SPEAKER_08 (00:09):
There's something about the rain.
It's messy.
It's unpredictable.
But baby, it's necessary becausesometimes God doesn't calm the
storm.
He teaches you how to dance init.
He shows you that every dropthat hit your life was watering
a seat you didn't even know youplanted.

(00:30):
Through the rain isn't justanother devotion.
It's a journey oftransformation.
30 points, 30 testimonies, eachone bread is great, forgiveness,
healing, and the kind of faiththat only comes after the under
control that appears to fall.
This anthology is for everywoman who's ever cried herself

(00:55):
to sleep and still showed up inthe morning with worship on her
lips.
It's for the believer who feelsunseen, unheard, and undone, but
keeps believing anyway.
So I ask you, when the thunderrolls and the rain won't stop,
will you curse it or will youfind God in it?

So let's get started.
Okay, okay, okay.
First up, we have Dr.
Audrey M.
Moses with the storm within.
With us when a storm becomestwo.

(05:27):
Okay, Audrey.
Yes, ma'am.
Dr.
Moses, yes, ma'am.
So transparently about the painof separation and the long road
back to restoration.
What part of that season stillechoes the loudest for you
today?

SPEAKER_14 (05:50):
I think um, hey ladies, um I I think I my brain
sometimes, you know, Satan doesSatan makes us be miserable
every time we allow him to makeus be miserable, you know, and

(06:12):
so in some of those times that Iallow him to make me miserable,
I think about the night thateverything fell apart.
You know, I think about what wassaid, who said what, and you
know, and what the reactionswere.

(06:33):
And and it always plays back inmy mind that, you know, if you
had not said blah, blah, blah,then none of this would have
happened.
You know, and I know that it'sjust Satan trying to make me
relive all of that to the pointwhere I'm, you know, back into
depression and I'm back into lowself-esteem and low self-worth.

(06:59):
So I've learned over years howto ignore that.
But every now and then it comesback.
But now I know that I have theHoly Spirit to come back that.
So I just allow, you know, I Ilet him and Jesus duke it out.
And I just move on because Iknow where I was and I know

(07:21):
where I am, and so I know thatwhere I was is no longer
significant.
But it took me a while to get tothat point.

SPEAKER_04 (07:30):
Absolutely, absolutely.
And you describe the church too.
I want to mention that aboutyour chapter.
You describe the church as aplace that wounded you instead
of healing you.
How did you rebuild yourrelationship with God after
being hurt by quote unquote, theyou know how I say the seasoned
saints, his his people, God'speople, quote unquote.

(07:51):
You know, they like to claimthem as his, as theirs and
theirs alone, you know.

SPEAKER_14 (07:57):
Well, it it was major church hurt, and um it
took me a very long time, andwhen I say a long time, I mean
from um nineteen eighty eight ornine, well, let me think,

(08:19):
nineteen eighty six untilnineteen ninety-five to
recuperate from that.
You know, it was major churchhurt, and I just, you know, I um
every time I try to allow myselfto give the church a second

(08:43):
chance, something else wouldhappen, you know.
And so I just decided that Ilove God, God loves me, but I
don't need his church.
I don't need those churchpeople.
And um, so I just stayed awayfrom them for, like I said, um
11 or 12 years.

(09:05):
Wow.
And so once I was ready, once uhagain, it was a matter of
rebuilding my self-esteem,rebuilding my um self-worth and
understanding that all of thatwas it was a terrible time, but
I did not have to live that allthe rest of my life.

(09:28):
You know, and so I um I I joineda church that believed in loving
on people um as opposed tocontinually um reminding them of
their faults.
And I think that's what helpedme to move forward as far as

(09:53):
church buildings go, because itit took me a minute to decide
that I even wanted to walk backinto a church building.
Absolutely.
You know, so yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (10:05):
We all know look, you see everybody shaking their
head, like, yeah, we get that.
We know that a lot of us, youknow, we did uh Adrienne, was
you I think you was on when wedid that episode on Listen
Little when I first came outabout church hurt.
I think you I did a few episodesabout that, so you know I'm
previous to the church hurt.

SPEAKER_14 (10:23):
Church hurt is devastating.

SPEAKER_04 (10:24):
I can uh can agree with you on that.
Now your testimony ends or yourchapter ends in re uh
reconciliation after 23 years.
Yes, what would you tell a womanwho is still stuck in between
that in-between season rightnow?

SPEAKER_14 (10:42):
Well, I'ma tell you from the day the divorce papers
were signed until the day themarriage license was signed, I
was always like never ever everever nah I'm good.
I'm good, you know, but um but II knew I wasn't good.

(11:07):
And and one of the reasons Iknew I wasn't good is because
the one or two men that I didmeet that I thought might be
husband material weren't him.
They weren't him and theyweren't um his I know it sounds

(11:29):
weird, you divorced this person,you know, but they they weren't
they weren't him.
Yeah, um we didn't divorce atall.

SPEAKER_04 (11:38):
They were not it wasn't your helpmate.
That wasn't that wasn't it?

SPEAKER_14 (11:42):
It wasn't it wasn't who I was supposed to be with.

SPEAKER_04 (11:45):
Exactly.

SPEAKER_14 (11:46):
Um I um we didn't divorce because of infidelity,
we didn't divorce because ofabuse.
It was none of that.
It was just um, you know, oneone day we just didn't get along
anymore, you know.
Yeah and so um and and in the80s it was easy to get a

(12:09):
divorce.
You just say, oh, I don't likethat shirt.
Um get out and don't come back,you know.
You know, so I I don't like Ididn't like the way you cook
those greens, then you don'thave to cook for me anymore.
Bye.
You know, basically that's howit was in the 80s.
And so um I'm glad it's a lotharder to get a divorce now.

(12:31):
I really am.
Because it makes you know, it'sa lot harder and it's more
expensive back then.
I did all the paperwork.
I I went to the um Office Maxand or whatever it was called
then, um, picked up a packet,filled it in in ink, filled in
all the blanks, took it to thecourthouse, paid$75.

(12:55):
That was it.
You know, so um, but as timewent on, we both knew it wasn't
right, but we both werestubborn, and you know, we both
had other things going on bythen, and so you know, and God
was patient.
And and so I just I always tellhim he walked around in circles

(13:19):
until he got back to me, youknow, and so um I I I tell
people, don't ever say youwon't.
Yeah, you know, because I said Iwon't, and he said he won't, but
we did.
So after 23 years, our childrenwere grown, and we actually had

(13:41):
grandchildren by the time we gotback together.

SPEAKER_04 (13:45):
Y'all figured it out.
I'm so and I love that fory'all.
I really do.
I really love that for y'allbecause y'all are one of one of
my favorite couples.
And he's funny, y'all.
He is hilarious.
He be getting me all every timehe sees her and follow me, he
gotta get me.
But I love it.
I love y'all so much, and I'm sohappy that y'all at the 20, that

(14:07):
you know, that's the Jordanyear.

SPEAKER_14 (14:09):
Yeah.
Well, it's been we've beentogether 14 years.
Yeah, but so so we count all theyears.
So we've been actually togetherfor um 40, my son is 43, so 45
years.

SPEAKER_04 (14:26):
Yeah, because you still have to co-parent, you
still have to be with thatperson.

SPEAKER_14 (14:29):
Yeah, we co-parented, and yeah.
That's so so um, so we count allthe years, but from after the 23
years, we've been physicallyback together for 14 years.

SPEAKER_04 (14:43):
Well, congratulations.

SPEAKER_14 (14:45):
Thank you.

SPEAKER_04 (14:46):
I love that.
I love that so much.
Now we're gonna get into theproject.
Of course, you know, I know thatI'm your, you know, I'm your
daughter, you know, and but youcan tell the truth now, you
know.
You've been working with me fora long time.
How did writing this chapterhelp you heal another layer of
your journey?

