To Be Heard Podcast

...And, we're BACK with a brand new #ToBeHeardTuesday!

If you thought Jesus was in the business of shaming, condemning, and accusing people in their lowest moment, let me tell you, my friend:

YOU THOUGHT WRONG.

Tune in to be introduced to one of the greatest gifts included in our Good News package when we put our faith in Jesus:

Grace.

You'll have to press play to hear more of what I mean!

Be sure to leave a review if this episode blessed you! Follow and subscribe on whichever listening platform you tune in on to help me spread the word about God's Good News!

So, you've heard the gospel. You stop working for salvation. You go ahead and put your faith in Jesus instead. And then, all of a sudden this righteous, goody-two-shoes tells you that your salvation is only based off of your good works.

WARNING, listeners.

That's what we call a Pharisee.

And, today's #ToBeHeardTuesday is designed to make sure you're aware of their behaviors so you know how to separate an incomplete gospel from the real deal. You'll just have to press play to hear more of what I mean.

Be sure to follow @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram for more behind-the-scenes content. Exciting new episodes are on the way!

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” — Jesus | Matthew 11:28-30

Today's #ToBeHeardTuesday is more than just another episode; it's an invitation. If you're tired of working vigorously for your salvation, you might want to find those AirPods, turn your volume up, and press play. Today's #ToBeHeardTuesday is for you.

Be sure to follow @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram for more content!

Happy November, listeners!

Who's ready for a brand new month of more good news?!

After familiarizing ourselves with the FULL gospel last month on the podcast—that we don't have to work for our salvation—this month, we're honing in on another important factor of this good news:

If we don't have to work, that means we get to rest.

Rest in what? You'll have to press play to find out!

Be sure to leave a review, follow/subscribe, and rate the podcast if this episode blessed you! Stay tuned for more challenging, encouraging, and truthful episodes on the way!

I've said it once, & I'll say it again:

You are saved not by your good works—only by faith in Jesus.

The rich young ruler proved that to us. So did Peter. So did the five thousand.

But, after hearing so many stories pertaining to the gospel in the Bible—in today's #ToBeHeardTuesday—I'm ready to share mine.

Press play to tune into a vulnerable episode explaining why I am most persistent in preaching the same message episode after episode. I believe the gospel is the most important message that needs to be heard, & I'm thrilled for the chance to preach it one last time in the month of October.

Be sure to let me know how you've been enjoying season six so far by leaving a review! Also, don't forget to follow/subscribe on whatever listening platform you're tuned in on (including following @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram). You'll hear from me in November!

Just when you thought the Good News couldn't get any better...

Here comes the fourth #ToBeHeardTuesday of Season 6!

For another biblical perspective on the Gospel of Jesus Christ—that salvation comes by FAITH, and not by your good works—turn your volume up to join me in studying a well-known miracle in the Bible. While it may not seem to have much to do with the gospel, I hope to convince you otherwise. Press play to hear more of what I mean!

Just when you thought the good news couldn't get any better...here comes the second #ToBeHeardTuesday of Season 6!

Today's news flash is inspired by none other than the man featured in the title: the rich young ruler found in Matthew 19. It's because of his conversation with Jesus that we have a perfect explanation of the gospel. Not convinced just yet? You're just gonna have to tune in!

GOOD NEWS!

To Be Heard Podcast is back with a BRAND NEW SEASON.

And, this time? We're coming in hot with some...

GOOD NEWS.

Good news, as in, THE good news:

The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

You aren't made righteous in God's sight by being perfect. It is only by His grace & through your faith in Him.

Aren't convinced just yet? Don't worry. This news will be announced alllll season long. You'll just have to tune into each #ToBeHeardTuesday to hear all about it!

Thanks for celebrating with me! Until next time...

You don't really have a lot to show for.

One thing you CAN flex, though, is one not many can.

You're going to have to press play to find out what it is.

As Season Five comes to a close, I present to you our most vulnerable conversation yet. Prepare to be challenged, as I'm holding myself to the standard discussed in today's #ToBeHeardTuesday as well.

Let the last month of Season 5 COMMENCE with a brand new #ToBeHeardTuesday!

The title of today's episode is a prayer I believe every follower of Jesus should pray. As we commit ourselves to walking in our God-given purpose in a world that consistently rejects God's way, we oughta know how to be as shrewd as the world is.

