Christ.

    Stop Existing. Start Living Your Divine Design

    Have questions or need prayer? Reach out here Stop Existing. Start Living Your Divine Design  What does it truly mean to live from WHO God has made you to be? In this powerful episode of the Embracing Grace Podcast, Cindy is joined by divine purpose coach, wife, mother of three, and speech-language pathologist Antoinette McAllister-Blyden — returning for her second visit on the show! Antoinette shares her remarkable journey of faith, from growing up with a single scripture memorised (John 3:16) to a dramatic encounter with God during her son's emergency birth that led her straight to the altar. She also recounts a supernatural experience in Korea where God literally kept her car running on empty — a moment she says erased every shadow of doubt about the goodness of God. Drawing from her article featured in the Embracing Grace magazine, "Keys to Going from Revelation to Impact: Establishing What is in Heaven on the Earth," Antoinette unpacks what it really looks like to move from receiving a God-given vision all the way through to Kingdom impact. Inspired by standing at the Pyramids of Giza and reflecting on a legacy built to outlast generations, she challenges listeners to stop comparing themselves to others, stop trying to force the impact their way, and instead ask God for the unique, personalised steps He has designed specifically for them. This episode is rich with encouragement for anyone who has felt stuck between the vision and the fruit, wondering why things aren't moving faster or looking like someone else's journey. In this episode, you'll discover: Why comparison is one of the greatest killers of your God-given purposeThe difference between a worldly vision and one that flows from true intimacy with GodHow to bridge the gap between revelation and real-world impact — God's wayWhy your act of obedience today may be building a legacy you'll never fully see in this lifetimeWhat it means to truly embrace your unique divine design and stop just existingAntoinette's closing word: "You haven't truly started living until you're living from who God has designed you to be." 📖 Grab a copy of the Embracing Grace magazine to read Antoinette's full article — https://amzn.to/40U31XJ   🔔 Subscribe, like, and share this episode — you never know whose life you're called to impact. 🎟️  Join us for the Reset Summit — https://tr.ee/THERESET Remember: You are loved, chosen, redeemed, and called.
