This week on the Woman of Wholeness Podcast, we are joined by the insightful Traci Brubaker to explore the profound impact of our words. Think of our life as a beautifully wrapped box with a silver bow on top. Our words are gifts inside these silver boxes. What are we speaking to others and allowing others to speak over us? Our words can be uplifting and encouraging, like a precious gift, or they can be hurtful and destructive, like a knife that cuts deep. Often, we remember the harsh words more than the kind ones. Traci shares how important it is to watch our words and reminds us that we can always tell each other when something isn't a "silver box"—when words sting and cause pain. We also discuss how negative words can squelch dreams and how crucial it is to pay attention to the voice in our minds. What vision has God given you? Don’t let others' negative words keep you from pursuing it. Trust in your passions and the path God has set for you. The Bible tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. So, what are we speaking to each other—life or death? Join us for this enlightening conversation as we delve into the power of words, the importance of supportive speech, and how to safeguard our dreams and visions. 💬 Tune in to be inspired and challenged to use your words wisely and positively. Let's create silver boxes filled with love, encouragement, and life. 💖 Give Traci a follow on social media to be encouraged often. She is a beacon of positivity and inspiration, and you won't want to miss her uplifting messages.

In this powerful episode of the Woman of Wholeness Podcast, we are joined by the incredible Taylor Jackson, who shares the importance and power of praying through your home. Taylor delves into the practice of anointing your doors, windows, and spaces with oil, emphasizing the biblical call to "keep" or "guard" our homes. Many of us think of keeping our homes as maintaining cleanliness and order, but Taylor reveals that the word "keep" actually means to guard. Are we standing guard over everything that comes into our homes? Taylor's lived experience of physically removing items from her home and witnessing profound changes in her household and children is a testament to this practice. Women, we have the authority over the enemy, and we are called to guard and fight against it with the power and authority given to us by God. This episode is an invitation to stand firm in that authority and actively protect our homes through prayer and anointing. If this concept is new to you or if you have questions about praying over your home and anointing it with oil, Taylor is a wonderful resource. She is a woman you want in your corner. Having had the privilege to share prayer requests, new scriptural insights, and be challenged by her depth of understanding and practice, I can attest to the blessing of knowing her. Taylor will draw you closer to the Father, and with a friend like that, you can’t lose. Tune in to this inspiring episode and join us as we learn how to take spiritual authority over our homes, ensuring they are places of peace, protection, and God's presence. 🎧 Subscribe, listen, and be encouraged!