Want to know more of what I mean? Press PLAY for an important bible study on shrewdness. Not to mention, be sure to read a blog I posted many years back for additional context:

https://www.ayanasymone.com/post/show-me-shrewd

Who knew that the miracle of the feeding of 5,000 recorded in Matthew 14 and John 6 would teach such a significant lesson on...leadership?!?

In today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, we're studying two verses that stopped me in my tracks not too long ago--verses that go along with everything we've discussed in Season Five so far: not just DOING, but BEING.

For an important lesson on stewarding your influence God's way, press play, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend!

(Or, for the purpose of today's episode, to know what it truly means to fan what our Father gave us.)

You'll have to tune in to hear more of what I mean! Be sure to have 2 Timothy handy.

And, to commemorate such a fantastic season of being heard together, today we're talking about the voice that needs to be heard the most. Not only that, but how to hear this voice, know this voice, all the while recognizing how much this voice can quite literally change your life.

You probably already know who this voice belongs to, but whether you do or don't, I urge you to press play anyway. (And, don't skip the long introduction where I say, "Thank you!" x 1000. I honestly don't think I've said it enough.)

But, this time?
We're getting a littttle personal...

After having the privilege of sharing my testimony with some INCREDIBLE women of God, I was most encouraged to share my testimony with YOU ALL! While you might've heard it before, I still continue to be in awe of how God took an old childhood wound and turned it around for good.

And, for today's #ToBeHeardTuesday? We're coming in with a bang!

While we spent last week studying one of the silliest, yet most profound prophets of all time, we're picking up right where we left off with another prophet worth studying—Hosea. Filled with deep messages on love & relationship, the book of Hosea is jampacked with truth that needs to be heard. And, lucky for you, we're diving into it ALL together for today's #ToBeHeardTuesday.

Today's episode NEEDS to be heard. 

In light of the Asbury Revival that took place this month, I was reminded of a significant revival that happened in one of the most profound books in the Old Testament--the book of Jonah.

Brace yourselves, listeners—
For today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, we're going deep. 

After spending many months avoiding what I considered to be the scariest verse in the bible—Genesis 6:6—where it says that God regretted making human beings, I dared to take a closer look at it...and the revelation was mind-blowing.

Lucky for all of us today, we're going to study the text together! And, as much as this study has blessed me, I'm believing it will bless you too. 

Go ahead & press play to see what I mean. Have a happy #ToBeHeardTuesday!

Happy February, listeners!
There's a lot we oughta celebrate this month...

...and, it starts with today's #ToBeHeardTuesday!

After talking about the importance of humility in last week's episode, we're taking our conversation just a tad bit further, leaning into an important principle introduced in James 3:13—wisdom. 

And, how can we talk about wisdom without talking about King Solomon, am I right?

TUNE IN to take an honest look at the full extent of Solomon's life and how we can learn from him. As much as it changed my prayer life, I'm believing it can change yours too. Let me know if this episode blessed you by leaving a review! And, give @tobeheardpodcast a follow on Instagram to stay up-to-date with all the fun episodes to come this month. Thanks for listening!

January 2023 #ToBeHeardTuesdays are a WRAP with today's brand new episode!

And, to close us out—
We're talking about something that needs to be heard. 

In a culture that makes everything about YOU—how youfeel, what youare going through, the pain youmay be experiencing—it's worth spending a #ToBeHeardTuesday challenging that. In other words, today, we're talking about selfishness. 

And, it's up to you to press play to see what the Bible has to say about it.

If this episode challenged you, be sure to let me know in the reviews! Share it with a friend, and give @tobeheardpodcast a follow on Instagram. Many more encouraging, challenging, and truthful episodes are on the way! Sign up to become a member at ayanasymone.com/members to stay in the loop.

Okay, listeners—
If we're gonna be heard together on this fourth season of To Be Heard Podcast, we need to know what The Bible says. Right?

Well, how many of us know that we can't just read the Bible off like a script if we want our voice to be heard? No! We actually have to do what it says. 

And, let's just say...some things are easier read than done.
Hence the purpose of today's #ToBeHeardTuesday.

Tune in as we talk about some convicting messages in scripture, the controversy that comes with obeying it, and all of the hard parts of being heard. 

