The Seal and the Secret Place Change Everything

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2138819/fan_mail/new]  LIVESTREAM EVENT: How the Seal and the Secret Place Change Everything  This past weekend, I had the privilege of speaking at the Living as a Daughter of the King Women’s Conference — and honestly, I’m still reflecting on all God did in the hearts of women there. There were moments of deep healing, freedom, laughter, tears, breakthrough, worship, and powerful encounters with the Father’s love. So many women realized they had spent years striving, performing, carrying everything alone, and quietly living from exhaustion instead of resting in their identity as daughters of God. In this livestream, I’ll be sharing: Highlights and testimonies from the conference The core themes from all four conference messages How the Seal of God and the Secret Place transform identity Why so many Christian women are living from striving instead of rest How intimacy with the Father changes perspective and heals orphan thinking The difference between living like an orphan and living as a daughter of the King I’ll also be sharing photos and special moments from the weekend — including some beautiful mountain scenery, worship moments, breakthrough stories, and even a few unexpected adventures from camp activities.  If you’ve ever: felt emotionally exhausted struggled with comparison or insecurity felt disconnected spiritually tied your worth to performance longed for deeper intimacy with God …this conversation is for you. Come join the conversation live, invite a friend, and let’s talk about what it truly means to live as daughters of the King.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2138819/support] 🌟 Stay Connected & Go Deeper! 🌟 Loved this episode?

The Things I Didn’t Have Time to Say About Orphan Identity

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2138819/fan_mail/new] In this special edition episode of The Higher Pursuit Podcast, Cecily shares the “behind the scenes” revelations, study notes, and biblical insights that didn’t make it into the four messages she is ministering this weekend at the Monadnock Renew Women’s Conference. This conversation dives deep into orphan identity, striving, sonship, healing, and the Father’s heart. Through powerful biblical examples like the older brother in Luke 15, Esther, and Psalm 73, Cecily explores what it looks like to live as sons and daughters of God instead of spiritual orphans trying to earn love, approval, and belonging. If you’ve ever struggled with: • insecurity • comparison • striving • performance-based identity • fear of not being enough • or difficulty receiving God’s love —this episode is for you. In This Episode: * The older brother and the orphan mindset of striving * Why many believers serve FOR love instead of FROM love * The deeper meaning behind crying “Abba, Father” * The courtroom language of Romans 8:16 * Esther as an orphan who carried courage, wisdom, and identity * Psalm 73 and how comparison distorts identity * The difference between living like a servant and living like a son or daughter Key Takeaway You are not fighting FOR sonship… you are learning to live FROM it. Scriptures Mentioned * Luke 15 * Romans 8:15–16 * Deuteronomy 19:15 * Psalm 73 * Book of Esther A New Place to Go Deeper If this conversation resonates with you, Cecily is now sharing additional reflections, teachings, and spiritual insights on Substack—a space dedicated to helping believers pursue a deeper, more vibrant walk with God. There you’ll find both short reflections and longer teachings that expand on many of the ideas shared in the livestream.
