    The Finale: Taking Your Spiritual Authority Back

    What if the breakthrough you’ve been praying for begins with recognizing the authority God has already given you? Throughout October, we’ve been exploring The Battle You Can’t See ; from spiritual warfare and deliverance to the doors we unknowingly leave open. Now, we’re bringing it all together. In this final episode, we’re talking about what it means to stop allowing fear, doubt, and circumstances to dictate how we show up and instead begin walking boldly in the authority we have through Jesus Christ. Because spiritual authority isn’t about controlling everything around you. It’s about knowing who you belong to, standing firm in God’s truth, and refusing to let fear have the final word. As we close this series, I want to leave you with one question: Are you walking in the authority God has given you, or are you still surrendering to things He’s called you to stand against? My prayer is that this conversation encourages you to stand firm, deepen your faith, and remember that you are never fighting alone.

    The Doors We Don't Realize We Left Open with Jacqueline Josephine

    What if some of the things we’re asking God to remove from our lives are the very things we keep allowing back in? In this week’s episode of Rooted & Radiant, we’re continuing our October series, The Battle You Can’t See, with a powerful conversation about spiritual discernment, personal responsibility, surrender, and obedience. I’m joined by Jacqueline Josephine as we explore what it really means to leave an open door, the things we may have unknowingly normalized, and how our everyday choices can influence our spiritual growth. Together, we unpack the difference between spiritual warfare and personal accountability, how to recognize conviction without confusing it with condemnation, and why closing certain doors sometimes requires more than prayer. It requires action. We also talk about relationships, boundaries, and the importance of being honest with ourselves about what we’re continuing to give access to. Because sometimes the question isn’t just what we’re fighting. It’s what we’re allowing. Jacqueline Josephine is a woman of God, holistic aesthetician, marketing strategist, and community builder based in Tampa Bay. Through her Kingdom-led businesses, JJ Creative LLC and its offshoot Sacred Blossom, she helps women embrace their natural beauty and expand their brands through faith-first events and marketing. With nearly a decade of community-based marketing experience, including serving as Director of Marketing for women- and minority-led startups, Jacqueline believes the Lord is working through her to help women blossom in all seasons of life, just as Isaiah 35:2 promises.

    When You're Fighting Battles Nobody Sees

    Some of the hardest battles we fight are the ones nobody else can see. In the first episode of October’s The Battle You Can’t See series, we’re talking about what it looks like to recognize the battles happening beneath the surface without labeling every hard moment as spiritual warfare. How do you know what you’re actually fighting? What happens when fear, discouragement, distraction, isolation, or old patterns start getting louder? And what if the answer isn’t always to fight harder, but to pause long enough to ask God for discernment? In this episode, we’re getting practical about praying before reacting, taking our thoughts captive, leaning into community, putting on the armor of God, and recognizing when God may be asking us to take responsibility and walk in obedience. Before you leave, I’m giving you a simple 24-hour Rooted & Radiant challenge to help you identify what you’re fighting, what you’ve been believing, and what God says is true. The goal isn’t to become more aware of the enemy. It’s to become more anchored in Jesus. 🤎 Chapters 00:00 Introduction to unseen battles and why they matter 02:07 Understanding the spiritual battle in Ephesians 6 04:25 Identifying what you're truly fighting—spiritual opposition or personal accountability 06:13 Invisible battles—fear, discouragement, comparison, and shame 07:02 The war of the mind and how to take thoughts captive 08:27 Practical steps: Naming, praying, and checking scripture 10:23 The importance of community and physical/emotional health 11:39 Obedience and putting on the armor of God 13:36 The 24-hour challenge: Reflecting on your battles and next steps 14:19 Walking closely with Jesus and the goal of spiritual awareness 🎙️ Listen now and send this episode to someone who may be fighting a battle nobody else sees.

