  Episode #65

  S2. Ep. 20 Leadership w/ Michael King, Jr.

  Aug 11, 202647 min

  What happens when the life everyone else thinks is successful is slowly costing you yourself? In this episode of EVOLVE thru God, I sit down with executive teams coach, speaker, musician, and former pastor Michael King Jr. for a conversation about faith, leadership, burnout, identity, and what happens when God starts asking you to leave behind a version of yourself that no longer fits. Michael’s relationship with God started young, but it became personal when he made the decision for himself to follow Jesus as a senior in high school. That “yes” eventually took him into Bible college, music ministry, a record deal, executive church leadership, and nearly a decade helping build one of the fastest-growing churches in the country. From the outside, it looked like success. Inside, Michael was disappearing. Years of overwork, unhealthy leadership dynamics, spiritual manipulation, and the pressure to keep performing eventually brought him to the point where staying hurt more than leaving. So he walked away without a perfect plan, took a job at a car dealership, and started doing something far harder than building another organization: He started rebuilding himself. What came next became the foundation for the work Michael does today with executive teams and high-performing leaders. He learned that strategy means very little if you don’t know who you are first. And one line from this conversation says it all: “Authentic identity is your last competitive advantage.” This episode is for anyone who has ever looked successful on the outside while quietly wondering, “Where did I go?” Lessons You’ll Learn • How to recognize when success is costing you your identity. • Why burnout is sometimes a signal—not a failure. • The difference between voices telling you who you should be and people reminding you who you could be. • Why faith that never asks questions isn’t really alive. • How your greatest pain can become the raw material for your next purpose. • Why identity has to come before strategy. • How to lead people from love and impact instead of chasing performance and money. The Gift of This Episode The gift is permission to stop performing long enough to remember who you actually are. Michael’s story is proof that leaving one identity behind does not mean you’ve lost your calling. Sometimes it means God is finally giving you room to become it. _________________________________________________________________ WHO IS MICHAEL KING, JR.?

  Episode #64

  S2. Ep. 19 Waiting cont... w/ Lady Gozen

  Jul 31, 202639 min

  What if the season you've been trying to escape is actually the season God is using to prepare you? In Part 2 of Angela Goodman's conversation with Lady Gozen, the discussion moves beyond testimony and into transformation. After losing her career because she refused to compromise her biblical convictions, Gozen shares how God completely shifted her perspective on waiting, healing, and surrender. Instead of rushing toward the next opportunity, she spent nearly two years allowing God to rebuild her from the inside out—learning to grieve, receive help, heal childhood wounds, and trust His timing completely. Her ministry, Wife in the Waiting, isn't ultimately about finding a husband. It's about becoming the person God created you to be before receiving whatever you've been praying for. Whether you're waiting for marriage, healing, purpose, restoration, or your next assignment, this conversation reminds us that God is always more interested in our character than our calendar. Throughout this conversation, Angela and Gozen unpack what covenant truly means, why emotional healing matters, how strong women often struggle to receive love, and why learning to ask for help may be one of the most spiritual things we ever do. One of the most powerful moments comes near the end when Gozen offers this simple challenge: "If you're wondering where God is… go back and do the last thing He asked you to do." In this episode you'll discover: • Why waiting is often God's greatest preparation. • How grief can become part of God's healing process. • Why asking for help is a sign of strength—not weakness. • What covenant really means from a biblical perspective. • How to stop idolizing the promise and start pursuing the Promise Giver. • Why healing childhood wounds changes every future relationship. • How obedience creates alignment with God's timing. This conversation is for anyone who has ever wondered if God has forgotten them. He hasn't. Sometimes He's simply preparing you for something far greater than you can currently imagine. Lessons from this Episode Waiting is not punishment; it's preparation. Healing begins when we stop pretending we're okay. Strong people often struggle the most with receiving love and support. God develops character before He delivers promises. Covenant is built on commitment, not convenience. Your identity should never depend on another person choosing you. Obedience often requires doing the last thing God already told you to do. The Gift The greatest gift from this episode is the reminder that God isn't withholding good things from you. He's preparing you to receive them. Your waiting season isn't evidence that God has forgotten you. It may be the greatest act of love He's ever shown you. _________________________________________________________________ WHO IS LADY GOZEN? Gozen Soydag, known as Lady Gozen, is a Christian speaker, author, psychotherapist, and founder of Wife in the Waiting. Through her own journey of heartbreak, healing, faith, and surrender, she has become a passionate voice helping women embrace wholeness, purpose, and identity in every season of life. With a unique blend of biblical wisdom, therapeutic insight, and personal testimony, Gozen empowers people to transform from the inside out while trusting God's timing and plan. Her message reaches thousands worldwide through speaking, writing, mentorship, and her growing Wife in the Waiting community.

