About this listen

Welcome to The Holy Standard - the podcast for women who don’t just want to grow, they want to lead. Here, we build spiritual authority, internal systems and bold standards that make you unshakable. If you’re done with watered-down faith, fluffy self-help and surface-level success... you’re in the right room. Let’s raise the bar and our standards.

  • Unpacking the Orphan Spirit
    Nov 18 2025

    We tackle the orphan spirit, why high-achieving women often feel saved but not seated in the kingdom, and how to move from performance to belonging with Abba. We share scripture, prayer, and simple practices to break striving and receive love.

    • defining the orphan spirit and its roots in trauma and family of origin
    • high achievers, control, and the fear of surrender
    • culture’s “do it all alone” message and loss of community
    • authority versus fatherhood and intimacy with God
    • symptoms: striving, people-pleasing, hyper-independence, inability to rest
    • core scriptures that replace lies with truth
    • practical steps: renounce, replace, rewire with action
    • daily rhythms of worship, prayer, and receiving help
    • moving leadership from proving to inheritance

    Go into prayer now: tell Him everything that came up and let Abba meet you

    Thank you for listening and God Bless YOU!

  • Is Imposter Syndrome Biblical?
    Nov 4 2025

    We challenge the myth that credentials create calling and show how surrender, obedience, and service dismantle imposter syndrome. Scripture, story, and practical steps help re-root identity and authority in Christ so bold action becomes natural.

    • defining imposter syndrome as misplaced authority
    • qualifications versus God’s calling and commission
    • control, perfectionism, and the need to be seen
    • service over self using the burning house analogy
    • doing it messy while you learn and repent
    • Matthew 10:19–20 and speaking without fear
    • authority anchored in the cross, not metrics
    • chosen and appointed: intimacy fuels courage
    • weakness as capacity for grace and growth
    • stewardship of clients, culture, and legacy
    • two-part cure: surrender and service

    Thank you for listening and God Bless YOU!

  • Obedience Over Idols with Cali Arauz
    Oct 7 2025

    We share a raw story of obedience, idolatry, and identity—how a pro bodybuilder heard “You’re done,” laid down the sport she loved, and found deeper peace, new desires, and a re-ordered life with God on the throne. We also unpack money, business, and the quiet habits that tune your heart to God’s voice.

    • obedience as a daily practice over big moments
    • when a good thing becomes an idol
    • hearing God’s voice and acting fast
    • peace that follows surrender
    • preparing for motherhood and changing desires
    • guarding your heart and reordering loves
    • Bible study rhythms that build real hunger
    • money, revenue, and worth untangled
    • serving first and letting provision follow
    • testimony, community, and seeking depth