    Letting Go Of " Old You " For Good With Hailey Sykes

    What if becoming the person you’re called to be requires you to finally let go of the person you’ve been? We’re closing out our September series on discipline, habits, and building a life with a conversation about one of the hardest parts of growth: recognizing when old habits, mindsets, environments, and versions of ourselves can no longer come with us. This week, Ashley is joined by returning Rooted & Radiant guest Hailey Sykes, a strength coach, business owner, and mom who helps women build strength that lasts, physically and mentally. With a background in exercise science and years of experience working with women through different seasons of life, Hailey brings both expertise and real-life perspective to what sustainable transformation actually requires.  Together, Ashley and Hailey unpack the tension between wanting change and choosing the habits required to create it. They talk about physical and spiritual discipline, identity, accountability, giving yourself grace without giving yourself excuses, and knowing when something that once served you is now keeping you attached to an old version of yourself. They also wrestle with an important question for people of faith: Can we become so focused on becoming the “best version” of ourselves that we forget the ultimate goal is becoming more like Christ? Because transformation isn’t just about adding better habits. Sometimes growth requires releasing what no longer belongs. 🤎 Chapters 00:00 Introduction and guest background 02:07 Wanting change versus choosing change 05:27 The impact of self-perception on transformation 08:48 Motivation versus habits 10:28 Resisting quick fixes and embracing process 12:14 Grace versus excuses 14:06 Letting go of old seasons and environments 15:24 Community and self-awareness in growth 17:36 Practical steps to start change 20:16 Balancing self-improvement with faith 22:42 Breaking cycles and building new habits 24:52 Believing you are already that person 25:17 Discipline and resistance as growth signs 28:04 Listening to God and aligning with purpose 30:16 Overcoming control and trusting the process 32:23 Future goals and being fearless 33:23 The importance of rest and self-care 34:21 Saying yes to the right things 35:22 Upcoming offerings and connection 36:49 Final thoughts and encouragement Ask yourself: What is one thing the person God is calling me to become can no longer afford to carry? Maybe it’s a habit.A mindset.A relationship.An environment.An excuse.Or simply an old way of seeing yourself. Name it. Be honest about why you’re still holding onto it. Then choose one practical step you can take toward releasing it. You don’t have to become someone new overnight. But you can stop returning to the things keeping you attached to who you used to be.

    The Power of Daily Obedience with Cherie Craney

    What happens when you know what God is asking you to do, but saying yes feels uncomfortable, inconvenient, or doesn’t make sense yet? This week on Rooted & Radiant, we’re continuing our September series on discipline, habits, and building a life with a conversation about The Power of Daily Obedience. I'm joined by Cherie Craney, wife, mom of two, and Christian children’s book author, for an honest conversation about what obedience to God looks like in everyday life. Together, they unpack what it means to recognize God’s direction, say yes before you feel ready, and remain faithful when obedience doesn’t immediately produce the outcome you expected. They also get into the harder questions: What happens when obedience costs you something? How do you know the difference between waiting on God and God waiting on you? And what happens when you know you delayed your yes? Because obedience isn’t only found in the big, life-changing decisions. Sometimes it’s found in the small, quiet yeses nobody else sees. 🤎 Ask yourself: What has God already been asking me to do that I keep delaying, negotiating with, or waiting to feel ready for? Name it. Identify what’s making you hesitate. Decide what your yes looks like. Then take one practical step within the next 24 hours. You don’t need to see the next ten steps to be faithful with the one God has placed in front of you. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the episode and guest Cherie Craney 02:23 Cherie shares her background and her children's book series 03:06 The meaning of daily obedience in Cherie's life 04:05 Obeying God even when it doesn't make sense 05:08 Moving during COVID-19 by faith 06:07 Overcoming fear with courage and faith 08:48 Distinguishing God's voice from fear and desires 10:42 The importance of not delaying obedience 13:24 Knowing when God is waiting on us versus us waiting on God 17:04 Discipline versus obedience and Holy Spirit guidance 18:50 The cost of obedience and trusting God's plan 20:18 Beginning again after missed opportunities 21:14 Practical steps to say yes to God within 24 hours 22:53 Cherie shares her favorite habits and lessons in faith 23:36 One yes to God that changed Cherie's life 23:59 Cherie discusses her desire to be asked about her faith journey Ashley GloverInstagram: @rootedandradiantpodInstagram: @simplyashcashTikTok: @simplyashcash Cherie CraneyInstagram: @thereisapromise1Facebook: @thereisapromise Website: theresapromise.com Connect with Cherie to learn more about her work and her children’s book series, There’s a Promise at the End of God’s Rainbow.
