Have you ever said, “I just don’t hear God’s voice…” As adults, we often find ourselves over-complicating what it means to hear from the Father. We strain to listen, yet sometimes feel like we’re missing the frequency.

God’s Word tells us to come to Him like a child, and my guest today has captured that heartbeat perfectly. Silvia Ledon is an award-winning children's book author, and her latest work, The Voice of God, is a masterpiece that both children and adults can enjoy together.

In a recent visit home, I realized how apparent the scarcity v. abundance mindset was in a simple interaction with my mom one morning over coffee. Here’s the Truth-- scarcity and abundance aren't simply financial concepts. They're spiritual mindsets. And nowhere do we see this more clearly than in Matthew 14, the feeding of the five thousand. In today's episode, I share how Jesus and the disciples viewed their environments and resources through different lenses-One saw Kingdom abundance, while the others saw lack and limitations. In today's episode, I ask one key question: "What are you doing with what feels like "not enough" in your life?" Using the story of Jesus feeding 5000+ in Matt 14, I outline four simple tools to replace limiting beliefs with Truth, rewire your mind, and retrain your mouth with words that speak blessings! If you know there is more to life but you don’t know how to access it, I want to personally invite you to my five-week BREAKTHROUGH coaching experience. Together, we'll explore ✨ deeply rooted beliefs like Lack and scarcity and abundance and prosperity and how to replace them with God’s Word to partner with heaven for supernatural breakthrough and overflow just like Jesus did with the fish and loaves! If you're ready to trade scarcity for abundance and let miracles become your default operating system, click here and join our next BREAKTHROUGH session. We start this week and there is a seat waiting for you!

In Luke 10:19, Jesus reminds the disciples, "Listen! I have given power to you. You will even stand on dangerous snakes and insects and you will have authority over all the power of the Devil. Nothing will hurt you." We have the authority, yet how many of us are actually using it to bring our lives into alignment with the Kingdom?! In today's episode of the Shine with Frannie Show, I share a story about a humble missionary, Don Richardson, and how he wielded the power given to him by the authority of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. The same power lives in us! It's time to start using it! tune in and be inspired by Don's amazing testimony and then join the Miracle Mindset Masterclass where we will learn about your rights as a Kingdom citizen and give you the practical steps to activate them every single day.

Six years ago, Evan Pfeufer made a bold prediction in his high school yearbook. "Knicks in 6. 2026 NBA Finals." At the time, his beloved New York Knicks weren't exactly championship material.

In today's episode, I share the apostle Paul's encouragement to the Body of Christ to learn to activate this spiritual gift (and why and how to apply it) in three simple steps!

"Carrie, I never knew that affected you..." These were the words spoken to Carrie when she confronted her abuser years after the sexual abuse happened in her own home. In today's episode of the Shine with Frannie Show, I sit down with author, podcaster, and coach Carrie Watts to discuss healing, redemption, and the transformative power of sharing your story. In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Carrie opens up about her personal journey through trauma and sexual abuse--which happens to 1:4 women and 1:10 men--and the process of confronting painful wounds while learning to trust Jesus in deeper and more intimate ways. Her newest book, Crisis of Faith, takes the heart of her personal memoir and reimagines it through fiction for young girls ages 13–15, creating a message of hope, healing, courage, and identity for the next generation. At the center of Carrie’s mission is this truth: no matter what a girl faces, nothing is impossible with God on her side. Through faith, supportive community, and healing conversations, girls and women alike can rise above their pain and step into the purpose God has for their lives. In this episode, we discuss: The health benefits of journaling as powerful tools for healing, intimacy with God, and personal breakthrough How unresolved trauma and hidden wounds can create a “crisis of faith”—and what true healing actually looks like The deeper message behind Crisis of Faith and why Carrie believes this generation of girls desperately needs hope-filled stories rooted in biblical truth If you’ve ever wrestled with pain, questioned God in your suffering, or wondered if your story could ever be redeemed, this conversation will encourage you to keep healing, keep trusting, and keep moving forward in faith.

If Jesus said He we would do greater things than Him, why are we NOT seeing believers perform miracles? John 14:12 Real talk—today’s Christians are weak & clueless. Jesus literally told us that the keys to seeing the supernatural power of heaven manifest lie in seeking the Kingdom of God first. But here is the problem: most believers don’t actually have a full understanding of what the Kingdom of God really is. I mean, can you define it!??Think about it... if Jesus tells us we are supposed to seek it, but we don’t even know what we are looking for, how on earth will we ever find it?! Here is the shift you need to make: When you truly discover the Kingdom, you don’t just receive from it—you begin to operate in it. That is the exact moment when miracles stop being a rare, shocking event and finally become normal, and this is what today's episode is all about--experiencing miracles as a part of a your daily walk with God. If you want to experience miracles as a “normal” part of your everyday life as a follower of Jesus, I want to invite you to something special.

