In this powerful opening to the Women of Courage, Faith, and Influence series, LaKesha unpacks the life of Deborah — the prophetess, judge, and leader who rose in faith when others hesitated.
Through Deborah’s story in Judges 4–5, you’ll discover what it truly means to lead with courage, walk in faith, and use your influence to create Kingdom impact.
She didn’t need a title to lead — she led because she was anointed, aligned, and obedient.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
💡 How courage births influence and inspires others to rise
💡 Why faith fuels foresight, giving you clarity before victory comes
💡 And how collaboration creates impact, proving that leadership thrives in unity
LaKesha also shares four practical steps to help you live out Deborah’s legacy — from embracing your calling to leading from spiritual strength and elevating others along the way.
If you’ve ever questioned your qualifications or hesitated to lead, this episode will remind you that God doesn’t call the qualified — He qualifies the called.
🎧 Tune in now to be strengthened, inspired, and equipped to rise as a woman of courage, faith, and influence.
And join LaKesha all week on Swellcast @Elev8eddestiny for daily reflections and growth challenges based on Deborah’s journey.
✨ Because your obedience today can shift what happens tomorrow.
