Journeying with Ra'ah Podcast

If you've experienced church hurt, you're not alone. Today, I sit down with my very good friend Dr. Betty to have an honest conversation about church hurt—what it is, why it happens, and how we can find healing. We talk about expectations in church, extending grace to leaders, and the importance of setting healthy boundaries in service and relationships. We also share insights on forgiveness, spiritual growth, and what it looks like to build a personal relationship with God while navigating hurt within church communities. You definitely don't want to miss this episode! We'd love to hear your story in the comments! Tell us about your experiences of church hurt and how you found healing.

End-of-year camp meeting season is here! In this episode, Dominion and I dive deep into how we, as believers, can prepare for and sustain spiritual encounters—especially during camp meetings, retreats, and seasons when God draws us closer. We also share practical ways to spiritually prepare for a new year, because in reality, your new year doesn't begin on January 1st; it begins weeks and months before, and the preparation you put in matters. We explore the importance of retreats, the weight of prophetic words, and the intentional rhythms that help us maintain spiritual fire long after the meeting atmosphere fades. Don't miss this one!

This audio is so dear to my heart 🥺 Definitely one of the shortest podcast episodes I've released, but its an episode worth replaying daily! I pray it blesses you ✨ The scripture I read (at 1:10) is found in Habakkuk 2:2 -3 Story behind the audio: For context, I was on a Prayer Set - A group of people that meet to pray weekly in the Prayer Tower at Oral Roberts University. A friend of mine had quite literally forced me to join 😂 in my second year. It was a stretch for me as an introvert and an international student trying to find my foot in the U.S. Long story short, in this moment, God had placed a word on my heart and I was so hesitant to share. What if it's just my mind, what if they don't understand my accent, what if I stutter…I eventually just OBEYED and it ushered in such a shift in the room, God even gave us a spontaneous song on the spot! 🥹 Listen to the end and you'll hear it. The confirmations afterwards, from people on how they needed to hear this was so heartwarming and I'm so happy I captured this moment. There were several other moments like this in the prayer tower auditorium and I'm so thankful to have been part of prayer sets at ORU. If you're an ORU student, I highly recommend! Have a beautiful weekend everyone! ✨ Connect with me on IG: @the.estheronuoha Has this episode blessed you? Let us know here: https://tinyurl.com/JWRImpactStories
