156. Do You Find It Hard to Listen to the Holy Spirit? | Heather Gaffney21 Jan 202600:11:54

Welcome to Episode 156 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

For much of my life, I think I just went through the motions in my faith: doing things out of duty, checking the boxes, punching my timecard. 

Can anyone relate?

I had this mindset that God needed to hit me over the head with a 2x4 or flash a neon sign to get my attention. I'm sad to say, I got that 2x4 a few times.

Preaching on the Gospel of John, Chapter 1, discussing the first apostles, my priest talked about a simple line in verse 39. A line many people may not pay attention to: "It was about 4 in the afternoon."

Why is that there? In his interpretation, my priest said that it was a significant enough event that they wanted to remember the moment they met the Messiah.

Then he asked us to think about when we first encountered Jesus, really met Him.

I'd have to say, for me, it was when I began to homeschool my kids and teach them the faith.

It's not that I didn't have faith or believe before that. It's that I didn't internalize it. It wasn't personal.

So, no wonder I needed that 2x4.

In this week's episode, I talk about listening to the Holy Spirit. We can't truly hear the Spirit's whispering if we're not paying attention. I share part of my story of hearing the Holy Spirit, paying attention, and eventually listening.

155. The Body of Christ: The Vine and Its Branches | Heather Gaffney14 Jan 202600:12:21

Welcome to Episode 155 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

To kick off our stories this year, I am starting with one of my own.

Are you familiar with the term: "The Body of Christ?" Jesus said that He was the vine and we are the branches. That speaks to me of a divine connection to form a body.

A body, human or a grapevine, is connected and has many members or parts. And I love this connection between Christ and us.

But I got to experience the design of the Body of Christ in action during the month of December. And, in this case, this body spanned multiple states.

Join me as I share the beauty I experienced at the hands of several members of the Body of Christ.

 

Episodes I mentioned:

Tonya Kubo - Episode 28

Kerri Bishop - Episode 44

146. How Do You Begin Again When You Say Words You Regret? | Kylie Hein02 Dec 202500:50:21

Welcome to Episode 146 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

Have you ever said or done something you later regretted? My guess is that most of you reading this answered, "Yes."

I think we all do it.

Sometimes we are able to fix it - make amends - and sometimes, we can't. At least not the way we might want to fix it.

This week, I speak with a woman who said some harsh words and made a decision for which she had some regret. And before they had a chance to come face-to-face, something awful happened.

Like so many times on this podcast, Kylie took that situation and changed her life. Instead of wallowing in the "why," she started asking, "What now?"

That perspective shift, and her developing faith in God, put her on a path to learn from this situation - to find beauty in her suffering - and to use it to help other women through coaching and spiritual direction.

I hope you enjoy this conversation with Kylie!

56. A Daughter's Devastating Diagnosis ~ Cancer Story with Dineen Miller21 Jan 202500:53:45

Welcome to Episode 56 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

It's hard enough to hear your own devastating diagnosis, but what about when that diagnosis involves your child?

Sure, both involve questions, fears, worries, and extreme emotions, but the way you react to that news may be completely different.

This week, long-time online friend - who I'd love to meet & hug in person someday - Dineen joins me to talk about her daughter's diagnosis and how she walked through this incredible storm.

55. Bits Of Biblical Beauty ~ What Is Beauty?17 Jan 202500:07:39

Welcome to Episode 55 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

It may be episode 55 on the podcast, but this is the first episode of a segment called Bits of Biblical Beauty. These are short episodes centering around one concept of beauty. 

We're not talking about the hair & makeup aisles at your local big box store. These concepts of beauty come from a biblical perspective. I am not a biblical scholar so these are my interpretations after both research and prayer.

I hope you enjoy these short, sweet episodes.

51. Christmas Isn't Always the Same for Trauma Survivors - I See You24 Dec 202400:14:19

Welcome to Episode 51 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

This episode is my Christmas message, and I share some things that may help, or at least provoke thought, as you navigate this season of profound peace, love, and joy when, perhaps, those are not the feelings you are experiencing.

