This conversation centers on one core truth: God is not distant—He’s inviting you into union, connection, and intimacy.

Through heartfelt teaching and a vulnerable personal encounter, Kiersten explores what it looks like to move from simply being aware of God… to deeply engaging with Him. She shares how a simple moment at her dining room table turned into a life-giving encounter that ignited hunger, identity, and authority through the presence of God.

You’ll discover that connection with God isn’t about striving or performance—it’s about participation.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why“union” with God matters
• The difference between awareness and true intimacy
• How to recognize when God is inviting you deeper
• The 3 keys to connection: awareness, vulnerability, and intentionality
• Why leaning in can feel uncomfortable—but leads to transformation
• How to move from passive faith into active, relational engagement

Kiersten also shares a powerful moment of surrender that led to deep encounter, worship, intercession, and stepping into spiritual authority—revealing that God doesn’t just meet us… He reveals identity.

Key Takeaway:

Connection with God is not just something you learn about—it’s something you live.
When you lean in, respond, and make space, His presence becomes more than a moment—it becomes your way of life.

Reflection Questions:

• Where have you sensed God inviting you to pause and lean in?
• Are you staying at awareness, or stepping into vulnerability?
• What would it look like to intentionally create space for connection this week?

Prayer:

“God, make us aware of Your presence and responsive to Your invitation. Teach us to lean in, to be vulnerable, and to live fully connected to You.”

In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Kiersten sits down with Olivia Fitzpatrick, a personal stylist turned identity advocate, to uncover the hidden connection between image, identity, and spiritual transformation.

After years of working closely with women behind closed doors, Olivia began to see a pattern: outward beauty often masked inward brokenness. What looked polished on the outside was often covering pain, insecurity, and a distorted sense of worth.

This episode explores how God doesn’t just care about what we wear—but what we’re clothed in spiritually.

Through scripture, personal encounters, and raw storytelling, you’ll discover how God:

• Restores identity from the inside out
• Illuminates hidden places for healing
• Clothes us in truth, righteousness, and love
• Invites us into a life of freedom—not performance

This is an invitation to stop hiding… and start becoming illuminated.

Key Themes

• The connection between external image and internal identity
• Why the enemy targets how we see ourselves
• The spiritual significance of being “clothed” in scripture
• Walking in true identity as an image bearer of God
• The power of illumination: bringing darkness into light

Takeaways

• You can look put together externally while feeling broken internally
• Image distortion impacts how you see yourself AND God
• God’s response to your brokenness is not shame—it’s covering, love, and redemption
• Transformation is both:
  • A gift from God
  • A choice we step into

Quotes

• “As long as we look beautiful, we can trick the world into believing things that aren’t true.”
• “If the enemy can distort our image, he can distort how we see God.”
• “You don’t have to earn redemption—you’re already clothed in it.”
• “It’s a human behavior to change ourselves—but a spiritual response to let God transform us.”

Invitation to the Listener

Where has your identity been shaped by distortion instead of truth?

ASK GOD:

• “What am I believing about myself that isn’t from You?”
• “What are You clothing me in right now?”
• “What do I need to put off—and then put on?”

In this powerful episode of Igniting Hearts, Kiersten sits down with her friend Debbie to talk about walking through wilderness seasons with intention. Debbie shares the emotional story of receiving a frightening medical possibility for her one-year-old daughter and the five-month season of waiting that followed.

Instead of giving her the outcome she desperately wanted, God gave Debbie a surprising instruction from Scripture: “Celebrate in the wilderness.”

Through honest prayers, intentional worship, and radical acts of joy—Debbie learned how obedience and celebration can transform the way we walk through hardship.

Her testimony is a powerful reminder that our joy isn’t dependent on the outcome, but on the goodness of God.

If you’re walking through uncertainty, grief, or a waiting season, this episode will encourage you to lift your eyes, hold onto God’s promises, and celebrate His goodness—even before your breakthrough arrives.

