Have you ever thought… “I don’t even recognize myself anymore.” “I’ve been everything for everyone… but who am I now?” “Is it too late for me to dream again?” “How do I reconnect with God — and myself?” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and this space is for you. Welcome to The Reclaimed Woman podcast. Hey friend, I’m Christi — wife, mom, and follower of Jesus. After years of holding it all together for everyone else, I hit a breaking point. I had lost my identity, my spark, and honestly, my connection with God. One summer, I found myself on the back porch — in my PJ’s, coffee in one hand, Bible and journal in the other — crying out for answers. And God met me there. In that sacred space, He revealed something powerful: He showed me I wasn’t beyond repair. I was just buried beneath expectations, exhaustion, and fear. And it was time to reclaim what was always mine — my identity, my voice, and my purpose. This podcast is for the woman who’s ready to rise again.  To do the inner work - the Throne Work — to uncover her identity in Christ, break free from fear and people-pleasing, and step boldly into the purpose God always had for her. Each week, we’ll have faith-filled conversations to help you: Break through spiritual and emotional strongholds Uncover your gifts and strengths Rebuild your confidence in Christ And boldly walk into your next chapter with faith and fire You haven’t missed your chance. You’re not starting from scratch. You’re reclaiming what was always yours. Let’s do it together.

18 | It’s Not About You — Using Your Gift to Serve, Not Perform
Let’s be honest, sometimes using our spiritual gifts can start to feel more like pressure than purpose. Maybe you’ve felt that quiet urge to prove yourself, to be seen, or to measure your worth by how people respond. But what if it’s not about being noticed at all? What if God is more concerned with the posture of your heart than the size of your platform? In this episode of The Reclaimed Woman, I’m talking about the difference between serving with your gift and performing with it, because how we use our gift matters just as much as discovering what it is. We’ll look at what Scripture says about the purpose of spiritual gifts, the warning signs of performance, and how to realign our hearts toward humility, surrender, and obedience.   This is your heart check moment:👉 Your gift is not your identity. It’s your assignment.👉 Surrendered gifts bear fruit.👉 Performed gifts produce pressure.   If you’ve ever wrestled with comparison, burnout, or the need for affirmation, this episode will help you come back to the posture Jesus modeled, washing feet, not chasing platforms.   📖 Scriptures Mentioned: 1 Peter 4:11 Romans 12:6–8 1 Corinthians 12:4–10, 27–31 Ephesians 4:11–12 John 15:5 Galatians 5:13 John 13:13–14   📝 Journal Reflection Prompts: Where have I slipped into performing rather than serving? How can I return to offering my gift in humility and love? Whose feet is God asking me to wash today, figuratively or literally? 💡 Related Episode: [Episode 17: How Do I Know What My Spiritual Gift Is?]   Next Steps: Revisit your spiritual gift with a heart of service, not performance. Journal through today’s reflection prompts and pray for a posture of surrender.

17 | Discerning Your Gift: How Do I Know What My Gift Is? Discerning Your Unique Spiritual Wiring
In this episode of The Reclaimed Woman Podcast, I’m walking you through how to discern your spiritual gift, not by comparing yourself to others or striving to earn it, but by learning to notice the Holy Spirit’s patterns of joy, fruit, confirmation, and gentle prompting in your life. We’ll look at what Scripture says about gifts like wisdom, faith, teaching, discernment, leadership, and mercy,  and how those gifts often show up in your everyday walk with God. I want you to see that spiritual gifts aren’t some hidden mystery or “super-spiritual” thing,  they’re practical expressions of God’s grace meant to build up His Church. If you’ve ever wondered where God wants to use you, this episode will help you recognize what He’s already doing in and through you. 💡 You’ll walk away with tools to discern your gift, the confidence to step boldly into your calling, and a renewed sense of purpose in how you serve others.   📖 Scriptures + Key Takeaways 1 Peter 4:10_ “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.” Spiritual gifts are given by the Spirit, not earned. Joy and fruit reveal where God is working through you. Confirmation often comes through the Body of Christ. Assessments can guide you,  but only the Spirit defines your gift.   🪞 Reflection What lights you up when you serve others? Where do you consistently see fruit and favor? What have others affirmed in you? Pray: “Holy Spirit, what have You placed in me that I’ve been afraid to notice?”   🌿 Connect with Me If today’s episode stirred something in you, I’d love to walk alongside you as your coach.You can learn more about coaching and spiritual growth at www.christiratcliff.com Connect with me on Instagram →@christi_ratcliff_coaching Listen to The Reclaimed Woman Podcast → Apple Podcasts

