Not every sermon needs a stage. Some of the most powerful messages people will ever encounter are the ones you preach without saying a word.
In this episode of Monday Meditations, we explore what it means to live a life that reflects Christ, not just in belief, but in action — not just in what we say, but in how we respond, serve, forgive, and love. This isn’t a call to performance, but to presence. To walk in quiet obedience. To embody the Gospel long before we ever speak it.
Because more than anything, the world is watching how we live.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.
God bless you and Go Rise Up!

It's taken me three years to be able to share this story with you. Life is full. But God kept pressing on my heart that it's time to share the story.
Pregnancy. Delivery. Postpartum. They're different for everyone. And in that 4th trimester, it isn’t about “bouncing back”. It’s about becoming.
In this episode, I open up about what I did differently after my second child, and how my approach to postpartum shifted when I went from being a mom of one to a mom of two. I’ve kept my pregnancies and postpartum seasons intentionally private, but today I’m sharing pieces of my journey, not to prescribe, but to remind you: you don’t owe your story to anyone.
The only voices that matter are yours, your baby’s, and God’s.
I’ll walk you through:
- Why the first three months are sacred for both you and your newborn
- How I prepared differently for Charlie this time around
- Why getting bloodwork after birth was a game-changer for my healing
- The role of movement, nourishment, and scar care in postpartum recovery
- My thoughts on C-section healing, CFT therapy, and lactation support
- The importance of aligning with the right medical team
- And why keeping space for your own passions (like Proclaim, for me) is not selfish — it’s stewardship
This is not a “how-to” list. It’s a very real, raw, unedited conversation about grace, healing, and perspective. About slowing down, protecting your peace, and remembering that when your baby was born, a new version of you was born too.
Whether you’re preparing for motherhood, in the thick of postpartum, or reflecting years later, I hope this episode gives you encouragement, permission to slow down, and the reminder that you are not alone.
There is no rush. There is no race. There is only grace.

Spiritual warfare doesn’t always look like catastrophe, sometimes it looks like compromise, distraction, or slow drift. In this episode of Monday Meditations, we explore what it really means to “be watchful” in a world full of noise, confusion, and subtle lies.
The enemy’s strategy is rarely loud. It’s quiet. Personal. Crafted to chip away at your identity, distort truth, and wear you down. But God hasn’t left you defenseless.
This episode is a reminder that you don’t fight for victory, you fight from a place of triumph. You resist the enemy by staying rooted in the truth and surrender to the God who has already overcome.
If you’re feeling weary, distracted, or spiritually under pressure, this is your invitation to reset. To return. To hold the line. Not in your strength, but in His.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

What if the silence in your life isn’t a sign of God’s absence . . . but His protection?
In this episode of Monday Meditations, we explore the quiet, often painful space between promise and fulfillment — the place where God doesn’t hand us the blueprint, but instead hands us Himself.
Whether you’re in a season of waiting, walking in the dark, or wondering why God hasn't revealed what's next, this meditation reminds us of a truth we rarely celebrate: it’s God’s mercy that keeps us from knowing too much, too soon.
Before David ever wore the crown, he walked through caves. Before the breakthrough came, there was obscurity, testing, and silence.
This episode will help you exhale in the waiting, find peace in the mystery, and remember that even in the quiet, God is still moving.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

In a culture obsessed with control, performance, and platform, this episode is a call back to quiet strength, the kind of strength that doesn’t clamor for recognition but kneels to serve.
This Monday Meditation explores what it truly means to lead as Jesus did: not from the front of the room, but from the floor with a towel in hand. We dismantle the world’s version of leadership and return to the ancient, sacred pattern of sacrifice, humility, and obedience.
Real leadership isn’t loud, it's faithful. It’s not about being seen, it's about serving well even when no one’s looking.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your pouring out matters, this episode will remind you: God sees. And what is done in secret will not be wasted.
This is for the man who is tired of striving and ready to lead from surrender. This is for the woman praying for the men in her life to rise in holy strength. This is for the servant-hearted who need to remember: you’re exactly where God works best.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

We’ve dressed fear up as wisdom. We’ve spiritualized our anxiety. We’ve built lives around safety and called it discernment. But let’s be honest, fear has become a socially accepted idol, and it’s robbing us of bold obedience, clear thinking, and the kind of faith that shakes kingdoms.
In this episode, Erika exposes the seductive lies of fear, challenges the false theology we often build around it, and calls listeners back to the raw, immovable truth of who God is. This isn’t self-help. This is spiritual warfare. And it’s time to tear down the altar of fear and remember who holds the throne.
If you're tired of living paralyzed by the “what-ifs,” this episode is your wake-up call. Fear is not your inheritance. Faith is. And your story isn’t over, but fear’s rule is.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

If you've ever asked, “How do I trust when I don’t see it?”- this episode is your answer.
Listen in and let the truth anchor you.

