Hey Kingdom BFF!

What if your beliefs about God, life, and success were shaped long before you were ever conscious of them?

Could systemic oppression be influencing more than just politics and policy—but also your faith, your mindset, and even your relationships?

Are you trying to align with God’s will using tools that were never designed to bring you into true freedom?

In this powerful kickoff to our new series on Systemic Oppression, we’re peeling back the layers of how society and culture subtly shape our core beliefs—sometimes before we even take our first breath. These belief systems often masquerade as truth but can keep us spiritually misaligned, emotionally stuck, and frustrated in areas like health, wealth, and relationships.

This episode is for the believer who’s tired of doing all the "right" things but still not seeing the fruit they know God promised. It’s for the high achiever who wants transformation—not just behavior modification.

You’ll discover why willpower isn’t enough and why true breakthrough requires support, awareness, and spiritual alignment.

I pray this episode blesses you and helps you to begin uncovering the real roots of oppression—and the pathway to Kingdom-level freedom.

Enjoy!

Your Kingdom BFF,

Raquel

----Here is the homework that I referenced in this episode----

As you continue reflecting on today’s episode, set aside some quiet time this week to journal through these prompts. Track your emotional responses and take note of any triggers that surface along the way:

1. Define Success God's Way: Reflect on how you currently define success in your wealth, health, and relationships. → Is your definition shaped more by God’s Word or by culture’s standards? Identify Misalignment & Barriers:

2. Take inventory of your life. → Where do you sense misalignment between God’s promises and your lived experience? → What emotional, social, or cultural beliefs might be creating roadblocks to the abundance God desires for you?

3. Unlearn Limiting Beliefs: Ask God to reveal any thoughts or behaviors you need to release. → What negative patterns have you accepted as truth that may be rooted in trauma, tradition, or systemic norms? Honor the Journey: → What signs of growth can you celebrate right now, even if you haven’t “arrived”? → Where do you need to show yourself more grace and patience in the process?

4. Testify in the Tension: → What part of your journey could encourage someone else—even if it’s still unfolding?

5. Don’t wait until it’s wrapped in a bow—there’s power in sharing as you go.