16 | You Are Gifted — Understanding What Spiritual Gifts Actually Are
There’s a quiet battle happening in so many women’s hearts right now.We scroll through social media, see someone else’s platform, and start wondering if what we bring to the table even matters. We compare, we question, and sometimes, we shrink back,  waiting until we “get it all together” before we step into what God’s called us to do. But here’s the truth: you are already gifted.Not because you earned it, not because you’re perfect,  but because the Holy Spirit chose you, on purpose, for a purpose. And the enemy would love nothing more than to keep you doubting that. In this episode, I’m helping you get a clear, biblical understanding of what spiritual gifts actually are,  and what they’re not. We’re walking through 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4 to uncover four of the most common lies women believe about their gifts and the truth that sets us free. You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between your natural strengths and the supernatural gifts the Spirit gives you, and why both matter. We’ll talk about comparison, insecurity, and the idea that we have to be “ready” before we can serve… and I’ll show you what God’s Word actually says about it. This conversation is for every woman who’s ever felt unseen, overlooked, or unsure of where she fits in the Body of Christ. 💡 Key Takeaways You don’t earn your gift — it’s given by grace. Every believer has a spiritual gift. Yes, that includes you. Your gift isn’t about perfection; it’s about obedience. Spiritual gifts are meant for service, not self-promotion. God arranged you in the Body of Christ on purpose.   📖 Scripture Anchors 1 Corinthians 12:4–7Romans 12:6Ephesians 4:11–12 These passages will be our anchors over the next few episodes as we take a deeper dive into how spiritual gifts work together in the Body of Christ.   📝 Reflection & Invitation Take a few minutes this week to sit with the Lord and journal: What are my spiritual gifts? What lies have I believed about them? What truth does God’s Word say about me? And as you do, remember this: you are gifted, not for your glory, but for God’s.   🌱 Let’s Keep Growing Together If today’s episode stirred something in you, I’d love to walk alongside you as your coach.You can learn more about coaching and spiritual growth at www.christiratcliff.com Connect with me on Instagram →@christi_ratcliff_coaching Listen to The Reclaimed Woman Podcast → Apple Podcasts    ❤️ Next Steps Journal what God’s been showing you about your gifts.

15 | Christian Turning Point from Cowardice to Courage
These past weeks have been some of the hardest for believers. The assassination of Charlie Kirk shook our nation. In Michigan, a church was burned to the ground. In Nigeria, brothers and sisters in Christ continue to suffer relentless persecution. These events aren’t just headlines, they confront us with a sobering question: What does it really mean to follow Jesus when the cost is this high? In this episode, I open Mark 8:31–9:1 and ask the hard but necessary question: Is Jesus worth dying for? Together, we’ll talk about what it looks like to move from fear to faith, from silence to boldness, and from comfort to carrying the cross. If you’ve felt the tension of standing for Christ in a culture that finds His Word offensive, this conversation is for you. My prayer is that you’ll walk away challenged, strengthened, and reminded that in Christ, there is no such thing as a cowardly Christian, only courageous conquerors who endure for the sake of the Gospel.   Next Steps: Share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement to stand strong in their faith. Leave a review on Apple Podcasts, it helps more women find hope and courage in Christ. Join me next week as we dive into Spiritual Gifts and how God equips us for Kingdom work.   Work with Me  📧 Contact → hello@christiratcliff.com 🎙️ Podcast → The Reclaimed Woman Podcast 📸 Instagram → @christi_ratcliff_coaching 🌐 Coaching → www.christiratcliff.com/coaching

