Renewal for Women Over 55: Free to Be YOU, Spirit-Led and Holy.

Matt debunks the prevalent myth that holiness is unattainable. Gain a welcome and fresh perspective about your identity and the lifestyle of holiness. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO BECOME HOLY! Holiness isn't something we strive to attain, and we don't become holy over time. Holiness is accomplished by Jesus. Thank God, the sins we commit don't define us! They don't belong to us, the baptized, anymore. We are not our sins any more than stepping on a nail makes us nails. Of course, we may need help removing the nail or the sin (and cleaning our wounds).

As the clear and practical author of 'Free to Be Holy: Discovering Who You Are in Christ' (and Director of Training for Heart of the Father Ministries, and co-author of the 'Unbound Ministry Guidebook' and 'Abba's Heart'), Matt dives into what it truly means to be new in Christ and to be sanctified by grace, which transforms our character and our fruits. Stay tuned to the end for wise insights on relationships with adult children and getting to truly worship and know God, as well as the link to https://radiantjoy.us/FreeToBe, where you'll find information about the women's group Christine will lead to discuss and apply 'Free to Be Holy' concepts to our everyday lives.

We talk to a Christian author, Debra L. Butterfield, who broke barriers: from being a woman in the Marines in the 70s to breaking the silence as a mother who learned of sexual abuse within her family. This inspirational woman, who didn’t start writing professionally until she was 45, now publishes non-fiction, stories, and novels to help others through their most painful struggles, prompting readers to ponder deep questions about love, passion, purpose, and self-worth. Her own resilience offers a message of hope, empowerment, and personal growth.

What does it really mean to forgive, and why is it so important, yet incredibly hard? A healing and deliverance team leader and trainer unpacks major reasons that keep us chained to our past, steeped in hurt, bitterness, and often, self-blame. She also covers practical steps for forgiving even the deepest wounds, illuminating the path towards healing, peace, and better health moving forward.

Many doubt whether they're hearing the Lord correctly and are timid about sharing what might be a gift for their community of fellow believers. Marcy Deptuch makes it quite clear how to grow in word gifts, how to discern whether and when to share them, how to operate in spiritual gifts even if you'd rather remain unseen and unheard! And, yes, it's part of human nature to care what others think of us . . . but we can come out of that tomb of fear of others' approval! Breaking free from the fear of others' opinions opens up an empowering spiritual pathway.

Noticing, Discerning, and Responding to the Voices in Your Head

Join this encouraging conversation between two vibrant women in spiritually mature seasons of life. They've transcended the Female Age Myth and speak of how it's never too late to fulfill your calling or to change! A founding partner of Unhurried Living, Inc.—a non-profit that trains people to rest deeper, live fuller, and lead better—Gem Fadling explains a process for responding to unhelpful thoughts, including those from an "Anxious Controller" inner voice, based on her latest book, Hold That Thought.

From Pieces of Paper to Peace of Mind.

Speaker, Author, Certified Productive Environment Specialist, organizer, and TV host of PrepTalk-Custom Organizing on winwinwomen.tv, Ann Cueva speaks sweetly and wisely about preparing for medical emergencies and the inevitable end-of-life. Her clients and readers rave about the benefits of Peace of Mind available now through her simple and easy approach to gathering needed information so family members won't have to do that while in a state of grief. No perfectionism or shame, nothing depressing: this is about an easy approach to completing a crucial task as a gift for the whole family, both now (for the peace of mind) and for later (for the ease it brings when most appreciated). She also shares other nuggets of wisdom, including a "no worries" approach to life.

Today's guest is Bette Helaine Harrison, the author of "What’s a Nice Jewish Girl Like Me Doing in the Catholic Church? A Truly Miraculous Conversion." Identifying herself as "a completed Jew,” Bette talks about her recent year-long study on Guardian Angels, which deepened her understanding of their role. She shares the varied manifestations of angels in our lives, their protective nature, and also discusses how to differentiate between an angel of God and a fallen angel trying to deceive. The podcast is full of supernatural experiences that Bette has witnessed, including one that saved her life.
