What happens when divine alignment brings unexpected wisdom into your life? In this powerful episode of Be Free You, host Brie Charles takes us inside The Altar Experience, where her encounter with 78-year-old apostle Dr. Yadar Nichols becomes a masterclass in spiritual transformation.
Dr. Nichols—who began preaching at just 13 years old and carries over 60 years of ministry experience—delivers a timely word about stepping into new seasons with boldness. "The old wine is predictable," she explains, "but the new wine is shocking." This prophetic insight resonates deeply with Brie's own message of transformation, creating one of those rare moments when spiritual dots connect before your very eyes.
The conversation takes vulnerable turns as Brie opens up about church hurt, PTSD, and questioning her purpose despite founding three impactful community initiatives. Dr. Nichols responds with hard-earned wisdom: "Though you may be suffering now, know that you're coming out to the other side." Her powerful teaching about the necessity of life's fires offers profound perspective—when you're chosen by God, the journey through fire isn't optional, but it produces something uniquely powerful that sets you apart.
Whether you're questioning your purpose, healing from past wounds, or seeking to understand why your path has been so challenging, this episode offers hope that nothing in your journey has been wasted. Listen now to discover how to "burn through the past, break the cycle, and become unstoppable" with guidance from someone who's spent decades helping others find their divine identity beyond religious conditioning.

born to for nine years, wow,and she came at 22 and she's at
31.
I get a spiritual mother who Ineed about him, wow, okay, yeah,

and she worked out from 14.
I actually came from a churchunder my big brother, some
spiritual father who loved mehere, who loved me still, and

(06:29):
bearing of your life, oh, yeah,so I call myself.
Some people, some have water,some have plantars, a lot of
your life For your own Plantars,that you have Plantars, you

(06:52):
so blessed to be here.
Yes, you are, you are blessed,and I thank you For giving me
the word of God.
It's touching me.
A lot of people, being aretired veteran, think that I've
been struck, but it was just apowerful spirit.
I'm on fire right now.
I'm on fire right now.
(07:14):
I feel like I'm shifting.
Yes, I did, thank you.
Right now, your life is shifted.
Yes, I did, thank you, lord, Idid, I am, yeah, I'm old, I am.

