In this episode, we talk about what it feels like to be stuck, going in circles, and trying to find our way back to where we are supposed to be.

In this episode of the Trauma to Testimony podcast, we continue The Gospel Is For Me series by walking through Luke 7:36-50, the powerful story of Jesus and the sinful woman. We talk about what it means to feel unworthy, ashamed, or disqualified because of our past and how Jesus meets us right in that place.

This episode is for the woman who feels like her past is too messy, too painful, or too heavy to be used by God. Healing Bestie, you are not disqualified. You are seen. You are loved.

| Victory in Christ Comes With a Cost | Following Jesus Requires Surrender | Gospel Is For Me Series | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:30:54 | |
The Gospel Is For Me Series | Victory in Christ Comes With a Cost | Following Jesus Requires Surrender | Trauma to Testimony What does it really mean to walk in victory with Christ? And why does following Jesus require surrender? In this episode of the Trauma to Testimony podcast, Toni shares a powerful message about the cost of victory in the Christian life. Many believers celebrate the promise of victory in Christ, but the Bible shows us that true victory often requires laying down our own plans, desires, and comfort to follow God's will. Through biblical teaching and personal testimony, Toni explores what it looks like to surrender our lives to Jesus and trust Him with our healing, our past, and our future. This episode is especially encouraging for Christian women healing from trauma who are learning to trust God again and walk boldly in their testimony. If you have ever struggled with letting go of control, forgiving others, or choosing obedience over comfort, this conversation will remind you that the victory Christ offers is always worth the cost of surrender. Reflection Questions: • Why victory in Christ sometimes requires surrender Key Scriptures: Matthew 16:25 Revelation 12:11 The Trauma to Testimony podcast encourages Christian women healing from trauma to grow in their relationship with God, discover biblical truth for emotional healing, and boldly walk in their testimony through Christ.

| The Gospel Is For Me: The Power of Your Testimony in Christ | Revelation 12:11 Bible Teaching | 06 Mar 2026 | 00:32:37 | |
In this episode of the Trauma to Testimony podcast, we begin diving into the heart of the gospel and the power of a believer’s testimony in Christ. Through a deep look at Revelation 12:11, we explore what it truly means to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Many Christian women who have experienced trauma wrestle with their story. They wonder how their past could ever become a testimony that honors God. In this conversation, we unpack the biblical truth that victory has already been secured through Jesus and that your testimony is a witness to the transforming work of Christ in your life. We also explore how spiritual victory does not mean the absence of suffering but the presence of Christ within it. When we anchor our identity in Jesus, we can stand firm against fear, doubt, shame, and the lies of the enemy. If you have ever struggled with your story or wondered how God could use your life for His glory, this episode will remind you that your testimony is powerful because it reveals the victory of Christ working within you.

| The Gospel Is For Me : Why Christian Women Must Stay Teachable to Heal | 27 Feb 2026 | 00:25:42 | |
In this episode of the Trauma to Testimony podcast, we lean into what it truly means to have a teachable spirit as Christian women healing from trauma. So often trauma has taught us to rely on ourselves. It has taught us control, distraction, self protection, and temporary fixes. We may have searched for comfort in self help, trends, or anything that promises relief. But what if real healing begins when we sit at the feet of Jesus? Through the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38 to 42, the encounter in Genesis 3, and the promise of the Holy Spirit, we are reminded that the Gospel is not just good news in theory. It is personal. It is for us. In this episode, we explore: • Why a teachable spirit is essential for healing As Christian women walking through healing, we are invited back to positioning. Back to surrender. Back to intimacy with God. The Gospel is the eternal solution for our weary hearts. And in this season, we are choosing to be teachable. We are choosing to sit at His feet. We are choosing His way over ours. Because the Gospel is for us. Jesus is for us.

