    Everything that was broken
    I never comment but I had to today.. this was my first time to ever listen to your show and I know it was God sent! My story is so much like Kaitlyns…while in a foster home a church bus picked me up regularly and I remember falling in love with Jesus singing oh how I love Jesus around age 4.. that kept me through years of abuse and partying.. looking for love in all the wrong places After trauma bonding with my husband we married and we’re blessed with 11 children through the years of a very rocky marriage I kept searching for truth in and out of churches.. dragging my children with me.. Jesus never stopped pulling me Never stopped singing to me.. even in my sleep 25 years ago the Lord took me to an apostolic church and I was filled with the Holy Ghost and through the years have watched my children be filled as well !❤️(2 more to go!) also my second son has pastored a home missions apostolic church for the past 4 and a half years 🤗 who but God!!!.. But what put me in tears during this podcast were the words 25 years of praying.. because that was the 3rd time I have heard that in the past 2 weeks .. My pastor told me a story of a lady getting the Holy Ghost after running from God for 25 years after many had kept praying those 25 years Then a visiting preacher came to our church and told of his relatives coming to God after 25 years of him praying for them.. and I have been fervently praying for my husband to come to God for 25 years.. and I believe this is the year! God is faithful kind and ever merciful!! Thank you for this story.. it just makes me love Jesus more.. knowing He’s still pulling children out of terrible situations like I lived in and so many more! He is the God of miracles!! Thank you again!
  • kenziejones_
    I’m not sure it gets better than this!
    What to even say? My life needed this. These conversations are always inspiring - starting my week out fresh every Monday. If anything, this podcast you cannot deny that you are not alone. This has encouraged me in fasting, praying and intentional parenting and in marriage. These stories give so much faith. Thank you ❤️
  • Feva01
    Feels like family ♥️
    I could honestly listen to an episode everyday! We need more apostolic voices, especially for women by women. I’ve learned so many things about motherhood and I’m not a mother yet. It just feels like your aunts, mother and grandmother talking together while you get to listen in. I didn’t grow up with a family in the church but this feels like one. The Holy Ghost often speaks to me while I’m listening. I’m constantly reminded of the characteristics of our faithful God while listening to these testimonies. Please don’t stop and thank you so much for all your hard work!
  • Layer by layer
    This podcast is a ministry
    Hi my name is Arianna Lomeli and I absolutely love this podcast. The topics are real and resonate so much with my background. Many times I find myself crying because I see that I am not alone in my struggles and that God knows exactly where I’m at. Please keep this podcast going sis. God is healing me layer by layer with each podcast. 🤍

  • Presttf
    Let’s Be Real
    One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to!! I’ve laughed and cried and felt the Holy Ghost with every episode! Let’s keep this real Apostolic testimony podcast going!
  • GodIsLove238
    A Blessing!
    I have always been a lover of personal testimonies and peoples stories. I have found myself binge listening to each episode, because they are so so good. Their stories for Gods Glory! God bless these ladies for their courage and vulnerability to be a blessing to so many!

  • DM3!
    This podcast blesses and ministers to me
    There are so many wonderful episodes. I’ve found myself crying and praying alongside the beautiful ladies that are interviewed. Their stories and testimonies are amazing and I’m so glad Jessica is sharing them.