he has.
Yes, and may I call you mom, mom.
(07:35):
I'm telling you I don't believein politics and I'm so grateful
and I'm so emotional.
I'm trying to keep my composurebecause I know that I haven't
been in a church.
Church has hurt me in somesense, I understand, and I've
got the whole political thinggoing on now.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I've known preachers in the past.
I've known preachers in thepast.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I've known for years and I've seen it change.
I've seen it, I've heardpromises, but I am so blessed
that the prophet has invited meout here to do this job, to meet
people, to meet you, to hearthe word.
He is aligning a lot of things.
And a lot of others you and alot of others, I could take part
(08:18):
in the table.
It's given me the boldness thatI needed to walk in this,
because I was looking at thingsdifferently.
I just knew that God said I'velost a lot of people.
I was just like, well, who'sgoing to listen to?
Me, you know when you heardoctors and doctors and I'm just
, I'm from West Philadelphia.
Yeah who God just said.
(08:39):
You know I was out in my fear.
I have PTSD and my fear isdeath because I've seen so much
of death.
Nothing's death.
Oh yes, so he gave me a vision.
I had three kids he didn't have.
No, no, nothing of business.
My first one was a non-profitfor the house of humanity, and
(08:59):
that's where I shelteredhomeless families, domestic
violence victims, and I servedas co-initiator.
I did that.
Then God said you know what.
You've been speaking andmotivating me so long in the
military community.
I joined the military at a lateage.
That was always the next to theweek.
I've been doing it for years.
(09:22):
My third one is creating amobile grocery store in the
Hootie Desert area in Virginia.
God has given me the littlecrumbs, I'm just like well, I'm
looking at somebody at Ed Thomas.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Stop looking at the stage and focus and I had to
look at that.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
But I'm like I have this message, that's so, it's
burning in me like jeremiah yes,and I want no world.
I want everybody over here, butI I said God, if I could.
Just I want to touch millions,thousands of people.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
And you will.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And show other people .
That's what these videos wasabout.
My podcast is about burn breakand become unstoppable, and we
are, and I need people torealize that you don't have to.
Learn the value of this.
Learn through that pain, learnthrough that pain.
Love yourself yes, loveyourself.
And I just learned that I'm 54now.
(10:21):
Yes, and I just learned who Iam.
I just learned who I am.
I think that has happened toall of us, that we have had to
take the necessary journey.
It was programmed before wewere born.
The journey was a program.
I got it.
It had to be that way.
(10:42):
Even though there are a lot ofpretty great and really great
things.
That was definitely thatdeprived you of what you feel
like your success or your joy.
(11:03):
It was a necessary journey.
And I said to somebody tonightwhat you've gone through,
everything you've gone through,has been on purpose and it's
going to be on me.
It's for the greater good andthat's what I see.
All of you, I see, I'm lookingat you as a person.
When I met you in the, in theheart, when I see the glory of
(11:27):
the Lord in your face, you,there was a transition, an
opportunity, a transformation.
Yes, because I believe that'swhat you're ministering about.
Oh my gosh, see what I mean.
A transformation's what you'reministering about, pastor.
I get it.
Oh my gosh, see what I mean.
Just relationship.
And you're being empowered.
And you are being empowered.
You have to be here thisevening Because you're being
empowered because of what God'sputting you already, but the
(11:52):
power that's on you now fortransforming people's lives.
You will have to sweat.
It is just going to besweatless and you will have to
work hard at it.
Just lean into it.
Just lean into who you are.
Just know you are just poor,just poor.
And I'm telling you you'refaster for what you've been done
78 years old, so much knowledge.
(12:15):
You know, I would have neversaid 70.
I would say 60, like 60, 60, 60.
You look amazing.
And I know you have so muchpower and wisdom within yourself
that you could just share withthe whole world.
What is one of the things thatyou could say to my viewers who
(12:36):
are suffering and don't knowtheir purpose yet?
One thing I can say to you isthat, though you may be
suffering now, though you may begoing through a hard place now,
just know this that you'recoming out and there's a coming
out, or you're coming out to theother side of it, and you'll
(12:58):
look back at that stuff, becauseI do.
I look back at the things thatI've gone through, the hell that
I went through in my life,because when you're picked by
God and chosen by God, you'regoing to go through the fire.
You cannot, there is no way youcan deviate from it.
You can't move it, you can'tstop it.
It's coming, it's going tohappen, but it's for the great
of Lord, god, to plan for yourlife and anything that you've
(13:22):
been through will be wasted andit'll be worth it.
It will be worth you staying inthe fire.
Stay there until everything isin you, because God already sees
the perfection.
He already sees you perfect,the potential that he put in you
.
He already sees you as perfect.
You're just working, you'rejust standing in faith.
Faith is helping you to juststand so that you, when the fire
(13:45):
is pulled back, you can comeout, you can step out and you
won't even smell like smoke,nobody will even know that
you've been in the fire, butthey'll see something on you
that's so powerful and uniqueand unlike anybody else.
Because, I hope, am I saying toomuch?
No, you're not saying, becauseyou're not like anybody else and
God is trying to bring you intoyour true identity.
(14:06):
Because we've been messed up bychurch and we've been messed up
by the religious sector andpeople with sinful spirits and
people trying to control yourlife, Jezebel spirits, every
kind of spirit you can think of.
When you have been handpickedand chosen by God, god told me.
He said I sent you to thisearth.
I am sent to this earth andbecause I'm sent here, god has a
(14:30):
plan for me and he has toprotect what he put in me.
He has to protect what he putin me.
Amen, amen, amen.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Amen, amen, amen, thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Lord, Now you burn break and become unstoppable by
following this moment of God whohas so much power, and I am
grateful.
I am grateful.
God bless you.
I'm so grateful I can't saythis enough that you have come
into my space.
You gave me that message and Ithank you.
