About this listen

 Welcome to The Forge | Built by Women — where strength is not suggested, it’s expected.

This is the space where women who have already been through the fire gather to forge new paths, sharpen their impact, and build lasting legacies. No more basic “find yourself” conversations — this is the deep end. Here we tackle the real, the raw, and the relentless: leadership, spiritual warfare, marketplace strategy, legacy building, and the soul-forging battles no one else wants to talk about. Because you weren’t just made—you were forged.

    This Mother’s Day, we’re not handing out clichés—we’re raising up Deborahs, Rahabs, and Hannahs. This episode of The Forge is a fiery tribute to the fierce, obedient, God-fearing women of Scripture—the ones who didn’t play it safe, but changed history through surrender. Now, when we say “baddies,” we’re not talking Instagram filters and sass—we’re talking about women who obeyed even when it cost them everything. Women who broke rules, broke jars, broke cycles—and still got written into the story of redemption. In this episode, we dive into:
    • 🔥 What makes a biblical “baddie”
    • 👑 Women in Scripture who walked in bold, holy obedience
    • 🤱 The call to spiritual motherhood, not just biological
    • 🛡 A prophetic word for women who feel overlooked, unseen, or unqualified
    If you’ve ever felt “too much,” “too broken,” or “too tired”—this one’s for you.
    You’re not too much. You’re called. You’re dangerous—to the enemy. 🔗 Scriptures: Genesis 16, Genesis 38, Judges 4, Joshua 2, Luke 1, John 12, Titus 2
    📘 Recommended Reading: Liturgy of the Ordinary, The Making of Biblical Womanhood
    💥 For the daughters, mothers, mentors, and wild women building legacy—this is your altar call.

    Ever feel like your spirituality has been buried beneath grocery lists, laundry piles, and lukewarm coffee? In this episode of The Forge, we flip the script on sacred spaces and learn how to build altars in the middle of everyday chaos. Because Scripture doesn’t say God only shows up in temples—it says, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it” (Genesis 28:16). Join us as we dive into:
    • Why the mundane isn’t void of God—it’s full of Him
    • The lie of the “big spiritual moment”
    • What Elijah, Hagar, and a Samaritan woman teach us about finding God in the ordinary
    • Three practical ways to see the sacred in your daily life
    This one’s for the burned-out parent, the grocery aisle crier, the invisible worker, and anyone who’s ever asked, “God, are You even here?” Spoiler: He is. 🔗 Scriptures: Genesis 16:13 | 1 Kings 19:11–12 | John 4 | Romans 12:1 | 1 Thessalonians 5:17–18

    “What Is The Forge? (And Why You Might Not Be Ready for It)”
    May 3 2025
    This isn’t a podcast. It’s a pressure chamber. The Forge is where spiritually scarred women rise to build legacy from the ashes.
    This is not for spectators. Not for comfort addicts. And definitely not for the faint of conviction. Built by women. Forged in fire. We’re reclaiming calling, confronting the sacred shadows, and disrupting everything soft, shallow, and sugarcoated. Expect raw conversations, holy resistance, and deep spiritual training that goes beyond Sunday and straight into the soul. You won’t just listen here.
    You’ll train.
    You’ll rise.
    You’ll build. Welcome to The Forge.
