  • Embodied Authority: Testimony, Pushback & Obedience (A Conversation with Wendy Melrose)
    Sep 29 2025
    🎙 Episode Summary Guest: Wendy Melrose, founder of Resilience Press … helping everyday visionaries transform trauma and testimony into published books. With 20+ years of entrepreneurship and six books in one year, Wendy champions Revelation 12:11: “They overcame by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” What This Episode Is About All September, we’ve explored “the weight of your voice”…what it costs, what it protects, and what it carries. This capstone conversation moves from concept to embodiment. Wendy opens her real-time journey: navigating misunderstanding and personal attacks, guarding her message and boundaries, discerning timing, and staying obedient when visibility, finances, and relationships are tested. It’s raw, faith-filled, and deeply practical. Core Themes When your voice is under fire: Why spiritual pushback often intensifies as you advance…and how to respond without offense or retaliation. Forgiveness & release: Laying pain at the cross, forgiving without an apology, and keeping your heart clean in conflict. Anointing → Authority → Assignment: Authority flows from intimacy and obedience, not platform or volume. Obedience over optics: “Listening and doing” even when results aren’t instant; letting God open the right doors at the right time. Boundaries that protect the blueprint: Faith, family, rest, and non-negotiables (refusing to hide your faith to “fit the room”). Testimony multiplies: Why one transformed life becomes many…your story is seed for generations. Provision & humility: Tithing, repentance, and practical faith for financial pressure (trusting God as Jehovah Jireh). Redefining ‘voice’: Your voice isn’t just a post or a platform…it’s your walk of obedience, one person at a time. Standout Moments Misunderstood & opposed: Wendy shares a fresh story of character attack, how a friend intervened, and how Holy Spirit led her to forgive and release. “Listening and doing” in 2023: A cascade of God-opened doors (business sale, moves) after daily meditation on Proverbs 16:3…followed by a hard lesson in waiting well. Never deny your faith: A past instance of hiding visible faith symbols for a corporate video and the spiritual flatline that followed…her repentance and firm boundary now. Money under pressure: Practical steps Wendy took (forgiveness, tithing, building a “storehouse,” declaring Scripture) that led to rapid turnaround. Legacy over likes: Why writing your testimony…published or simply saved for family…secures generational fruit. Scripture Threads Revelation 12:11 - Testimony as a weapon. Ephesians 6 - Our battle isn’t against flesh and blood. Proverbs 16:3 (AMP) - Commit your works; let Him establish the plan. Matthew 17:20 (KJV) - Mustard seed faith. Faith as a mustard seed grows and takes ground. Malachi 3:10 - Tithing and the storehouse. Practical Takeaways Guard your heart, not your brand. Forgive quickly; don’t wait for apologies. Obedience is the strategy. Ask daily: What is God asking me to do today? Do that…then wait when He says wait. Name your boundaries. Faith, family, rest, and message guardrails…decide them before pressure hits. Document God’s works. Journal wins and breakthroughs; your testimony is future seed for others (and your children). Use both your voice and your ears. Seek understanding before defense…online, at work, and at home. War wisely. Aim your anger at the real enemy, not people; respond in the opposite spirit. Reflection Questions (for listeners & community) Where do you feel your voice is most “under fire” right now…home, work, or online? What boundary would protect your God-given message this month? Where might God be asking you to wait…and what obedience looks like in the waiting? What testimony do you need to write down…if only for your family’s future? Notable Quotes “Not everyone who hurts you will apologize. Lay it at the cross and release them.” … Wendy “Authority is never about being louder…it’s about obedience.” … Angela “One changed life is never just ‘one’…it ripples into generations.” … Wendy“Your voice isn’t just what you post; it’s how you walk.” … Wendy Meet Our Guest Wendy Melrose is the founder of Resilience Press, where she helps people transform their trauma and testimony into powerful published books. With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience and six books published in one year, Wendy has built a streamlined, faith-driven process that empowers everyday visionaries to share their stories of victory.

  • When Calling Meets Resistance: Listening, Discernment, and the Power of the Pause
    Sep 22 2025

    Have you ever stepped into your assignment with confidence, only to hit unexpected resistance? In this deeply personal and unscripted conversation, Angela and Lisa wrestle with the tension of carrying a Kingdom message in a world where conflict, offense, and division feel louder than ever.

    Together, they explore:

    • Why pushback doesn’t mean you missed God and how to discern what’s really happening in moments of resistance.

