Kelly Griffin: From Control & Brokenness to Freedom, Intimacy, and Surrender

In this final episode of the Arise & Shine Podcast Series, Jackie sits down with Kelly Griffin for a deeply honest conversation about healing from childhood abuse, breaking dysfunctional relational patterns, stewarding freedom, and learning what it means to become a powerful woman submitted to the Holy Spirit.

Kelly vulnerably shares how unresolved wounds and trauma opened the door to dysfunction in her relationships, areas of sexual brokenness, and unhealthy control dynamics in her marriage. Through inner healing, repentance, deliverance, and surrender to God, she began experiencing freedom from unhealthy patterns and what she describes as a Jezebel spirit operating in her life and marriage.

She shares how the Lord restored intimacy, friendship, trust, and spiritual order in her marriage as she learned to let go of striving and control and instead walk in humility, softness, obedience, and dependence on God.

This episode is about redeemed strength — bringing our gifts, influence, discernment, and power under the authority and leadership of the Holy Spirit so our lives glorify Jesus.

Kelly also speaks directly to women who know they still need healing but feel stuck, overwhelmed, ashamed, isolated, or afraid to move forward.

Her encouragement:
Don’t stay trapped in your head.
Talk to someone.
Bring things into the light.
Let God heal the places you’ve hidden.

“Let us go to His feet because that is the love you will need to go forward. Psalm 103- it's part of His benefits package. There is nothing He won't do for you. He is so faithful. He will take what you are willing to give Him, and He will multiply it."-Shona

In this episode of the Arise & Shine: Radiant Remnant series, Jackie is joined by Shona Krieg for a conversation that is equal parts heart-healing and high-authority warfare. If you have been wrestling with the "invisible blocks" of fear, unworthiness, or a persistent need to control your environment, this episode is your invitation to lay those burdens at the feet of Jesus.

Shona shares her powerful perspective on why deliverance is "the children’s bread"—a fundamental benefit of our inheritance in Christ. Together, Jackie and Shona explore the beauty of Psalm 103 and the "benefits package" available to every believer who is willing to give God their "small yes" and watch Him multiply it into a life of freedom.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The "Fire Starter" Community: Why you need a tribe of women who say, "Not in my house, not in my bloodline!"

• Psalm 103 & Your Benefits Package: Reclaiming the truth that there is nothing God won't do for His faithful daughters.

• Breaking the Muzzle of Fear: Jackie takes authority over the spirits of fear and unworthiness, teaching you how to pray for a sound mind and a restored vision.

• Restoring the Lioness: Canceling every assignment against your identity and calling, and deflecting the darts of division in marriages.

A Moment of Prayer: Stay tuned until the end as Shona prays for the "Radiant Remnant" to find their freedom community and as Jackie leads a powerful activation to put on the full Armor of God and get freedom from the spirit of fear.

The Word of the Day:

"Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases." — Psalm 103:2-3

“There is nothing wrong with you. You are not beyond help. He is just looking for the smallest 'yes' ”.

Have you ever felt like you were trying to fit into a mold of "the perfect Christian woman" that just didn't fit and left you feeling disillusioned and frustrated? In this episode of the Arise & Shine: Radiant Remnant series, Jackie and Katie Ricken discuss the exhausting cycle of trying to be someone you aren't called to be.

Katie opens up about her journey of letting go of religious expectations and discovering that God wasn't looking for a polished performance—He was looking for her true heart. By honoring her unique calling toward quiet intercession and worship, Katie found a depth of trust and love that legalism could never provide. If you’ve ever felt like your "quiet" strength wasn't enough, or if you feel like you’ve struggled to find peace in walking who God has called you to be in your unique identity, this episode is a soothing balm for your soul.

In this episode, we explore:

• "You Are Not Beyond Help": Breaking the lie that your heart is too messy or your "invisible blocks" are too big for God to handle.

• The Gift of an Open Mind: Learning to let go of how we think God should show up and simply inviting Him to move.

• From Performance to Intercession: How Katie traded the loud expectations of others for the powerful, quiet roar of intercession and worship.

• The Smallest Willingness: Why God doesn't need a massive leap of faith—He just needs a tiny bit of curiosity and a willingness to explore with Him.

It’s Time to Take Your Stand: Your story doesn't end in the ashes. It's time to rise up and become the bride you were created to be.

The enemy works in the dark, but we have the privilege to ask God's light to dispel the darkness in our own lives.

Do you ever feel like you’re doing all the 'right' things—praying, reading, serving—but you’re still hitting an invisible wall? Like there is a shadow from your past or a heaviness in your spirit that you just can’t shake?