In This Episode You’ll Hear

• Debbie’s powerful testimony of facing a possible diagnosis for her baby daughter
• What it means to walk through a “wilderness season”
• How God spoke through Exodus 5:1 — “Celebrate in the wilderness”
• How choosing joy can transform your family culture
• The importance of community and prayer support during difficult seasons
• How God uses the process to shape our purpose
  
  

Key Takeaways

1. Wilderness seasons are part of the journey of faith.
Even when we trust God’s character, we still have to walk through uncertainty.

2. Sometimes God gives us instruction instead of answers.
Debbie didn’t receive a promise about the outcome—she received a command to celebrate.

3. Worship shifts our perspective.
Choosing to worship in difficult moments can ignite joy and strengthen our faith.

4. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit, not a result of circumstances.
True joy comes from focusing on who God is, not what we see.

5. Community matters.
God designed us to walk through both joy and wilderness seasons with others.

Memorable Quotes

• “Through the process, there’s always a purpose.”
• “God didn’t tell me the outcome. He told me how to walk through it.”
• “Our joy doesn’t come from the outcome—it comes from the Lord.”

In this episode of the Igniting Hearts Podcast, Kiersten Clegg sits down with Janis Dennis for a powerful conversation about trusting God’s provision, healing past wounds, and learning to wait with faith. Janis shares her personal testimony of growing up in financial lack, facing foreclosure as an adult, and how God patiently restored her understanding of provision—not just financially, but emotionally and spiritually.

This episode explores how unresolved wounds can shape our view of God, why patience is often a season of redirection, and how true freedom comes when our heart posture aligns with trust rather than fear. Through Scripture, prayer, and honest storytelling, this conversation invites listeners to experience healing, restoration, and renewed confidence in God’s faithfulness.

Topics Covered:

• Trusting God in seasons of financial uncertainty
• Healing childhood wounds that affect faith
• Understanding God as a good Father and Provider
• The power of waiting and divine redirection
• Heart posture, tithing, and authentic worship
• Finding wholeness through God’s presence

🔑Key Takeaways:

Provision Is More Than Financial
God’s provision doesn’t stop at paying bills or meeting physical needs—He also longs to heal the hidden wounds of the heart and restore our inner world.

Waiting Is Often a Redirection
Seasons of patience are not passive; they are moments where God lovingly shifts our perspective, heals old beliefs, and invites us into deeper trust.

Heart Posture Matters More Than Performance
Whether it’s giving, serving, or worshiping, God is after authenticity and relationship—not religious obligation or people-pleasing.

In this heartfelt conversation, Nanette Foster shares her powerful journey of stepping into freedom, creativity, and deeper connection with God. From an unexpected move to Alaska after divorce to discovering a more authentic, Spirit-led way of living, Nanette opens up about how spaciousness, healing, and surrender helped awaken her true identity and purpose.

Together, we explore what it means to “rewild” your heart — releasing rigid formulas, renewing your mind, and learning to recognize God’s voice through your unique, Spirit-led intuition. 

If you’ve ever felt stuck in autopilot or hungry to live more fully aligned with who God created you to be, this conversation will stir your faith and invite you into a wider, freer space. It is time to come alive to the way God uniquely created you, lean into His voice and step into the wide, grace-filled space He has open for you!

🔑Key Takeaways:

Learn the difference between autopilot and Spirit-led intuition
Not every inner reaction is guidance from God. Some responses come from past conditioning, fear, or subconscious shortcuts meant to keep us safe. Growth begins when we pause, ask “why,” and discern whether we’re being triggered or truly led.

Renewing your mind clears the pathway to hearing God
Healing old beliefs, rewiring thought patterns, and becoming aware of emotional and behavioral habits help keep your “intuitive river” clear. As your heart and mind are renewed, recognizing God’s voice becomes more natural and trustworthy.

God speaks through your unique design
There is no single formula for prayer, discernment, or spiritual connection. God meets each person personally—through thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, imagery, or inner knowing. Embracing how He created you opens the door to deeper relationship and confidence in His guidance.

Freedom grows when we release the need for self preservation and learn to trust
Prioritizing comfort and predictability can keep us stuck. Trusting God doesn’t remove responsibility, but it shifts our security from self-protection to oneness with Him—where true peace and direction are found.

Self-discovery can be a sacred invitation
Exploring who you are isn’t self-centered—it’s part of partnering with God. As you understand your identity and original design, you step more fully into the destiny He placed within you.

