DON’T COME DOWN! | Nehemiah: How to Keep Building When the Enemy Attacks

Heather Bulthuis — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

🔥 What do you do when you KNOW God has called you to something—but opposition keeps coming?

Nehemiah was given an assignment from God: rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

But the moment he began moving forward, opposition came.

Mockery.
Threats.
Fear.
Lies.
Intimidation.
Distraction.
Deception.

But Nehemiah refused to quit.

He PRAYED.
He sought GOD first.
He walked in OBEDIENCE.
He asked God for FAVOR.
He used WISDOM and DISCERNMENT.
And he KEPT BUILDING.

When his enemies tried repeatedly to lure him away from his assignment, Nehemiah answered:

📖 “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down.” — Nehemiah 6:3

What a message for us today!

DON’T COME DOWN FROM THE WALL.

Don't abandon what God has put in your heart because opposition showed up.

Don't let criticism stop you.

Don't let fear weaken your hands.

Don't let lies distract you.

Don't allow every invitation or opportunity to pull you away from your God-given assignment.

PRAY. PREPARE. OBEY. STAND. AND KEEP BUILDING.

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we walk through Nehemiah 1–7:3 and discover how Nehemiah continually relied upon God through every stage of his assignment.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:

• Seeking God BEFORE taking action
• Asking God for favor
• Recognizing God's direction
• Why favor doesn't mean you won't face opposition
• Praying AND using practical wisdom
• Standing against fear and intimidation
• Recognizing distractions and deception
• Asking God for wisdom and discernment
• Refusing to come down from your assignment
• Keeping the Sword of the Spirit—God's Word—close
• Walking in obedience and integrity
• Finishing what God called you to do

After all the opposition, the wall was completed in 52 days.

And Scripture tells us that even their enemies recognized that the work had been accomplished with the help of God.

Maybe you're building something right now.

A ministry.
A business.
A family.
A marriage.
A relationship with God.
Your health.
A dream or calling God has placed in your heart.

Whatever your “wall” is:

KEEP BUILDING.

🙏 Ask God for wisdom.
🙏 Ask Him for discernment.
🙏 Ask Him for favor.
🙏 Listen for His direction.
🙏 And be obedient when He tells you what to do.

“I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down.” — Nehemiah 6:3

God Does His BEST Work in the Dark 🌱 | You’re Not Buried—You’re Being Planted

Heather Bulthuis — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

What if the darkest season of your life isn’t the end of your story—but the place where God is preparing you for what comes NEXT? 🌱

Before a seed ever breaks through the soil, something incredible happens where nobody can see it.

**Roots begin to grow.**

And throughout the Bible, we see God working in people's lives during seasons that looked dark, delayed, difficult, and even impossible.

Moses had the wilderness before God used him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Joseph had the pit, slavery, and prison before God elevated him in Egypt and used him to help save people during the famine.

Jonah had the belly of the fish before going to Nineveh.

Daniel had the lions' den.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had the fiery furnace.

David had the wilderness and caves before the throne.

And Jesus had the cross and the tomb before the RESURRECTION.

There is a pattern:

**Darkness → Preparation → Breakthrough → Purpose**

Maybe you're walking through your own hidden season right now.

You’ve prayed.

You’ve believed.

You’ve tried to obey God.

But nothing seems to be changing.

**Don't assume that because you can't SEE God working, God isn't working.**

Maybe He's strengthening your faith.

Maybe He's developing your character.

Maybe He's teaching you patience and obedience.

Maybe He's redirecting you.

Maybe He's developing roots strong enough to carry the fruit you've been asking Him for.

📖 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we're looking at these incredible biblical stories and what they can teach us about trusting God during the seasons when we can't see what He's doing.

🌱 Don't give up because you haven't broken through the soil yet.

Stay in God's Word.
Stay in prayer.
Stay obedient.
Stay close to Jesus.
And trust God's timing.

**Your hidden season is not necessarily a wasted season.**

The Devil Hopes You NEVER Realize the Authority Jesus Gave You ⚔️

Heather Bulthuis — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Do you know the AUTHORITY Jesus Christ has given you?

