What if it’s not too late – to pursue your dreams or live the life you always imagined?

In this episode of Eternal Echoes, host Katharine Rose sits down with actress and breast cancer survivor Anona Tolar.

Anona shares her journey of coming to faith at 16, laying down her dream of acting, and then—decades later—stepping back into it at age 50 with bold trust in God. From landing roles in films like Ride Along to working alongside industry icons like Glenn Close and Ron Howard, her story is a testament to God’s perfect timing and faithfulness.

But beyond the spotlight, this episode dives deep into the heart.

Anona vulnerably opens up about her lifelong struggle with believing she is truly loved and enough—and the pivotal moments where God met her in that pain. From a life-changing acting class breakthrough to surrendering fear during her battle with breast cancer, her testimony is filled with raw honesty and hope.

You’ll walk away reminded that:

-It is never too late to pursue the dreams God has placed in your heart

-Rejection is not a reflection of your worth

-Fear does not get the final say—faith does

-And most importantly… you are already enough in Christ

This conversation will stir your faith, challenge your perspective, and inspire you to take the next step of obedience—no matter your age or stage of life.

What do you do when the enemy comes in like a flood?

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Eternal Echoes, host Katharine Rose sits down with prayer warrior and intercessor Linda Georgette to talk about spiritual warfare, deliverance ministry, and the life-saving power of Scripture.

From surviving a violent relationship and literal gunfire, to stepping into deliverance ministry, to building what she calls a “spiritual arsenal” of memorized Scripture, Linda shares how the Word of God became her weapon.

She speaks candidly about fear, discernment, red flags in relationships, demonic intimidation, and the authority believers carry in Christ.

This episode will challenge you to:

-Discern the voice of the Holy Spirit

-Recognize spiritual warfare for what it is

-Build your own arsenal of Scripture

-Stand your ground and declare, “Not today, Satan.”

If you’ve ever felt attacked, overwhelmed, or uncertain how to fight back spiritually — this conversation will equip and embolden you.

Wise words worth echoing:

-“Scripture is like an arsenal for us, it is our weapon. And if we don't have it, how can the Holy Spirit bring it back to you when you need it?”

-“You need an arsenal. You don't just only need the armor, but you need to be able to wield that sword. That sword is that Word. And when you wield it, it sends the enemy to flee.”

-“If His foot is on the devil's neck, then why can't I put my foot on his neck too? Because guess what? He lives in me.”

-“Let the Lord direct our path because we get in His way. A lot of times we allow the flesh to get in the way, instead of saying ‘ daddy.’”

-“You have to think to yourself: where's this thought coming from? If it’s peace, it’s coming from God. If it's fear, it's coming from the enemy. If it’s sickness and disease, it’s coming from the enemy, but if it's healing, it's coming from God.”

-“Regardless to how we were raised, to what life circumstances may bring, we have a choice. The Bible says, life and death is in the power of the tongue; choose life. So as people walking with the Lord, we need to learn how to choose life.”