In this powerful episode of Igniting Hearts Podcast, Kiersten sits down with Kristina Williams—an oncology infusion and GI nurse with a deep love for Jesus—to share her testimony of walking through one of the hardest seasons of her life.

At 41, Kristina was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease during a time of intense financial stress after her husband’s business failed. While navigating role reversal in marriage, she also faced a debilitating autoimmune condition that wouldn’t respond to treatment—and later, medication-induced hepatitis.

Yet in the middle of anger, disappointment, and physical pain, Kristina made a decision: she would not own what God never gave her. 

Through persistent prayer, standing on Scripture (Psalm 103), and an encounter with Jesus, she saw her steps to healing included all things: repentance, forgiveness, wise medical care, and lifestyle changes. Kristina experienced healing—not through one single breakthrough moment, but through “all things working together for good.”

🔑 Today’s Themes

In this conversation, you’ll hear:

• How resentment and un-forgiveness were impacting her physical health
• Why she refused to say “my Crohn’s disease”
• The power of choosing what you partner with—diagnosis or truth
• How God uses medicine, food, prayer, and obedience together
• What to do when anxiety hits in the middle of real-life
• How chronic illness gave her compassion and boldness to minister to patients
• Why prayer isn’t passive—and how to make it your first response
  

Kristina’s story is not about perfection. It’s about persistence. It’s about going to God again and again and again—declaring, “Your Word says…”

🔑 Key Takeaways

If you are walking through: illness, financial strain, anxiety, or strained relationships this episode will remind you:

• God is not finished with your story.
• Healing can begin from the inside out.
• Forgiveness matters.
• You don’t have to give up.

In this powerful episode of Igniting Hearts, Kiersten welcomes Penny Williams, founder of Generation of Hope, for an honest and faith-stirring conversation about obedience, trust, and following God step by step—even when you feel completely unequipped.

Penny shares how, at age 53, God invited her into what she describes as a treasure hunt: a journey of clues, confirmations, and divine encounters that led her from normal every day life into a global mission now impacting nearly 500,000 children worldwide. Through stories of miracles, provision, deep loss, healing, and hope, Penny reveals how God works through ordinary people who are willing to look up, listen, and respond.

This episode is filled with encouragement for anyone who feels busy, unqualified, late, or unsure of what God is asking next. If you’ve ever wondered whether your simple yes could truly matter—this conversation will ignite your faith.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• How God calls us through small clues rather than full clarity
• Why feeling unequipped can actually be an advantage
• The story behind Generation of Hope and the Clubhouse in a Box program
• Real-life miracles, provision, and supernatural encounters
• How to slow down, look up, and notice God’s invitations in everyday life
• Why love—not perfection—is the greatest qualification

Scripture Highlight:

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we ask or imagine…” — Ephesians 3:20

In this powerful episode of Igniting Hearts, Kiersten sits down with longtime friend Roxanne Matsukado— Bible teacher, writer and worshiper—for an honest conversation about reclaiming hope in the middle of heartbreak. Roxanne shares her journey navigating disappointment and loss when everything she expected fell apart.

Together, they explore what it means to walk through suffering without walking alone, how redefining identity in Christ can shift despair into strength, and why learning to say “we” instead of “me” with God changes everything. You’ll hear practical ways to build an identity anchored in Christ, learn how to recognize and respond to God’s voice. This conversation sheds light on how God’s “no” or “not yet” can ultimately bring healing and purpose for us, and glory to God.

If you’ve ever felt broken, weary, or unsure how to move forward, this conversation will remind you that God sees you, walks with you, and is faithfully putting every piece back together.

✨ A hope-filled episode for anyone navigating loss, waiting seasons, or the journey of hearing God’s voice and standing strong in their identity.

Key Takeaways:

✨You Were Never Meant to Carry It Alone

Breakthrough came when identity shifted from “I have to do this” to “we are doing this together.”
Jesus doesn’t just walk beside you—He walks with you and in you.

✨God’s “No” Is Not Rejection—It’s Redirection for His Glory

Unanswered prayers don’t mean you failed or missed God.
Even in loss, delay, and suffering, He is present, purposeful, and working for good.