Jesus said: “I have given you authority… to overcome all the power of the enemy.” — Luke 10:19

Yet many Christians don’t fully understand the authority they have IN CHRIST. The enemy wants you distracted, discouraged, afraid, and believing his lies. But Jesus showed us how to respond.

When Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, Jesus answered:

“IT IS WRITTEN.”

Jesus responded to deception with the WORD OF GOD.

And we can do the same.

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we’re talking about how to recognize the enemy’s schemes, put on the full Armor of God, use the Sword of the Spirit, resist the devil, and STAND firmly on God’s Word.

“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” — James 4:7

Our authority isn’t found in ourselves.

Our authority comes through JESUS CHRIST.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Recognizing the enemy’s lies
• The battlefield of the mind
• Putting on the Armor of God
• Using Scripture against deception
• Understanding Luke 10:19
• Replacing lies with God’s TRUTH
• Resisting the enemy
• Standing firm in faith
• Biblical declarations to speak over your life

When fear comes:

“God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV

When you feel defeated:

“We are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” — Romans 8:37

And never forget:

“The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” — 1 John 4:4

JESUS is our focus.

Satan is not equal to God. Jesus has already won the victory.

Colossians 2:15 tells us Christ disarmed the powers and authorities and triumphed over them through the cross.

When you recognize a lie of the enemy, remember:

RECOGNIZE. REJECT. REPLACE. RESIST.

“And after you have done everything, to stand.” — Ephesians 6:13

Submit to God.
Put on your armor.
Know your Bible.
Speak God’s truth.
Resist the enemy.
And STAND.

The enemy has schemes…

but JESUS has already WON.

Satan Is Real — But So Is Your Authority in Christ

Heather Bulthuis — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 16:00:00 GMT

# Satan Is Real — But So Is Your Authority in Christ

**Satan is real. Demons are real. Spiritual warfare is real. But Jesus Christ has already won the victory.**

One of Satan’s greatest schemes is deception. If he can convince you that he doesn’t exist, why would you guard yourself against his lies? Why would you put on the Armor of God? Why would you resist him?

The Bible tells us:

**“In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.” — 2 Corinthians 2:11**

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we expose some of the enemy’s schemes—not to glorify Satan or create fear, but so that we can recognize deception and stand firmly in the truth of God’s Word.

We’ll talk about:

⚔️ Why Satan and spiritual warfare are real
⚔️ How Satan can masquerade as an angel of light
⚔️ Why Satan is called the “god of this age”
⚔️ The battlefield of the mind
⚔️ Nine schemes Satan uses, including deception, distraction, temptation, accusation, fear, division, twisting Scripture, doubting God’s character, and isolation
⚔️ How to recognize, reject, and replace the enemy’s lies
⚔️ How to put on the full Armor of God
⚔️ The authority believers have through Jesus Christ
⚔️ Why you do NOT need to live afraid of the enemy

**“The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” — 1 John 4:4**

Satan is not God’s equal.

Jesus Christ has already defeated the powers of darkness.

So don’t live afraid.

**Wake up. Know God’s Word. Know the enemy’s schemes. Guard your mind. Put on your armor. Stay close to Jesus. And STAND FIRM.**

How Jesus Defeated Satan: "It Is Written" | Spiritual Warfare & Using God's Word

Heather Bulthuis — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

How did Jesus defeat Satan's attacks?

He didn't argue.

He didn't panic.

He didn't fight with His emotions.

He answered with three powerful words:

**"It is written."**

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we dive into Matthew 4 and discover how Jesus defeated every temptation in the wilderness by standing on the truth of God's Word.