14 | Connecting the Dots: How God Weaves Your Story for His Glory
Friend, I know life doesn’t always feel like it’s moving in a straight line. Some seasons feel random, messy, or even wasted. But here’s the truth: God is weaving every single piece of your story together, your pain, your passions, your gifts, and even the hard detours, for His glory and your good. In this episode, I’m sharing how He connects the dots so you can see that nothing in your story is ever wasted. In this final episode of the Patterns of Purpose series, I’m pulling everything together, purpose, pain, and passions, so you can see how God weaves them into a calling that glorifies Him. From the stories of Esther, Joseph, Moses, Mary, and Martha, we’ll see how God has always been in the business of connecting the dots. I’ll also share some of my own story, showing you how God redeemed pain, re-shaped passions, and used unexpected seasons to prepare me for the work I’m doing today. If you’ve ever wondered how your story fits into God’s bigger plan, this conversation will give you hope and clarity that He wastes nothing.   Next Steps: Take some time this week to reflect: What dots in your story might God be inviting you to connect?

13 | Passions and Gifts: How God Shapes You for His Purpose
So many women long to know what their purpose really is, but often get caught up in chasing passions the world says will make them happy. The truth is, your gifts and passions were never meant to glorify you, they were designed to glorify God. When surrendered to Him, even the smallest skill or deepest desire can become a powerful tool for His kingdom. In this episode, I’m sharing how God weaves your passions, natural talents, and spiritual gifts into His greater plan for your life. We’ll look at biblical examples like Bezalel, David, and Paul to see how God shapes and redeems gifts for His glory. I’ll also share some of my own story of how God shaped my love for words, counsel, and guidance into a calling I never expected. You’ll learn the difference between natural talents vs. spiritual gifts, how to discern which passions are God-given, and how the enemy tries to twist your gifts for self instead of service. My prayer is that you walk away encouraged, knowing that nothing in your design is wasted, God has uniquely equipped you for His purpose.   👉 Learn more about coaching: www.christiratcliff.com/coaching   👉 Related Episodes: Episode 11: Patterns of Pain: How God Redeems Your Suffering Episode 12: Patterns of Purpose: How God Uses Your Story Connect with Me  📧 Contact → hello@christiratcliff.com🎙️ Podcast → The Reclaimed Woman Podcast📸 Instagram → @christi_ratcliff_coaching🌐 Coaching → www.christiratcliff.com/coaching Next Steps: Spend time writing out your passions and gifts this week.

What if the very places of pain in your life are not detours, but the very pathway God is using to draw you closer to Him? Pain isn’t pointless, it’s purposeful. As Christian women, it’s easy to believe the lie that suffering means God has forgotten us. But the truth is, every trial, every loss, and every heartbreak can become part of your faith journey toward healing and wholeness. In this episode of The Reclaimed Woman Podcast, I’m sharing how God redeems suffering, restores broken places, and uses your struggles to deepen your spiritual growth. Through the stories of Joseph, Job, and Paul, we’ll see how their struggles were redeemed for God’s glory. I’ll also share my personal story of healing from father wounds, how pain affected my marriage, and how God restored what the enemy meant for destruction. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: The biblical perspective on suffering and why pain is not punishment in Christ How to recognize God’s purpose in pain and trials The most common lies the enemy tells you about suffering, and how to fight back with Scripture Why Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” reveals God’s strength in our weakness Practical steps to find hope and healing through faith, even in hard seasons Sister, your story doesn’t end in suffering.

From unexpected opportunities to repeated struggles, the threads in your story may be revealing more than you realize. In today’s episode, I’m kicking off a brand-new series called Patterns of Purpose. We’re talking about the difference between your eternal purpose (to glorify God in all things) and your unique calling (the specific ways you live that out in different seasons of life).