This special episode was recorded live at Calvary Chapel Signal Hill for Pastor James Kaddis’s Women’s Conference: Summer in the Psalms. I had the honor of speaking on Psalm 144, a battle cry for spiritual strength, divine training, and God’s heart for daughters who are both grounded and unshakable.
We’re living in days where peace must be contended for, truth must be proclaimed boldly, and women must rise with purpose, not passivity.
Join me as we unpack what it means to be pillars sculpted for a palace, not by our own might, but by the hands of a faithful and victorious God.

There are moments in life when God does not answer the way we hoped. When the doors stay shut. When the healing doesn’t come. When the timing feels late, and the silence is heavy. In this Monday Meditations episode, we reflect on the beauty and mercy hidden in God’s “no.”
Rooted in Mark 10:35 and steeped in the wisdom of surrender, this episode explores the tension between human desire and divine will. With Scripture as our anchor and trust as our posture, we remember: God's ways are not our ways—but they are always better.
Let this be a quiet place for your soul today—a reminder that you are seen, you are led, and you are loved… even in the waiting.

In a world that never stops shouting, God still chooses to whisper.
This episode invites you into the holy hush—into solitude, silence, and stillness—where the soul is strengthened and peace is restored. Drawing from biblical examples like Jesus in Gethsemane, Elijah in the cave, and Hannah at the temple, E walks you through how holy stillness isn't weakness—it's warfare.
Laced with Bible verses, this episode is a call to step away from the noise and return to the presence of the One who never shakes, never leaves, and never fails.
If your soul feels tired, anxious, or spiritually thin, this sacred pause is for you.
Take a deep breath. Press play. And let Heaven speak.

Recorded live from the 10th annual Young Women’s Leadership Summit, this episode is a message straight from my heart to yours. I was deeply honored to speak at YWLS — and even more proud of my husband and the incredible team who have poured a decade into building this powerful movement of truth and leadership.
In this special episode, I share a bold reminder: we are not just living in cultural chaos — we are standing in a spiritual war zone. And now more than ever, we need women who are not swept up by the noise of the world, but anchored in the Word of God.
This message is a call to revive biblical womanhood — not the watered-down version the world offers, but the kind forged in fire, rooted in obedience, and patterned after the women who came before us: Esther. Ruth. Deborah. Hannah. Mary. Each of them stood in the tension of battle and belief. And so must we.
If you're feeling the weight of your season — whether you’re waiting, leading, building, or starting over — this episode is for you. May it remind you that God is within you, and you will not fall.
Let it stir you. Challenge you. And send you back into your home, your church, and your generation with holy resolve.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

There are moments in our walk with God when the light seems to fade. We stumble, not because the presence of God has left us, but because something has come between us and the Light.
In this week’s Monday Meditations, we explore the quiet eclipse — the subtle ways fear, shame, and failure drift between our hearts and the face of Christ. Like Peter in the courtyard or David on the rooftop, we sometimes forget the light we’ve seen in times when shadows fall.
But the light has not gone out. It is only hidden for a moment — and even there, God is praying, restoring, and calling us back.
If you’ve felt distant, overwhelmed, or unworthy — this episode is for you. Let’s rediscover the true Light that never stops shining, even in the valley of shadow.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Waiting can feel like silence. Like stagnation. Like abandonment.
But what if the delay isn't a detour — what if it's divine preparation?
In today’s episode of Monday Meditations, we explore what it means to wait with purpose and walk with willingness even when the answers haven’t come. Drawing from the story of Ruth, the groaning of Romans 8, and the promises of God's Word, we uncover the truth that God is never inactive — even when we can’t see His hand.
This is for the one in the hallway between closed and open doors.
For the one carrying holy tension.
For the one tempted to give up.
Let this episode reframe your waiting — not as wasted time, but as a sacred invitation to trust, serve, and hope deeper than ever before.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

There comes a moment — quiet, piercing, undeniable — when your soul whispers: “This isn’t working.”
In this powerful episode, we confront the ache of misaligned ambition, the burnout of chasing what was never meant to fulfill you, and the holy invitation to stop, turn around, and walk with God in a new direction.
This isn’t a message about quitting.
It’s a call to repentance and revival.
To courage.
To freedom.
To finally stop running East when the sunset has always been in the West.
If you’re tired, restless, or just ready for something real — this episode is for you.
It’s time to disappoint the crowd, silence the noise, and rediscover the beauty of a surrendered life.
Pause. Breathe. Turn around. God is waiting.