    Absolute favorite podcast.
  • ListeningLeslie
    All the emotions
    Time is not something we can give freely, with the hustle and bustle of life, and all the things on our to do list. However, I find myself pouring a cup of coffee and listening to the stories/testimonies every Monday, and allowing myself to laugh and cry with the stories being shared. Thank you, Jess, for bringing encouragement, faith building testimonies, and sometimes eye opening stories, that can help us in our faith and our journey through motherhood.
  • Shar_Apostolic
    Love
    Could never for the longest time figure out how to rate or comment on a podcast. I don’t follow you on Instagram, my sister just shared your podcast episode on her story and I try to subscribe to any apostolic podcast I hear about. I started listening from the first episode and I love it already even though I’ve only gotten through like 4 episodes so far. I really don’t listen to podcasts super duper often but often enough and I found myself instead of scrolling through all the ones I’m subscribed to, just being drawn straight back to your podcast. I know others do this as well but I LOVE when people talk about their lives. In general. You learn SO SO SO much about things like you even said, you hadn’t talked about these things with these people in depth like that even until the podcast.
  • ___mrsjames___
    Love!!!
    I’m so glad I stumbled upon this podcast! It has been such a blessing to me! I love the real topics and have laughed, cried and been encouraged through them all! Thank you! 🩷
  • Judith Robbins
    So good and encouraging
    Just today in service, I was encouraging a sister that’s going through a similar situation. After listening to this podcast, i immediately sent it to her. You got to be ALL IN!!!! God will move and keep you!!! Loved it. Thank you Heather for sharing your heart ❤️
  • Elianatorrs92
    Authenticity
    So thankful for this podcast. I love the realness in it, it has so much authenticity. Thank you for sharing, this podcast has beautiful testimonies. May God continue to use you and your guest speakers in this platform. It has blessed me tremendously and now I know I’m not the only one, I love the strength and determination that all these women have taken to follow Jesus, it has been such an encouragement. Thankful for the testimonies and how Jesus can help us all overcome. God bless you!
  • P**derson
    Authentic
    What I love about this podcast is that its exactly as the name describes it! REAL stories and testimonies, from REAL people! It has a way of making you feel like your not the only person in the church going through REAL life situations. Sister Cruz’s story this week helped me so much as I am currently dealing with similar sudden divorce. This podcast gives me so much hope that I will one day be standing on the other side of my pain, declaring that it had a purpose. I can’t wait to see where God takes this podcast!
  • Sandie346
    A-mazing podcast!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since the very first episode and every episode has been a great blessing to me. I look forward to it every Monday! So encouraging and inspiring ❤️. With out a doubt, one of my favorite podcasts!
  • Nathalie Brown
    Just finished crying…
    Sis Andi’s testimony and the anointed singing afterward was like a bandaid for my heart. You never know what someone is going through. I’m thankful for this community of women all trying to make it together. Thank You Jessica for doing this! It’s been such a blessing!
  • Anokken
    Authentic & realistic!
    I’ve waited to review for months because I wanted my review to come from my heart and to be authentic and unbiased. I feel like I pour a cup of coffee, pull a chair up to the table and make a new friend every time I listen! The atmosphere of the podcast is executed with precision—authentic and realistic—and I genuinely feel some barriers that separate us are torn down as a result of this show. I eagerly reach for the newest upload every week! As an Apostolic Christian, I believe there is something profound you can glean from nearly every episode. Each episode shines light on no matter how “put-together” we may look, we’re ALL fighting, or have fought, a battle. Jessica, if you ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels or wondering if this podcast is effective at all, please remember this review! I truly think you’re doing a wonderful thing in helping to unite us as the body of Christ—despite our differences—one episode at a time.
  • Janesa0017
    So encouraging!

    Hooked
    I am four episodes in and can’t stop listening. Even though I’m not a mom, I am an Apostolic wife and have been able to glean so much already! Thank you for sharing your heart, passion and friends with us. 🫶🏼
  • what happen dude
    Soooo good!
    Update: I literally can’t with you ladies! You all are seriously a breath of fresh air. I didn’t know other moms struggled in the church with the same things I’m struggling with when it comes to my littles. I wasn’t raised in church and came from a yelling home and I never worked through those things. I try so hard and it seems like a horrible cycle that and I’m terrified my babies are gonna be damaged by it. Lord willing I can get my husband to do the 52 day fast with me but I needa find what to do it on now. My friend recommended listening to these and ugh I love it so much! I’m all for Godly guidance when it comes to raising our babies in Christ. There’s so many things that sister Hall talked about in episode 10 that I’ve always have thought but haven’t found anyone in my church that did things similar or thought similar with their children. I’m a firm believer in raising them to be good workers and playing a part in the family life. Thank you so much for this cause it really helped clear up a lot of things. God bless you ladies