SPEAKER_14 (15:07):
Oh, I thought you were gonna ask me about wanting
to get on a plane and come to umIllinois to wring your neck.
I thought that's the part youwanted to know about.

SPEAKER_04 (15:18):
Well, we're gonna hold off on ringing my neck for
a while.
You know, we're gonna keep itlight.
You know, we're gonna keep itcute because I did an unboxing
of your box that you gave metoday.
I don't know if you saw it.

SPEAKER_14 (15:31):
Oh, you got the box.
Oh good.
Um, but um actually what um II've been writing for a long
time, and um, and I've and I'vewritten um personal stuff for a
while, but Jackie made me goplaces with this story that I

(15:57):
didn't want to go to.
And um she made me, you know, Iwrote the story.
I wanted to, I wanted the storyto be only about me and only
about my feelings.
And um, I did not want it thisstory really had nothing to do
with my husband or my children,and and it still doesn't.

(16:20):
And um, so but she wanted me to,you know, pull more out um of
you know, more out of the thefeelings and the stress and the
depression and you know theselflessness, the selfless, um

(16:40):
self, wh what's the word,worthless feelings that I had
and all of those things.
And and I wasn't wanting to dothat, you know, because when she
asked me to join the anthology,I was like, okay, fine, what I'm
gonna think, and I thought ofsomething, and I wrote the whole
thing in about, you know, a day,five hours.

(17:02):
You know, I just wrote the wholething, you know, um went through
and made sure all the words werespelled right and all that kind
of stuff and sent it to her.
And then, you know, she sent itback.

SPEAKER_04 (17:13):
So, but I think everybody here has experienced
me sending it back, and they wasall mad at me, and they kept
being mad at me the whole timebecause I'm sending stuff back
like this ain't it, this ain'tit.
And they're like, oh my god,girl.

SPEAKER_14 (17:30):
Yeah, and so so it that's basically what I went
through was having to really digdeeper to um to make, you know,
to really say what I actuallywent through, you know, me
personally going through thatjourney.

(17:51):
So, you know, but I I still loveher.

SPEAKER_04 (17:54):
I love you too, Mama Audrey.
And the last question for uhMama Audrey before we move on to
the next person.
What did being part of thissisterhood, or does being part
of this sisterhood do for youspiritually and emotionally as
far as like being part of theListen Linda sisterhood?
Because you know you are like aboard member at this point.

(18:16):
I told you and Leah are y'allthe enforcers.
Um, because y'all come in,you've been here since day.
When I say y'all, this lady hasbeen here for me since day one,
since I wasn't even listeningyet.
I was still just Jackie, youknow, in a random anthology, you
know, I didn't know nothingabout nothing.

(18:37):
She was here before Mountains,she was an art reader for
mountains.
That's how long she's been here.
Right.
Yeah.
What do you think a sisterhoodlike this means for just people,
but really for you spirituallyand emotionally?

SPEAKER_14 (18:51):
Well, with um, like she said, you know, we met like
right right after COVID orduring COVID.
I can't, you know, somewherearound, somewhere around there.
It was during COVID.
And and it was, you know, I Iwas not really involved in a lot

(19:13):
of um women Arthur groups atthat time.
So um a friend of mine, uh Dr.
Velma Bagby, was the one thatreally pulled me into the group.
And and I think it has beengreat for for me personally.

(19:34):
It's been great for me.
Um it's it's pulled me out of ashell or two that I was in.
And um and it's helped me tolearn how how other authors
feel.
And and I've learned that otherauthors go through the same
things that I go through,especially though, you know, if
we're self-published, you know,that's it's it gets kind of

(19:56):
rough sometimes.
And um, and and these women havereally become my family.
You know, it's the listen lindaum group has really become my
family.
And I've written a coupleanthologies with the group, and
um, and they've they've helpedme, is it five?

SPEAKER_04 (20:20):
Five, all of the women of the voting room, and
this one, and then we did onetogether with somebody else with
her.

SPEAKER_14 (20:27):
So that's a total of five that you worked on with.
Right.
So um, and then like um, youknow, like I said, the the
biggest part for me is is beingable to know that I have sisters
I can call for any reason at anytime, whether it has anything to
do with a book or not.
Sometimes we run ideas off ofeach other about our books, and

(20:51):
and it's seven of us that wereally are like sisters, you
know.
We can call each other at twoo'clock in the morning, you
know, and and and it'll be okaybecause, you know, that we we
just know what each other needs.
And and I think that's whathappens if you get in a group

(21:13):
and you're close in that group,and um, and you get to really
know each other.
And and um, and we all arespiritual women, so that helps
us.
If I'm if my if my bowl is alittle empty, somebody in the
group is gonna fill it up, youknow, and and we all need that.
So I mean, I don't want to takeup all the time, but because I

(21:37):
could talk about our group, youknow, for an hour, um, with all
the things that we have beenthrough together, um, sadness
and happiness, and so, and we'vealways stuck together.
And I and I know we willcontinue to stick together even
after Jesus comes.

SPEAKER_09 (21:54):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_14 (21:55):
So um, so I know that we will continue to be
together.
But a group, when you form agroup like this, you know, it's
a good thing.
It's a good thing for yourwriting and for your your
personal spiritual uplift.

SPEAKER_04 (22:09):
Absolutely.
I can't agree more.
And you know, I love you likeChrist Love Church.
And uh I I appreciate you somuch for just sticking with me
because I be having my days, butDr.
Audrey Ann is actually aChristian life coach.
Well, I well, I am apsychologist.
Yeah, she's a psychologist and aChristian life coach, and she's
my Christian life coach.

(22:31):
Y'all can borrow her sometimes,but she's mine.
So if you guys, you know, um, Iwill go back around at the end
and let people know where theycan reach everybody at.
Um, but I'm gonna move forwardnow.
Thank you, Dr.
Audrey.
I love you, I appreciate you.
Thank you, ladies.

SPEAKER_15 (22:47):
Thank you.
I love you too.

SPEAKER_04 (22:49):
Next up, we got prophetess Dr.
Leah M.
Kelly with raindrops ofrevelation.
Okay, and I'm just gonna getinto this trailer right now.

SPEAKER_01 (23:04):
Others to reveal.
This is the story of a woman whostood in the stone and found
revelation in the rain.
She dreamed of this moment herwhole life.

(23:25):
To walk across that stage tohear her name called, to receive
her doctorate in divinity.
A dream, decades in the making,finally realized.

(23:46):
But as the applause echoed,another stone was forming behind
the church.
He was powerful, charismatic, aman of God, or so she thought.

(24:07):
Their connection began asministry, but it soon turned
into manipulation.
What she thought was divinealignment became a battlefield
for her soul.

(24:28):
The words came like thunder,stooped, dumb, crazy, each one a
dagger.
But instead of drowning indespair, she lifted her umbrella

(24:48):
of faith and declared, no weaponformed against me shall prosper.
Tears became raindrops ofrevelation.
The pain revealed her power, therejection revealed her word.

(25:12):
And when she finally prayed,God, if he's not the one,
removed him.
He did.
Not in anger, but in mercy.
Through wise women of God, shefound healing.

(25:36):
They prayed, they pored, andthey reminded her.
True love does not destroy.
God's will does not belittle.
She learned to set boundaries,protect her peace, and walk in

(26:00):
freedom.
Sis, you don't have to drown insomeone else's rain.
Let every drop of pain wateryour purpose.

(26:44):
So let the rain reveal, notdestroy.
Rise, daughter.
The thunder was never meant tosilence you.
It was heaven's applausereminding you.

(27:06):
You made it through the rain.

