Warrior Words | Stories of Hope | Finding Beauty After Battles & Thriving After Surviving Trauma

Welcome to Episode 184 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Steven M. Bell.
In his original episode, number 140, Steven shared his story of addiction and recovery.
But not just that... he shared how listening to his son began a conversion journey. And during that journey, his addiction got worse, to the point of almost losing everything.
Because of the way God works, it was that conversion that helped prepare him for what he needed to do in order to experience recovery and redemption from the alcohol that had a hold on him.
He had to get uncomfortable.
And then his Father showed Steven that He, too, was listening.
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.

Welcome to Episode 183 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Allison Brown.
In her original episode, number 122, Allison shared her story of living with chronic illness for the last 30+ years.
She shared about the difficulties with her classmates, as well as those experienced as an adult.
But we also talked about her friendship with St. Therese and St. Mary Magdalene; one of whom has a feast day on Allison's birthday.
With 30+ years of living with chronic illness, Allison offers hope and radiates joy. She even lit up when discussing a group she's a part of. This group supports her, reflecting to her the person God created her to be, the exact opposite of what she experienced from her group of classmates.
Allison is truly inspirational, letting us know that just because you live with chronic anything doesn't mean your value is diminished.
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.

Welcome to Episode 182 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Andy Campbell.
In his original episode, number 102, Andy shared his story of multiple traumas and how they led to some core beliefs about how God made him and who he was.
Andy and I discussed multiple storms he's walked through in his life, but the most shocking one was when he was given six months to live ~ almost seven years ago.
God put him on a path of discovery, and Andy learned to listen to the still, small voice God used.
But we also talked a lot about forgiveness, and what it took for him to be able to forgive.
It's a great conversation that didn't go as I had pre-planned it, which goes to show that the Holy Spirit's plan is always better than ours!
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.

Welcome to Episode 181 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Gina Morton.
In her original episode, number 82, Gina shared her emotional story of her son Teddy.
Throughout the story, she shows how God was with her, Teddy, and the rest of her family.
She knew suffering was coming, but she found so much beauty in the short time she actively walked through her storm. But more than a decade later, she is still walking through it, only now she is seeing the legacy that was created by her decision to accept her cross.
This is a story that involves Ronald McDonald, Hershey, and a dance-a-thon.
It is also a story of motherhood, grief, acceptance, grace, faith, and joy!

Welcome to Episode 180 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Maureen Pratt.
In her original episode, number 80, Maureen shared her story of chronic illness from childhood until present day.
She tells but doesn't dwell.
In fact, Maureen has found peace in her suffering. She even titled her book, Peace in the Storm. She has even formed an entire ministry around this book - a ministry God started forming before she even knew about it.
One other thing Maureen talks about in this episode is that she went looking for a particular type of book after receiving a diagnosis. She couldn't find one, so she wrote it.
That's a challenge I'd like to issue: if you can't find what you need, pray about it, and then create it.

Welcome to Episode 179 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This week's Summer Rewind features Miriam Susan.
In her original episode, number 78, Miraim Susan shared about a family situation no one should have to endure.
We all know about, and maybe have even participated in, jokes about in-laws. But what happens when the jokes are no longer funny?
What happens when those in-laws cross the line and violate boundaries you set up for your family?
This episode talks specifically about one set of parents; however, the message can be for anyone in your family or even your other circles.
When someone crosses the line, how do you balance the love you have with the pain they're causing?
Depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.

This week's Summer Rewind features Claudine Noel.
In her original episode, number 66, she shared how God led her on a healing journey by gifting her Divine Breadcrumbs. Claudine followed these breadcrumbs to discover the path God had in mind for her.
From trauma as a young girl to beliefs based on something untrue to helping other women discover their feminine genius.

Welcome to Episode 177 of the Warrior Words podcast!
It's Summer Time and the Livin' is Easy ~ Isn't that how the song goes?
Maybe not for many moms who listen to the show. Kids are out of school, and the schedules get more hectic instead of less sometimes.
Last summer, people seemed to like the Summer Rewind series I did, where I brought back several episodes from the previous year, recorded a new beginning commentary, and then re-aired them.
The commentaries sometimes have fun facts, or in this week's case: a mistake, or memories of the guest or of recording the episode.
So, depending on how new you are to the show, enjoy these great conversations again, or discover them for the first time.
We start with Dineen Miller's story of a mother walking through childhood cancer with her daughter.
Dineen is a prolific author who has written in multiple genres, so I wanted to honor her writing career by creating a list of her titles on my storefront, so you can access them here. I hope you find a book or two to add to your summer reading list.

Welcome to Episode 176 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This episode follows a slightly different pattern than the usual format. Usually, our guest shares a story of a challenge or trauma he or she has experienced.
This time? Our guest, Miles, shares stories for people who can no longer speak for themselves. But their lives and stories have value and deserve to be shared.
Just as they, as human beings and children of God, deserved to die with dignity.
Like me and others, Miles heard a call from God, a call to do something he'd never thought of doing. Also like me, it took him a while to say yes.
But once he did, what he and his team have created has been a huge blessing to those who have walked through their doors. And a blessing to all those involved.
Listen in to hear how Miles' fiat has allowed families to be reunited, families to stay united, and those who are dying to live their dying and die with dignity.
 
NOTE: There is a slight issue with his audio drawing out a little, and his video freezes a few times.

Welcome to Episode 175 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
When God told me I was supposed to be a podcaster and public speaker, I had no idea how to do either one.I didn't want to do either one.In this episode, both of those things come together!I am speaking with my speaking coach, Emanuela Hall! It's amazing that when you are obedient to the Holy Spirit, He directs you to what - or who - you need.Emanuela is a performer and lover of the stage, who found a neglected niche in 2020 when people started to move online more and more.She started coaching, creating courses, podcasting, and doing all the things on social media to build an online business.She also had three children, whom she now homeschools, and three births that didn't go as planned.Then she decided to do something for herself and participated in a 30-day creativity challenge. In those 30 days, she wrote a short play about her breastfeeding experiences and was blessed to be able to perform it on the stage.She struggled with all of the "shoulds" and "have-tos" of being a mom.And in 2025, those "shoulds" started showing up in her business.But she learned from her motherhood "shoulds" and realized that she could take a pause to discover who she was created to be. Were all of these things in her life things she wanted or that which society told her she "should" be?She got creative!
