Episode Summary:
This year has been a revealing season for the Body of Christ, with sin and corruption within churches being uncovered. While it’s heartbreaking, it’s also a reminder that God will not be mocked. Justice is unfolding, and as we prepare for revival, we are called to sanctify ourselves—to separate from what neutralizes us and draw closer to God.
In today’s episode, I reflect on 2024 and share what God has revealed for 2025: It’s time to build. Inspired by the book of Nehemiah, we will dive into rebuilding the areas of our lives ravaged by divorce and its aftermath. This isn’t just groundwork anymore—it’s time to build deeper and stronger.
I also recap Episode 33, where I discussed the importance of having a blueprint for new beginnings and how setting yearly words and scriptures has kept me grounded. If you missed it, be sure to go back and listen!

The importance of righteous judgment in the Body of Christ.
Lessons learned and personal growth through journaling.