SPEAKER_04 (27:12):
Yes, yes, yes.
Amen, amen, amen, prophetess,Leah Kelly.
I can't hear you.

SPEAKER_02 (27:28):
I'm just like, wow.
Can you hear me?

SPEAKER_04 (27:30):
Yes.

SPEAKER_02 (27:32):
I'm just like, I'm just like, wow, because when you
look at it and you that'ssomething that you have walked
through, that you have survivedand overcome.
The magnitude of what God hasdone is overwhelming.
It's overwhelming to the factthat, you know, whom the son has

(27:54):
set free is really free indeed.
You know, with a greater senseof awareness.
Back over to you, Jacqueline.
I'm just God is good.
I want to run, but I can't runof my house right now.
I want to run.
You want to get a pro girl.

SPEAKER_04 (28:13):
Girl, girl, girl.
Your chapter exposures,spiritual manipulation, charm
masking character, and thedangers of ignoring discernment.
What finally snapped you out ofthe fog and brought you clarity?

SPEAKER_02 (28:34):
When I looked at it, it was a constant, the constant
arguments, the constant uhtrying to turn it back over on
me to try to make me think I wascrazy, and I know I'm not crazy,
and I know um what I saw, butthe the program, I I recognized

(28:56):
he was trying to program me.
He wanted me to pro he wanted toprogram my my peripheral, like
my whole vision to see it theway he saw it, the way that he
said it had to be law, which alot of times contradicted, he
tried to contradict the word, ifyou understand what I'm saying.

(29:18):
He tried to make his word aboveGod's word, like he was the only
one in tune with God.
And it was just a breaking pointwhen he was like, Well, you
know, why are you praying?
Why are people asking you topray?
You know, why do they want totalk to you?
You know, I'm the apostle, Ihave it all.

(29:40):
That's what he was telling me.
And so I was like, you knowwhat, Leah, there's something
wrong with this picture.
And a light bulb went on, HolySpirit light bulb went on in my
head, and God was saying,daughter, I'm showing you this.
Do not ignore it, do not allowit.

(30:00):
Allow the love that you have forthis man and the feelings, only
called in your emotions becausethey'll put you on a roller
coaster.
Don't get so caught up that youallow it to blind you because
this individual is not for you.
And even in one moment, reallythe kicker was when I was

(30:21):
talking to God about it, and Godsaid, He is your nemesis.
How do you expect your nemesisto agree with you in anything
regards to me?

SPEAKER_04 (30:33):
Absolutely.
Now, I I really want to um dig alittle deeper um into your
chapter because in your chapteryou talked about how
transparency in the wrong handsis like handing somebody a
loaded weapon.
What boundaries have you builtsince then?

SPEAKER_02 (30:55):
Well, the I mean that is is really true because
you're giving your enemy the gunto take you out.
And I and not so muchphysically, but mentally,
psychologically, andemotionally, you are equipping
them with the ammunition todestroy you.
And so I move, I I thought thatI have moved uh wiser, you know,

(31:19):
with wisdom back then, but now Imove in total, complete wisdom,
uh, allowing the Holy Spiritdiscernment to lead me and guide
me and to know what I am toexpose and what I'm not.
Because see, oftentimes you say,Well, I love this person, I want
to tell this person uheverything about me, but at

(31:42):
times it may be too soon to tellthem.
They might not be able to carrythe weight of your truth while
they're living in the lies oftheir denial.

SPEAKER_04 (31:53):
So, you know.
Um, what part of your storm wasGod using to strengthen but not
break you at that time?
What do you think?

SPEAKER_02 (32:06):
I think that God was building character in me.
I have to say that he wasbuilding character and building
me to be the woman that Godcalled and ordained me to be.
And what he was showing me wasthat I had to have my ear
attuned to the kingdom more sothan to the words of man.

SPEAKER_04 (32:31):
Absolutely, absolutely, I hundred percent
agree with you on that because alot of times we we are so
wrapped up in the love of ourlife, and you know, I used to
be, I am like y'all, everybodyknow me.
Y'all know I love me some Mr.
Cox, but I love my husband, Ilove my husband, but even my

(32:55):
husband know and can appreciatethat God comes before him
because if I don't love Godfirst and myself second, I
can't, I can't give what I don'thave.
So I have to fill up in God, andI have to fill up in myself in
order for me to be able to umlove people correctly.
So I'm so so glad I like I said,I love my husband.

(33:16):
My husband loves me, but heknows that God comes first in
his life, God comes first in mylife, and that way we can come
together, um, like like Dr.
Velma so eloquently states withthat three-strand cord and make
it bind and stick.
Because if it's just me and himand it's no God there, that's
like a twist.
You know, it's gonna unravel.
But if you got a three-strandcord like a braid, it's gonna

(33:39):
lock in and it ain't gonna move.
And so I can I can definitelyappreciate that.
Um, now we're gonna go into yourproject experience.
How did writing this chaptershift your ministry as a
prophetess?
This this chapter.

SPEAKER_02 (33:58):
That's that's that's a good one.
Uh, as a prophetess, it shiftedit in this way to look at
leadership as a whole, and howleaders should not manipulate
the word of God and try to twistthe word of God to fit their
agendas and their um their wayof doing things that would

(34:20):
mislead an individual.
It's like, Lord, help me not tobe like that, because I never
want to mislead God's people.
And that is a dangerous place tobe in, especially if we say
something to God's people thatHe did not say.

(34:43):
So, you know, we had that is avery thin line.
You have to be very careful andnot do that.
So, you know, one can get introuble with the Lord.
So it taught me to continuallywalk in integrity within my
office that I occupy and to leadthe people to God the way that

(35:03):
the Holy Spirit instructs me todo so.

SPEAKER_04 (35:06):
Absolutely.
That is a great answer.
That was the answer I waslooking for when you said that
it just it leaves because a lotof people get so caught up in
what they're hearing, they'renot hearing everything that God
is saying or seeing everythingthat God is trying to show.
Not saying that you lack that,but I noticed just even in your

(35:27):
writing, when you were do whenyou were sending your chapter
in, and I will ask you for more,and I will ask you for more, you
started going deeper and deeperinto your ministry.
And it started like, if y'allread her chapter, you'll see
what I'm saying.
She knows so much about ministryalready, but it just seemed like
as she started to get furtherand further into her writing, it

(35:50):
looked to me as the reader, butalso as the editor and the
publisher of the project thatyou started to see things a lot
clearer.
It started to make more sense toyou.
Your writing became less andless of a task for me to do
because you had it, right?
And that's why I was like, okay,I see where she's not just like

(36:11):
from the time we started, I justsaw you grow in your ministry
and in your writing.
And it your writing reflectsyour growth.
That's why I wrote this questiondown even before we even I had
your question laid out.
Like, I wonder what she's gonnasay if I ask.
Like, and that's what I saw inyour writing.
Um now, what does it mean tosee?

(36:36):
Uh, what does it mean to youseeing your story help other
women recognize the the quoteunquote, like my friend um and
mother-in-love says, Dr.
Bell, see the recognize the redflags?

SPEAKER_02 (36:50):
Well, you know, when you when you go, okay, so when
you love somebody, when you lovesomeone and you you are writing
about it and you have suppressedemotions, it begins to pull
layers off, right?
So when you when you're dealingwith those layers, it's like,

(37:12):
you know, you have to not be indenial, right?
You have to not be in denial.
When you see the red flags,don't say, oh, I can love it
away from him or I can changehim and all this other kind of
stuff.
No, he is who he is.
You have to pray and see wherethis individual fits in your

(37:33):
life or not.
And don't be afraid to let go.
Don't be afraid to let go.
Don't be afraid to say, you knowwhat, this is not it.
If it's abusive, it's not it.
Not caring, um, that willmislead you, mistreat you, hurt
you.
Don't ignore it because you areyou feel within yourself, if you

(37:55):
let that go, you will be lovedeprived.

