Advertise on podcast: Glisten With Charla Turner

In this episode, Pastor Charla talks with legendary speaker and author Maria Durso regarding prayer. Maria has seen first-hand the effect prayer has over her church, her family, and her own life. Her testimony and insight is sure to build your faith and encourage you in your own prayer life. As Maria tells us, we have an all-access pass to our Heavenly Father through prayer. Let us not miss the opportunity to meet with Him daily.

Pastor Charla sits down with Vicki Kritko, founder of Heaven's Heart Ministries, to discuss forgiveness, deliverance, and inner healing. Her work and Day of Freedom events aim to help people reconnect and hear the voice of the Lord. Vicki wants to help people unravel the lies about how we see God and how we see ourselves in order to step into the deliverance Jesus has already given us. As Vicki beautifully put it, "Vengeance is not ours. Forgiveness is a gift to ourselves."

In this episode, Jillian shares how leaning into God and His promises has been crucial to her journey of healing. During this season with so many unknowns, Jillian clings to the truths that God is still good and God is still faithful. She also discusses her upcoming book, Wired, which builds on the DISC system and years of experience and research to help people find and function in their purpose.

"Sometimes life smacks us upside the head while we are looking the other way. We get knocked down and struggle to get back up. But your past struggles do not determine your future." Nicole Crank joins us in this episode of the Glisten podcast that all about getting back up and THRIVING, not just surviving.

I can't wait for you to meet my friends Laura Goodwin and Heather Gray! They are Boss Babes and new business owners who are bringing health and wellness opportunities to South Atlanta. They both grew up in families where their parents were business owners. They gleaned some wisdom from that experience, but they have learned some pretty great things on their own journey as well. In this episode, we talk about how they manage family, faith, fitness, and business so well. We talk about how they met and started a Spin Club. (hint: They jumped in pretty fast after they took their FIRST spin class ever!) If you have thought about starting your own business, beginning your own health journey, switching up your current routine, or even wondered how to order your priorities then you will love this episode. In this episode, we will take a peek inside The Spin Club and watch me do two of their wellness treatments (a foot detox treatment and an infrared sauna treatment). Keep watching to find out who may or may not have a hairless cat and learn of the girls' most embarrassing moments at The Spin Club.