10 | Renewing Your Mind is a Daily Practice, Not a One-Time Fix
What if transformation isn’t about speed, but about rhythm? So many Christian women feel frustrated when change doesn’t come overnight. But the truth is, real spiritual growth and mind renewal come through daily surrender, consistent devotion, and the power of the Holy Spirit at work in you. In this episode, I’m wrapping up our Break the Pattern , Renew the Mind series with a truth that’s not flashy but absolutely foundational: consistency. Renewing your mind isn’t about a one-time revelation or a spiritual quick fix, it’s about daily rhythm. I talk about why “microwave faith” won’t last, and how God grows us through steady, faithful steps over time. I’ll walk you through simple, practical rhythms you can build into your life: Scripture before screens, speaking truth out loud, journaling the battle, worshiping even when it feels foggy, and inviting the Holy Spirit into your every day. I’ll also share how these habits have shaped my own walk with God and why sanctification is less about sprinting and more about staying the course. If you’ve been longing for deep transformation but feel stuck in a cycle of quick starts and slow fades, this conversation will remind you that God’s not asking for perfection, He’s asking for your daily surrender.   Scriptures Mentioned: Psalm 37:23 Matthew 13:20–21 John 14:16–17 Romans 12:2 Psalm 32:8 Romans 8:29   Friend, you don’t have to walk this journey alone. If you’re ready to release those old patterns and grab hold of God’s truth, a Clarity Session is a great place to start. 👉 Sign up at www.christiratcliff.com And don’t forget, we can stay connected on Instagram @christi_ratcliff_coaching, you can catch every episode of The Reclaimed Woman Podcast, and you’re always welcome inside The Reclaimed Woman Collective on Facebook.

09 | Replacing Lies with Truth
So many of us carry labels, some given by others, some whispered by our own thoughts that make us feel stuck. Words like 'I’m not enough,' 'I’m too late,' or 'I’m invisible' play on repeat. But friend, those are lies, and they don’t define who you are. In this episode of The Reclaimed Woman, we’re talking about the power of labels and why the enemy doesn’t get naming rights over your life. I’ll walk you through Matthew 4, where Jesus faced temptation in the wilderness, and show you how He fought back, not with self-help talk, but with the Word of God. You’ll learn how to spot lies as they come, replace them with God’s truth, and begin living from the identity He has already spoken over you. Here’s what we’ll cover: Why labels like “too much” or “not enough” keep you stuck How Jesus modeled protecting His identity in the wilderness Simple steps to renew your mind through repentance and faith Scripture truths you can declare over yourself every day Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 4:1–11 2 Corinthians 12:9 Ecclesiastes 3:11 Genesis 16:13 Colossians 3:12 Ephesians 2:10 Ephesians 6:10 Proverbs 31:25 2 Timothy 1:7 John 15:16 Romans 8:1–2 Romans 12:2 2 Peter 1:3   Let’s walk this out together, friend.

07 | Identifying the Root of Limiting Beliefs
Have you ever felt guilty for wanting more out of life, even when it’s for a God-given purpose? Do you believe you’ve missed your chance to step into your calling because of your age, your past, or your mistakes? Have you caught yourself thinking, “I don’t have anything valuable to offer,” even though you know what God says?   You can’t reclaim your purpose until you recognize the lies you've been agreeing with. Once you identify the belief, you can start to break the pattern, with the truth of God's Word.   In this episode, I’m kicking off a new series called Break the Pattern – Renew the Mind and diving into something that hits all of us at some point: limiting beliefs,  the kind of thoughts that quietly hold you back, even when you love Jesus and know the Word. I’m sharing five common lies many Christian women believe, where they come from, and how to replace them with truth. I’ll also open up about my personal struggle with money, how it affected my marriage, and the moment God called me out of that mindset. If you’ve been feeling stuck or second-guessing your worth, this one’s for you.   Resources  Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 10:5 Romans 12:2 2 Corinthians 12:9 2 Corinthians 5:17 Philippians 1:6 Ecclesiastes 3:11 Romans 12:6 Quotes Mentioned: “Unbelief is the mother of sin.” – Charles Spurgeon “You don’t overcome false thinking by affirming yourself, you overcome it by submitting to the truth of God’s Word.” – John MacArthur “God uses broken vessels, for it is through the cracks that His light shines.” – Charles Spurgeon   Follow along on Instagram for encouragement and behind-the-scenes content at christi_ratcliff_coaching and subscribe to The Reclaimed Woman Podcast so you never miss an episode.     🔗 Sign up now: Christi Ratcliff Coaching  Work With Me.