| The Gospel Is for Me: An Opening Prayer for Healing, Surrender, and Revival | 06 Feb 2026 | 00:14:25 | |
Hey Healing Bestie!! This episode marks the sacred beginning of The Gospel Is for Me series on the Trauma to Testimony podcast. Instead of teaching or storytelling, this episode is an opening prayer—a moment to pause, surrender, and invite the Holy Spirit to lead us into healing, truth, and transformation. For many trauma survivors, believing that the gospel is truly for us can feel difficult. Pain, shame, and past experiences can distort how we see God, ourselves, and our story. In this prayer, we intentionally lay down those lenses and ask God to realign our hearts with His truth. This prayer invites God to:
There is no rush here. No pressure to perform. Just space for the Holy Spirit to move. If you are feeling weary, disconnected, uncertain, or in need of renewal, let this prayer be a place where you simply sit with God and allow Him to meet you where you are. In this episode, we are walking into:

Through Psalm 139:23-24 and Luke 6:45, we explore why we feel what we feel, how our emotions show up during the holidays, and how God lovingly cares for the condition of our hearts. Together we talk about: If you’ve been feeling the weight of this season, I want you to know that we see you, and God sees you. We can return to Him, and He will renew us. Let’s walk into this holiday season with honesty, softness, and Scripture guiding us every step of the way.

| Post-Fast Reflections: What God Revealed in 40 Days and How We Continue Returning | 24 Nov 2025 | 01:17:36 | |
In this post-fast reflection, we look back on what God revealed over the 40 days of the Returning Daughter Fast and how we can continue living from a place of devotion, surrender, and intimacy with Him. Together we reflect on how God meets us with compassion in our weakness, how Jesus understands every part of our journey, how fasting shifts us from striving to stillness, and how the real transformation happens inside of us long before it shows up in our circumstances. This episode gently invites us to remain seated at the feet of Jesus, to stay anchored in His presence, and to carry the work He began into our next season.

| Day 40| Go in Power, Courage and Testimony | 14 Nov 2025 | 00:34:41 | |
Welcome to Day 40 of The Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we rejoice in all God has done, all He has restored, and all He is sending us into. As we meditate on 2 Timothy 1:7–8, we remember that God has given us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. We do not shrink back. We rise as daughters who have returned, been renewed, and are now sent to live boldly for Christ. In this devotion, we reflect on how God has carried us, transformed us, and filled us with His Spirit. We look back with gratitude and look forward with courage. Christ has restored us, strengthened us, and now commissions us to live as vessels of His truth in our homes, marriages, families, communities, and the world. In this devotion we reflect on:

| Day 39 | Beauty for Ashes: Living in God’s Favor and Promise | 13 Nov 2025 | 00:23:00 | |
Welcome to Day 39 of The Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Isaiah 61:1–3 and the promise that God exchanges our ashes for beauty, our mourning for joy, and our despair for praise. Even when life feels uncertain, God is still moving, restoring, and redeeming every part of our story for His glory. In this devotion, we reflect on how God’s favor surrounds us even in hard seasons, how He turns loss into testimony, and how His justice and goodness never fail. We are reminded that healing is not just about what’s gone—it’s about what’s being birthed within us as we grow closer to Him. In this devotion we reflect on:

Welcome to Day 38 of The Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we continue reflecting on Luke 15:20 — the story of the prodigal son — and the truth that even when we feel far from God, His love never leaves us. In this devotion, we’re reminded that God still sees us from a distance, still runs toward us, and still restores our identity, authority, and belonging. As we near the end of this fast, we pause to dismantle the lie that God has left us. Even in silence, He is watching. Even in struggle, He is near. His mercy is immediate, His presence unchanging, and His justice sure. In this devotion we will reflect on:

Welcome to Day 37 of The Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Luke 15:11–32 and the truth that no matter how far we’ve gone or how long we’ve wrestled, God has never stopped waiting for us. In this devotion, we reflect on the heart of the Father who runs toward His children — not away from them — and how His love dismantles the lie that He has ever left us. As we journey through the story of the prodigal son, we are reminded that our return is not about shame, but about grace. God is not counting our failures; He is preparing our restoration.