    Informative, entertaining, moving
    Y’all, I have a 2 YO and a 6 MO…I am soooo tired, but I still lay awake at night with my earbuds in listening until I cain’t listen no more! Lol! Every episode has been soooo good! But I’m gonna have to get a pen and some paper and go back through #9 and #10 for some notes. Actually, can I just get Sis Hall’s number? I need her on speed dial. Haha! For real, though, I love this show. I’m hooked!
  • Vktatum86
    Let’s Be Real!
    This Podcast opened my eyes to so many things. So often we look at others in the church and just expect perfection! Instead we should see broken and healed! Miracles and Power that only comes from Jesus! Love it so much!
  • Bri Valdez
    Incredible

  • Mommy2-3Zs
    Tears, Advice, Laughter
    I may be a delayed listener but just know I’m faithful to show up ( just might not be on release day). At this moment all caught up on ever episode. Such an amazing series this far. I have taken away something from every episode. From advice to tears, and some laughs. Keep up the great work. I have enjoyed listening each step of the way.
  • Helping this momma
    Something real in a fake world
    My friend Jessica Hall told me about your podcast and I haven’t been able to stop listening to these beautiful testimonies! Finally, real women living in a real world and telling us like it is! How to overcome, how God never leaves us nor forsakes us! How we are not alone in this!! Thank you! Thank you, for keeping it real. Your podcast has truly touch me and I’ve enjoyed every episode!

  • Mnrgarcia
    This podcast is a blessing!
    My sister suggested this podcast and I started listening immediately. Every episode, I cried, happy tears and sad tears! I was so blessed by the episode with Hannah. I had a miscarriage prior to my first pregnancy with my son and hearing her experience made me realize how normal my reactions were doing that time. It blessed me immensely to hear this and know that she knew how I felt and it was normal.

    Love the episodes with Sis. Michelle Hall!💕 Picking up rocks. Those are the first episodes I listened to and I’m excited to binge the rest of the episodes.
  • Cajmdj01
    🥲🥲
    I have binge listened to the first 5 episodes! Every Single Episode brought me to tears as it touched on situations within my own life. Child loss, special needs, chaotic family of origin, I could go on and on! I am so thankful that the Lord led me to this podcast!! Looks forward to listening in the future!
  • KimiHouse
    Thank You!
    Jessica, thank you for stepping out on faith and doing this podcast. I haven’t missed a one of them. I can’t say enough good things for what they’ve done for me. 🥰
  • Jessica. W.
    Phenomenal podcast!
    I’m have never written a review for a podcast before. But I couldn’t listen to these episodes without saying something! Every episode has been uplifting and full of nuggets of wisdom. As a Christian I am so thankful for a podcast that promotes Godly living and Biblical advise. Keep the testimonies coming! I am here for it! 😁

    THIS
    Every episode has helped me in some way, but the second half of the parenting teens has by far been an incredible listen! Thank you for this one!
  • savinmoney
    Great Podcast for Ladies!
    So many golden nuggets of wisdom in the last few podcasts! (Sis Hall and Sis Duty) Every one of the ladies have been great but love wisdom from ladies that have already been there and done it in motherhood. Definitely a must listen 🩷
  • Terri B Adams
    THIS PODCAST😭👏🏻
    Let me just say that, Jess this is EXACTLY what you needed to do! Thank you SO much for yielding to this nudge because it was definitely needed. EVERY single episode has been so uplifting and has ministered to me in many ways. I can’t wait for the many more to come!😊
  • Hannah L Phillips
    😭🤍
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since it started, but I got behind a few episodes. Recently, I was on a 3 hour road trip home and listened to a few episodes back to back. Felt like I was sitting in the room listening to the conversation! So encouraging and love every guest that you’ve had 👏🏼 Each episode is so unique in what it has to say. Thank you for doing this and encouraging moms everywhere!

    You know how as you grow into adulthood it gets hard to make friends/socialize? Well Jessica is helping take the work out and blessing us with the opportunity to listen in on deep/fun conversations with others without having to leave the comforts of your bubble. Each episode is engaging and I look forward to the next one.