06 | 5 Lies the Enemy Uses to Keep Christian Women Stuck
Sometimes it’s not what others say, it’s the quiet lies we start to believe about ourselves that hold us back. Lies that make us feel like we’re too late, not enough, or disqualified from what God has called us to do.   Have you ever felt guilty for wanting more out of life, even when it’s for a God-given purpose? Do you believe you’ve missed your chance to step into your calling because of your age or past? Have you caught yourself thinking, “I don’t have anything valuable to offer”?   In this episode, I’m exposing five of the biggest lies Christian women believe  so you can finally break free from the mindset traps that keep you stuck, silent, and playing small. These lies may sound spiritual, but they are rooted in fear and distortion of truth. Together, we’ll uncover them, speak God’s truth over them, and walk forward in obedience and purpose. If you’ve been struggling with feeling not enough, scared, or unsure about surrendering to God, this episode will bring some clear, gospel centered encouragement.   Scripture References: Romans 12:6 2 Peter 1:3 2 Timothy 1:7 Proverbs 31:25 Romans 15:13   Follow along on Instagram for encouragement and behind-the-scenes content at christi_ratcliff_coaching and subscribe to The Reclaimed Woman Podcast so you never miss an episode.     🔗 Sign up now: Christi Ratcliff Coaching  Work With Me.

05 | What It Means to RISE Boldly as a Christian Woman
Have you been hiding in the shadows, afraid to step into your calling? Do you wonder if being bold as a woman of faith means being loud or rebellious? Are you questioning whether God has really called you to lead, speak, or build?   In this episode, I’m sharing what “RISE” really means,not just a theme or mindset, but a personal and biblical call to step out of hiding and walk confidently in the authority God gives us. I talk about what true boldness looks like for women of faith, not being loud or bossy, but listening to God, obeying even when it’s hard, and showing up where He’s placed us. I’ll also share my own story, how surrender has shaped me, how God shifted my heart, and why I believe real femininity is a strong and beautiful thing when it’s fully surrendered to Him.   Related Scripture: Ephesians 6:10 - 18 2 Timothy 1:7 Proverbs 31:25   Follow along on Instagram for encouragement and behind-the-scenes content at christi_ratcliff_coaching and subscribe to The Reclaimed Woman Podcast so you never miss an episode.     🔗 Sign up now: Christi Ratcliff Coaching  Work With Me.

04 | Walking In The Will of God
In this episode, I’m sharing what it really looked like to obey God in everyday moments, especially when it meant disappointing people I love. I talk through three specific stories where I had to choose obedience over approval, from saying no, setting boundaries, and stepping away from a church role I loved. This is for the woman who’s been doing all the right things but feels burnt out, bitter, or buried under the weight of people pleasing. I’ll walk you through five big things God taught me during that season and how you can begin walking in His will with peace and boldness, even if your knees are shaking.    Resources  Elisabeth Elliot quote: “Only one thing can prevent you from doing the will of God, and that’s your will.”     Follow along on Instagram for encouragement and behind-the-scenes content at christi_ratcliff_coaching and subscribe to The Reclaimed Woman Podcast so you never miss an episode.     🔗 Sign up now: Christi Ratcliff Coaching  Work With Me.

