Stephanie Wright received the 2024 Gertrude Rush Award on Saturday, July 13, 2024. Her speech was about perseverance— a principle embraced by Gertrude Rush, Iowa's first Black female attorney. Stephanie details her perseverance to have her name included in the book “History of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa (1882-2020).” She tells why her name was left out, who left her name out, and how she got her name back into the history book. She shares how divine intervention brought her to the attention of a New York Times reporter and the publication of her story, "A Retired Prosec&t=48sutor's Quest for Recognition." She concludes with statements on the importance of doing the right thing to set the record straight.

Episode 13 in our Series Step into His Presence
“Calling All Superheroes and Sheroes”

Look up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's . . . When you were little, did you have a superhero or a super–shero or did you want to be one? I guess for many of us, depending on your age, it was Superman, then as the years went by, it was Wonder Woman. Like any other kid, I loved superheroes too. But do you realize that you are a supernatural hero or shero who can make a difference on the small stage or on the world stage? Yes. You can make a difference through prayer and fasting. Fasting and prayer can change your life and can change the lives of people anywhere in the world. I believe this because of the supernatural superheroes in God's Word who fasted, prayed and changed the outcome of history. But I have also heard of modern-day accounts of how prayer warriors changed things through fasting and prayer and delivered a nation. Let's explore this today. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let's talk about you, the Superhero or Super-Shero prayer warrior.

Endurance through Fasting and Prayer

Hello and welcome to Episode 10, in our “Step into His Presence” series. What does it mean to endure in prayer and fasting? Anna is a woman in the New Testament who was an example of someone who endured. Some scholars believe she was a widow for eighty-four years, and during that time, she never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying until the promise of seeing the Messiah was fulfilled in her life. Luke 2:36‑38. My name is Stephanie Wright. Let’s talk about endurance through fasting and prayer.

Hello and welcome to Episode 7 in our series, “Step into His Presence.” Today, we continue stepping into his presence to learn about prayer with fasting. Today’s episode is entitled “Unmasking the Enemy.”

Most of us have seen the Mission Impossible movies, and some are old enough to have seen the television series. There is one significant scene in almost every movie and many TV episodes where a fake rubber mask is used to disguise the good guys to look like one of the bad guys. In other words, you did not always know who the real enemy was. That’s what we are going to talk about today. Who is the real enemy when it comes to spiritual warfare in fasting and prayer? Listen to this podcast—you may be surprised when you unmask this enemy.

My name is Stephanie Wright, and this is Episode 7, “Unmasking the Enemy,” in our series “Step into His Presence.”

Before we get started, if you have not already listened to Episode 1 of this series, “Nothing is Impossible with God,” please do so. It provides scriptures, some basic foundational principles, contemporary examples of fasting with prayer, and caveats on how to fast. We emphasize the importance of checking with your healthcare provider before starting your chosen fast.
