“For me, I learned about the existence of Heavenly Mother at a relatively young age through experiencing the death of my older brother, Landon. This was a pivotal moment in my life and I actually didn't even know that I was seeking Her out. But ever since then, I've known I have not only a Heavenly Father, but a Heavenly Mother too. That conviction has stayed firm ever since.” - Regan Stewart --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inherimage/support

What do Isaiah and Instagram have in common? This week we're bringing you a conversation about a prophecy Isaiah gave about our times, on a subject that has hit home for many a woman over the last two months: the role of women in the Church. A large survey recently released showed a societal shift with regard to women leaving religion at significantly higher rates than men. Did Isaiah prophesy of this happening? We address the pains that women are feeling inside religion. We unpack the roadmap Isaiah laid out to help us change the system that is no longer serving our spirituality as women. Following this road map will fulfill an even greater prophecy; a gathering of women in their spiritual power that will bring joy to all humanity. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/inherimage/support