You’ve prayed.You’ve cried.You’ve hoped.You’ve wondered if God forgot about you. Today I want to encourage my fellow sister with an important message sent straight from heaven-- ✨ Your miracle is out for delivery. ✨ Let's get into the Bible--Daniel 10 states that when Daniel prayed, the miracle was set into motion, but the Prince of Persia came to attack! Have you ever felt that way? You pray then all hell breaks loose, then eventually you give up on your dream or let your desire go dormant!?! That's the enemy's plan. Sister, you have to let your dream DRIVE you--Dale Mast puts it like this, "Let your dreams carry you until you carry your dream!" Watch what happens when you begin showing up ready for the increase. I went through a season where I gave up--I had already moved onto:Hopeless Lane.Dream No More Drive.I Gave Up Court. And some of us stopped preparing for the miracle because disappointment convinced you it wasn’t coming. But what if heaven already released the answer?What if the miracle is still in motion?What if God is developing the CAPACITY within you to sustain what you’ve been praying for?Ask yourself, "If my miracle arrived tomorrow…"Would I be ready to receive it? Would I have the emotional capacity? I pray this message encourages you and shares practical tools to help you hold on to hope and don't give up before your dream arrives! Oh, and if you want to my new guide, Miracle Mindset, DM on Instagram and I will send a link to learn how to live and operate in the fullness of God's miracles every day of your life as you retrain your brain with God's Word and replace lies with Truth!

Mother's Day has not always been easy for me. I have grieved not being a mama. I envisioned National-Lampoons-Clark-Griswold-family-road-trips in a station wagon and Christmas morning in pajama--this was before matching pajamas was a thing... But through years of inner healing work and learning about God’s character and my identity, God has redeemed those visions in different ways. One season of healing in particular, the Lord led me to Genesis 3:20, "The man gave his wife the name 'Eve,' because she was the mother of all the living." Did you catch that? As soon as God gave Eve to Adam, He named her--there was no Cain or Abel…yet she was given the title of "mother". In today's show, I share examples of how God always declares your identity before He establishes it in you. I give examples from the Bible where we see this pattern and offer suggestions to help you discover your identity too. Jer 33:3 says, “Call to me and I’ll answer you, and will tell you about great and hidden things that you don’t know.’” God wants a relationship with you--one filled with discovery and little inside jokes and secrets! I also have a free guide: ⁠Unlocking Your Gifts, Glitter and Gold.⁠ It is a simple reflection guide that helps you discern what unique gifts and talents God has placed inside you that reveal your destiny. And if you’re sitting there like, “I've done the spiritual gift test and all the other assessments, but I still have no clue what God has spoken over me--" Girl, you might not be able to see the forest through the trees--that is what a coach does. I have a few spots for 1:1 clients this month. I'd love to sojourn with you and help you learn to hear God’s voice and to know why you're here and how to live it out. Send me a ⁠DM on Instagram ⁠with the word: COACHING and I will be in touch to see if we are a good fit for some 1:1 work. I pray this message blesses you--if so, it might bless a fellow sister. Please share with her by simply hitting the share button, and of course while you are there, reviews and rating help get the show served to more people! I would so appreciate you leaving both. Love you to life!

After raising $1000 in sponsorships to participate in a teen beauty pageant, I quit before I ever walked the stage. Yep, I quit. Sadly, I recognized this as a pattern in my life. Sports teams, hobbies, even boyfriends and jobs... And that "easy path" set me up for a lifetime of unfinished business. Fom a spiritual perspective, I learned that this is actually known as the abortion spirit. Now, Hold up--hear me out--n o…I have never been pregnant with a child, so please understand, I am not talking about that kind of abortion. I was aborting missions, duties, and assignments prematurely. I was cutting them off before they ever got to the "delivery" stage—before they could ever be fulfilled. I was terminating things before I could see God's plan completed in them. Once I realized this, once that lightbulb finally clicked on, I decided right then and there: NO MAS--  I was going to be a finisher! And I want you to be a finisher too! In today's show there is a 4- part acronym for anyone looking to achieve a goal, go after a dream and see a vision come to life. It's time to get things D.O.N.E. Tune in for a fun story of my ugly duckling era (and check my IG page for evidence of my pics from 1987!) and get some insights about the spiritual cause of quitting--and how to be a finisher!

"God is in control!" It sounds super spiritual and comforting doesn't it? But I need to get real with you for a moment, sister. It's just not true. In fact, it's one of the biggest lies Christians believe. In today's episode, I break down some hefty concepts and misconceptions about the Kingdom of God and the part we have to play in it. Sadly many Christians have adopted an ideology that God is actively controlling all things. They believe He is directly orchestrating every occurrence, every twist and turn, just to fit all of these pieces together in some celestial jigsaw puzzle. A few concepts I share: foundational scripture to unpack further for deeper understanding of the Kingdom of heaven. and your command to subdue it! the first commandments (not the ones Moses brought forth) and how we still have that charge todayGod's plan to activate miracles on earth is YOU (and the enemy's plan for destruction is also through you!)