SPEAKER_04 (37:59):
Absolutely.
I 100% agree with that.
Absolutely.
I love that.
Um, before we get back to um goto our next person, I just want
to thank you so much, ProphetessLeah.
You have been a breath of freshair for this um anthology for

(38:19):
the listen, Linda, and you know,just I welcome you to the Listen
Linda family.
You have truly been anotherperson that has really supported
this movement and just beendoing everything you can,
whatever it is.
She is on it.
What you need me to do, what canI do?
And I just I truly appreciatethat about you.

(38:39):
Um, the next person we gotcoming up um is Myla.
Myla Marie.
And her chapter is calledDancing in the Storm.
Dancing in the storm.
And Mila, girl, you came intwirling with your anointing.
Girl, girl, let's talk about it,Myla.

(39:02):
Let's talk about it.
Now, let's your chapter, yourchapter, Mila.
Are you there?
She was here and then shedropped out.
Okay, so you done left thestairs.
Okay, are you okay?
Girl, I'm about to I'mintroducing you, girl.
You messing up our life, girl.
I'm sorry.

(39:24):
Your chapter focuses focuses onchoosing joy, even when life
tries to knock the wind out ofyou.
What taught you how to danceinstead of drown?

SPEAKER_12 (39:37):
Well, because I it was it was either dance or sink.
I've literally one of my friendssaid this a while back.
Um, um, he told me he was like,Mala, you are one of those
people that have just beenfighting since you left the
room.
Like, that was all I knew how todo.

(39:58):
I had I'm the type of personthat's going to continue to push
and push and push until I get itright.
And I don't know how God doeswith other people, but he knocks
me clean across my head, youknow, messed up.
So, and I thank God for that.

(40:20):
I thank God for that.
But yes, I it it's it's anatural thing.
I've just been fighting for solong that I just, you know,
started dancing.
Dance is my escape.
I used to be, I was a praisedancer for a long time, very
long time.
But yes, dance is my escape.

SPEAKER_04 (40:42):
Okay, now I know you she's so cute, and she also got
this cute little voice.
I just really love my littlevoice.
She looks so innocent and sweetand nice.
Um, you speak about movement ashealing.
What does dancing spirituallylook like for you?
That is the real question.
Like, spiritually, what doesthat look like for you?

SPEAKER_12 (41:04):
Connecting with God, allowing, recognizing that God
is inside of you, andrecognizing the connection
there.
Like, we there's no way possiblethat we can live, move, breathe,
dance without God.
His name literally means breath.
It's like one-in-one.

(41:25):
So when you dance spiritually,it's being in tune to the point
where you can feel and see HolySpirit, to where you walk in and
you talking, and you just embodywhat God has called you to do,
which is what dance is.
It's the it's the physicalinterpretation of whatever

(41:47):
you're expressing, like Davidwhen David danced.
Um, that is what I call dancingin the spirit, or yes.

SPEAKER_04 (42:01):
Now, um, what would you say to the woman who feels
too broken to move again?
What would you tell Papa?

SPEAKER_12 (42:10):
There is nothing, there is absolutely nothing that
God can't do, and that God willnot do.
The thing about brokenness iswhen you are there, you cannot
see that you are in a very placewhere God is the one that can
bring you together.

(42:30):
And it's in brokenness where wefind our relationship with God
and not being codependent on ourleaders or being codependent on
our parents or wherever we wereinstructed.
You find that in brokenness.
When you feel like everybody hasturned their backs on you, and

(42:51):
you feel whatever the case maybe, in my case, it was shame and
embarrassment because I was ateen mom.
I was a mom at a at a reallyyoung age, and I made a lot of
stupid mistakes.
And so even when I was goingthrough my brokenness, I wasn't
open enough to share that withanyone because I was so harshly

(43:13):
criticized, and it was likeexpecting me to know something
that I just wasn't taught, justexpected me to know and be and
do, you know, and we all do knowrights or wrong, don't get me
wrong, but in that place iswhere I found God, in that place
is where my faith grew.

(43:35):
In that place, in that brokenplace is where God was able to
mend the pieces because God is apotter with a play, and you
know, he mends the brokenness,and he makes you the scriptures.
This is one of my favoritescriptures.
It says he presents youfaultless in the presence of

(44:00):
like God presents you faultless,and he is able to keep you from
falling and hold you together.
That is my favorite scripture.
Um, we used to do it doingbenediction all the time, but
yes, so um God is able to putyou back together again and you

(44:21):
be better, wiser, you know,stronger.

SPEAKER_04 (44:26):
Um, I want to um ask you, um,how did contributing to this
anthology help you reclaim thatrhythm?

SPEAKER_12 (44:40):
Okay, it caused me to look back and see how far
I've made it and see how farI've come.
God has brought me such a longway.
God has brought me such a longway, and um, this anthology,

(45:03):
this assignment, it came up atthe right time, number one.
It came at the right timebecause I just closed a lot of
chapters.
I just did like I I just didlike a 30-day fast.
And during that fast, God brokeup a lot of stuff within me that
wasn't him, and he rebuilt me.

(45:23):
So it gave me the opportunity toreflect on how far God has
brought me and really just sitin that.

SPEAKER_04 (45:33):
Well, you know, um, I got onemore thing to ask you, and then
we're gonna move on to the next,the next person.
Um, the last thing I want toask, what moment inside of this
project touched you the most?
Like what moment while workingwith us touched you the most?

SPEAKER_12 (45:53):
Just the camaraderie and being in connection with a
group of women that just muchlike the last project that we
did, um, that have something tocontribute to each other, to one
another.
And, you know, being there, theencouraging words that are
shared throughout the groups andjust not feeling alone.

(46:16):
Because a lot of times aswriters, when we do our projects
as individual projects, it'slike being alone, you know.
Um, but in this case, we havesisters that keep you
accountable and encourages youand pushes you the way through,
you know, and it's it's muchneeded.

(46:37):
It's really, it's really muchneeded.
Because, you know, as a writer,um when you sometimes when you
don't have that accountability,I've like I've I have a book
I've been working on for threeyears.
You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_04 (46:48):
Like a book inside of the work about the nature.

SPEAKER_12 (46:56):
Like you can, when you don't have that
accountability, you can easilyget sidetracked, distracted, and
I don't know what it is aboutthe writing ministry, about the
the gift of writing, but everylittle thing can distract you,
everything.
Um, and I think that having umthis group of women who have all
their own strengths, and youknow, we've all come together,

(47:18):
having that accountability andthat encouragement really is a
highlight for me.

SPEAKER_04 (47:24):
Oh, well, we love you, Milo.
We love you.
I love y'all too.
Yo, sweet little, sweet littlemousey voice.
I really love the boy.
It just, it just, it does.
I be like, oh, but okay, I'm madat Milo, but I ain't mad no
more.
I just think so.
We appreciate you so much.
Um, we got um, I want to shoutout some people who are

(47:46):
watching.
Um, Dorcas, my lady, I'm notgonna butcher your name,
beautiful.

It's so many more people thatare joining right now, but these
are the people that actuallyleft comments.
But to everybody on the sound ofour voice, we appreciate you.

(48:32):
Now we're gonna go into Natashafrom Leak to Liberation, My
Journey Home.
And we're gonna start first withher chapter, and then we're
going to um move on and hear alittle bit more from Natasha.