Know that you are seen and loved. Period.

Whatever you are walking through right now, no matter your situation, I see you. But more importantly, God sees you and is walking beside you. Maybe He's even carrying you through.

I hope you find some comfort in this episode. You are not alone.

47. Diagnosed with Cancer at a Young Age Fueled Her Fire to Help Others Share Their Stories with April Stearns26 Nov 202400:52:13

Welcome to Episode 47 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

Cancer is a disease of older people, right?

Sadly, this is not true. Children, teens, and young adults are being diagnosed more and more. What do you do if you're the only one you know who is undergoing cancer treatment as a young adult with a baby at home?

There are no support groups. There's no one to contact who is currently in treatment or has survived for you to connect with.

Now, there are online groups for just about anything you can imagine, but 10, 15, or 20 years ago? Not-so-much.

April navigated this difficult time in her life in a world without much social media and no local groups for women her age. But she didn't let it stop her!

She instead, allowed it to light a fire - a fire that would burn and grow into a wildfire supporting women 50ish or younger who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Tune in to learn what she did, and continues to do, with that fire!

46. Surviving Pregnancy: The Trauma of Medically Difficult Births with Brigid Tebaldi19 Nov 202400:43:00

Welcome to Episode 46 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

Pregnancy is something women have been experiencing since the beginning of time. Some women have phenomenal experiences, and others' experiences can be downright horrendous. Sadly, there are many reasons for this.

In this week's episode, I speak with Brigid, who has had five different experiences - one of which literally tore her up inside. And yet she went on to have more children.

How does someone do this? 

How do we continue to do something that hurts us? Well, we find a way to make it not hurt so badly.

Listen in to discover what Brigid did and how she's now helping other women.

Welcome to Episode 45 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

November is typically associated with gratitude (and maybe football and family feasting!).

To that end, I wanted to share some thoughts on gratitude, my personal experiences of gratitude while walking through storms, and ways you can consider gratitude as you walk through your own storms.

44. Divorce & Being a Single Mom - What is Free-Will? with Kerri Bishop05 Nov 202400:52:39

Welcome to Episode 44 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

Being a single mom is hard. Being the single mom of five boys is harder.

I'm pretty sure we've all heard about the concept of free will, but just in case, it's the gift from God that allows us to make our own decisions.

I used the word 'gift' intentionally because sometimes - usually when someone doesn't behave the way we want them to behave - we don't see it as the gift it is.

Kerri experienced that several years ago when her husband made a decision, using his free will, that impacted the lives of many people. In this episode, she admits to wanting God to change her husband's mind - thus taking away his free will.

I believe we have all experienced something like this. Tune in to hear what happened and what Kerri chose to do instead.

43. Breast Cancer: Perspective & Passions with Cancer Crusher Fitz Koehler29 Oct 202400:57:14

Welcome to Episode 43 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month AND Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I WAS a victim of both and now I am a SURVIVOR. I am dedicating these five episodes in October to:

#StompOutBreastCancer

and

#StompOutDomesticViolence

 

It's the last Tuesday of October! And our October Awareness Series is ending in a powerful way!

 

My guest, Fitz, is no stranger to microphones or to speaking. In fact, her job involves both. But what does a fitness innovator and race announcer do when she's hit with a breast cancer diagnosis?

 

Was she sidelined? No. She got noisy, put things into perspective, and kept doing what she loved.

 

Tune in to learn about Fitz Koehler's response to breast cancer and how she crushed it.

 

Please share these episodes with people in your lives who need to hear them. You may just save a life...

42. Light on the Path of Freedom from Domestic Violence with April T. Giauque22 Oct 202400:56:16

Welcome to Episode 42 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month AND Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I WAS a victim of both and now I am a SURVIVOR. I am dedicating these five episodes in October to:

#StompOutBreastCancer

and

#StompOutDomesticViolence

 

It's the 4th week of October! In this week's Awareness episode, my conversation is with a woman who has become a cheerleader for women who live with domestic violence and now helps them to find their voices.