    • How listening can shift everything, even when criticism feels personal or unfair.

    • The role of different life experiences and generational perspectives in shaping how people respond to truth.

    • Why anger itself isn’t the problem but what we do with it determines whether we build bridges or burn them.

    • The necessity of rest and discernment in a culture that demands constant response.

    • What it looks like to find common ground without compromise, and to choose understanding over defensiveness.

    This episode is both a sigh of relief and a call to courage. It reminds us that authority doesn’t come from always having the last word...it comes from being anointed, discerning, and rooted enough to pause when others rush to speak.

    ✨ Key Insight:

    In a noisy world, the Kingdom doesn’t need more arguments. It needs messengers who can listen deeply, respond wisely, and carry the weight of their words with authority and love.

  • Protecting the Sacred Blueprint with Lisa Vanderveen
    Sep 15 2025
    💬 Episode Summary:

    What if the next step in your business isn’t to scale, collaborate or publish - but to pause?

    In this deeply reflective episode, Lisa shares the sacred (and often misunderstood) invitation to protect the message God has given you. With warmth, wisdom and peace-infused clarity, she walks through her personal journey of receiving the Savah Method in layers - how God led her backward, built the framework through deep transformation and refined the blueprint behind the scenes before releasing it into the world.

    If you’ve ever wrestled with whether to partner, promote or pivot and wondered how to stay faithful to the assignment God has given you, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

    🔑 Key Takeaways:
    • Why protecting your message isn’t about fear. It’s about faithful stewardship

    • How Lisa built the Savah Method backwards, starting with the destination

    • The difference between pruning and punishment when your audience shrinks

    • Why not every opportunity to share your message is spiritually aligned

    • How true Kingdom partnership is built on trust, refinement and inner healing

    • What it looks like to let God mature the method before bringing it to market

    • The power of the pause and the beauty of building in secret

    • A powerful Imagination Activation to discern where God may be inviting you to wait, protect or release

    ✨ Imagination Activation:

    This episode includes a guided reflection where you’ll imagine Jesus sitting beside you in peace, helping you discern:

    • Where you’ve picked up assignments that weren’t yours

    • Where you’ve said yes to pressure instead of peace

    • Where He’s asking you to wait, guard or protect what’s still being formed

    You'll be invited to record what Holy Spirit shows you in your journal and carry it as a holy marker of trust and obedience.

  • Authority vs. Volume: Why Speaking Louder Isn’t the Same as Speaking With Authority
    Sep 8 2025
    🔎 Episode Summary:

    We live in a world that tells us to say more, post more, and be everywhere. But what if the Kingdom doesn’t need more noise? What if it needs voices that carry weight?

    In this episode, Angela Linville and Lisa Vanderveen unpack the critical difference between volume and authority...and why true Kingdom influence flows from anointing, not algorithms or applause.

    This conversation will challenge you to stop striving to be louder and start cultivating the kind of authority that shifts atmospheres at home, at work, online, and in every sphere God has called you to.

    🛠️ What You’ll Learn:
    • Why authority flows from anointing and can’t be manufactured

    • How to recognize the difference between noise and words that carry weight

    • Why consistency at home is one of the greatest tests of spiritual authority

    • Rhythms and disciplines that help you cultivate intimacy with God so your voice has staying power

    • How to live and lead with authority in your online presence, workplace, and family

    💬 Notable Quotes:

    “Volume tries to get attention. Authority commands it.” “You don’t have to shout to be heard when Heaven has anointed your voice.” “The Kingdom doesn’t need louder voices. It needs rooted ones.” “Without anointing, authority burns out. With anointing, authority multiplies.”

    ✨ Reflection Questions:
    • Where have you been relying on volume instead of cultivating authority?

    • What does authority (not loudness) look like in your current season?

    • What rhythms could help you move from striving for visibility into walking in Spirit-led authority?

  • When Pushback Proves You’re on the Right Path: How to Fortify When Resistance Finds You
    Sep 1 2025
    Episode Summary

    Have you ever stepped into your assignment with confidence, only to hit unexpected resistance?

    In this first conversation of our September series, Fortifying the Messenger, Angela unpacks why pushback often shows up right after you step into your calling, what it really means, and how to stand your ground without striving or burning out.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why resistance often confirms your calling instead of disproving it

    • How to discern between spiritual warfare, natural obstacles, and distractions

    • Why fortification must happen before the pressure hits, not during

    • How to anchor your voice so you stay steadfast when the enemy tries to wear you down

    This isn’t about hustling harder. It’s about standing rooted in what God has entrusted to you...no matter what comes against you.