WARNING:
This episode may or may not challenge you.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THAT?!
And, for the last #ToBeHeardTuesday of the year, how can we learn from this? 

I'm glad you asked! We are talking about an important principle for us to apply as we walk in the new year by learning from the text in Matthew 16:13-23, with a special appearance of verse 24 too. 

Turn your volume up! And, maybe have a notepad ready too. We're going to enter into the new year the RIGHT way, yeah?

And, the celebration continues!
After dwelling in the sweetness of the gospel in last week's episode—discovering together that salvation is for everyone who calls on His name—today, we're going even deeper to discover where that call comes from in the first place and what God is really after when He comes to your aid. 

You'll have to tune in to hear more of what I mean! In the meantime, don't forget to purchase your copy of my new book, My Name is Anxiety, on Amazon.

So, turn your volume up ONE LAST TIME to study a verse that NEEDS TO BE HEARD. If Jesus Christ—the Son of God—has set you free, you are free indeed! Point. Blank. Period!

(And, just as a heads up, you'll want to listen all the way through today's episode. A SUPER fun announcement is being made at the end. Be on the lookout! I love you!)

Alright, listeners!
Today's #ToBeHeardTuesday—the second to last one before this third season ends—is something sweet!

With a good ol' fashioned Q&A, I'm handing YOU the microphone and covering the topics that YOU think need to be heard!

Thank you to everyone who submitted a question! I hope my answers equip you to move forward in your freedom journey.

Be sure to rate the podcast, leave a review, and follow/subscribe on any listening platform! Follow @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram, and come back NEXT WEEK for a HUGE end-of-season-three celebration! 

One thing we can all agree on, ESPECIALLY as this third season comes to an end, is this:
Freedom is a JOURNEY. 

There's always going to be a road ahead of us, always another level for us to go to, always a next step we'll have to take. And, on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, I'm asking us ALL:

What's ours? What next step do we have to take in order to move forward in our freedom journey? Because after taking a look at some key principles found in Scripture, where Jesus OFTEN gave someone an action step to take after He healed them, I believe Jesus ALSO has a next step for us as we move forward in freedom. 

Tune into today's episode to hear more of what I mean! And, be sure to submit ANY questions you may have for next week's Q&A to my email at theauthor@ayanasymone.com.

While Season Three slowly—but surely (unfortunately)—comes to an end, there are a couple of things that NEED TO BE HEARD before we reach the finish line. And, of those things are a topic that I am featuring on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday. 

You guessed it!
I'm talking about friendship. 

And, not just about the importance of friendship, but how to find them, build them, and prosper in them by studying a text that is seemingly unrelated to the topic. You'll have to tune in to find out what I mean! I pray this episode helps you immensely.

And...so it begins—
Today's #ToBeHeardTuesday marks the FINAL month of Season Three of To Be Heard Podcast!

Anyone else emotional?

But, this only means we have to make EVERY #ToBeHeardTuesday count!

That being said, be sure to listen to today's episode, titled, "Practice Makes Perfect," where we talk about a KEY principle mentioned MANY times before in Scripture—doing the difficult thing daily. Because, let's be real, no one goes to the gym once and gets abs tomorrow. Sometimes, it takes some practice, consistency, and commitment for you to get good at it and see some pretty rewarding results. 

Tune in to hear more of what I mean! And, be sure to rate this episode, leave a review, follow/subscribe on whatever platform you're listening on, and check out @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram for more helpful resources. 

One more month to go?
LET'S DO THIS!

On last week's #ToBeHeardTuesday, we talked about letting God's love in. But, perhaps we need to take a look at the barriers we've built around our hearts that stop us from fully experiencing it.

In other words: WALLS! Let's talk about the walls you've built up in your heart. And, not only that, but how you can tear them down, according to a story found in Joshua 6. I hope today's study helps you as much as it helped me!

Be sure to rate this episode and leave a review, follow/subscribe to whatever listening platform you're tuned in on, and share To Be Heard Podcast with a friend!

ONE MORE MONTH LEFT OF THIS SEASON.
Let's do this!

"How do I love God?"
"How do I love others?"
"How do I love myself?"

