    Has God given you a book to write? Learn how to unlock the scribe in you!

    Have questions or need prayer? Reach out here What does it actually take to write the book God has placed on your heart — and then get it out into the world?  In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Megan Bruiners, #1 international bestselling author of 'Unlock the Scribe in You' and founder of the 'Wealthy Kingdom Authors Academy.'  All the way from Cape Town, South Africa, Megan shares how God took her from being a flight attendant to a prophetic book consultant — and how a single masterclass in 2018 ignited a writing gift she never knew she had, leading to seven books in five years. * We talk about what it really means to be a Scribe,  * Why your messy season is more powerful than you think,  * How to build a Kingdom Author brand that creates real impact and income and  * Why boldness is the one thing God is asking of you right now.  If you've been sitting on a book, this conversation will stir something in you. Don't ignore it — that's the Holy Spirit saying move.

    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.

Nqoko, as we explore the beauty of Visionary Encounter Prayer. Together, we unpack what visionary encounter prayer is, how it’s rooted in Scripture, and how silent prayer and waiting on the Lord can deepen your relationship with Jesus. Samantha shares how stillness creates space to hear God’s voice and grow in intimacy with Him, and we offer simple, biblical ways you can begin positioning your heart for your own encounters — free from striving or pressure.

  6. Knowing who you are – changes EVERYTHING! Rise & Roar Podcast with Jo Lee & Cindy Nicolson

    Knowing who you are – changes EVERYTHING! Rise & Roar Podcast with Jo Lee & Cindy Nicolson

    Have questions or need prayer? Reach out here Who you believe you are will always shape how you live. In this episode, Jo Lee from the Rise & Roar Podcast invited me, Cindy Nicolson to dive into why understanding your identity in Christ changes everything — and why so many believers find it hard to truly walk it out. From insecurity and comparison to people-pleasing and striving, they unpack how a misplaced identity subtly influences our choices, relationships, and even our calling. This isn’t surface-level encouragement or Christian cliché. It’s an honest, practical conversation about recognising the lies we’ve believed, anchoring ourselves in God’s truth, and learning to live from who He says we are,  not from the pressure of the world around us. When we genuinely believe the Father’s words over us and know who we are in Christ, everything else begins to align.

  7. When God writes your comeback story. (You’re not done yet - even when it feels over.)

    10/14/2025

    When God writes your comeback story. (You’re not done yet - even when it feels over.)

    Have questions or need prayer? Reach out here How do you rise again when your identity shatters and God calls you into something you never saw coming? This week on the Embracing Grace podcast, I sat down with Nick Morrison, whose life could fill ten biographies and still leave stories untold. His story is wild, raw, and breathtakingly redemptive: 🐂 From the rodeo arena to the pulpit to comedy clubs🎤 From concussions, paralysis, and suicide attempts to motivational speaking🎶 From mutism to music-led healing💥 From identity collapse to discovering who he truly is in Christ🤍 From performance-driven life to loving people back to hope one conversation at a time After a medical trauma left him temporarily mute and partially paralyzed, God used music to restore his speech. Today he performs comedy, worships with audiences, all while still doing daily brain exercises just to keep speaking. Nick doesn’t preach at people - he loves them into encounter with the Father. Whether it's a comedy club, a LinkedIn message, a classroom of unruly teens, or a hurting waiter (who ends up getting baptised…) his life is proof that God wastes nothing. I'd highly encourage you to get Nick's book which is being launched as an early release this Thursday October 16th  (12-1pm CT). It's called Knocked Out, But Not Down — part memoir, part miracle story, part humour. It’s all in there. If you need inspiration, perspective, laughter, healing, or a reminder that God still writes impossible stories… do not miss this conversation. It’s one of the most powerful interviews I’ve ever hosted.

    Negative words can leave you weak, but this changes everything

    Have questions or need prayer? Reach out here What if the words you speak — and the perspective you carry — could change everything? In this episode of the Embracing Grace Vodcast, I sit down with Christian life coach and founder of Overflow Coaching, Jill White, to talk about the incredible power of perspective and words. Together, we unpack how negative words can leave us weak, but how shifting our perspective to God’s truth strengthens us, restores identity, and helps us walk in our God-given purpose. We cover: ✨ Why perspective shapes how you see yourself and your circumstances ✨ How words either tear down or build up your identity in Christ ✨ Living from strength instead of weakness through a Kingdom mindset If you’ve ever struggled with negative self-talk, doubt, or discouragement, this conversation will give you hope and a fresh way to see yourself — through God’s perspective. 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more faith-filled conversations that empower you to embrace your true identity in Christ and live with purpose.