But that was not always the case. She, too, lived in fear for herself and for her children. She had to find creative ways to protect them from the insanity brewing in her household.

Like Hansel & Gretel's breadcrumb trail, April T. Giauque discovered points of light that God was leaving as a trail for her to follow on her journey to escape the darkness.

Tune in to learn about those pinpoints of light, how they led her out of darkness, and how she is now helping others to find their voices.

 

Please share these episodes with people in your lives who need to hear them. You may just save a life...

Tanya Harris Roundy is an author, teacher, singer, actress, director, and more! In her life, she has experienced many losses and experiences of bullying - some in her childhood and others in her adult life. Trauma is a reality we all experience, not just once, but multiple times. The possibility of trauma doesn't just stop when we've hit a certain age or number of traumas.

Sometimes, we just need someone in our lives to help us find certainty.

37. Taking STEPs to Thrive After Surviving a Traumatic Brain Injury with Nick Prefontaine17 Sep 202400:57:22

Welcome to Episode 37 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

Nick Prefontaine's parents were told that he would never walk or talk again. Well, he's a guest on the podcast, so at least half of that is not true. And I'm going to let him reveal in his own words what happened to the other half of that prognosis.

Yes, sometimes doctors get it wrong. They are human, and all humans make mistakes. But sometimes it's not so much about the doctors' prognoses as it is about the STEPs we take.

Listen in to find out how Nick not only survived, but thrived!

144. My Plans or God's Orchestration ~ Which Is Better?25 Nov 202500:21:48

Welcome to Episode 144 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

Are you a planner? Do you like to have every detail accounted for, and basically like to have it your way?

Do you ever pray like you're at the Burger King drive-through?

Well, as much as we may not like it, God does not answer prayers like Burger King offers to let you have it your way.

Through a series of medical challenges, I've discovered (to no one's surprise) that God's orchestrations are better than my plans. And while this particular orchestration is not how I wanted it, or would have planned it myself, I am seeing that, as usual, He is right.

So, while this episode was meant to be an update with some practical information, it turned into another reminder - mostly for myself - that His thoughts are above my thoughts, and His ways are higher than my ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).

I hope there are some nuggets in here for you as well. Plus, I did still include the practical information.

This week, I'm acknowledging that we all can experience trauma through everyday occurrences. These traumas can cause us to feel some of the same ways and ask some of the same questions as those more intense traumas.

35. The Consequence of Bitterness and Resentment on the Path of Forgiveness | Dr. Carron Silva03 Sep 202400:39:19

Welcome to Episode 35 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

In this episode, I am airing an interview conducted by Dr. Carron Silva on the Forgiveness is For YOU podcast with yours truly!

 

We discussed my forgiveness journey as it pertained to my marriage. She also asked me about my feelings of bitterness and resentment. I'm sure it is not surprising that these feelings, when we hold onto them, can impede healing and the ability to forgive.

 

Stay tuned to the end to hear my thoughts on the interview. NOTE: There is no video version of this episode; it is audio only.

34. Life After Kidnapping: Extreme Measures & Additional Trauma | Part Two with Lauren Burns27 Aug 202400:52:56

Welcome to Episode 34 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

This is Part Two of a 2-part series. Here is Part One.

In Part Two, Lauren Burns and I discuss what her life was like once she returned to her family in the United States; including the extreme measures they had to take. We also talk a bit about the made-for-TV movie - Desperate Rescue - that was released about her experience.

Lauren also shares about another tragedy that occurred while she was an adult, a mother of a young son just a few years older than she was at the time of her kidnapping.

 

This conclusion is a must-listen.

33. How Do You Discover Beauty When You're Kidnapped By Your Father? With Lauren Burns20 Aug 202401:02:42

Welcome to Episode 33 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

This is Part One of a 2-part series.