    Scripture References
    • Nehemiah 6:3 - “I am carrying on a great project and cannot come down.”

    • Ephesians 6:13 - “Put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground.”

    September Series Overview: Fortifying the Messenger

    This episode kicks off a powerful month where we’re unpacking the foundations every Kingdom messenger needs:

    • Week 1: When Pushback Proves You’re on the Right Path - how to fortify your voice when resistance finds you.

    • Week 2: Authority vs. Volume - why speaking louder isn’t the same as speaking with power.

    • Week 3: Protecting the Blueprint - guarding your God-given message from dilution.

    • Week 4: Assignment-Driven Visibility - aligning opportunities with divine timing instead of chasing every platform.

    Listener Invitation

    If you’ve been feeling the weight of resistance, don’t give up. You’re not off-track...you’re advancing.

    Take time this week to pause, fortify, and lean into the One who called you. Your voice matters more than you know.

    What if your lack of results isn’t about your strategy or method… but your alignment?

    You’ve been showing up. Pouring your heart into your business. Building offers. Posting content. Wearing every hat.

    And yet…

    The fruit doesn’t match the effort.

    Let's fix that in the next 30 days.

  • An Open Letter to the Wounded, the Wandering, and the Watching
    Aug 18 2025
    🔎 Episode Summary:

    This month’s Kingdom Rising: Courageous Conversation goes straight to the heart.

    We’re talking about reconciliation, wounds caused in the name of God, and what it really means to build with support.

    In this live conversation, Angela Linville shares a letter that’s been burning on her heart to four groups of people:

    • The Wounded – those cut by the very people meant to represent Christ

    • The Wandering – those who still love Jesus but struggle to re-engage with His people

    • The Watching – those observing from the outside, questioning if it’s real or just performance

    • The Treacherous – those who, knowingly or not, have misrepresented the Father’s heart and caused harm

    Together with live participants, we unpack what reconciliation really looks like, not as a theological concept, but as a lived reality.

    🛠️ What We Talk About:
    • Why reconciliation is the heartbeat of the gospel (2 Corinthians 5:16–21)

    • How we’ve gotten repentance backwards - making it the entry fee instead of the fruit of encountering God’s kindness

    • The difference between judgment that walls people out and invitation that opens the door

    • What it means to build with support in messy seasons - carrying one another until healing takes root

    • How Kingdom leaders can create safe spaces for people to come home

    💬 Notable Quotes:

    “We’ve made repentance the price of admission instead of the fruit of reconciliation.” “Repentance doesn’t earn you the embrace, it’s born out of already being embraced.” “When we wall people out, we wall the gospel in.” “The lost sheep don’t need a lecture, they need to be carried home.”

    ✨ Reflection Questions:
    • When you hear the word reconciliation, what comes to mind?

    • Have you ever experienced grace before you “had it all together”? How did that change you?

    • Where have you been tempted to withhold love until someone “proved” themselves?

  • The Strategic Spiritual Covering You Might Be Missing
    Aug 11 2025

    In this episode of With Grit & Grace: Men of Courage, Women of Valor, Angela Linville unpacks the biblical role of the Armor Bearer, and why modern Kingdom builders can’t afford to go without one.

    Far more than a helper or assistant, an Armor Bearer protects your mantle, guards your message, and multiplies your mission. Angela shares how the tools she uses, frameworks, marketing clarity, and stewardship strategy, may look like “business strategy” from the outside, but are actually delivery vehicles for something deeper: the activation and protection of Kingdom assignments.

    You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between tactical help and holy covering, why most builders don’t have true Armor Bearers, and how to start experiencing that kind of strategic support for those who want to build without burnout or compromise.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode
    • The biblical roots of the Armor Bearer role (Jonathan, 1 Samuel 14)
    • Why “help” focuses on tasks but holy covering focuses on territory
    • The three pillars of Armor Bearer work: mantle protection, message stewardship, multiplication mindset
    • Common reasons leaders lack true Armor Bearers, and how to change it
    • How to audit your inner circle for alignment, protection, and accountability
    • Why the fastest way to find an Armor Bearer is to experience strategic covering first
