Celebrating 50, Reverence, & Closet Christianity
Episode 50 went live last night and it’s time to celebrate 50 episodes!
50 episodes where I faced a swarm of bees in my office, earthquakes, and power outages. Before this one, my smoke alarms went off for absolutely no reason.
That’s right. The enemy does NOT want me to record this podcast.
And to that, Happy 50 EPISODES of Grace for Breakfast!
Have you ever shared your truth without the slightest twitch? You know when you say something to someone that you can’t hold in but inside, you twitch a little and thoughts come flooding in telling you, “Man, I shouldn’t have said that.”
When you feel that your spirit has reached the point where it no longer compromises, you are walking in strength. I did not twitch the slightest bit recording this episode. A new feeling that was glorious.
I told you the other day that I’d be sharing some heavy things on my heart so here are the topics:
- Reverence- what does that mean and where do you stand?
- Why we moved back to the states
- Addressing closet Christians
- Bonus: some miracles that have happened
- As always, encouragement & reflection for you to ponder on
| Listen to Episode 50 |
Moving forward, I’ll be preparing an episode for Sundays where I’ll be a messenger of sorts, sharing the rawness of lessons I’m consuming and giving you my best Biblical breakdown. I’m not a theologian or a preacher, just a messenger.
On Tuedays, I still plan to release interviews to share the stories of others.
I ask that you share this episode far and wide and PLEASE leave a review for the podcast.
And if you are moved by this work and feel the nudge to support it, click here to become a patron.
I look forward to continuing this work and connecting with you in a new way and I hope that you do stay along for the journey.
With so much love (I mean it wholeheartedly),
Iviana

"Oh Father, give me the words." That's what I end up telling myself as I draft the beginning of an email. It's hard to start these when I have so much to say and some time has passed. But when you're among friends.. Happy New Year and Happy Friday Reader! The end of year scaries that try to kick in for many people didn't get a chance to stick around for me because I was too busy fighting off the flu with my entire family. New Year's Eve was spent holding a giant bowl under my daughter's mouth...
Trigger Warning: This episode contains content related to sexual trauma, rape, and abuse. Listeners, please beware. Anyone who is sensitive to this topic please be advised that I’ll be talking about some of the incidents that occurred that day. Reader, I've shuffled back and forth for the past three or four days debating whether or not I should share this story with you. I've never gone this deep before. You know I've been through some stuff but most of it has been vague for the most part....
Every person faces trauma in a different way—either now or later when it comes unexpectedly. It’s true for many of us. Trauma happens and the results can be ugly. Some of us have the support needed. Some of us numb it out. Some of us suffer silently. Reader, thank you for the well-messages after my email last month and for the encouragement to keep doing what I’m doing. In the past, I would have just hidden away in my cocoon and never invited you into what was happening in my inner world....