In this episode, my guest, Lauren Burns, and I talk about her abduction by a family member. And if that wasn't scary enough for a child, she was taken out of the country where she was born and placed into an entirely new culture where things were very different.

Lauren shares about the many people impacted by this one act, including her mother, many family members, family friends, and former U.S. military members who prayed, fasted, plotted, planned, and surrendered in order to bring Lauren home.

 

This is a story you don't want to miss.

31. Love, Strength, and Persistence - Saving Life After Loss with Tasha Van Howe06 Aug 202400:46:29

Welcome to Episode 31 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

NOTE: I misstated the title of Tasha's book in my conclusion. The correct title is "Miss Me, Always" - please forgive me, Tasha.

This story is one of strength and persistence. But it is also one of darkness, advocating for oneself, and love. Tasha is generous with her story, which contains many chapters of sadness and frustration. But as she survives each chapter, she learns valuable lessons that she willingly shares.

Join us for this hope-filled conversation!

30. We Long to Belong, But What if Acceptance Comes with a Condition? with Brandice Lardner30 Jul 202400:34:48

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

Have you ever struggled with your weight?

What about body image?

And has either negatively impacted you and your life?

My guest, Brandice, began this struggle at age 14, and I'm sure many of us can relate in some way.

 

What would you have done - or maybe, what did you do - when faced with a condition as a requirement to belong to a specific group?

Welcome to Episode 27 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

A little while ago, I was honored when Dr. Lisa Hartwell invited me to be a guest on the Anxiety Ease Podcast. We had an interesting conversation about the ways high-functioning anxiety has played a role in my traumas and how I worked through them. Sometimes helpful; other times, not-so-much.

 

You don't have to have a medical diagnosis of anxiety to experience high-functioning anxiety. Join us as we discuss what this has looked like in my life, and make sure you check out the other episodes of the Anxiety Ease podcast!

26. Can Abortion and Forgiveness Co-Exist? Brittany Poppe Offers Hope and Healing After Trauma02 Jul 202400:36:37

Welcome to Episode 26 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

Does God Forgive Abortion? That is the heart of this week's episode. Brittany Poppe and I agree that this is a question that weighs heavily on many women's minds after their abortions. And it's a question that may lead many of those women to stay in their shame and guilt feelings and not seek help. But Brittany has a different answer; one that offers hope and healing.

Join us as Brittany Poppe shares her own story: why she made the choice she did, what happened after that decision, and what she's doing now to help other women.

142. Navigating Cultural Differences in Marriage | Brooke Joiner18 Nov 202500:52:46

Welcome to Episode 142 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

What happens when the Holy Spirit introduces you to your spouse in a country where you both are foreigners and you don't even speak the same language?

I was blessed to sit down with Brooke Joiner this week! She shares an interesting story of how she met and married her husband. It's not your typical story!

She shares with us the challenges created by the cultural differences she and her husband each brought to the marriage. The challenges create a more unique situation that can derail your relationship if you are not prayerful and intentional.

Brooke is delightful, and we shared many laughs during this conversation!

She shares about someone who stepped up when her son was newly diagnosed 20+ years ago. There were no podcasts and very few resources. While things have changed in the resource area today, Kim's experience sheds light on our continued need for community in all of our struggles.

14. Autism Awareness: Part 2, Continued Conversation About Acceptance of People on the Spectrum with Tristan09 Apr 202400:39:57

Welcome to Episode 14 of the Warrior Words podcast!

 

It's Autism Month! Whether you support Awareness or Acceptance - OR BOTH! - we are featuring autism stories in the month of April. Today, we have Part 2 of our Autism Journey, in which I discuss how the word autism entered my vocabulary, what it was like when Tristan was diagnosed, and what it is like now. 

Tristan is the young man working hard behind the scenes of the Warrior Words podcast! He composed both the intro and outro music, he stitches all the podcast parts together and makes edits where necessary, and he is the human behind @AgentSecret24 on YouTube - please subscribe to his channel (your kids may be his target audience!).

He may be silent on this episode, but I pray his words are heard loud and clear!