SPEAKER_00 (48:50):
So let's start with Natasha's chapter with her
chapter trailer was drowningright before my eyes, but it
wasn't just the ceiling thatcollapsed, it was everything I'd
been holding together withsilence and pride.
For two years, I ignored thesmall leak in my bathtub, a drip

(49:13):
I thought would fix itself.
I didn't ask for help.
I let fear, shame, and pridetell me I could handle it alone.
But ignoring pain doesn't eraseit, it only spreads.
When my friend looked me in theeyes and said, You need to move.
I knew it wasn't just my housethat needed rebuilding, it was
my heart.

(49:37):
I left everything behind, thefurniture, the memories, the
mess.
With every wall rebuilt, I founda piece of myself restored.
With every coat of paint, Icovered the stains of yesterday.
God didn't just restore my home,He restored me.

(49:58):
On May 23rd, 2025, I moved intomy new home.
I call it my sanctuary.
Every floor, every wall whispersgrace.
Don't wait to fix what's broken.
Don't let fear or pride convinceyou that silence is strength.
Face the leak.
Because what feels like disastertoday may be the beginning of

(50:21):
your liberation.
Natasha Avet Hagen's Through theRain chapter.
From Leak to Liberation, MyJourney Home.
Produced by Listen LindaPublishing, where testimonies
turn into triumph.

SPEAKER_04 (50:40):
Yes, Natasha girl, you gotta come to the stage.
I'm trying to take it off now.
I'm sorry.
Girl, girl, girl, we gotta talkabout this chapter now.
When I say chapter, girl, yourchapter got deep.

(51:02):
So your chapter compares life'shidden wounds to spiritual
leaks.
What was the biggest leak youdidn't know that you was
draining in?

SPEAKER_10 (51:17):
The biggest leak that I was draining in is pride,
not um asking for help.
I mean, and not allowingallowing something so small to
become so big.
Um that was it freed me now tobe able to speak up immediately

(51:38):
if I have something wrong, don'tkeep things quiet and inside.

SPEAKER_04 (51:43):
Oh, that's that's yeah, I I read that in your
chapter because you stepped intoliberation so boldly.
Um when I read the chapter, Iwas Lord, I was like, oh my
goodness, what was the turningpoint where you said, Okay, you
know what?
Not another drop.
This is it.

SPEAKER_10 (52:03):
What was it when I heard that loud boom?

SPEAKER_04 (52:07):
I spiritually say it again, not the house, but
spiritually.

SPEAKER_10 (52:15):
Oh spiritually, spiritually, it's like I can't
hold stuff in anymore.
Um I have to have faith in Godand speak my mind and speak my
truth immediately.
Um and through all of whathappens physically, through

(52:38):
whatever whatever you're goingthrough or whatever's happening,
God is still with you and He'sgonna help you, and you don't
have to feel ashamed of anythingthat you're going through.

SPEAKER_04 (52:53):
Girl, how does staying healed look for you now?
Now that you got healed?
Like, how does that look for younow?
Staying healed.

SPEAKER_10 (53:06):
Staying healed, um, looking back is always a lesson
in everything in life.
It turns your lessons intoblessings into a testimony, and
you learn from what the thingsthat you're going through,
whether it's a leak or whatever,don't keep that inside, but
don't keep nothing inside, justum tell your truth, speak your

(53:31):
truth, and it's liberated me tospeak my truth as I keep saying,
but um that's how I feel thatthat um you have to be able to
free yourself from shame and umjust know that God is whatever,

(53:51):
even through all that mess, Godstill restored me, and I came
out better on the other side.
So yeah.

SPEAKER_04 (54:00):
Yeah, I know I gave you a little fluff um going into
the project about going deeperand deeper and deeper.
And um a lot of times peopletalk about the chapter, but more
than most is is I get the mostfeedback uh from from my
co-authors, from my contributorartists when they see the actual

(54:21):
trailer.
So, how did it feel when I sentyou that trailer of your
chapter?
What was that feeling that yousaw your hearing?

SPEAKER_10 (54:33):
I was like, wow, this is exactly I was like, wow,
this is exactly how I feltinside.
Um and to see that, but and tosee the wall, everything,
everything that you put in thevideo in the trailer happened,

(54:53):
but at the end, I came out withliberation.
It took some time, it took somehealing.
I had to move out and really umput my faith in God, and earth
angels came to my rescue aswell.
So don't be afraid to ask forhelp.

SPEAKER_04 (55:12):
Absolutely.
How being how did being part ofthis devotional strengthen or
stretch you?

SPEAKER_10 (55:21):
It stretched me to keep on telling my testimonies
because you heal a part eachtime you tell your testimony,
you heal a part of you thatneeds to be healed, and you
become bolder in speaking up andtelling your truth and your
testimonies.

SPEAKER_04 (55:40):
Okay, well, I I thank you.
We all thank you.
Um, if you guys have not pickedup this book, please do so
through the rain.
Okay, each lady will tell you umhow you can purchase it from
them, a signed copy of it fromthem, okay.
Um, I encourage everybody not topurchase it on Amazon.

(56:04):
I really want you all to supportthe the contributing authors and
get an actual signed copy, okay.
Amazon can't sign it for you,and I don't do signed copies,
okay?
Um, I do not do signed copies.

that, we finna have some, wefinna have a good Kiki with Dr.
Leanne, because she did not playwith me, y'all.
Okay, she'll play with me orabout me.
So we're finna get into it.

SPEAKER_00 (57:35):
That day I didn't run from the rain.
I ran into it.
Because sometimes the only wayto heal is to let heaven soak
you.
When I lost my daughter, theworld went silent.
I begged God to let me die too.
Depression chained me, guiltburied me, shame tried to erase
me.
But then, in the middle of mybreaking, I heard him whisper,

(57:59):
Leanne, I want to drench you ingrace.
In that moment, I lifted my handand let every drop wash the pain
away, every burden, everysecret, every tear.
God wasn't punishing me, he waspurifying me.
He reminded me that I wasn'talone, that the same God who

(58:22):
calms the storm was standing init with me.
His grace didn't just touch me,it drenched me.
He is raising up daughters whocarry his presence into the
darkest places.
Women who aren't afraid to getmessy in the storm if it means
someone else feels his reign.
You see, the most powerful womenaren't the loudest.
They're the ones anchored inGod, grounded in truth, wrapped

(58:45):
in his love, and completelydrenched in his grace.

Dr.
Lee Ann, Dr.
Lee Ann, my good girlfriend, Dr.
Lee Ann.
How are you?

SPEAKER_03 (59:23):
I'm doing good.
God is good.

SPEAKER_04 (59:27):
All the time with your beautiful self.
Now you talk about beingdrenched in God's grace, not
like lightly touched.
What moment in your life feltlike the biggest downpour of
God's grace?

SPEAKER_03 (59:44):
What moment?

SPEAKER_04 (59:46):
Yes.

SPEAKER_03 (59:50):
It was when I lost my daughter.
Um, and I know that that aloneis an event, but even in the
midst of that event.
It was really um having to makethat decision and to truly like
understand that when she wasactually gone, like that was

(01:00:12):
when I realized, yeah, I wasdrenched in grace at that
moment.

SPEAKER_04 (01:00:18):
And I want to ask you, what was the hardest part
of surrendering during thatstorm?
Like, what was the hardest partfor you?

SPEAKER_03 (01:00:26):
The hardest part of surrendering during that storm
was trying to accept what hadjust happened.
Um, because I gave birth to herand she was critically ill when
she came into this world, and Icould not truly understand why

(01:00:47):
or how God would save her justto take her from me.
Because that was the realizationthat I was dealing with.
That would that was really thatwas the realization, that was my
reality.
Like he brought her into thisworld, yes, he took her out, but
I couldn't understand how hesaved her life and then allowed

(01:01:09):
her to leave me.
So that was, yeah, that was thatwas tough.

SPEAKER_04 (01:01:14):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (01:01:16):
You know, I'ma over I'ma overcome over a lot of
things, but that was definitelytough.

