    For the One Stepping into Enemy Land

    You're strong. You're an overcomer. You command a room and lead a tribe. You carry a vision. And yet — there are private moments when you feel none of it. When you second-guess your heart, your motives, your strength.Here's the truth: giants speak fear. The closer you get to the territory you were made to inhabit, the clearer their voices become. The Israelites didn't call themselves grasshoppers in the wilderness — only when they got close enough to see the promised land did the lies become louder.In this episode, Laura unpacks the enemy's strategy in the in-between — the healing gap, the faith gap, the place where stronghold is becoming wholeness. You were not invited into your calling to be perfect. You were invited because something sacred is on the other side. And where the enemy has tried to assault the in-between, we declare that we are victorious.

    For the One Spread Too Thin

    For every woman in the middle of too much at the same time. I was about to not record this week... until the Lord dropped this quick, yet hard hitting message in my lap this morning. If you're like me this month, you've experienced a word dropping out of your memory like it never existed. Or you've found yourself multitasking like a superhero. But you're realizing you're not a superhero, just an over functioning woman ready to make the sacrifices to get things done. Listen, this episode is the invitation and challenge that EVERY woman needs sooner rather than later. Because the price of burnout is too high, and if you're like me, you're not willing to pay that expense anymore. Join the Ruah + Ember Academy⁠⁠⁠ Music: Find your Why and Echosphere by Cody Martin.

    For the One in Her Breakthrough Era

    Even this episode is an act of faith. This week I'm learning to show up at the bronze level — and trust that it's enough. Because not every episode is a bomb-dropper, and I'm learning the rhythm of how God speaks to me and how He made me to communicate. This one is for the woman in her breakthrough era. We so often think breakthrough means "I'm anxious and I need it to be gone." And yes — but what if there are 20 steps before that point that could be rewired? What if breakthrough isn't just the absence of anxiety, but the building of an entire ecosystem of joy and peace? We've bowed down to lies. Social media feeds us a mold for our age, our hair, our marital status, our location — and tells us who to be and what we should want. But what if you are uniquely made? With a pace, a circadian rhythm, a body type, a delight that actually fits you? Maybe it's not just fear or anxiety. Maybe your life has been out of sync with how you operate best — and your body is shouting at you to take the hint and change. What if you asked the Lord: how do I best operate? In this episode: Why breakthrough might start 20 steps before the moment you think you need itSeeing the fruit of a rewired brain and a system that brings lifeRejecting the cultural mold and discovering how you were uniquely made to liveWhy your breakthrough won't look like anyone else's — and that's the pointYour body might just be sounding the alarm to say: hey, let's build something different. ⁠Join the Ruah + Ember Academy⁠⁠ Music: Find your Why and Echosphere by Cody Martin.

    For the One Who Knows She's Afraid

    "We have been burying our investments in the ground and called it safe." In this episode, I'm speaking to the woman who is done playing small, done playing it safe, done playing it halfway and half-hearted. I've been sitting with the parable of the talents, and I can't stop thinking about the servant who buried what he was given — out of fear of rejection, fear of not being enough, fear of what could be taken away. I talk to women all the time who sense the call to lead, to write, to gather, to build, and yet bury that little sliver of hope because they're terrified of losing it. It's time to dig it out. It's time to trust the talents He's given us back into the kingdom of God. Obedience is costly. And the fire in her eyes was never hers to begin with.

    For the One Stopping the Cycle of Frantic

    As we head into Mother’s Day weekend, I’ve been thinking about my journey of motherhood, mixed with being a wife and leader. And while this isn’t necessarily a ‘Mother’s Day episode’, it is an episode for the women who are carrying it at all at the same time. And in the middle of moments where the world needs us, we feel… disconnected. Hollow. Frantic. Buzzing. On fumes. Chasing but behind. Like a snack machine moving from one thing to the next.We’re in all the places. With all the people. Meeting all the needs. But at the same time… none. So maybe this episode finds you in the middle of all those things, but feeling like your heart is somewhere far off in the distance. This episode is dear to my heart, far less teaching and way more testimony paired with prayer of breakthrough over you. From a woman who has felt at so many points like I’m drowning in the noise and caving under the pressure-to becoming a woman who has experienced peace multiply in my heart in a way that I didn’t think was possible. Sit back, get the tissues, and I want to prophesy over you connection, peace and the ability to be the woman God has wired you to be. - - - Learn how to take spiritual authority over your spaces and places of influence at our next LIVE Zoom call on May 27 in The Academy, include with our monthly Flame Access Music: Echosong and Echosphere by Cody Martin.

    For the One Bargaining for Mental Peace

    What tiny trade off’s have you made to get a little peace in your life? Like giving work just ‘a little more time’ so you could get ahead? Or ruminating over that problem for another night, so you could ‘finally figure it out’? But how have those trades been going? Do you feel any more peace? Any more goodness or joy?  This week’s episode is a call to action to honestly assess the trades we’ve made to ‘get peace.’ The little sacrifices we’ve made, the one degree off from obedience moves, the time we’ve siphoned off all because we’ve bought into the lie that striving, anxiety or control could bring us the outcome we want. “Be still, and know that I am God,” Psalm 46:10 NIV – one of the most common scriptures we quote, frame and tattoo because we long for that type of stillness. But what if its biblical backstory added so much umph to this passage that it would blow your mind? What if the context brought your bargains and peace to the forefront to deal with? And there you would see… That God is truly a deliver. Provider. Redeemer. The God of Heaven and Earth. The King over all your children and career. The God over your home and church.  And in that… we find true peace.  - - - If your soul is leaning in to this topic, if you're tired of the anxiety swirl and ready to actually walk in peace, the Wildly Aware cohort is where we do this work together this May Come join me and other AMAZING women of God: ⁠We’ve got less than 12 seats Music: Echosong and Echosphere by Cody Martin.

    For the One Caught in Spiritual Entrapment

    Welcome to our Season Four Opener! I’m so excited to be back, and this episode is for the ones carrying that unknown, yet crazy debilitating, boulder of guilt. Guilt often lives in abyss between your head and your heart, a sludge that covers you from top to bottom. That sludge often isn't conviction. It's condemnation. And there is a big difference between the two. The mind game of guilt one of the enemy's oldest tricks, he creepily watches as you take the bait and quietly crack the door open for worry, anxiety, and the very sins that start to erode your joy and purpose. In this episode, we’re diving into Paul’s words in Romans 7, as he names the exact cycle so many of us live in. Then, we’re finding practical real-life keys to freedom in Romans 8:1 NIV, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Not someday. Not once you get your act together. Now. This is your legal freedom. It’s not you caught… it’s the enemy. And he’s red handed. --- 48 HOUR FOUNDERS SALE on our Online Spiritual Formation Membership / Only $39 a month Join The Academy at our lowest price ever!