You'll learn:

⚔️ Why Satan attacks our thoughts first

⚔️ The three temptations Jesus faced—and how He responded

⚔️ Why the Word of God is called the Sword of the Spirit

⚔️ The importance of hiding Scripture in your heart before the battle begins

⚔️ Seven of Satan's favorite lies—and the Bible verses that defeat them

⚔️ A practical "Scripture Tool Belt" filled with verses for fear, anxiety, temptation, condemnation, protection, peace, wisdom, and spiritual warfare

If you've ever struggled with fear, discouragement, anxiety, temptation, or feeling spiritually attacked, this episode will equip you with biblical truth so you can confidently respond just as Jesus did:

**"It is written."**

**Scriptures Covered:**

• Matthew 4:1–11

• Deuteronomy 6 & 8

• James 4:7

• Ephesians 6:10–18

• Hebrews 4:12

The Book of Jonah Explained | More Than Jonah and the Whale: God's Mercy, Obedience & Repentance

Heather Bulthuis — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Why did Jonah run from God? Was the story really about a big fish—or is there a much deeper message?

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we walk verse by verse through the entire Book of Jonah and uncover the powerful lessons that many people miss.

Jonah isn't just the story of a prophet swallowed by a great fish. It's a story about God's incredible mercy, His patience, His desire for people to repent, and His love for every nation. It also challenges us to examine our own hearts:

• Are we obeying God when He calls us?
• Do we celebrate when God shows mercy to others?
• Are we more concerned with our own comfort than with people's eternity?
• Can God use difficult circumstances to redirect our lives?

In this Bible study you'll learn:

✔ Why Jonah fled from God's calling
✔ The historical background of Nineveh and the Assyrians
✔ What the great fish really represents
✔ God's heart for repentance before judgment
✔ Why Jonah became angry when Nineveh repented
✔ The lesson of the vine and what it teaches about gratitude
✔ How the Book of Jonah applies to Christians today

Whether you've read Jonah many times or this is your first time studying it, I pray this teaching encourages you to trust God's plan, extend His mercy to others, and walk in obedience to His calling.

Was Acts 2 the first time the Holy Spirit appeared? Did Pentecost happen in the Upper Room—or somewhere in the Temple? Why were people speaking in different languages? And what does all of this mean for believers today?

The Life of Samson | Judges 13–16 Bible Study | Your Mistakes Are Not the End

Heather Bulthuis — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Samson was chosen by God before he was even born. He was called, set apart, and given supernatural strength to begin delivering Israel from the Philistines.

But Samson also made mistakes.

He compromised. He followed his desires. He allowed anger to influence his choices. He ignored warning signs and continued putting himself in places of temptation.

And eventually, there were consequences.

In this Bible study, we are walking through Judges 13–16 and looking at the life of Samson—from his miraculous birth and calling, to Delilah and the loss of his strength, to his final prayer when he called out to God one more time.

Samson's story is about calling, choices, compromise, consequences, God's mercy, and redemption.

One of my favorite moments in Samson's story is found in Judges 16:22:

“But the hair on his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.”

His story wasn't over.

And maybe you need to hear this today:

YOUR MISTAKES DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE FINAL CHAPTER OF YOUR STORY.

Maybe you've made mistakes.

Maybe you've compromised.

Maybe you've ignored God's warnings.

Maybe you feel like you've wasted years of your life or gone in a direction God never intended for you to go.

Samson's life reminds us that God can still work through imperfect people.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Samson's calling before he was born
• The Nazirite vow
• Samson's supernatural strength
• How small compromises can become strongholds
• Samson's anger and desire for revenge
• Why we shouldn't keep returning to places of temptation
• Samson and Delilah
• The true source of Samson's strength
• The consequences of Samson's choices
• Samson's final prayer to God
• God's mercy and redemption
• Why your mistakes don't have to define the rest of your life

The Power of Praise & the Names of God | Speak to Your Mountain with Authority

Heather Bulthuis — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

What if praise is more than worship—what if it is also a powerful spiritual weapon?

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we explore the power and importance of praising God, the biblical names of God, the authority Jesus has given believers, and how to prepare ourselves as the Bride of Christ.

