Cutting through the Noise with Wisdom: One on One with Heather Margiotta

One on One with Jen Gleghorn Ph.D - For the One Untethering Loyalty

This week we welcome Jen Gleghorn to the conversation for an honest look at the loyalties that shape us—and what happens when drawing closer to God begins to untether them. Jen has belonged to the same church since she was four or five years old. Forty-plus years. Her kids grew up there, her granddaughter is there now, and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone more devoted to a place. So when God invited her into a closer walk and she sensed it would challenge her very definition of loyalty, it scared her. What she discovered in the season since is the heart of this episode: that her deep faithfulness to her church had quietly risen to the same level as her loyalty to God—maybe even higher. Jen shares the shift she felt from an Empire mindset to a Kingdom one, why our ultimate loyalty belongs to God alone, and how that reordering changes everything about why we stay and why we go. It's also a frank conversation about leaving well—the difference between being genuinely released by God and simply following our emotions out the door, and what a truly godly posture looks like when it's time to go. If you've ever wrestled with where your loyalty really rests, you'll want to sit with this one. About Jen Gleghorn Ph. D: Jen has taught high school English for 21 years and has been a volunteer staff pastor at Bridge of Hope Church in Boardman, Ohio since 2021. She has been married to Brandon for 25 years and together they have three children and two grand children. Her hobbies consist of reading, writing, and experiencing the world and people God created. Jen’s ministry focus has been walking alongside people who find themselves stuck in emotions and patterns of behavior, but who are looking for growth and hope for their lives. As she likes to say: awareness is good, deliverance is better, but freedom is the best. ⁠Claim a spot in our YOU ARE A LEADER Intensive this July:⁠⁠ [https://ruahandember.com/leader/] We've got 12 spots for women who are hungry to dive into her purpose, identity and God-given gifts.

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.

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 it * Seeing the fruit of a rewired brain and a system that brings life * Rejecting the cultural mold and discovering how you were uniquely made to live * Why your breakthrough won't look like anyone else's — and that's the point Your body might just be sounding the alarm to say: hey, let's build something different. ⁠Join the Ruah + Ember Academy⁠⁠ [https://ruahandember.com/theacademy/] Music: Find your Why and Echosphere by Cody Martin.
