Struggling To Forgive, Part 3: Keys To Healing From Trauma

Struggling To Forgive, Part 3: Keys To Healing From Trauma

Three weeks ago, we began a three-week series entitled, Struggling To Forgive. Inspired by a book of the same title, this series will tap into the life and the forgiveness process of two Christian ministers, Anntricia Bray Smith, and Twyla Ellis. We heard their testimonies, how they processed their pain, let go of their past, and renewed their minds. Today, Twyla's will wrap up this series by discussing what happens both psychologically and spiritually when one experiences trauma and provides the key ingredients for healing.

Twyla's book, "Trophy Of Grace," is available on Amazon. Click here to order your copy today. If you would like to reach out to Twyla directly, you can reach her at twyla106@gmail.com

Struggling To Forgive, Part 2: Twyla Ellis' Story.

Struggling To Forgive, Part 2: Twyla Ellis' Story.

Two weeks ago, we began a three-week series entitled, Struggling To Forgive. Inspired by a book of the same title, this series will tap into the life and the forgiveness process of two Christian ministers, Anntricia Bray Smith, and Twyla Ellis. We heard Anntricia's testimony, how she processed her pain, let go of her past, and renewed her mind. 

Today, we will hear Twyla's riveting story that begins with incest and ends with healing. The combination of her testimony and yoke-breaking words have created the need for us to share her story over a two-week period, so sit back, relax, and let God minister to you as we start her story.

NOTE: Today’s episode carries a trigger warning for trauma and sexual assault. Don’t worry, we don’t get very graphic, but for those of you who are uncomfortable about that kind of thing, it might be a lot to take in. The content between the 7:00=9:15 that contains sensitive discussions. Feel free to skip past that section to enjoy the remaining part of this episode and receive the ministerial impact of it. I promise it will provide a healing balm for your soul.

Bruce C.E. Fleming Episode Revisited

Bruce C.E. Fleming Episode Revisited

Are modern Bible translations responsible in part for the gender inequality that women face in society today? Dr. Bruce Fleming, author of The Book Of Eden, and host of The Eden Podcast claims that a lot of pollution has been dumped into Genesis 3:16 by many modern translations of the Bible. He suggests that these inaccurate translations may be the basis for justification of gender-based bias and abuse globally. Listen as he explains his rationale, and see if you agree with his argument.

This episode was originally aired on September 14th, 2021.

Healing from Loss, Part 4

Healing from Loss, Part 4

During this series, we will explore how you can regain joy after suffering from the trauma of loss. Last week, they share the process involved with getting engaged and married. This week, they talk about the birth and death of their firstborn, Thandiwe. They shared what their grief process looked like. Mbulelo expressed the burden he carried of being able to pray for others to rise up from death, yet having to experience burying his child, He struggled with how he could see things in the spirit concerning other people’s lives, but couldn’t see into the tragedy that would await him and Pulane. As a husband and father, he expressed the guilt he experienced, how he blamed God, the shame he experienced, and his question to God: Why.

Healing from Loss, Part 3

Healing from Loss, Part 3

During this series, we will explore how you can regain joy after suffering from the trauma of loss. Last week, Mbulelo and Pulane Gqeba shared how they met, and how they discovered that they were God's choice as marriage partners. This week, they share the process involved with getting engaged and married. They share the cultural process and how that process impacted their engagement. They also shed light on the possibility to stay sexually pure even when one must wait longer than anticipated to tie the knot.

Healing From Loss, Part 2

Healing From Loss, Part 2

During this series, we will explore how you can regain joy after suffering from the trauma of loss. Last week I shared about how few people realize that ministers are humans that suffer the same struggles as anyone else. Likewise, as ministers of the Gospel, so many people suffer through great trials and great losses. The difference is that few people get the opportunity to see how men and women of God manage their frustrations, grief, and sorrow. This series reveals the vulnerability of the minister so that through our scars, you may find the faith to press through your pain as well.

Last week, we introduced you to Prophet Mbulelo Gqeba and his beloved wife, Pulane. To lay a foundation for their testimony, Mbulelo began by sharing the story of his upbringing in South African poverty, and how he came to know Christ. He also shared how he ran away from his calling to operate in the prophetic, and God’s ultimatum which led him back into the household of faith.

Today we will further explore Mbulelo's prophetic calling, and you’ll get a chance to learn a bit about Pulane who already suffered the loss of her mother at a young age. Afterward, we will learn of what Hollywood calls the “meet-cute,” the warmhearted story that only the Gqebas can share about how Mbulelo discovered that Pulane was “the one.”  I feel their backstory is important so that you can take a look inside the life of one of God’s ministers, and gain a clear understanding that the life of a minister isn’t much different from anyone else’s.

Healing From Loss, Part 1

Healing From Loss, Part 1

Meet Mbulelo; a prophet, pastor, and parent. For the next four weeks, he and his wife, Pulane, will share their their story of love, loss and restoration. This week, we begin by introducing you to Mbulelo, where he discusses his humble beginnings, and how God's grace prevailed in his life as he ran away from ministry to find himself hiding in exile. While there, God gave him an ultimatum. Find out how he responded, how his prophetic ministry began, and how God communicated with him in a culture where heightened spiritual senses were the norm.

The Joys of Hearing God Speak, Part 1

The Joys of Hearing God Speak, Part 1

Today's episode is about the joys of hearing God speak.

Do you believe that God doesn’t speak directly to people today the way He did in the Bible? Are you, like me when I was a child,  petrified at the thought of hearing God’s voice? Or, are you among those who long to hear Him speak, curious about how He sounds, or wonder what it would feel like when He says something.

If you are of the persuasion that God doesn’t speak today, I have some news for you. I know from personal experience that not only does He speak, but He longs to speak to His people. To those who are scared of hearing Him speak, never fear. His words bring life, joy, and peace, and then they rinse and repeat. Now, I have a special word for those of you who feel you have never heard God speak, but you long to hear Him. He’s listening to your heart’s cry right this very instant. And our guest is someone who is gifted in guiding people towards hearing God’s voice.

Bringing Out The Writer In You: How To Share What God Has Deposited In You.

Today's Guest is Tony Williams Holloway. She affectionately describes herself as a native Chicagoan, a transplanted Texan, and a heartfelt Mississippian. Several years ago, a road trip with her kids taught her to abandon the life she thought she should have and embrace the one God has planned for her, which includes writing about everything. Professionally, she has nearly 30 years of experience as a journalist, blogger, and college writing instructor. Because she is a natural encourager, she loves coaching others in their writing journies! Toni is a social media manager at Oakcliff Bible Fellowship under the auspices of Dr. Tony Evans, where she uses her gift as a digital missionary to spread the gospel.

In this episode, Tony shares how she taps into heavenly resources for inspiration to write, and how her intimacy with Christ fuels her passion to spread the Gospel through digital media.