| Day 36 | You Will Be My Witnesses: Empowered by the Holy Spirit to Walk Boldly in Testimony | 10 Nov 2025 | 00:22:12 | |
Welcome to Day 36 of The Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today, we reflect on Acts 1:8 and the call to live as witnesses of God’s power, grace, and mercy. The same Spirit that filled the early disciples now fills us—equipping us to stand firm, forgive, love, and walk boldly in our testimony. In this devotional, we remember that being a witness is not about performance or platforms—it’s about living a life that reflects God’s truth and light in every moment. As we near the final days of this fast, we pause to thank God for His Spirit that comforts, counsels, and strengthens us daily. Let’s draw near to the Holy Spirit, rest in His guidance, and carry His light into the world as living testimonies of His glory. #ReturningDaughterFast #TraumaToTestimony #FaithJourney #HolySpirit #HealingBestie #ChristianPodcast 💌 Join the Returning Daughter Fast: https://mailchi.mp/traumatotestimony/returning-daughter-40-day-fast-landing-page Grab the Returning Daughter Prayer & Fasting Guide here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c2BnAuUvFtC426x6TyoSRCpO9QoGegpG/view?usp=sharing Share your testimony with us here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5QGEio8CQ0cnYmntduWOtoZpl8EJR5LMDPvxTmbBKcAkgWg/viewform?usp=header Helpful Links & Resources: She Is Redeemed Devotional on Amazon: https://a.co/d/gu5p4SM She Is Redeemed Bible Plan – YouVersion She Is Redeemed Visit the Website: http://www.traumatotestimony.org Join the Healing Besties Group: http://facebook.com/groups/healingbesties | |||
| Day 35 | Confidently Resting in God: Trusting the One Who Makes All Things New | 09 Nov 2025 | 00:16:43 | |
Welcome to Day 35 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today, we are learning how to confidently rest in the Lord — to trust His renewal even when we cannot see it yet. Our focus is Revelation 21:5, where God declares, “Behold, I am making all things new.” In this devotion, we reflect on what it means to rest while God rebuilds, to trust His timing when the process feels long, and to find confidence in the truth that His work is trustworthy and true. Together, we remember that our part is to behold — to stay watchful, prayerful, and surrendered — as God recreates what could never exist without His touch. In this episode, we reflect on:
Let’s take a deep breath, release what we’ve been holding, and rest in the truth that He is making all things new — even here, even now. 💌 Join the Returning Daughter Fast: https://mailchi.mp/traumatotestimony/returning-daughter-40-day-fast-landing-page Grab the Returning Daughter Prayer & Fasting Guide here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c2BnAuUvFtC426x6TyoSRCpO9QoGegpG/view?usp=sharing Share your testimony with us here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5QGEio8CQ0cnYmntduWOtoZpl8EJR5LMDPvxTmbBKcAkgWg/viewform?usp=header Helpful Links & Resources: She Is Redeemed Devotional on Amazon: https://a.co/d/gu5p4SM She Is Redeemed Bible Plan – YouVersion She Is Redeemed Visit the Website: http://www.traumatotestimony.org Join the Healing Besties Group: http://facebook.com/groups/healingbesties | |||
| Day 34 | Seated in God’s Presence: Finding Peace in the Stillness | 08 Nov 2025 | 00:16:46 | |
Welcome to Day 34 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today, we slow down and talk about what it means to be seated in God’s presence—to release perfection, surrender our striving, and let God meet us in the middle of our emotions. Together, we reflect on how healing and transformation begin when we stop trying to fix everything and simply rest in His presence. Like Job, David, and Moses, we learn that God has space for our tears, our questions, and our praise. Being still doesn’t mean doing nothing—it means trusting that God is doing the deep work within us. In this devotion we reflect on:
Let’s draw near, find our seat at His feet, and remember: even when everything shifts, He remains steady. 💌 Join the Returning Daughter Fast: https://mailchi.mp/traumatotestimony/returning-daughter-40-day-fast-landing-page Grab the Returning Daughter Prayer & Fasting Guide here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c2BnAuUvFtC426x6TyoSRCpO9QoGegpG/view?usp=sharing Share your testimony with us here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5QGEio8CQ0cnYmntduWOtoZpl8EJR5LMDPvxTmbBKcAkgWg/viewform?usp=header Helpful Links & Resources: She Is Redeemed Devotional on Amazon: https://a.co/d/gu5p4SM She Is Redeemed Bible Plan – YouVersion She Is Redeemed Visit the Website: http://www.traumatotestimony.org Join the Healing Besties Group: http://facebook.com/groups/healingbesties | |||
| Day 33 | Seeing Through God’s Eyes: Trusting the Seeds He’s Already Planted | 07 Nov 2025 | 00:26:55 | |
Welcome to Day 33 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today, we’re talking about shifting our perspective — learning to see the hand of God at work in places that don’t look finished yet. So often we focus on what hasn’t bloomed, but God is reminding us that He’s been planting all along. When we pause and look back, we realize God has already gone before us — planting people, opportunities, and moments of grace that will meet us right when we need them. Our waiting seasons are not wasted; they’re watering seasons. God is faithful to bring to life what He has planted. In this devotion, we see how God has consistently plants us in the right places, even when it didn’t feel like it. From connections that became divine assignments to moments of grace that confirmed His promises, we see that His timing is never random. Together, we’ll reflect on how to look beyond what we can see and trust that God’s promises are unfolding even now. Biblical Reflection: In this devotion we reflect on:

| Day 32 | Grace in Our Weakness: Finding Strength Through Surrender | 06 Nov 2025 | 00:27:06 | |
Welcome to Day 32 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 and remember that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness. We don’t have to hold it all together; we only have to hold onto Him. Together, we rest in the truth that grace is not earned—it’s given. In our most vulnerable moments, God shows up with love that strengthens, heals, and carries us. We are learning that faith is not about appearing strong, but about trusting the One who is strong for us. In this devotion we reflect on:

| Day 31 | God Is Giving Us a New Heart | 06 Nov 2025 | 00:12:53 | |
Welcome to Day 31 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we sit with Ezekiel 36:26-27 and reflect on how God is giving us a new heart and a new spirit. As we’ve been returning to Him, He’s been trading the places in us that are weary, guarded, and broken for hearts that are soft, responsive, and filled with His Spirit. Together, we remember that healing is not about perfection but about allowing God to do the deep work within us. When we surrender the hard parts of our hearts, He replaces them with His tenderness, love, and strength. In this devotion we reflect on:

| Day 30 | A Heartfelt Pause: Trusting God in the Middle of Our Story | 04 Nov 2025 | 00:10:57 | |
Dear Healing Besties, As I write this, my heart is tender and reflective and honestly this is so hard if I can be honest. Over the past two weeks, I’ve received some devastating news at the top of last week that has been tough to navigate through and towards the end of the week experienced a personal loss that has deeply impacted me and my family. In this season, I sense the Lord calling me to pause, to rest at His feet, and to allow Him to carry my heart through the waves of grief and healing. As a minister and leader, I have always believed in serving from a place of wholeness and integrity and not perfection, but a heart that is aligned with God’s presence. And right now, that means stepping back for a time so that I can let the Lord minister to me the same way I’ve encouraged so many of you to let Him minister to you. We are now on Day 30 of the Returning Daughter Fast, and I am so proud of every single one of you who has said yes to returning to God with your whole heart. Whether you’ve been walking through it day by day or joining in spirit, I want to encourage you to see it through to Day 40. God is doing something beautiful in your obedience, and I truly believe your faith will not go unrewarded. I don’t yet know when I’ll return to leading in ministry spaces, but I do know that this pause is holy and it’s necessary. And I trust that the same God who has carried me this far will continue to carry me and all of you with grace and mercy. Thank you for the prayers, love, and support that so many of you have shown to me and my family. I feel them. I see them. And I am grateful. Just know that I am holding each of you, my Healing Besties close to my heart and in prayer and I just know even though I can not see it that God has a bigger plan in the midst of all of this. I trust Him and I love Him with all my heart. Most importantly I know that He will finish what He started and complete a good work. Until I return, may we each remember that God’s heart is near to the brokenhearted, and He never stops redeeming our stories even in the silent, tender places. I love you Healing Bestie and Jesus loves you so much! Toni Your Healing Bestie 💜 “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3 | |||
| Day 29 | Renewing Our Minds: Let God Transform the Way We Think | 03 Nov 2025 | 00:36:01 | |
Welcome to Day 29 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Romans 12:1-2 and the truth that transformation begins in the mind. God is inviting us to release old thoughts, surrender the patterns that keep us stuck, and allow His Spirit to renew how we see ourselves and the world around us. Together, we slow down to be still before the Father — not striving, not performing, but simply being His daughters. Renewal is not about perfection; it’s about letting God reshape our beliefs, our hearts, and our desires until they reflect His will. In this devotion, we reflect on:

| Day 28 | Something Has to Shift: A Prayer of Faith, Fire, and Return | 02 Nov 2025 | 00:14:17 | |
Welcome to Day 28 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today’s devotional is different. Together, we press into God’s presence with prayer, worship, and declaration. This is a moment of faith, fire, and returning — a time to lay everything before God and believe that something has to shift. In this prayer-led devotion, we cry out for breakthrough, restoration, and renewed faith. We ask God to shake up what needs to move, restore what’s been lost, and remind us who we are as His daughters. As we close out our week of faith and trust, we take our rightful seat at the Father’s feet and declare that no weapon formed against us will prosper. In this devotion, we reflect on:

| Day 27 | Rooted in God’s Presence: Trust That Stands Through Every Season | 01 Nov 2025 | 00:30:04 | |
Welcome to Day 27 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Jeremiah 17:7–8 and reflect on what it means to be planted in God’s presence. When our roots go deep in Him, we learn to trust even in the middle of uncertainty. Together, we are reminded that faith is not shaken by circumstances but strengthened through them. In this heartfelt devotional, we talk about resting at God’s feet, trusting His timing, and believing that He will provide even in the dry seasons. Like a tree planted by streams of water, our leaves stay green, and we continue to bear fruit because our source is not the world — it’s Him. In this devotion, we reflect on:

| Day 26 | Help My Unbelief: Strengthening Faith Through the Fire | 31 Oct 2025 | 00:33:40 | |
Welcome to Day 26 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Mark 9:14–29 and reflect on the father who cried out to Jesus, “I believe; help my unbelief.” Together, we are reminded that faith is not about perfection but about honest surrender. There are moments when believing feels hard and prayers seem unanswered, yet God still meets us there. As we walk through this devotion, we learn that Jesus never turns away from weak faith — He transforms it. Our doubts don’t disqualify us; they draw us closer to the One who strengthens what feels fragile. In this devotion, we reflect on:

| Day 25 | Faith Is Assurance: Seeing God’s Hand Through Every Season | 30 Oct 2025 | 00:30:16 | |
Welcome to Day 25 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Hebrews 11:1 and remember that faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance in what we do not see.

| Day 24 | Unshakable Faith: Trusting God Through the Testing of Time | 29 Oct 2025 | 00:26:06 | |
Welcome to Day 24 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Hebrews 11:1 and reflect on what it truly means to have faith — confidence in what we hope for and assurance in what we do not see. In this devotional, Toni Simmons-Husband reminds us that faith is not about proof or perfect circumstances but about trusting God’s heart through every season. Even when life feels uncertain, we can hold steady because God’s character is consistent, His promises are sure, and His love endures. As we rebuild our faith this week, we’re invited to return to the quiet place, release control, and remember that faith grows strongest in stillness and surrender. In this devotion, we reflect on:

Welcome to Day 23 of the Returning Daughter 40-Day Fast. Today we meditate on Proverbs 3:5–6 and lean into the call to trust in the Lord with all our heart. This devotion reminds us that faith begins where understanding ends, and trusting God means letting go of control and surrendering every plan back into His hands. In this heartfelt message, we share how God builds trust through intimacy and consistency — how walking with Him daily transforms uncertainty into steady peace.

He had a plan for us to belong to Him, to be fully received as His daughters, and to live from a place of security in His presence. In this devotion, we reflect together on what it means to be fully accepted by God and to let go of feelings of rejection, fear, or unworthiness.