If you've ever asked ANY of these questions before, today's #ToBeHeardTuesday is for YOU! (And, you know what? Today's episode is for me to hear, as well!) Because as we talk about living a free life that is COMPLETELY possible in Christ, our journey would not be complete if we let these questions go unanswered. 

You'll have to tune into today's #ToBeHeardTuesday to hear more of what I mean!

Be sure to follow/subscribe, rate, and leave a review! Also, don't forget to follow @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram, and connect with me over on my website at ayanasymone.com!

Let the second half of Season Three COMMENCE with the first #ToBeHeardTuesday of February! And, after we spent the last couple of months identifying our childhood wounds, the root of our struggle, and maybe even some unhealthiness in our hearts, we can't help but ask the question...

NOW, WHAT DO WE DO!?
And, hey! It's a good question. 

Tune into today's episode to start the journey of finding out the answer together! Don't forget to keep up with @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram for more resources, and stay connected with me over on my website at ayanasymone.com.

Prepare for an AMAZING month!

Well, listeners! The "Finally Free" Series is a WRAP after today's #ToBeHeardTuesday! And, to close us out, I'm sitting down with a leader who has tapped into a level of freedom we ALL want to access as well:

Happy new year, listeners!
We are kicking off A BRAND NEW SERIES, titled "Finally Free," right here on To Be Heard Podcast!

"Finally Free" is a four-part series, where I'll be inviting four of my sisters and friends on to talk about what God set them free from, battles they've faced, lessons they've learned, and healing they've undergone over time to convince you that a free life is possible! And, our first guest to kick off this series is my good friend, Heather Savonne!

Heather is a faith-based blogger, singer/songwriter, worship leader, and Youtuber with a great story to tell. And, for the first installment of the "Finally Free" Series, I am honored to have her join me in this can't-miss conversation! Be sure to follow Heather on Instagram, Spotify, and Youtube! And, get ready for a great new month right here on To Be Heard Podcast! 

So, you have your resolutions, you've made your bucket list, you're prepared for the best new year ever...as you should be!
But, what about the things you aren't ready for? What about the things that happen that you never saw coming?
Will you lose your zeal? Will you stop moving forward? Will you instead give up and turn back around?

This is exactly what we'll be talking about for the last #ToBeHeardTuesday of the year! In the case that this upcoming year is filled with things we simply aren't ready for, there's a certain passage of Scripture we can always refer to to help us move forward.

After praying all the prayers and completing all the fasts, I came to the end of myself in January of 2021. And, it was when I hit the peak of my frustration is when I began asking God the question that was stirring in my heart all along. 

"Why do we fast in the first place?!"

Low and behold, the answer was found in Isaiah 58, and on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, I wanted nothing more than to study together! So, go ahead! Press play. Let's see what God has to say about fasting. And, be sure to leave a review if this episode brought you some clarity. 

Thank you in advance! You'll hear from me again next week. 

Jesus was the healthiest man on earth. Wouldn't you agree? He walked through everything we talk through and still remained confident, true to Himself, and most importantly, He was humble. After talking about a huge component of a healthy heart on last week's #ToBeHeardTuesday, I'm introducing a topic that can heal every wound and set us all free:

Humility.
You can't be healthy if you're not humble!
You'll have to tune in to find out more of what I mean!

Last week on the podcast, we all heard something that NEEDED to be heard:

God created us to be HUMAN BEINGS.
Not robots. Not machines. Not zombies.
HUMANS. 

Which means we feel, we think, we have emotions. That's part of being a healthy individual! But, on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, I'm taking this conversation a step further by discussing another component we CAN'T miss if we're going to be healthy. You'll have to tune in to find out what I mean! 

Be sure to follow/subscribe, rate, and leave a review on To Be Heard Podcast wherever you listen! And, follow To Be Heard Podcast on Instagram @tobeheardpodcast. 

And, that's a wrap for this season's #ToBeHeardTuesdays for the month of November! Crazy how quickly time flies, right!? But, as we close out this month by continuing to move forward in our freedom journey, today, I want to talk about a spirit that sets us FREE!

That's right!
I'm talking about the Holy Spirit!

And, for those of you who feel like your feelings of anger, sadness, grief, heartbrokenness, and other not-so-pretty emotions such as these means that the Holy Spirit left you, I've recorded today's #ToBeHeardTuesday to prove you wrong. You'll have to press play to hear more of what I mean! And, be sure to follow @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram for more helpful resources for your freedom journey with the Lord! 