  S2. Ep. 17 Magdalena's Daughters w/ Ashley Hill

  Jul 9, 202645 min

  What happens when God places a burden on your heart that you can't ignore? In this inspiring episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist, nonprofit founder, and child advocate Ashley Hill, whose life has become a testimony of radical obedience to God's calling. Ashley shares how what began as working with foster youth quickly became a heartbreaking realization that countless children were falling victim to human trafficking—and that God was calling her to do something about it. Instead of looking the other way, she listened to the quiet whispers that eventually became Magdalena's Daughters, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting foster youth who are vulnerable to trafficking and creating lasting change within the child welfare system. From life-changing mission trips to Israel and Thailand, to learning how to discern God's voice, Ashley opens up about trusting His timing, leaving behind fear, and building a vision far bigger than herself—a village where vulnerable girls can heal, belong, and rediscover hope. This conversation is about courage, discernment, purpose, and the incredible things that happen when we simply say "yes" to God. Lessons You'll Learn: • How God often plants a calling years before He reveals the full vision. • Why discernment is one of the most important spiritual disciplines we can develop. • How slowing down, fasting, and prayer create clarity for life's biggest decisions. • Why relationships—not rescue alone—are the key to lasting healing. • How God provides every step of the way when we walk in obedience. • Practical ways parents can protect children from online exploitation and trafficking. The Gift of This Episode You'll leave this conversation with a renewed confidence that God doesn't always call the most qualified—He calls the willing. Ashley's story is a reminder that when we faithfully take the next step, even before we know the entire plan, God supplies the people, provision, and purpose exactly when they're needed. ____________________________________________________________________ WHO IS ASHLEY HILL? Ashley Hill is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, systems builder, and modern-day abolitionist dedicated to protecting vulnerable youth before crisis ever happens. As the Founder and Executive Director of Magdalena’s Daughters, she leads innovative, relationship-centered efforts to prevent human trafficking among foster youth through community, advocacy, mental health support, and prevention-focused systems change. With years of frontline experience working directly with foster youth and youth impacted by exploitation, Ashley has become a nationally recognized voice on trafficking prevention, relational safety, and the urgent need to rethink how systems support vulnerable young people. Her work is rooted in a powerful belief: prevention doesn’t start with rescue, it starts with relationships. Ashley is the creator of the RAISE Framework, Recognize, Assist, Inform, Support, Empower, a prevention-centered model designed to help youth build resilience, identity, safety, and belonging before exploitation occurs. Through initiatives such as Raise the Village and RAISE the Roof, she is helping build trauma-informed ecosystems, housing solutions, and community-based prevention models that address the root causes of vulnerability. Known for her emotionally compelling storytelling and systems-level insight, Ashley’s TEDx talk has reached more than 1.3 million viewers and ranks among the top 1% most viewed TEDx talks globally. Whether speaking to policymakers, educators, advocates, healthcare leaders, or communities, Ashley challenges audiences to move beyond reactive systems and toward a future where every young person feels seen, supported, and protected before traffickers ever have the opportunity to exploit their vulnerability. Ashley’s mission is simple but transformative: to build systems where vulnerable youth are not just rescued, but truly connected, empowered, and able to thrive.

