Welcome to Episode 114 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
It's time for another "Summer Rewind" episode, where I'm taking some older episodes and re-airing them. I'm sprucing them up a bit and adding a little commentary.
In this episode, I showcase James C. Magruder! Jim's episode was the first ever to make it to video. Once we were able to get his episode to the YouTube Channel, we started getting all of the episodes to video. Jim is the trend-setter! Have you subscribed to the Warrior Words YouTube Channel yet? Please consider hitting that subscribe button & the notifications bell.
Since that episode, Jim has been working hard on a new novel while promoting The Desert Between Us. In fact, this book just won the Christian Market Book Award's 2025 Romance Novel of the Year!
Have a listen to Jim's personal story that inspired The Desert Between Us. Then pick up your own copy using the link below.
I thought this might be a good way to introduce newer listeners to episodes they may have missed. And a way for my long-time listeners to hear something they may have missed.

Welcome to Episode 113 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk about Heavenly profits. What happens when we work so hard to store things up here on earth, and then we die? Of what benefit is that?

Welcome to Episode 112 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
It's time for another "Summer Rewind" episode, where I'm taking some older episodes and re-airing them. I'm sprucing them up a bit and adding a little commentary.
In this episode, I showcase Ondrea Lynn! Ondrea's episode got some great comments when it originally aired. Her transformation was nothing short of miraculous, and I loved the moment she took one step and her eyes were opened.
She's been hard at work since her episode was published, and now she's published a book - look for that in the show notes and grab yourself a copy.
I thought this might be a good way to introduce newer listeners to episodes they may have missed. And a way for my long-time listeners to hear something they may have missed.

Welcome to Episode 110 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
It's time for another "Summer Rewind" episode, where I'm taking some older episodes and re-airing them. I'm sprucing them up a bit and adding a little commentary.
In this episode, I showcase Kim Stewart! Kim came on during Autism Acceptance Month last year and shared her story of getting the autism diagnosis during a time when resources were scarce. She learned to lean on community and celebrate even the small things in her and her son's lives.
I thought this might be a good way to introduce newer listeners to episodes they may have missed. And a way for my long-time listeners to hear something they may have missed.

Welcome to Episode 109 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
In this short Bits of Biblical Beauty (BoBB) episode, I talk about a spiritual checklist God put into His Word for us. It's a great list to use at the end of the day as a sort of examination of conscience; a way to check in with how you are doing on this journey to Heaven.

Welcome to Episode 108 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
I'm back with another "Summer Rewind" episode where I'm taking some older episodes and re-airing them. I'm sprucing them up a bit and adding a little commentary.
I thought this might be a good way to introduce newer listeners to episodes they may have missed. And a way for my long-time listeners to hear something they may have missed.
In this episode, I showcase Wendy Hooton! Wendy brought humor and joy with her as she discussed receiving a difficult diagnosis and meeting the challenges she's faced over the years. She talks about finding your voice and feeding the warrior within.

Welcome to Episode 106 of the Warrior Words podcast!
 
This is the second in a series I'm calling "Summer Rewind," where I'm taking some older episodes and re-airing them. I'm sprucing them up a bit and adding a little commentary.
I thought this might be a good way to introduce newer listeners to episodes they may have missed. And a way for my long-time listeners to hear something they may have missed.
In this episode, I showcase Dr. Carron Silva! Carron shared with us about her experience growing up under the Apartheid System and how the hatred of a small group of people impacted society as a whole, but also trickled down into family life.