✨Identity Is Powerful, but Oneness With Christ Is Transformational

Knowing who you are matters—but knowing who you are in changes everything.
When emotions are shattered, anchoring your life in “we, not me” restores hope and strength.

Through stories of prayer, risk, and faithfulness within everyday moments, Julie illustrates how God’s presence transforms environments when we create space for Him. What began as simple acts of prayer and worship in hallways and classrooms became a powerful movement of intercession, community, and spiritual renewal. As the conversation unfolds, listeners are invited to see that God wastes nothing—every season, every “yes,” and every act of obedience prepares us for what’s next.

Together, Kiersten and Julie encourage listeners to lean into God’s nearness, linger in His presence, and walk with courage through open doors. This episode is a compelling reminder that favor may open the door, but courage is required to walk through it—and the adventure with God is always worth it!

Key Takeaways

✨God Nudges Are Invitations, Not Interruptions
The Holy Spirit’s nudges are gentle invitations into deeper connection and alignment with God. When we slow down, listen, and respond, we partner with Him in ways that can transform not only our own lives but the environments around us.

✨Favor Opens Doors, but Courage Walks Through Them
God’s favor creates opportunity, but it takes courage to step into the unknown. Courage is built in God’s presence—by lingering, savoring moments with Him, and trusting that He is near even when the path feels risky or unclear.

✨God Wastes Nothing—Your Obedience Prepares the Way for Others
Every act of faithfulness matters. What you steward today—your prayers, worship, and obedience—can create spiritual ground others will one day step into. Your “yes” may be the foundation for someone else’s breakthrough.

In this episode, Kiersten and her guest Rock dive into the practical and spiritual realities of carrying a God-given dream connected to your destiny. The invitation to “more” opens up an honest conversation about the power of surrender, trusting God when things don’t make sense, and why God’s timing doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.

They unpack how resistance should not deter us from obedience, but provide opportunity to trust in God’s faithfulness despite the tension. Together they explore what trust looks like during the journey —even when circumstances don’t make sense.

Their personal stories reveal the deeper work God does beneath the surface: shifting mindsets, strengthening faith, and aligning hearts with His purpose. They also discuss modeling trust in life, ministry, and marriage, and how rest and surrender are the keys.

Throughout the conversation, listeners will hear testimonies of God’s unexpected provision and the unforced rhythms of grace that shape every believer’s journey.

The episode ends with a powerful prayer for alignment, awakening, and preparation for what God is building in the days ahead.

Takeaways:

🔥Surrender Unlocks Breakthrough:
Genuine spiritual growth happens when we release control and allow God to move.

🔥God Works Beneath the Surface:
Even when life doesn’t look productive, God is doing deep, unseen heart work.

🔥Trust Leads to Transformation:
Surrender isn’t weakness—it’s trust. And trust is where God does His most powerful work.

Rock shares her powerful faith journey from radical salvation, to Bible school and prophetic commissioning, to leaving a long nursing career for full-time ministry. Throughout her story, she openly processes the tension between calling vs. comfort, performance vs. rest, provision vs. trust, and how God develops our identity in Christ while inviting us into deeper obedience.

Listeners will gain practical insight on following God’s leading, including how Rock navigated work, finances, mindset shifts, and hearing God in everyday decisions. You’ll hear real examples of how God confirmed direction, provided supernaturally, and reshaped her identity for assignment.

If you feel under-qualified, unsure, or stuck between what’s comfortable and what God is calling you into, this episode will build your faith. It’s a timely reminder that God doesn’t ask us to be qualified—He asks us to be surrendered.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Trust Requires Obedience: Following God means stepping into unfamiliar places before we feel ready.
• Identity Matters: False humility and poverty mindsets limit our ability to walk boldly in our calling.
• Provision Follows Obedience: God resources what He initiates; obedience unlocks provision.
• Performance Isn’t Partnership: Striving is not the same as obeying—God invites rest and partnership.
• God Speaks in the Familiar: Hearing God is often subtle, conversational, and recognizable over time.
• Your Yes Has Generational Impact: God thinks generationally, not momentarily.
• Outcomes Belong to God: Our role is obedience—God handles results, people, and timing.