  S2. Ep. 16 Look Up w/ Tom Campbell

  Jul 1, 202648 min

  When was the last time you truly looked up? In this heartfelt episode of EVOLVE thru God, Angela Goodman sits down with author, speaker, and podcast host Tom Campbell to explore how life's greatest hardships often become the very moments that draw us closer to God. Raised in a Catholic home, Tom shares how faith was initially something he practiced because it was expected—but everything changed after walking through divorce, losing his job, experiencing deep family pain, and questioning where God was in the middle of it all. Instead of finding answers in success or possessions, he discovered that God was quietly calling him toward purpose, compassion, and trust. From a life-changing experience inside a children's cancer ward to an unforgettable encounter with an elephant named "Blessing" in Africa, Tom reveals the extraordinary ways God speaks when we're willing to slow down, become present, and simply... look up. Together, Angela and Tom discuss the difference between man-made success and God-made purpose, recognizing divine signs, finding peace through surrender, serving others with intention, and why our greatest measure of wealth may have nothing to do with money. If you've ever wondered whether God is still speaking—or questioned why difficult seasons happen—this conversation will remind you that He has never stopped working. Lessons You'll Learn: • How pain often becomes the doorway to a deeper relationship with God. • Why "universal net worth" may matter more than financial success. • How God uses hardship to redirect us toward our true purpose. • The importance of looking for divine signs in everyday life. • Why serving others is one of the fastest ways to encounter God's presence. • How trust grows when we surrender control. The Gift of This Episode You'll leave this conversation with a renewed awareness that God is constantly speaking—through people, nature, unexpected moments, and even life's greatest disappointments. Tom's story reminds us that when we stop looking down at distractions and start looking up with expectation, we begin to recognize that God has been walking beside us all along. _________________________________________________________________ WHO IS TOM CAMPBELL?

  Episode #60

  S2. Ep. 15 Christ Consciousness w/ Rev. Honi Borden

  Jun 17, 20261h 3m

  What if the Kingdom of God isn't something we wait for—but something we awaken to within? In the final installment of this powerful three-part series, Reverend Honi Borden and Angela Goodman explore some of the most profound questions of faith, spirituality, purpose, and divine identity. After sharing her extraordinary life story and near-death experiences in Parts 1 and 2, Honi now takes us deeper into the meaning behind those experiences. Together, they discuss Christ Consciousness, spiritual awakening, personal transformation, and what it truly means to embody the teachings of Jesus rather than simply study them. This conversation challenges listeners to move beyond labels, dogma, and fear-based thinking and into a direct, personal relationship with God. Honi shares her perspective on the living Christ, the divine presence within each of us, and how awakening to that truth can transform every area of life. Rather than teaching religion, she invites listeners into remembrance—remembering who they were created to be and the love that has always existed within them. Whether you're deeply rooted in faith, exploring spirituality, or somewhere in between, this episode offers a thoughtful and inspiring invitation to look beyond external answers and discover the Kingdom within. This concludes our three-part journey with Reverend Honi Borden—but the conversation and the invitation to awaken are only beginning. 💡 Lessons Learned Faith is meant to be experienced, not just studied. Knowledge can inform us, but transformation happens through direct experience. The Christ within is an invitation, not a destination. Spiritual growth is a continual process of remembering who God created us to be. Questions are not the opposite of faith. Often our deepest questions become the doorway to a deeper relationship with God. Identity transformation is part of every spiritual journey. The versions of ourselves that once protected us may eventually need to be released. Love is the highest frequency of truth. Beyond fear, judgment, and division is the invitation to live from God's love. Spiritual awakening is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you have always been. The Kingdom of God is closer than we think. It is not separate from us—it is something we are called to embody. 🎁 The Gift of This Episode The gift of this episode is remembrance. Remembrance that you are not broken. Remembrance that your relationship with God is available right now. Remembrance that your purpose, identity, and divine connection are not things you must earn—they are things you are invited to rediscover. If Parts 1 and 2 revealed Honi's story, Part 3 reveals the deeper message behind it all: the same divine presence that guided her life is available to each of us. _______________________________________________________________ WHO IS REVEREND HONI BORDEN? Rev. Honi Borden is not a religious teacher. She is a living testimony. On January 8, 2012, she died from a rare illness and crossed into the AfterLife — encountering the Living Presence of God Almighty, the Living Christ, and higher dimensional beings of light beyond any single human framework. She was sent back with one clear Mission: BE it. Walk it. Live it. Without hesitation, she surrendered a thriving career — including Washington D.C.’s first Holistic Wellness Medi Spa & Healing Center (2006) — and spent five years on a planetary mission across 40 sacred locations on earth. A Johns Hopkins Post Master’s clinician, 20-year Advanced Meditation Teacher, and 20-year Women’s Circle leader, Rev. Honi Borden helps women of deep faith in God Almighty — across every background — truly remember who God Almighty created them to be. She freely gives every audience her signature framework, The Four Living Declarations™: I AM · I HAVE · I CAN · I WILL. Together with her husband Michael Abramson, she co-hosts Ascension Alchemists™ podcast and offers self-paced courses at AscensionAlchemists.com. Devoted mother of Kiyan and Nevan.
