For the One

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.

For the One Who Knows She's Afraid

"We have been burying our investments in the ground and called it safe." In this episode, I'm speaking to the woman who is done playing small, done playing it safe, done playing it halfway and half-hearted. I've been sitting with the parable of the talents, and I can't stop thinking about the servant who buried what he was given — out of fear of rejection, fear of not being enough, fear of what could be taken away. I talk to women all the time who sense the call to lead, to write, to gather, to build, and yet bury that little sliver of hope because they're terrified of losing it. It's time to dig it out. It's time to trust the talents He's given us back into the kingdom of God. Obedience is costly. And the fire in her eyes was never hers to begin with.

For the One Stopping the Cycle of Frantic

As we head into Mother’s Day weekend, I’ve been thinking about my journey of motherhood, mixed with being a wife and leader. And while this isn’t necessarily a ‘Mother’s Day episode’, it is an episode for the women who are carrying it at all at the same time. And in the middle of moments where the world needs us, we feel… disconnected. Hollow. Frantic. Buzzing. On fumes. Chasing but behind. Like a snack machine moving from one thing to the next.We’re in all the places. With all the people. Meeting all the needs. But at the same time… none. So maybe this episode finds you in the middle of all those things, but feeling like your heart is somewhere far off in the distance. This episode is dear to my heart, far less teaching and way more testimony paired with prayer of breakthrough over you. From a woman who has felt at so many points like I’m drowning in the noise and caving under the pressure-to becoming a woman who has experienced peace multiply in my heart in a way that I didn’t think was possible. Sit back, get the tissues, and I want to prophesy over you connection, peace and the ability to be the woman God has wired you to be. - - - Learn how to take spiritual authority over your spaces and places of influence at our next LIVE Zoom call on May 27 in The Academy, include with our monthly Flame Access [https://ruahandember.thinkific.com/bundles/flame-access] Music: Echosong and Echosphere by Cody Martin.