03 | Who Are You Without the Titles? Rediscovering Identity When the Roles Shift
You’ve shown up for everyone else, wearing the titles, carrying the weight, and pressing forward even when your heart felt tired. But now, in the quiet moments,  you found yourself whispering, “I don’t even know who I am anymore”?...   Are you unsure of your identity now that your role as a mom, wife, leader, or caregiver has shifted?   Do you wonder what remains when the titles fade and the to-do list no longer defines you?   In this episode, I’m opening up about something that hits close to home for so many of us, identity. I’m talking about what happens when the roles we’ve carried, mom, wife, leader, caregiver, start to shift or fade, and we’re left wondering, “Who am I now?” If you’ve ever felt lost in the in between or like your worth is tied to what you do, I want you to know, you are not alone. I’ll share the truth that helped me reclaim who I am in Christ and why knowing you’re His daughter changes everything. This conversation is a reminder that your identity is not built on your titles or to do list, it’s anchored in the One who never changes.   Scriptures Referenced: 2 Corinthians 5:17 1 Peter 2:9 Galatians 3:26 Romans 8:17 Ephesians 2:10   Related Episodes: From Burned Out to Bold What It Really Means to Be Reclaimed (coming soon)   Follow along on Instagram for encouragement and behind-the-scenes content. christi_ratcliff_coaching   Work With Me.

02 | From Burned Out to Bold
Ever feel like you’re doing everything “right,” but still feel spiritually empty? Tired of saying yes out of guilt, fear, or expectations, instead of peace? Wondering who (or what) is really sitting on the throne of your heart?   In this first full episode of The Reclaimed Woman Podcast, I’m sharing the raw, unfiltered story of how I went from spiritual burnout to bold surrender. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, spiritually dry, or stuck in people-pleasing, I’ve been there. I’ll take you back to the moment everything shifted for me, and the simple but powerful truth that changed everything. My hope is that you’ll walk away knowing this: surrender isn’t weakness. It’s the starting point for reclaiming your God-given identity and stepping boldly into your calling.   Scripture references from this message: 2 Timothy 1:7 Romans 15:13 2 Peter 1:3–8 Ephesians 6:10–18   Follow along on Instagram for encouragement and behind-the-scenes content. christi_ratcliff_coaching   Work With Me.

You’ve been holding it all together for so long. You’ve shown up, served everyone around you, and pushed through the noise. But somewhere along the way, you started to feel like a stranger to yourself.   Who am I now?   Is it too late to dream again?   How do I reconnect with God and with me?   Welcome to the Reclaimed Woman Podcast. I’m so glad you’re here. If any of those questions have been stirring in your heart, you’re not alone, and this space was created with you in mind. I’m sharing a piece of my story, how I lost myself in people-pleasing and perfectionism, and how God met me right in the middle of my mess. I’ll take you back to a quiet morning on the back porch, where everything shifted and I began the journey of reclaiming my identity, my voice, and my purpose. If you’ve ever felt buried under expectations, exhaustion, and fear, I pray this meets you right where you are. You haven’t missed your chance. You’re not starting from scratch. You’re reclaiming what was always yours, with faith and fire.   Follow along on Instagram for encouragement and behind-the-scenes content! christi_ratcliff_coaching   Work With Me.

The Reclaimed Woman I Christian, Identity, Purpose, Life Coaching
Have you ever thought… “I don’t even recognize myself anymore.” “I’ve been everything for everyone… but who am I now?” “Is it too late for me to dream again?” “How do I reconnect with God — and myself?” If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and this space is for you. Welcome to The Reclaimed Woman podcast. Hey friend, I’m Christi — wife, mom, and follower of Jesus. After years of holding it all together for everyone else, I hit a breaking point. I had lost my identity, my spark, and honestly, my connection with God. One summer, I found myself on the back porch — in my PJ’s, coffee in one hand, Bible and journal in the other — crying out for answers. And God met me there. In that sacred space, He revealed something powerful: He showed me I wasn’t beyond repair. I was just buried beneath expectations, exhaustion, and fear. And it was time to reclaim what was always mine — my identity, my voice, and my purpose. This podcast is for the woman who’s ready to rise again.  To do the inner work - the Throne Work — to uncover her identity in Christ, break free from fear and people-pleasing, and step boldly into the purpose God always had for her. Each week, we’ll have faith-filled conversations to help you: Break through spiritual and emotional strongholds Uncover your gifts and strengths Rebuild your confidence in Christ And boldly walk into your next chapter with faith and fire You haven’t missed your chance. You’re not starting from scratch. You’re reclaiming what was always yours. Let’s do it together.
