Shame has a way of making us hide, shrink back, and feel like we’ll never be enough. But what happens when God calls you anyway?In this heartfelt episode of the National Women’s Ministry Podcast, Neo sits down with longtime friend and Grace Point Gold Coast’s Flourish Ladies Leader, Lydia Eves, for an honest conversation about shame, restoration, worship, and returning to God.Lydia shares her powerful testimony of battling feelings of unworthiness, carrying the weight of past mistakes, and learning how to worship freely again through music ministry. Together, they talk about what it means to show up even when you feel broken, how God restores identity, and the life-changing moment that reminded Lydia that grace is greater than shame.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt disqualified by their past, struggled to forgive themselves, or wondered if God could still use them.✨ “God has already forgiven you. It’s time you learn to forgive yourself too.”Scripture Focus:Psalm 34:5“They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.”We pray this conversation reminds you that you are chosen, loved, and never too far gone for God’s grace.

In this episode, we sit down with Sister Fiona Gabriel, pastor's wife at Grace United Pentecostal Church in Lynbrook and Christian counsellor, to talk about what it really looks like to be set free from fear. Sis. Fiona shares her powerful testimony of living with crippling, debilitating fear for over 30 years, the shame that kept her bound, and the moment God truly delivered her. Drawing from Psalm 34:4, this conversation is an honest and encouraging reminder that freedom is possible, no matter how long you've been carrying it.Show NotesThis month's theme: Free from FearKey Scripture: Psalm 34:4 - "I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."In this episode we talk about:Fear as a real human emotion and when it becomes the ruling emotion in our livesThe shame that often wraps around fear and keeps us from seeking helpSis. Fiona's testimony of decades of irrational, consuming fear and the moment of deliveranceThe power of confession and bringing your struggle into the light with someone you trustHow God doesn't always calm the storm around us, but calms the storm within usWalking in victory on the other side of deliverance and choosing truth over old patternsTrusting God with the things that still weigh on us (like finances, church building projects, and the unknown)Guest: Sister Fiona Gabriel, Pastor's wife at Grace United Pentecostal Church, Lynbrook | Christian Counselor.Host: Sis. Neo Dela Cruz | National Women's Ministry PodcastIf this episode has blessed you, share it with someone who might need the encouragement today.

What happens when the weight of guilt feels heavier than the promise of grace? In this heart-to-heart episode, Neo sits down with Sister Lute, who serves in the rural heart of Australia’s Northern Territory. Together, they dive into the life-changing power of Romans 8:1 and discuss why so many believers struggle to accept God’s "no-strings-attached" forgiveness.Sis. Lute shares a vulnerable personal testimony from her childhood that perfectly illustrates how our own guilt—rather than God’s anger—often creates the distance we feel in our spiritual walk. From teaching Sunday School in Fiji to ministering in Alice Springs, Sis. Lute brings a powerful perspective on breaking the "mental cycle" of condemnation and walking in true FREEDOM.Key Takeaways• The Completeness of God’s Love: Romans 8:1 isn't just a suggestion; it is a sure promise. In Christ, there is a total absence of condemnation for those who walk after the Spirit.• The Trap of Guilt: Guilt is like a snare (a trap) that tries to bind our limbs and necks. Freedom in Christ allows us to lift our heads in praise and move our feet to spread the Gospel.• Forgiving Yourself: Often, the hardest person to receive forgiveness from is yourself. Luta discusses how to stop "willful sinning" without falling into the trap of self-punishment.• Knowing the Truth: Just like a friend who defends you against a lie because they know your character, a deep relationship with God allows you to immediately "filter out" the lies of the enemy.Scripture ReferencesRomans 8:1 > "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit."• Romans 6:23: The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life.• John 8:1-11: The story of the woman caught in adultery (God condemns the sin, but saves the sinner).• John 8:44: Recognizing that the devil is the father of lies.Reflection QuestionIs there a "mental snare" of guilt holding your head down today? Remember, Jesus paid the price publicly so you could live FREELY in His peace.Connect with UsIf this episode encouraged you, share it with a sister who needs a reminder that she is deeply loved.

Free from Sin: A Conversation with Sister Morena BehrendorffWhat does it really mean to be free from sin? In this heartfelt February episode of National Women's Ministry, we sit down with Sis Morena, pastor's wife at Apostolic Life Church Adelaide, for an honest conversation about freedom, forgiveness, and faith.Sis. Morena opens up about her journey with God, sharing vulnerable moments and reminds us that "progress doesn't always look like moving forward; sometimes it looks like refusing to retreat."In this episode, we explore:What "free from sin" truly means in daily lifeHow to move forward when guilt lingers after repentanceThe power of daily repentance and spiritual disciplinesNavigating seasons when the enemy tries to convince you God has abandoned youWhy worship becomes obedience, and obedience becomes freedomSister Morena's anchor scripture—"Greater is He who is within me than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4)—carried her through her darkest season, and she shares practical wisdom on prayer, fasting, and standing firm on God's promises.Whether you're feeling stuck in a cycle, struggling with shame, or simply need a reminder that your position in Christ never changes—this conversation will encourage your heart.Key Scripture: Romans 6:18 - "Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness."Instagram:⁠https://www.instagram.com/nationalwomensministries/⁠Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/nationalwomensministries