In this episode of the Arise & Shine Series, Jackie sits down with Jessica Scarson to discuss the reality of invisible blocks. These are the heart wounds and spiritual strongholds that act like anchors, keeping us tethered to the "ashes" of old identities. Jessica’s testimony is a powerful witness to what happens when we stop trying to "try harder" and start allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us into deep-level heart healing and deliverance.

In this episode, we explore:

• Identifying the Unseen: How to discern when a "block" is a spiritual stronghold or a lingering heart wound requiring deep-level healing.

• The Ash-to-Beauty Exchange: The practical (and often messy) process of handing God our despair in exchange for His garment of praise.

• Rising Out of the Rubble: How Jessica transitioned from a place of "just surviving" to walking as a powerful leader and an Oak of Righteousness.

• The Triumphal Procession: Learning to carry the "aroma of Christ" even when you’re still in the process of being made whole.

The Word of the Day:

"To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." — Isaiah 61:3

It’s Time to Take Your Stand: Your story doesn't end in the ashes. It's time to rise up and become the bride you were created to be.

Can I really be free?

When the "scorched places" of life feel too vast to ever become a garden again, God shows us He is a specialist in the impossible.

As we prepare for our Arise and Shine event on May 18th-21st, I’m bringing you behind the scenes with five women who have traded their spirit of heaviness for a garment of praise.

Our first guest, Rebecca Scheler's story is one of profound resilience and redemption. As a survivor of CPTSD, she shares how God met her in the midst of brokenness and began restoring beauty in places that once held pain. She is a wife, a bonus mom of two, and an artist at heart—using painting and writing as sacred spaces where healing and creativity meet. Her life is a living testimony that no place is too far gone for God to redeem.

This episode is honest, tender, and full of hope. If you’re carrying a mustard seed of hope today, this episode is for you. It’s time to shake the ashes from your mane, daughter. The glory of the Lord is rising upon you.

Respond to the invitation:

• An invitation to expect a shift, even if you’ve been wandering in the desert of hope deferred.

• An invitation to take one more step toward your own healing and your true roar.

Let these testimonies ignite faith in your places of longing. Let them prepare your heart for what is coming this May—a space being cultivated for you to encounter the Lord, receive healing, and be restored for your call as the Radiant Remnant Bride.

Description:
As parents, we are called to stand in the gap for our children, covering them in prayer and leading them into the freedom that Christ has for them. In this episode, we dive into practical ways to pray deliverance over our children, from recognizing areas of spiritual captivity to ministering with wisdom and discernment.

We’ll discuss:

• The power of praying deliverance over our children while they sleep.
• The common strongholds we may see in young children like fear, rejection, and anger.
• Why deliverance should be gentle and conversational, not forceful.
• Ministering to teens and leading them into personal ownership of their freedom.
• How to help our children stay free after deliverance.

I’ll also share wisdom from Rebecca Greenwood’s book, Let Our Children Go, including a simple and effective approach to deliverance for kids.

Topic: The Issue of Abuse, Prevention & Healing

Welcome, Beloved! This week, we are diving into Week 3 of our Let Our Children Go series by Rebecca Greenwood. Today’s episode focuses on Chapter 6, The Tragedy of Abuse. This is a heavy but critical conversation that we, as believers, must engage in.

I’ll be covering:
✅ Why this conversation is important, especially for believers and the church
✅ God’s heart for children and His call to protect the vulnerable
✅ What we can do to prevent abuse and equip our children with the tools they need

I have worked with countless women in inner healing and deliverance sessions who have experienced childhood abuse, and I’ve seen firsthand the pain and strongholds that stem from it. But I’ve also witnessed God’s miraculous healing and restoration!

Let’s dive in and stand for the protection and healing of God’s children.

📖 Matthew 18:1-6 – Jesus’ heart for children and the severity of harming them
📖 Proverbs 31:8-9 – Speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves
📖 Isaiah 1:17 – Seeking justice, defending the oppressed

🔹 Abuse is more common than we realize. The book shares staggering statistics on pages 82-84 of "Let our Children Go", emphasizing the prevalence of child abuse.
🔹 God calls us to protect children. Children are precious in His sight, and there are serious consequences for those who harm them.
🔹 Abuse has lasting effects. Trauma impacts not just emotions but physical health, spiritual identity, and future relationships.
🔹 Prevention is key. Conversations about safe and unsafe touch should start early.
🔹 Grooming happens in trusted environments. Awareness and education are essential in homes, churches, and schools.

📖 God Made All of Me – A fantastic tool for teaching kids about safe and unsafe touch in an age-appropriate way.
📝 Keep Our Bodies Safe Lesson & Parent Guide – A guided resource for parents to have intentional conversations with children ages 2-10.
✨ Affirmation Cards – Speak words of identity and truth over your children!