When we praise God in the middle of our circumstances, we stop magnifying the mountain and begin magnifying the One who is greater than every mountain.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✨ Why praise is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare
✨ How Paul and Silas praised God before their chains fell off
✨ Why Jehoshaphat sent worshipers ahead of the army
✨ More than 30 biblical names of God and what they reveal about His character
✨ How to speak God’s Word over fear, sickness, lack, worry, and opposition
✨ What it means to use your authority through Jesus Christ
✨ How to prepare your heart as the Bride of Christ
✨ Powerful declarations you can speak over your life

Some of the names of God discussed include:

• Abba—our loving Father
• Elohim—our Creator
• El Shaddai—God Almighty
• El Roi—the God who sees us
• Jehovah Jireh—the Lord our Provider
• Jehovah Rapha—the Lord our Healer
• Jehovah Shalom—the Lord our Peace
• Jehovah Nissi—the Lord our Banner
• Jehovah Rohi—the Lord our Shepherd
• Jehovah Tsidkenu—the Lord our Righteousness
• Jesus, Yeshua—the Lord who saves
• Emmanuel—God with us
• Logos—the living Word of God

Jesus tells us in Mark 11:22–23 to speak to the mountain. We do not have to spend all of our time talking about the problem. We can stand on God’s Word, praise Him for who He is, and speak His truth over our circumstances with the authority Jesus has given us.

Remember: Your circumstances do not change who God is.

Have you ever wondered where God is when life doesn't go the way you planned?

In this episode, we walk verse by verse through the Book of Ruth and discover how God was working behind the scenes during seasons of grief, loss, uncertainty, and waiting.

What Ruth's faithfulness teaches us about obedience
Why Boaz is a beautiful picture of Jesus, our Kinsman Redeemer
How God directs our steps even when we only see the next one
Why your obedience today may be part of a much bigger plan than you can imagine
Encouragement for seasons of waiting, loss, grief, and uncertainty
Scripture-based declarations to strengthen your faith

We also explore:
📖 Ruth and Naomi's relationship
📖 Boaz and Ruth's love story
📖 The meaning of the Kinsman Redeemer
📖 Ruth's place in the genealogy of King David and Jesus Christ
📖 Biblical lessons on faith, trust, and God's provision

Remember: God is still writing your story. Keep trusting Him, keep obeying Him, and keep taking the next faithful step.

Does God Want You to Prosper? | The Blessings of Deuteronomy 28

Heather Bulthuis — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis!

In this episode, we're diving into one of the most powerful chapters in Scripture regarding God's blessings for His people: Deuteronomy 28. Together we'll explore God's heart toward His children, why He gives us instructions to follow, what biblical prosperity really means, and how these promises apply to believers today.

We'll discuss:

✅ The historical context of Deuteronomy and Moses' final message to Israel
✅ The blessings found in Deuteronomy 28
✅ Why God's commands are acts of love, not religious burdens
✅ What biblical prosperity really means
✅ Examples of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, and Solomon
✅ The principle of sowing and reaping
✅ God's desire for His children to walk in peace, provision, wisdom, and purpose
✅ How to renew your mind and align your life with God's promises

One of the key truths from this episode is that God's instructions are not meant to restrict us—they are meant to guide us into the abundant life He desires for us. As Jesus said:

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10)

Jesus Showed Up When Sally Was at Death’s Door | Healing, Authority & the Power of Jesus

Heather Bulthuis — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

In this powerful episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, my guest Sally shares her incredible testimony of walking through a life-threatening battle with COVID pneumonia — and how Jesus showed up when she was at death’s door.

Sally shares how she was alone in the hospital, fighting for her life, listening to worship music, praying, and trusting God when everything looked impossible. In the middle of that battle, she had a powerful encounter with Jesus that changed her life forever.

This conversation is a reminder that Jesus is near in the darkest valleys, that worship is powerful, and that as believers, we have been given authority in the name of Jesus.

We talk about:

• Sally’s testimony of being born with a cleft lip and palate
• Walking through rejection, insecurity, and many surgeries
• Her battle with COVID pneumonia
• The moment Jesus showed up in her hospital room
• Taking authority over the enemy in Jesus’ name
• The power of worship during spiritual battles
• Why believers need to know the Word of God
• How God uses our hardest seasons to minister to others

Jesus said in Luke 10:19:
“I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

If you are walking through fear, sickness, grief, or a battle that feels impossible, I pray this episode reminds you that God is with you, Jesus still heals, and the enemy does not get the final word.

