Have you ever found yourself in a place where you know God is good, but your heart is struggling to believe it?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Ivory shares what the Lord is teaching her in a season marked by physical weakness, spiritual wrestling, and the invitation to yield everything—her plans, her health, and even her ministry—back to Him.

From struggling to sing “The Goodness of God” at church to realizing that fear was still sitting on the throne of her life, Ivory opens up about how surrender, worship, and discernment are shaping her in the dark moments she's faced recently.

This is for you if your faith feels messy, your body is weary, or you’re walking through a hard season and need to be reminded: You don’t need perfect faith. You just need to cling to the One who is perfectly faithful.

1. Surrender is the way to peace. Partial surrender leads to anxiety. Full surrender invites God’s peace into every part of your life.
2. Wrestling doesn’t cancel your worship. Even in the dark, your faith has value. God honors your honesty and meets you there.
3. Discernment is your defense. The enemy often whispers lies that sound like your own thoughts—knowing God's voice is how you fight back.

If this episode spoke to you, Ivory would love to hear from you.

In this powerful 5-minute soul reset, Ivory takes us to Luke 8 and the story of Jairus—a father who dared to believe Jesus could save his dying daughter. But what happens when hope is met with heartbreak? When the miracle feels delayed… or denied?

This episode speaks to the heart that’s weary, the person who's moved in faith but now sits in the silence of a prayer that hasn't yet been answered. With gentle truth and bold encouragement, Ivory reminds us that with Jesus, dead doesn’t always mean done.

This episode is for you if:

• You’re walking through disappointment or waiting on a breakthrough
• You've felt mocked for still hoping in what God can do
• Something in your life feels lifeless—your peace, joy, purpose, or confidence
• You need to remember that God can still resurrect what looks dead

Soul Reset Takeaway:

"Don’t let the voice of disappointment be louder than the voice of Jesus. What seems dead might only be asleep—just believe."

Reflection Prompt:

What in your life have you declared dead that Jesus might be asking you to believe for again?

Scripture Highlight:

Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.” —Luke 8:50

Listen and be reminded:

God is still in the business of resurrection. He’s still calling things to life. And you, beloved, are seen, known, and loved right here.

What is a "Respite"?

A respite is a short period of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. And let’s be real—life can be a lot. There are days when your soul feels heavy, your mind is tired, and your heart is in desperate need of peace. That’s where these Soul Respites come in.

This is your sacred pause.

A gentle invitation to slow down.

A moment to breathe in God’s presence and exhale the weight of the world.

Whether you’re driving, drifting off to sleep, or simply craving a moment of stillness, let these monthly Soul Respites be your invitation into rest and renewal. God’s Word is alive, active, and deeply healing. When it is spoken over your weary soul, it has the power to restore what life has worn down.

Does your soul need rest?

Let these words wash over you. Let them be your safe place to recover, to be restored, and to be renewed.

Why Good Friday?

There is no better day to launch this on the podcast than Good Friday—a day we remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who laid down His life so that we could walk in freedom, wholeness, and eternal life.

He died so we could live—truly live. Rest for your soul is not just available... it was purchased by His love.

Want to Know Jesus for Yourself?

If something stirred in your spirit while listening and you want to know this peace personally, here’s how you can accept Jesus as your Savior:

1. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for your sins and rose again.
2. Confess your need for Him. Turn from all you've been hoping in outside of Jesus and put your complete faith in Him to save you and bring your soul to life. You don’t have to have it all together—He meets you exactly where you are.
3. Pray something simple like this:

Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God. I believe You died on the cross and rose again so I could be forgiven and have new life. I invite You into my heart today. Be my Savior, my Lord, and my peace. I give You my life and choose to follow You. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer—welcome to the family of God! I would love to celebrate with you and walk with you. Please send me an email me at ivory@radiate-lifecoaching.com so we can connect.

💛 I pray these Soul Respites bring peace, renewal, and restoration to your soul. You were never meant to carry it all, beloved one. Let this be your gentle reminder to come away and rest.

In this heart-stirring conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Ashley Hawk to explore the transformation that happens in the dark places of our lives. Ashley vulnerably shares about a season marked by overwhelm, spiritual depletion, and her fumbling around in the dark—and how it became the turning point that birthed a deeper faith, vision, and voice within her.

Have you ever felt overlooked? Like you’ve been faithful, holding onto God’s promises, but nothing seems to be shifting? In today’s episode, we dive into Genesis 41:9-14, where Joseph—once forgotten in prison—is suddenly remembered at the right time. His story reminds us that God is always working behind the scenes and that when He moves, things happen quickly.

If you’ve ever struggled with waiting, silence, or the feeling of being forgotten, this episode is for you.

• You feel overlooked and forgotten. If you’ve been waiting for a breakthrough, this episode will remind you that God’s delay is not His denial.
• You’re struggling with doubt in the waiting. When nothing seems to be moving, it’s easy to wonder if God has changed His mind—but He is always working behind the scenes.
• You need encouragement to keep going. The waiting season is not wasted. God is preparing you for what’s next, refining your heart, and setting things in motion.
• You’re ready to release the burden of trying to make things happen. Like Joseph, we must learn to shift from self-reliance to trust: "I can't… but God can. And because He can, I will."
• You want to walk in confidence, even when you don’t see progress. You don’t have to fight for recognition—when it’s time, God will open the doors quickly.

💡 Beloved one, you are not forgotten. You are being positioned. Keep walking.

Have you ever felt like everything depends on you? The pressure to succeed, prove yourself, and make things happen can be overwhelming. But what if you were never meant to carry that weight?

In this Soul Reset, we’re talking about the difference between ownership and stewardship—how shifting from striving to trusting sets us free from stress, overwhelm, and discouragement.

This is for you if...

• You’re feeling the weight of responsibility and pressure to make everything work. If you’ve ever thought, "It’s all on me," this episode will help you release that burden.
• You’re stuck in hustle mode and need a mindset shift. The world glorifies hustle, but God calls us to something better—stewardship.
• You want to move from stress to peace, from striving to trusting. Learn how letting go of ownership allows you to step into joy, hope, and expectancy.
• You need a reminder that success isn’t all on your shoulders. God is responsible for the results—you are just called to steward what He’s given you.
• You’re ready to step into purpose without overwhelm. This reset will realign your heart, refresh your spirit, and remind you that you were made to radiate His light—free, confident, and fully dependent on Him.

Beloved one, you don’t have to force results—God is responsible for them. Your role? Faithfulness. Trust. Obedience. His role? Provision. Direction. Fruitfulness.

🛑 Let go of the weight. Step into the grace of stewardship.