SPEAKER_04 (01:01:21):
And I know it was it was hard for you to write.
Um, we went back and forth likeeverybody did.
Y'all know y'all fought me onthis, but um, and I appreciate
y'all fighting me on it, but Ireally wanted people to see it
and feel it and be there in themoment with you because I think
that's um like when I read abook or I read an anthology and

(01:01:44):
I I have so many questions,right?
Like after I be like, okay, sowhat happened?
But what what about this?
What happened with that?
I need more.
Like, and so I I read yourchapters.
Um, and everybody who I workwith, um, I'll send your stuff
back a hundred times if I don'tget it.
Because just like if I don'thave questions, if I have if I

(01:02:05):
don't have clarity as a reader,I know other people won't have
clarity.
And you want to bring people inthat moment with you.
And I know it hurts, but inorder to get uh full, fully
healed, you have to let it allout.
I feel like I I'm a firmbeliever, right?
Uh Leah, and you know I've saidthis a million times.
If you're gonna tell all yourbusiness, if you're gonna tell

(01:02:26):
your business, tell it all, ordon't tell nothing because you
leave gaps and holes, and thenone thing you don't want to do
is confuse your audience orconfuse the reader or have them
feeling like they didn't get it,they don't understand it because
if you do that, then you losethe audience and you lose the
reader.
And so I appreciate you all.

(01:02:46):
Um, but especially um you,right?
Um, your chapter was a lotdifferent than everybody else's
because you talk about, youknow, you're you know, losing
your child.
And you know, I love you and Ilove me, Cerese.
So, you know, I had to make surethat I try to tread lightly uh
when when when asking you forfeedback, right?

(01:03:08):
Um, but I tried to kind of do itlike you say with this drenched
in grace, right?
I I try to move lightly becauseyou know you can't you gotta
move lightly with Leanne becauseshe's gonna cut, she ain't gonna
play with you.
I call it force and she ain'tgonna play with so what does
grace look like for you now onthe other side of this?

(01:03:31):
Like, what does it look like foryou now?
And I'm not meaning that you'renot still there, right?
I I wanna be clear, right?
But what do I'm talking about onthe other side of finishing this
chapter?

SPEAKER_03 (01:03:42):
What does grace grace look like?
Yes, um, it looks likeresilience, um strength, when
you don't want to be strong, itlooks it looks like uh it's a
beautiful thing.

SPEAKER_04 (01:04:01):
Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_03 (01:04:02):
Uh what it what it did teach me was that I could
still be in pain and still havethe glory of the Lord on me.

unknown (01:04:10):
Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 (01:04:10):
And so when I see people, even like today, when I
see people and they say, you'rejust a breath of fresh air or
you're a ray of sunshine, that'sgrace.
When others who are ailing, andsome of them are doing some of
them are dealing with the samething that you've already
experienced, but they don't evenrealize that you are them.

SPEAKER_04 (01:04:32):
Yep, because you're handling it so well, and that's
God's grace.
That's you being grace.

SPEAKER_03 (01:04:38):
Grace is when you don't even realize that I've
gone through anything, and mostpeople don't know.
That's what that's what God'sgrace would do.
It'll have you looking shiny andpure as gold.
When you don't even feel likeyou feel like you ain't nothing
but a bag of a bag of dirtyrags, but it'll have you looking
like the cleanest of everything.

(01:05:01):
It'll have you smiling, it'llhave you in tears without
teardrops coming out your eyes,you know.
So when people say, Well, whyyou smile so much?
Ain't nothing but God's grace.
Amen.
It ain't nothing but it ain'tnothing but God's grace.
Literally.

SPEAKER_04 (01:05:28):
Now I want to ask you, what part of this anthology
made you say, God, this is whyyou had me here?

SPEAKER_03 (01:05:38):
I know that I have a story to tell.
And God told me that when hesaved me, um, because I made an
exchange with him, right?
I told God if he pulled me outof the rut that I was in, um, if
he saved my life, if he helpedme to overcome.
Um, and I know a lot of peopledon't like to know that people

(01:06:01):
bargain with God, but that wasmy plea, right?
I said every opportunity that Iget, whether it's 10 seconds, an
hour, or in this case, a wholechapter, 1,200 words, 5,000
words, I'm gonna say it.

SPEAKER_04 (01:06:15):
So God be the glory.

SPEAKER_03 (01:06:17):
You know, I'm his mouthpiece.
I'm his mouthpiece, and I made apromise to him.
He made promises to me.
I've made a promise to him, andI refuse to allow anything to
stop me from at least upholdingmy side of the bargain.

SPEAKER_04 (01:06:33):
I want to ask you one more one more question
before we move on to the nextperson.
Um, how did writing this chapterdeepen your appreciation for
God's grace?

SPEAKER_03 (01:06:50):
How did this it deepen my appreciation because
um it made me dig deep?
I mean, well, through you, itmade me dig deep.
It made me drive my it made medrive my tears, it made me pull
my big girl boomers up.
And and and it actually itactually helped me because you

(01:07:13):
can think, and I know there'sseveral women on this platform
right now that probably canunderstand this.
You can think that you haveovercome something.
Yes, I'm an overcomer.
I'm shaming the devil right now.
I am an overcomer.
However, you can think thatyou've grown and you have
overcome something, but it's notuntil you really start writing
um and you start pulling off,pulling those layers back.

(01:07:35):
It's kind of like when you'resitting with yourself, that
that's when you realize thatit's two things you're gonna
learn from that.
You either want to learn how faryou've come or how far you need
to go.
And so writing, writing mychapter helped me to see that
I've come a long way becausethere was a time where I
couldn't even put two words onthe paper.

(01:07:56):
And now, and now I'm like, okay,I'm at my limit.
I got so much more to say.
So I know that God graced mewith um the strength and the
ability to get it out.
But writing my chapter, it letme see that I've grown, and it
also let me see that I've got along way to go.
But for me to actually be beingdrenched in his grace is good,

(01:08:22):
but I have to give myself thesame grace.
Absolutely.
That's what I was waiting for.
Yeah, writing this chapterallowed me to forgive myself,
not to be so hard on myself, togive myself the same grace that
God has given me.

SPEAKER_04 (01:08:35):
Absolutely, that's what I was waiting on, girl.
Waiting on okay.
Well, I thank you.
You know, you my you my girl,you and Dr.
Audrey, and they're my forces,y'all.
Right there.
They do not play.
I love it.
I really don't.
Okay, you do not play aboutlisten, Linda child, Jacqueline
Cox, listen, Linda.

(01:08:55):
Y'all do not play.
I love, I appreciate y'all somuch.
Um, next up, we got my girl, mygirl, my girl.

(01:09:18):
we're gonna um get to Tia andask her some questions about her
chapter right here.

SPEAKER_00 (01:09:25):
For over 21 years, I carried a story that lived
inside me.
Silence wasn't healing, it washiding.
Beauty after the rain, a chapterby Tia Strickland.
But I am not what was done tome.
I am what I chose to become.

(01:09:49):
Beauty after the rain.
Through the rain devotionalanthology, where women from all
walks of life tell their storiesof how God brought them through
their toughest storms.
Pre-order now from TiaStrickland for$30 by contacting
her directly.
Listen, Linda presents.
Through the Rain DevotionalAnthology Coming Winter 2025,

(01:10:12):
walk through the rain with us.

SPEAKER_05 (01:10:15):
She's a turtle and dying to know this was not what
the love's over.

SPEAKER_04 (01:10:21):
All right, Tia Strickland, baby.
Tia came in soft but strong.
Okay, gentle but powerful.
Tia, your chapter speaks tofinding beauty after
devastation.
What was the ugliest storm thatyou survived that later produced

(01:10:44):
beauty?

