๐THE SPIRIT OF NARCISSISM: DISCERNMENT FOR THE LAST DAYS
Although the majority of my clients are women healing from narcissistic abuse by men, the spirit of narcissism is not gender-specific. It can operate through men or women, leaders or laypeople, spouses, parents, friends, coworkers, and even within church spaces. ๐Scripture warns us plainly: โBut know this: In the last days perilous times will come. For people will be lovers of selfโฆ lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its powe


I'VE WALKED THROUGH HELL, BUT I DIDN'T STAY THERE!
Iโve been that woman. The one who was: Abandoned Rejected Orphaned Abused Falsely accused while I was the one actually being abused Betrayed by those I only ever loved and helped Afraid Confused Making a poor choice because of a wound from another Basing my value on body imperfections Left wondering if Iโd ever be enough... Iโve cried until I threw up. Iโve laid in bed wondering if anyone even cared. Iโve watched my children suffer at the hands of someone who was supposed to


โIโm sorryโ is a startโฆ but it is NOT repairโ
An apology without change is not reconciliationโitโs just manipulation & a pause button on the same pattern. In healthy relationships, words matterโbut repair requires action. Biblically, being โsorryโ was never meant to be the end of the story. Godโs model includes repentance, responsibility, and restoration. ๐ Saying โIโm sorryโ acknowledges pain. ๐ Repair addresses the damage and changes future behavior. Biblical โSorryโ Looks Like Repentance In Scripture, repentance is


๐GRATEFULNESS VS. ENTITLEMENT: THE FRUIT OF EACH๐
One of the greatest shifts we can make as Overcomers in Him is choosing gratefulness instead of entitlement. These two postures produce drastically different fruit in our livesโspiritually, emotionally, mentally, and even physically. THE FRUIT OF ENTITLEMENT Entitlement is rooted in a lack of faith. It whispers, โGod owes meโฆ people owe meโฆ life owes me.โ ๐And the fruit shows up quickly: Complaining Anxiety Depression Irritability Criticism Blame shifting Resentment Emotion


๐ To Our Medical Workers, Firefighters, and Law Enforcement Officers: Youโre Carrying More Than Most People Realize
In todayโs world, those who serve on the front lines are facing more trauma than ever before. Not just the trauma you witness on the job, but the secondary traumaโthe emotional weight of what you must see, hear, absorb, and still keep going. What many donโt understand is that first responders and medical professionals are some of the most impacted by unprocessed trauma, yet are often the least supported emotionally. And this trauma doesnโt stay at work. It shows up in: ๐จ Bur


โ๏ธโBlessed is she who knows God is her Defenderโฆโโ๏ธ
Because when God defends you, you donโt have to. If youโve survived narcissistic abuse, you know this pain well: ๐น Triangulation โ lies passed through others ๐น Flying monkeys โ people manipulated to attack your character ๐น Bearing false witness โ accusations meant to provoke, intimidate, or silence you But here is the truth that sets Overcomers free: The Lord is your Defender, your Redeemer, and your Vindicator. โThe Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.โ (Ex


๐ฅ When Your Mind Wonโt Stop Loopingโฆ Try This.
Rumination. Overthinking. Replaying. Spiraling. Most survivors donโt realize these arenโt โjust thoughtsโ โ theyโre protector parts trying to keep you safe. But you can retrain your brain. God made our brains to be neuroplastic which means we can rewire & learn new defaults. Introducing the Redirection Bracelet Method-A Form of Pattern Interrupt ๐๐ค๐ค A simple, science-backed/evidence based + faith-filled tool we use in Overcomers in Him. โจ How it works: Wear a stretchy b


๐ฉทThe Healing Journey: From Brokenness to Beauty๐ฉท
Over four years as a single mom and many more years as a "single wife," Iโve walked a road many of you know too well. Itโs a path marked by heartbreak, endurance, and, ultimately, healing. Some of my deepest healing from a toxic 23-year marriage came during my time as a single mom, while other pieces of my heart were mended in the midst of a future relationship. Healing from severe complex trauma (C-PTSD) is not a straight lineโitโs a journey. A long, messy, and deeply transf


๐พ Barking Back or Standing Firm? ๐พ
The Lord often teaches us deep truths in the simplest ways. One day while my dog, Izzy, was outside, our neighborโs dog began barking. Naturally, Izzy joined in, as if she had no choice but to respond. But the Lord gently showed me something: Izzy isnโt less of a protector if she chooses not to bark backโespecially when I, her master, am telling her not to. How often do we as believers fall into the same trap? Someone barks at us, triggers us, or tries to bait us into a fight


๐ฟ Givers vs. Takers: Servanthood or Self-Centeredness? ๐ฟ
The Bible teaches us that greatness comes through servanthood, not self-centeredness. Jesus Himself said: โWhoever wants to become great among you must be your servantโ (Matthew 20:26). Yet in todayโs world, we see the stark difference between those who live to give and those who live to take. ๐น Givers reflect the Spirit of Christ. ๐น Takers often reflect a narcissistic spiritโego-driven, entitled, and self-serving. Characteristics of Takers (Narcissistic Spirit) Always aski


๐ Breaking Free from Confirmation Bias & Limiting Beliefs
Have you ever noticed how when you expect something to go wrong, it often does? Or how when you believe someone will disappoint you, you start looking for the proof that they will? Thatโs not coincidence โ thatโs confirmation bias in action. ๐ง Definition: Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information that confirms what we already believe โ even if itโs not true. Itโs how we create self-fulfilling prophecies that keep us trapped in cycl


โจ๏ธINSTANT GRATIFICATION VS THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT โจ๏ธ
We live in a culture that constantly screams โNow!โ โ but as believers and Overcomers in Him, we are called to a higher standard. Instant gratification is rooted in control and ungratefulness, and it directly conflicts with the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), especially patience, self-control, and faithfulness. When we chase after instant gratification, we are essentially saying: โI donโt trust Godโs timing.โ โI need to take control because I canโt wait.โ โWhat I hav
