“There is nothing wrong with you. You are not beyond help. He is just looking for the smallest 'yes' ”.

Have you ever felt like you were trying to fit into a mold of "the perfect Christian woman" that just didn't fit and left you feeling disillusioned and frustrated? In this episode of the Arise & Shine: Radiant Remnant series, Jackie and Katie Ricken discuss the exhausting cycle of trying to be someone you aren't called to be.

Katie opens up about her journey of letting go of religious expectations and discovering that God wasn't looking for a polished performance—He was looking for her true heart. By honoring her unique calling toward quiet intercession and worship, Katie found a depth of trust and love that legalism could never provide. If you’ve ever felt like your "quiet" strength wasn't enough, or if you feel like you’ve struggled to find peace in walking who God has called you to be in your unique identity, this episode is a soothing balm for your soul.

In this episode, we explore:

• "You Are Not Beyond Help": Breaking the lie that your heart is too messy or your "invisible blocks" are too big for God to handle.

• The Gift of an Open Mind: Learning to let go of how we think God should show up and simply inviting Him to move.

• From Performance to Intercession: How Katie traded the loud expectations of others for the powerful, quiet roar of intercession and worship.

• The Smallest Willingness: Why God doesn't need a massive leap of faith—He just needs a tiny bit of curiosity and a willingness to explore with Him.

It’s Time to Take Your Stand: Your story doesn't end in the ashes. It's time to rise up and become the bride you were created to be.

The enemy works in the dark, but we have the privilege to ask God's light to dispel the darkness in our own lives.

Do you ever feel like you’re doing all the 'right' things—praying, reading, serving—but you’re still hitting an invisible wall? Like there is a shadow from your past or a heaviness in your spirit that you just can’t shake?

In this episode of the Arise & Shine Series, Jackie sits down with Jessica Scarson to discuss the reality of invisible blocks. These are the heart wounds and spiritual strongholds that act like anchors, keeping us tethered to the "ashes" of old identities. Jessica’s testimony is a powerful witness to what happens when we stop trying to "try harder" and start allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us into deep-level heart healing and deliverance.

In this episode, we explore:

• Identifying the Unseen: How to discern when a "block" is a spiritual stronghold or a lingering heart wound requiring deep-level healing.

• The Ash-to-Beauty Exchange: The practical (and often messy) process of handing God our despair in exchange for His garment of praise.

• Rising Out of the Rubble: How Jessica transitioned from a place of "just surviving" to walking as a powerful leader and an Oak of Righteousness.

• The Triumphal Procession: Learning to carry the "aroma of Christ" even when you’re still in the process of being made whole.

The Word of the Day:

"To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." — Isaiah 61:3

It’s Time to Take Your Stand: Your story doesn't end in the ashes. It's time to rise up and become the bride you were created to be.

Can I really be free?

When the "scorched places" of life feel too vast to ever become a garden again, God shows us He is a specialist in the impossible.

As we prepare for our Arise and Shine event on May 18th-21st, I’m bringing you behind the scenes with five women who have traded their spirit of heaviness for a garment of praise.

Our first guest, Rebecca Scheler's story is one of profound resilience and redemption. As a survivor of CPTSD, she shares how God met her in the midst of brokenness and began restoring beauty in places that once held pain. She is a wife, a bonus mom of two, and an artist at heart—using painting and writing as sacred spaces where healing and creativity meet. Her life is a living testimony that no place is too far gone for God to redeem.

This episode is honest, tender, and full of hope. If you’re carrying a mustard seed of hope today, this episode is for you. It’s time to shake the ashes from your mane, daughter. The glory of the Lord is rising upon you.

Respond to the invitation:

• An invitation to expect a shift, even if you’ve been wandering in the desert of hope deferred.

• An invitation to take one more step toward your own healing and your true roar.

Let these testimonies ignite faith in your places of longing. Let them prepare your heart for what is coming this May—a space being cultivated for you to encounter the Lord, receive healing, and be restored for your call as the Radiant Remnant Bride.