God Redeems Your Mistakes: Lessons from King David + The Armor of God

Heather Bulthuis — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis. ❤️
Today we start by putting on the Full Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–20) and then we walk through the powerful life of King David—from overlooked shepherd boy to anointed king.

David’s story shows us that:
✅ God has a plan for your life before you were even born
✅ Spiritual warfare is real—this isn’t a battle against people
✅ Even when we make mistakes, God can redeem, restore, and still use us

We’ll talk about David’s calling, his victories, the consequences of poor choices, and the hope of repentance and redemption—because God doesn’t define you by your worst moment. He calls you forward.

📖 Scriptures mentioned:
Ephesians 6:10–20 • Romans 8:28 • (David’s story in 1 & 2 Samuel)

Exodus Explained (NIV): Moses, the 10 Plagues, Passover, Red Sea Miracle + Ten Commandments

Heather Bulthuis — Sun, 16 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

In today’s episode of Take Back Your Authority, we’re walking through Exodus and the powerful story of Moses leading Israel out of Egypt—including the 10 plagues, the meaning of Passover, and the miracle of the Red Sea crossing. We also finish with a simple, practical reminder: God gave us the Ten Commandments to keep life clear, grounded, and aligned with Him.

We also talk about how God often leads us step-by-step (Psalm 119:105), why things can get harder before they get better, and how to respond to fear with faith—because the Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still (Exodus 14:14).

🙏 In this episode:

Moses’ calling and God’s “step-by-step” guidance

Pharaoh’s hardened heart and the 10 plagues

Passover and the power of the blood (a foreshadowing of Jesus)

The Red Sea miracle and what it teaches us about fear vs. faith

The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) and keeping life simple

Daily spiritual strength: Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–17)

Take Back Your Authority Like Daniel | Stand Firm, Hear God, Stay Faithful

Heather Bulthuis — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Daniel’s story is not just about lions… it’s about identity, obedience, and unwavering faith in a world that tries to change who you are.

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority, we walk through Daniel chapters 1, 2, and 6 and uncover the powerful pattern behind Daniel’s life:

✔ Chapter 1 – Resolve your identity
✔ Chapter 2 – Hear from God clearly
✔ Chapter 6 – Stay faithful under pressure

Daniel was taken from his home, placed in a foreign culture, and pressured to conform—but he never lost who he was in God. Because of that, he walked in authority, wisdom, and favor everywhere he went.

This message will help you:
✨ Stand firm when culture pressures you
✨ Hear God’s voice with clarity
✨ Stay faithful—even when it’s hard
✨ Take back your God-given authority

Key takeaway:
👉 Authority is not given by the world—it’s revealed through your identity, your choices, and your relationship with God.

If you’ve ever felt like life has tried to rename you, this message is for you.

📖 Scriptures: Daniel 1, 2, 6 | Ephesians 6:10–18

🙏 If you gave your life to Jesus today, I would love to hear from you—leave a comment or message me.

Heather Bulthuis — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Do you know you were made for more… but fear keeps you playing small?

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority, Heather Bulthuis sits down with Katherine Norland (actress + faith-based coach) to talk about worth, identity in Christ, and the “God-fidence” you need to stop sabotaging your calling and finally live your purpose.

In this conversation, we cover:
• The difference between confidence, competence, and “God-fidence”
• Why people sabotage their dreams (and how the enemy keeps you stuck)
• The truth about worth vs. “deserving” (and why worth isn’t performance-based)
• A powerful story about asking for what you’re worth (and what happened next)
• Encouragement for hard seasons—including a NICU journey—and how to “spiral up,” not down
• One daily habit to build confidence over time: saying yes to yourself (and your God-given gifts)

Heather Bulthuis — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we’re talking about JOY—not the “everything is perfect” kind of joy, but the deep, lasting joy that comes from God and stays steady even when life is hard.