Here's what you need to HEAR on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday:

If you belong to Christ Jesus, you are FREE from condemnation.
You are FREE from accusation.
You are NOT guilty. 

But, the enemy will try to tell you otherwise...and he will often try to use the spirit of religion to do so. 

That is why we are exposing the spirit of religion in plain sight on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday, as I am encouraging us ALL to ask him the question Paul asked in Romans 8, the question that is the title of today's episode: "HOW DARE YOU?"

Tune in to hear more of what I mean! And, don't forget to rate the podcast and leave a review! 

*CLARIFICATION: When you hear me say "you CAN sin" in today's episode, I mean it in the context of what you have potential to do, not what you have permission to do. Our conversation today will continue in next week's episode. Thank you for listening!*

Last week on To Be Heard Podcast, we asked ourselves an important question:
Who are we?

But, this week? It's time we ask a more important question:
Who is God?

Is He good? Bad? Kind? Mean? Patient? Moody?

WHO IS HE?!

However you answer this question determines how far you'll go in your freedom journey with the Lord. Even further, how you answer this question determines how you live your life...hence why, I'm VERY excited to answer this question on today's #ToBeHeardTuesday! I hope today's episode brings you clarity. Thank you in advance for listening!

*At minute 25:00-25:18, specifically at the 7th second, here's what you should've heard: "God just allowed me to explore. And again, when I say explore, I'm talking about exploring ONLY under the lordship of Christ." I don't believe I clarified that when recording, but please use this notation as clarification. Thank you!*

Happy, happy #ToBeHeardTuesday, listeners! Are you ready to take the next step in our freedom journey? After asking us all such a weighty, yet simple question on last week's episode, I thought it'd be appropriate to ask ourselves another insightful question that has been challenging me the most in my journey with God. It's a question I've titled today's #ToBeHeardTuesday and a question I pray you'll want to take time to answer with me. You'll have to give the episode a listen in order to do so! Be sure to tune in!

And, the freedom journey CONTINUES with a brand new #ToBeHeardTuesday! And, for this week's episode? I've got something that NEEDS to be heard...

Last week, we talked about childhood wounds—how childhood deeply affects adulthood. Now, this week? We're talking about addiction.

Addiction. Sin cycles. That "thing" you feel like you can't get free from.
We're going to take a look back at our beginning again by going to THE beginning. That's right!
We're going back to the Garden of Eden.

My prayer is that by taking a look at the first time sin entered into the world, we would have better clarity and understanding of how we can get out of ours. 'Cause a free life IS possible, and it's possible for you!

Be sure to rate this episode, leave a review, and follow/subscribe on any listening platform you tune in on. And, don't forget to follow @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram for more helpful articles, resources, and more! 

ANNND, we're back for round TWO of Season Three of To Be Heard Podcast! We kicked off our freedom journey last week, but today continues with a #ToBeHeardTuesday that NEEDS to be heard...

For those of you like me who feel like you've prayed all the right prayers, finished every fast possible, memorized the scriptures, responded to all the altar calls, and yet you still found yourself fighting the same fight:

Today's #ToBeHeardTuesday is for you!

While you may feel that your struggle comes from "not having enough faith," today, I want to suggest to you that you could need healing from childhood wounds. And, not only that, but the one who holds every detail of your life in His book wants to heal you in every place you've been hurt! 

Give today's episode a listen for more! And, follow @tobeheardpodcast on Instagram for more helpful and healing resources! 

WELL, LOOK WHO IT IS! If it isn't my favorite listener BACK AGAIN for SEASON THREE! WOOHOO!

Season 2 of To Be Heard Podcast is a WRAP! But, before we end, I've got to get one final word in that NEEDS to be heard. I've said from the beginning that my goal for this season was for you to hear that you're loved by Jesus in EVERY #ToBeHeardTuesday you tune into. Well, in the last episode of the season, I want to share with you the main reason why that was on my heart as much as it was. I hope that you hear it, receive it, and ultimately BELIEVE IT because none of us can afford to live this life without knowing just how much the Creator of the entire universe loves us. Thank you for being the best listeners ever! If I was going to walk through a season as crazy as this one, I would prefer it to be with YOU! THANK YOU!
