Have you ever had to grieve someone while they were still breathing? Found yourself stuck in a waiting room while everyone else seemed to move forward? Sacrificed your peace because you thought being Christ-like meant being constantly available?
Dr. Jacqueline Cox (ListenLinda) takes us on a transformative journey through chapters 4-6 of her book "If I Were to Write a Book in the Bible," addressing the profound challenges many women face on their spiritual journeys. With raw honesty and prophetic insight, she creates a sacred space where healing doesn't require anyone's apology—just your permission.
In "Fine Like China, But Flawed, Like Me," Dr. Cox unveils the complicated grief of having a mother present in body but absent in nurturing. She speaks directly to daughters carrying the weight of honoring parents who also hurt them, offering the revolutionary truth that being both healing and holy is possible.
The discussion flows into "The Watch Tower of the Waiting Room," where Cox reframes seasons of delay not as punishment but as divine proving grounds. With poignant vulnerability, she shares her experience of watching others receive blessings she fasted for while trusting God's precise timing in her own life.
Perhaps most revolutionary is "Standing in My Peace at All Costs," where Cox dismantles the misconception that Christianity demands endless availability. "You are not their trash can; you are my temple," she declares, encouraging women to stop lying with their yeses and start honoring God with their nos.
The episode features a lightning round with Mama Myra, who recently authored "Finding Love at 70," where both women exchange profound insights about giving from guilt, grieving relationships, and guarding peace.
Whether you're navigating mother wounds, waiting seasons, or learning to protect your peace, this episode reminds you that you're not behind, forgotten, or disqualified—you're becoming. Join the conversation that's helping women reclaim their stories and stand firm in their God-given purpose.