We’ll break down:

What joy really is (and how it’s different from happiness)

Why joy is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22)

How joy becomes your strength (Nehemiah 8:10)

How to shift your attitude and focus when you feel heavy

Why intimacy with God grows joy (Isaiah 55:11)

Why Jesus connects asking with full joy (John 16:23–24)

How praise and declarations help you stay positioned in faith

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, drained, or stuck in negative thoughts, this episode will help you realign, refocus, and step back into joy—God’s way.

✨ Question for you: What’s one thing you’re choosing joy over this week?

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, I sit down with my friend Terri Gilbert — author, speaker, entrepreneur, Bible teacher, and the author of God Wants to Prosper You.

Terri shares her powerful story of growing up knowing about Jesus, but eventually realizing she needed to truly know Him and make Him Lord of her life.

Terri also shares about her new book, Think-Speak-Live the Word: Living Successfully in God’s Kingdom, coming out June 1, 2026 on Amazon.

In this conversation, we discuss:

✨ Knowing Jesus personally, not just knowing about Him
✨ What God teaches us in wilderness seasons
✨ Walking in your Kingdom inheritance
✨ The difference between salvation and sanctification
✨ Renewing your mind with God’s Word
✨ The power of what you think and speak
✨ Biblical prosperity and stewardship
✨ Taking authority over what the enemy is trying to steal
✨ Living the life God created you to live

Terri reminds us that God has more for us, and He wants us to grow, mature, and walk in the fullness of what Jesus has already made available.

Your Words Are Powerful: How to Pray Scripture and See Results

Heather Bulthuis — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Welcome back to Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis! In today’s episode, we’re talking about prayer + faith—and why the words you speak matter more than you think.

We start by putting on the full Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10–17) and then unpack how to pray in a way that’s aligned with Scripture—so you’re not speaking fear, but speaking faith.

In this message, you’ll learn:

Why faith-filled words shift your life (and why fear-filled words keep you stuck)

How to grow your faith: “faith comes from hearing the Word…” (Romans 10:17)

Why “long prayers” aren’t the goal—speaking God’s Word in faith is.

How to start declaring what you desire instead of repeating the problem

Persevering Prayer: How to Trust God When the Answer Is Delayed

Heather Bulthuis — Sat, 08 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Have you been praying, waiting, and wondering where God is?

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we talk about persevering prayer, being steadfast in faith, and refusing to give up when you have not yet seen the answer. Just because the answer feels delayed does not mean God is not moving.

Heather shares powerful encouragement from:

Ephesians 6:10–18 on putting on the full armor of God
Luke 18 and the persistent widow
Daniel 10:12–13 showing that Daniel’s prayer was heard from day one
Abraham and Sarah as a reminder that God fulfills His promises in His perfect timing
Romans 12:12, Colossians 4:2, Galatians 6:9, and Hebrews 10:23

This episode will encourage you to:

stay devoted in prayer
trust God in the waiting
stand on His Word
refuse discouragement, fear, and delay
take back your authority by persevering in faith

If you are in a waiting season, this message is for you.

How to Take Back Your Authority by Surrendering to Jesus | Christian Podcast

Heather Bulthuis — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis, we talk about why surrendering your life to Jesus is not weakness—it is the doorway to true spiritual authority.

So many people think surrender means losing your voice, your strength, or your purpose. But Jesus teaches the opposite. When you fully surrender your life to Him, you come under the authority of the One who has all authority in heaven and on earth. And when you come under His authority, He empowers you to walk in the authority He has given you.

In this episode, we cover:

Why the world says “take control,” but Jesus says “surrender”
Why surrender is not passive—it is alignment with God
How Jesus gives believers authority
Why a surrendered life is a guided life
How to surrender every area of your life to God
Why a fully surrendered life is the most powerful life

Key Scriptures:
Matthew 28:18
Luke 10:19
James 4:7
Proverbs 3:5–6
Luke 9:23
Romans 12:1–2
Galatians 2:20

Healing After Chaos: Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunction with Tammy Vincent

Heather Bulthuis — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:00:00 GMT

If you grew up in chaos, around addiction, or in a home where you were always walking on eggshells, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority, I sit down with Tammy Vincent—international inspirational speaker, trauma-informed ACOA empowerment coach, best-selling author, podcaster, and NLP practitioner.