SPEAKER_13 (01:10:48):
Me being raped by my father, my biological father.

SPEAKER_04 (01:10:55):
And you spoke about that.

SPEAKER_13 (01:10:57):
I took a lot out of it.
I did.
The first time ever.

SPEAKER_04 (01:11:05):
Can you give us like what was the ugliest part of
that that you survived?
Like how I I want you to godeeper and kind of explain your
answer.

SPEAKER_13 (01:11:15):
I would say the ugliest part would have to be me
testifying against my father inthe courtroom.
People may ask, well, why whynot the rape in you know itself?
No, I I dealt with that, but thehardest part was having to

(01:11:35):
testify against him.
And you know, you know, my twinsister have to lose our father.

SPEAKER_04 (01:11:46):
You write in such a reflective.
You you write in such areflective, healing voice.
Um what was the hardest truthfor you to face while writing
this chapter?

SPEAKER_13 (01:12:06):
If you would have seen my keyboard when I was
typing this, it was just floodedbecause I had to release and to
relive every moment, but itwasn't for myself, it was for
somebody else.
So that was the hardest partthat I had to do just by putting
it all out on paper.

SPEAKER_04 (01:12:27):
Yeah, because you know, they like to say um uh a
lot of my contributing writershave like to say that they are
the victim of my feedback.
Because my feedback when I gotmy okay, go a little deeper.
Tell me a little bit more aboutthis, tell me a little bit more
about that.
And uh Yeah, you did you got me.
You got me.

(01:12:48):
This is it.
This is it.
And I'm like, nope, this ain'tit yet.
Um Pamela Nance Johnson saidthat trigger warning was much
needed.
Absolutely, it was, it was, itwas.
It was a definitely a shellshock for me.
This is another first um as faras uh devotional stat um and
anthologies that I've done overthe course of these last few

(01:13:11):
years, and I've read somethinglike that, um, to that death and
that extreme.
Um, and I appreciate you so muchfor being so transparent and
vulnerable in that moment.
Um I want to ask you, what doesafter the rain look like for
your life now?

SPEAKER_13 (01:13:32):
After the rain.
I still get a few raindrops.
I have to be honest.
But I'm living a differentperson.
I've let that person die.
Um I'm over the rainbow.

(01:13:54):
I can now look back at that andbe like, this has brought me
through.
Where, you know, I'm now amother of three.
I'm a wife, um full-time worker,you know, public speaker, you
know, for domestic violence andfor sexual assault awareness,
where I speak to, you know, I goto the jails and then I even
speak to the kids.

(01:14:14):
That's overcoming and you know,in support groups.

SPEAKER_04 (01:14:20):
What did you discover about yourself while
writing your chapter?

SPEAKER_13 (01:14:30):
I had to or I discovered that I could do it.
For 21 years I held on to it.
I kept telling myself I couldn'tor I wasn't.
Um I discovered that I had thatinner strength that I knew I
had, but I just had to believein myself to believe that I can

(01:14:52):
do it and that I can't show it.

SPEAKER_04 (01:14:56):
Absolutely.
Because you you did and you dida phenomenal job.
I'm not girl.
When I say yours was the leastone that I had to like the least
edits, um, she did a phenomenaljob.
Um how did this sisterhoodsupport you through that
healing?

SPEAKER_13 (01:15:16):
The whole group was uplifting.
As many times I text you, I'mdone, I'm over it, I can't do
it.
And then just motivation just tojust to read the motivation in
that group chat.
Um, even now, up to the day, Istill go back through it

(01:15:36):
sometimes when I'm having alittle down moment just to get
that positive motivation to keepme going.
Um, I don't say many words toanybody, but people don't
understand that I do read a lot.
So I may not comment in thegroup chat, but I'm reading.
I'm taking in those motivationwords, I'm taking in those words
of encouragement.

(01:15:56):
You know, those would reallypush to me and keep me going.
So I feel like this thesisterhood is like a forever
thing.

SPEAKER_04 (01:16:06):
Yes, yes, it is.
Pamela said, What an amazingnight with powerful testimonies.
I cannot wait to read them all.
Pamela, I really need we got onemore.
We got one more.

(01:18:08):
And I cannot wait to continueworking with you.
Now, last but certainly notleast, is Miss Yolanda Adams and
not open up my heart, okay?
This is my mama yo.
Uh, a friend of mine, she's thatI went to school with, Laquitia
Hollister.
This is her mom, Yolanda Adams,and I call her Mama Yo.

(01:18:32):
Um, and we went to collegetogether, and I want to first um
her chapter is called, herchapter is called When Home
Becomes a Storm, God Became MyShelter.
Now we will get into hertrailer.

SPEAKER_00 (01:18:52):
Night and a blow from her own mom with a steel
crowbar that shattered more thanjust her teeth.

(01:19:44):
Love it, love it.
She survived the storm.
She survived the screen.
And now her testimony is settingothers free.

(01:20:06):
Go get your copy of the raindevotional anthology.
Now available on Amazon.
Let your mind's testimony remindyou that even in your storm, God
is still your shelter.

SPEAKER_06 (01:20:22):
What happened to that awful word?
Can you tell me the question ofthe Honor?

SPEAKER_04 (01:20:36):
Yolanda, Yolanda, Yolanda.
Woo wee.
Uh, I just want to say that thisbook, I have done so many
anthologies, and everybody, um,their their conversation is
usually the same, right?
You usually get stories about uhthe man cheating or you know um

(01:21:03):
uh illness or death in a family,right?
Is you know, you usually getthose types.
But with this anthology, withyour ladies' chapters, um, Dr.
Audrey Ann speaking about, youknow, divorcing, coming back
after 23 years, I never hadnobody talk about that before.
I've had nobody talk aboutmanipulation and the spiritual

(01:21:27):
warfare behind it, like Dr.
Leah Kelly.
I've had nobody talk aboutbeing, you know, sexually
assaulted and raped by their ownfather like Tia have.
I have I haven't talked aboutanybody going through storms in
their life where they felt likethe only way to break out of
that was through dance andspiritual warfare coming at them
at every angle.

(01:21:50):
Mila did that.
Natasha talked about her homecaving in, but her life caving
in at the same time.
You ladies in these chapters areuh Lee Ann and her talking about
the death of her daughter andjust being so so vulnerable.
Like these are different typesof stories that a lot of times

(01:22:11):
when I was looking through thedevotionals and the anthologies
that I've done before, it's kindof always the same story.
So a lot of times people feellike there's nobody in there
that that understands what I'mgoing through, though, because
I'm going through this.
So you guys are bringing those,you ladies are bringing those
stories to light, and I applaudand appreciate you.

(01:22:33):
But Yolanda Adams, I have nevernot just not read anything, but
I've not um produced anythinglike this before, but I have not
read anything like this before.
I have not experienced anybodytalk or go through anything like

(01:22:54):
you have before.
And for you to choose, listen,Linda Publishing to tell this
story, I thank you so much.
Because your chapter, this oneis for every survivor.
Um, you wrote bravely aboutstorms happening inside of your
own home.

(01:23:14):
The place that's meant toprotect you is supposed to be
your safe space.
Um, what does safety look likefor you during that season in
your life?

SPEAKER_11 (01:23:27):
Um when I was, it was non-existent.
Um I didn't have anyone to talkto.
So I found myself praying and uhbeing like really involved in
church and just because I kindof was like in denial, like this

(01:23:50):
is really happening to me.
I'm like 14 years old.
I'm like, you know, I was inchurch, saved, no problem.
You know, people want kids thatare, you know, good achievers.
And for me to have to go throughall of the trauma and the abuse
with my mother when I was doingeverything good.

(01:24:16):
And it felt undeserved.
It felt undeserved.

