    EP. 9 | The Power of a Willing Woman

    God doesn’t need perfect women—He needs willing ones. In this episode of The Original HER Experience, we explore the powerful stories of Deborah and Jael in Judges 4 and discover what can happen when ordinary women fully surrender to an extraordinary God. Deborah teaches us the importance of knowing our position, trusting God’s voice, and leading with courage. Jael reminds us that God can use what’s already in our hands to accomplish His purposes. Together, their stories reveal a powerful truth: God is not limited by titles, status, culture, or human expectations. He strengthens and uses women who are willing to trust Him, obey Him, and align themselves with His will. Scriptures Referenced:• Judges 4• Psalm 20:7• Psalm 23• Jeremiah 29:11 🤍 Heart Check Questions • Where has God already spoken that you’ve been waiting on more confirmation? • Are you chasing a position instead of stewarding the one God has already given you? • What “tent peg” has God already placed in your hand that you’re overlooking? • Where is God asking you to choose conviction over comfort? • What battle are you trying to win in your own strength that God wants you to surrender to Him? Remember:Deborah knew her position. Jael used what was in her hand. God doesn’t need perfect women—just willing ones. 🤍 More from The Original HER Experience: Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/sharonda.shantelle?igsh=aW42bzk0MmlpNXZo&utm_source=qr⁠ Substack: ⁠https://substack.com/@theoriginalherletters⁠ Tiktok⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@sharonda.shantelle?_r=1&_t=ZP-95FtYMdJ6Wk⁠ ✨ If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss an episode of The Original HER Experience.

    Ep. 8 She Doesn’t Make Headlines, But She’s Significant: What Zipporah Teaches Us About Hidden Purpose

    “You don’t have to make headlines to leave an impact.” 🤍 In this episode, we explore the story of Zipporah and the powerful reminder that significance isn’t determined by visibility. Through her often-overlooked role in Scripture, we’ll uncover what it means to be faithful behind the scenes, embrace God’s unique assignment for your life, and find your identity in purpose—not popularity. Because sometimes the people who make the greatest impact are the ones who never make the headlines. 🤍 💎 Her Gems • You don’t have to be the face of the movement to be essential to the mission. • Just because your work isn’t visible doesn’t mean it isn’t valuable. • Some of the greatest impact happens in places where there is no audience. • Your obedience in private may be affecting people you’ll never meet. • God doesn’t measure significance the way the world measures visibility. • Your assignment doesn’t need a spotlight to have purpose. • Faithfulness in secret still carries weight in the Kingdom. • Stop comparing your role to someone else’s platform. • Your “yes” to God may be changing generations, even if no one applauds it. • Some people are called to be prominent. Others are called to be pivotal. Both matter. • The world celebrates recognition. God honors obedience. • You don’t have to make headlines to leave an impact. • Sometimes the foundation is more important than the spotlight.

    Ep 7 Sis, Raise the Bar | Rachel & Leah

    Sis, it’s time to stop lowering the bar and remember this truth: you were already worthy enough for Jesus to lay down His life for you. In this episode of The Original HER Experience, we’re unpacking the story of Rachel & Leah and the powerful lessons they teach us about worth, validation, love, and identity in Christ. From performing for affection to attaching our value to what we lack, this conversation dives into how easily we can settle, strive, and search for fulfillment in people instead of God. We talk about:✨ Raising the bar in relationships✨ Performing for love & validation✨ Leah’s struggle to feel chosen✨ Rachel’s focus on what she lacked✨ Healing from survival mode✨ Why your worth was already settled at the cross Because healing begins when we stop performing to be chosen and realize we were already chosen by God. 🤍 Her promise circle info: https://community.herpromisecircle.com/invitation?code=33JDDE God never intended for us to heal alone. Community is part of the process.

    Ep. 6 From Prayer to Opinion: How Gossip Distorts Your Heart

    Not all gossip sounds messy—some of it sounds spiritual, reasonable, and even true. But as we see in Numbers 12, truth spoken from the wrong heart can still lead to consequences. In this episode, we’re confronting the hidden ways gossip shows up in our lives, how it contaminates our perspective, and how to shift from judgment back to intercession—so we can walk fully in our healed, restored identity in Christ.

    You Were Her… What Happened? How Unhealed Mothers Pass Down Broken Patterns

    In this episode, we walk through the story of Rebekah Genesis 24-27—not just as a woman in the Bible, but as a mirror. We see her first as an aligned woman:kind, grounded, serving from a genuine place… simply showing up where she was supposed to be. And then—we watch the shift. From alignment to control.From trust to manipulation.From identity… to wounds leading the way. This episode dives into: how unhealed identity shows up in motherhoodhow generational patterns quietly repeat themselvesand why what isn’t healed will always find a way to be passed downWe also talk about the reality that many women weren’t given what they needed either—and how that doesn’t excuse the behavior, but it does explain why the cycle continues. And more importantly… how it stops. Because this isn’t about shame—it’s about awareness, healing, and returning. Returning to who you were before the wounds shaped you.Returning to the identity God originally designed for you. If you’ve ever felt like you lost yourself…If you’ve seen patterns in your family you don’t want to repeat…If you’re committed to doing the inner work so it doesn’t pass through you— this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we talk about identity, being a giver in a world full of takers, setting boundaries, and how God will meet you in your running—but won’t leave you there. You are not forgotten. You are seen. And you’re being called back into alignment.