Tammy shares her powerful story of growing up with two alcoholic parents and a narcissistic, abusive mother. She explains how childhood chaos shaped her into a people-pleaser with poor boundaries, led her to numb with alcohol, and left her believing she wasn't worthy of love—until one unexpected moment became the catalyst for healing.

Today, Tammy helps adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families heal, set healthy boundaries, and reclaim their self-worth.

In this episode you'll learn:

• How growing up in dysfunction affects your relationships and self-worth.
• Why people-pleasing, perfectionism, and fear of being seen often begin in childhood.
• The difference between temporary happiness and lasting joy.
• Why addiction is often a numbing strategy—and why healing starts after sobriety.
• How inner child work helps replace shame with compassion.
• Practical healing tools including journaling, gratitude, nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and surrendering to God.

We also discuss generational trauma, forgiving yourself for what you didn't know, and how healing doesn't create a new you—it uncovers the person God designed you to be.

Take Back Your Authority - Esther Part 1

Heather Bulthuis — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 16:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Take Back Your Authority, Heather dives into one of her favorite books in the Bible: Esther. This is Part One of a two-part series where we walk through the story, see God’s invisible hand at work, and discover what it means to be positioned “for such a time as this.”

Heather begins by praying the full armor of God from Ephesians 6:10–18, then walks you through the opening chapters of Esther—King Xerxes, Queen Vashti’s brave refusal, Esther’s surprising rise from orphan to queen, Mordecai’s loyalty, and Haman’s evil plot to destroy the Jews. Along the way, she explains historical context, spiritual symbolism, and how God uses “the least likely” (including women!) to accomplish His purposes.

You’ll be encouraged to trust God’s timing, listen when He calls you to do hard things, and remember that your position, your personality, and your story are not accidents. You really are here for such a time as this.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

Why the armor of God is essential in “the days of evil”

The background of Esther’s world: Persia, Purim, and the long conflict with the Amalekites

How Queen Vashti’s “no” sets the stage for Esther’s “yes”

Esther’s journey from hidden Jewish girl to favored queen of Persia

Mordecai’s hidden faithfulness and how God records what others forget

Haman’s prideful plan to wipe out God’s people—and why it ultimately cannot succeed

Esther’s courage, fasting, and the powerful phrase “If I perish, I perish”

Heather closes with an invitation to surrender your life to Jesus, to be available for God to use you, and to connect with her on Instagram if you’ve decided to follow Christ or want encouragement as you “take back your authority.”

The Believer’s Authority: Stop Letting Satan Win & Start Using Your Power in Christ.

Heather Bulthuis — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:26:10 GMT

Welcome back to Take Back Your Authority with Heather Bulthuis. In today’s episode, we’re talking about something every believer needs to understand: your authority in Christ—and how to use it.

Jesus defeated sin and death, and He didn’t leave you powerless. He gave believers authority over the enemy—so the real question is: will you act on what God already gave you? In this episode, I walk through Scripture, the Armor of God, what it means to resist the devil, how faith grows through the Word, and how to start praying with boldness and biblical authority.

You’ll also hear real-life examples of how the enemy tries to distract and delay—and how to stand firm, speak God’s Word, and keep your faith when answers don’t look “instant.”

🙏 If this blesses you, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE with someone who needs to be reminded of who they are in Christ.

📌 In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why Satan fights so hard to keep believers unaware of their authority
How to stop focusing on your past and live from your righteousness in Christ
Why knowing the Word matters (and how faith grows through hearing it)
What it means to resist the devil—and what happens when you do
How to pray Scripture over yourself and your family
Why your words matter more than you think (and how to speak life)