SPEAKER_04 (01:24:22):
Because when you say you were doing everything good,
explain, explain to the audiencewhat you mean by you were doing
everything good.

SPEAKER_11 (01:24:30):
Everything good, like I uh I mentioned, it would
be like um my mother would um domaybe something to my father, or
maybe she felt like she didn'twant to cook.
And if I decided, you know, I'mgonna solve the problem by
cooking, or I'm gonna solve theproblem by writing a bill, or

(01:24:54):
doing whatever that thing thatshe decided that she didn't want
to do, um, then she looked at meas like, you know, once I say
I'm not I'm not gonna do it,then you're not gonna do it.
And I thought I was makingpeace, but it worked against me
because then then that's whenthe abuse initially started.

SPEAKER_04 (01:25:19):
How did you how did God use that storm to reveal
your strength?

SPEAKER_11 (01:25:26):
So um again, what I end up doing, even at such a
young age, I would be laying outon the floor praying at two or
three o'clock in the morning.
Never really realizing that atthat time is where God was

(01:25:51):
really giving me a prayer life.
So at three or four o'clock now,even still, I pray and I
intercede on behalf of otherpeople when everybody else is
going on about their business,you know, and I still feel that

(01:26:13):
way at 14 and feel like 60.
I'm the person that is trying tofix the world, pray for the
world, intercede for my family.

SPEAKER_04 (01:26:29):
What would you tell the woman who is still living
inside her house size stormtoday?
Like somebody who is trappedinside of those walls, and like
you say, just never had thatsafe space because the mom or
the dad is not providing anytype of safe space for them.
Like, what would you tell thatwoman who is still living inside

(01:26:52):
of that house?

SPEAKER_11 (01:26:56):
You know, it it's you have to make people
accountable even though it'suncomfortable.
And sometimes, you know, I nevertalked about it.
So even now, many, many yearslater, even after having
extensive dental work, I feellike I'm talking about it now

(01:27:19):
because both of my parents aredeceased, and the all of the
dental work that I had isbeginning to fade.
So it's only so much that you'regonna continue to hide.
So you have to be able to trustsomebody to be, you know,
somebody to to also help youbecause you can't carry those

(01:27:44):
burdens on your own.
And now also being a mother anda and and a grandmother, I don't
want that for my children.
I so you know, you know, I askmyself, why now?
You know, it's been many years.

SPEAKER_04 (01:28:07):
But because this was something that you didn't even
tell your kids about your mom.

SPEAKER_11 (01:28:14):
Right.
I never told my kids that whathappened.
My kids still don't know thatshe she did that.
No, I never I never shared withmy kids that my mother was the
one who hit me in my mouth whenwith the cob with the crowbar.
Never.

(01:28:38):
But they need to know nowbecause they need to be able to
make better better choices inwith their own relationships and
be able to, you know, see seesigns, and then you know, we
pacify stuff and we we just tryto make it think like, oh, you
know, it you know you know ityou know, just making a whole

(01:29:01):
bunch of excuses instead ofholding people accountable and
making better choices, who youwant to, you know, have children
with, who you you want to livewith, you know, who you want to
get married to.

SPEAKER_04 (01:29:17):
Because that mask that mask can only be there for
so long, but people meet you theum I I I I was watching somebody
say this the other day, I can'tremember who it was, but they
said you meet the representativefirst and then you meet the
person.
But with you, it was differentbecause it was no representative

(01:29:37):
there.
You you lived with that person.
Um, how did writing this in thisanthology help you to reclaim
that voice?
What do you think happened whilewriting in this anthology?
Well, I gave you some feedbacktoo.

SPEAKER_11 (01:29:56):
Yes, you gave me plenty of feedback and And even
then with the feedback that youyou required I still was very
much trying to protect mymother.

(01:30:16):
You know, I I I just was like,oh, you know, well, she hit me
with the uh just crow like ametal object, but no, she hit me
with a tire iron iron uhcrowbar, which is specifically
made for a tire repair.
So that just shows the the lackof concern that she even had

(01:30:41):
about my well-being.
She wanted to hurt me.
You know what I'm saying?
It wasn't a a broomstick orsomething, you know.

SPEAKER_04 (01:30:49):
Like something normal for Chicago to eat, you
know.
But we get to broomsticks allthe time over here in Chicago.

SPEAKER_11 (01:30:55):
Yeah, and and but that still happened over when my
I was adult over my 30s.
So for somebody to causethemselves still wanting to
whoop you and you 30, 32, 33years old, it's some type of
mental illness or somethinggoing on.
You know, I have a 20, my my mykids, I wouldn't, I don't even

(01:31:20):
try to fight my kids.
So for me to have kids and thento think about my mother will
still call herself chastising mewhen I was real grown.
I mean, I was a real adult.

SPEAKER_04 (01:31:38):
What does it mean to you now, knowing that your truth
is is is going to umpotentially, not potentially, it
is going to set others free fromfrom domestic violence.
Like getting your story toldnow, what does that mean to you?

SPEAKER_11 (01:31:58):
Well, I'm I'm super excited.
Um you know, at first I wasquestioning it because I kind of
thought, you know, that I wasgonna get feedback from my
family.
Um, maybe, you know, some smartcomments or something like that,
or maybe they would feel like asense of betrayal, also.

(01:32:25):
You know, but nobody protectedme, and I don't have to protect
my mother because she's or mydad or my grandmother.
So those are the three keypeople that I try to protect,
and I know no longer have toprotect those um individuals
anymore.

(01:32:45):
But you know, they all madeexcuses for my mother's
behavior, and they didn'tprotect you, they didn't protect
the kid.
They did not.

SPEAKER_04 (01:32:58):
Well, I want to thank you because I know um I I
was on the phone with you, and Iknow um I was on the phone with
all of you ladies, actually, all12 of you ladies, and so I know
um what it took for you all togo, and I appreciate you all
trusting me in this process toto get that story out.

(01:33:20):
Um, and a lot of times we don'tunderstand how much our story
affects us until we get it out,until we tell that truth.
And like um Milo um soeloquently put it, um, that a
lot of times, you know, when wetell our, I think I don't know
if that was Milo or if it wasNatasha, but one of you all said
that when you tell your truthand you keep telling your truth,

(01:33:44):
you unpack those hurtful thingsand you're able to let them go.
I want to say it, I don't thinkit was both of you, um, but that
is so true.
When you when you write it outand you let it out, um it it
really heals you because wetalked about that over the
phone, me and you.

(01:34:05):
You said is this gonna be atherap, a therapeutic thing for
me.
So, what do you think was ittherapeutic for you after going
through this process with me umand and letting it go and being
able to speak on it?
Was it therapeutic for yourhealing?

SPEAKER_11 (01:34:20):
Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
Um it was, and um, I'm like,it's a sense of um a release.
I feel like, you know, now it'ssomething I don't have to hide
anymore.
You know, and the the thetherapeutic part of it is also

(01:34:44):
is when something happens to youlike that, you think that you
somehow deserved it.
You know, yeah, and now I canreally say it happened to me,
but that's not who I am, and Ididn't deserve it, and I don't

(01:35:06):
have to hide it, so I don't haveto start lying, you know.
Now this scar is becoming moreand more visible, and now I'm
thinking, oh my this scar isshowing, my tooth is starting to
crack.
What uh I gotta say somethingcreative as to what happened.
No, my mother hit me in mymouth.
That's what happened.
You know, I didn't I didn't bumpit.

(01:35:28):
I didn't, you know what I'msaying?
That's what happened.

SPEAKER_04 (01:35:35):
Well, we appreciate you, we love you, we support
you, and we we're gonna keepencouraging you to um continue
to tell your truth because nomatter what anybody else says,
you have to live it, you have togo through these things.
